The Unpardonable Sin.
Here are two quotations from two
distinguished democrats which .may
possibly throw an illuminating glare
on the internecine war now waging In
the democratic fold. The first is from
Mr. Bryan's speech before the demo
cratic County convention at Lincoln, in
which, among other things, be said,
referring to the 1908 presidential cam
paign: In Missouri I lost by too votes and t.ie
Influence of the liquor association Is
enough to account for that. Oo Into In
diana, where a democratic governor and
legislature were elected, and Into Ohio,
where the democratic candidate for gov
ernor was elected, where the antagonism
of the brewers to the national ticket was
sufficient to prevent our carrying the
state. In New York they Were for Taft
and Chanlor, and they had their agents
on the street Instructing men to vote
that way. In Nebraska theyv would have
carried the state against me if thousands
of republicans out of state pride, had not
given me their votes. "
The second is from the written
statement given out by Governor Bhal
lenberger, In which he declares:
I received more votes when I was
elected than any o.ner candidate ever re
ceived in Nebraska for any office except
President Roosevelt In the campaign of
1904.
Here we have the unpardonable sin
laid bare, which completely over
shadows "the moral question" in
volved in Mr. Bryan's crusade for
county option. . Governor Shallen
berger got more votea than Mr. Bryan
did, although the latter carried Ne
braska, as he says, because of repub
lican votes cast for him "out of state
pride." In Ohio Mr. Taft carried his
own state, but, according to Mr.
Bryah, that must be charged up, not
to democrats voting out of state pride,
but to democrats bought up by liquor
dealers' boodle.
Mr. Bryan knows as well as he
knows anything that he carried his
own state of Nebraska In 1908 by a
scratch because of only two things-
first, that bare-faced fraud perpe
trated by misbranding his democratic
presidential electors with the populist
label, thus stealing the votes that be
longed to "Tom" Watson, and second,
the money and votes poured in for the
straight democratic ticket by the brew
ers and liquor interests. Without
these two great "moral" forces all the
state pride votes ho got would not
have saved Nebraska to him.
Incidentally we may possibly have
here, also, the explanation of Mr.
Bryan's hostile attitude toward Gov
ernor Harmon, whom he has notified
to "stand aside." Governor Harmon,
running on the same ticket, got more
votes in Ohio than did Mr. Bryan, and
there is no penalty severe enough to
fit that crime.
Taking Eoosevelt'i Advice.
Great Britain evidently did more
than merely wince at Colonel RooBe
velt's criticisms of its work in Egypt.
It seems to have received those criti
cisms very seriously and indeed one
has a perfect right, in the light of cur
rent events, to inquire if it has not de
cided to act upon them.
What does the proposed displacement
of Sir Eldon Gorst by Lord Kitchener
as the British agent in Egypt indicate,
If not that Great Britain means to gov
ern with a firmer hand in this ancient
country T Lord Kitchener, if he is
finally appointed, is to be clothed with
largo powers, and ho is not the man
to rule with a gloved hand. Whether
it will be the mailed fist or. not re
mains to be seen, but the man whp has
brought such distinction to British
arms believes in emphatic authority.
The recent execution of the assassin
of the former premier, Butros Pasha,
is taken by those critics of the situa
tion as reflecting Britain's complete
determination to make Its power more
assertive in Egypt It must be re
membered that for a time it appeared
that the premier's assassin would go
unpunished. It was in fact this possi
bility that provoked some of the
strong utterances on the part ' ot
Colonel Roosevelt.
Thus far has Britain shown itself
acutely sensible to the need for vig
orous action and it has seemingly
turned a deaf ear to the deprecating
cry that tightening Its grip on power
in Egypt would be stultification of the
principle of popular government or
autonomy. So far as that Is con
cerned, no matter what Americans
may think on the subject, Britain has
never yet admitted that Egypt was
ready for complete self-government.
For a Practical Monument.
King George V is said to be even
more democratic in his private and
official conduct than was his illustri
ous father, King Edward VII, and
early In his reign he is dispelling all
doubt of his ability and disposition to
maintain the liberal policies which
characterised the rule of the late mon
arch and made him popular at borne
and abroad.
