In his post-election tatoment Mr.
Bryan concludes his explanation of his
third defeat for the presidency with
this allusion to the resumption of dem
ocratic control In Nebraska:
With a democratic governor and a demo
cratic legislature, wo ihall bo able to put
Into practice o much of the Denver plat
form as relate to state legislation and I
trust our itat will act an example that
will be an Influence for good In the nation.
This means that If Mr. Bryan has his
way and the Incoming state officers and
, . , . . . . x.
lawmakers let him direct them, iNe-
braska is to become the legislative ex
periment station for ' all the newly
coined vagaries whose advocacy
brought about his repudiation by the
country.
There is scarcely a demand In the
Denver platform proposing a radical
Innovation that cannot be made of
state application, although no other
state,- even though under democratic
control, would undertake to write
these discredited proposals on its
statute books.
Out of patriotic loyalty to Nebraska
The Bee boldly expresses the hope that
Mr. Bryan's plan to make Nebraska an
!xperimental legislative Btatlon may
not be carried out. We do not want
to see the BO per cent trust remedy
tried on Nebraska's business undertak
ings. We prefer to let Oklahoma demon
strate the bank deposit guaranty a lit
tle longer and to wait for the promised
postal savings bank that should pro
vide all the guaranty necessary for
savings depositors. We prefer to let
congress take the lead on revising the
procedure of the federal courts and
then have the procedure in our state
courts made to conform.
A few things may be found in the
Denver platform adaptable to state
legislation that would constitute com
mendable steps in the direction of re
form, but most of these have already
been given us in Nebraska by the pres
ent republican administration, and all
the democrats can do is to hold fast to
them and perfect them where they
have developed weak spots.
If they go farther and press Ne
braska into service as an object lesson
to vindicate all the fantastic remedies
prescribed by Dr. Bryan for the body
politic, the poor patient that has to
swallow tu") dose and, also foot the
bills will be entitled to sympathy.
THE COAL SUPPLT.
Reports of snow-blockaded trains in
the northwest recalls the coal famine
of last winter, with its consequent suf
fering for thousands of persons, and
directs attention to reports indicating
that the coal supply in the bins of the
dealers of the country is far from
sufficient to meet the demands, should
a rigorous winter set In. For once
the railroads cannot be blamed for this
situation.
Early last summer, when the side
tracks of the country were congested
with idle cars, the railroads scattered
circulars throughout the west and
northwest warning the peope that then
was the time to buy coal and predict
ing a car shortage in the fall and early
winter months. Agents of the roads
supplemented this appeal by personal
visits and dealers were urged to make
proper provision for the winter's fuel
supply. Times were hard, however,
and the winter's coal supply, which
usually moves to the west and north
west in July and August, is only now
fairly on tho way. Consumers re
fused to heed the warnings of the rail
road companies and dealers, without
orders from consumers, bought spar
ingly, with . the result that reports
show that there is less coal in the west
and northwest than there was at this
time a year ago
Under the circumstances about the
only thing left is to hope for continued
pleasant weather in order to give the
railroads time to perform now a Berv
ice they were anxious to perform In
the dull summer months. It a fuel
famine does comes, as we hope It will
not, the consumers will have to blame
themselves and the retail dealers, in
stead of the railroads
. AMERICAS LEGATION HOUSES.
Mr. Henry White, the American am
bassador to France, has added the
weight of his opinion to the movement
now being urged upon congress in fa
vor of regular legation houses for all
our ambassadors and ministers, to be
owned and maintained by the United
States government. Air. White says
that until some provision of this kind
Is made it will be that our American
diplomats must be rich men, In order
to maintain their standing among the
diplomats of other powers.
The problem has been before con
gress many times, but there has been
a lack of public sentiment or public
interest back of it. Unquestionably
the public underestimates the import
ance of both the diplomatic and the
consular services, which are made prac
tically the most Important features of
the governments in other countries
Americans have been too much dis
posed to look upon the diplomatic
service as political or ornamental, with
out giving proper consideration of the
service It performs In affairs that at
feet the material interests of the coun
try.
