World-Herald. October tn.
More "nulliflers" and more "nulli
fication!" Section 1 of the Corrupt Practices
act of Nebraska makes It a misde
meanor, punishable by a fine not less
than $50 or Imprisonment In the
county Jail not to exceed a period of
six months, for any candidate by him
self or by or through any agent or
agents, committee or organization,
person or persons, to do the following
things:
First Furnish pay for. or engage to
pay for. any entertainment to any meet
ing of electors previous to or during an
election, at which lie is a candidate.
Pecond Olve away, or treat to any
drinks, cigars or other refreshments.
If Chairman Reagan spent demo
cratic committee money for "oodles of
refreshments" with which to entertain
voters In the Interest of the democratic
office-seekers he put bimsclf in the
row of "nulllflers," who must be black
listed on the scrolls of democratic re
form. Here again we see that the dis
tressing solicitude of the democrats to
enact laws regulating and restricting
questionable practices In political cam
paigns has nothing to do with demo
cratic Observance of them.
Great is "nullification" when prac
ticed by democrats!
Judge Jacob Fawcett.
While all three of the republican
nominees for supreme Judge are enti
tled to unqualified support on the rec
ords they have made as efficient mem
bers of the court, the peopje of Omaha,
and of this judicial district, as friends
and neighbors of Jacob Fawcett,
should take a special interest in his
candidacy.
It Is a strange but none the less his
toric fact that for more than twenty
five years Omaha has been denied the
privilege of furnishing a single mem
ber on the state supreme bench. The
last supreme Judge hailing from
Omaha was Judge Lake, who retired
in 1883, and from that day until Judge
Fawcett qualified as supreme Judge no
one from Omaha was permitted to oc
cupy a seat on that bench.
Judge Fawcett is the only candidate
running who has ever been personally
Identified With the people and interests
of this city and county, and If the truth
were known what little opposition has
been stirred up against him might be
traced to artificial and groundless
prejudice against Omaha of which the
democratic opposition is seeking to
take advantage. He is an old soldier
who enlisted In the union -army when
a mere boy. He was elected and re
elected to the district bench In this dis
trict, serving eight years. He was
twice appointed member of the su
preme court commission by unanimous
vote of the judges, once while Judge
Holcomb was still one of the throe
judges.
When the court was enlarged Judge
Fawcett was appointed to one of the
vacant judgeships by Governor Shel
don, and in the subsequent, conflict
over appointing power was again ap
pointed by Governor Shallenberger. If
the democrats professing fealty to the
Idea of nonpartisanshlp were really
sincere they would have endorsed the
selection of their democratic governor
and would now be supporting Judge
Fawcett instead of opposing him. The
refusal of the democrats to accept their
own governor's appointee convicts
them of using the mask of nonpartlsan-
ship against him for purely partisan
purposes.
Judge Fawcett received a handsome
vote in the recent primary election in
Omaha and Douglas county and his old
judicial district, where he is best
known, and he should again receive at
the coming election the recognition due
him in the form of a decisive majority
along with his two associates on the
ticket. Judge Barnes and Judge Sedg
wick. Food for the Multitude.
Once more we behold James J. Hill
in the role of alarmist over the food
supply, bewailing "What shall we do to
be fed?" Mr. Hill's particular fear is
that first wheat and then other staples
will become so far Inadequate that we
ehall not be able to secure sufficient
distribution, nor to pay prevailing
prices. He estimates a tremendous
shortage within the near future, and
warns the nation that It Is coming to
a dearth unless It ceases careless and
wasteful methods, and lifts agriculture
to its proper dignity and full develop
ment. In the meantime changes in condi
tions are being met by the agricultur
ists as fast as they present themselves.
