Those Old Guards who have gone to the mat with Colonel Roosevelt in New York might well wish they were a little older at the gentle art of fight ing before they come out Of the ring. Another Jrimary Muddle. Friends of the direct primary nom inations, undoubtedly, will hesitate to accept as final some of 'the tests to which that law has been put this year. One example of conspicuous failure comes to light In the 8econd congres sional district of Virginia, where Rep resentative Harry Lee Maynard has apparently been defeated for renoml nation by forty-five votes by William A. Young. Mr. Maynard cries fraud and says that he was fairly nominated by 800 majority, but under the law be has no recourse, for, while he might demand a recount, he cannot demand a second primary and recounts, as is known even outside of Virginia, do not always Insure an actual recounting of the votes, or, if they do, they may fall to show where the fraudulent work was done. Each candidate says he paid out at leaBt f 1,500 to make his campaign. The first objects which the direct primary is designed to accomplish are honest nominations and the right of the common people tp run for office or choose their own candidates. Both objects are defeated in this case, ap parently. If Mr. Maynard's charges are true the winner is not the choice of the people, and if the financial state, ments of bothy candidates are true no poor man In that district could run for congress, for poor men do not have that amount of money' to devote to such purposes, and the very reform spirit of the law would forbid them accepting the money from others. One thing Is certain before the di rect primary ma be accepted as a po litical panacea or cure-all It will have to come nearer accomplishing what its opponents claim for it than it has yet come. Like every other sys tem of political selection, it must stand or fall on the basis of its own results. To be Ideal In theory is not enough; is practical utility we are looking for Just now. Empire of New York City. New York City, with its population of 4,766,881, is an empire. within it self. Americans naturally feel a thrill of pride, whether they live there or not, to know that next to London they have the largest city in the world and that, excepting London, they have a city larger than any other two cities in the world And the next census will certainly show another tre mendous gain, But with all this pride, those of is who' have grown UBed to plenty of space and fresh air will be able to console ourselves for not residing within the limits of this congested center. It is not asy for the Ordinary Individual to measure people by the millions, therefore it Is easier - to comprehend what this nearly 5,00Q,O00 population of . New Yor.k'B area would be nowhere as great 'York's means- when we reflect that, It comes ' very, near .equaling the com bined population of the fourteen cities of 800,000 or more, though New as that ot these fourteen cities. New York's average density of popu lation is 12,190, for it has an area of 309 square miles. Chicago has an area of 190. square miles according to. its last count after it had annexed most of Cook county, and rating its popu lation at' about 2.000.000. it chews 10,526 persons to every square mile. Manhattan the principal borough in New York, has a population of more than 2,330,000,. with an area of only twenty-two square miles, a density of population, therefore, of 105,909, greater than all of Chicago,. yet only one-ninth as large territorially. If Chicago could spread , sw population out over the suburban stretches that it has Included within its urban limits equal to Manhattan's rate,, it would have 20,000,000 people. But we may hope that the day will never come when even Chicago, with its "I Will" spirit, can do this. Undoubtedly Chi cago's percentage of increase in the next decade will exceed New .York's and it is easily possible that befo'e another decade after that has passed, the great western" metropolis may have caught up with New York. The Kaiser's Speech. Since Emperor William of Germany has never attempted to conceal his be lief in the divine mission of kings it seems passing strange that so much should be said about his recent ad dress at Koenlgsberg in which he is quoted as enunciating the divine right principle. What he actually said, and all he said, in that address was that "I am an instrument of God," and what he seems to have been anxious to impress was his belief that the hereditary kings of Prussia and not the social democrats should rule that kingdom. What Is there in this statement or in this doctrine as enunciated by the kaiser to give such alarm? Or why should the world at this late day be