The president and many of the leaders of all political parties take the position that some combina tions are not only lawful but beneficial, and that the Sherman law should be amended so as to direct the prosecu tions under It against only combina tions that work to the general detri Judge Noyes, in commenting on the Tobacco trust case, said: - , It may be that the present anti-trust statute should be amended and made ap plicable only to those combinations which unreasonably restrain trade that It should draw a line between those combinations causes of failure and collapse of the Pal ma administration. While the outlook Is promising for the success of the new Cuban admin istration, many thoughtful Americans will wait for demonstration. If Cuba can get through a second presidential administration, it will be in position to consider Itself as possessing a stable government. Until that is done there will remain doubts in this country and abroad. If the small republic again proves Itself incapable of self-gorern-men.t, annexation would be inevitable, as the Vnlted States could not afford for a third time to let the islanders make the experiment of playing with their liberties and then throwing them away. WHEX DOES IT TAKE EFFECTt A number of interested parties are trying to start a discussion as to when the supreme court enlargement amend ment to the constitution", raUffed by the voters of Nebraska at the last elec tion, takes effect.

The man who purchases a revolver for the purpose of carrying it, tacitly admits his intention to use it, if occasion de mands. If his circumstances, business or environment furnish a reasonable excuse for his possession of such weapon he can have no objection to the fact of hla possession of such weapon being known. It he has no such good excuse, there is every reason why the police should know of his purchase of a weapon. Men who use murderous weapons change from place to place and weapons may be traded but the proposed plan would do much toward checking the abuse of pistol toting and furnish many clues to crimes. As long as deadly weapons must be Bold, every check on them should be employed.

Beaver City Times-Tribune: A republican member of the Nebraska legislature this winter will have an easy Job. All he will have to do will be to sit around, watch the democrats make history and draw his salary. - , Columbus Journal: The State Journal wants the next legislature to appropriate money to purchase land ln Lincoln and eiect homes thereon for instructors In the University of Nebraska. When It comes to demanding something for Lincoln the Journal la not at all modest. Beatrice Express: Labor Commissioner John Ryder has been such a giant force In the office which ha fills that the new gov ernor will find difficulty In supplying the vacancy with a man equaling him In ca pacity for work and good results. Mr. Ryder has made wonderful progress In his department and people generally know it. Valentine Republican: The vote of Cherry county ln 1907 was 1,(34. This year It was 1,211, a gain of S77 In the voting popula tion, which, multiplied by five, gives on increased population ln the county of 1.385 which can to a great degree be accredited to tha Kinkajd homestead law. This shows where Congressman Klnkald's friends are. Kearney Hub: It Is still unsettled as to who Is to get the prise mule presented to W. J. Bryan during the campaign by Minnesota friends and offered by him to the voting precinct In Nebraska showing the greatest democratic gain. A precinct In Kearney county first presented Its claim Elm Creek, In Buffalo county, was next In lle. and finally Bryan's own Fatrvle precinct got Into line, but the First wsrd In South Omaha, with a gain of 400 per cent, thinka it is entitled to tha donkey.

For the ensuing four months the ranks of reform by hot air In Nebraska will be de prived of the services of the distinguished leader and exemplar, James H. Edmlsten. n many former state and national cam paigns Mr. Edmlsten camped on the firing line, fighting for the plain people with xeal and devotion worthy of the cause. When victory perched on the populist banners and the pie counter was within reach he was Jlmmy-on-the-spot also, securing as his reward the post of state oil inspector. The glow of his enthusiasm for the plain people gave out "nary a blink," while the oil can lasted. In the nature of things. coupled with the perverrity of voters, the republicans rushed the can out of his grip, some eight years ago, and Mr. Edmlsten turned his talents to Nebraska land, the fertility of which commanded his esteem and admiration. Out In the North Platte land district. where every prospect pleases and only land grabbers are vile, Mr. Edmlsten observed how easily cattle kings and their Imitators Bcooped ln vast areas of territory for a song.' He noted how 'anxious Uncle Sam appeared to be to let go a good thing and he could hot stand by Idly while the myr midons of plutocracy gorged themselves with the wealth of the people. Not on your tintype. As a defender and protector of the masses against the greedy classes. Mr. Edmlsten Jumped Into the game and scooped ln a few sections for himself. Somehow and somewhere his wires became crossed with Uncle Sam's current and he received a severe shock when required to come Into court and explain how he caught on to tha land. The explanation did not satisfy a grand Jury, an Indictment was found against him, to which he pled guilty and received a slice of the penalties so frequently dealt out to land grabbers In the last four years. Mr. Edmlsten was chairman of the pop ulist state committee of Nebraska during the - campaign of 1900. As Mr. Bryan's champion in that memorable contest he displayed marvelous skill in forecasting al leged achemes republicans were putting up to wrest the state from the pops. It was In this fierce fury that Mr. Edmlsten'a Imag ination worked overtime and developed his varied talents as a man of letters. The first of the letters was drafted Just before the final charge and partook of the nature of confidential instructions to patriots In the trenches. It is a unique, impressive and highly diverting epistle read by the light of later events. A copy follows; LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 1. My Dear Sir: Our committee Is In possession of facts that show the various counties throughout the atale ure being covered with voters coming ln from other states who will doubtless attempt to vote at this election. It Is believed many of these are brought In through the efrorts of the republican party, having received free transportation and money fur expenses, etc. The indica tions are now that this vote will be exceed ingly large. ' I have prepared a compallnt In blank, and likewise a warrant for the arrest of any person who may vote Illegally, and you will find the aame enclosed In this letter. Please use great discretion ln work ing this plan to prevent those who would attempt to vote, and in your Judgment are not eligible, by producing tne complaint and warrant In blank, and say to Ilium that you will place them under arrest If they vote. In this way we believe we can prevent many Illegal votes from being emit. 1 will give this matter to the press, AIbo, so It will have wide circulation and the republicans will understand how you are prepared to arrest any man who may thus attempt to cast Ills vole, where evi dence is In existence that he is not en titled to do so. Take a firm stand in your actions, and exercise care that we do not drive voters f rem us. Our committee will give you any necessary support. It would be well for you to council with a few of your trusted friends relative to all mattera, and act accordingly. 1 believe we shall win If an honest vole can be had. Very respectfully, J. H. EDM13TEN, Chairman. simply fooled out of it, and the committee man is using It all himself. In this way 1 think you can get a number of republicans to fighting eacrt other on account of unfair division of the money. You may be able to get some votes m this way on account of tne disposition man ifested on the part of tne republicans In only permitting the precinct committeeman to distribute the funds. This 1 know Is true ln a number of precincts, and have no doubt but the same is true In yours. Plcaso use this to the best of advantage. Very respectfully, J. H. EUM1STEN. The letter referred to In number two, in tended for public consumption, reads as follows: LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2, 1900. My Dear Sir: As one of your workers In our cause, we desire to say to you that we are ex ceedingly anxious to carry the tte for Mr. Bryan and the entire slate ticket. ou doubtless are aware that the republicans are making use of money ln ever voting precinct ln the state. 1 have absolute prool of tills, and they have a quantity which Is unlimited. X tell, you money will be ln cir culation and In the hands of their men everywhere. Now, it has been setit lo your county and each precinct committee man Is using It r putting it down In his own pocket. Watch this with great care. We believe we shall win In the contest, but the greatest difficulty we have to con tend with is the Immense amount of money in tha h-nri- of tho onDosillon at this time. Please write me fully as to what Is being done' and how you are preparea 10 meet ,h, same. Very respectfully.
