' "Bill" Hohenzollern is apparently trying to get all the spotlight that was recently turned on two American "Bills."

V I The republican national victory ap- pears to have been construed into an order for everybody to go to work on full time. France Is not nearly so anxious to go to war with Germany as It might be If the French people did not have good memories. I As a candidate for vice presidential honors, John Temple Graves has shown that he is an editorial writer of marked ability. If Senator-elect Ransom Is to be del egated the duty of revising the city charter for Omaha the corporations will not lose any sleep. Incidentally It may be worth while noting that the speaker of the next na tional house of representatives will not be chosen before March, 1909.

In that case it would ap- P' that In addition to the moral force there is a political force, which, while It may not be recognized by the courts, Is certain to be recognized by the voters and will surely result disas trously to party members who refuse to recognize the mandate coming from the primary. In Oregon the candidates for the legislature on all the tickets signed an are6menl to support for United States senator me candidate wno received me highest primary vote. An overwhelm ing majority of republicans were chosen to the legislature while a healthy majority of the voters of the state favored Chamberlain, the demo- cratlo governor, for United States sen ator. The primary election and the election of state officers were held in September. In the November contest the republican national ticket carried by upwards of 25,000. This leaves the voters of Oregon in the paradoxical position of endorsing the Roosevelt policies and voting for Mr. Taft for president and at the same time pledging a republican legislature to send to the United States senate a democrat sure to work with his party In ODDOBlnK the renubllcan nolicles. The republicans, fortunately, have a BtT0Dg worklng majority In both branches of congress, but it is con ceivable that the Oregon plan might, in the case of a close margin In the senate, force democratic legislation where the people of the nation had voted for republican policies. THE FVTCRE OF DEMOCRACY. Eastern democrats, particularly those who lent protesting support to the party's candidates in the campaign Just closed, are already discussing the future of the organization, some of them even questioning whether the party will survive. The New York World, which reluctantly supported Mr. Bryan in the closing weeks of the campaign, not that it loved Bryan, but because it hated Roosevelt, declares that It has no illusions about the de fects of the democratic party as now organized, but hopes for life and re J u venation because there is nothing to take its place, should it pass away as did the whig party, when It was suc ceeded by the republican party. "The leaders of the new organization," says the World, "would not be Llncolns and Sewards and Greeleys,' but would be Hearsts and Debses and Watsons," and H adds dolefully, "if the democratic party dies, the Jefferson theory of gov- eminent dies with It." Mr. Hearst, a former shining light In the party councils. Is disposed to preach the funeral sermon. Dlscuss- Ing the election result, Mr. Hearst says: The (democratic) party la paralysed. It negative! Itself. Its Usefulness stops like an engine on centers. It hasn't enough strength lift to make Itself a party of re spectable opposition. The only solution Is to adjourn H sine die. During the progress of the cam paign, Chairman Norman E. Mack of the democratic national committee pre dicted that the major party defeated In 1908 would never again put an other candidate In the field. His pre diction was, of course, as wide as some he made on results, but it shows his appreciation of the sentiment prevail ing. In his own party that reorganiza tion or dissolution is inevitable. Dem ocrat! everywhere are realizing that there Is need -of a strong opposition P1"1? and that the Pre8ent democratic party does not supply the need. The birth of the republican party, half a century ago, supplied what was then most needed, an opposition party. I in the fourteen presidential elections I since then the democrats have elected three presidents, James Buchanan and Qrover Cleveland twice. The republl- Can popular majority in 1896 was 601,- 854. In 1900 It wa 2,545,515 and not far from 1,150,000 in this year's battle. A fairly even division of the people Into two great opposing parties is supposed to work for 'good govern ment. A strong opposition is the surest check against bad government by- the party In power. Tho first essential to the proposed democratic reorganization Is leader ship. The events of three campaigns has demonstrated that the reorganiza tion can not be effected under the leadership of Mr. Bryan. The east will not have him and the south does Dt wn Wm, however loyal support De may find among the democrats and populists