The Outcome of the Election.
If It is true that the people of every
community have the kind of city gov
ernment that they want, then the re
election of Mayor Iiatalnian by a
largely Increased majority over thi
vote he polled three years ago means
that Omaha is to have for the next
three years Just the kind of a chief
executive It wants.
Mayor Jim boasts that he represents
specially the common people, and
there Is no question but that the com
mon people are largely In the major
ity. If he will now take advantage of
his experience during bis first term in
the mayor'! office and avoid during his
second term repeating some of the per
formances which he.hlmself, doubt
less wishes had been left undone, he
may at least give us a, better adminis
tration during the coming three years.
As to what factors contributed to
bring about the defeat of the repub
lican candidate, who, in his personality
was unobjectionable and In ability out
ranked his competitor, will be a sub
ject of all sorts of speculation. Mr.
Breen proved to be a weaker foe to
Mayor Jim than did Mr. Benson three
years before, with this exception, that
Mr. Breen by comparison has run
stronger In the lower wards than in
the upper wards. It Is, therefore, not
the downtown element that has In
creased Mayor Jim's majority, but the
outlying residence districts, supposed
to be inhabited by the more Intelligent
and wealthier classes.
On the rest of the ticket we have
a partial repetition of what happened
once before, namely, a vote for mayor
so strong as to pull 'through a large
portion of the democratic ticket with
It. The republicans, however, have
made good gains in the council and
have elected their city engineer and
police commission by decisive majori
ties. This gives them Just half the
offices filled at the election. Had the
voting machine been used Instead of
the paper ballot the desire to re-elect
Mayor Jim would unquestionably have
pulled the straight lever so fast as to
make a clean sweep for the democrats.
Prevention of Disease.
The proceeding's of the Nebraska
State 'Medical society emphasizes the
present trend of medical science to
ward the prevention of disease. Not
that the profession has In the least re
laxed Its efforts for discovering and
perfecting cures for disease, but this
most Important duty lias been co
ordinated with that of prevention. In
this regard the medical profession has
of late made even more notable ad
vances than in curative research and
la performing a great service in edu
cating the public up to the knowledge
and Importance of observing the rules
for sanitary living. By literature and
lectures the public is getting the ben
efit of modern medical knowledge and
there is no way of telling what the life
saving Influence of this propaganda
has been, or will be until new mortu
ary statistics are compiled, but the
fact that Insurance companies are
realizing the necessity of revising
their mortuary tablea emphasizes the
results.
Whenever some distinguished sur
geon saves a human life by a mar
velous operation or a skillful physi
cian brings a noted personage back
to health from the brink of the grave
his praises are sounded on every hand,
yet tn the person of Dr. Oorgas alone
there lives a man little known outside
of the medical profession, who has
without a doubt saved the lives of more
people than the busiest practitioner
has ever treated. By his courage, sci
entific attainments and patient re
search he had practically eliminated
yellow fever from districts In which
it formerly claimed thousands of vic
tims. Yet Dr. Oorgas Is only one of
the many devoting their lives In this
manner to the good of humanity.
The public is often slow to take up
with innovations In methods of liv
ing, especially where the results are
not Immediately visible and material,
and for this reason the work for
health preservation Is met either with
Indifference or absolute neglect. There
Is evidence, however, that In many di
rections people are gradually realizing
what is being done to lessen the sum
of human misery, but the awakening
is all too slow for their own good.
Industrial Education of the Negro.
From the most unexpected sources
are Coming encouragements for the
uplift of the negro in the south. When
negro education was first instituted in
the south through northern influence
it met almost with universal hostility
there. The results of the work of the
pioneers in this field have opened the
eyes of the real thinkers of the south
and made influential converts ready
to extend a helping hand.
