Unifying the Party.
The effective movement toward
solidifying the ranks of the republi
can party, which is plainly in progress
tnrounhout the country, Is the very
thing the democrats had hoped would
not take place before the November
election. The democrats had counted
on a divided opposition and a conse
quent victory In the make-up of the
(next house of representatives, with In
cidental success In other elections.
But this is where they have reckoned
wrong, and their mistake but serves
to illustrate the fatal weakness of the
party of negation, one that places no
reliance on Its own Inherent, aggres
slve strength.
It is, plain enough also to any hon
est observer, whether he be democrat
or republican, that the republicans are
utting in their time today "getting
together," healing whatever breaches
may have existed in their ranks, and
It may be taken for granted that by
the time election day comes round they
will be able to present a formidably
united front, one that will have little
trouble in maintaining the republican
majority In congress. This is espe-.
clally desirable, not purely from a po
litical party standpoint, but also from
the standpoint of the country's good,
for with a congress In harmony with
the president that part of the admin
istration's program not completed at
the last session may be fully rounded
out, and all the pledges on which the
party won out In 1908 redeemed In
finished form.
The beBt part of the harmony
movement now going on Is that It
represents concessions on both sides
regulars and insurgents. No other
sort of unity would bi worth talking
about, but this sort is worth every
thing. It effaces differences and ef
fects definite agreements and pro
duces a thorough determination to
carry the day in November. That It
has required more than ordinary skill
and sagacity on the part of the leaders
to accomplish all . these tangible re
sults will be generally admitted, for
against such an outcome has been ar
rayed all the subtle forces which the
opposition could possibly muster,
How Times Have Changed.
A few days more than fourteen
years ago William Jennings Bryan
made his famous Madison Square
Garden speech, which for pure ora
tory, even critical New York pro
nounced superb, but as logic and as
forecast of national .- policies to
be adopted, in the event of Mr.
Bryan's election as president, the
speech all but appalled the con
servative element of the country.
No vivid memory is required to recall
the predictions of dire calamity Mr.
Bryan then made if. the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the .sacred
ratio of 16 to 1 were not adopted.
Industry and commerce would be par
alyzed and labor-1 would beg in the
streets; prices of farm products would
go so low that half the farmers, in
the country would be unable with the
largest crops to pay the interest on
their mortgages and the bottom' would
fall out of the stock market entirely,
That was in the fag end of the de
pression of the '90s and the people
were already feeling none too happy,
Union Pacific stocks were selling at
1 4 a share and other stocks corre
spondingly low. Farm products were
at the minimum and farm mortgages
the rule. It so happened that on the
fourteenth anniversary of this tocsin
of financial ruin. Union Pacific stocks
were selling at $160 and others were
uniformly high, while this same Union
Pacific, since Mr. Bryan's memorable
speech had hit the high water
mark of 219 and ' even, in -the
1907 panic stuck around $100.
Farm mortgages today are the
exception, rather' than the rule; farm
products bring higher prices than
ever; land Is worth more and mills
and factories all over the country are
running at full blast and labor is
getting more pay for shorter hours
than it ever got. The country, as a
whole, is on a sounder and safer basis
of actual prosperity than it has ever
been; and all this hag been brought
about on the gold standard without
waiting for the aid of Mr. Bryan's
free and unlimited coinage of silver
and other heresies.
Are the Railroads Bluffing?
Those railroads whose officials have
thrown out the veiled threat that un
less the government permits the de
manded Increase in freight and pas
senger rates they will quit the business
and turn over their property to the
United States, are adopting foolish tac
tics. Nobody is deceived by that kind
of argument and the railroads cannot
hope even to gain sympathy, a good
asset sometimes, by resorting to It
This long pending fighting over
rates has served to show that the peo
ple delayed their policy of railroad
rate regulation too long. The rail
roads became too much accustomed
to the good old easy ways of the past;
the people were -too patient and toler
ant. What today seems to the rail
roads as hardship, will eventually be
viewed by them as eminently fair and
just.
