Magnanimotii Mack and Murphy.
Chairman Mark and nns Murphy
have cracked the bent political JoKp of
the season In their assurance to the
publlo that they will not try to freeze
Bryan out of. the democratic pnrty.
othfng but the spirit of altruism
could prompt such magnanimous
action. Anyone can picture Mr. Bryan
aa he finally receives this bit of be
lated news that means ao much to his
future aa the quadrennial candidate of
his party for the presidency; see him
relapse from a state of tense ex
pectancy Into one of calm and peace
ful repose and consolation.
Before turning from the humor of
this situation, It should be observed
that with all their charitable Impulse,
Norman E. Mack and Charles F. Mur
phy decided not to freeze Mr. Bryan
out of the party only after they had
become satisfied that he would not at
tempt the leadership of the party
again, nor essay to run for president
n 1912. If Mack and Murphy believe
this, then, of course, It would be fool
ish for tbem to antagonize Mr. Bryan
any further by pretending to read him
out of the party. They would simply
be wasting ammunition that they will
need for other purposes and disrupt-
ng their ranks even more than they
are disrupted already. Divested of hla
relentless ambition and shorn of hla
power, Mr. Bryan would be no more
bjectlonable to them In the demo
cratic party than any other private in
dividual. Subdued and surrendered,
he might make a very agreeable mem
ber of their organization. And it is
only after viewing the matter from
this standpoint that one can appreciate
the magnificent concession Brothers
Mack and Murphy have made.
But more seriously, those who know
Mr. Bryan best will be slow to believe
that he has forsworn his political am
bitlon or decided to relinquish ; the
leadership of his party. Every move
he has made since his last defeat indi
cates that' he is only realigning his
forces for a new attack and strength
enlng his ranks for the next battle.
Canada and the Tariff.
Negotiations between the United
States and Canada over tariff 'conces
slons continue 'with Canada appar
ently in an obstinate mood. Canada
refuses to concede to us even prlvl
leges it accords to . France and Ger
many and maintains thia course with
out the least signs of yielding. Can
ada has had, the big end of the tariff
relations ever . since the year 1890.
The discrimination enjoyed' by Eng
land iasv made but little difference
and American exports to Canadian
markets 1 have continued to exceed
them all.
Canada has been known even to
take more than she is entitled to un
def out trade agreements. Her seal
ers have killed our seals, her railroads
have crossed anoVrecrossed our bound
ary line; paying but-alight attention
to the orders from the Interstate Com
merce commission and.'-'fcer ; shippers
have had the use of our ports and free
shipment of goods acrosB our frontier
Some of these' privileges Canadian
shippers can not well get along with
out and she before losing them would
make real concessions.
By the end of this month the max!
mum rate of our new tariff on Can
adian goods, shipped into the United
States, will go into effect unless lifted
by presidential proclamation. . The
added tariff duties will be calculated to
put pressure on our northern neigh
bor if left to take their course, but
while this Is going on a bitter feeling
would be aroused between the two
countries, which neither can afford to
Incite. It behooves us to use all possi
ble. diplomacy to avoid flctlon. and
maintain friendly Intercourse. Canada
has no right to ask of Us more than
she asks of European nations, but, on
the other hand, we cannot afford to be
unreasonable nor at the same time to
permit Canada to force a one-sided ex
change. '
Military and Public Highways.-
The recent debate in congress on
the use of convict labor to construct
the proposed military road between
Fort Leavenworth and Fort Rlloy, in
Kansas, has resolved itself into a dis
cussion of the value of rockbed high
ways for public traffic. .The advlsabil
ity and desirability of good roads
seems to have taken precedence in
this particular measure. Good roads
have proved to be an economic value
to the country and it only remains to
get them. AH the congressmen, -ap
parently, favor rockbed highways and
when they have been persuaded that
convict labor for road making is also
advisable they will become the most
ardent supporters of a nation-wide
good roada movement.
Figures are quoted to demonstrate
that it costs just half as much to mar
ket produce over macadam roads .as
it does over flay roads, such as are
quite common throughout this coun
try. European countries have long
recognized this; in fact, long before
even Roman times the rock road was
common and convicts and prisoners
were employed in their construction
With the advance of civilization and
its accompanying progress in the de
velopment of transportation facilities
the overland route bad fallen into dls