of the west. The line has ap- parently been drawn and tho dlatlnc- Itl0n made between democracy and Bryantsm and they appear to be en- tirely different things. The old-line democrats, conservative and thor- oughly devoted to the principles of representative government, will have Ita assert ttuem elves it they succeed in saving their party from government ownership. Initiative and referendum and various fallacious financial vaga ries. A THEORT ty PRACTICE. Whenever the question was pro pounded why lawyers of first magni tude declined, as a rule, to enter Judi cial service in Nebraska we were told that It was because the salaries paid wero altogether Inadequate. On the surface this answer seemed quite plausible. Our judges all re ceived the same compensation whether sitting on the district bench or on the supreme bench, and this compensation at the rate of 2,500 a year was no more than an ordinarily industrious lawyer of fair ability could reasonably expect to earn In private practice. Considering the circumstances, our people have, perhaps, been fortunate In securing as high grade a legal tal ent on the bench as they have had dur ing recent years. Proceeding on the theory that Inad equate compensation explained the re luctance of experienced lawyers In good standing to take judicial posi tions, the people of Nebraska have just adopted an amendment to the constitu tion Increasing judicial salaries. The salary of a district judge has been in creased from 12,500 a year to $3,000 a year, being a raise of 20 per cent. The salary of supreme Judges has been increased from $2,500 a year to f 4,500 year, being almost double. The terms of judicial office remain the same at four years for district judges and six years for supreme Judges considerably longer than the usual official tenure in this state. It remains to be seen whether the theory that better salaries will give us better judges will work out in practice. The bigger salary will certainly be stronger temptation to the little law yers who could not possibly hope to build up a practice reaching those fig ures. But will they attract the bigger lawyers sufficiently to make them will ing to serve the public? In a word, we are about to have an object lesson on whether it is the money in the Ju dicial office alone that makes It a prize worth seeking. TARIFF REVISERS AT WORK. While there will probably bo no ef fort to enact any tariff legislation at the coming session, of the outgoing congress, the republican leaders have acted wisely in making plans for hear ings and for compiling data that will be of value to the new congress, which is to be called to grapple with the question in special session soon after March 4, 1909. Tariff legislation In evitably has a retarding Influence upon business. Manufacturers and Import ers naturally withhold orders and limit production in their lines until the schedules have been readjusted and the changes determined upon have been made. Tor this reason It Is par tlcularly desirable that the session to be devoted to the revision of the tariff shall be no longer than necessary. Mr. Taft and the congress elected with him are pledged to prompt action looking to a real revision of the tariff. Mr. Taft was the first of the republl can leaders .to make the tariff revision program an issue in the campaign President RooBevelt according to Washington advices, will not urge con gress to revise the tariff at the ap proaching regular session of congress, feeling that Mr. Taft should take full responsibility and credit for that work. The ways and means committee, now taking testimony on the tariff problem, has already prepared a digest of all court decisions Interpreting the tariff laws since 1833 and also a com parative statement showing the lm ports of each article affected by the tariff from 1894 to the present time. Data Is also being collected on the cost of manufacture, both at home and abroad. - In the meantime, a subcom mlttee of the senate committee on finance la In Besslon at Washington conducting a tariff Inquiry along cer tain lines, preparatory to co-operating with the ways and means committee when the Sixty-first congress takes up the work of revision. It Is probable that the extra sesBlon to be called by Mr. Taft will convene late in March. The special session at which the Dlngley law was passed met on March 15 and the bill was passed July 2 4, the work of preparation and discussion of the measure occupying more than four months. It ought to be possible to revise that law In sixty days. With much of the preliminary work out of the way, there should be little delay In effecting a satisfactory adjustment of the schedules In re sponse to the country's demands. Governor Magoon has Issued a proclamation to the people of Cuba admonishing all officials to observe the strictest impartiality between contend ing parties and candidates in order to Insure orderly and honest conduct of the coming election. Governor Ma goon