Short Session to Be Busy. 1
It Is plain that President Tuft has
mapped out a busy tlma fr congress
at the short session next winter. His
announcement , that business at the
White House conlpels the abandon
ment of contemplated western and
southern tours and tne limiting of
speeches to the minimum this fall is
fair warning that he proposes to com
plete the congressional program begun
March 4, 1909, at this next session If
possible. In less than two years the
president has directed congress In the
fulfillment of most of a four years
contract with the people, and he is
right in believing that what remains
of this work should be completed at
the short session. Then the republl
can party, under the spur of the presi
dent's vigilance, will have perfected
every pledge it made to the people In
the campaign of 1908., And this will
be the best asset It couM possibly have
in the form of campaign material.
Should a considerable change In po
litlcal sentiment overtake the people
which Is possible, though not prob
able and a democratic house of rep
resentatlves be elected this fall, it
would preclude any hope or possibility
of consummating the republican plat
form during the present administra
tion aftqr this short session, for after
the adjournment of this seaalon . the
president would not have a working
majority in the house and the house
and senate would be pulling against
each other for the next two years. It
is irrespective, therefore,' of the out
come of the fall election, that the prea
ent republican majority co-operate
with the president in completing the
program next winter, and so little of
real Importance remains to be done
that, with anything like harmonious
action, this should be speedily accom
pUshed.
Alimony and Divorces.
Now comes a New York woman who
is sure to be charged with "woman's
inhumanity for woman," professing to
be shocked at the multiplicity of di
vorces and proposing a remedy In the
total abolition of alimony. She con
ceives the prospect of alimony to be
the chief cause of divorces granted to
women and denounces the system as
nothing but a simple graft.
Undoubtedly many designing women
can consistently take no exceptions to
these charges, and it is not to be ques
tioned that some unscrupulous law
yers will co-operate with women for
the purpose of obtaining financial
emolument through the operation of
the divorce courts, but that alimony,
or the desire to obtain alimony, con
stitutes the prevailing cause and pur
pose of women seeking legal separa
tions from their husbands, it is hard
to believe, any more than that it
would be wise, safe or Just to do away
with the law providing for alimony.
. Society has come to recognize that
there la such a thing as a Justifiable
divorce, and there is certainly euch a
thing as a woman needing and deserv
ing support from the man from whom
she seeks and obtains a divorce, and
to abolish alimony would work hard
ship on many women and children
alike blameless for the causes as -well
as the fact of the separation. Alimony
is 1 not unlike a great - many other
things, legitimate In their original
purpose, but susceptible to easy abuse
That, however, is not an argument for
doing away with alimony, in many
cases the only means of maintenance
for a mother and her children.
Co-Education.
Separate schools for the sexes have
a new champion in this country In the
person of Miss Virginia Lee 'Pride,
who has for twenty years' held dis
tinguished positions in South , Africa,
where she has been regarded as one
of the educational leaders. It 1b not
at all surprising that one with Miss
Virginia Lee Pride's name, a de
scendant of Robert E. Lee and the old
colonial aristocracy, should, after
twenty years' service in girls' schools,
oppose co-educatlonl It Is more" inter
esting to examine her argument than
it is to know her position.
Miss Pride is quoted In a Los
Angeles paper as saying that "There
are no co-educational schools in Eu
rope except the board schools, and
there the boys and girls are kept' In
separate rooms." Further on in the
Bame Interview she says: "Girls .In
European schools have no individual
ity and apparently no Inclination,', to
develop such a thing. Every question
of wardrobe, lessons or amusements
is referred either to the parents or
teachers of the forclgn-bred girl," while
in America she Is quick to assert her
own desire in these matters."
And yet Miss Pride advocates the
schools in wnicn she finds the girls of
no individuality, as against the'achoolB
where the girl does her own thinking
If she is correctly quoted, she haa
made a strong argument for co-education.
But whether she is or not, the
argument stands as sound and it is
one of the chief reasons why the
United States has adopted the system
of co-education in Its public schools
and why It probably will retain that
system in vogue for an indefinite pe
riod, despite Miss Pride's observation,
that "Co-education is rapidly growing
less popular."
Individuality Is what we demand
and must have in our girls and our
boys, and there can be no doubt that
the present public school system fos
ters that spirit and. despite its imper
fections, contributes vitally to the
rounding out of independent charac
ters sturdy enough to stand the strain
of useful citizenship. Our public
school system has always been, and