The old prodigal treatment of the land
common in the early western days has
been abandoned, and farmers every
where are husbanding their resources
end concentrating their endeavors. Irri
gation is opening up new areas, dry
farming Is gaining steadily, and men
are more and more developing scientific
and intensive methods of soil cultiva
tion. With the growth of population,
agriculture Is receiving-increased at
tention, and if ever the people should
fiud themselves facing so calamitous
a problem as that depicted by Mr. Hill,
it is safe to assume that as a matter of
self' preservation they would all be
come tillers of the soil rather than
perish because it is not being tilled to
the utmost. Every little while some
prophet arises with the announcement
that natural supplies are about to give
out, but for ages the earth has proved
the elasticity of lis resources, and man
has demonstrated his ability to produce
a food supply equal to his needs.
The School Board.
Four members of the Omaha Board
of Education are to be elected tomor
row for a term of three years, eventu
ally to constitute one-third of the
board. As every one at all conversant
with public affairs knows, the Board of
Education has complete control of the
sdmlnlotration of our public schools
and has ben spending In the neighbor
hood of $1,000,000 a year proceeds of
taxes and bond sales.
It goes without saying that the edu
cation of all the children of the com
munity depends on the efficiency of the
public schools. In point of character
and qualification the school board can
didates on the republican ticket Rre
head and shoulders above their oppo
nents on the democratic ticket. These
candidates are:
First Ward Charles R. Parsons.
Second Ward Dr. K. Holovtrhiner.
Third Ward Henry 1. Plumb.
Fourth Ward Charles R. Courtney.
While the candidates must be chosen
one each from the four first wards,
they are to be voted on throughout the
city. Pulling the tepubllcan lever will
safeguard the Interests of the public
schools by electing these men.
The Sheriff.
Very recent events have emphasized
to our people the Importance of the
office of sheriff. The sheriff Is the law
officer of the county, and as such
shares with the police, In times of ex
traordinary turbulence, responsibility
for protecting life and property.
Our present sheriff, E. F. Brailey,
has proved to be a faithful and trust
worthy public servant. He has been re
nominated on the republican ticket and
ought to be, and will be, re-elected if
the people who want law and order
maintained do their duty.
The fact should be realized by every
one that the only concerted opposition
to Sheriff Brailey's re-election comes
from those who want to rebuke him
for doing his duty as a law officer dur
ing the late Btreet car strike. The
democratic candidate has been tosi-ed
over the transom, and the strikers, and
those whom they influence, are exert
ing themselves to center their votes on
the socialist candidate, who is one of
their number. If they could eloct a
sheriff of their- own they would thereby
serve notice on all public officers that
their political future depended ou com
pliance with orders of the strike com
mittee. More than this, the plan con
templates a re-openlng of the street
car, strike in the event of the capture
of the sheriff's office.
Every man, woman and child in
Omaha who wants to be safe on the
public streets Is vitally Interested In
the election of Sheriff Brailey by an
increased majority. . i: ,v, .
i Voices of the Spirits.
' One of the most sensational testi
monies in the current revival of super
natural manifestations Is -the assertion
of William T. Stead, the veteran Lon
don editor, that he has been receiving
communications from the spirit world
In the voice of Gladstone, whom he
knew In the flesh, giving political ad
vice concerning the pending budget.
Mr. Stead has been so long a pro
nounced devotee of psychical research
that the skeptical may be forgiven If
they suspect deception, but the editor's
contribution comes at a time when
mankind is stirred by many Inexplica
ble demonstrations.
The fact that Ferrer has not yet ful
filled his promise, made a short time
time before his recent death, to com
municate from his future state through
the celebrated Mme. Faladlno, is being
utilized by scoffers, but a committee
of scientists is about to test Mme.
Paladlno to determine whether she is
a trickster, and believers argue that It
may be that Ferrer is conscious of this
and is awaiting the presence of the re
nowned investigators to confute the
opponents of spiritualism.,
The "animal magnetism" which has
been recognized of late among some of
the mental healing factionists, !s an
other form of occult transfer of
thought and Influence, which serves to
augment the day's discussion. Alto
gether, the popular Imagination is
stirred by the mystery of all this spir
itualistic revival as it had not generally
been since the days of the much
debated Fox sisters.