must have been reading some of the resolutions passed by the Omaha police board on the eve of each recur ring election. According to the local democratic organ, a Hastings paper makes "sen sational charges" that two employes of the State Insane Asylum were let out because they voted the democratic ticket That ought to cinch their re instatement and retention with the forthcoming; democratic regime, but perhaps it is only a deep laid plot to keep two pretended republicans on the payroll. One of the Lincoln papers yawps about the delay In the official canvaaa of Douglas county election returns, covertly intimating that they are held back for a purpose, notwithstanding the fact that the Lancaster county returns are not yet In, either. In tho case of Douglas county it should be understood that nearly one-eighth of the rotes of the entire state are polled here and most be verified by a canvass ing board consisting of . three men. One ward in Omaha polls as many votes as most of the counties out In the state. The law for the collection and compilation of election returns needs revising, but the reason for It Is not to be found In Douglas county any more than In any other county. "The democrats of the state," says the Indianapolis News, "could hardly do a more graceful thing than to make Mr. Kern their candidate for senator. He conducted himself throughout the campaign with great dignity and dis tinction." Mr. JCern bore the loss of his railroad pass and the jibes at his paint brush whiskers with "great dig nity and distinction." The Society of the Army of the Ten nessee Is holding its annual reunion In St. Louis. The biggest thing about the Society of the Army of the Tennes see is our old friend. General O. M. Dodge of our neighboring city of Coun cil Bluffs. There is no more reason why mem bers of the Omaha Police board should resign with the advent of a democratic governor than there is why the mem bers of the South Omaha Police board should resign. In fact, there is no good reason at all. The Charleston News and Courier hazards the prediction that "Mr. Bryan will begin to advocate the government ownership of railways and try to lead the democratic party to favor it before 1912." It does not cost anything to make predictions. "Tell General Lee that I have fought my army to a frazzle" was the message sent by General Gordon to his chief Just before the surrender at Appomat tox. "Frazzle" is not, a new word and President Roosevelt did not offer it as such. The sworn statements of election expenses that are being filed by suc cessful and unsuccessful candidates In compliance with the Nebraska corrupt practices act testify anew to the elastic conscience of the average office-seeker. Mr. Roosevelt is going hunting In Africa. It would make big business for the telegraphic cable companies If Mr. Bryan could .be induced to go hunting in Asia, Tom Watson in India and Mr. Hearst In South America. "Tim" Woodruff of New York wants to go to the United States senate, hav Ing grown weary of being lieutenant governor and being "mentioned" for the vice presidential nomination every four years. :1 ' Business is picking ' up so rapidly since Mr. Taft's election that the demo crats who felt they would have to live for years on crow will be able to have turkey for Thanksgiving. "Onward and upward ever" is said to be President Roosevelt's motto. That explains why he Is going to be come an editor as soon as he gets out of the White House. The deposits In the Vermont sav ings banks have been Increased 13,000,000 In the last twelve months and the maple syrup crop is just be ginning to move. Two of a Kind. St Loula Republic. Peanuts may be successfully raised In Oklahoma, so that ' with what Governor Haskell has been raising- there the list Is now complete. Enough for I'reaent Needs. Baltimore American. It Is now certain that the republican ma jority in the next house of representatives will be forty-seven. That Is surely suffi cient for all practical uses. Political Retaliation. Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The liquor Interests helped defeat Gov ernor Sheldon of Nebraska, and now he Is retaliating with a call of the present legis lature Into extra seslon to pass a statewide prohibitory law which may be suspended by any county on a three-fifths vole. What this legislature may do in the matter, how ever, the next legislature can undo. Bigotry In Politics. Chicago News. President Roosevelt hae rendered a serv ice to the nation by his letter condemning efforts to thrust bigotry into politics. People of all nationalities and of all re ligious beliefs which In themselves are moral are welcome in the United States. Here In this land of religious liberty and of separation of church and stale all are supposed to dwell together in harmony. When the voters are choosing candidates for office the test should be efficiency, not religious belief. Bigotry Is slavery. American institutions are based on liberty.

BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE. Mlaor Scenes and Inrldenta Sketched a tha Spot. The first big event of the winter season scheduled 1n Washington Is the unveiling of the statue to General Phil Sheridan, which will occur November 26. There will be a large military display and President Roosevelt will speak. The statue stands In the center of Sheridan Circle, at the In tersection of Massachusetts avenue and Twenty-third street. It Is of heroic slxe; that is, a half slse larger than life, and represents the famous cavalryman on horseback. The pose chosen by the sculptor Is very spirited, the great soldier being shown In the act of reining up Ms horse at the end of his hlstorlo ride from Win chester. He holds his army cap In his right hand, acknowledging the salutes of tho oldicrs whom he has rallied, turning rout Into victory. The animal he bestrides, though still vigorous. Is evidently sweat ing and trembling with fatigue. The statue faces toward the city. On the low pedestal is no Inscription save the name Sheridan. The Idea of the platform. which has steps on all sides ana only a slight elevation, 1s that people shall be able to approach close to the bronxe rider. Thero are even stone benches on which they may sit down. Other statues in Wash ington are ao placed and elevated so high In the air that spectators can view them only from a distance of fifty feet or more. The great distinction gained by Sheridan during the civil war has led most people to suppose that he was a much older man than was In reality the case, if he were live today he would be only 77 years of age. He was appointed a brigadier gen eral in the regular army when he was but S3 and became a major general less than three months later It seems that the new postage stamps which Postmaster General Meyer Is about to Issue will be something in the nature of a restoration of an old d than an entirely new one. There Is occa sion for popular congratulation that the fine old Houdon profile of Washington, which is the best and most distinguished ever produced. Is to come back after five years of retirement to reoccupy the posi tion it held for half century. It goes back not only on the 2-cent stamp, but on the nine other higher demnominatlons, leaving the profile of Franklin on the 1-cent stamp, wnere it has remained from the first. Protest has been made to the United States government by an angry father In tne middle west who would have certain forms of advertising now In use In that part of the United States condemned and forbidden the malls. His complaint states that his son-in-law Is traveling in the far west. Last week a letter came for him addressed In a feminine hand. Opening It, his wife readi "Dearest: After you left me yesterday 1 remem bered that I had forgotten to tell you to" After reading this far the wife went Into hysterics, and has not yet recovered her normal condition. Had ahe continued she would have found that the lpt ter urns an advertisement and that it told of the merits of a certain patent medicine. The govern ment can suggest no remedy. Two Washington women, Miss Ethel A. coirora and Miss Florence M. Onifnrd. twin sisters; were admitted to practice be fore the supreme court of the United States at the beginning of the present session. The Misses Colfcrd have been practicing law in this city for several years, and nave been assotlatd with their uncle, Clar ence Col ford. They were born In Hnlira Nova Scotia, but received much of their educatton here, xraduatlnsr from tha Con vent of the yisltation. Their legal studies were pursued at the AVaehlngton College ft Law, from which they graduated In iw as bachelors of law. The following year received a dearee of tnnittnr r,t u Last year George Washington university conierred upon each of them th degree or master of patent law. this hinr unique dirtinctlon, as they are the oely women Who hold that degree. Shortly after graduating from tha Wnah Ington College of Law they were admitted to practice before . the supreme court of the llatrlct of Columbia and court of ap peals. Four hundred thoisAnd pounds of speeches were printed for campaign pur poses at the government printing office during the campaign Just ended. This ag gregate means a total of 7.41S.70O copies of speeches that representatives and senators had printed for distribution among their constituents. These speeches, which aro reprinted generally, thouah freauentlv with amendments and additions, from the plates used In the Congressional Record, are paid for by the congressmen ordering the sup ply. Those used during the last campaign far exceed In bulk the records of former years. If collected they would have