American diplomats are placed at
disadvantage, too, by reason of being
required to furnish their own resi
dences in tke capitals to w hich- they
have been accredited. Nearly every
other country, even some of the toy
republics, maintain legation houses for
tho ambassadors and diplomats and
the officials in foreign countries have
difficulty In understanding why the
United States should expect and re
quire its representatives to do bo un
dignified a thing as to lire in rented
houses. Ambassador White tells that
when the American flag was run up at
halt mast, on the death of ex-Presl-
dent Cleveland, other tenants of the
building occupied by the American em
bassy at Paris objected and he was
forced to haul down the flag. If the
United States had owned the house
there would have been no such em
barrassment. Mr. White also explains
that the ambassadors are required to
live on a scale in keeping with the
dignity of their positions and that un
less a man has a private fortune he
can not afford to accept a diplomatic
post under the American government.
The question Is one that should re
ceive the attention of congress. There
is no occasion for making appropria
tions to build palaces or enable am
bassadors to entertain on a lavish scale
at the expense of the government, but
there seems to be reason for some pro
vision for the betterment of housing
conditions of our diplomats abroad.
ritOURESS IX RUSSIA.
The spirit of civil liberty and rep
resentative government has apparently
made more progress in Russia in the
last few years than is generally sup
posed. The world, more or loss fa
miliar with the despotic methods of
Russian government and the brlttle
ness of imperial promises of reform,
has, it begins to appear, placed too lit
tle credence in reports of the growing
Influence of the Douma and the forces
that have been demanding the curtail
ing of the powers of Russian bureau
cracy. The czar has dissolved a cou
ple of the Doumas, but with each new
election the. spirit of renresentative
government has shown Increased power
and the way now se?ins to be open for
even greater reforms.
When the Russian premier, a few
days since, was asked in London what
were the further plans of his govern
ment in relation to the Balkan situa
tion, he replied that no formal an
nouncement could be made until after
the reassembling of the Douma. On
the heels of that statement the Rus
sian minister of finance appears with
the announcement that he can make
no detailed estimate of the financial
eeds of the government nor of the
government's policy in the matter "of
sx assessment n.nt! expenditures and
loans until the Douma has been con
sulted. The Russian minister of ma
rine has formally stated that the pro
gram for rebuilding the Russian navy
cannot be determined until the Douma
has been consulted. Add to this the
fact that within six months several
members of the Imperial family, high
in military rank, have been dismissed
because of the criticism passed upon
them by the Douma and it becomes
evident that representative government
in Russia has come to stay.
Czar Nicholas appreciates the situa
tion and his recall of Count Wltte to
a position of trust is evidence of his
conviction that the apparently impreg
nable defenses of autocracy has been
broken and that the imperial authori
ties must now heed the public opinion
that is expressed through the Douma.
The czar is learning that the stability
of any government of modern times
can be secured only through the as
sent and approval of the people. The
obviously growing strength of the rep
resentative principle in the vast Rus
slan empire is one of the triumphs of
civil liberty and progress notable in
recent world history.
SCHOOLBOYS IX REVOLT.
The boys of the Pueblo high school
have armed themselves with the most
effective weapon of ridicule in an ef
fort to persuade the school board that
it is making a serious mistake in re
fusing them permission to have a rep
resentative foot ball team. The boys
first appealed to the board without re
suit and then adopted the other plan
of warfare. '
When school opened last Friday the
pupils came prepared for a sissy sea
slon, all dressed as little children of
the kindergarten type. The big boys
wore knickerbockers and shirtwaists,
with flaring big bows, and they carried
their tops and marbles. The girls,
who have entered into the spirit of the
revolt, wore their hair in beribboned
pigtails and brought their dollies and
their Teddy bears. At recess the boys
played tit-tat-toe and spun their tops,
while the girls had a dollies' tea party,
The teachers wilted at noon and dis
missed school for the rest of the day.
It remains to be, seen what effect
this exhibition of mollyeoddleism by
the big boys and girls will have on the
school board, but it is safe to predict
that the exhibition will be more effec
tive than any strike or noisy protest
usually resorted to In such cases.
VLIMST BUILDIXO COX8TRUCTIOX
The carelessness, or lack of precau
tion, of Americans In their building
methods is demonstrated in a striking
manner by F. W. Fitzpatrick in' an
article in the American magazine, in
which comparisons are made between
the fire losses in this country and In
Europe. The record shows that the
cost of fire, of actual combustion, aside
from Incidental expenses and losses, in
this country amounts to a tax of $2.30
per capita, as against an average cor
responding tax of 33 cents per capita
in all Europe. The average loss In
253 American cities Is $3.10 per cap
ita, while the average In sixty-one Eu
ropean cities is 60 cents. Europe has
.86 fires per 1,000 of the population
each year, while the United States has
4.05.
