77IB CtOSE RAXQE ISSUE.
The closer we Ret to the coming elec
tion the plainer we can nee that the
outcome inuat bo a vote of approval or
disapproval of the Roosevelt adminis
tration under which the country baa
enjoyed such unprecedented prosperity
and made aurh marveloua atepa for
ward In the path of political reform.
Here in Nebraska we will have at
the same time a vote of approval or
disapproval of the splendid record of
achievement made by Governor Shel-
Ire upon which they had been elected.
We have all signified our approval
of the magnificent work accomplished
by President Roosevelt as It was
brought about and we likewise regis
tered almost unanimous approval of
the reform legislation enacted by our
republican law-makers at the time
each measure was signed by Governor
Sheldon. Those evidences of approval,
however, will count for little unless
they are registered anew by a vote of
confidence at the ballot box In Novem
ber. ,
Think for a moment what a vote Cf
disapproval would mean. It would
mean popular repudiation of the
square deal laws laboriously put
through congress by President Roose
velt and his associates over the des
perate opposition of the entrenched
corporations. It would Indicate pop
ular Indifference to the vigorous en
forcement of the law under direction
of 4 he president against all violators
and public plunderers. Such a vote
of disapproval would naturally at once
revive the flagging spirits of corpora
tion lobbyists put to rout, and bring
them back on the scene for renewed
activity.
A vote of disapproval of the work
of Governor Sheldon and the repub
lican legislature In Nebraska would
be taken to mean that the people of
this state cared nothing for faithful
fulfillment of pledges. It would be
taken to mean that they set little or
no value on the anti-pass law, the di
rect primary law, the employers' lia
bility law, the law removing the 3,000
'leath damage limit, the pure food law,
the railrcad rate reduction laws and
all the other long demanded reforms
secured only at the hands of the last
republican legislature.
If such a record of achievement and
devotion to public duty In state and
nation cannot command a vote of ap
proval from the people of Nebraska,
then there will be no incentive here
after for any political party to live up
to Its pledges or for any well-meaning
officer to stand up for the people as
against insidious public enemies.
rEXSlOXS AXD DL'TT.
Judge Hiram R. Steele of Brooklyn
has raised an interesting question by
asking whether he should accept the
pension he Is drawing from the gov
ernment when he is not dependent
upon the pension for his maintenance.
He served his country throughout the
war, was wounded and Is drawing a
pension $12 a month. In discussing
his case the New 'York Times says:
Judge Steele should return his pension
money. Veterans of the war who do
not need the pension money the law gives
them should return it to the treasury, In
order, either that the enormous annual ex
penditure for pensions may be reduced, or
that the monthly pittance of those who, by
reason of poverty and disablement do need
the money, may be thereby Increased.
The New York Times takes, we are
convinced, a narrow and commercial
view of the question. In the better
sense, the pension Is less a pittance
for Immediate and pressing needs than
it is a recognition of service. Even
taking the Times' view and measuring
the dollars and cents phase, Judge
Steele is Justified In accepting the pen
sion, although he does not need the
money, as a compensation for the time
he lost while fighting for his flag. But,
better than that, his pension is a for
mal acknowledgement of his record as
a soldier, a source of pride to his fam
ily and hla heirs, a proof of his right
to his place on the greatest roll of
honor ever made in thU or any other
nation.
Should Judge Steele or any others
of the thousands who are drawing pen
sions that they do not need for their
immediate support feel any qualms of
conscience over accepting the money
they may still enjoy their pride in be
ing on the nation's honor roll and use
the sordid dollars to relieve the press
ing needs of their comrades and their
dependents who are not so well sup
plied with this world's goods. It
would be Interesting to know how
many prosperous veterans of the war
already use their pensions In this way.
No man who served his country in tlm
of war should hesitate to accept his
country's rero?rlt1rn cf Ms services.
PACKERS AXD PURE FOOD.