The Craze in Cotton.
Speculation in cotton has reached
a point amounting to a mania, with
quotations at astonishing figures and
feverishly mounting upward. Manu
factories In the south have begun to
shut down and those of the north will
follow suit as soon as their old stock
is exhausted, because the speculative
price of the raw commodity has
reached a prohibitive point which the
finished product cannot attempt to fol
low. In some respects the craze in cotton
has become as irrational as the cele
brated tulip craze in Holland early in
the seventeenth century, when single
bulbs sold for such fabulous prices as
$5,200 before the speculation subsided
with widespread ruin. The manufac
turers of cotton goods are a unit In
their refusal to buy until prices ma
terially fall, yet with the market closed
against them the profit-mad specula
tors gamble for greater gains, dream
ing of record fortunes.
The mill owners seo in this mania
nothing but folly and loss for the many
who are being baited on by the few
who will reap a vast harvest before
the bubble breaks and distress for the
thousands of operatives thrown out of
work. Some of the most conservative
of the manufacturers are seriously dis
cussing the possibility of some iudivid-
ual like J. p. Morgan becoming per
sonal dictator of the entire cotton in
dustry, so that by a word of refusal or
command he could end the speculative
fluctuations from which the trade has
long suffered.
President Taft'a comment on th
broad, liberal tolerance manifested by
the religious Interests of New Orleans,
comes with particular force at a mo
ment, when Episcopalians and Congre
gattonalists are planning a union.
Bishop Hall's proposal to surrender
the thirty-nine articles and sink the
ldtntity of his denomination for the
sake of a merger into one catholic,
apostolic faith, Is being met by the
Congregationalisms , half way, and it
would seem as though the projected
union might not be so visionary after
all. Non-church-goers long have argued
that the bewildering prevalence of dif
fering denominations was one of the
reasons why American cities had so
many inhabitants with no church af
filiation. Many strong leaders in the
cause of religion appear to be coming
to a common ground, Out of which
union and consequent strength may be
evolved.
The democratic World-Herald tries
to put those bogus circulars onto C. O.
Whedon. Whatever else may be said
of Mr. Whedon, even by those who dis
agree with him, he Is not subject to the
charge of being two-faced. Mr. Whe
don was the lawyer who made and won
the case on the so-called nonpartisan
Judiciary law; he presided over the last
republican state convention, and he is
now a member of the republican state
committee. If Mr. Whedou were going
to fight any of the republican judicial
candidates he would fight tn the open
and not from ambush.
The only thing missing from the
present Nebraska campaign, which en
velopes it in doubt. Is the usual rear
platform speech-making tour of Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan this
years seems to have put $200 into the
political pot In the cause of democratic
nonpartisanshlp and bottled up his ora
tory, evidently Imbued with the Idea
that his money would do more good
than his talk. At any rate, no matter
what happens, it can't be blamed on
Mr. Bryan's speeches this time.
Now that Mr. Plnchot baa made It
clear that he is friendly to private cap
ital in the field : of. legitimate ex
ploitation of water power under gov
ernment control. It Is again apparent
that he has no real conflict with Mr.
Ballinger. The public is but just get
ting a full understanding of the atti
tude of these two' aealoua men, on
which Mr. Taft based his conclusion
that both were rlgh..
One of the democratic nonpartisan
candidates for supreme judge waa ap
pointed to a supreme bench vacancy
last Decembernook the oath of office,
qualified and. heard cases along with
the other judges, and then resigned the
next day. What is to stop him if
elected now from resigning again? In
the language of Mr. Bryan, "How can
anyone tell when such a vacillating
Judge 1b going to change his mind?"
Several bond propositions are to be
voted on at the impending election.