come alarmed over it, since he has al ways adhered to the very same sys tem and that, too, without any at tempt to conceal his adherence. He said in that address, nor has he ever announced his intention to rule with out regard to constitutional govern ment, and until he does that he gives no Just ground for public alarm. The fact that he believes in following the example of his Illustrious grandfather should give no uneasiness to his or any other nation. Emperor William Is a devoutly re Hglous man, henco his belief in the divine mission of kings, and ha is a steadfast disciple of established order, hence his horror at the increasing ma jorities of the social democrats and allied parties in opposition to the gov ernment These natural facta furnish all the explanation necessary for his so-called outburat at Koenlgsberg, In which, after all, there is nothing to cause alarm. Will Hoke Smith Suit Bryant It was a foregone conclusion when Hoke Smith was nominated for gov ernor in Georgia that he would be of fered as that state's candidate for president on the democratic ticket in 1912. The question that now arises Is, will he suit Mr. Bryan? It Is Idle to suppose that Mr. Bryan will not have to be suited. Those democrats who are running away with any other notion may Just as well get back to taw 'for a new start. His influence is not yet exhausted; he still has his following, and what better proof of the fact that many democrats who op pose him recognize this than the serial appeals of Colonel Wat.terson to the conciliation of the Nebraskan? Of the possible candidates now in the field Harmon, (tmrnor, .Francis and Folk, none would seem to have so strong a claim on Mr. Bryan's support as Smith, unless, of course, it be Folk. Harmon having refused to stand aside, is clearly outside the breastworks; Francis, though he has lately begun to flirt with the Peerless Leader, has never been a Bryan man and Gaynor is an unknown factor in this respect. One thing that might . estrange him and Mr. Bryan is the fact that he is be ing boomed and groomed by men in the east who never were of the Bryan school. ' But Smith, what of him? Smith has always been an out-and-out Bryan man. He thought eo much of the Peerless Leader that in 1896, when Georgia went with Bryan, he resigned his position in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, broke off all ties with the old wing of democracy and took up his arms in defense of the new commander and the new cause he snatched from Mr. Bland as his shibboleth. So far as prior service s concerned, therefore, Hoke Smith would seem to have the strongest claim of all on Mr. Bryan. But- it Bryan took up Smith as bis man it would be, not because of any thing Smith had done in the past to help Bryan, but his complete sub mission to whatever demands Bryan might make for the future and If the Georgian can make up his mind that the Bryan support is worth going after at all, he probably will not hesitate to go into whatever deal the Nebrasft&n pro posed, for when It cornea to radicalism Bryan has nothing on Smith. Of course Mr. Bryan has not yet announced his preference- for a southern man and the growing coldness of the south toward him might deter him in making such an announcement s . ' ". That Balance of .Power. J. . A Whenever . democrats - get - to the place where they feel like ; making a campaign issue out of the situation arising from the lBt Illinois legisla tare, the majority of whose members were republican, they mlgbt,with some degree of Interest, if not profit, reflect upon the fact that but for a democratic balance of power that situation would not have' come about. The man who has been twice tried for alleged bribery and the man he Is charged with "bribing are both demo crats; one was the leader of the dem ocratic side in the legislature. These facts make it rather embarrassing, therefore, for the democrats to Seek to build their present campaign upon the basis of this situation. It will not matter much, so far as publlo opinion goes, what the Jury, does In the second trial ot Lee O'Neil Browne; the ver dict ot the people has been returned a long while ago in his case and his fate is fixed. His influence," therefore, will be a negligible quantity in the competition for votes this fall. Nor will it make a great deal ot dif ference one way or the other as to the political housecleanlng to Illinois whether the jury convicts or acquits Browne. The vast amount of cumula tive evidence produced In. the two trials will certainly bear fruit and in the end the people of that state must reap a harvest ot better conditions as a result ot what they have learned to their own satisfaction regarding the enterprising activities