usa to a vary great extent. The auto
mobile, however, has emphasized
again the value of the road. both aa
means of travel and as a means of
transportation and there is a very
strong' Jlkellhood of this emphasis ex
tending to the military road as well
as to the publio highway.
' Aa an economic factor in our coun
try'a affairs good solid roadbeds are
more Important than most people real
lie Tremendous quantities of agrl
ultural products are to be moved an-
ually and travel Is constantly increas
ing. It now costs over $1,000,000,000
year to move our farm products to
the points of shipment over our or-
inary dirt roads. With paved road
ays It Is estimate that $500,000,000
cculd be saved annually on this haul
ing. That amount saved every year
ould soon pay for the constructs of
rock bed for every main traveled
road in the country.
John C. Calhoun.
The latest American to be honored
Ithln our national hall of fame is
he South Carolina statesman, John
Calhoun. Born during the closing
ays of the revolutionary war, of the
rugged stock of Scotch Highlanders,
an American in heart and a giant in
ability, he was of the fiber that made
our independence possible. Living in
the south, amidst customs, traditions
nd activities fostering extreme ideas
f states' rights, his motives and opln-
ons were naturally biased. uut,
though a champion of the states' rights
doctrine, he stands among our na
tion's great men in ability and sincer
ity of endeavor.
Two great figures in American his
tory tower above even the presidents
of our nation during their time, Dan-
el Webster and John C. Calhoun.
Champions in the conflict of those
earlier years, they fought the cause of
the north and the south with efforts
so gigantic as to dwarf contemporane
ous events. They embodied the spirit
of those years and, although Calhoun
lost, it was from the weakness of the
cause and not from inferiority of abil
ity. Realizing his defeat his heart
throbbed with fear for the people of
the south and as he closed hbt eyes in
the stupor preceding death he was
heard to murmur "The South! The
poor South! God knows what will
become of her."
In these days of peace and quiet
when sectional animosities are dying
out we can see with a clearer vision
that Calhoun, the southern statesman,
was patriotic even when mistaken. We
can acknowledge his 'ability, his cour
age and his conscientious devotion to
his principles. He was of a type of
American manhood deserving to rank
with the others given representation
n the national capitol, where the
greatest efforts of his life were made
A fitting tribute to him as a man and
a statesman was delivered by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, of the "Web
ster succession," in the senate when
the statue was received. Thus with a
touch of sentiment, deeply impressive,
the successor to his giant New England
antagonist pronounced the eulogy to
the genius and statesmanship of John
Calhoun of South Carolina.
Citizenship Once .More.
The Lincoln Journal persists in the
contention that we have "noncltlzen"
voters and that The Bee Is Indulging
in' verbal quibbles when it says that
the right to vote in Nebraska on so
called "first papers" is not conferred
on "noncitizens." ' "
The best authority on citizenship
is the United States supreme court
and nowhere has that court gone into
that subject more in detail, than in the
famous Boyd-Thayer case which .went
up from NebrasKa. in tno opinion
rendered the court held that Governor
Eoyd was entitled to his seat because,
as a citizen of Nebraska at the time
of Its admission into the union, he
thereby became a citizen of the United
States, irrespective of the final steps
of his father's naturalization. In that
case the court, among other things,
quotes Chief Justice Taney aa saying
We mimt not confound the rights of
citizenship which a state may Confer within
Its own limits and the rights of citizenship
as a member of the union. . It docs not by
any means follow, because be has all the
rights and privileges of a citizen of
state, that he must be citizen of the
United States. He may have all the rights
and privileges of the citizen of a state, and
yet not be entitled to the rights and
privileges of a citizen In any other state,
The court also there quotes with ap
proval the opinion in the Slaughter
house cases, which held that the first
clause in the fourteenth 'amendment
"recognized the distinction between
citizenship of a state and citizenship
of the United States."
No one will take issue with the
Journal In its assertion that the right
to vote is not a necessary part of the
right of citizenship. But in Nebraska
as in most states, the right to vote is
confined to citizens, and we have no
"noncltlzen" voters.
A terrlbie screech comes from the
local democratic organ over the pro
posed use of. the paper ballot instead
of the voting machine in the impend
ing South Omaha municipal election
The paper ballot was used In the lost

