The possible faults of some public men
belonging to the republican party should
not be conceded by the republicans as
weakening their entire system of policies
unless some party can produce Infallible
men to carry out principles that would
be of more practical value In strengthen
ing business and building up a higher or
der of society. The democrats relish the
spectacle of the republican party finding
fault with Itself and threatening divisions
ovfr a few thlnsts to the possible overturn
ing of the whole party system. It Is up
to the republican party to get together,
compromise differences and unite to carry
on Its general policies. This Is wiser
than concdinR more weakness than exists,
and virtually Inviting the visionaries of
the opposition to assume the reins and
take possession. Beatrice Express.
This Is well timed and well put. Ne
braska is a republican state because
its people bflleve !n republican princi
ples and policies, and they are more
concernfd In the prosperity which
measures carrying out the republican
program bring than they are In the
personal ambitions of rival politicians
seeking official places.
The republican party in Nebraska Is
today suffering more from back-fire
than from front-fire. Certain news
papers that are quoted as republican
ave assumed the role of captious
fault finders, and are manufacturing
more political capital for the enemy
than the newspapers that are openly
emorratic. In the Commoner this
week. Mr. Bryan, referring to the
Charleston News and Courier, says:
It calls Itself democratic without
being demociatic, Just as some legis
lators call themselves representatives
when they are misrepresentativee." In
the same way we have In Nebraska
some newspapers which fall them-
elves republican without being repub
lican, and their chief object seems to
be to attack the republican party In
order to be quoted In the democratic
press. An out and out democratic
organ, fighting In the open, would do
the republicans less damage than a
self-styled republican newspaper con
stantly giving aid and comfort to the
enemy.
By this we do not mean to say that
the republican newspaper should not
attack abuses and frauds in its own
party. That is often Its duty, but
there is a difference between exposing
corruption or opposing unworthy can
didates, and undermining the princi
ples and policies of the part? by Diali
ng out that all its leaders are selfish
and unscrupulous, and all the opposi
tion leaders patriotic statesmen.
Political Unrest in Mexico.
For some time there has been signs
of political unrest in Mexico, which
threatened to break the long period
of stability brought about by the wis
dom and strong personality of Presl
dent Diaz, and these developed Mon
day intp violent political riots. The
president is growing old and must
necessarily relinquish office before
many years. Th9 vice presidency,
which Is looked upon as the stepping
stone to the presidential succession, Is
the disturbing element. President Diaz
is favorable to the candidacy of Ramon
Corral, and, while the president's per
sonal following Is strong enough to
make any opposition to himself im
potent, it is not so easy to deliver his
friends to Corral. Reyes, governor of
one of the principal states of Mexico
has a powerful following and his can
dldacy for' the vice presidency bids fair
to be successful.
It has been hoped that the strong
government of President Diaz, under
which Mexico has been practically free
from political disturbances and has
made a wonderful progress, might have
weaned his people from the revolution
habit from which other Spanish
American countries suffer, but present
conditions are not reassuring. One of
the regrettable features of the Reyes1
campaign Is that it has rallied to its
support the anti-foreign element
which Is dissatisfied with the oppor
tunities offered foreign capital. As mil
lions of American money are Invested
In Mexico the ascendency of any man
or party favorable to that sentiment
might easily embroil the United States
In difficulties.
Republicanism in the South.
The first real fruits of President
Taft's policy of encouraging a repub
lican revival in southern states Is evl
deuced by the activity of the party in
Virginia. Whether It will result I
breaking up the solid south Is not so
material from the southern point of
view as from a party one. The south
appears ripe for breaking away from
the free trade policy of many of it
democratic leaders, democrats them
selves not being united on the ques
tion, as demonstrated by the votes
on the pending tariff bi'l. M.nufac
turing Is becoming a strong factor In
southern development, and there Is
reason to believe that political divis
ions there can be brought about along
the same lines as In the north If the
proper course is pursued.
From a political standpoint, it Is the
opportunity for republican growth, but
the move has a more far reaching and
beneficial object. So long as the south
was dominated absolutely by the demo
cratic party, without at least a strong
and militant minority to .hold the ma-
Jority In check, political conditions
here could never be Ideal. A strong
minority, which at any time might
become a nialorlty. is essential to
ealthy political life. Party divisions
long class or race lines are also harm-
ul. The move to vitalize the republi
can party in the south, therefore, is a
gool omen for the south Itself.
It Is also bad for the nation to have
party divisions alons sectional lines
nd in times of stress might easily
lead to serious consequences. The cam
paign In Virginia will be watched w ith
Interest as the first effort to vitalize
the Taft policy and while It would be
too much to expect a political revolu
tion In one or two campaigns, the Vir
ginia experiment should be an entering
wedge in a new political area.
Brewer on Judicial Reform.
Justice Brewer of the t'nited States
upreme court In a recent address
forcefully seconded the stand taken by
President Taft for simplification of
Judicial procedure. He pointedly
called attention to one of the most
glaring evils when he said "the revers
ing of a Judgment by an appellate
court on the ground of a mere techni
cality when substantial Justice has
been administered, is an outrage."
The law's delays were also severely
criticised, but a great portion of these
evils arise out of technical rulings.
The taking of several weeks to secure
Jury also came in for a rap as well
8 many other abuses the public has
complained of.
The objections raised by Justice
Brewer are not new, but have been re
Iterated many times In recent years.
The one stock reply has been that none
ut lawyers understood these things,
and the public is unable to appreciate
to what simplification and expedition
of Judicial procedure would lead. This
answer will not suffice In the cases
of President Taft and Justice Brewer,
however. Both are lawyers of high at
tainments, and wide experience, and
no man now living has had a wider ex
perience on the bench than Justice
Brewer and his ability as a Jurist Is
unquestioned. His long service on the
supreme bench would naturally tend
to make him conservative, and, in fact,
he has been classed as one of the most
conservative of that body. The evils
must be glaring, indeed, to bring such
a scathing criticism from a man like
Justice Brewer. A few more converts
of the Taft and Brewer class and a
few more decisions like that of the
Missouri court giving a convict a new
trial because the word "the" was
omitted from the indictment may pro
duce results. .
No matter what name is eventually