President Roosevelt muat havo
taken real pleasure in reading the re
port of the proceedings of the conven
tion of the American Meat Packers'
association at Chicago the other day
when this resolution, recommended by
the executive committee, was adopted
without a dissenting vote:
That this association should heartily en
dorse the meat Inspection and pure food
laws. Any measure which tenda to fur
ther guarantee ths hsalthf ulusw of ths
products, when properly ad ntnlstered,
should and does receive our loyal sup
port. It will be recalled that when the ex
pose of conditions in some of the pack
ing houses of the country were made
the subject of a congressional inquiry
a few years ago. President Roosevelt
was charged with an attempt to de
stroy prosperity, confiscate property
and Injure business because he took a
decidedly radical stand on the ques
tion. Many conservative friends of
the president still believe that the re
form he accomplished could have been
brought about by leas sensational
methods, but all, the packers Included,
now agree that his action gave stabil
ity to legitimate business by stopping
abuses that were damaging the reputa
tion of the entire packing interests.
Proof of the beneficial results of
the adoption of the pure food and In
spection laws by congress has been
furnished by foreign authorities, who
were loudest In their denunciations of
American meats when the expose was
made In congress. An official British
commission has Just completed an In
spection of the meats packed In tins
and glasses and offered for sale on the
English markets. The commission
makes the gratifying report that such
foods as were packed in the United
States were far purer and more
wholesome and contained far less of
preservatives than similar foods of
British origin. As a result of this re
port, the strong prejudice which was
raised against American meat products
in Europe, when the packing house in
vestigation was on, has been prac
tically removed and the American
brands are becoming more than ever
popular abroad. The trade will doubt
less soon be back to its old standard
and become better than ever as the
knowledge of this country's rigid en
forcement of Its pure food and Inspec
tion laws Is spread among foreign con
sumers.
GROUT OF WELFARE WORK.
William Menkel has a most Interest
ing article in the current Review of
Reviews on "Welfare Work on Ameri
can Railroads," in which he reviews
the advantages of such movements,
not only to the men Interested In them,
but in a financial sense to the railroad
corporations. Incidentally, the writer
pays the railroad corporations a tribute
for their enthusiastic support ot all
movements that have for their purpose
the advancement of the welfare of
their employes. He declares that rail
road managers who have given thought
to the question are liberal in their
recommendations of expenditures for
the maintenance of such institutions.
Some of them frankly admit that they
are not Inspired by philanthropic mo
tives, but look upon such institutions
as a good business Investment.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion Is an easy leader In this work
among railway men. The association
now has 174 branches among railway
men, with a membership ot 93,000 and
buildings valued at 3.500,000. The
largest and finest of these buildings is
that at St. Louis, donated by Miss
Helen Gould and built at a cost of
$250,000. There are forty such asso
ciations on the New York Central
alone. The railroads generally make
contributions for the buildings, while
the management of them Is entirely In
the hands of the associations.
In addition to the Young Men's
Christian association work, some of the
railroads have established "night high
schools" at division points, where their
employes may pursue a course of
study. Others have established hos
pitals, savings and Investment concerns
for the benefit of employes, reading
and rest rooms and other plans for
adding to the comfort and advance
ment of their employes. The purpose
of all ot the movements is essentially
the same. They seek to fc-ive their
employes, who by reason of their work
have Irregular hours, the advantages
of the home and the club.
Wh'le this class of work is not car
ried on by all railroads. It is develop
ing end all of it tends to a betterment
of the service, the promotion of lieUer
feelings between employer and em
ployed and general promotion of the
public's Interest In many ways.
NO LOSS TO DEPOSITORS.
In the four months following the be
ginning of the financial depression last
October there were fifteen bank fail
ures In the city of New York. The
financial Institutions that closed their
doors as a result ot the panic held
$95,151,000 In deposits. Ot the con
cerns thus embarrassed three were
national banks, eight were state banks
and four were trust companies. Ten
of the fifteen Institutions have been re
opened and the record shows that no
depositor in any of the fifteen financial
concerns lost one cent. Every dollar
due depositors has been returned. In
one of the trust companies Involved
there were deposits aggregating $49,
000,000. The president committed sui
cide, but the company has met all
claims, possesses a wide degree of con
fidence and promises to become
stronger than ever before. Five of the
failed institutions have been perma
nently closed, but all claims against
them have been paid in full.
