The night riders still Insist that Ken tucky has tobacco to burn. Some of the Standard Oil democrats still refuse to use Hearst's soap. Ak-Sar-Ben will proceed to show us all attln that the last Is always the best. It must have been a typographical mistake. Mr. Bryan is suffering from oils, not boils. 'Ia view of the cool weather, Ak-Sar-Ben'a greeting to his guests should be al) the warmer. " ' '"'' "Can Foraker defeat Taft?" asks the New York World. Don't know, but It is plain that Bryan can not. it Is perfectly natural that Standard Oil officials should try to make light of the democratic scandals. "The offensive Bmell must go," de clares the Chicago Record-Herald. Then Governor Haskell went. Governor Haskell Is said to be a great base ball fan. He has just made a home run without making a hit. A Pittsburg editor declares that 60 per cent of the American women are knock-kneed. How does he know? The Standard Oil company may be able to pay that $29,240,000 fine if It lops the democratic party off its pay roll. An explanation Is due from the gen tleman who promised that this was tD be "a campaign of dignity and si lence." Evidently the world Is getting bet ter. A new president took charge of affairs In Peru this week without start ing a revolution. Every loyal subject of Ak-Sar-Ben should make himself a reception com mittee of one to show our Ak-Sar-Ben week visitors a good time. Governor Haskell sayt he has been doing things. He has. but that is not a very complimentary term to apply to his Oklahoma constituent. The aviator takes his chances, of course, but has consolation in the thought that he Is nearer heaven than most men get In these sinful days. Three Omaha streets are to be re cnrlstened to give them names that will sound more euphoniously on the delicate timbrels of the public ear. Captain Hobson is tourtng the east with hie Japanese war acare. He is at tracting almost as much attention as Senator Foraker's silence on the Brownsville incident. Sugar saturated with coal oil Is rec ommended as a cure for aore throat. This will encourage the suf ferer from a sore throat to bear the affliction more patiently. . Exporters are already bidding for the surplus wheat crop of the nation and they are offering more a bushel than the value o an ounce of silver, If Farmer Bryan should inquire. ' . . ... "A ten-dollar bill plaated In the Bryan campaign fund now may sprout Into a juicy consulship In about six month," says the democratic Houston Post, which la gnere frank than funny. ifBiir iroftD Bnr.j.v rwf , , Colonel Henry Wattrrson and Hon. Richard Olney, both eminent demo crats of the old school who are now supporting Mr. Bryan with as much real as they opposed him In and In 1900. have offended the Nebraska leader by intimating that he would not. and could not do the country any harm, in case of his election, because a republican senste would stand be tween him and the enactment Into law of any of bis manifold vagaries. Mr. Bryan dissents from his sponsors on that proposition. In a recent speech at Medina, N. Y., he Bald: If I am elected the house will probably be democratic and we will have only a republican senate to deal with; and in cane our victory Is a decided one, we will make gains In the irnate. Not all the republican senators will be willing to dis regard the deliberate expression of opin ion On ths part of the American people. Mr. Bryan's Intimation that the ma jority Of the United States senate, as now constituted, "disregard the delib erate expression of opinion on the part ofsthe American people" is as unwar ranted as his Inference that the re publican' majority would change Its attitude In case of his election as pres ident. The experiment has been tried and In Mr. Bryan's public career. As a congressman, with a democratic ma jority In the house, he voted for a free trade measure, which was promptly killed by a republican senate. Jupt as a free trade measure that he and a democratic house might pass would be killed by a republican senate, the po litical complexion of which can not be changed during the next six years. It Is Impossible to forecast what Mr. Bryan would attempt, if he were elected president, although he could hardly accomplish much in the way of legislation. He has promised so much legislation that it Is certain that he would at least burden the con gressional calendars with chough; ob noxious and dangerous bills to keep congress In a turmoil and unsettle bus iness conditions for an Indefinite pe riod. , , Mr. Bryan has promised that if elected he will at once convene con gress in special session to revise the tariff. He has no specific plan of tariff legislation except to reduce the schedules a little at a time until he has run the list of experimental legis lation. He has promised, in other words, to prolong Indefinitely the pe riod of commercial and industrial un certainty. He would prevent mills from starting up, merchants from buy ing except at piecemeal, and unsettle business conditions throughout the country during his entire term of office, as there is no prospect that he would in four years find a senate In sympathy with his free trade notions. Mr. Bryan is pledged to immediate acknowledgment of the Independence of the Filipinos, a proposition that has been overwhelmingly vetoed by the American people, and which could not secure the sanction of the senate dur ing his term of office. As a remedy for trust evils and r.