But, in the meantime, the people
are not ready to have railroads owned
and operated by the government any
more than the railroads intend they
shall have them. The people want
railroads owned and operated by
private capital under proper govern
ment regulations and thla is what
they are going to insist on. The rail
roads have no reason to fear the
power of the people, for there is a
dominant element of sober Justice in
this country that will never sit by and
I see lnf ustice done the railroads, to
which, after all, the American people
owe much as forces of civilization and
empire building, as well as modern
commerce and education. The people
will try to be fair and they cannot be
frightened off a good Job by this war
talk, bo long as railroads are earning
good dividends. In spite of all high
prices and high wages.
Not So Fast.
There Is Just one nquest we have to
make of the next legislature, and that Is
that when the bill coms up to redlstrlct
the state Into congressional districts
Washington cotir.ty wants a clean and
final bill of divorce from Douglas county.
t'oMKlas Is nut only entirely out of sym
puthy with no politically, but It Is unfair
for two small counties Ilka Sarpy and
ti ls he hooked up to a big, overbearing,
Inconslderato bunch of selfishness, such
as Douglas has so often shown herself to
be. As an example, the committee on
tesolutlons at the recent state convention
was composed of one man from ortch con
gressional district and one at largo. Do
you think Washington or Sarpy was ever
consulted for a minute? This then is our
brief, omitting the long story of slights
and forgettins the disgrace of o long a
urlon with such an unholy bunch, we pray
to be set free that we may unite with an
other district on some reasonable basis of
equality nnd Justice. IJIalr Pilot.
Even though the union with Wash
ington county was not particularly of
Douglas county's seeking, still a bill
of divorce will not be Issued so fast
nor except for substantial reasons. If
the state were willing to concede
Omaha and Douglas county one mem
ber of congress all for itself, we in
Douglas county would doubtless be
content. But there is no immediate
prospect of more than six congressmen
for Nebraska and If Douglas county
has to be joined up with other coun
ties to make a congressional district
Washington county is the most nat
ural partner.
So far as the two counties being out
of sympathy politically is concerned,
that is by no means evident, and the
charge that Douglas county prepon
derates In the district is simply an
other way of stating that the dog
wags the tail, and not the tall the
dog. Washington and Sarpy counties
have always had generous considera
tion at the hands of Douglas county in
republican organization and no one
who is unprejudiced can have any real
fault to find.
There is one place, however, where
a bill of divorce might be given by
mutual consent, and that is in the
judicial district. We know of no good
reason for joining three rural counties
to Douglas county, almost entirely
urban, for the administration of jus
tice, and giving the district seven
Judges. Omaha and Douglas county
could get along nicely with five dis
trict judges of the right kind, and
the judicial business of Sarpy, Wash
ington apd Burt counties could be
readily taken care of by the Judges
of other districts. It a rearrangement
of the judicial district will solace our
Washington county friends any for the
disgrace they must submit to by asso
ciating with the metropolis of the
state, they may be so far accommo
dated.
Shallenberger's Queer Notion.
By his peculiar performance in con
nection with the ouster suit against
Omaha's chief of police Governor
Shallenberger evinces queer notions of
his relation to the officers of subordi
nate municipal governments. Omaha's
city charter makes the chief of police
the head of the police department sub
ject to the orders of the mayor, who is
the chief executive officer of the city.
The chief of police would be amenable
to discipline, if not to dismissal. If he
wilfully refused to obey the commands
of the mayor, and yet the democratic
governor has instituted ouster pro
ceedings against the chief of police
without taking any steps whatever to
hold the mayor responsible for alleged
law violation. The county attorney is
specifically charged with the prosecu
tion of criminals, but because the
county attorney happens to be a dem
ocrat no steps are taken by the gov
ernor to bold him responsible for al
leged law violation.
But still more strange is the action
of the governor addressing a letter to
the chief of police calling upon him
specifically to see that the election
laws are enforced in Omaha In the im
pending primary. In so doing the
governor goes over the head of the
mayor, who is the chief executive
charged wjth the enforcement of the
law, and assumes to give orders as
governor to subordinate officials of the
mayor. Governor Shallenberger's
sudden personal interest In the en
forcement of the election laws in
Omaha is explainable only by his own
candidacy for renomlnatlon. The
election laws were the same last year
and the conditions In Omaha no differ
ent, but the governor saw no occasion
to write to the chief of police, pre
suaiably because he, himself, was not
on the ticket.