of Messrs. Browne, White anUother luminaries in this great political color scheme at Springfield. That Constitutional Amendment The outcome of the primary in Ne braska produces an anomaly of the constitutional amendment changing suffrage qualifications submitted by a democratic legislature and rejeoted by the democratic electorate, while en dorsed by republicans, populists and prohibitionists. The amendment In question is de signed to make the right to vote in Nebraska hereafter depend upon full United States citizenship, but Is so bungllngly drawn, as has been already pointed out by The Bee, that in opera tion, if It should be ratified and en forced, It would disfranchise a large number of foreign born citizens who have been exercising the suffrage for many years as duly qualified voters under existing laws. This peculiar outcome is doubtless to be ascribed to the open primary whereby so' many of the liberal voters of all parties accepted the invitation to register tbclr choice ot candidates In the democratic column, and at the same time to vote against this pro posed narrowing of the . suffrage. Whether' tho amendment would have been endorsed or condemned In a re publican primary participated in by all of the republicans is wholly proble matic, but it further complicates the situation to have the republicans forced to carry an amendment cooked up by the democratic legislature cal culated to Alienate the foreign born voter, while the democrats have un loaded and are In fair position to square themselves with the very peo ple they had set out to disfranchise. From the primary vote on this proposition tt looks aa If the suffrage amendment would finally carry and be ratified at the polls through the ex traordinary device which will count every straight party vote In the repub lican, populist and prohibition circles as a vote "yes." But if so, we will have another object lesson of the extremely hazardous risk we are now taking here In Nebraska when we expose our organic law to repeated alteration without the positive affirmative action of a majority of the legal voters. - The tremendous growth of popula tion In Greater New York will serve as a text for many disquisitions on the various phases of urban life. But if It Illustrates one point clearer than an other it is the tremendous develop ment of the United States generally. New York Is the great nerve center of American life and its tremendous growth is possible only because the nation has grown In proportion. The arrival of new secretaries apd assistants for the local Young Men'l Christian association and Young Woman's Christian association indi cates the beginning of another season of actve work along social lines In Omaha. However, if it were not for these arrivals we would not realize that the new season was beginning so steadily has the work progressed. If Tom Watson is still bothered with that notion that asBasslnB are after him, let him boil a little ginseng and mullein stalk and take a teaspoonful of the juice three times a day, and If after three days the feeling is not gone he will not care then whether he is as sassinated or not Jupiter Pluvlus is supplying an overtime engagement around these parts Just now. While his attentions are always welcome, they would be more thoroughly appreciated if he were to distribute them with a little better Judgment than he has recently shown. Bryan ate breakfast the other mom ing with Dave Francis at the latter's horn in St Louis. When it is re membered that Folk also resides in St. Louis one cannot help but wonder if the Peerless Leader means this as his choice for senatorial candidates. The action of the sheriff in stopping an alleged boxing exhibition at South Omaha will meet general approval. Omaha is a most liberal patron and earnest supporter of legitimate sports, but there Is no room here for profes sional pugilists. Some secrets ot railroad ' book keeping are being brought out in the rate hearings in progress in Chicago, but so far the showing has alVbeen in favor of the corporations.

Is It Worth tho Effort New York World. So far the railroads have produced no reasons before the Interstate Commerce oommlsalon tor raising their rates for mov ing the country's freight except that they need 1 more money. On that sole ground they propose to disturb trade and Industry In all parte of the country by Increasing their charge! and to lay heavier burdens upon the backs' ot millions of consumers who are already groaning under the exces sive cost of Hrfng. As a means of starting a fresh anti-railroad agitation they have selected the most promising method. September S, 1810. Btewart L. Woodford, diplomat, was born September t, 1886, In New York.