-il-road abuses. Mr. Bryan proposes a po litical rarebit dream which even the democratic members of the senate have repudiated as vague, visionary and wholly unworthy serious consideration. Failure to regulate, which he has al ways predicted, would pave the way for his advocacy of government owner ship of railways. The country demands progressive legislation. It wants salutary amend ments to the anti-trust law. The hands of the Interstate Commerce commis sion need strengthening. Corporation abuses must be removed and active law enactment and enforcement are de manded along the lines already laid down by President Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan's election would simply call a halt in remedial legislation and accentuate industrial Inertia, retard the country's material progress and alarm business and commercial Inter ests. improving mak coxrnoi.. Comptroller of the Currency Mur ray has been doing most effective work In prescribing rules for the guidance of bank examiners upon whom de volves the duty of investigating the condition of the national banks of the country. Heretofore the bank exam iners have been a law unto themselves and there has been a deplorable lack of system in their met hods of opera tion. Comptroller Murray proposes to remedy this defect in the system by outlining a general and systematic plan of examination. Mr. Murray has promised the examiners that they shall have the full and entire support of the Treasury department in their work and he has admonished the public that he will give no heed to the complaints that many banks have been In the habit of sending to his office after they have been subjected to a complete and thorough examination. The comp troller has decided that hereafter banks shall be examined with these objects Iti view: Prompt presentation to the t'nlted States attorney of any criminal practices discovered Excluelon of suspected officers or em ployes from the bank. Notifications to correspondent banks. Attention to maturing paper. Attention to paper received for collec tion. Contents of safety deposit boxes. Duties of examiner lu charge when sus pension Is supposed to be temporary. Best method of verifying the bank'a copy of: Reports of condition and re ports of earnings and dtvtdenda. Best method of figuring the reserve of nstionsl banks, differentiating between country banks, reserve city banks anl central reserve city banks, and consider ing especially segregation of currency and the ( per cent redemption fund. The classification ef Items under "bonds. securities, etc." discussing separately rail road notes, school, county and city war rants and loeaes. The comptroller tskes the position that any existing distrust of the effi ciency and reliability of. the bank x- amlners Is due largely to the careless ness or Incompetency of a few examin ers who for any reason fall to live tip to the prescribed rules. He hopes that his Insistence upon compliance with the rules of the department will ictn edy all possible defects In the pxaniina tlons. Quite as Important as the new rules for the examiners Is the decision of the ibmptroller to notify bank di rectors of their duties and to require that all criticisms from the department at Washington be spread on the min utes of the directors and read at their meetings. This, It Is urged, will de prive bank directors of the claim that they did not know what other officials of the bank8 were doing and thus re lieve themselves of their share of re sponsibility In case of bank failures. The reforms urged by Mr. Murray are thoroughly practical and It is be lieved that most, if not all. of them may be accomplished without the necessity of legislation by congress. Bankers and bank patrons will wel come any rules looking to minimizing the' dangers arising from Inefficient or lax bank Inspection. JUE HEW OMAHA. Out-of-town visitors to the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival are invited to take note of the new Omaha that will greet their eyes if they will only be observant. Those who have not been here for sev eral years will see the striking contrast more than those whose frequent visits make the change less perceptible. It is a fact, nonetheless, that within the last four or five years Omaha has been largely transformed In outward appearance and now for substantial business blocks and warehouses bears favorable comparison with any city In the country which It approaches In population. This transformation is most marked In what is known as the wholesale dis trict, where Imposing modern build ings house the growing jobbing trade which centers here. In the retail section, too, beautiful new store buildings, new fronts for window display, new hotels and new office structures show the progress which has been made. Omaha's business streets have a metropolitan appearance which re flects the metropolitan dimensions of Its commercial activities. If ocular demonstration Is convincing, the new Omaha will surely Impress one and all with the assured future greatness close in front of our growing city. rrro characteristic quotations. Here are two characteristic quota tions from the democratic candidate for president. The first Is taken from Mr. Bryan's second letter addressed to President Roosevelt, as follows: Mr. Haskell, having voluntarily resigned from the committee, I need not discuss the question of his guilt or innocence fur ther than to say that the public service he haa tendered and the vote of confidence he has received from the people ot his state ought to protect him from condemna tion until the charges can be examined in some court where partisanship does not bias and where campaign exigencies do riot compel