Although the offlclal tanvaas of the recent Nebraska primary haa not been completed, It la certain that In the Flith congressional district the candi date who won out for the democratic nomination lost out for the-pdpultut nomination and the candidate who won the populist nomination was Ixjaten for the Jemocrattc domination. This situation is practically, repeated lu several other places on the ticket and therefore will at least 'not be uniqav wuvu iu cuvu ,r""- . v . . (h lh.f t nnm- to pull off one Of the Other Of tne nom Ineea for the purpose ot bringing about a fusion. ' ' :,v;V To nut it In a more striking form, a majority of the democrats voting in tbe primary rejected the candidate who won-the populist nomination and ... . . . . , A a majority ot tne popuiisis rejei-ieu the candidate who won the democratic nomination. To aubsUUte one for the other would be to overturn the ex pressed will of the maJorttyrand to let the voters of one party determine who the candidate of the other party should be. ' It seems to us that such - a fraud upon the ballot is not' countenanced by the law, to say nothing of being in direct violation of the principle of ma jority rule. In order to get his name on the primary ballot each candidate haa had to subscribe to a pledge "to abide by the result of the primary and qualify If elected." The candidate who la rejected in the primary of one party Is under obligation to abide by the result, notwithstanding the fact that he haa been successful In the pri mary of another party, and if the suc cessful candidate can be forced off to make way for an unsuccessful candi date, of what use is the pledge to qualify if elected? Where Governor Shallenberger has the populist nomination for governor and Mayor tahlman apparently has the democratic nomination, a still further complication arises because the primary law positively forbids counting votes cast for Danlman had a majority of the populists undertaken to write his name In, and this prohl bitlon must . be equally effective against any aubstltution after the pri mary that would do indirectly what the rank and file of the voters could not legally have done directly. It seems to us, therefore, that the secretary of state is in duty bound even now to stop this ballot fraud The secretary of state should refuse point blank to accept any withdrawal filed by a candidate pledged to abide by the result of the primary and to qualify If elected. Even should a court order him to aocept such a with drawal he should refuse to receive any nomination paper substituting the name pf ,.a candidate rejected by the voters In their party primary or In eligible to their choice. The theft of the populist label for the benefit of democratic candidates has no Justifica tion and every warrant of law should be Invoked to put an end to It Governor Hartley's Example. No matter what considerations msy have influenced Governor Hadley to decide against running for senator In Missouri, it la refreshing to know that he feels that his duty obliges him to serve out his term as the state's chief executive. It Is refreshing be cause so many governors are appar ently Impervious to such obligations and also for the additional reason that it may serve to Impress on the minds of others chosen to responsible public positions the real solemnity of office and bring them finally to see that It is not merely a stepping stone to be lightly kicked out of the way he min ute the foot leaves it for the next round up. "I have felt that I ought not to do anything to impair my effectiveness as governor, even tnougn I could thereby obtain an advancement to an other position," Governor Hadley says. Indeed, and the majority of the people In Missouri and most states will feel Just as he does about this. He knew when he was elected governor of the possibility of running for senator, Just as other governors have known, and he could not throw down the high office to which the people called him with seeming to discount his proper appreciation of their confidence In him. That Is the ethical and we might say, the patriotic view, but, of course, it Is not necessarily the political view. And yet it ought to be Impossible to rear the standard too high,'., even In POlitlCB. .'m In the long run, Governor; Hadley will lose nothing by carrying out his contract of employment? ill the executive chair for four years. When his time comes for prouaotlon he will have the advantage that properly be longs to a faithful and 'conscientious public servant. Tie Ingrate. ' ' Ingratitude Is one of the basest at tributes of the human character. It suggests not only a lack of apprecia tion, but a lack of a sense of obliga tion, a dishonest denial ot debt, a fool ish fear for vanity's sake of admitting one's natural dependence, or the sheer unwillingness to give aa well,.as to take a form of selfishness that is very hateful. The ingrate is a. person seldom courted either In business or society. He is known as a man, who uses others for his own ends, hut Is unwilling to serve others for their in terests. He Is eager to gat all h'e can, but ready to give nothing. Hls friend ship is spurious and worthless, -.f or It rests upon the fstal fallacy' that friends sre made only to accomplish his purposes. Men may easily and readily forgive Inability to repay or (respond, but they can not kindly forgive repudiation of friendship. Whether the favor poasesses an Intrin sic value or not, it deserves decent recognition, and the person who re fuses to accord this Is unworthy the favor and the friendship that prompted It. . . . Friendship needa the strength of mutual esteem to survive and mutual esteem is Impossible with an ingrate. Gratitude Is a cloak that often covers a multitude of sins. We may fre quently overlook very glaring faults in our neighbors if these faults exist at the expense of ingratitude. "He Is a thoroughbred, he