Nebraska in Congress.
The primary next week will deter
mine the possible range of choice at
the election for the men who are to
represent Nebraska in the next con
gress. In the First district those who want
the district to be on the political map!
at Washington should see to it that
William Hayward gets the republican
nomination. In point of ability, avail
ability and personal influence Mr. Hay
ward is head and shoulders over his
competitor, Mr. Tobey, even though
the latter might be preferable to the
democratic nonentity, who is by acci
dent now serving as congressman from
the First district.
In the Second district the choice on
the republican side is between Charles
L. Saunders and Judge A. L. Sutton,
both of whom have made public rec
ords in official positions. Mr. Saun
ders served three terms as state sena
tor and Judge Sutton is occupying a
seat on the district bench; either
ought to be able to redeem the dis
trict. The democratic competition
presents a poor bunch to draw from,
with little choice, because not one of
them could, if elected, keep from get
ting lost in the halls of congress.
In the Third district the republicans
again have two aspirants in the per
sons of former Congressman Boyd and
present State Treasurer Brian. Mr.
Bovd was elected once bv a small
by nearly z.ooo. Mr. Brian ran botn
times on the same ticket for state
treasurer, and in each instance carried
his district by substantial majorities
over his opponent. It. is for the Third
district republicans to decide which
can make the stronger showing
against Congressman Latta, whose
formidableness as a candidate must
not be underestimated.
In the Fourth district Charles H.
Sloan has the republican nomination
for congress unopposed and Bhould be
a winner In the election no matter
which one of the aggregation put up
for the democratic nomination should
come out ahead In the primary. To
an outsider it looks as if the demo
cratic nominee would be either Food
Commissioner Mains or District Judge
Good, who masqueraded as a nonpar
tisan when running for supreme Judge
last year.
The Fifth district tickets are sub
stantially made up with the unopposed
renominatlon on the republican side
of George W. Norris against Congress
man Sutherland, his democratic oppo
nent, whom Mr. Norris defeated when
he was first elected to congress.
In the Sixth district the republicans
may be counted on to renominate Con.
gressman Klnkaid, who has carried
the district four times. He will prob
ably have to combat Judge Dean at the
election,. another nonpartisan judicial
aspirant of last year, although the lat
ter has' no walkaway for the nomina
tion over the fighting populist, W. J.
Taylor, and the persistent democratic
rainbow-chaser, G. L. Shumway.
All in all. if present Indications may
be taken as a guide, it looks as it the
Nebraska delegation, now divided
three and three as between republicans
and democrats, would in the next con
gress show up a preponderance of re
publicans. Illinois Central Dragnet.
The Illinois Central is to be com
mended for denying Immunity baths
to those officials charged with convert
ing large funds belonging to the com.
pany to their own use In the falsifying
of contracts. If their hands deserve
official cleaning they can get it better
by due process of court trials.
For a big railroad to permit any
covering up of charges as grave as
these would be a serious mistake,
especially since some of the accused,
restoring funds to the treasury, have
virtually admitted their guilt. A re
sponsibility rests on the company that
cannot be discharged by anything
short of a thorough probing, no mat
ter how high up the official scale It
may strike. The company could no
more afford to pass over such syste
matic fraud than it could afford to
allow a natural imputation to rest
upon other railroad officials with
similar opportunities aa confronted
these men who went wrong. It is
not to be supposed that this method
of getting rich quick is a sys
tem commonly practiced by railroad
officials, but not one of the men In
volved in the present trouble would
ever have been suspected of such crim
inality. It is only fair, therefore, to
scores of faithful men that a complete
exposition and disposition be made in
this case.
Bryan's leadership.
Anybody who imagines Mr. Bryan
has decided to relinquish what hold
be may have on the democratic party
and himself "prepare to stand aside",
for a new leader should read again
what Mr. Bryan said in that dramatic
speech at Grand Island, vainly plead
ing against repudiation by his old
time associates.
"I have been criticised by some be
cause I did not consult other demo
crats," he said. "Whom would I have
consulted? If being the party's nom
inee for the presidency three times did
not give me the right to be classed as
a statesman, it at least made me a
leader. So when you criticise me for
not consulting anybody, I ask you,
whom would I have consulted?"
Mr. Bryan' certainly considers him
self. leader in the democratic party
and there is every reason to believe,
both from this very modest utterance
and from his subsequent conduct, that
he proposes to be the same sort of
leader In the future that he has been
la the past, and U he fails in that de-
termination it lll have to be because
the opposition to him in the national
democracy musters more strength
than It has ever been able to command
since he made his famous "crown of
thorns and cross of gold" speech at
Chicago and became the party's nom
inee for president.