Our democratic governor is a great
politician, but he needs a legal ad
vlser at his elbow all the time.
The legislative ticket recommended
to republicans by The Bee Is made up
of representatives of all nationalities
and of all the elements of the com
munity whose votes will be needed to
elect It It includes foreign-born citi
zens and native born citizens, represen
tation for South Omaha and the coun
try, working men, business men and
professional men. It is a balanced
ticket that should appeal favorably as
a whole to every republican who wants
vote-getting candidates nomlifaTed.
. . - I
Polls do not close until 9 p. m. in
today's primary. The ballot contains
five party tickets, with from one
to twenty-eight candidates' names un
der aach office heading, ao we beg our
readers to realize the fact that the
canvass will begin late, the count will
be slow and complete returns Impossi
ble to present with the promptness to
which they have been accustomed
heretofore. The open primary and Its
abominable ballot will make It more
difficult than ever to get early and sat
isfactory returns, and It will be sev
eral days before the result is known
in contests that are reasonably close
throughout the state.
We regret to report that the thriv
ing city of Independence, Mo., is in
the throes of civic strife. According
to the Kansas City Star the city coun
cil has laid down the ultimatum to
the official dogcatcher, "Get more
dogs or resign," whereupon that offi
cial, who chances to be an aged col
ored man who walks with crutches,
replies, "I lost fifty pounds las' year
tryin to ketch them there curs. All
of 'em musta had a dash of greyhound
in 'cm, they run so fast." Indepen
dence should either produce a slower
breed of dogs, or get a poundmaster
who can walk without crutches.
County Commissioner Fred Brunlng
deliberately sold out his party for a
Job for George B. Stryker, a profes
sional hangman and notorious grafter.
Stryker is down and out and it is time
for Brunlng to follow suit. Every
self-respecting republican in the Sec
ond commissioner district, which con
sists of the First, Second, Third and
Tenth wards of Omaha, will vote for
John C. Lynch for the place now held
by Brunlng.
Our old friend (by permission), Ed
gar Howard, has been speaking right
out In meeting about Congressman
Editor Hitchcock, saying almost as
mean things as he said two years ago
about "Check-book" Latta. Yet two
years ago Latta was nominated and
Edgar supported him, and we can only
judge the future by the past.
Would-be Senator Hitchcock puts
out his legislative slate mlsbranded,
"Democratic Citizen's Ticket." That,
however, is characteristic ot the hlde-
behlnd-the-other-f ello w policy with
which he has pursued, his senatorial
campaign.
It is a great spirit that Mayor Gay
nor displays toward his assassin in
ht wanting him prosecuted, believing
him to be insane. 'Ifwould be bet
ter, however, to eliminate the soft
pedal.
' Kansas City boasted about having
300,000 population and showed up
240,000 in the census. Omaha may
feel consoled, therefore,' when it has
to back up on-its claim of 150,000.
If Old Nick hears that they play
base ball in heaven, he will doubtless

Brigadier General Tasker H. Wis., t'. S.
A., who has been on duty in the War de

time as acting chief of staff, left Wash
ington on Thursday for Pan Francisco,
where he relieves Malor General T. H.
Barry of the command of the Department
of California. General Barry will suc
ceed Colonel H. L. Fcott a superintendent
of the military academy.
The recommendations of the board on
an equipment for the Infantry arm are
still before the chief of staff of the army,
so far as relates to certain articles or ap
parel. It Is desired to hear from the
cavalry equipment board now in session
In Rock Island before there Is final ac
tion. The Items which are still being con
sidered Include the hat, short overcoat,
poncho, shelter half and swester. It Is
appreciated that there are advantages In
the way of economy In having the In
fantry and cavalry possess uniform equip
ment in articles that pertain Identically to
the two branches. It Is possible, of course,
that the cavalry equipment board will pre
fer the slicker to the Infartry poncho, but
it Is likely there will be agreement upon
the shelter half. There is likely to be con
siderable difference of opinion between the
Infantry and cavalry concerning tho leggin,
but on this subject, too. It will be deeirable
to have agreement upon some type.
