Aa the home of ton prnatdent and alao of tli moHt ronaplcuoua democratic prraldrntlal aaplrant, Ohio naturally falls Into thla poaltlon. TrltUa or the Taft ndmliilalratlon wera willing cnouKh ln'foro th republican atat convention In Ohio to admit thla fact, and they cannot now deny it.

Tho action of the Coluiubua conven tion has been very generally endorsed all over the state, and favorably com mented on throughout tho country. Newspaper comment, wblch fairly re flects public aentlmont, Indicates that what the republicans agreed on at that meeting struck a responsive chord aa to their platform and nominees. Thla being. true, tho party hna formed a strong nucleus about which to work for victory. Aa a matter of fact, alnce tho convention what varying elements there may have been within, the re publlcau party in Ohio have beua grad ually coalescing and today the party liresenta a formidable front to Its opponent. It presents a part that is determined on regaining as cendancy in the president's own atate by defeating Governor Harmon, thus eliminating him from the presidential contest of 1012. Thla aspect of the Ohio situation makes It national In Its scopo and attrarta the attention of the entire country. Governor Harmon's ro-electlon, aa the republicans realize, would mean much to the democratic hope. Tho managements of both partlea declare the liquor question will not bo injected Into the state campaign as a vital issue. The liberal element that supported Harmon when ho was elected has been disappointed by that astute politician and the drya know that they cannot project their efforts further and hope for the aid of public sentiment, so the matter hangs there. Thla brlnga the fight down between a progreaslvo republican party of, deeds and the democratic reactionaries, who are under tho additional handicap of defending the Inconsistencies In their present leader and hla administration.

It Is a wonder the democrats would not try to have all elections moved up for they alvs have big majorities In every month but November.

Detroit haa a city ordinance that dropa the ild at midnight and thla la what haa out raged the virtuous New York Elks. who brought back home reporta that It was uot an Elks convention at all, but a "picnic of the Curfew society."

If they thtnk De troit la virtuous, they would probably look around In Omaha to make aura they were not standing on Plymouth rock. The notable feature of the com plaint ia not ao much against the drastic law as against the fact that Detroit haa the effrontery to make no exception for New Yorkera. edly, If the movement stands the test In tho election of a legislature friendly to the Dlcklnaon-VVrlght proposition, the republlcana should be able to en trench themselves and hold their own for the future. Doth these men are natlvo southerners and both have served the country aa members of re publican administrations. Either, un doubtedly, would be acceptable to the republicans and democrats alike where the Issue la good government aa op posed to political piracy. 6hallenberper'g Questionable Campaigning. In seeking rcnomlnatlon In the com ing democratic prlmarlea Governor Shallenberger 1b evidently out for votes and does not care how be gets them. When In Omaha the governor has gone out of bis way repeatedly to boast of his friendly Interest In this city aa the commercial center of Ne braska, and hla supporters here are now busily engaged trying to perauade local democrata that Omaha haa noth ing to gain by throwing down the preo ent governor in favor of our demo cratic mayor. But while Governor Shallenberger and his Omaha cam palgn managers are offering fair words to Omaha, out In the state he la trying to curry favor by blackwashlng Omaha and making appeals to tfae rest of the state to teach Omaha a lesson. Governor Shallenberger has ' been putting out through all the democratic country newspapers that will print It an uncalled-for attack upon Omaha. This Bhallenberger boilerplate rep resents that he Is tho victim of aordld and corrupt business Interests arrayed agalnat him because of refusal to sub mit to tholr dictation. A fair sample of the Shallenberger campaigning may bo seen In the following extract: Omaha will learn, when It is too lata, that It pays to be fair In politics as well aa in bualnem. Ita bualneaa man should bear in mind that the making and awlllii of "booaa" la not the only thing that should be considered In Omaha. Thaaa bualneas men might to ramnmher that all ths buat noxa Interent In Omaha are auhjoct to 1K- iHlutlon, and becauae of thla. It Is necessary for thnm to encourage a spirit of Juatica and fair dealing. That 4s the aenaiblo and aafa rouraa for Omaha buslnaes men to take. Omaha should cultivate a aplrit of Justice In the whole state rather than an courage a spirit of reaantmant Those who have Nimt.olaJ InUresta In Omaha ara ths moat Intarcatad. Even thoaa who have financial Interests In the liquor hualnesa ara ahortslgrttad. Their attltuae is lining the atat full of dynamite. The fact that Governor Shallen berger ia practically assured of his re nomination makes this attack on Omaha all the more unexcusable. But he Is still several lengths off from re election, and It he thinks he can make headway by paying for the dtssemlna Ltlon of stuff like this . designed to poison the minds of the people of Ne braska against Its metropolis he is likely to wake up later to the short Blgnteanesa oi ma ivvuiuuy , Invite our Cleveland friends to come nd look at that part of the map occu pied by Omaha. The number of peo ple actually In Omaba has been stead ily greater every succeeding census, nd the apparent drop of 1900 waa due, as everyone knows, to the padded gures of 1890. Omaha's 1910 cen sus win show a gratifying ratio or rowth even if It does not catch up 1th the fiction of twenty yesrs ago. With the legislative layout that con- ronts the democrats, It Is Impossible to make up a ticket without Including some of the members of the late Doug- sa delegation denounced by Mr. Bryan "political porch-climbers." The emocrats will need all their sympathy for themselves. It seems that where Senator Gore made a serious mistake was In falling to protect other men's honor aa Jeal ously as ho did his own. If his mo tlves are not to be questioned, neither should the motives of some of the men he haa Involved on mere hearsay in very ugly charges. Remember that the open primary U open only far enough to let the voter put his cross-marks In one party col urns, The ballot that is marked for candidates In more than one party col umn will be thrown . out and not counted.

