The Oregon plan applies to the election of United States aenators precisely the asms policy that has been already ap plied to tha election of president. The electors no longer elect the president as the constitution contemplates. Tha pres ident Is elected by a plurality vote of tha people of the several state. Tha consti tution has borne up excellently under tha strain, and so It will, we think, under tha Oregon plan. World-Herald. This is the favorite analogy of advo cates of the so-called Oregon plan of choosing United States senators, but it is not a good analogy. The so-called Oregon plan proposes to make each candidate for the legislature pledge himself to cast his vote for United States senator for the candidate who receives the highest preference vote throughout the state in the election, irrespective of the preference of his own constituents. By the Oregon plan a member of the legislature might be pledged to vote for a candidate for United States senator who did not get a single vote of preference in the leg islative district which he is supposed to represent The existing method of choosing the president is entirely different because presidential electors vote for the candl- date who Is the choice of those who have voted for them. The Oregon plan would require a member of the legislature elected as a republican to vote for a democrat for United 8tatea senator or vice versa, whereas a presi dential elector chosen as a republican who would cast his vote for a demo crat lor president would call down on himself all the anathemas that would rightly fall to a loathsome traitor. In the last presidential election a large majority of the people of the United States expressed their preference for William H. Taft for president, and yet every presidential elector elected as a democrat cast his ballot in the elec toral college for William J. Bryan. , The fallacy of the pretended analogy is still more strikingly Illustrated when an election in a state results in a split of the presidential ticket. This happened two years ago In Maryland, where two of the republican electors and six ot the democrats won out, the republicans receiving larger votes than any of the democrats. If the analogy were good all of Maryland's eight votes should have been cast for Taft, when In fact the six' democratic electors voted for Bryan, as they should have done. In some states presidential electors used to be chosen by congres sional districts, and there Is nothing to prevent a recurrence to this method, in which event a democratic ' elector chosen by one district would rightly and properly cast his vote for the dem ocratic candidate for president even though every other district and the whole state had gone overwhelmingly republican. We suggest that the advocates of the Oregon plan put their pretended an alogy with the electoral college In cold Storage. ' I The Gompers Caie. The announcement that the Bucks Stove company will not further prose cute Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison as the executive officials of the National Federation of Labor, who had been given jail sen tences for violation of a court lnjunc tion, is wholesome insofar as it indi cates peace and a better spirit between large aggregation ot capuai ana or- ganlzed labor, but it does not follow that the truce between the warring parties Justifies the dismissal ot the cases by the government It should be remembered that what these men were sentenced for was the writing and publication, by pen and public speech, of an appeal to union workers after the court had granted an injunction restraining such appeals. The court held them to be In contempt and imposed the sentences, and the labor leaders appealed their case. Be tween the time of issuing the order and the appeal to the higher court, the original order was held to be void, but as the Issue went directly to the right of free press and free speech, Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell proceeded with their case to the supreme court. It is therefore a matter no longer for the Bucks Stove company to settle, but for the highest tribunal in the land to decide. It is for it to say whether a lower court may restrain the organic right of free speech by an injunction, and the public, as well as the parties to this particular contro versy, should desire to see the Issue determined by the court of last resort, for If the Question is, not settled now it may have to be fought out again Should the case so against the labor leaders, we would be ready to ask the president to grant full pardon. Importance of Good Eoads. The third National Good Roads con gress, which holds its sessions at Niagara Falls, July 28 to 30, will need no systematic advertising to make It a success, for it will represent a propa ganda that long ago passed the expert mental stage and proved its worth in this country., It seems strange, when the progress of