JUSTICE BREWER ON THE COURTS
Urgent Need of Simplifying: Present
Methods.
Brooklyn Eagle.
Whatever one may think of Justice
Brewer's opinions on woman suffrage, Im
perialism or commercial honesty, there Is
one subject upon which he Is an expert
and In regard to which his word Is con
clusive. That subject is the administration
of our courts. , .
When, therefore. Justice Brewer says
that "There la a cumbersomcness In our
legal procedure which hajt resulted In great
delays, much expense and some times In
justice, and there Is no duty more Im
perative upon the bar and the bench than
to do what they can to simplify matters
and put technicalities out of the way, and
see to It that substantial Justice Is ad
ministered." laymen who have Insisted
upon the need of reform in court procedure,
so that emphasis shall be put upon Justice
and not on technicalities, may regard their
case as proved.
Justice Brewer adds that aome of the
Justices of our higher courts "are re
sponsible for not a little of the delay."
lie Is not alone In his demand for reform
of court administration. Before his elec
tion President Taft addressed a body of
lawyers In Virginia to the same general
effect and pointed out details In which
procedure might and should be simplified.
Justice Brewer has faith that Mr. Taft's
administration "will be productive of great
and beneficial results" In the national Judi
ciary system, but that would be only a
beginning of needed reform.
Thousands suffer through the delays of
stats courts for one who meets the same
treatment In tho federal courts. Not until
ths lawyers awaken to a sense of their re
sponsibility and secure changes In the state
laws can the reform be properly aeeom
pllshed. And as those changes would re
duce the Importance and opportunities of
the lawyers It is hardly to be expected
that lawyers will lead In bringlnr them
about. And yet until they help in that
work It will be Impossible to restore the
prestige and dignity which once attached
to their profession.

Recovery of Grabbed Coal Land and
Their Sale.
Chicago Trlbuns.
TJncle Sam has coal lands for sals. But
they ar no longer to be bought on the
old plan. At least some of the profit from
their exploitation Is to reach the United
States treasury Instead of all of It going
to enrich shrewd speculators who discover
rich coal veins underlying government
land, but keep quiet about it until they
buy for a song.
The Department of the Interior an
nounces that certain unappropriated areas
In the Evanston land district In Wyoming
have been classified as coal lands. In
soma cases the price per acre has been
made )500. That represents a marked ad
vance over the $10 and 120 acre prloe paid
by buyers under former arrangements. A
township sold under previous rales brought
1469.000. approximately, at the maximum
price. The same township, under the new
rating. Is worth mors than ts.000,000.
During the month of June coal lands
were classified and restored to entry which
had previously been withdrawn. Under
the old ratings they were worth t7.6S0,0O0.
Under the new they sre Hated at $18,500,000.
Such figures indicate the positive results
of the Inquiry which the government has
been making In connection with Its west
ern lands. The amounts are relatively
small when the "billion dollar sessions
i of congress are considered. But they are
large enougn to snow ine vaiue or ine in-
vestlgations which have been mads.
The principle Involved la more important
than the money savings. It la a prrctlcal
application of the Idea of conservation of
natural and national resources. It is an
Indorsement of the views of ex-President
Roosevelt, as he expressed then) again and
again. There Is every reason hy the gov
ernment should get a fair return from the
sale of its valuable possessions. If this
principle had been put Into practice many
years ago many a fraud upon the nation
mould have besn prsveoted.

