Two Brave Men.
tinder' the so-called Oregon plan of
choosing United States senators, with
which the late democratic legislature
filleted us here In Nebraska, Intend
ing candidates for the legislature are
glren three options In filing for places
on the official primary ballot They
may sign "Statement No. 1," or
Statement No. 2," or no statement
whatever. Signing "Statement No. 1"
fflxes to their names when printed on
the ballot this lino "Promises to vote
for people's choice for. U S. senator;"
for "Statement No. 8" this lino "Will
not promise to vote for people's choice
for U. 8. senator." and for no state
ment no explanatory line.
While some of the candidates for
legislative nominations have signed
Statement No. 1," and the great ma
jority have signed no statement what
ever, two of them have defied the
lightning by signing "Statement No.

state. The official- primary ballot,

England Still Ahead.
American police are professing con
siderable merriment at the expense of
the British and Scotch police for let
ting Dr. Crlppen, the alleged wife mur
derer, get away after they had him In
their clutches. Especially are they
laughing at Scotland Yard, the vaunted
secret service stronghold of the world.
The officers of Great Britain have
apparently made a botch of this Job;
Scotland Yards detectives had Crlppen.
in their hands and let him sing a soft
song of grief to them which com
pletely diverted their minds from the
thought of his guilt. But the Ameri
can police are not quite warranted in
laughing at' this mistake, for they
have been where their cousins over
the sea are too often to make this a.
real funny Joke.
In the long run the United States
has had no room to boast over Great
Britain in the matter of capturing
and convicting criminals. .. When 'It
comes to getting the man, convicting
and sentencing him, Great Britain has
been far in the lead. Its police may
sometimes be slow in making arrests
but its wheels of Justice, we have ob
served,, move rather swiftly and or
dinarily, when it becomes clear that
the captive Is reslly guilty, little time
elapses between his capture and im
prisonment, or whatever the penalty
may be. The courts of Great Britain
have not '.ontrlved as many ways of
delaying trials as have the courts of
this country and they pay scant heed,
comparatively, to the prodigious
technique of law as a means of miti
gating the punishment of crime.
Whether Dr. Crlppen is ever cap
tured or not, if he is it Is a foregone
conclusion that his guilt or innocence
will bo determined in Yery short order
and If guilty he will be brought speed
ily to his Just reward.
Minnesota Democrats.
Minnesota democrats, not unlike
democrats in many other elates, are,
It seems, willing to do anything this
year to win. Apparently a majority
of them are determined to force for
mer Governor John Llnd to run
against Governor Eberhart on any
platform-Mr. Llnd may suggest or out
line, their sole thought being that he
is the only democrat in the state who
could possibly be elected. It must be
said for Mr. Lind that he displays
little more consistency than those who
are importuning him to make the race,
and It is not at all unlikely that hit
consistency is tinctured with wisdom,
for he is thoroughly familiar With
Minnesota politics.
Mr. Lind has written a formal letter
declaring to the democrats, "Your can
didate I cannot be." Then in a sig
nificant little postscript, sort of an
after-thought, as it were, he adds:
''Moreover, if I did run, it would have
to be on a county option platform."
But that has not stopped the im
portunate leaders who want to remain
at the official pie-counter and, not
withstanding the fact that the demo
cratic party of Minnesota is on record
against county option, itt members in
the last legislature so voting, evidently
Mr. Llnd's prescription does not feaze
them. Come on, county option and
all, anything to win Is their apparent
answer to him.
Nor is thlt readlnesa to renounce its
own record the only evidence the party
has given of Its "anything to win"
policy. Mr. Llnd happens to be a
member of the University Board of Re
gents, and under the law of the state
holds that he Is not eligible to nom-
Ination, but his democratto brethren
cry, In effect, then shove the law to
one side and run anyway.
It is a desperate situation for the
democrats of the North Star state.
They are grimly trying to hang onto
the power they gained through the
three successive elections of the late
Governor Johnson, upon whoso death
a republican lieutenant governor, Mr
Eberhart, became governor. The
reason why John Llnd Is picked out is
because he is a Scandinavian, as also
is Governor Eberhart But Governor
Lind was defeated for re-election In
1900 by Samuel R. Van Sant, who was
not a Scandinavian, and his nomina
tion this year would by no means be
equivalent to election, particularly
since Governor Eberhart Is making
the office and himself very popular
with the voters.
Nicaraguan Nonsense.
It is not surprising that a Zelaya
cabinet has been formed under Madria
as president of Nicaragua, for there
was never any serious belief that the
man Secretary Knox denounced as a
tyrant lost all his influence when he
lost his office. When elevated to the
presidency Madrlz was received either
as the recognized ally of Zelaya, or as
the subtle Instrument, and, In any
event, too weak to assert a positive
will against his predecessor.
It la natural, therefore, that the new
cabinet should be "bitterly anti-Amer-,
lean," but it only denotes still further
the utter lack of common sense and
Judgment that is controlling Nica
ragua. It la only a republlo in name,
a weak, unpopular little nation that
Is wasting its substance In riotous pas
sion and prejudice against a nation
with which it could never hope to
compete in any test of strength. It Is
absurd for Nicaragua to delude itself
with the belief that any effort it might
exert could obstruct or impede the
progress of American trade and influ
ence in South America. The United
State is going ahead down there re
gardless of anything Nicaragua may
wish or will, and the most it could do
would be to get in line and follow on,
picking up what advantages It might
from contact with such a power.
Washington has been exceedingly
tolerant of the Zelaya and Madrlz
perfidy, so much so, In fact, that it has
invited criticism from some of Its own
people. It ill becomes an Impotent na
tion, with not enough virility left to
quell one of Its own civil revolts, to
challenge the enmity of the most pow
erful of governments. What can it
really matter, after all, whether the
new cabinet and the new minister are
"bitterly anti-American" to any nation
but Nicaragua T Certainly the United
States has nothing to lose by such un
friendliness. And no other power is
in a position to say a word, i
To Stop the Ballot Fraud.
The editor of The Bee has Instituted
a suit in the district court for Lancas
ter county to prevent illegal duplica'
tlon of names of candidates for nomi
nation on the official ballot-In the im
pending primary election. The fraud,
whose perpetration has been at
tempted, consists bf the filing of appll
cations to go on the ballot under one
party heading, and the subsequent
filing of petitions and acceptances to
go on the other party ballots without
paying the prerequisite filing fee as
required by law.
The editor of The Bee protested the
filings of democratto presidential elec
tors under populist labels two years
ago, but the matter of separate filing
fees was not involved because candi
dates for presidential electors are not
required to pay any filing fees at all.
It is not the purpose of The Bee to
try a law suit in its own columns, but
it is not out of place to advise the pub
lic what Its editor is trying to do for
the protection of tfie ballot and to pre
vent a deception on the voters.
The Bee has time and again de
nounced the flagrant, abuse by which
the democrats of Nebraska have been
enabled to misbrand their candidates
and steal votes which do not belong to
them, and which they could not get
under their true colors. We believe
that any legitimate move to stop this
abuse is Justified and entitled to the
approval and support of all good cltt
tens who favor a square deal.