the democrats pulled out half of thel
ticket, while in the last county elec
tion in which the machines were used
the democrats lost everything. On
this basis me democrats nave no

However this may be, there Is another
Roosevelt for tho country and the world to
watch now.' lie Is out of tho Jungles.
This return to civilization will bring to
the front the Roosevelt who is a student

wide outlook upon the world and deep

of the honors Europe will shower upon htm

Spring- In Ireland.
Sweet spring, you are an Irish lass,
And wearing of the green,
Your Jeweled feet run o'er the grass
And gems by all are seen;
Rare diamonds and emeralds
You leave behind, my queen;
The Seventeenth of March will come
With wearing of the green.
Thrice welcome, darling of the yeaif.
Sweet colleen of the green.
The hearts of Irishmen you'll cheer
St. Patrick's tay, I ween.
Each son of Erin loves you.
They hall you as their queen.
And all the world Is happier
With wearing of the green.
For the winter days are over
And w4 tread the breathing od,
Irish soldier, Irish lover,
Of his country and his God.
To a martial air these verses
As the colors bright are seen.
The colors of old Ireland
That's the wearing of the green.

"Oh, then tell me, Shawn O'Farrell,
Tell me why you hurry so."
"Hush, ma bouchal, hush and listen!"
And his cheeks were all aglow;
"I bear orders for the Captain
Get you ready quick and soon;
, For the pikes must be together
At the risln of the moon!"
"Oh, then tell 'me, Shawn O'Farrell,
Where the gath'rln" Is to be."
"In the ould spot by the river.
Right well known to you and me.
One word more for signal token.
Whistle up the marchin' tune.
With your pike upon your shoulder.
By the risln' of the moon!" .
Out from many a mud-wall cabin
Kyea were watching thro' that night;
Many a manly heart was throbbing
For the blessed warning light.
Murmurs passed along the valleys
Like the banshee's lonely croon.
And a thousand blades were flashing
At the risln' of the moon.
There beside the singing river
That dark mass of men were seen
HlKh above the shining weapons
Hung their own Immortal Green.
"Death to every foe and traitor!
Forward! Strike the marchin' tune.
And hurrah, my boys, for freedom!
'TIs the risln' of the moon."
Well they fought for poor old Ireland,
And full bitter waa their fate.
(Oh! what glorious pride and sorrow
Fill the name of Nlnety-elght!
Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating
Hearts In manhood's burning noon
Who would follow In their footsteps

"The Wearing of the Green."
Oh, Paddy, dear, and did you hear the news
that s goin rouno.
The shamrock Is forbid, by law, to grow
on Irish ground;
St. Patrick's Lay no more we'll keep, his
colors can't be seen,
For there's a bloody law agin' the Wearing
of the Oreen:
I met with Napper Tandy and he tuk me
by the hand.
And he said: "How's poor ould Ireland,
and how does she stand 7"
She's the most distressful country that
vr vnii have seen:
They're hanging men and women there for
Wearing of tne ureen.
Then since the color we must wear Is Eng

Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er for&et tfie

uoneral A. W. Greely writes from Flor
ence, Italy, a sweet-tempered letter about
his own promotions In the army and his
honors at the hand of congress by reason
of his Arctic Journeys. He never had any
promotions nor any honors from that body
because he was a distinguished Arctic ex
plorer. Congress never recognized him as
a polar hero. But, he adds amiably, "the
failure of congress to recognize my Arctic
services, which received the highest
European honors, was never personally crit
icised and did not embitter me." And the
general says ne hopes that congress will
honor Mr. Peary In some suitable way.

OLD IRELAND.
Far hence amid an Isle of wondrous beauty.
Crouching over-a grave an ancient sorrow
ful mother.
Once a queen, now lean and tatter'd, seated
on the ground.
Her old .white . hair, drooping . dlshevel'd -
, round her shoulders, . ,
At her feet, fallen an unused royal harp.
Long silent, che too- long silent, mourning
her shrouded hope and holr,
Of all the earth her henrt most full of
sorrow because most full of love.
Yet a word, ancient mother:
You need crouch there no longer on the
cold ground with forehead between" your
knees;
O you need not sit thero vell'd in your old
white hair so dlshevel'd,
For know you tho one you mourn Is not In
that grave;
It was an HluHion, the son you love was
not really dead.
The Lord Is not dead. He Is risen again,
young and strong, In another country.
Even while you wept there by your fallen
harp by the grave,
What you wept for was translated, paSs'd
from the grave;
The winds favor'd and the sea sall'd it;
And now, with rosy and new blood,
Moves today In a new country.
