Mr. Bryan approve! Holt Smith of I
Georgia as a fit man for the democratic
candidate for president, but he evi
dently doubts hla acceptability to the
party managers, because of his anti
corporation proclivities. The corpora
tions, we learn from sir. Bryan, have
a potent Influence with the democratic
party. Thla la a frank admission from
the man who has been the party's
leader for fourteen years, but he makes
it in a recent issue of his Commoner.
The corporations, he says, suggested
a southern man for the presidency
when he was nominated in 1900 aud
1908. Here, now, he offers them the
governor of Georgia, but he says the
will reject him, because he haa defied
the corporations and voted 'for
Bryan."
Mr. Bryan la progressing; he is get
ting away from the hidebound bigotry
of partisan blindness, and the Change
in him is refreshing. He is not only
frank enough to oppose the nominee
of his party for governor of his state,
but he Is bold enough to admit, after
all these years of evasion, that the
"interests," the corporations, preda
tory wealth, which he has so bitterly
condemned, have a controlling influ
ence in the selection of candidates of
the democratic party. We may con
clude, then, that the democratic is the
party of the trusts, the corporations
and the monopoliesj though before he
became as frank as he is today, Mr.
Bryan denounced the republican party
as such.
And who ran set himself up aa a
better Judge of what the democratic
party is, of what interests control it,
than the man who three times became
its standard bearer. Undoubtedly ; he
will not be the nominee the next time.
But is he the only man in the party
strong enough to defeat the corpora
tions? If he Is, then the party ia not
strong enough; to be entrusted with
grave responsibility.
It will bo Interesting, as Mr. Bryan
says, "to see whether it waa a south
ern man the corporations wanted, or
simply a representative of. the corpora
tions living in the south," as the nom
inee of their party, the democratic.
New Statei Not Needed Now.
Western Texas and Southern Cal
ifornia are still talking about separate
statehood, though the agitation in
California is not quite as rife just now
as In Texas. State division comes
slowly in this country and it probably
will bo aome time before it will come
In the case of either of these states,
although It may be expected in time.
Presumably, the dividing line In
Texas would drop as a continuation of
the eastern boundary of the Panhandle
to the coast. This would afford ample
space for state, but not much of a
population. , That wolild all be a fufAire
proposition. El Paso' would be the me
tropolis, unless Amarllio made a few
more such leaps aa it did in the last
ten years, and El Paso probably
would be the new capital. But the
eastern state would contain San An
tonio, Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth,
Galveston, Waco and all the other
larger centers of population. Texas
en years ago had more than 3,000,000
people, which made it rank sixth In
the sisterhood jjf States, and this cen
sus may bring It up to fourth, past
Ohio and Mtaaourl, It is ample in ter
ritory for several states and it will be
found a matter of record that when
admitted aa a state it was provided
that it should never be made Into more
than five states. But Texans, the ma
jority of them, are not likely to give
their consent fo any division soon.
They are attaining too much greatness
for that.
Nor does it seem the time has come
for dividing California, though It
could be done there with more equity
aa to population. Fresno, the center
of the greatest deciduous fruit and
grain sections of the state, is also the
geographical center and if the line of
demarcation were drawn from cast to
west there, the south, with Los Ange
les as the metropolis, would be able
to come somewhere near matching
populationa with the north, of which
San Francisco would be the chief city.
Los Angeles' growth has been the
marvel of the country, and If It should
continue at the present rate It may
pass San Francisco. But, while the
southern state would have the great oil
wells and what industries they may
produce, the north state would be the
chief industrial and mining section,
while the southern portion would have
ton preit a mnnnnnlv n fi.,,4,
ins, two very Important resources in
California.
We do not need additional states
bad enough now to press this agitation
In either Texas or California.
Weather Made to Order.
It Is quite the habit of people to
complain at the weather. No matter
how well adapted to practical uses the
weather may be somebody is certain
always to fret. When Nebraska was
in the embrace of that period or
cloudy, cool weather people com
plained; then when the aun came out
and ehone with such unusual warmth
they complained. All the time, how
ever, Nature was giving us the kind
of weather we most needed, a habit
Nature haa. Nothing is more vain and
foolish than trying to tell Nature its
bualness.
The warm aun cam out Justin time,
agricultural experts aay, to do the
moat good for Nebraska's great corn
crop. It will help vaatly In placing that
corn beyond the danger of the frost.
A continuation of cooler atmosphere
rnlnht have bwn very fostly to this
state. Nature, find, knows beat, and,
while It may be a littl uncomfortable
for those of us who have donned heav
ier (lothiDg, the little return of Bum
mer days will also be comfortable for
the corn belt's pocketbook when the
harvest Is gathered.
Price Current in ita last weekly
statement says;
"Should heavy frost be delayed and
the warm temperature prevail the out
look will continue to be very favorable
for securing a very large crop.
That is what we are Interested In.
What do we farmers care for a little
July weather in September, so long as
we csn "cash It in" for $2,000,000 or
$3,000,000.
Silly Insinuation!.