Advertising has worked and It still work
ing wonders. Itt limits have not yet been
reached, and one may wejl doubt If they
have ever been' approached. And yet it la
dlffloult not to have a feeling of skep
ticism concerning the effort of the New
York Telephone company to instill courtesy
into Itt subscribers by advertising. It it
never pleasant to have Our attention called
to our faults, but in this case it it done in
such in impersonal way that it may per
haps not prove offensive. The New York
advertisements ask:
' Would you ruan Into an office or up to
tne door or a reeiaenoe ana oiurt out
"Hello! Hello! Who am I taking to?" and
then, when you receive a reply, follow up
your wild,, diaoourteous salutation with
"I don't want you; get out of my way; ;
want to talk to Mr. Jones." Would you?
We most certainly would not! None of
ut. And for various reasons. Aside from
the danger - of getting ourselves thrown
Into the street for doing anything of the
kind, It it not. customary for people to act
in that way. However, grouchy and grumpy
or disappointed we may feel. It doea not
even occur to ut to act to. But with
telephone receiver at the eajr it never seams
to occur to many people to act in any other
way. In the first place it it tafe; and In
the second It lacks that personal contact
which makes more or less for decent man
ners.
Few of the facilities of modern lift art
of greater convenience than the telephone,
but for all tbat the telephone like other
things Is not perfect. We do not always
get the number we ask for, or we are irri-
tatlvely delayed In getting It. It it not
pleasant to sit with a receiver to the ear,
even for a very few minutes. Tne inter
mittent buzsee and raucous rattles Jar our
nervea, so that when we do finally get the
number we art after wt are in no mood
for the amenities' of telephony, important