Wthsra, after ita editor-cngre-nn ts d.uMehuf!1el out of his am hitlon to be rnltea State senator, the World-Herald will not b so stuck on the so-caUeJ Ot(ton plan. Bailey Next on the List, By mentioning himself as a pros! dential possibility for 1912, Senator Bailey of Texas has placed himself on the firing line and he must now take the consequences. He knew when he let loose that presidential bee what had happened to Governor Harmon and what had before that happened to other pretenders who Imagined them selves to be good democrats. Know ing Senator Bailey to be a man of ex pertence, a politician of astuteness, strategist ef great precision, the coun try will conclude without argument that he has already made up his mind aa to how he shall treat the aummons "Prepare to stand aside," when cornea, as come It surely will, from the reerlesa Loser. So far as can be ascertained the Texas statesman dtd not even consult Mr. Bryan about running for the dera ocrattc presidential nomination. Per haps he haa been deceived aa to Mr, Bryan'a standing In his own state. Perhaps he haa Imagined that when Mr. Bryan went over the transom of the Grand Island convention It waa for good and for all. If Bailey haa been conjuring with such a delusion, he haa a great day of awakening coming. Moreover, the democrata of Ne braska are not through with Mr. Bryan, or at least he Is not through with them any mora than he ts with the democrats of the nation. He may not succeed In commanding Senator Bailey's obedience any more than he did Governor Harmon's, but he Is apt to Issue his orders, and If they are not obeyed Bailey, like Harmon, will hare Bryan to deal with when the show down come.

Mr, Bryan has now declared In favor of expelling from the democratic party those Illinois legislators who voted for Lorimer, it ia charged, tinder the persuation of a liberal fee. Although the Bryan order Is a little slow In coming. It seems all right: If that gentleman will explain one thing. Who Is the authorised person to turn people out at the party T If memory does not lead ua astray, Mr. Bryan haa assayed that function a couple of times, with very in different success. There Is not much foundation for the provincial belief that big business and profitable Joba in New York await tha re tirement of leading members of the govern ment at Washington. Tha belief has Ita origin In the demand among New York bankers for men familiar with tha opera tions of the treasury department, and the promotion of officials of that department to responsible positions In New York banks. But tha case la different with other voca tions. Only In exceptional cases doea a retired statesman, seeking a place of profit In New York, escape the worry and hustle of beginners. The experience of the late John O. Carlisle is cited to show that mem bers of tha legal profession, no matter how eminent, must themselves push open tha doors to profitable business. "It waa pre sumed," auya a New York correspondent. "that Mr. Carlisle had but to open a law office In New York after he retired from the office of secretary of the treasury, to find a large and very profitable clientage awaiting him. But It la a fsct that soma of hla political and personal fi lends having taken heed of his disappointment that clients did not come, took It upon them selves to solicit business for him. Ha was almost completely alona In this city, his wife and children having passed away and two of his grandchildren, having married, were occupied with their own domestic affairs. Mr. Carlisle seemed to feel some thing of chagrin at his failure to maintain himself In his profession, at least for the first two or three years after he came to New York. However, his rase Is not unlike that of others. Speaker Thomas B. Reed made no conspicuous success after he came to New York to practice law. Bo also David B. Henderson, who had gained great popular ity as a member of congrens and who served two tea-ma as aeaker, came to New York In the hope that he would build up a large law practice, an ambition which met with disappointment, although that may have been duo to 111 health, Three men who have served ss speakers In con gress, Carlisle, Reed and Henderson, who afterward attempted to secure large prac tlcea In New York, met with disappoint merit, for there was not full realisation of their hopes." The New York police authorities have Ht upon a plan which ought to mitigate the Ill-feeling between automobillsta and the police, and at the same time make for an Improvement In police administra tion. Identification cards are to be fur nished to automobile owners and blank forms of summonses to the police, and hereafter when the former lay themselves open to arrest for minor offenses against the dignity of the law, all that will be required on the spot will be a delay long enough for the policeman to record the name and address of the offending auto mobile owner from his Identification card and to deliver a summons to appear be. fore a magistrate at a definite time and place. Then the automoblllst may go on hla way without further molestation, and the policeman will not be taken from his post of duty. The penalty for failure to obey the summons Is sufficiently heavy to Insure respect for it, and the whole proo. ess is calculated to conserve the temper and the time of all concerned.