An Inspired official explanation of the "dlvlns right" speech of Emperor William comes perilously close to the custom of American politicians, who, when guilty ot Indiscreet utterances, charge the report era with misquotation. The explanation Is to the effect that the kaiser, being a deeply religious man, considers himself an Instrument In the hands of Providence for the advancement of Christianity at home and abroad. It Is asserted that the kais er's words have been misconstrued, their meaning distorted and sentiments of abso lutism read Into them for the purpose of agitation. In a material, worldly sense the kaiser will continue, as heretofore, drawing hla salaries from the publlo purse and refer In all essentials to the will of the Reichstag. The" explanation serves to dull the edge of German criticism of abso lutist tendency, but the Widespread pro test, sharply and promptly uttered, carries a warning of the spirits of '48 which the kaiser cannot prudently Ignore. Uke the ferment of two years ago, when the kaiser's diplomatic supremacy was sharply abridged, the present one swept the em pire like a tidal wavo, showing unmistak ably the trend of public sentiment on Im perial pretensions. It Is not unlikely that the kaiser's speech, notwithstanding tho Inspired modification, will Increase the troubles bt the ministerial coalition. The position ot the ministry has been shaken repeatedly ainoo the retirement of Chan and Is gaining recruits In the country at cellor von Buelow. The socialistic party Is Increasing its strength la the Reichstag a notable rata. Refusal of electoral re form, Increased taxation and Increased cost ot. living makes for discontent and puts the responsibility on the government. It is of supreme Importance, therefore, to avoid the appearance of coupling Provi dence .with the worldly side of monarohy. That curiosity among European hotels, the "no tip" hotel of London, opened on the Btrand last year, Is enjoying great prosperity. The hotel has been open for M nights; the director says that not one room has been empty during all that time, while scores of would-be guests are turned away dally. And, he Insists, he is turning people away now, the dullest sea eon of the year, when most of the hotels are scarcely half full. Quests who are dis covered breaking the rule and giving a tip are Informed that their rooms have been let for the next night; any employe who accepts a tip Is discharged promptly. The hotel was . established by Joseph Lyons, the caterer, who does the largest business In England, and who occupies his spare time by painting In oils and writing sen sational stories and melodramas; his vil lains are never dyspeptic. When the hotel opened proprietors of rival hoetelrles de clared Lyons would find it Impossible to carry out his "No tip" system. But their eyes have been opened by the public's eagerness to keep some of Its money In Its pocket The prince regent of China, by Imperial decree, has made English the official lan guage of ill Chinese schools of "modern learning." A memorial of the ministry of education, -on which the prince regent bases his deoree. e'xpresaly recognises tho inadequacy of Chinese to render technical and sotentlflo terms, notes the Incongruities that have ' arisen through the rivalries of foreign trained Instructors and says the time has come for uniformity. English, It continues, was the first of foreign languages Introduced In ' China; It Is most widely used there; and In the world. Most imported text books are In English. "It Is, therefore, proposed that in the different schools teaching technical and scientific subjects the English lan guage be adopted. In the case of sohools which do not now Include foreign lan guages In the curriculum they must In the future be taught The study of foreign languages la to be made compulsory In those schools where they are now optional, Liquor license statistics In England and Wales have an especial Interest, growing but of the fact that one of the primary purposes of the existing law la to reduce the number of places at which liquor Is allowed to be sold. That the law is actu ally having this effect Is shown by the official statistics Just published, from which It Is gathered that the number has declined from 1M.841 to $8.94 per 10.000 of the population In' 1895, to M.MS, or M.80 per 10,000 of population In 1009. In recent years, however, the registered clubs have increas ed at a greater rate than has the popula tion, the rate since 1904 having been to. 31 per cent, aa against a gain of only 6 per cent In the population. On the other hand, there was a great decrease In 1909 of con victions for drunkenness. Five years ago there were 88.68 suoh convictions for every 10,000 persons In England and Wales; last year the number was BI.lt an indication that the Increase of clubs has not In creased Inebriety.