The latest recruit to this class, Sen
ator Clay of Georgia, has seen, what
all men of foresight must see, that the
laborer of the south is of necessity the
negro. He is there and physically
fitted for the task, but his past condi
tion, not through his own fault, has
rendered him inefficient.- This was
first realized when it was sought to
adapt him to the work of the factories
of the new south and the task of his
industrial education commenced. Sen
ator Clay, looking farther than this,
understands that the south's greutest
resource is agriculture, in old slavery
days the master thought for the negro
and directed his movements where 10
day he must think for himself to be
effective. Under unskillful and neg
lectful treatment the soli of the south
ern plantations la Impoverished and
fails to yield the return which Is nec
essary If the south is to retain su
premacy In the fields of agriculture
which It has previously dominated.
Senator Clay is therefore urging upon
bi slate aud the rut of the south the
education of the negro in agriculture,
stopping the drift of the negro away
j from the farm and adding to his pro
ductive capacity as the salvation of
the south and the only means of In
suring permanent prosperity for both
whites and blacks.
It is an encouraging sign for the
solution of the smith's problems when
i men of Senator Clay's type begin to
approach them from the standpoint of
reason rather than prejudice.
The Late Dr. Amador.
The death of Dr. Amador recalls
the important part he played In one of
the world's great affairs. So far as
the public knew he was the central
figure In the revolution In Panama
which was the opening wedge toward
rendering possible the construction of
the canal, which, when completed, Is
expected to revolutionize the transpor
tation of the new world and have a
great Influence on the old.
While as a man Dr. Amador was not
possessed of qualities which under any
conditions would have rendered him
conspicuously great, he was the visible
agent of an Incident of such far-reaching
consequence that he will occupy a
position in hlBtory which many a
greater man could never have attained.
Almost as suddenly as he flashed Into
the public eye came his subsidence,
and nothing but his death has served
to bring him again to public view. He
was the man for the time, the place
and the hour, and with its passing his
usefulness in a larger sense was ended,
for greater men and a greater nation
were needed for the completion of the
giant task.
The Turmoil in France.
The crisis which confronts the
French cabinet and incidentally the
nation is a most confusing one to
those who have not followed closely
the trend of events In that country.
On its face It Is simply a labor dis
turbance, but In reality it is much
more political than industrial. The
state of political equilibrium In France
is generally unstable and the slightest
discontent in any quarter Is taken ad
vantage of by agitators to undermine
whatever faction happens at the time
to be in power. Minor discontents
among the government employes have
been seized upon to foment strife,
which has become so acute as to lie a
source of worry for other European
nations. It is pressure from this
source as well as self-preservation for
the ministry which has Induced
Premier Clemenceau to take stringent
measures to meet the emergency.
It would seem that a people so
frugal and thrifty as the French and
where almost everyone Is to a greater
or less extent a capitalist would be
less given to excesses which threaten
even the continuance of the govern
ment, but the instability of French
character Is beyond the comprehen
sion of the less Impulsive Anglo-Saxon
or German. In the present Instance
a vast army of government employes
have been made dissatisfied over pro
motions and various working condi
tions, and so persistently have the
agitators operated that the entire pub
lic service is threatening revolt.
Removed as we are from the scene
of disturbance the Interest of the
United States is not direct, but both
anarchy and turmoil, wherever they
exist, have a widespread Influence,
particularly when thoe conditions ex-
I iut in a nation atrrtnr rnmmArrtnllv
and politically. But France has weath
ered many storms more serious than
the present and will doubtless find a
solution for the present difficulties.
Nothing stands in the way of an ap
peal to the supreme court from the de
cisions of the district Judges on the
ballot question involved In Omaha's re
cent city election, but with nothing at
slake It will hardly be worth while
carrying up the cases. The fact Is the
decisions of the lower court in both
instances were so Inevitable from the
facts and the law that the palpable
purpose of the talk about appeal was
simply to confuse the public mind and
make political capital for the candi
dates. It turns out that the heaviest suf
ferers by the disuse of the voting ma
chines are the Judges and clerks of
election, compelled to put In from
eight to twenty hours additional time
without increase of pay. It is a safe
guess that the election officers would
vote unanimously to restore the ma
chines. The annual reports of the I'nlted
States land offices in South Dakota
show that a large number of new set
tlers have gone into that state during
the past year and that the movement
Is still continuing. At the present
rate government land in South Dakota
will soon be a thing of the past.