The prospect have never been so favor
able as they are now for a material In
crease In the personnel of the army medi
cal corps. The examination of candidates
recently conducted has produced twenty.
seven qualified candidates, who had been
commissioned as first lieutenants In the
army medical reserve corps. The War de
partment authorised 132 candidates to ap
pear before the examining boards; of these
102 reported for examination; twenty-four
were rejected for physical reasons, seventy-
eight commenced the mental examination,
two withdrew, leaving seventy-six to com
plete the examination, and of this number
twenty-seven have been accepted. The
name of twenty-six were published In the
Army and NSvy Register of - last week.
The additional candidate who ha Qualified
i Dr. Lloyd A. Kefauver of Mlddletown,
Md. He was examined on the Isthmus of
Panama, where he has been on duty for
two year. Another examination will lako
place on September 6, and there are at
present twenty-five approved candidates
with the probability that there will be
other. They will be examined before the
board which conducted the last examination
each candidate being Instructed to report
at the army post nearest his residence.
There will be no examinations outside of
the United States. In the examination re
cently held two candidates appeared be
fore the board In Manila, but withdrew
after taking a part of the examination,
The next class at the army medical school

A material reduction ha been effected
during the last fiscal year in the number of
desertion from the military establishment
It is not possible to announce the exact pro
portion of deserter, but the forthcoming
annual report of the adjutant general ot
the army will have some Important infor
mation of a gratifying character on that
ubjeet This i a sufficient answer to such
an article a form the leading contribution
to the Cosmopolitan Magaslne for Septem
ber, entitled "The Shame of Our Army."
The author la Bailey Millard, and he un
dertake to show "why 50,000 enlisted
American soldiers have deserted," being the
total number of such culprits In the last
twelve year. The article i copiously
Illustrated by reproductions of photograph
which intend to show why the enlisted man.
is dissatisfied and why he 1 impelled to
desert and why, moreover, he ought to de
sert. It appear that the soldier is over
worked at task which are not congenial;
that a reward of 10 i offered for appre
hension ot deserters; that upon enlistment
he Is photographed and a finge rprint record
1 taken. The measure taken to prevent de
sertion, according to the article, are the
causes of desertion. On the contrary, the
system whtoh now prevails has been work
ing long enough to show Its effect and the
decrease In desertion during the last fiscal
year ha been at quite an unprecedented
rate. The official statistic on the subject
will make, this matter ridiculous. It la, for
that matter, the sort of screed which gives
aid and comfort to the wrongdoer and will
be commended only In that direction. It is
misleading to people outside of the service
and to that extent deserves notice.
Work Is progressing on the new edition
of the Infantry drill regulation with the
prospect that the volume, which Is to take
the place of the edition of 1904 will be pub
lished In tentative form some time during
the present year. It is likely that some
twenty-five or thirty copies will be Issued
at first and distributed to various organ
isations with a view to trying out the
pew feature and ascertaining whether any
change and modification ara advisable.
The military authorities believe that this
course will Insure drill regulations which
are satisfactory in all respect and which
adequately meet the need of the ser
vice. It 1 believed that to this practical
trial of the regulation It will be advan
tageous to devote six month or even a
year rather than resort to undue haste In
the final adoption of the new system. The
new drill regulations have been the sub
ject of very careful consideration In the
general ataff, where Colonel J. W. Duncun,
Sixth infantry, ha been in charge of the
work with lh assistance of Major Clar
ence E. Dentler, Twenty-third Infantry,
now on duty at the headquarters of the
Department of Texas, and Captain William
S. Graves, Twentieth infantry, who is on
duty In the office of the chief of staff.
Certain minor change are necessary in the
revision, which has already -been made, on
account of the recommendations ot the
Infantry equipment board. The recommend
ation from that source provide, for in
stance, that the first sergeant shall not
be equipped with the rifle, and If that sug
gestion I adopted corresponding changes
will hav to be made in the regulation.
Chen there are change In the method of
slinging and unsllnglng pack which must
b incorporated in th ow regulations.

heard about your shame. ' '

who has to flee; ,
There is not a nook within It where he ,.