when wt do not get the desired connection
promptly and properly we generally have a

A notable review of the economia devel
opment of Germany appears In a late num
ber of the Quarterly Review. Conditions
hitherto remarked in separate parts are
grouped tnd their relative Importance con
sidered. It la made olsar by this showing
that agrloulturt hat lost itt predominant
position at an occupation In Germany. In
IMS tht agricultural population was 18,600,-
000, and In 1907, 17,680,000. In the same per
iod tht number engaged In mechanical
industrial pursuits, increased from ,AO0O
to M.SSO.OOO. The lost in agricultural popu
lation has been more than balanced by Im
proved agricultural methods. Thlt Is
strikingly shown In the statement that
with 2,000,000 less population than In im,
there wat harvtated In 1901 6.000,000 more
tons of ctrtala and 2S,Ooo,ooo more tont of
potatoet than a quarter of a century ago.
The productive output of the farms has
been doubled with less manual power, and
the valut of the output greatly enhanced.
Commercially the writer ahows that Ger
many'! exports and Imports In im were
worth. In round numbers $2,200,000,000, and
in 1908 $3,604,000,000. In the last named
year the balance of trade was $joo,ooo,ooo.
According to the writer, German's com
mercial success is largely due to the per
fection of the organisation of syndicstes
by which products rather than manufac
turing establishments are controlled. Tht
syndicates secure the trade, fix the prices
for the merchandise and distribute tht or
der! among the various mills and factories.
He doet not say that cost of production
Is materially less in Germany than it la in
Great Britain, but emphasizes the fact
of important economies affected through
commercial co-operation and system.
"Every effort," he says, "is made to avoid
waate and overlapping and the economies
affected art atated to be very great."

Embesslera ot Power.
New York Preat.
Mr. Bryan continual hit noble effort to
strengthen the democratic party In Ne
braska by reducing Itt numbers. Ho hat
Issued hit edict that nlnt senators shall net
bt rt-elected because they do not Interpret
the party platform at ha doet With refer
ence to the Initiative and the referendum,
and are, therefore, in hit conciliatory
phrase, "embesslen of power."
Mr. Bryan hat not had a chance to ahow
how faithful he would be to a party plat
form on which he waa elected alnce the
early nineties. Then he practically repu
diated his party and went over to populism
plunging his party Into a slough of defeat
In which he hat done hit best to keep it
His practice of political ethlca makes hit
preaching on that aubjeot ludicrous.
Talks for people
About five years ago the Common
wealth Edison company of Chicago
took up newspaper advertising.
The first appropriation wasn't very
large, but it was enough to keep the
advertisements running regularly in
the newspapers, telling the people of
Chicago about the electrical appli
ances which would Increase the con
venience of their homes and about the
cleanness and safety of electric light
ing. .
Fortune favored them from the first
because they started right. They
called in a good advertising man, got
him to write the copy, backed him up
in his plans and allowed him to place
the advertising where it would do the
most good in the leading newspapers
of Chicago.
The company increased the appro
priation from time to time as the re
turns became greater, until they are
now spending $100,000 a year.
When a company like the Common
wealth Edison increases its advertising
appropriation from a few thousand to
a hundred thousand dollars there la
something in it, don't you think so?
Isn't It pretty good evidence that ad
vertising, when it is done right, pays,
and pays big?