There I no reason for pesslniium in a study of the federal flnancea as set forth In the statement Just issued from the Treasury department regarding the transac tions of the last month. With a grand otl cash In the treasury of nearly $1,076,- OUO.OOO the United States cannot be regarded s In the least degree approaching bank- uptcy, whatever may be Ita obligations. With over fW.OOO.OOO In tha general fund and working balance In the treasury offloe over 830,009,000 and a showing of a debt reduction during July of over iTiOO.OOO, the reasury la In a position to give great en couragement to the administration. Whatever may ba the political effect of the tariff legislation of last year, the fatute Is undoubtedly bringing funds to the treasury. There has been, it Is true, decrease in the diatoms receipts during the last month, as compared with July. 1WW, of about $3,600,000, but this falling off Is ttrlbutable In large part to the enterprise of the Importers who a year ago were rushing goods Into the United States during uly to anticipate the new rates of the ayne law, soon to be applied. Compari sons previously Instituted between the re ceipts under the new and the old tariffs have almost uniformly shown increases of revenue. It may ba that these Increases will figure In the campaigning as an argu ment against the existing tariff schedules, but apart from that consideration the Im mediate effect la to relieve the treasury of tho strain under which It has heretofore been suffering by reason of a steady growth of the deficit. The corporation tax returns during July were over $6,000,000, greatly assisting In meeting the extraordinary de mands upon the treasury invariably felt upon the beginning of the fiscal year,-when the new appropriation acts take effect. The real test of the treasury condition lies In the' relation between disbursements and receipts. During July this year the disbursements exceeded the receipts by about $14,500,000, as against an excess of disbursements over receipts In July last year of over $18,600,000, a gain for the pres ent year of $4,100,000 in the dlrectioa of making the July receipts meet the July expenditures. It ia apparent that the cor poration tax, amounting In July, as stated, to over $6,000,000. has played an Important part in bringing about this closer adjust ment of outgo and Inflow in the first month of the fiscal year. A court decision declar ing this tax unconstitutional may have an Important bearing upon the treasury condi. tlon next year. Repudiating Patterson. Governor Patterson of Tennessee) has been repudiated by the voters of that state by the defeat of the Judicial ticket he submitted to them as a means of seeking a vindication of his actlou In pardoning Coloucl Cooper, the slayer of Senator Carmack.

Heretofore you might submit to or Ignore the Importunities of the tip hunter and still ba within your legal rights. But the comptroller haa officially recognised tna practice aa a legitimate item in the expense account of government officials or employes aad no ens can be safe here after. If you refuse, the precedent of the United States will ba thrown at you and. however otxrUnate may ba your determina uon noi to yieia. you cannot get away from the fact that aa a taxpayer, however indirectly, your money ia being used to encourage tha practice. Thla official recognition of the tip Is the more t be regretted becauae R waa within tha province of tha federal government to set an example, to establish a precedent that wouid have strengthened the wavering resolution of every unwilling victim In re tlsttng exaction. It government officials and emi loyes could get along without tip ping there would have been some hope for the private citixeo. But when they ara thua authorised to distribute alma from tie federal treasury the Inevitable effect must be to encourage the aractica and to In crease tho tlpa. adding still mora to the steadily advancing coat living.

Of course, all good democrata wish the rain bow could be caught and bottled for exhi bition. Of 'course most of them' smile, neV-er-the-less, over Mr. Lloyd's confidential announcement to the universe. There is a sound chance of democratic control of the next house. There is reason to believe, that, east aa well as west, many Individual voters, sympathising with tariff reform, and stirred by high prices, will quietly vote against regular candidates. But there Is no ground for expecting "regu lars" to prefer a democrat to an Insurgent republican, whatever form expressions of bitterness may take in August. Chairman Lloyd will do well to rub his eyes. The sooner he gets rid of the esthetic obsessions of dogdaya politics, the better It will be for the chances of the democratic party.
