Fear of United States. Conjuring up sentiment against the United Statea la the plan which one candidate for the Mexican vice presi dency ho pea will land him In office. It la foreordained that Dlat will be chosen prealdent again If he lives until election time, but he is getting old and the vice presidency may be a step ping stone to tha auccesslon. It Is unfortunate that anyone should attempt to cultivate In Mexico a senti ment of distrust against a neighboring nation to feed a political ambition. Sounding a warning would be a pa triotic act, If there were any founda tion for fear, but there la none. There Is not even an inconsoquentlsl number among our cltlxens who entertain such designs, much less a potential one, and the same Is true as to all South' and Central American countriea. The only purpose the United States has is to see thoae countries grow and prosper, for thelf growth and prosperity adds to our own. If territorial aggrandizement were contemplated we would not "have let go of Cuba and set that Island country on its feet. Mexico and all our neighbors to the south are only In the Infancy of devel opment and no power Is so-capable or willing to help them a the United States. Their trade 18 valuable to us and Increased development makes It more so. Having had our friendship proved over and over, Mexico should give no heed to btisybodies endeavor ing to breed trouble between us. The Kentucky Fendiit. The ethics of the Kentucky feudist are beyond the comprehension of out siders. From our standpoint the feud Is a relc of barbarism and the shoot ing of men from ambush a mark of ar rant cowardice. Yet the man who commits such a crime knows if he re mains In the community, sooner or later, he will meet the same fate, and still he stays and fights It out in the Kentucky way. It la a disgrace to civ ilisation that euch things can be in the twentieth century, and Kentucky owea lt(to itaelf and to the nation to put ah end to such practices. The majority of Kentucklans doubtless ap preciate thla and efforts have already been made to end the Intolerable con dition, but With no success. The difficulty confronting the law officers Is that the participants are not criminals In the ordinary acceptance of the term. They are men prominent in business, many of them church members, whose dealings otherwise are on the higher plane of morality. They are simply imbued with a false Ideal, a relic of the days when Ken tucky won the name of the "dark and bloody ground." There alwaya will be murders so long aa men have un controllable passions, but the Ken tucky blood feud Is not In this cate gory. There should be some way of letting the light of reason and mod ern civilisation into these benighted minds. Bevival in. Iron trade Steel manufacturers at Pittsburg, the heart of the industry, are even predicting that the capacity of the mills will be unequal to supplying the demand and that by October 1 the floodtlde will be reached. If thla con dition should materialize it would mark the greatest industrial revival In the history of the country. It is true that previous to the- panic of 1907 the mills were overburdened with orders, but since that time the largest steel plant In the world, at Gary, InrL, has been completed and put in operation. There appears to' be good ground for these predictions. Order axe com ing in at a rapid rate and inquiries for future delivery are still greater. Mills which have been on short time are. many of them running" full force and double shift and idle works are resuming operation. This revival in the steel industry of itself means work for thousands and consequent inciease In coqsuming power. The industry is so intimately related to others that it cannot prosper while they languish. Activity in the steel mills is the con centrated evidence of activity in all lines throughout the country, the key note and not the aum of industrial progreaa. The west" can well pride Itself on playing a leading -part in the restora tion of trade activity. It refused to be stampeded In 1907 and halted only becauM the east locked up its money. The west carried Its own burden with Its own resources and haa contributed both Initiative and money to encour age the timid east to catch step in the forward move. Some Facts About Cuba. The recently completed .Cuban' cen- aua serves to dispel several illusions regarding that country. It la common to apeak of the American invasion, but figures show , that'ta population this invasion is a" myth. Out of 2,045,980 people in Cuba only 6,785 are of American birth and 197;217 whites from other countries. There has been a considerable Influx of American cap ital which ia doing much to develop Cuba'a Industries, but It is using Span ish and Cuban material to accomplish this. The reason is easy to see. The island waa a Spanish colony, its people apeak the Spanish language and its customs are mainly Spanish. , Cuban climate, moreover, la tropical and the American la Illy suited to more than supervisory . taska there. Its com merce, both exports and imports, is largely with the United States because of contiguity and the natural trade ad vantagea. Another common misapprehension is that Cuba la dominated numerically and politically by blacka and those of mixed blood. In round numbers there are 1,600,000 wbitea and 600,000 negroes aad mixed, bloods. A ' large Immigration to the Island, mostly from Spain, la widening the numerical gap between the races. Cuba'a area la about the eame aa the state of Ohio and its population about half aa large. Its Immense agricultural and mineral resources are easily capable of Sup porting four times the present popula tion. The real American Invaalon la the invasion of American ideas and American money revolutionising In dustry. Good roada have opened up transportation and Aroerlea'e need for the sugar and tobacco, which were not supplied under the old regime, has stimulated Investment. With a few years of political rest the transforma tion from the old, lethargic Cuba to productive activity will be complete. How great this transformation can not be measured by comparison because the census Jjst taken is the first, but the exports and Imports have vastly