National Irrigation Congress.
The National Irrigation congress is
sending out appeals to members and
representative business men to attend
the eighteenth session at Pueblo Sep
tember 2C-30, but its appeal ought not
to be necessary. The interest In irri
gation ought to be so keen in this
western, country that the tendency
would be to overcrowd one of these
conventions. What is there in which
the people of the west have a more
practical interest than irrigation? It
is the leaven of their commercial and
industrial development, therefore at
this congress, where so many impor
tant every-day questions are to be
acted upon, the attendance should be
large and representative.
The wisdom of irrigation, drainage
and forestry as elements in the scheme
of reclamation is no longer questioned
by men who know what they are talk
ing about, but men do disagree as to
the best methods of promoting this
great work, which is, after all, noth
ing short of empire building. There
is a right way and a wrong, so far
as getting the best results .is con
cerned, about reclamation as well as
most everything else,' and these con
gresses ought to do much toward de
termining what is the right and wrong
of it. The solutions of these prob
lems ought not to be left to our law
makers in Washington, nor to our
various legislatures, entirely. The
National Irrigation congress comprises
men who are vitally interested in the
proper methods to be employed and
they are the ones on whom should de
volve very largely the task of working
out these schemes. There is no reason
why men whose private business inter
ests are affected by the varying results
of reclamation should not take an ac
tive part in enabling the government
to come to the best solution of these
problems by giving their time and
study to them before they go up to
Washington.
The high cost of living problem is
intimately related to that of irrigation
in this western country, and so is the
matter of exports and Imports. If the
law of supply and demand governs any
part of these questions', then the whole
thing rests entirely on the productiv
ity of the soil, both as to quality and
quantity, and much of the sell of the
west would be all but barren without
irrigation. It is the big problem in
this section today. . ..
Oklahoma Politics.
The Oklahoma democratic state con
vention denounces the republican na
tional administration for "deplorable
conditions" arising from "misgovern
ment" of land matters in that state,
and in the same platform endorses
Governor Haskell and Senator Gore,
author of all these charges of at
tempted bribery, 1b one of the conven
tion's mouthpieces. It seems that the
senator Is making it harder every day
for the public to comply with his de
mand that no false motive be Imputed
to him.
If it were possible to crowd more
sham and Inconsistency Into one plat
form It would be Interesting to know
how. Whatever wrongs have arisen
from the spoillatlon of Indian lands in
Oklahoma are to be righted if the na
tional " government has the 'power to
right them, for President Taft has al
ready Issued orders to that end. He
is not going to depend on Oklahoma,
or even on the democratie party as
represented by the Haskell administra
tion. He is depending on the mighty
arm. of justice as reached, out from
Washington, and the chances are that
the young and obstreperous state of
Oklahoma will be given a rather im
pressive object lesson in righting
wrongs.
But in the meantime Haskell, whom
Senator Gore and his democratic
brethren have praised and endorsed,
still stands under the burden of fed
eral grand jury indictments In connec
tion with shady land transactions and
must answer the charges before the
federal court It may be one of the
fatal blights of political misfortune
that at every turn of the proceedings
thus far Governor Haskell has seemed
to come out second best in these
charges, and bis status is so uncertain
that the government has failed to
yield to all importunities to dismiss
the suits. ,
One passage In the Oklahoma plat
form Invites special attention. It is
this:
We demand that the United States gov.
ernment immediately right Its wrongful
policy and place the administration of lawa
In tha hands of those unselfish enough
faithfully to administer that great trust.
Of course, the thing to do is to turn
it over to the hands of Haskell and
bis Ilk.