must always remain ' one of the olllara
ot the institution of government, and
THE BEE:
the exigencies of American serial and
industrial life make it highly desirable
that it be carried on upon a co-educational
basis. We have our private
schools and colleges for girls and boys
and they are good, but they can never
take the place of the people's school,
the family forum, as it were, where
In the crucible of keen competition
youthful tendencies are given wise and
wholesome bents and boys and girls
get their most vivid impressions of
what a free country is and what in
dividuallty means.
What Postal Savings May Do.
The depositor who places his money
in postal savings banks la very apt to
want to know all about the running
of the bank and this Is likely to lead
him into a thoughtful study of the
system. This is one of the potential
benefits of postal savings that was not
urged as a primary reason for the
adoption of the system, but it will be
worth considering in the. end, for its
natural tendency will be to invite a
closer and more sympathetic study of
governmental affairs in general a
thing greatly to be desired., Carefully
managed postal savings banks should
become the most popular of lnstltu
tions. When the small moneyed classes
of the country find how easily they
may conserve and even Increase their
limited means by the government's
help they are going to find a great deal
more satisfaction in their government
A subtle effort to disparage the pop
ularity of the system has been exerted,
but we may question the spontaneous
origin of this objection. In view ot
the fact that official reports show 200
postmasters in thirty-one states urg
lng that their offices be made branches
of the postal banking system and that
more than 400 banks in forty states
have asked to be designated as de
positories we can scarcely accredit this
rumor of unpopularity.
The postal savings system is here
and those opposed to it for any reason
can do no better now than help give
it a fair trial. If it is, as they con
tend, undesirable (and unprofitable the
government will be the first to find it
out, but all we have thus far on which
to base any knowledge of its outcome
Is theory and the experience of other
countries and the theory of those who
favor .lt has been accepted for a trial.
It would be unfair, therefore, to the
opponents not to give the friendly the
ory a thorough test. This is what the
president proposes to do, and he is
proceeding with the greatest delibera
tion. It is expected that this fall or
winter fifty experimental depositories
will be established and their success
will start a general demand to share
the benefits.
Cause and Effect.
; The'flrat till passed by- the' late Ne
braska democratic legislature and pre
sented to Governor Shallenberger for
his approving signature to make it
law was a measure taking from- the
secretary of state, who happens to be
a republican, the designation of the
newspapers in the various counties to
publish constitutional amendment ad
vertising and vesting that power In the
democratic governor. This was the
initial move for the transfer of polit
ical patronage wherever It was under
republican control to the democratic
pie counter.
With this foreword we Invite
perusal of two extracts from the How-
ells Journal, a staunchly democratic
paper, which in its last Issue in one
place says:
We have no patience with the candidacy
of W. R. Patrick for the democratic nom
ination for governor and can look upon it
in no other light than as a side show to
the Dahlman circus. Dahlman and Patrick
are the extremes at opposite ends of the
liquor question, but seem to be working
hand in hand with one object in view
the defeat of Shallenberger, the beat gov
ernor our state ever had. Both should be
given the cold shoulder by the democracy
of Nebraska.
The second extract, taken from the
same page, reads as follows:
The Howell Journal ha been designated
by Governor Shallenberger as the official
paper In Colfax county to publish the pro
posed constitutional amendment to be sub
mitted to the voter at the fall election.
Governor Shallenberger evidently
knew what he was doing when he
made up his list of newspaper bene
notaries for the constitutional amend
ment advertising.
According to t. m. Tibbies, once
populist vice presidential nominee,
there are still from 40,000 to 50,000
populists in Nebraska who are in
veigled Into voting the democratic
ticket by tho false label of a fraudu
lent ballot. We would not put the
number anywhere near so high, but
there are surely no less than 12,000
to 15,000 populists whose votes are
stolen by the democrats by thig mis
branding procoss.
Anxious Inquirer: Yes, the "Mike'
Harrington who denounced county op
tion at urana lsiana is tne same
I "Mike" Harrington who helped make
the populist platform of two years ago
declaring for county option, and the
same "Mike" Harrington who later
Stood on that platform as a candidate
for presidential elector. None of them
can turnfastey than "Mike."
The best Joke of all Is that some In
duatrlous "string fiend" has played
the New York papers for columns of
matter on something "Judge" Shoe
maker of Omaha said about killing
Bryan off politically. ' One sober New
York paper took it so seriously that
it wrote a column editorial on what
the "Judge" said.