Increased, more land Is cultivated, less wasteful methods prevail and labor Is more consistently employed. Party Government. And now comes none other than William Jennings Bryan, advising defi ance of a law, written In great big let ters on the statute books of Nebraska. More than that, the law which Mr. Bryan would ignore was written on the statute books by his own demo cratic leKiHlattire and made effective by the autograph approval of a demo cratic governor. The particular law in question pro vides for the holding of annual party conventions to promulgate party plat forms and select members of the state committees of the respective parties. The law provides that these conven tions shall be held "in the year 109 and annually thereafter," and has no ifs or ands about It. Yet Mr. Bryan Is quoted as advising refusal to obey the law simply because "no platform will be necessary" Inas much aa no party nominations for state offices are contemplated. We grant the premise that no plat forms will be necessary, if there are to be no party candidates to run on them, but why did not the legislature take cognifanca of that fact? Why should the legislature have undertaken to make it mandatory to hold state con ventions thla year and every year if they were unnecessary? To be aura, the law provides no pen alty for disobedience and no one will be imprisoned or fined if thla year's party conventions are abandoned. But If the platform conventions are aban doned this year regardless of the law, what la to prevent us from repeating the performance next year and the year after and as long aa anyone may think them unnecessary? We agree with Mr. Bryan, that If we have no party nominations, platform conventions are expensive luxuries, but If we are to wipe political parties off the map this year the next demand will be to wipe them off the map alto gether and abolish party government entirely. Mr. Bryan makes it plain that he wants to protest against brewery Interference In politics. World-Herald. He didn't protest very much last year against the brewery interference in politics, without which Nebraska'a electoral vote would never have gone to Bryan, nor would Nebraska's execu tive mansion be occupied by a demo cratic governor. The more-men-prlnclpala propa ganda seems to have commanded only one vote in our school board. If such a thing were possible, those women principals are even more successful In managing to stand in with the board than 'in managing the children in their schools. The outgoing superintendent for the Nebraska School for the Deaf gives it out that he has been offered the head position in a similar and larger Institu tion in Kansaa. It his displacement here Is a promotion to a better Job there should be no complaint. The Atlanta Constitution thinks there will be an exodus from Omaha since it la Illegal to swear over the tel ephone. Not at all. When a man Is mad enough to awear over the tele phone he doesn't need one to make himself heard. General Funston had a battle with a. burglar, and while the casualties were not Urge enough to overtax the capacity of the post hoapital, the gen eral remained In possession of the field. Another brevet rank ia due the general'a way. v The Charleston News and Courier says there are two kinds of democrata. The southern editor must have loat count. There are two distinct species right here in Omaha, Jtms and Jacks, and then there is Bryan and Joe Bailey. The Houston Post pokes fun at the matrimonial contract signed by a Ne braskan. If the Texas men had cour age enough to sign such contracta there would be no necessity for ao many red-lieaded widows In Texas. Ex-Governor Folk stopped over in Lincoln between lecture dates, but de clined to be Interviewed while under the shadow of Falrvlew, There must be a aort of senatorial courtesy be tween Chautauqua performers.

An American Inventor has produced an automatic gun that throws three-pound hell three and a half miles at the rate of 2M a minute. The gun weighs but nine hundred pounds, is carried on a war car that can carry it ammunition and a crew of ten men, tweny-flve miles an hour along the roads, and then wheel Into position and ahoot while the regular artillery would be unlimberlng. It Is not surprising to learn that the gun has been contracted fon by th British government, who will use It in guarding the channel. This American In vention, accepted and adopted by Great Britain, will be tested by the United States government In a few days. American in ventor, like prophets, look abroad for their first hono.s.

Howell' Journal, (dem.): The World Herald may continue to bow at the shrine of corporation greed and brewery control, and we suppose It, will, but It will not be attended In it worship by the free country pre of Nebraska. Ruahvllle. Recorder: Governor Shallen berger concede that Nebraska Is normally republican. Ye, and if anything gave elo quent testimony to fact It was the way the late democratic legislature acted under the stimulus of that fact. Bloomlngton Advocate Some one has suggested to Governor Shallenberger that he ought to set apart on day during the summer to b known a "weed day" In which all weed ar to be killed. Th av erage thrifty farmer kills weeds every day during th ummr that he can and doesn't need any special proclamation from the governor. Columbus Tribune: Auditor Barton, our present state auditor, has the nerve and ability to come out In the open and tel the life nuranc companie "fhu far ana no farther." The Btate lnurnce depart ment la for the protection of the men who buy Insurance and these ruling will force companie that ar trying to fool the people to get right. Waterloo Gasette: The supreme court has decided the case Involving the tenure of office of the Judges appointed by former Governor Sheldon and declare they are en titled to hold the office. The act of the legislature In canvasuing the vote on the constitutional amendment and Governor Shallenberger in making new appointments are therefore void. And so It goes a bit touch on our democratic friend, but they should have known better, really. Cret Vldeti Herald: In Beatrice and Kansas th governor tells the people that he u really disgruntled because 00 Omahogs came down In a body and tried to overawe him with numbrra and Induce him to veto the I o'clock closing law. In Omaha he assures his liquor friends that he signed the bill In their Interest and he was building better than they knew fcr he was striking a blow to head off prohibition. Her It I, there it Is and now you dfin't aee it. Th governor haa alwaya advocated "home rule" and ha stood upon planks in opposition to all sumptuary lawa. Can he successfully carry out hi program and continue to aecure eupport from both aides? If so, he Is a polithal .le dandy, equal to the statesman who walked oil eggs without breaking them. Washington Life hart Sketch of Ineat aad atpicode that Mark th frog res of Svnta at th Vatloaal Capital. 