If the figures given out by the Depart ment of Agriculture regarding the falling off in the number of meat animals in the United States tell anything at all. they make It very clear that the price of meat Is sure to rise. There were 20,000,000 such animals In I'M and only 1, 500,000 In 190!). The reasons assigned for this decrease seem to boll down Into the statement that animals are scarce because com Is high, and that corn Is high because the farmers are feeding It all to their ani mals. The contradictory elements which this sort of reasoning presents do not, however, affect the fact that we have hot now, and are not likely to have, enough meat to go around, even at the high prices paid for It. So far as a supply of meat In America Is concerned, there la no doubt that the people have been spoiled by the great abundance of It In times past. This is very evident when the condition that has prevailed here for so many years Is com pared with that of European countries. Among the most Incredible stories that Immigrants send home to their friends In the old country Is the, statement that they may have meat here three' times a day. The utter prepoaterousness of that story has time and again shaken faith In anything else that might be told about the United States. The vegetarian Is coming Into his QW n, and the man who tells Americans that, a a nation, they eat too much meat will come Into evidence, while the many who I still hanker for the cutlet and the steak ! will, with the wisdom of the fox who lost Its tall, conclude that after all, they are really better 91 f without It. Mean while, the thrifty housewife, who now perplexes herself with the dally problem of getting the meat out of her limited allowance, will face a new problem of trying to provide a satisfactory meal with out It, realizing as so many women do, that a firm hold Is kept upon some men's affections b'y feeding them well. The Parmer and tho Automobile. ' Leslie's Weekly. The poor farmer, who has always been a convenient scapegoat for everybody else's follies. Is now being I.ammered be cause he owns an automobile. Vet there is no class of people to whom an automo bile may mean mors than to the farmer. We once heard an old farmer remark that a manure spreader was more necessary on a farm than a piano. When It comes to a farmer's chattels. It should be under stood that the automobile doesn't come In the piano class of luxuries. As an Im plement It will be classed after the trac tion plow and In opening up 4 2 S, 600, 000 acres now Inaccessible It will rank next to the Irrigation ditch. Wherever the auto mobile has gone It has done missionary work for good roads and It will continue to do that in the hands ot the 15,000 farmers who now own cars. Talks for people I read the following lines some where and they stuck in my memory: "There are two main factors to suc cess; first, the opportunity second, the ability to follow it up." There is a great deal of truth in that, but I believe theXmain factor to success is the ability to see an op portunity when it presents Itself. : Take it right here In Omaha for instance, no section of the country is enjoying greater prosperity, no section of the country has people with more money to spend, no section of the country has people who are more will ing to spend their money for things that will add to their comfort and pleasure, when they know they are going to be treated fairly and squarely. All the people of Omaha want Is a square deal and there Is the oppor tunity. It you sell anything tnat will Increase their comfort and pleasure, If you will give them quality at a reason able price, if you want to Increase your sales, your opportunity Is right here at hand. Tell the people about your goods and prices, your store and business methods, tell them plainly, simply, convincingly, that they wlli be given fair and square treatment, and stand up to every -statement, and you will win and keep their custom. The Bee otters you a service of ad rmr worn POLITICAL DRIFT. Vermont will make a few remarks at the election for state officers next Tuesday. Enthusiastic Missouri republicans hav started a boom for "Funny Jim" Sherman, for the presidency In 1912. , Senator Iepew of New Y"ork. . equipped with" a superior brand of gum shoes, does not make enough noise to attract the at tention of the fighting factions.

The collateral put up by William It Barry, Keystone party candidate for gov ernor of Pennsylvania, to secure a loan ot J15.000 from Colonel J. M. Guttry.J demo, cratlc leader was sold under the Hammer for 1700 by a Pittsburg- bank, this week. The New Tork Times has been- sounding democratic sentiment "up the state" on the governorship question and It finds aa overwhelming demand for Gaynor. Thers Is no other possible democratic candidate, if the mayor will run and la able to meat the campaign. It has been against the law since 1817 to bet on elections In Pennsylvania. Real political sports, however, have wrapped V bills around campaign cigars and secure 're sults. For example, congressman secured renomlnatlon and a warrant then resigna tion. Up In the Winona (Minn.) congress dis trict, much uneasiness is felt lest Colonel Roosevelt drops In and disturbs tho confi dence of Congressman Tawney.