New York prices range from 36 cents to

Father Knickerbocker la 23 years old,
but he Is still learning things about
women. His latest experience may be of
value to younger and callower cities, so
declares a writer In Success Magazine.
Some time ago William O. McAdoo, who
has built up a thriving little business under
the Hudson river, running trains between
New York and the United States, set aside
a special car for the exclusive use of
women. The people hailed the Innovation
with Joy. Here, at last, women could ride,
safe from Jostling, seat-grabbing, tobacco
scented men. True, some fun was poked
at the "Jane Crow" cars, and there were
sty suggestions about mirrors, and per
fumery, and powdor boxes, but neverthe
less Mr. McAdoo was hailed as a public-
spirited business man and a perfectly
lovely gentleman. Polite uniformed at
tendants at the stations Informed women
of the special car and everything went
beautifully.
There was only one drawback to the
scheme. The women would not use the
car. Giving the uniformed attendants, oh,
such a look, the women crowded Into the
co-educatlonal department, leaving their
special car half empty. After three
months' trial the gallant Mr. McAdoo has
ordered the women's car discontinued.
Jack Blnns, the original C. Q. P. man,

company of America exhibiting moving
pictures based on the wireless operator's
services on the sinking ship. The court
will sift the matter on Monday. Mr. Blnns
has also asked for $?5 damages P. D. Q.
His plea is that as he has won first
fame In a new field he wishes to retain
It untarnished by films and unshaken by
the moving of flcltltlous pictures. The
thing that hurts him the most Is that
another man was dressed In an Ul-fltting
uniform and posed as Jack; and those who
have seen the pictures declares that ,he Is
even homelier than Jack himself. Worse
yet, the Imitator cut up a lot of antics
before the camera that no self-respecting
wireless operator would perform, even
though a ship were not sinking under his
feet. It Is Blnns' Intention to push the
suit.
It Is told on high authority on the Rlalto
that there are 10,000 actors registered in
the agency books of this city, and that
of these, fully 9.000 have been In town dur
ing July, or are still here, looking for en
gagements. The further fact Is stated that the man
agers and their representatives are putting
off the making of contracts as
long as possible. This sinister reason Is
given: "Every man and woman who Is
looking for a Job is now asking a salary
three times as high as the same person
will be willing to accept In September."
The later the date, the greater the scare.
the less to pay.
There is weariness without end, disap
pointments without number, calls without
results, the climbing of stairs and the
haunting of corriders. aa these thousands
of men and women are chased by fleet
footed hope from one agency to another.
Some of them are looking for fame, soft
jobs and riches.
- But the large majority are looking for
work. Morely for some Job during the com
ing season that will give them food, cloth
ing and a shelter over their heads. There
Is a pathetic side to this rjuest, but the
agents cannot afford to see It.
It Is their business to engage a man who
ca make money for his employer, and not
merely because he la "good to his mother."

In commemora'tlon of its twenty fifth
anniversary of existence, the Spokane
Spokssman-Revlew has issued a splendid
special number. Editorially and typo
graphically this special number Is highly
praiseworthy. Its appearance and con
tents are creditable alike to the Spokesman-Review,
to Spokane, and to the won
derful Inland Empire country, composed
of eastern Washington, northern Idaho
and northeastern Oregon. Of this section
of country, Spokane Is the chief city and
the Spokesman-Review the chief news
paper. As an advertisement of the re
sources of this fertile and productive sec
tion, this special anniversary paper could
not have been surpassed.

THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY.
New York Sun.
Close by the path of every d.iy
The winding roadway lies;
We breathe the Incense of the da1 ti
Beneath the solemn skies.
And lo. cloud curtains lift and brins
Old scenes before our eyes!
A sound of bell on summer eve.
A breath of violet's bloom.
When touch of llttl cllnglnT hand
Comes with the f.ilnt pnif-'tne-And
then the HoHd to Yesterday
, Breaks shlnlnft through the gloom'
We catch a glimpse of snowy peaks
Ahmc a shadowed vale;
Or down some mountain's sloping ide
There bloom the wl'd flowers pale;
Or on the far horizon fslls
A light on sinking sail.
Along the Road to Yesterday
I,le palaces of light
And windy caves In hrrn lands
Whereof no man has sight.
And stranse moons round a hi ranger earth
Draw wild tides In the night!
The road lends over sunken sss
And stretch of desert sands;
The stars of long past ages shine
O'er wondrous twilight lands;
And there are long forgotten friends
Who once have clasped our hand.s!