1 Six of the group of republican progres sives who ar struggling to upset th pro tection program of extremist ar known as th buy B of the senate Beverldge, Borah. Bourne. Burkett. Bristow and Bromn. They lt bunched together at the right hand of the vice president. "They ar all from th wet. a rugged-looking lot of men." ay the Wshlngton correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle, in a letter describ ing th progress of the tariff battle. "All of them v Beveridge, have et on the flrsVand second row on the extreme right hnd side of the snt. They ar etil among th democrat, because there Is tn room for them o the republican aide. ator LaFollett la aluo quartered there. T!i Wisconsin man Is blamed by the nat. leader for organising the mutinous Busy Hi. They have a fresh, breeiy business like way of speaking and doing things, wnlch is fast robbing the senate of It title of the most dignified deliberative body In the world. None of them thought It neces sary to wait a year or two after taking the oath to make a speech. They plunged right In before their chair had become warm. The folks back home are with them and they know It. That's th rea son they are braving the dangers of being thrown outside the party breastworks, by fighting Aldrich tooth and nail on prac tically every section of the tariff bill." Regarding the Busy B's of Nebraska and nearby states, the correspondent Indulges In these reflections: "Another lieutenant of LaFollette 1 Norrl Brown of Ne braska. He ia a round, chunky man with a smooth, smiling, boyish face. Seen on the street he would never be picked out as a United States senator. Good nature shine from every feature. He doesn't look like a man who would be stubborn enough to trouble anybody. Brown wa born In Iowa, but fell a victim to the great Kearney land boom. A sharp real estate man figured It out some twenty years ago that Kearney, Neb., was exactly midway between Boston and San Francisco. This was sufficient, In his mind, to launch a real estate boom. In short order he had built up a town o 20,000 people out of nothing. Brown was one of the 20,000. When the boom flattened out, Brown nearly starved to death a a poor lawyer, having been drawn In from Iowa. He hung on and when the political move men was started to break the grip of th railroads on th state. Brown took a hand In the game. Eventually he wa mad state's attorney general and In a great legal battle compelled the railroads to pay $3,000,000 in back taxes. This paid off the state debt, and In appreciation of his work the people sent Brown to the senate. " The best thing about Brown Is that he always votes right,' said an admiring westerner. This means that the Nebraskan tands with LaFollette, or Cummins, or Dolllver, or any other so-called progres ive who strives to take a fall out of the existing order of things, especially If it aims a blow at a 'protected Interest." "The other senator from Nebraska, Elmer J. Burkett, also belongs to the industrious and wicked Busy B's. He was born on a farm and followed the honest. If unevent ful pursuits of agriculture until about twelve years ago. Then he became a law yer ' and a politician. Burkett haa the mark of the farm on him yet, but when he dons a senatorial frock coat he look like a Methodist minister. He Is of me dium height and thick set.' What hair he has Is Jet Mack. - Like most present day politician his face Is smooth shaven. . Burkett ha a big voice, I a ready de bater and wa promoted to the senate after several years of service in the house. He has wobbled lately in his devotion to the principle of the Busy B'. He voted against repealing the clause "16 Dutch standard," In the sugar schedule, which Is claimed to be the Joker which annually net millions to th Sugar trust. Th fact ha been sent broadcast over Nebraska and may make trouble for Burkett. He comes up for re-election In 1911 and they say that Bryan would not object tcN occupying Burkett's seat. "Just a few seat beyond Burkett I Jon athan Bourn of Oregon. Bourne I on of th pussies of the senate. He ha had a varied career and hi appearance indicate it. He 1 of average height with a physique thin and wiry. His youthful look ing coal black hair contrasts strongly with an old face which shows many trace of a strenuous life. He inherited on fortune, pent It and made another. He wa born In Masachusetts and after two year at Har vard left that Institution of learning for a trip around the world, when he settled in Portland. He ha large Interests in mining and timber properties in Oregon and in cotton mills in Massachusetts. "Bourne 1 the man who started the third term boom for Roosevelt. He stuck to It that Rosevelt would be renominated until one hour before Taft wa chosen by the Chicago convention. ,Then he ssld the whole secret program of th insiders was changed at the last minute when they threw down Roosevelt and took Taft In stead. Bourn ha a trick of being on In timate term with our president. Hi visit to Mr. Roosevelt were a numerous a those of Mr. Beveridge, and Mr. Taft now play golf with him mora often than with Vice President Sherman. "Another born fighter among th Busy B's U William Edgar Borah of Idaho. Borah la. a striking looking man. Just tha kind you would expect from the mining camp of Idaho. He I tall and molded on heavy lines. He has a great shock of black, stiff, unruly hair. Borah's face Is broad and seamed With deep line. He ha teel gray, cold eye.