The new sovereign evidently be
lieves that a straight line Is the short
est distance between two given points,
for he is cutting out all frills and fash
ions and going straight to the heart of
every question that comes before him.
In one of his recent public acts he sets
an example which might well be emu
lated in the United states. When the
matter of a monument to the memory
of King Edward was broached the new
ruler told his people that in his Judg
ment the best and most enduring moo
ument to be erected would be the
raising of a fun of 5,000,000 to
place the hospitals of Great Britain
on a satisfactory basis, and it appears
this will be done.
Five million pounds approximately
124.000,000 would build a fine
statue of marble or granite, or even
gold, and It would stand for ages as a
sign for the perpetuation of the mem
ory of Britain's king, but It would be
folly to try to measure Its tangible
value or practical utility with the re
sults accomplished by the expenditure
of the same amount of money in the
hospitals of the empire. Here is a
monument which not only exalts the
glory of the late monarch and the peo
ple's love for him, but that offers sub
stantial help for the living as well as
Intangible tribute to the dead.
The monument habit has grown
on Americans too much in lato years.
We often cheapen our homage for true
patriots for setting up statues to men
patriots for setting up statues to men of
mediocre fame, at the same time put
ting large sums of money into "stor
ied urns" or "animated busts" that
might better be invested In something
like that suggested by King George of
England.
A Perverted Idea.
. That is a peculiar notion of rep
resentative government cropping out
in Mr. Bryan's defiant declaration to
Lancaster county democrats that if
they did not send him as one of their
delegates to the Grand Island conven
tion he would seek appointment as
delegate from some other county.
In Great Britain a man may sit In
Parliament for a constituency, which
he has never seen, but in this country
the theory of our government is that a
representative of a legislative or con
gressional district, or of the state,
must be an elector of the district for
which he is commissioned to speak
For this reason a member of the leg
islature who moves out of his district
forfeits his position as a law-maker.
The same rule has been applied al
most invariably to political organlza
tlons, the purpose being to forestall
carpet-bagging and to prevent misrep
resentation by outside Interlopers. If
Mr. Bryan, running for state conven
tion delegate, were turned down In his
home county he would have no more
business to foist mmseir upon some
other county than he would have to
run for United States senator from
Texas or Oklahoma, where chances of
success might look better.
The very suggestion, however, re
flects the perverted ideas of govern
ment with which Mr. Bryan is impreg
nated and which every little while ex
pose the yellow streak in spite of him.
After Diaz, What T
Porfirio Diaz, has Just entered upon
another six years as president of Mex
ico, and if he should serve but this
term he would be 86 years old, with
thirty-six years of that time spent as
the chief executive of his country.
The first question that naturally
arises at this time 1b, What has Diaz
to show for his remarkably long
tenure of office, which has amounted
to almost a one-man power for thirty
years? Undoubtedly he has brought
his country up to a much higher stand
ard of political, industrial and social
life than It occupied when he seized
tne reins or government and, it may
be admitted, than it would have occu
pied had another than him ruled. Bui
withal this progress if Diaz were to
die tomorrow it is doubtful If another
man could be found in the republic
with all the requisite resources to take
his place, counting popular influence
as one of these essentials. The weak
ness of the Diaz reign has been its ap
parent strength; Mexico was lost In
Diaz, Diaz is Mexico.
But, of course, no man is indis
pensable and the southern republic
would not be long in finding a new
leader were it to lose its present one
as in the nature of things It must be
fore many years, but before it found
that new leader It might have to pass
through the crucible of a revolution
An incipient revolt presaged Diaz
latest victory at the polls and but for
his excessive power would have devel
oped. With the advance of years the
conviction naturally grows In the
minds of anti-Diaz men that the old
warrior whose battles began against
Santa Ana is gradually losing his
grip and that 'this is the signal for
them to tighten theirs, so that when
the crisis comes they will be ready to
Jump into the breach and take advan
tage of every inch of ground possible
The Latin race has not been quick
to assimilate the principles of democ
racy and it will not do for anyone to
Indulge the fantastic theory that be
cause Mexico goes by the name of
republic that a large proportion of its
people are not still ready to try issues
with this modern form of government
The scramble for Diaz's shoes when It
comes is quite likely to bring all this
out too plainly for dispute.