The park bonds and the library bonds
seem to be without ppposltlon. The
fire engine house bonds have the empty
fire engine houses last erected staring
them in the face. ;
It Is the argument that one might
expect from the, logicians of the col
legiate athletic boards that because
people get drowned every year It Is
quite the thing to keep on breaking
students' legs and ribs on the gridiron.

Army Gossip
Matters of Xataravt Oa and Back
of tbe rtrtaf Un Oleaaea froaa
tke Army aaa ITavy Begtatar.
The chief signal officer of the army Is
arranging for the Installation of annun
ciator huner systems at target ranges at
Kort D. A. rtuasetl. Vyo.; Fort Kthan
Allen. Vt.: Fort Niagara. N. Y. ; Fort
Ieavenworth, Kan.; Fort Riley. Kan.:
Fort Sam Houston. Tex.; Fort Sheridan,
111.: Presidio of Monterey. Cal., and Fort
William McKlnley. I. 1. The system Is a
necessity on the large and important tar
get ranges of the army; will provide a
means of Instantly Indicating from the
firing point to the marker in the pit the
target that ha been fired at. and will
avoid the loss of time and labor caused by
the methods now in use.
The depot quartermaster has advertised
for a large amount of fire protection ap
paratus, for the various posts In the army.
The advertisement covers the require
ments for the new fire apparatus required
during the fiscal year and Is made up from
the consolidated estimates Vreceived from
the departments. The advertisement In
cludes thirty-four chemical engines, eleven
gasoline engines, forty hose reels, twenty
four hook and ladder trucks, TM ladders,
twelve to forty-eight feet In length; 2.845
huckets, Sf5 axes, 1,8M extengulshers. J7.380
feet hose, two and one-half-lnch; one hose
wagon and chemical engine.
The favorable Impression entertained by
army headquarters In charge of construc
tion at military posts respecting concrete
construction has been confirmed by obser
vation and experience. The first work
of this sort was Included In the quarters
and barracks under construction at Fort
Howard, Md., which are of reinforced con
crete throughout, with hollow walls, double
floors and ceilings, and as nearly fireproof
as it Is possible to make such buildings.
Practically the only wood In the barracks
are the doors and windows. Since then
similar work has been provided in the
construction of new buildings at Forts Still,
Missoula and Crockett, and has been
adopted exclusively for buildings In the
Philippines.
The unusual situation is presented to a
retired army officer, who resides in Colo
rado and who desires to ally himself with
the stute nillltla. It becomes necessary,
under the state law. In accepting such an
office for the retired army officer to en
list In the Colorado organlxajtlon. The
legality of such a proceeding has been the
subject of official consideration tn the War
department, with the result that it Is de
cided there Is no bar under the statute to
the enlistment In the organized militia of
Colorado of the army officer who Is on the
retired list of the regular establishment.
It may be a question of policy and tt Is
pointed out that the enlistment should be
coupled with the condition annulling the
enlistment should the officer fall to pass
the qualifying evamlnatlon for the other
position.
The quartermaster general's office Is In
dustriously engaged In carrying out the
policy of lighting by electricity every army
post In the United States aa rapidly as
possible. This work Is being done as funds
are available for the purpose and some
eighty posts In this country are now
lighted by electricity, the rate of Installa
tion being five or six systems a year. The
Quartermasters encounter a great deal of
pressure f6r Installation 'of new and ex
tension of existing electric lighting sys
tems, and strong representations are con
stantly being made to this end. The de
partment Is doing what It can to meet this
demand from available appropriations.
Keven posts are wholly or partly lighted
by gas, and two by acetylene gas. and
sixty-four posts and stations In the United
States, Porto Rico, and Alaska are lighted
by mineral oil lamps.
An action has been taken by the War de
partment in the matter of winter target
practice, which will probably do away with
that particular work. It has been found
necessary to omit winter firing In target
praqtlce at many of the posts In the United
States not equipped with their own target
ranges. It Is also observed that a strict
construction of the provision of the require
ments embodied in G. O. 177. War Depart
ment, MOT, would require men In the tropics
to wear overcoats when firing. No benefit
Is derived from winter practice In the
tropics and It is held that the same can
ba said practloally for winter practice In
th southern portion of the United States.
