The Trouble! of Spain.
The troubles of Spain aro multiply
ing so rapidly that If any person or
Idea were presented around which the
discontented could rally tho present
dynasty would probably be 4wept
away. The Spanish foreoa tn Morocco
are meeting with atubborn resistance
and the reporta read between the llnea
of censored dlspatchea Indicate a d le
ast roii4 revorae. At home open re
volt by unorganised mobs Is testing
tho resources of the government.
Tho Incident a leading up to tho prea
ent troubles are many and, while there
la a disposition to credit the outhrenka
at home to natural Spanish turbu
lence, there la a deeper cause. It la
doubtful If the people of the I'nlted
States or Great RrUaln, with all their
governmental atablllty, would peace
ably submit to conditions existing In
Spain. The drafting of reservUta to
aerve In Morocco or even for garrleon
duty at home takes the poor alon
Into the army. The rich buy them
selves out, while the poor conscript
must leave hla family with no support,
for the pay of the Spanish soldier Is a
pittance. Kn forced military service Is
unpopular everywhere and under such
conditions becomes Intolerable.
Another cause of discontent la the
deep-eeated prejudice against a foreign
war. For centurtea Spanlarda have
sent their sona and husbands to for
eign lauds to be slaughtered without
the poor recompense of national glory.
The nation and Its people have been
Impoverished by these ware and the
present war I doubly unpopular from
being brought on to protect a rich mln-
lug corporation operating near Melllla,
whose encroaebmenta were reaented by
tho Moors.
Spain lu normal times Is rent by
faction. There are the Carllsta, the
republican and. In Harcelona panic
ularly, a Urge turbulent element
which lovee trouble for trouble'a sake.
If tho government successfully emerge
from the trying situation It will be
solely because the opposition lacks a
strong leader or a common purpose,
for tho king la not a strong personality
and hla advlsora have not shown auy
real capacity.

C'eHaln fault-finding critics, located
for the rnoaf part at Lincoln, profesa to
be more or leaa exercised because of
the omission from the republican plat
form of referencea or endoraementa of
a lot of thlnga which they Include In
the republican creed. This criticism
overlook the fact that. tbe atnte cam-
pnlKn In Nebraska th's year Ih confine!
to tho election of three supreme Judgox
and three membera of the university
board of rcgenta. and that Jio onn la to
be electod who will have nny voice In
matters of state legislation or admln
Intratlon. Hy reaffirming the national and state
plat (onus of 1008 the convention made
it entirely unneceaaary to repent at
length declaration of fealty to nil of
the policies therein je;t forth. The
convention waa expecWd to, and did,
record Itself unequivocally on tho
tnrlff revision clause whoso meaning
had been disputed, end It properly
called attention .mow to the unprece
dented record of reform legislation en
acted wIiOho benefit the people are en
joying ns boons from the Inst repub
lican legislature as contrasted with tho
fiasco of the lato democratic legisla
ture. The omission of a plnnk on the direct
primary law does not change the
pnrty'a attitude on thnt subject. On
the contrnry, by reaffirming the plat
form of IPOS It stands steadfast by the
direct primary with promisea of
strengthening amendments. Hut the
direct primary law which the repub-
lleana enacted la not tho direct pri
mary law now on tho statute booka na
mutilated by the deuiocrnta, nor are
any number of republicans willing to
assume responsibility for the wide-
open primary saddled on the people by
the late democratic legislature. Irre
spective of thnt question, however, the
planting of the primary again on firm
ground by repeal of the wido-opon fea
ture cannot bo au latme of this cam
paign, but will, lu all probability, be
an Issue of the next campaign when a
governor anil lentnhitiire will be chosen
with full power and authority.
What Is here snld with reference to
the omission of a special plank on the
primary applies equally to the other
platform omtxglons, and fully Justifies
the restriction of tho platform declara
tions to the two aubjecta of the Judi
ciary and university administration.
In this campaign the democrats are
trying to ride their candidates Into
office on a false pretense of non par
tisanship, but they havo been already
unmasked by the republicans who have
exposed the democratic Insincerity by
parading tho damning democratic rec
ord of hide-hound partisanship and
ravenoua spoils grabbing.
Labor Wanted in the West.
The east does not appear to have
grasped the real domain! for labor In
the west. Skilled labor lu the east Is
now fairly well employed, but there Is
wtlll a surplus of common labor In that
section which the wost wants as badly
aa the men need work. The labor has
not been transferred because an Idea
prevails tnat it is wanted for only a
brief time In the harvest Holds, after
which the meii would be left stranded.
In the first place. If the labor had
responded when the demand arose
there would have been at least four
months' work In the harvest field,
commencing In the south and moving
north. There la stl'l a considerable
demand, which will continue with
threshing aud corn gathering iuto the
winter.
Hut the harvest la not all of the de
mand for labor lu th west. Particu
larly In the far west railroad and Irri
gation work is haltlug for lack of the
klud of labor w hich Is Idle in the east
The cast docs not appear to be able
to realtte the great activity which ex
ist In th west today and by Ita short
atghted policy is keeping on Its own
hand Idle laborer lu are a burden.
If they could be net to work where
they are wanted It would speodily
solve one great difficulty In th Indue-
trlal situation.
Th anti-aaloouist resolved that
tbey would not ask to have the liquor