The news that the big trees In Gen
eral Grant park, California, have been
spared from, the forest fire will be joy
fully received all over the country
This park, containing the very biggest
of the big trees, Is one of Nature's
grandest beauty spots, and its destruc
tion would be a real disaster. Many
people make the mistake that the big
gest trees are those in the Mariposa
grove In Yosemlte valley. Not bo, the
biggest are in the Grant park on the
line of Tulare and Fresno counties.
"People of America don't like the
strenuous life, they don't like the effi
clent life or the simple life. They
like the easy life." This is what the
minister said whom Colonel Roosevelt
heard preach Sunday and the reports
are that the colonel did not seem to
take it to himself. Probably like the
rest of us could not tell what the
minister meant.
If Governor Shallenberger would
tell about his own personal experience
In getting the stuff to wet his whistle
after 8 o'clock In various Nebraska
towns, including Lincoln and Omaha,
he might give substantial help to the
authorities charged with law enforcement
Why does Governor Shallenberger
bawl out the Dahlman club for vio
lating the lld-closlng law and say noth
ing about the other clubs? is it be
cause Mayor "Jim" is trying to take
the governorship nomination away
from him?
The suggestion is not out of order
that we begin to pray now that the
streets which our paving contractors
have torn up may be restored to
traffic by the time Colonel Roosevelt
arrives in September.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
effected more than $10,000,000 re
duction in the postal deficit la "the
first nine months of the present year,
which Is another awful blow to the
political enemy.
Another Omaha man has made a
rich gold find. But the subject is still

Knocking Foot Ball Bratsera.
s Baltimore American.
The president of Deland Stanford univer.
slty denounces foot ball as a combination
of pure brutality and pugilism. With prize
fighting virtually doomed, and the senti

annually costs more Uvea than pugilism.
AIR STILL TJJVCONtlUERED.
Upper Carrents Hopelessly Beyond
Man'a Control.
New York Bun.
It Is said that the prospects of an early
resumption of the airship Deutschland'a
passenger service are not bright. We really
doubt If any person; except the Indomitable
Zeppelin himself and his hardy mechanics
will venture to make another "three-hour"
exourslon In it unless guaranteed against
contact with rude-winds and what profes
sional weather forecaster Is skilled . In the
upper currents?
. Man has learned to fly that !s to say,
he has Invented and operates machines that
fly but he has not charted the air. He was
so eager to experiment with his dirigible
and aeroplane, fitted wnn gasolene motors
which had revolutionizes; aeronautics, that
he neglected to study the elements In which
his work was to be done, In which he might
have to pay the penalty of Ignorance with
his life.
With kites carrying anemometers Prof.
Abbott Lawrence Rotch made tests of air
velocities at different heights from his ob
servatory at Blue Kill, near Boston, several
years ago. By measuring sailing clouds
triganometrically from a base line he ascer
tained their velocity at heights of more
than six miles. Pilot balloons were sent up;
one was observed at an elevation of more
than eleven miles. The air on Blue Hill
has a mean velocity for the year of 15.8
miles an hour and Prof. Rotch calculated
the averages at various heights as follows:
At 500 meters, or one-third of a mile above
sea level, 8.8 meters a second, or 21.8 miles
an hour; 1,000 meters, 10.7 meters a second;
2,600 meters, 12.5 meters a seoond; 3,500
meters, 15.5 meters a seoond; 6,400 meters.
U.9 meters a second; 6,400 meters, 27.1
meters a seoond, and 8,500 meters (six
miles), 35.8 meters a seoond, or 80.8 miles
an hour. He also established the fact that
the voluolty of the upper winds In winter is
more than doublo that in summer, as high,
Indeed, as 223 miles an hour.
Prof. Rotch concludes, therefore, that
"the currents in the various levels of the
atmosphere are of vastly more Importance
to the aeronaut than re the ooean cur
rents or surface winds to the sailor." At
high levels it Is evident that no airship
could live, and as the air is more unstable
than the sea, the navigator, unless the
signs are plain and to. be read in the move
ment and gathering of clouds, can never
be sure how long the winds will be kind
to him. There are days when they are laid.
and serenity is assured so long as the sky
is bare of clouds. He may cast off and soar
and sail to his heart's oontent, although
even then he must have a care not to rise
too far Into the unknown. At other times,
In an element so uncertain and that may
be gauged by so few visible signs, how Is
he to know what fate to expect with no
saving medium like the substantial sea be
neath his keel? To speak of man as con
quering tho air is therefore mere poetry.