There Isn't much doubt that the mayor
could be knocked out by ehowln tin groin
frauds In the Douglas county vote If Gov
ernor Phallenberger carevt to carry the
affair Into the courts for an Investigation
of tha qualifications of the men who did
the voting. He doen t do It. apparently,
for the reason that there Isn't time to do a
good Job before election day. Aa the mat
ter stand the man who gets a majority on
the face of the returns is the nominee, and
there Isn't much for the other fellow to do
but retire gracefully and announce h'a sup
port of the ticket. Lincoln State Journal.
Dally digs of this nature are In
dulged by our esteemed contemporary,
for what purpose we are unable to
fathom, unless It be to create the Im
pression that extensive frauds hav
been and are to be practiced In the
Douglas county election.
This course is so manifestly unfair
that it will be Indulged In by no other
paper than the State Journal. The
truth of the matter is that the recount
in Douglas county was watched by
able attorneya representing Mr. 8hal
lenberger and Mr. Dahlman. and if any
apparent fraud had been noticed It
would have been seized upon Immedi
ately as a pretext for challenging the
vote. The fact that no evidence was
discovered to support the sweeping
charges of irregularities and that
fewer than 100 votes were changed by
the careful scrutiny of the recount
ought to satisfy any reasonable person
that the primary election In Douglas
county was conducted according to
law, and that the voters of Douglas
county are as honest and as intelligent
as any in the state. In no other com
munity were the voters confronted by
the perplexity due to an unusually
large and complicated ballot, such as
the bed aheet affair presented here.
The problem presented the voter in
Douglas county at the late primary
was one calculated to try both the
patience and intelligence, and If a mis
take was made It was of the head and
not of the heart.
Plenty of material may be found In
the present campaign to furnish topics
for. 'debate between the parties with
out casting nasty slurs at Douglas
county or challenging by innuendo the
integrity of the voters of this com
munity.' American Workman Supreme.
In the United States, more than any
other country, labor hasa voice in
politics. It is heard by individual as
pirants for office as well as by great
political parties as a whole and its in'
terests are rightly held to be of para'
mount importance. As a result con
ditions have been created that have
enabled the American workmen to
reach a standard of living attained by
the workmen of scarcely another na
tion in the world. Their wages are
higher, hours are shorter, conditions
of labor better and opportunities of
self-culture superior.
Samuel Gompers made a report of
conditions In Europe upon hla return
after studying the situation of the
working classes in all those countries,
which ought to be read by every voter
who goes to the polls this fall. He
shows that, while the American scile
of wages Is so disproportionately much
larger than any country In Europe as
to render a comparison Impossible, the
American's hours. of labor, bis condi
tions of employment, his opportunities
for self-improvement are' also out of
all proportion with European stand
ards, but nothing more than ought to
obtain. And he throwa light on the
much-mooted cheap cost of living ques
tion in Europe by saving:
Living Is cheap to tha wage earner of
Europe only because ha does without what
In America soon becomes a necessity to
him. If the Immigrant to this country Is
milling to continue living here at the same
level he was obliged to accept In bis na
tive land, he can find It for the same
money.
Under republican rule, the American
Is the best paid and the best kept
worker in the world, as well as being
the best worker, This policy la s
emrnently correct and successful, that,
as Mr. Gompers points out, "with the
high wages In America, there la often
a low cost or production, and, be
adda, "my facta indicate that money
wagea in America in many trades are
double those paid abroad."
Yet with all this supremacy, Ameri
can labor Is looking for opportunities
to better itself and rightly so, and,
under a continuation of the policies
that have made possible present con
ditions, that betterment Is sure to
come. That ia why wage earners ought
to oppose any change In the policies of
this government right now.
The state committee of the populist
party Is now about to make another
move In the farce of fusion. This ag
gregation Is permitted to place their
candidates on the primary ballot and
go through the routine of selecting, by
the people, and then when the candi
dates at their convenience ignore
their pledgea made under the law the
state committee solemnly slta to name
others. What end ia served beyond
that of political trickery by tbia course
cannot bi easily told.
The democratic nominee for gov
ernor in Minnesota, Jim Gray, start
out by making a cheap bid for votes.
In a speech at Sauk Center he ridiculed
the president of the United States by
stooping to that lHtle trick of referring
to Colonel Roosevelt as the real presi
dent. The democrats who are doing
this, are not doing It betause they
care anything about Colonel Roosevelt,
but because, In lieu of a party char
acter on which to base a positive cam
paign, they know of no other way In
which to get the attention of the peo
ple. The people, though, think little of
their intelligence if they fall to rebuke
such presumption.
State house officials ar now very
loud In their criticism of the statewide
primary law. Among this number la
listed Governor Shallenberger. who
signed the bill creating the" so-called
"monstrosity" with a most triumphant
flourish of his pen. But hindsight al
ways did beat foresight with some
people.
The local champions of "immediate
and compulsory" purchase of the
water works are now waxing very In
dignant because the city Is called on
to pay the penalty for adopting the
plan they Insisted upon. It Is a most
expensive game, and the end is not yet
in sight.
Omaha will gladly welcome the Ne
braska Guardsmen should It be found
expedient to bring them here during
the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities. The
Guardsmen will profit also by their
contact with the regulars under condi
tions of the maneuver camp.