It is believed that very little, if any, ma
terial benefit has been derived from winter
practice generally. This practice was first
prescribed In our service about four years
ag by Instructions received from the presi
dent and has never been incorporated In the
small arms firing regulations. The pres
ent orders require the full field kit to be
carried during winter practice. Instruction
in firing- with the full field kit Is provided
for among the regulations governing field
firing required in the service by the pro
visional small arms firing manual. Further
more, post commanders are held respon
sible for the efficiency of their command
In field practice and as they fix the time
for the supplementary season aa to have
practice under winter conditions if they
deem It desirable.
DEMOCRATIC DISORGANIZATION.
Secretary Dlcktason and tke Teanes
Wf Scaatarshla.
Springfield Republican
Nothing would better demonstrate the
singular state of disorganization in the
democratic party than the election of Sec
retary Dickinson to the United States sen
ate by the democrats of Tennessee. Mr.
Dickinson is a member of a republican
cabinet, in the service of a republican ad
ministration, yet evidently he has enough
encouragement in Tennessee to warrant his
public statement announcing himself us a
passive candidate. Says the secretary:
"If it should appear to me. aa has been
urged, that my candidacy would be the
means of unifying present warrylng fac
tions in the democratic party, I should
consider it my duty to sink personal In
riinalions and accept the situation, though
my present position aa secretary of war
would prevent my making any unseemly
scramble for the place." The remarkable
aspect of the statement la that the candi
dacy of a secretary of war in a republican
administration might be the means of unl
fying warring factions in the democratic
party. Tennessee must be the most non
partisan of atates to contemplate auch a
solution of her senatorial problem, and
congratulations will be sincere if she
chooses simply' an able man to the office
without regard to his party regularity. If
Mr. Dickinson goes from the cabinet to the
senate, however, will he Join the adminis
tration party or the opposition? He would
be In an Ideal position to serve aa an In
dependent.

COHI.VU JAI'AlSKSrJ VISITORS.
Stop at Omaha Provokes Some Knvl
ona Remarks.
Des Moines Register and Leader.
Announcement that the delegation repre
senting the commercial Intereats of Japan
will visit Omaha, Neb., on November 13,
has led to natural Inquiry as to the reason
Des Moines does not enjoy the honor of
entertaining these dlstnngulahed visitors.
The government was wise enough to select
an Iowa man, Jackson Elliott, to represent
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
In welcoming the delegation on Its arrival
to this country at Seattle a few weeks ago.
Certainly the delegation will go back, to
Japan Ignorant of the bent the whole
country affords If It doesn't tarry In Iowa
and Des Moines.
Out in Omaha they plan a delightful
surprise for the visitors. With that dis
regard for convention which to the stranger
Is Indicative merely of chestlness but In
which Americans strangely take a certain
pride as evidence of superiority and Inde
pendence, everywhere our people have
greeted tlje visitors as "Japs." Tills has
not been altogether pleasant to the Japa
nese, but their suavity and urbanity have
not abated one whit on that account;
however, Omaha has calculated with
nicety that If the word "Jap" can be ta
booed In that city for the day of the visit,
the delegation may report to Japan that
the center of real culture In the United
States after all is in Nebraska. It Is pos
sible to gain understanding of the feeling
of the visitors by putting one's self In their
place. If a delegation of American finan
ciers and business men, of serious mind
and bent on a serious mission were to go
visiting only to be greeted as "Yanks" or
by another nickname, it would bo humiliat
ing to the guests and leave with them a
bad Impression, bound to offset, somewhat,
the effect of their Investigation. But the
Japanese visitors do not have to go to
Omaha to receive dignified consideration.
They Bhould stop in Des Moines.