Army Gossip
Matters of tateres Oa and Sleek
of the rlrlag Xdae Oleaass from
the Army ana BTavy Seriate.
The result of the graduating examination
of this year's class of the army school of
the line at Fort Leavenworth whloh class
was composed of thirty-six student officers
has been announced. The five honor
graduates of the year are Captain James
W. McAndrcw, Third infantry; Captain
Kdgar T. Collins, Sixth Infantry; Captain
Harold B. Flike, Twenty-eighth infantry;
Captain Laurence Halstead, Sixth Infantry,
and Captain Palmer E. Pierce. Thirteenth
Infantry. These officers, following the
practice In such eases of honor graduation,
will attend the staff college at Fort Leav
enworth. Very gratifying reports ars reaching the
War department from the army officers
who have gone to the camps In various
parts of the country In anticipation ot the
summer's work with the regular Infantry
foroe and the organised militia. The militia
commands which are on the ground have
manifested a keen interest In the work snd
there Is a better spirit than has been In
dicated hitherto In the program. The wis
dom of establishing these biennial encamp
ments is shown In the increased activity
and greater intelligence on .the part of the
militia officers. The difficulty will ba to
get enough work in the knotted period to
be of lasting benefit to the muitia per
sonnel, but it Is agreeable to note that
there Is a desire on the part of militia
officers to derive all the benefits possible
from the advantages afforded them.
The comments of all the bureau ohlefs
on the new Infantry eaulpment have been
submitted to the chief of staff of the army
and referred to the special board which
will take up the reports in connection with
a final recommendation as to the adoption
of the various articles proposed by tne
board of which Colonel Henry A. Green,
Tenth infantry, was president and which
was In sessln for a year or more at Rock
Island in a very sucoessful effort to re
duce the burden of the foot soldier. The
most extensive comment made on the
equipment is that of the quartermaster
v An Ami. Tha auuiDment. as a whole, meets
with approval. In some instances, it Js a
matter of deferred adoption, ot certain
articles to replace material which Is now
in atopic and which, it is maintained, should
ba exhausted before new supplies are pur
chased. This economical phase or tne
proposed changes in the Infantry equipment
waa fully anticipated by the board wntcn
considered this question and it has never
been suaeeeted that material on nana in
any large quantity should be abandoned
for the new and Improved articles, but ui
tlmatelv It is believed that practically all
of the details of the Infantry equipment
will be permanently installed. Of course,
that la a matter which will be finally a
termlned by the results of the practical
test of the eaulpment in the field toy he in-
fanry at the various summer maneuver
camps this year.
The orders issued from the War depart
ment show that a large number of officers
will be erected to their respective regi
ments from detached duty. This is in the
line of the policy adopted by the secretary
of war made known before he left Wash
ington on his trlD of inspection which will
take him around the world. The return of
these officers to their commands may Serl-
nn.iv intarfara with the discharge 01
duties which have devolved upon them; but
varv effort will be made to maintain this
reduced number of officers on detached
flntv. There is a very well defined ex-
iv.tatlnn that this will be impossible and
that within the next six months some, at
least, If not most, of the officers wno are
now relieved from detached duty, or others
In their place, will be found again In the
status of "absentees." It has been main
tained at the capital that too many officers
have been kept on detached duty and some
critics of army administration in the nouee
and senate have gone so far as to intimate
that th Hat of officers on duty away from
their commands was kept at its proportions
for purposes of demonstration with the
id that it wjHild influence congress In
enacting the 800-offlcer bill. The return of
thau vfflcers to their regiments Is at con
Merahla exnense unon the time of other
officers and it will be necessary to have a
general shifting about of the duties or tne
officers who remain in order to have the
work performed.