Hoke Smith says his nomination for
governor in Georgia cost him $17,000.
But then as a nomination means an
election there, he is through. The
term of office ia two years and the
pay $3,000 a year. So Smith must have
his eye on bigger game.
The presence of a general of the
confederate army grasping Old Glory
with one hand while he shakes hands
with a union general with the other

Lincoln Journal: While thinking hard
thlnga about Jim Dahlman, Just remember
that Aldrlch Is aa worthy as his opponent
Is unworthy. It will be an honor and a
pleasure to vote for him.
Kremont Tribune: Home of the papers
that do not have a personal acquaintance
with Mayor Dahlman are scoring him for
the company ha keeps. What do the may
or's good friends think of that?
tii and Island Independent: In the state
convention Mr. Bryan declared that county
option was paramount to all else. He has
already backed down aa to the legislature.
What will he do aa to govetinor and whan
will he do It?
Blue 8prings Sentinel: Governor Shallen
berger officially died about aa hard as
any man who ever stepped up and took
hold of the political bat. Ha kicked on tha
score and umpire both and refused to even
be comforted by the populists.
Fremont Tribune: The 8t. Paul Repub
lican Is authority for the statement that
Mayor Dahlman has decided not to push
the capital removal proposition. On sec
ond thought Lincoln and Lancaster county
look pretty good to the Omaha candidate.
Heatrtce Express: Candidate Dahlman s
promise that he will not Interfere with the
submission of the Initiative and referendum
amendment is entirely superfluous. The
necessary Joint resolution by the legislature
to submit the amendment does not require
the governor's signature.
Falrbury News: One thing Is morally
certain and admits of no contradiction,
and that la that the open primary was
responsible for tha nomination of both Aid
rich and Dahlman, and the reault of the
coming election will determine whether
Its Influences are good or bad. s
Blair Pilot: It may seem paradoxical,
but the only way for the democrats to save
the good name of their party In Nebraska
this year Is to vote for Aldrlch for gover
nor, and thus make sure that "democracy
and decency have joined hands." as Gover
nor Shallenberger once said they had.
Howells Journal: The attempt odfjim
Dahlman to hedge on the eight o'clock clos
ing law will deceive no one. Too many
of the voters of Nebraska have heard
Dahlman. and his friends on this subject
In language mure expressive than elegant
to be fooled by any later attempt to square
their position with the democratic state
platform.
York Republican: A canvass among York
democrats finds most of them opposed to
the election of Mr. Dahlman. They don't
consider him the nominee of any party, his
success being the result of tha action uf the
Third ward In Omaha. Those democrats
will be heard from In no uncertain way be
fore long. It is a case of Nebraska against
the Third ward of Omaha.
York Times: GoveVnor Shallenberger says
he will not accept the populist nomination
unless he has the democratic nomination,
which he has not. Like the rest of the
democrats who run the populUt party, the
governor l a populist only to catch the
vote. Perhaps it was the coalition between
the democratic and populist parties that he
referred to when he declared "democracy
and decency had joined hands."
Plattamouth Journal: When the recount
of Douglas county Is finished and it la of
ficially declared who Is tha democratic
nominee for governor, everything In the
democratic ranks will be smoothly con
ducted to the end of the campaign. Too
much stress has already been pu upon the
recount muddle and the local candidates
are the ones to. suffer from It. To hades
with primary elections In the future. The
law should be repealed this winter.
Lexington Pioneer: The present primary
election law, passed by a democratlo legis
lature and endorsed by Governor Shallen
berger, ia condemned by the latter aa "vic
ious In practice." Of course. It ia "vicious,
since It resulted In Shallenberger's defeat
as a candidate for governor. If he had
been nominated it would have been one of
the best primary laws ever enacted, tfome
men die hard and "Shall appears to be
one of thai class.
Falls City Journal: The county optlonlsts
and prohibitionists who voted for Dahlman
at the primaries to reduce the Isoue be
tween the candidates at the general elec
tlon to the simplest terms, will not be long
In placing the "X" opposite tha name of
the other fellow when they get Into the
election booth next time. The law foolishly
gave them the right to help nominate
Dahlman, but It exacted uf them no prom
ise to support him later.
Cgster County Republican: In his speech
at the atate fair last Wednesday, Mayor
I ,,,, pubiicly declared that no one
should vote for him for governor If they
do not believe with him on the liquor ques
tion. He reiterated his determination that
If elected governor and It a county op
tion law ia passed by tha legislature he
would veto It. He claims his right to veto
the will of the majority, because he Is
making that Issue his platform.
Lynch Journal: We heard a good demo
crat blaming the republicans for the nomi
nation of Jim Dahlman the other even
ing. Nothing Is further from the facts. We
believe that a few thousand republicans did
vote for him at the last primary, but a
far greater number of democrats stayed at
home and let the nomination take care of
Itself, and it did. If even a few hundred
Shallenberger democrats had went to the
primary', conditions would have been differ
ent. Again It waa a democratic legislature
and a democratic governor that amended
the primary law In auch a way as to let
a republican slip Into the democratic fold
and Impose a Dahlman on that party.