Rnnkera on the Hun,
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
On Monday of thla week the former head
of a private bank In Cleveland, whose de
falcation caused -the bank's ruin, waa
placed on trial. The hearing laated two
days. The Jury after deliberating an hour
returned a verdict of guilty.
On Wednesday, two daya later, another
Cleveland bunker Who had proved false to
his trust, was placed on trial for grand
larceny. One day 'only was required for
this trial likewise and thirty minutes were
sufficient for ',hlli)ury to agree hpon a
verdict of guilty.
These two trials established a record of
promptnesa perhaps unique In the local

If the Brooklyn Hagle correspondent Is
to h- believed, the maiden speech of Sena
tor Martin N. Johnnon of North Dakota In
the sstiati last week, provoked a variety
of dignified emotions. Johnson had not
been talking more than three mlmttoa when
i ho hail everybody laughing. Not that
Johnson was trvlng to b amusing, hut
because he presented such a funnv figure.
In the first place, he resembles a mono
logue artist of the vaudeville circuit, with
very little make-up. Hla hnir Is short and
Irregularly distributed, his face Is angular
and lie wears steel bowed spectacles which
lie Is enrstantty putting on and taking off.
Johnson wears one of v those big, shiny
Prince Alberts much affected hy the song
and dance man.
When he began to speak It wis with a
halting, apologetic manner, fumbling with
books and papers on his desk In the mean
time. He gradually wandered down the
row of aeals until he hrousiit up at a
desk about twenty feet from wher he
started. During all this lime he turned
his back on the vice president and talked
to the democrats on the back row of seats
Johnson began tH'.kit.g with a terky de
livery, hardly Intelligible, the while rub
bing his nose, with the long finger of his
right hand. He presented such a quaint,
unusual figure In the dignified senate that
there were broad smile all over the cham
ber. Everybody waa surprised when the North
Dakota man began to talk about what
happened In the ways and means commit
tee when the Dinglry bill was drafted. Ho
spoke aa though he had been there all the
time, and gave away some of the Inside
committee room secrets. He aeemed to
have such an accurate knowledge of the.
happenings connected with the drafting of
the Dlngley law that a suspicion was
created that he might have been present.
On turning to the Congressional Directory,
It waa found that Johnson had been a
member of the Fifty-fourth and Fifty
fifth congresses and was a member of the
ways and means committee when Dlngley
waa its chairman. Nobody seemed to know
about it before Johnson began to speak.
The preelncta of the senate were in
vaded Friday by two strangers, but the
grave old Btlcklera for the excluslveness
of that chamber were not aware of the de
secration until after the two men had de
parted. A doorkeeper la having nightmare
in fear of the wrath of Colonel Dan Rans
dell, aergennt-at-arms and guardian of

The strangers were taking in the sights
of the capltol and, seeing the main' door
of the senate invitingly open strolled Into
the chamber, sat down on one of the com
fortable ofaa in the rear of the senators'
deska una listened to a proay tariff dis
cussion fnr half an hour. Tiring of the
debate, they quietly took their departure.
A newspaper man having spied them, and
not recognizing them as members of either
house, or as distinguished personages en
titled to the privileges of the floor, aeked
the doorkeeper, as they passed out, who
they were.
"They are members of the house, 1
guess," Hnswered that employe. The news
paper man then accosted the strangers and j
asked If they were congcessmen.
Discovering that they were not, he
wanted to know how they happened to get
on the floor of the senate, a privilege ac
corded to only a few hundred of the 90,

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.
Grand Island Independent; Mr. Bryan
cornea out In a belated editorial endorsing
the daylight closing hill. The Mil Ins been
on file In the legislature since February.