the movement Is con sidered, that this could be but the third such congress. It would be difficult to overestimate the practical benefits that have accrued from the good roads movement. The name suggests to one's mind a smooth well-made thoroughfare, generally in the country, but what tremendous possibilities glide along that even sur face! Good roads have been a boon to the man who lives in the. city and the country alike, drawing them closer together and multiplying their oppor tuMlies for commercial and social Intercourse. It has simplified tha mat ter of travel, lesseued the cost of transportation, annihilated distance and reduced time to the minimum. It has increased the price of farm land snd the price of horse flesh, for it has led to a better breed of animals as a result of less neck-breaking work on rough roads. It has multiplied the means and variety of agriculture, established new markets and wiped out mortgages and built up bank ac counts. But after all, with all tbla magnifi cent progress and its results before us, the good roads movement Is but In Its Infancy. Here is the State ot New York alone appropriating $50,000,000 to be expended for the improvement of its highways and other states de voting large sums and much time to the same purpose. What the ultimate results of such an Institution will be no one can possibly determine or even approximate. It is a movement in which the entire country, urban and suburban, could and should unite, and some tangible plans for Immediate execution will probably come from this congress. Conventions that. Count. The Ad men's convention, which has been holding Its session in Omaha, is the kind of a convention a busy, bust ling city likes to entertain. The Ad men have shown themselves to be good fellows. They enter into the spirit of the occasion. They bring with them the real vim and vigor and make their presence known and felt. They do not hide their light under a bushel nor permit anyone within ear shot to remain in Ignorance that an Ad men's convention is In full eruption in the vicinity. They show themselves appreciative of attentions paid them by our citizens. This is the sort of a convention that counts. When the Ad men go home they will talk about the Omaha meet ing for weeks and months, and we will take a chance that they will say more good things than bad things about us On dispersing to their homes the Ad men will be like a swarm of Omaha boosters flying in all directions, and will help Omaha materially to future convention successes. Learn to Walk. Walking is a. national habit with the Englishman and undoubtedly it has proved to be a most wholesome habit, contributing vastly to the health and longevity of the people. Of Mr. Gladstone it is said the harder his mental task for the day, the longer he made his walk, and this hale man at 80 was as vigorous in mind, as virile In spirit as are some of the ablest men at 40. If he was particularly per plexed over some problem of state he walked away from the inclination to worry and always returned refreshed and more able for the task before him Americans have only begun to wake up to the fact that they need more recreation.' They have been a nation of ceaseless workers, but In the last few years have begun to take time off to play and now, it is commonly said, that they play as bard as they work. But we play as hard as they work. But we look too far sometimes for our means of exercise and recreation. We have neglected to avail ourselves of the most accessible means of all. Every body can walk and everybody should walk. It Is the cheapest, most access! ble way of getting the physical exer- clse thftt W(J need e8peclany thoM who ... hut UD . offlce8 or shon . dav or pursue any sedentary occupation Our British cousins have been able to spread their example to some ex tent In this country, but not enough Business men and business women, as well as the housewife who spends most of her time at home, should get in the habit of taking long strolls and they would And more than mere temporary physical exercise in the results. It is one of the best possible means of warding off an anaemic condition and avoiding an endless train of nervous disorders. Menace of the Muckraker. Vice President Fairbanks hit the bull's eye in his speech to the ad men when he declared that "The malador- ous muckraker has become an object of contempt," and that "there is perhaps nothing more reprehensible than the loose impeachment ot the motives of the chief executive, the downright mis representation of his acts, distortion of his record by the suppression of the truth or by pure falsehood." The muckraker, as we have come to term the newspaper and magazine fakir, is not only becoming an object of contempt, but a public menace. The power for evil is tremendous, just as the possibilities for good ot decent journalism are great. The muckraker strikes at reputations which It has taken