In the whole of the British kingdom
last year there were but thirty-five
fires in which the loss exceeded $50
000. lit New York alone last yea
there were 3,84 3 fires, with a total
loss of $7,568,866. The fire loss 1
Rome for the year was but $56,000.
The explanation of tho difference la
not difficult. In Europe they have al
ways used less combustible material
In construction than have we; wood
has been less plentiful and they have
been more careful. In this country,
when lumber was "dirt cheap." bal
loon frames were run up, and even
later, when - lumber becamo more
scarce, it was used liberally in parti
tions, stairways and for flooring, mak
ing the work of destruction by lire very
simple. The country is paying the
penalty by losing more by fires each
year than Is derived from any one
source of revenue. The remedy,
which suggests Itself, is better ma
terial in construction and more
stringent building regulations.
THE XEXT CESSUS.
Preparations for the taking of the
thirteenth census are now being made,
although reports of the twelfth census
are still coming in. The taking of each
census is naturally a greater task than
its predecessor and there is apparently
no limit to the features that may be
Incorporated in this national inquiry.
The census bureau is now a perma
nent institution, giving employment to
000 clerks who are engaged all the
time in making new investigations and
new compilations along the various
nes of activity, instead of making one
general investigation and report every
ten years. It is estimated that the
census will cost about $14,000,000, of
bich about $1,500,000 is required
for the permanent work of the bureau.
The greatest progress has been made
n providing electrical equipment, add
ng machines and other inventions de
igned to hasten the work of making
the compilations and It is promised
that the returns of the census of 1910
will be announced much more
promptly than ever before.
One danger of the existing system is
the prospect that the demand for data
on all conceivable subjects will lead
the bureau to make its reports so
oluminous that the value of them may
be lost. The need, in addition to the
etalled data, is for a series of ab
stracts on population, vital statistics,
manufacturing and such topics that
will be valuable for reference and
easily accessible.
TIIE KAISERS' FLAW TALK.
One might infer from the tone of
the recent interview of Emperor Wil
liam that a campaign was on between
England and Germany for the election
a ruler of Germany. Kaiser Wil
liam has been protesting for some
years that he desires universal peace
and Is really friendly to the English
people for several reasons, one of
which is that his esteemed uncle now
happens to be England's king, but he
admits that he gets frightfully tired of
the persistent efforts of certain sec
tions of the British press and people
to stir up feeling against Germany and
the German people. In the interview
in question, Emperor William said:
You English are as mad, mad, mad as
March hares. What has come over you
that you are completely given over to
usplclons that are quite unworthy of a
great nation? What more can I do than
have done? I declared with all the em
phasis at my command In. my speech at
the Oulldhall that my heart was set upon
peace and that It was one of my dearest
wishes to live on the best terms with Kng-
land. Have I ever been false to my word?
Falsehood and prevarication are alien to
my nature. My actions ought to apeak
for themselves, but you will not listen to
them, but to those who misinterpret and
distort them.
This Is a personal Insult which I resent;
to be forever misjudged, to have my re
peated offers of friendship weighed and
scrutinized with jealous, mistrustful eyes
taxes my patience severely. I have said
time after time that I am a friend of
England, and your press, or at least a con
siderable section of it, bids the people of
England to refuse my proffered hand and
Insinuates that the other hand holds a
dagger.' How can I convince a nation
against its will?
Then, very much after the example
recently set in American politics, the
emperor went on to quote his record
in support of his assertions. He
showed that he had been England's
friend in the Boer war; had refused
to enter attractive European alliances
against England, and had, in all the
political complications of European
politics, stood by Great Britain, even
when German interests might have
been promoted by another course.
In American political parlance, the
emperor seems to have caught his
British opponents with the goods and
his criticisms may be pardoned as
coming from a monarch worn to the
raw by his failure to placate British
opinion and win British friendship.
While the tone of his remarkB is cal
culated to inflame rather than soothe,
he apparently has much justification in
feeling indignant and expressing him
self with frankness.