That la why it may fitly be said that the
editorial comes a Utile lato. Air. Bryan
evidently lnaits that Mr. Snallenherger
shall have no advantage.
Schuyler Flee ince; This legislature
session is In marked contrast with that of
two years ago and will do the democratic
party no good aa a comparison. That waa
considered the beat session the state ever
had and this la classed as the worst. Two
years ago the democratic mlrafrlty waa
permitted to participate In the proceedings
and claimed a share In the honors, but
this year the republican minority waa not
permitted to do much and no doubt but
that it. la glad to not share in the disgrace.
Nellgh Free I.ance: The editor of the
democratic Columbus Telegram criticise
the Umaha bee for Its alleged had treat
ment of William Jennings BTyan, and the
democratic press of the state generally
takea It up in me too articles. The ex
pressed sentiment Is that election la over
now and Bryan is defeated and he should
be let alone. Now, that would read well
If that were all there waa to It, but the
fact la that while election Is over and
Bryan has taken hla regulation beating,
but he has no retired aa a private eltlxen.
He not only discusses public men and tncas
urea each week In Ills Commoner, but in
hla Interviews given to the press he goes
the same way. Not long since he waa pub- t
licly expressing himBelf aa preferlng defeat
to election by the class who voted for
Taft. thia really slurring the presjdent.
But according to the Telegram The Bee
nor any other paur must say a word In
criticism of the Peerless One. no difference
what he may say" through hla own publics-
Hon. through the public iness or on the
lecture platform. If Bryan had retired to
private life after election, then continual
and persistent editorial comment of The
Bee would be properly denounced, but as
It is It l but proper. However. In the mind
of the Telegram editor and other demo
crats you must not say aught adversely
to the Immaculate Bryan. The sickening
hero worshiping of such fellows makei
one wears. If the Telegram editor could
each morning be privileged to klse the
hem of the Peerless One's garment he
would Imagine he had a halo about his head
the rest of the day.

' perllr Clearly Shown.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Ten or fifteen yeara ago the farm mort-
gage in the west waa synonymous with
ruin. That was because the rapid develop -
ment of western statea by men with little
or no capital had been checked by a aeries
, ...
of years of crop failure combined with
nation-wide Industrial depression. Only
too many of the borrowers found them
selves without resources to tide over the
hard times. Then came a period of recu
peration on the baMs of eplendid crops for
many successive years. The debtors put
all their energies at work to pay oTf their
creditors, and aome of the western states
got themselves Into surh a condition that
a farm mortgage was almost as hard to
find aa a farm without a mortgage had
been a few years prevloualy.
When that stage had been reached the
fortunate farmers, along with the towns
people who shared their prosperity, found
themselves accumulating funds which
needed Investment. Purchases of adjoining
lands sent land values rapidly upward,
and In many cases farmers began to pur
chase cheap lands still farther west for
their sons, in this way Nebraska and Kan- j
aa and Dakota are engaged in doing now
what Illinois and Indiana and Ohio did a
generation ago. Surh pjrehaaes often In
volve temporary debts, and so the farm
mortgage now begins to become a little
more frequent, but with a different signif
icance from what It was two decades ago.
The Nebraska Bureau of Labor and In
duatrlal stattatica reports that last year
the farm mortgages filed amounted to a
total of Sil4.4o3.0uu. as against t30.TTXI.i00 re
leased, a alight inrrease. The city real
estate mortgagee filed amount to almost
IH.kmV'J. aa against t9.CKi,(v0 released.
which Indicates an era or home building,
partly due to farmers moving Into the city
and acquiring town homes, while at the
same time keeping their farms as a source
of Income. Chattel mortgages filed
amounted to t34.40O.0r4. as against tK.uCO.COD
released, a large part of which may prob
ably be attributed to the appearance of
tenants on the farms which the owners are
ceasing to work with their own hands.
This mortgage extension Is one stage In the
movement of prosperity. There are no in
dications that states like Nebraska and
Kansas can ever again suffer am h depres
sion aa that of the '9Hi.