years to build up and no matter how palpably false and absurd, he how palpably false and absurd, he finds thousands of people ready to be lieve what he says and the best of men are not immune. Nothing could be worse in the na tlonal life than the deliberate, system atic and persistent distortion of truth to destroy confidence In public men honored with high official position The wanton effort to impeach, the in tegrity of the head of the nation is, as Mr. Fairbanks says, a blow at the In stltutlon of the government itself. No man with faith In the Integrity of his nation and people can long be deceived by the subtle delusion that this Is honest criticism, and In that fact lies the hope that muckraking is approaching its' end. Nobody with the best Interest of the country at heart would, It they could, abridge the right of honest criticism, but there Is a vast difference between honest criticism and this species of bushwhacking. While the muckraker has disgusted decent men, he has at the same time paved the way to fame a fid fortune of many a mountebank. He has opened the door of opportunity wide to the demagogue and the heyday of muck raking Is the harvest time of the charlatan. The visit of former Vice President Fairbanks to Omaha demonstrates that as a private cltisen he retains the good will and confidence of the people generally which he had as a public official and has a strong hold on Ne braska, which in 104 testified Its ad miration by giving Roosevelt and Falr- banks the biggest majority ever marked up on the political blackboard In this state. In the grand assessment roll Doug las county contributes a substantial In crease, while Lancaster county is al most at a standstill. Presumably, either the assessors at the state capital have been deliberately undervaluing for the purpose of escaping taxation or business expansion there has not kept pace. If President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton really wants that guberna torial nomination he had better not wait too long for the office to seek the man or some energetic New Jersey politician will come along and scoop him. Governor Shallenberger thinks he has a populist renomlnatlon nailed down withont opposition. It remains to be seen whether he can make the next populist platform fit him better than did the last one be ran on. With the example of Dr. Pearsons and Andrew Carnegie before them, as men who have been striving for years to get in a position to die poor, the rising generation should be careful bow it accumulates wealth. There is no good reason why the county board should not. cut its est! mate of expenses for the ensuing year at least f 50,000 ana reduce the county tax levy correspondingly. The city council is entitled to credit for reducing the taxpayers' burden 100,000... But The Bee also claims credit for having shown the council how to do it. More Nebraska people are traveling abroad right now than at any other time in our history. Nebraska must have been enjoying prosperity as never before. Native Sprlnsa tn Action. Brooklyn Eagle.

"Aad Look Pleasant." Denver Republican. One of the striking notes of the time la, the hard effort Mr. Bryan is making to prove to the country that he can "come back." That noise emanating from Lincoln listens like: "Now, gentlemen, if you will kindly look this way!" Poatal Bank! Self-flnpportlna;. Springfield Republican. Postmaster Oeneral Hitchcock is devis ing distinctive stamps for use on mail originating with the postal savings bank business of the department This is In acoord with the provisions ot the new pos tal bank act. It will enable the depart ment to determine how much of a burden on the mall service the aavlngs bank addl tlon Is. There Is no present Intention ap parently of charging up the cost, as meaa ured by the volume of distinctive stamps used, against the savings account, but that may come .ls,tor on, as It should. The postal savings banks should be made aa fully self-supporting as is possible, and It Is being made easily possible to know how much their malt coBt Is to the general postal service. Bearcats for Trath la Alaska. Philadelphia Ledger. There Is no more mysterious region upon the political map than Alaska. Everybody there appears to be at odds with everybody else, and each faction accuses the other ot grievous criminality. The president has apparently despaired of reconciling the con tradictory representations, and is sending out the attorney general and the secretary of commerce and labor upon an exploring expedition to bring back a truthful report, Alaska Is under' a peculiar territorial or ganlsacion, and the administration has been anxious for some new legislation which appears to be well conceived, though naturally it Is not equally proved, by con fllctlng interests. - It is hoped that the pres ent emissaries will be able to get at the facts, and that their report may be helpful to congress.