The net result has strengthened the
national and state banks of New York
in the eyes ot the depositors and has
done much to convince the people that
sate and sane banking needs no addi
tional legislative protection. In the
forty-seven years that the national
banks have been in operation the loss
to depositors has been a trifle less than
one-twenty-ninth of 1 per cent.
DISTRIBUTIXO THE ALIEXS.
The North American Civic league
has undertaken a highly important
work by forming an organization and
outlining a systematic plan for the bet
ter distribution ot Immigrants upon
their arrival in this country. The pur
pose of the league Is charitable, in a
way, but much more Important as a
patriotic effort for the benefit, not
only of aliens, but of ths entire public.
According to the league plans, it is
proposed to have data collected at a
central headquarters from all parts ot
ths country. This information will
show the demand for workmen, the
class of work to be performed, the
preference in nationalities, if any, the
school and church facilities and all In
formation obtainable tbat may be used
for the guidance of ths Immigrants
and those charted with the duties of
providing employment for them. It Is
believed that the proper use of this in
formation will aid materially In the
assimilation of these Immigrants, dis
tributing them throughout the country
and preventing their congestion In the
large cities where their presence In
such numbers is a constant source of
trouble.
The Bureau ot Immigration at
Washington Is aiding In this work and
help may be furnished by state of
ficials generally In furnishing the data
required by the league. Th movement
merits encouragement, promising, as
it does, to do much toward the real
solution of the ever-present immigra
tion problem.
THE umXESE COXST1TUTIOX.
The ferment of progress which has
been working In China since that na
tion's war with Japan, fourteen years
ago, has culminated In an imperial ele
ctee establishing a constitutional ft rm
of government to become effective In
nine yesrs. The experiment will be
watched with interest by the civilized
world, marking, as it does, tho first
long step toward the "awakening of
China," which has been predicted and
expected for generations.
The form of the new constitution, as
published by the order of the dowager
empress, shows that China, a nation
that was old before the birth ot any
modern nation, has been taking advan
tage of the experience f all nations
In their experiments with constitu
tional government. It establishes an
appointive parliament, to be succeeded
on its dissolution by a parliament to
be elected by the people. It guaran
tees free speech and the freedom of
the press; provides for the protection
of life, liberty and property and goes
into many details relating to the man
ner of managing and operating public
utilities. The monarchy, however, Is
to be made perpetual. In the pic
turesque language of the proclama
tion, "The Ta Chlng emperor will rule
supreme over the Ta Chlng empire for
one thousand generations In succes
sion and be honored forever."
Constitutional government for China
comes as the result of the work of the
commission sent out In 1906 to "study
the institutions of civilized countries,
east and west," and to report upon the
adoption of such as were deemed de
sirable. The commission reported
that the wealthiest and strongest na
tions of the world were those that were
governed by constitutions and H Inci
dentally called attention to the fact
that China was the only great nation
that was not so governed. The report
met with instant approval by the
leaders in the Chinese reform move
ment and China appears to have taken
at one leap an advance that has been
the growth of a hundred years with
other European countries.
Americans who have been born and
reared under a government that guar
antees free speech, a free press, trial
by Jury, protection of life and property
and reign by law can hardly appreciate
what the adoption of a constitution
means to the Chinese, where for un
told ages the rule of the emperor has
been absolute. The mere introduction
of the ballot box into China opens the
way for a tremendous era of patriotic
development which will be welcomed
and encouraged by all civilization.
FOOD CVXTROL PROBLEMS.
Federal authorities are experiencing
considerable difficulty in enforcing the
pure food law, due to the activity of
affected interests in bringing expert
testimony In support of their methods
of using materials in manufactures
that have been declared unwholesome
by the federal chemists. President
Roosevelt has sought to overcome this
qbstacle in the way ot pure food law
enforcement by the appointment of a
board of chemists to whom disputed
questions shall be referred. One result
of this has been a requent for reference
to this board of almost every question
that has arisen in protest ot enforce
ment of the law.