The result of the emperor's inter
view might be serious if there were
not a comedy side to it. Naturally,
when such a document from such an
authority becomes public, an explana
tion must be made and a scapegoat
found. In this case Chancellor von
Buelow appears to be the goat. The
emperor admits that he felt the docu
ment was pretty strong and so sent it
to his chancellor to be revised before
being printed. Von Buelow either felt
that the emperor had not done more
than he should or else failed to read
it, for he allowed the interview to go
lo the public without the changing of
a word or letter. Europe, Asia and a
few scattering precincts in Africa are
In an uproar over the interview and,
as Emperor William can do no wrong
ven Buelow Is booked for a very busy
time of it when the Reichstag meets.

We have too much of a tendency today
to rush a law for remedies for existing
evils, tho evils that are based upon ques
tions of Individual narrow-mindedness, of
Individual evil, or of the Individual lack
of this or that virtue. We are too apt to
pass laws, and tho moment a law Is
passed to Bay this or that evil has been
exterminated and wiped out, while we
know as a matter of fact, that It Is not
the passing of the law alone that can
remedy an evil, and the more laws you
pass that are not enforced tho more you
are apt to lessen the respect which the
people pay to them, and the less you are
apt to Improve their natural moral tone.
PLANMXi TO EVAUK LAW!.

It is tho plan of certain of the trusts,
particularly tho so-called dressed meat
trust, according to the New York Journal
of Commerce, to seek Incorporation in
some foreign country. Tho scheme Is to
form a parent company with offices In
London or some other brltlsh city, and to
have the various companies transacting
business In the different states entirely
Independent of one another. These compa
nies would then report direct to the home
office abroad and all correspondence and
accounts would be kept there." As most
of the evidence obtained In recent trust
prosecutions has come from tho books or
othnr records of these eono". It Is
thought that this plan would render them
proof against conviction. It would seem as
thoi.gh ways enough might be found to
circumvent them in any such extreme at
tempt to evade tho Jaws and establish
monopoly In spite of law. We may be
sure some way would be found.

Until the tragedy of the death of the
last of his children, who was killed by
the cars Just before the Inauguration.
Pierce was the most light-hearted of all
the men who had been elected to the pres
idency along to his day. Garfield was
Inclined to be frolicsome, but. like Tierce,
trouble beset him on the threshold of
the White House, though of a different
kind, and darkened the remaining month
of his life. "Don't worry about me,"
exclaimed Mr. Roosevelt, Just as he
was starting for Oyster Bay a few
months " ago, after one of the most
tempestuous sessions of congress which
has come since Johnson's day-". "I've
had a perfectly corking time!" After
such an experience as he had gone
through In the preceding half a year,
no other one of our twenty-five presi
dents would have felt that way. In
the boisterous sports at Sagamore Hill
during his recent vacation he was easily
the most tumultuous figure.
Amid the distractions of office no
other great statesman of the last quarter
of a century, with the possible exception
of Gladstone, has kept his enthusiasm
so fresh and active as has Mr. Roose
velt. In spirit, even more than In years,
he has been from the beginning the
youngest of our presidents. Now cele
brating his birthday at the age of 50, and
on the eve of retirement from office,
life has a far keener Interest for him
than It has for the average man at 20.

O night, send up the harvest moon
To walk about the fields,
And make of midnight magic nion
On lonely aurns and wealds.
In aolden ranks, with golden crowns
All in the yellow land.
Old solemn kings In rustling gowns,
The sheaves, moon-charmed stand.
fiky-mlrror she, afloat In space,
Beholds our coming morn:
Her heavenly Joy hath such a grace,
It ilpenB earthly corn.
Like some lone saint, with upward eyes,
Ixst In the deeps of prayer;
The people still their prayers and sighs,
And gazing, ripen there.
II.
So, like the corn, moon-ripened last.
Would I, weary and gray.
On golden memories ripen fast.
And ripening pass sway.
In an old night so let me t'le;
A slow wind out of doors;
A waning moon, low In the sky;
A vapor on the moors.
A fire Just dying In the gloom;
Earth haunted all with dreams)
A sound of waters In the rooui
A. mirror's moony gleams.
And near me, in the sinking night,
wire thoughts than move in me
Forgiving wrong, and loving right,
And waiting till I see.