VVashington Life' ana taarwrttag til Oeaalttona at she STetloa'g Oe.pt lei. John Barrett, director of the International Bureau of American Republics, calia atten tion to the coming visit ot Marshal Hermes da Koriseca, presldint-elect of Brasll. to the United States, and urges the Importance of extending to the distinguished visitor local as well as national hospitality. Marshal Fonseca mill reach New York, August (. He will remain four weeks In this country, calling first upon President Taft at Bev erly, then upon Secretary Knox at . Valley Forge, and afterwards visiting such ot the principal cities ot the United states as he may see fit to accept invitations from. He ill be accompanied by Dr. Jose Carlos Rodrlgues, an eminent journalist of Latin America and proprietor of the Journal de Commercio ot Rio de Janerlo. one ot the greatest newspapers of tha world. The tltlo of "marshal" borna by the pres ident-elect came from holding the highest position in the Brazilian army, to which ha aa arisen step by step from tha rank of lieutenant. Although a great soldier ha Is also notably a peaceful statesman, and while In this country ha will make a study not only of our army, visiting West Point and several of the principal military posts, but cf our collegiate and public school systems, of our river and harbor Improvements and of our Industrial enterprises. He Is M years old, and therefore In the prima of his Ufa. n Europe, where ha has just been visiting. ho has been shown great honors by Em peror William and other heads of nations. From the United States ha will return to Brasll, where ha will be Inaugurated pres ident early in November. The "big" room of the Washington Union station, which it was Intended should shield the executive in his numerous fllttings to and from tha capital, pending train depart ures and arrivals, has pegged out. What as planned to be one of the most import ant gathering places in the city for hurried conferences with the president Is a nonen tity. Roonevelt, while president, made use ot the "executive room," three or four times, but not since the colonel, who only a few minutes before had been promoted to pri vate cltiienflhlp, made his notable getaway on March 4, 1S09, has anything approach ing a chief executive darkened, brightened or graced the lorn greatness of the spacious chamber. President Taft dodges the room with al most premeditated Intent. Not once has his auto drawn near the entrance of the room, on the east side of the station, and It is somewhat doubtful whether he even knows of Its existence. Always his auto plunges up to either the regular automobile driveway, on the oppo site side of the station, or the front colon ade entrance. Then he marches grandly nd smilingly through the watting room to the train. Never a thought gives he to the marble- walled spaciousness behind the restaurant, shrinking within Itself at Its desolateness. Gone are those magnulficent dreams of splendor and regal ceremonies escorting the ruler to the wide country beyond and eageryl awaiting and welcoming his royal arrival. Every one of the 2,000 female employes ef the census bureau can hereafter say that she has received at least one marriage offer and turned It down. The offer Is general end comes from a middle-aged farmer of Indiana, who expresses a desire to wed one of the pretty census girls about whom he has heard and read so much. His letter came addressed to the "Oirls of the Census .Office" and was opened In the office of the chief clerk. The writer said bis name was Mr. Pyles, Jr.,' with the junior" spelled In capitals. He entirely shunned his Christian name. This was the letter: "Hello, Census Girls Hearing so much about your beauty and, fine qualities and knowing you must be good workers or else you wouldn't be holding your Jobs, I would like to correspond with some one of you with the ultimate object of matrimony. I am 40 years of age and am a natural home body and of mild temperament. I am a farmer by profession and birth and am noted for my gentle disposition.

PYLES, JR., "R. F. D. No. 2, Colburn, Ind." Congress has provided coaches and auto- mobiles? not merely for heads of depart' ments, but for chiefs of offiicial bureaus, although the city of Washington possesses means of rapid transit in every direction. At the same time congress has erected magnlflclent palaces for the official rest dences of Its members and furnished them with a luxury that Hellegabalus probably might have envied. Yet In the midst of this extravagance the controller of the treasury was obliged the other day to turn down a charge of 14 for a pair of gloves for the coachman ot Secretary Knox. After diligent search ot the lawa providing for all sorts of expenditures, no warrant could be found for tha gloves.