will go the limit," la a vernacular aaylng we often hear. But it never refers or applies to a man who has not the manhood to recognize a personal favor. Rather it refers to a man who, whatever else he lacks, has honor enough in bis soul and grace enough In hia heart to admit his obligation to a fellowman, and his de sire to repay the debt and this quality will redeem a lot of bad ones. Hoke Smith ai a Radical. When Hoke Smith was governor of Georgia surprise was expressed at his radicalism and In his recent successful campaign for another nomination equivalent to election his ultra-radicalism has continued to be a subject of comment. People express surprise that a member of a Cleveland cabinet should wander so far from the old standards of conservatism as he has. True, Hoke Smith Js more radical than it seems any aouthern democrat of the old school would be, taking the most extreme ground on any of the three big issues in Georgia the race, the corporation and the liquor ques tion but does anybody know that he was ever really a conservative? The mere fact that he was a member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet doea not prove it. le, like every other member of that executive household, was dom inated by the overpowering influence of the president, and it may easily be possible that the country had no occa sion to discover the real temperament of the young Georgian. He was a lawyer of modest practice when recommended to Mr. Cleveland for the Interior porfolio and of course he never permitted his personal inclinations to outrun those of his chief. But when Georgia went with Mr. Bryan and his free coinage craze in 1896, Hoke Smith resigned from the Cleveland cabinet and joined his state; he threw off the cloak of conservatism which Mr. Cleveland's association had placed upon him and put on the silver armor to fight for the young Lochlnvar that had come out of the west. But that, It may be said! was mere state prjde, the natural course for a south ern man whose training and traditions in the preference of state rights would Invariably lead him Into such a direc tion. Then why did not the same In fluence so lead Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama, secretary of the navy In that same Cleveland cabinet, and John G Carlisle of Kentucky, secretary of the treasury? They were older men than Hoke Smith and if tradition and train Ing were to count In such a crisis, naturally they would count more with those to whom they had been more. But, while both Kentucky and Ala bama Joined with the Bryan silver party, Herbert and Carlisle remained In the cabinet and threw their lnflu ence in the campaign against fiat repudiation. It is indeed questionable If Hoke Smith has not always been of a radi cal turn of mind, bent more that way than toward conservatism. Yet with It all, one cannot study his career as governor of Georgia and now his rec ord as a successful candidate without concluding that he Is above all an opportunist, for what he favored be fore he now opposes and what he then opposed he now favors. Radical, opportunist or what not, Hoke Smith evidently fs an adept in the little game of politics which he Is playing so shrewdly and successfully down in Georgia. Crooked Detectives. Much ado haa bean made over tha em ployment of private -detectives for tha discovery of crime and the arrest of criminals. Wet journals denounce them aa sneaks, sleuths, etc., but no one can make auch criticism unleaa Ignorant or opposed to the enforcement of law. Offlclal Antl-Saloon League Organ. Not at all. No Intelligent person ob jects to the employment of detectives, publio or private, for the discovery of crime and criminals if the detectives are honest and use honest methods. What much ado has been made over is the seeming preference et antl saloonists to employ as detectives ex penltentlary birds, professional crooks and outlaw desperadoes ready to com mit crime themselves while pretending to detect crime. What is objected to Is the setting loose upon a community of escaped prisoners hired to Job marked victims and to swear innocent people into Jail for a price. If the work of the anti-Saloon league de pends for success upon the work ot mercenary perjurers Just out of wear ing stripes it would do better to go out of business. J. Adam Beds and John Llnd are now In the same class. The former governor of Minnesota ducked a re nomination by the democrats, who re fused to adopt a county option plat form, and when Bede saw one of these planka coming his way he also ducked and will not, therefore, be a repub lican candidate for the legislature. Colonel Roosevelt is for the direct primary, but not for the open primary such as that with which we In Ne braska have been afflicted by the late democratic legislature. The colonel doea not believe In Inviting democrats to make republican nominations nor republicans to msko denroorstlc nomi nations.

Now, what kind ot nature faking is it the weather man is handing us? The loss entailed by the fire at the Brussels exposition tarns out to have been greatly exaggerated. It. always Is. But then no great modern exposi tion would be a success without hav ing a few buildings burned while the show is In progress.

The chief baats on which the republican party haa a just right to aak for a major ity in the next house Is the work done In tha present house under President Taft's leadership. The leading meaaures were pro posed by him and In many oases drawn by hia cabinet. Laat March, when conserva tism and delay seemed likely to prevent any legislation, it was President Taft who In sisted that the pledges Of the republican party platform be fulfilled, and carried hia point. Little would have been dona but for his demand, and but for hia aid the western senators who now criticise him would have returned home empty-handed from a fruit less session. A Jaat Trlbate.