pre-judgment. I would not deem It necessary to address you further but for the fact that you seize upon the charges and attempt to make political cap ital out of It. You even charge that my connection with Mr. Haskell's selection as a member of the resolutions committee and as treasurer of the committee raises a ijiiestlon as to my sincerity as an opponent of trusts and monopolies. As an Individ ual and as the candidate of my party, I resent the. charge and repel the Insinua tion. The second quotation is from an editorial article written by Mr. Bryan for the Commoner, under the caption, "Purity In Politics," reading: Why should a party support an official who has brought disgrace upon It by his unfaithfulness? When a good official falls his party cannot escape some censure, even though the official's previous record was such as to justify the party's confidence. Hut the party cannot defend an official after his fall without assuming responsi bility for his sins. Neither Is it incum bent upon a party to Incur risk in defend ing a member of the party against charges not yet proved In court. Purity in politics requires not merely that officials shall keep out of the penitentiary, but that they shall be above suspicion. If under suspto lon they should slep aside until th cloud Is removed. Wlien an official shows the first symptoms of that disastrous official disease known as "the Itching palm," he should be quarantined until he Is entirely recovered, or until it is shown that he did not have the disease. According to the record, however, Mr. Bryan did nothing but defend Gov ernor Haskell until the latter "volun tarily" quarantined himself. Nebraska has had a campaign pub licity law on Its statute books for ten years, but the Bryanites have not only failed to make their campaign con tributions public before election, but they have also failed to make them public after election. Moreover, this law defiance is chargeable to Mr. Bryan's own brother-in-law, which brings it pretty close home. With their own record in Nebraska staring them in the face, it takes nerve for Bryan orators or organs in these parts to boast about their superior virtue in the matter of campaign fund publicity. With the mayor, the city comptrol ler and the assistant city attorney all chasing around the country making po litical speeches, one would expect the local democratic organ to raise a howl of protest against the evacuation of the city hall and the flagrant neglect of official duty. But there will be no protest Inasmuch as they , are demo cratic officials enlisted In the demo cratic campaign. It all depends whose ox is gored. Mr. Bryan's new campaign treasurer announces that no contribution will be received from any person expecting favors In return. It will be necessary to recruit a staff of political clairvoy ants at once to uncover the intent of each campaign fund contributor. la- cldentally, we presume this means that Mr. Bryan's personal contribution will be returned to him. The son of Candidate Shallenberger. running for governor on the demo cratic ticket In Nebraska, has been commissioned by the president as ao officer In the army appointed from civil life. This Is pretty good proof that the republican president applies no political test In examinations for army preferment. "Haskell resign?" repeated Colonel Mose Wetmore. "I guess"hot. He gave me $20,000 on Monday night as his contribution to the campaign fund." here did Haskell got it and how did it happen that he was allowed to give $20,000. when the limit is supposed to be $10,000. According to the veracious report of a staff correspondent of the local demo cratic organ. Senator Owen of Okla homa has "proved himself the peer of any campaign orator on the stump." With Mr. Bryan stumping for himself, this is nothing short of lese majeste. Mr. Bryan says he can not take time to further discuss the Haskell caBe. Mr. Bryan Is too busy to stop to bind the wounds of all the lame ducks in his list of party confidantes and ad visers. An inventor has a washing' machine which he claims will clean 300 gar ments In fifteen minutes. He can get steady employment by applying at the headquarters of the democratic na tional committee. Tom Watson says that if anybody offered $10,000 to ex-Senator Petti grew for ten speeches on any subject "they had more money than sense." That's where Watson will get a unani mous vote of approval. Mr. Bryan Insists that he did not know about Governor Haskell's con nection with the Standard Oil's polit ical pipe line. It Is refreshing to hear Colonel Bryan confessing Ignorance to anything under the sun.. New York courts are discussing whether a man may marry by proxy. If they decide it in the affirmative, Nat Goodwin will be saved a lot of court expenses. The Revised Version. Brooklyn Eagle.

New York Tribune. Mr. Haskell does not intend to admit by his resignation that any of the charges against him are true. At a meeting down at Bugjuice Hollow one night the chair man announced: "There's a chicken thief In this room who's got the goods on hlra, and If he don't get right out o" here I'll come down and throw him out!" At thst Moonlighter Wiggins struck a swift trail for the door, remarking as he made his solitary exit, "I ain't admitting that what that feller says is true, nohow!" PERSONAL XITEH, In his excitement Mr. Haskell has over looked another office from which resigna tion would be appreciated. New York authorities have arrested a rich man on the charges of burglary and arson. It Is felt that there are limits even to the privileges of wealth.