One of the colored men who was a
former member of Company D. Twenty
fifth infantry, and who was discharged
without honor on November 28. 1808, with
other enlisted men of the company and who
ia now cJlrfbla to re-enlistment under tne
provisions of the act of March 8, 1909, upon
the recommendation of the tfrownsvuie
inoulrv. has raised some, inter
eating questions which manifest a thrifty
disposition. The man is employed in an
eastern city and has been Informed that
he may re-enlist, being one. of those ex
cepted from the permanently disabling re
sults of the Brownsville arrray. e lore
sees that he may obtain back pay and al
lowances upon re-enllstment and he con
templates this to the end that he may at
once purchase his discharge, which would
undoubtedly be a profitable transaction.
Under a decision of the department, the
soldier would not receive pay for the un
expired portion of the enlistment which
waa Interrupted by his discharge without
honor. He will beoome entitled to receive
pay for the period beginning November 38,
1906, and ending with tha date of his re
enllstment. The act of March 3, 1909, does
not operate to affect the character of the
discharge certificate, nor does It confer
authority upon the War department to
amend its records so as to "show that the
soldier received an honorable discharge."
As to the purchase or discharge after re
enlistment, it is held it is not necessary
that a soldier who has become eligible to
re-enllstment through the finding cf a
court of inquiry should continue to serve
in the army indefinitely, but it is held that
there should be a substantial period of ac
tive service before application for discharge
by purchase are entertained. The secre
tary of war has decided that one year after
re-enllatncnt, under the provisions of the
law, will be regarded as a reasonable time
to serve before a man can purchase his
discharge.

Ex-President Roosevelt Is apparently en
gaged In the useful work of capturing the
"stragglers in" or 'the "breakaways" from
Republicanism, while President Taft Is
shepherding and compacting the main herd.
The ex-President would reclaim and again
align the errant or the prodlcals, while
the president Is holding the tractable and
willing to duty and bringing them to the
appointed goal.
Between the two leaders the understand
ing and accord may be more complete than
either may be willing to avow, until the
"round-up" of the whole drove shall be
assured.
We advise those who inter or discern
a "break" between Roosevelt and Taft to
check their alacrity for language, until
events confirm their views. Long before
that, these scenters or prophets of divi
sion may have "thoroughly to reverse
themselves and to act accordingly," as S.
S. Cox once witheringly said to a man
whom he Incontinently squelched.
Talks for people
"When you say, 'A merchant should
keep his advertising before tho people
all of the time,' are you not talking
merely to sell more space?" ask some
merchants.
We are talking to sell more space,
but not "merely."
Repetition is the foundation ot suc
cessful .advertising it has . been
proven time and time again that the
"death rate" In advertising is highest
among those who advertise spasmod
ically. It Is a fact that advertising
effects increases In 'proportion to the
frequency of its appearances.
We do not advocate "splurges"
setting a pace that cannot be main
tained in fact," we advise against
anything of the sort.
We do advocate everlasting reitera
tions of facts telling your store news
every day to as many people as possi
ble, constantly and consistently
playing up quality and price and back
ing your statements with the goods
because that is the keystone of suc
cessful advertising.

WOMjERFDL CURE
OF SORE IJUS
Skia Peeled and Flesh Got Hard and
Broke Blood Flowed in Fifty
PIaces"SingleBoxofCuti- i
cura Ended Suffering."
About eleven years ago I was troubled with sore hands,
so sore that when I would put them in water the pain would
very nearly set me craty, the skin would peel off and the flesh
would get hard and break. There would be blood flowing
from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never
tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried everything
that I was told to use for fully three years, but could get no
relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of
them seemed to do me any good, as my hands were as bad
when I got through doctoring as when I first began. I also
tried many remedies, but none of them ever did me one cent's
worth of good. I was discouraged and heartsore. I would
feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think I had to go to
work and stand the pain for ten hours, and I often felt like
giving up my position. , j ,
Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap
every finger up separately, so as to try and keep them soft
and then wear gloves over the rags to keep the grease from
getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves In
bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all the time. After doctor
ing for three years and spending much money, a single box
of Cutlcura Ointment ended all my sufferings. It's been eight
years since I used any and I don't know what sore hands are
now, and never lost a day's work while using Cutlcura Oint
ment. (Signed) THOMAS A CLANCY,

"By making his Job more valuable. We