IV o Pardom for Accessories to the Crista of o. St. Paul Pioneer Presa. William J. Bryan Is willing to have bou quets thrown at him, but he wanta It understood that he cannot be "Jollied" Into forgetting the political past. The Commoner of laat week contained a reply to Henry Watterson's suggestion that Mr. Bryan could, win much applause by letting bygonea be bygones and joing with the eastern democrats in ' the support of some one who opposed Mr. Bryan In 1800. The Kentuoklan urgea that loyalty to the party In that, election should not be made the test during the coming con test. He would have harmony and united democracy through the oo-operatlon of Mr. Bryan and tha Bryanltes with those who have opposed the Netjraskan. Mr. Bryan explains that while he ap preclatea Mr. Watterson's kindly advice he thinka It would be working to better purpose to attempt to perauade those who bolted the ticket in 18S6, lftOO, 1904 and and to get into line instead of asking the six and one-half millions of Bryan followers to capitulate. He Is of tbe opin ion that tha party nominee should be a man with an unbroken record of loyalty. He believes It will not -be hard to find a can didate among those who stood by him and by Judge Parker during the laat four cam palgna. While he doea not aay so, it Is easy to see that he does not propose to be aidetraeked. There Is no denying that ha has much In fluence yet among those who voted for him whenever opportunity was offered. While he might not be able to land another nomination, and probably does not want It, he Is sure to be a factor In the contest An eaatern democrat of the anti-Bryan wing ot the party would have pretty hard sledding without the support of the Ne braskan and his frlenda. Mr. Bryan may not be able to win for himself, but It Is difficult to see how any one else could come near to success, without his support And his editorial In the Commoner seems very much like a tip to the bolters that they need expect nothing from hlra In the way of surrender.

How easy It sounds. But this Is one of the worst delusions concern ing city government It is true that the bualneaa affalra of a city should ba carr'ed on in a business way, and that good busi ness and technical men should be put at the head of departments and details; but for the general management and political control a prime essential vhlch cannot ba dispensed with something more Is needed. The government ot a large city is a highly complex legal and political machine. It haa, prescribed by law. all sorts of necessary checks and limitations upon official power. A business man may do Just as he likes in his business, but not as a mayor or In any publio office. There he is a mere Instru ment to carry out the laws. Hia power of attorney ia the law. The ohlef obstacle to the nomination and election of fit men to city office Is national and state party prejudice or bigotry carried Into local politics. It should never be men tioned there. The motto of every sensible man should be, national politics and Issues for national elections, state politics and is sues for state elections, and local politics and issues, and none other, for local elec tlons. Every time this is said people, who talk more than they think. Including some newspaper editorial writers. Immediately cry out that it is visionary, that parties cannot be done away with, that they are necessary. Certainly they are necessary, and there Is no suggestion of doing away with them. Votera In local elections should cross the national party Una freely, being Influenced by local considerations only. Certainly a voter who will vote for candidates of a party In a local election almply because he believes In a protective tariff, or In free trade, or in a tariff for revenue only, or In a single standard of metallic money, which haa nothing whatever to do with the case, la doing a very atupid If not degrading thing. He Is responsible for local bosses; his party prejudice plays right Into the hands of the boas. Nothing should Influence the voter In a local election except tha local questions of men and measures which are up for consideration. And It Is a misnomer to call officials nonpartisan who are elected In this discriminating way. They are partisans, but only on local issues, and It Is entirely seemly and proper for them to make their appointments to office or place from the local party which elected them. An inevitable cause of corrupt local gov ernment Is the control of the government, or the conduct of officials by outside bosses or organisations. The long era of that oonditlon Is passing. When the writer of this article so stated In Tammany hall during -the last mayoralty contest in the city of New Tork he received mors ridi cule than sober consideration for it And yet we are on the eve of being completely emancipated from such condition. Only an Ignorant : or ' corrupt community could elect a mayor who would be such a tool. A publio official should act from a sense of official responsibility only. This doea not mean that ha should Ignore poli ticians or party - leaders., or refuse to .oonsult" with them, but only that1 in the end he ehould follow his own enlight ened Judgment in every official act. A mayor, governor, or president may learn much in respect of what not to do, by listening to the advice of political lead ers, or even political bosses, as they are called. It is only a weakling who will de olare after reaching some high office that he will have nothing to do with "politi cians;" and it Is always painful to see such an official distrustful of his own fortitude or integrity, or else so confident that he knows everything, as to assume such an attitude. It Is tha sign of a little man. FARM VALVES AND AUTOMOBILES Storlca of Eatravaaravace Shewn to Be Exasperated. Wall Street Journal. It la gratifying to learn from The Omaha Bee that 67 per cent of the deposits In Ne braska banks belong to farmers; but the ratio should surprise nobody, considering that the state la essentially an agricultural community . and ' has harvested uniformly good