FIRING LINE. ttlal rarts for Consideration at Tks(ktral People. Brooklyn Kagle (ind. dcm.). Each ot the two candidates has a record. Gave as to service, for two terms ss a congressman, Mr. Bryan has had no official employmtint. His freedom from criticism corresponds. It Is certain that he Would now be enjoying no such Immunity had he been invested with the responsibility s of place, had he been summoned t9 the exercise of power. To that extent h I" fortunate. With his republican adversary. It Is other w4e. For many years he lias been, as an official, only leas conspicuous than th president himself. It has fallen to his lot to figure In the solution ot soma com plicated problems. There Is no nectssity for enumerating them. Nor is thr much necessity for adding that he has acquitted himsslf with credit to the country. He has Invariably proved to be the right man In the right place. In one respect, Mr. Taft furnishes a nota ble exception to the rule. It would bs dif ficult. If not Impossible, to cite a parallel case. It la remarkable that, taking Into account all he has done, he should have furnished such slight occupation for the critics. Indeed, he may be said to have given them none at all, with suoh signal ability and unselfishness has he done what he deemed to be his duty. So much for the past. At the present moment both candidates are telling the voters what they may expect. One of the facts beyond dispute is that Mr. Bryan Is and cannot be basing any of his assur ances upon previous performances. He bat literally nothing to recall but promises. They would fill not a book, but a library. He could not. In a single campaign re count them all. Borne of them he will pre fer not to mention. To repeat, with his republican adver sary, It Is otherwise. There Is no known reason why he should not challenge scrut iny of all that he has said and done. But the assurances he Is now giving are, prin cipally, pertinent. The scales havs two pans. In one are the pledges of Mr. Bryan; In the other the promises of Mr. Taft. Weight will be attached to them at the polls, where the voters will decide which "tips the beam." Partisans will line up with their partisanship. Democratic advocates will contend that Mr. Bryan would make the better president. Republican advocates will reverse the assertion and vote accordingly. Whllo they are arguing with each other. those who have nothing In mind but the welfare of their country will not lose sight of that which Is Incontrovertible. Presuming Mr. Bryan's aptitudes for administration to be on a par with those of Mr. Taft and granting that In other respects there Is little or nothing to choose between them. In one particular the, Chi cago nominee has an advantage. He has capacity and character, plus experience. What one will have to learn, the other knows. Assuming other things to be equal, this furnishes latitude for choice. The People's Choice. Washington Post (Ind.). The unfortunate revlatlons of the last few days demonstrate again either that President Roosevelt Is possessed of great foresight or that fortune is ou his side. Ho looms larger than ever In ' the public eye. Tho bonfires that consume the repu tations of other men serve as Illum inations In his honor. A sharp and bitter point is given to his persistent fight for truth, honesty, and fidelity In business and public life. The reforms he has ad vocated and the policies he has framed are more than ever approved by the peo ple. Ho Is trusted by the people as no other man Is trusted. It Is due to Mr. Roosevelt, more than to any other man, that the public is so keenly sensitive of the honor of Its servants. The prac tices which prove so damaging now to certain public men would not have aroused such universal condemnation If they had been exposed before Mr. Roose velt began his campaign for square deal ing and fidelity. One by one the reforms embodied In the Roosevelt policies win their way. They are becoming imbodled In the peo ple's will. The people are going forward, not backward. They do not turn their backs upon reform nor do these reforms go backward. When a new standard of public virtue Is set up it remains. There may be improvement, but there Is never any change for the worse. Be cause President Roosevelt haa formu lated these reform policies, and fought for them with astonishing vigor, againBt any and all odds, the people believe In him. They would have had him remain in the White House to carry his policies forward. But since that could not be, they will select the next best man to carry forward the same policies. The Roosevelt policies must go marching on, although Roosevelt himself will not b In the lead. The man who comes nearest to repre senting the policies of President Roose velt will be. the man whom the people will place in the White House. Bryan and the Haakell Incident. Kansas City Star. (ind ). The only difference In the reputation of Governor Haskell of Oklahoma today and his reputation before he became a favor It of Mr. Bryan Is a difference In the extent of publicity. The general charges against Mr. Haskell were made long before the Denver con vention. His connection with big corpor ations hsd bsn known. The Monett Inci dent was common property. Mr. Bryan knows nothing about Mr. Haskell that he did not know before, or that he might not have known and should have known be fore he made him his most Intimate cam. palgn ally. But now that the Haskell charges have been spread broadcast over the country in the middle of the presidential campaign Mr. Haskell become a load too heavy to carry. Mr. Bryan is yielding to the pres sure of his party rather than to his own inclination. The Haskell affair merely shows once more how unreliable Mr. Bryaii is In his judgment of men, how uncer tain he is In making his alliances. As for Mr. Haskell his presence as an officer of the national committee became politically intolerable after the Hearst dis closures. He had to go, no matter whdther the chargea lodged agaiost him wer true or false; no matter whether some of them were true and some of them, falae. He gives a perfectly plausible reason for bis resignation when he says he will need all his time to disprove the attacks made on him. Shifty Mr. Bryan. Philadelphia Ledger lnd ).

Richard Olney, ill ills letter advocaliug Bryan's electicn, declares that the coun try Is "pining for a rest," and that Mr. Bryan's success "will do much toward bringing to their tenses tlin ultra-radical elements of both parties." Mr. Bryan him self, In his telegram to the presldi-nt, ways : I have advocated more radical measures against private monopolies than cither you or your party associates have been willing to undertake." If Mr. Bryan is right, Mr. Olney is wrong. The t.um work of the democratic leaders is rugged, as usual. LAltiltlMl UAH, X'i-;,....