Batch of Dtwir'i f ralaera Pat Om the vAactloa Block. St. Paul Pioneer Prees. The progress that Is being made in bat tlf-fchlp construction la. Indeed, remarkable and the end Is not In sight. The develop ment of recent years has set a pacs well designed to make the taxpayers and spec tators gasp and wonder what to expect The terrors of the ea a decade ago ara copsldered mare use rs toys today. The ships that were the pride of the nation a dosen years ago ara bolng consigned to the scrap heap. Th scrtary of th navy a few days ago advertised the crulners Boston and Detroit, the gunboat Conoord and the torpedo boat Wlnrlow as being for sale to the highest bidder. They will be auctioned as so much scrap Iron, yet two of them only twelve years aso helped to make Ad miral Dewey famous in Manila bay. The Boston snd Concord wire a part of the squadron that sailed Into Manila bay and sank the Spanish ships. We thought at the time that the feat was something wonlerful, and It was at that time. The capture of such an assortment of tubs .would, starcely be considered, a. baiUs to, day. In fact, no real nation now would peimlt such a collection of boats as the ranlards had In Manila bay to be at large under Its Hag. Nor would we expect Ad mit al Dqwey or any one else to go Into an engagement with a squadron of Detrolts and Concords, for they never would be able to get near enough to the scent of action to flra a shot. The protected cruiser Boston, ons of Ad miral Dewey's mainstays, was built In W3 at a cost of fG6,KS. and was among the first of the steel vessels to be constructed for the United States navy. It carried six six-Inch guns besides smaller weapons. It Xad a displacement of 1,023 tens and a speed ot 15.1 knots. The. boat was the embodiment of naval perfection and ef ficiency a quarter of a century ago. Com pared with the battleship of today that cost ten times aa much and have a die- placement nearly ten time as great the Boston is worse than useless. All of which emphasises how expensive the naval game will become when we have to send the present day dreadnaughts to the scrap heap to make room for others of greater efficiency. GROWING OLD HAPPILY. Kiaaaple of Dr. Pranasi, Distributer t a Fortaae, Chicago Inter Ocean. Dr. Daniel K. Pearsons announces that his spacious home In Hinsdale for a quarter century Is for sale, and that by the time ha reaches his next birthday, on April 14, he will have paid all his "debts" and finished disposing of his estate In such a way that there will be no possibility of heirs quarreling over It, for the reason that there will not be anything left beyond his personal maintenance. Born In 1W0 In Vermont. Daniel Kinball Pearsons had a common school education. was a school teacher at IS, graduated In medicine In 1842, practiced Ms profession successfully In Chlcopee, Mass., for fifteen years, in 1867 became a farmer In Ogle county, Illinois, and In I860 engaged In the real estate and morgage loan business In Chicago, and In the next forty years built up a great fortune, which for tha last twenty he has been giving away wisely. Social philosophers have often remarked that the successful physician Is commonly successful when he goes into commerce or finance, probably because of the training he has obtained as physician in observing men and dealing with them. Whether this be true as a general rule or not. It cer tainly is true in Dr. Pearson's case. Thus promoting the development of bis country, Daniel K. Pearsons prospered with it, and some twenty years ago entered upon the third stage of his career, that of dis tributing wisely for the benefit of education the fortune he had acquired. To do this carefully and effectively he has been granted the blessing of unusual length of days. " Others have given larger fortunes to the publio benefit, but we doubt If any other man has given away a fortune so effec tively, or had a better time and happier years doing it, than Dr. Pearsons. Ho one who spoke with htm fcr a quarter hour could doubt that he was having the beat kind of a good time and really enjoying lire more at 86 than most men do at 35. His plan of giving was well calculated to produce enjoyment for any kindly and thinking man. He bad not only the pleas ure of aiding a worthy cause, but also. what Is really the greater pleasure, of being the means of Inciting other men to put forth all the strength they had In a worthy cause. He not only gave, and had the pleasure of giving, but he also had the pleasure of mov ing men to do thler best and of bringing out all the ability there was In them. The "debts" of which Dr. Pearsons spoke In his. announcement of the approaching conclusion of his educational enterprises are sums which he has promised to various colleges on condition that other friends of the Institutions give as much, or several times as much, according to circumstances. In this way Dr. Pearsons has given about $6,000,000 to education. Dr. Pearsons Is sometimes spoken of es an Illustration of the wisdom of a man being his own executor," since only thus can he be sure that his property goes tn ways he would fully approve. We suggest that he la a better illustration of an Import ant discovery. In the art of growing old happily in effectively moving others to do their best for good causes. For we doubt if Daniel K. Pearsons has had any happier years In Ms long life than the score in which ha has thus moved his fellow men to show the power that Is In them and the reality of their membership In what has been called "The Church of the Best Licks, Talks for people Air.