Europe's "Grand Old Man," tha patriarch
of rule, Francis Joseph of Austria and
Hunaary. will cr lebrate the SOth anniversary
of his birth next Thursday. When the nee
tor of emperors was born, August 18, 1S30,
none of the rulers of today had yet seen
tha lla;ht. With the exception of President
Dlas of Mexico, baroly six weeks his
Junior, tha president of France, the king
of Greece and the sultan of Turkey, none
of the present heads of great states was
alive even when Francis Joseph reached
the throne In 184S. His reign of sixty-two
yeara. In the record of modern monarchs,
is second only to that of Victoria, and if
he lives until July of 191! he will have sur
passed Victoria's record of sixty-three and
a half years. No less notable Is the
splendid rhysical condition of the emperor
on the threshold of his ninth decade. An
exponent of the strenuous life, he demon
strated for the youthful exemplar, Theo
dore Itoosevolt, what on eider could do
when occasion offered. The Vienna pro
gram arranged for the ex-prcsldents visit
included petting up at midnight and reach
ing the grouse hunting uround at sunrise,
and the aged emperor beat the strenuous
hunter from Africa to the post. More re- j
cently the emperor paid a royal visit to'
Servla and Herzegovina and Went through
the various receptions and social functions
arranged In his honor without apparent
fatigue. Long formed habits of early ris
ing, living in the open air as much as pos
sible and frugal eating are the sources of
his long life and are now accounted the
fountains of his youthful spirit.
Lord Curson, lately viceroy of India, in
his second and last . paper on "British
Rule in India," in the North American
Review, attributes the growing discontent
in that country to two' reasons. "The In
dian movement," he says, "Is a part of that
uprising of natural sentiment in favor of
self-governing Institutions which has run
like a tide throughout the east ever since
the victory of Japan over Russia, and has
been equally visible in China, India, Persia.
Turkey, Russia and Egypt. In India it
takes the form not merely of a demand for
a greater share in the government of the
country and for some approach to parlia
mentary institutions, but in its cruder and
more violent shapes appealing to ill-balanced
Intellect, fed upon the rhetoric of an
hitherto uncontrolled press, or attacks
upon the instruments of an alien rule
culminating In the assassination or at
tempted assassination of high officials of
the government often (such is the unreasoning-
fatuity of the perpetrators) of those
who have been most conspicuous for their
service to the native cause. A second rea
son has been the general belief that there
has been some lack of firmness and con
sistency in the policy of the government,
which has attempted the difficult and well-
nigh Impossible task of running conciliation
and repression, so to speak, In double har
ness, with the result that the coercion has
usually been too late to frighten and the
conciliation too fortified to appease."
Photographs forwarded by the American
consul at Jerusalem to Secretary of State
Knox, show In a striking rrfanner how the
advance of modern Invention has reduced
lowly occupations the Arabian thorough
bred horse and the once Sacred Camel.
One picture 'showed a stately camel yoked
up with 'a humble cow, engaged In the
prosaic pastime of plowing a rough field.
In an' explanatory ' note the consul says
camels are still the chief beasts in the
Holy Land, although the railroads are
slowly" replacing the caravan routes, nota
bly In the case of the Mecca railway, where '
heretofore thousands of camels werecm
ployed, In transporting the pilgrims. The
camels are the single-hump variety, and
are raised only by the Bedouins. There
are two breeds, the ordinary targe variety
for work purposes and the kind used for
riding, which are slender and agile. One
Of these can, wrth ease, out-Ustance a
horse. The Bedouins who ralst and use
this variety are as careful to keep the
breed pure as other tribes are In respect
to their horses The Bedouins eat the flesh
of the camel, and as a mark of distinction,
slaughter a camel where a noted guest visit
them. Camel fleeh also eaten by Moham
medan peasants and tha poorer classes in
Jaffa and Gaxa. The skins are used as
rawhide to sole shoes worn, by peasants.
Egypt is the best market for camels, and
many are purchased there by the govern
ment for mllftary purposes.
Modern progress continues shaking up
the dry bones of old Jerusalem. Railroads,
telephones and electrio lights have settled
there, and next comes waterworks, for
which contractors are bidding. "Abundant

for those who put the flavor of antiquity
before everything else, but It will make
for cleaner habits and better health. Mora

Talks for people
Let a live advertising man start out
to do something and he usually does
It in an unusual way and to the
queen's taste.
When the Merrimao Clothing com
pany of Lowell, Mass., opened Its
doors it had all the appearance of a
smart New York clothes shop.
Suits, overcoats and raincoats hung
on racks behind glass doors, the floor
space was large enough for the cus
tomers to move about in comfort, the
smaller articles of men's wear . at
tractively displayed, window trims ar
tistic and tempting everything about
the place was as It should be.
The usual way of making altera
tions didn't appeal to this company,
so they bought out the leading tailor
in Lowell and put him in charge of the
alteration department.
Then they started their advertising
campaign and made good from the
very beginning.
Their way of doing business and
their out-ln-the-open advertising ap
pealed to the men of Lowell.
The best was none too good for
their customers, and they proved it.

they made with the goods and did