made about fourteen carloads, while the printed sheets, set edge to edge, wculd have cov ered about forty-five acres. PERSONAL NOTES. A correspondent writes that when Chinaman has his pigtail docked he gives a grand dinner. It's a sort of barber queue. The New York burglars who swiped $10, 000 worth of Jewelry, but left the wedding rings, displayed a depth of sentiment truly touching. Missouri's girl blacksmith, who Is sail to swing a 100-pound hammer, has Just been married. Proper consideration for the groom would have led the correspondent to knock a cipher off the weight of that hammer. Prof. Frederick Starr of tho University of Chicago told a class in archienlogy sev eral days ago that base ball was not n modern game. He said that the mound bull 'era were the original bull players, and that he had discovered their diamonds and found a bail used by them. He said he had been ublo to trace their ball fields In Illinois. WUconwin, Indiana and Ohio. Brcughton Brandenburg, the writer charged with larceny In connection with tho disputed Cleveland Interview, is up against a lot of trouble. II's bondsmen under the Cleveland charge hav given him up, and he has been ordered to pay his wife II! a week pending a decision on his application for divorce. A lenient New York magistrate, however, gave him a chance to earn the nn.ney. Dr. Charles L. Sliadwell of Oriel college, Oxford university, ICngland, was Introduced to Presided Roosevelt at the White House the other afternoon by the British ambas sador to the I'nited States. James Bryce.

What Scalpel Artist Can Do with the Hainan Body. New York Tribune. Wonderful things are being achieved by modern surgery, and the way man's Inter nal machinery can be removed while ha waits, polished up with sandpaper and put back with a few drops of oil where th friction comes cannot fall to impress the layman with th fact that, while he la fear fully and wonderfully made at the start, he Is still more so by the time he ha lived hla life and the surgeons hav finished adding to and taking from. Frequent dispatches have appeared In the papers relative to the manner In which reformation have been accomplished by surgical operations. A drunken thief, wa are told, by a simple twist of tha surgeon's wrist Is transformed Into a model man, who may, presumably, sit on a Jury and help send to prison some other unfortunate who lacks the facilities for reforming along modern lines. The atupld boy In school Is made bright, and the youth who plays hookey, Instead of being treated by the birch bough, as would have been the case half a century ago, la now bundled off to tha hospital and comes back with a code of morals which would make that of Con fucius look like the constitution signed by the mebers of a Black Hand organisation. Carried to its logical conclusion, this new development of surgery possesses still more wonderful possibilities. Whan we find an Individual whose management of a financial Institution la such as to give rise to the Impression that he con siders himself amenable only to higher law than those which his fellow men have placed on the statute books, wa have only to take a hammer and chisel and chop off that portion of bis brain which Is the cause of his moral obliquity.. If the management of a corporation In sists on getting more than Its share f the business of the country, while It may have no soul, It will be possible to gather together its collective cranlums and ex press them to the office of the expert, where the necessary convolutions or rather the unnecessary ones may be rubbed out or filed with parafflne. When a man Is found to possess that sort of disposition which leads him to ask bis wife, when she suggests the necessity of money, what eh did with the quarter he gave her last month, a telephonic call to headquarters will be promptly followed by the patient's metamorphosis Into a kind and indulgent husband. Thes considerations are sufficient to make clear the advantages of the new science over the old. But this Is not all. In years to oome it may be possible, when the members of a party find some Indi vidual possessed of a determination to run for office at th head of the ticket every four years, to call In the family surgeon to take out a few cogwheels and change the gearing to make him a call less Clnclnnatus. HUNDREDS OF ELDERLY FOLKS ARE GETTING RID OF KIDNEY TROUBLfc Simple Prescription Given and Full Directions to Prepare Mixture That th readers of this paper appreciate advice when given In good faith Is plainly demonstrated by the fact that one well known local pharmacy supplied the In gredients for tho "vegetable prescription" many times wtihlra the last two weeks.