crops for upwards of a decade. Many Nebraska farmers of the older generation are retiring to city homes of a degree of luxury that soaroely existed In the state at the time tbey first entered It. The farm homes themselves, as a rule, leave little of comfort to be desired. But If "the consen sus of opinion among bankers la that farm-, ers are as well able to own automobllea now as they were to own carriages In former times," the bankers are probably overdrawing the situation somewhat, unless by former times Is meant the year In whloh more foodstuffs eroaed the Missouri river westward than In the other direction. Flat comparison of the cost of an automobile with that of a horse and carriage, of course, would only begin to tell the story. That "the Increase In land value during the laat year la double the coat of automo biles purchased" Is not only Irrelevant, but probably not true. What The Bee, or the writer of the dispatches quoting The Bee, no doubt meant to aay ia that the Increase In land prlcoa has been double the first cost of automobiles. In many sections of the west It Is yet to be demonstrated that farm lands can under average conditions be made to pay a satisfactory return upon their prevailing market valuations. But as suming that the land can pay such return. It would be the height of folly for a man In the business of farming to tie up un productively a capital aum equal to half the Increment in the value of thla land, with no other Justification than that tha increment had taken place and could be realised through sale. Farmers as a class are probably less blameworthy on the score of automobile ex travagance than most other classes of the country's population. There is reason to believe that they furnish fewer cases of continuously expensive luxuries Installed on borrowed money. But It la not worth while to work out fine degrees of guilt in such matters. The fact of prime Importance la that all classes of the population and all sections of the country have for some yeara been reckleas of Income. It Ilea with tha Individual to question himself more sternly than has been his wont upon the economic propriety of his unnecessary expendtlurea, whether for automobllea or anything elaa. Obstacles to Modern Piracy. Boston Transcript. Steam put an end to piracy, A ateam pirate ship never existed. The failure of the two pirates who slew the captain of a Pacific coast steamer to keep control of the craft was due largely to the refusal of tha engineer who had barricaded blroaalf In the engine room to allow the vessel, to move. Then the tables were turned on the assailants, the survivor of whom Is now Ifi jail and will probably give to hia piracy one point of resemblance to the piracy of 1 the past by expiating his misdeeds on tha J gallows.

Prospective Restriction on (he "Free dom of the Air. Philadelphia Press. The promiscuous flying of a French aeroplane across the German frontier Is not altogether relished In Germany. The German press denounce It as an offense against International good manners, if not a trespass against the frontier regula tors. Aerial navigation offers new op portunities for Inspecting fortifications and for smuggling that will doubtless result 1n bringing air craft within regulations. The atmosphere which Is now free to all will (have boundaries) estaialtshed which the sallora of the air will disregard at their peril. There la need of still other regulations for aviators. Uwi are required regulating aerial navigation In the Interest of dwel lers on terra flrma. The recent accident by which a number of onlookers In a great assemblage were Injured by a falling aero plare at a public exhibition, as well as the death and Injury of the aeronauts by fall ing, urge the adoption of air rules by whloh all Interests involved may be ade quately protected. These laws should govern the right of way In the aerial re gions to prevent collisions, regulate the methods of ascent, descent and the couree of navigation, so that the lives of the publio and the aeronauts may be as far aa possible safeguarded. A special commission appointed by the French government Is now engaged In framing a set of regulations that Is ex pected to fix the legal status of aviators and their machines. This most Interesting of recent Inventions Is coming Into such wide use that Its legal rights and respon sibilities should be established both for the protection of those who ride In the air and also for the crowds and property below that by this new use of the atmos phere are exposed to a .probably , infre quent but still substantial peril. Talks for people Some advertisers use newspaper space in an Impersonal sort of way as though someone else paid for it They pay little or no attention to the prepa ration of copy, allowing someone of vast Inexperience to write it, using the same copy over and over and day after day this careless slipshod, in effectual advertising appears over their names. . We are having illustrations every day of the success of carefully thought out, well-written, direct advertising against the other sort, and the reason for it Is twofold: Slack advertising is a pretty fair Indication ot slack busi ness methods, and the people will have none of It; whereas, the straightfor Peroxide Hi EJi Ui For Pa rficular Particular people who value their appearance take a great deal of pains to keep the skin soft, clean and healthy as It not only reflects one's physical condition, but it is a key to one's characteristics. pimple on the end of the nose would make a beautiful woman appear grotesque, while a soft, clear akin lends attractiveness to a plain looking person and generally de notes cleanliness. "You know Southern women usu ally have fine complexions, and I sup pose I would be telling secrets to say that these exquisite complexions In Mobile are due In a great many cases solely to the use of A. D. S. Peroxide Cream," says David S. Bauer, druggist of Mobile, Ala., and member of the A. D. 8. National Formula Committee. "It haa a large sale here, and Is uni versally liked by both women and men."