The statistic of Immigration for the fis

thought to those who wonder how much
longer our assimilation powers will be
equal to the task confronting them. Of the
total for the year, tha. Italians and Polea
combined constitute, .about 35 per ' cent.
There were 223,403 ItaUatM and 128,148 Pole,
both people presenting In their way of
thought and living ..sharp 'Contrast to our
own. Those foreigners who bring certain
traditional sympathies with, our institu
tion are the English, Scotch, . Germans,
Irish and Scandinavians, No ona of these
racial element now approaches the Poles,
much less the Italian, as an Item In the
immigration total. The English numbered
53,498; the Irish 33,382 and the Germans
71.3SO. Add these together and the sum fails
60,000 short of equalling the Italian. Four
Italians came into our port to every Eng

Oyster Bay Fall to Heed the Preach
er's Preachment.
Washington Herald.
It la somewhat distressing, a well a
highly disappointing, to learn through the
Census department that the birth rate
credited to Oyster Bay 1 only about I per
cent ahead of the death rate. That put
Oyster Bay easily at the very foot of the
claas, or, at least, so near It that It amount
to the same thing.
It I the rule, ot course, that a prophet
hall not be without honor, save in hi ewn
country; but we long ago ceased to apply
rule, regulations, precedent, signs and
omen to the dominant force at Oyster
Bay. How happens It, then, that Oystor
Bay, of all place on this earth, lag be
hind In that most Important and vital of
all things it's birth rate?
Had we not been informed otherwise
(we should have guessed Oyster Bay'
birth rate to be the largest known to civi
lisation. The popular Impression has been
that an Oyster Baylte minus a large and
flourishing family was . a marked and
disgraced cltlsen. Having heard volumi
nously and vociferously from the greatest
living authority on anti-race suicide all
there is to know about the subject, on
would have Imagined that Oyster Bay
would have governed Itself accordingly
But not The figures ' apeak otherwise and
relate a far different story.. And, as is
well, known, figure cannot be short and
ugly. ' "'
Let us hope the humiliating ' new will
never reach Europe and the crowned head
thereof. Let us particularly hope that It

colonel did read. La Belle France! And

and fulfillment of the republican party'

the last few year for the fulfillment of
democratic platform pledge, notably the
guaranteeing of deposits instead of postal
savings banks. But since Collier' has
spoken the people of Nebraska, who have
no other mean of ascertaining who their
neighbor are and whether they are good
republicans or bad republicans, are fully
Informed. And that ought to settle It In

St. Paul Republican: It seem when the
matter 1 lifted down to a cause, that the
only reason some three or four papers have
in objecting to the candidacy of A. E. Cady
for governor Is In the fact that Mr. Cady
made a visit to Omaha. I there then some
thing In this, even If it were true, which
disqualifies a man from being the chief
executive of this state? Is not Omaha a
part of Nebraska? Is not the governor of
Nebraska the governor of the people
of Omaha a well a of Lincoln or
Orand Island or Hastings? Isn't it true that
Omaha, taken as a whole, la the biggest
single Institution Nebraska has? But a a
matter of fact there I nothing to the state
ment which will bear Inspection. Mr Cady
did not receive hi inspiration to beoome a
candidate from Omaha interest. Hi fil
ings were ready and In Lincoln before Mr.
Cady visited Omaha. We prefer to believe
that the paper who take a position against
Mr. Cady, and give this aa their sole rea
son, are simply misinformed.
Tekamah Journal: The republican state

reputation for brllllanoy ha been fostered
by muck rake, flash pan magaslnes, de
clared he must be eleoted permanent chair
man of the convention in order to secure a
vindication from the people of Nebraska.
Senator Brown was made chairman by a
two-to-one vote and Norrla waa correspond
ingly squelched. Later on in the convention,
after the platform had been adopted and
after half the convention had left the hall
because of the sweltering beat, Norris
brought out an insurgency plank to mollify
hi feeling. It was declared adopted on an
aye and nay vote without Senator Brown
yielding to the sentiment of the convention
by asking for a roll call. Senator Brown'
position wa to let them have It If it would
mollify the Norrl crowd any. In a way it
wa all right, but if Norrla can get any
satisfaction out of it, he la entitled to it.

Talks for people who sell things
Retailer and consumer should be
very close together, because each is
dependent upon the other; the retailer
must sell his goods to make living,
the consumer must buy his goods to
live.
The consumer Is willing to be con
vinced, but the retailer must prove his
case. Take an arbitrary stand, and let
it be widely known that you sell only
the best goods, and you are bound to
attract the attention of and convince
the consumers that you are worthy of
their custom. Price Is, of course, Im
portant, but service and satisfaction
are the first considerations. You can
win the regard of a greater number of
people by selling good rather than
cheap merchandise.
A following of pleased and steady
customers who know that whatever
they buy from you is the best their
money can buy will mean better and
bigger profits to you than all the sales