Just now the board of referee chem
ists is wrestling with the sulphate ot
copper question. The experts of the
Department of Agriculture have de
clared that this chemical, used In
coloring and preserving certain vege
tables and canned goods preparations,
is injurious to health. The manufac
turers have appealed from the decision,
and are offering expert testimony in
support of their contentions. The di
versity of the issues and the urgency
with which appeals are demanded in
dicate that there is special reason for
the existence of this board and em
phasize the Importance of getting
prompt decisions from it.
The danger ot loading up this board
with appeals, thus delaying the en
forcement of the pure food regulations.
Is apparent It is important tbat ques
tions relating to the use of sulphate
of copper, borax, benzoate of soda and
other colorings or preservatives should
be decided, not only for the benefit of
the consumers, but also for the benefit
of the manufacturers whose plans for
next season's packing may be altered
very materially by the board's decision.
The entire country has a keen interest
in the enforcement of the federal food
and drugs law and wl!'. resent any ac
tion on the part of manufacturers that
Is calculated to obstruct or retard
compliance with the provisions of the
measure. Manufacturers affected by
the law have had about two years in
which to readjust their methods and if
they have not done so, the fault Is
theirs and the loss must be borne by
them. Injured manufacturers have a
right, under the law, to appeal to the
courts. In full Justice to them, decis
ions on mooted questions should be
made promptly by th referee chemists
and tho way paved for full enforce
ment of the law as it Is finally construed.
Editor VanDeusen Of the Blair Pilot
serves notice on The Pee that he did
not buy the reputation of that paper
when he bought Its type and presses,
and asks that this paper set him right
before the public. He says he Is sup
porting the republican ticket, with tho
exception of one cf the candidates for
the legislature, and that he Is especially
deslrout Of seeing A. W. Jefferls
elected to congress. The Bee cheer
fully makes amends to EJItor Van
Deusen and hopes he will be given full
opportunity to rejoice over the elec
tion, not only of Mr. Jefferls. but of all
republicans who have his support. And.
as the one who hasn't has forfeited It
only by refusing to declare himself
as being In favor of county option,
The Bee hepes he will be elected too.

The nation as a whole could not be
charged with sordldness If It should allow
the determining factor of the presidential
election to be the promotion of business.
There are other considerations, of course,
but not one of them operates against Mr.
Taft, and certainly the business considera
tion operates in his favor.
The election cf Mr. Taft would monn
business revival an acceleration of the ac
tivity now under wjy.
The election ot Mr. Bryan would, to say
the ieast. mean a period of uncertainty,
of waiting, and posilbly a year or two of
reaction and depression.
The country would know exactly what to

Mr. Bryan would be, in the largest and
most serious sense, an experiment.

THE GLAD DAY.
Finnie Siearns Davis in the Century.
I have not thought of sorrow
The whole clay long, nor now;
I wandered out, and, oh, what winds
La Hi kisses on my brow!
And all the world was kind to me,
Kaeh spear of grass was gay;
The brown brooks had a mind to me
And bang me on my way.
I conquered many a climbing road.
And always at tho crest
The winds of ail the world abode,
And shadows stopped to rest.
The hills like lazing gods of eld
With sleepv shoulders lay.
Ami all tho soaring vault upheld
Uf all the high blue day.
F.ir. far below the village splia
Pricked sharply to the sky,
"Strong paan hills of rny deslrel
Krail house of God!" thought 1.
Far, far below the river crept;
The willow leaves made stir
Of blowing silver, touched and swept
By Wind, wild lute player.
(The river wind a minstrel is.
A minstrel left and blind;
The willows know his finger's kiss
As strings tho player's mind.)
The sweet shorn fields, the fairy fern,
Tile roadside's g psy bloom.
Young goldenred oh, every turn
Was blitho with green and gloom I
I did not meet a single face
That would not smile at me;
PerhupB the sun a vast itolden grata
Set luve and laughter free.
The utaveston-s by the poplar tree
Full ratelessly I passed;
I thought that Denth himself must. ic
How sweet was Lite, at last.
And I came home at evening time,
And still my heart doth sing
Bo have I wrought this waveiing rhyme
For my remembering.
I have not thought of sorrow
The whole dav long, nor now;
God ntght. fair world! and oh, what furs
Weave splendor round my brow!