took them at their word, but now some

cause their wishes were respected

Th4 belief entertained outside of Eng
land that tha spasms of fear of Oerman
Invasion recently noted wer confined to
naval and military booster, to Industries
directly concerned and sensational news
papers, la confirmed by Oscar T.
Srhwerlner of th staff of th rterlln
Lokal-Antelger, who was commissioned
to travel over th country and ascertain at
first hand Pritlsh feeling toward Oermany.
In a series of letters to his paper, re
published by th Iondon Mali, Mr.
Schwerlner declares there are few trace
of anti-German feeling In the country at
large. Her and 'there, he says, a theatt r
or variety show baa seen fit to rattje
thn Jingo drum, but so far as he could
Judge sueh demonstrations of "patriotism"
even In southern England failed to elicit
any genuine enthusiasm, while In the
north they provoked actual Jeering. In
the Individual, no matter what might be
hla station In life, he never encountered
the slightest 111 feeling toward Oermany.
In all his wanderings through Kngland
not a single exception was met with. On
the other hand, the Oerman visitor fell
In with a multitude of people who were
outspoken in their admiration for his
country. Nevertheless, the decision of the
government to add four to this years
quota of rreadnaughta. making a total of
eight, .indicates a wholesome fear of Oer
man naval activity In quarters controlling
the purs strings, and a determination to
make the naval pace warm one fur tha
kaiser.

The personality of M. Brland. the new
premier of France, Is Interesting. He Is
one of the first lo fill this high office in
France who has no recollection of mon
archical conditions in that country. He
was a mcr child when the Franco-Prussian
war took place, and his outlook Is
not backward, but wholly forward. As a
very yoling man he was an enthusiast and
almost a visionary In his political Ideas,
but time and experience have tempered
and steadied his views. When the bill
which he rhnmploned four years ago was
In the throes of flerc debate an observer
described him hs "a parliamentary speaker
of the first class. Mild.' courteous,
liberal In his seeming, clear-voiced and
without rhetoric, making himself heard
anally In spit of his frail look, and, best
of atl, able to reason suddenly and lucidly
upon his legs w hen surprised by no matter
what puzzling questions. It Is he alone
who has made a continuation of the dis
cussion possible." Thus, whether hlR
policies should prove wise or otherwise,
they are not likely to fall for lack of
strong and clear presentation aud defense.

AX IMAGINARY OBJECTION.
Jaatlce lirener wad the Income Tat
. Amendment.
New York Tribune.
Justice Brewer objection to the Income
tax was put In those words In his speech
In Milwaukee: "Supposing congress sees
fit to levy taxes on all the income re
ceived from substantial, direct personal
property and real estate, what will the
states do lu rase they need lare sum
of money for their own revenue?" There
might be some force in the objection that
the Income tax amendment would practic
ally take away from th state a source
of revenue properly theirs and necessary to
them, If th states had found It necessary
to tax incomes, but they have not. and the
nation once haa. When Justice Brewer
raises the objection that th proposed
amendment to the constitution would de
stroy the vitality of the states by taking
away from them an Important sourc of
revenue he Is conjuring up a remote spec
ter. Crises that may face the national gov
ernment ar much mor severe and exigent
than any that the states are likely to
meet. The learned Justice s supposition
would be more In accordance with the real
ities If It were changed so oa to be: "Sup
pose the country confronted by another
emergency comparable to the civil war;
what would it do without th power to
tax incomes T"
Objections to the Income tax, except In
emergencies ar sufficiently real without
Invoking imaginary one. But if there Is
to be a reort to that form of taxation,
it had better be by the nation than by
the states. Taxation of Income by the
states would probably operate with great
Inequality and tend to b a good deal of
farce.

It has often been said, "We arc able
to fly now, and a thirty-six story steel
building is commonplace, but we can
not frame a picture as artistically aa
the old-timers."
This however, does not hold good la
Omaha for right here In Hospe's
Framer's Craft Shop picture frames
are built as Galneeborough, Van Dyks
and other old-time masters built
frames designed In accordance with
the sape, size, subject and coloring
Of the picture.
In Hospe's new "Framer's Craft
Shop" one has original sketches sub
mitted If desired harmonious com
binations of shapes and finishes will
be studied planned suggest ed so
as to best bring out the beauties of
your water color, oil paintings, etch
ing, photogravure, or photograph.
Truly, .this IS getting back to the
days of the old-timers, but "It's art for
art's sake," and the really artistic
ones simply MUST have frames other
than the tawdry every-day-sort-of-a-frame
that Is produced In never-ending
bunches In the big wholesales fac
tories. Knowing ones are experiencing un
limited pleasure In looking over sam

Includes those exquisite Egyptian
