In Oregon the candidates for the
legislature on all the tickets signed an

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

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.

President Roosevelt hae rendered a serv

Here In this land of religious liberty and
of separation of church and stale all are

When the voters are choosing candidates

religious belief.
Bigotry Is slavery. American institutions

An acuta catarrh, that is a cold, is always

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.

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.

SURGICAL POSSIBILITIES.
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.

Oh, ther ain't no place like Nebrasky
Fer golden autumn days; .

An' sets yer thought ablaze;
The rollin' landscape bathed In light
Beneath that vast blue dome
Jest makes you thank yer lucky star
Nebrasky 1s yer home.
Ther' ain't no place like Nebrasky
On a crisp, old winter morn, . -When
the chlcsVa-dee reassures us
That the woods are not forlorn;
When the sun from the mists of the rive
Emerges a ball of flame,
Oh. ther's Jest one spot worth llvln" to
Nebrasky is its name.
Ther" ain't no place like Nebrasky
Fer seductive days of spring,
When the meaderlarks are bubblln'
Too sweet fer anything;
When the seed is sown in the furrow.
When the saplings chant in the breex
I'm so thankful I live In Nebrasky
I git limber In my knees.
Ther' ain't no place like Nebrasky
When the sun gits spankln' hot;
When the clay banks blossom-with rosea
The place Is one big beauty spot;
When the vines climb high on the trelllt
And the birds flit hither and yon,
Oh, of all earth's fairest places
Nebrasky's the fairest one.
No. ther' ain't nj place like NobraBky
To fill yer heart with cheer
When the sun hangs low o'er the orchardi
In the falltlme of the year;
When the. frosty mornln's nip yer cheeks
An' accelerate yer. gait.
Thank yer stars yer In Nebrasky,
