Reciprocity wi.a Canada.
The entire country seems to be
gratified at the action of President Taft I
in hastening negotiation for a lcl
proclty treaty with Canada it really is
the first actual step In the direction of
better trade relations betwem this
country and the Dominion that could
be takei, for Canada nss r-?;elled
previous advances made. by the I nited
St.it s. Now our nortnern neighbors
are ready for business.
This action oy the president ought
to have the effect of allaying some of
the anxiety apparent in New England
state before their fall elections, and
yet this is the last consideration to
give to it. Its value and popularity
does not rest upon its relations to any
party's political fate. It is a measure
of far-reaching Importance to the
business Interests of the nation, one
which has long been demanded, but
never brought within our reach until
President Taft threw the wels.pt' of
his personal zeal into the balance.
The prfbldent, In order fo facilitate
action, has obtained consent of Am
bassador Bryce to waive tbe formality
of negotiating through the British
embassy, making It possible for our
diplomats to deal directly with. Sir
Wilfred Laurler. This Insures much
speedier results.
When it comes to the matter of
delay in bringing about such a treaty,
entire blame should not rest upon the
United States. Much of it, especially
of late, belongs to Canada. In fact,
most of It in the last two years. Can
ada -has been rather independent in
suggesting terms of agreement. Even
now, while the Dominion government
favors reciprocity, a strong sentiment
among business interest, manufactur
ers particularly, exists against it. It
should be understood, therefore, that
the popular demand for It this side
of the line is not sufficient in itself to
bring about immediate results. Pres
ident Taft will be satisfied if as much
as an opening wedge may be driven
at the comlssS short session of con
gress, but he la not optimistic enough
to suppose that any definite terms of
agreement can be arrived at or even
proposed then. It is his belief, how
ever, that when the time does come
for final action the treaty may be
consummated by ratification of the
senate alone, the house's action being
unnecessary. Others contend that as
a 'revenue producing measure the
treaty will have to go to tbe houi-e.
This the president takes no stock In.
Bailey's Oily Warning.
Senator Bailey of Texas, one of the
democratic presidential candidates,
drawing his robes of righteousness
about him, in commenting on the elec
tion returns from Maine, says:
' "I expect to see the men responsible for
the future of our party behave then
selves with 'a. wisdom and a patriotism
worthy of the best days of democracy."
'' Oood! Now, let these naughty men
quit their meanness and come into the
fold. Who better than Senator Bailey
knows the need of such reform? Who
better than he realizes the disadvan
tage of haviag to explain private
transactions of a public man to the
people at large? Indeed, let all demo
cratic leaders behave themselves. 1
There is something oily about; the
words of Senator Bailey. They seem
to suggest Waters-Pierce and 1908.
But welcome, always, Is the man who
repents. Senator Bailey is right in
lEe chief Import of his warning. No
party, loaded down with leaders for
whom it must apologize, can expect to
win. It should never be necessary for
the "men responsible for the future
of the party" to have to advise a
United States senator either to remain
away from the party's national con
vention, or attending, to take no active
part. That is embarrassing. People
on the outside 4nay not understand
that it means nothing. Nor is it ever
wise or helpful for a party to have to
ask its national treasurer to resign in
the middle of a campaign to rid it Ipf
the Incubus of his bad name and rec
ord. It would have been more significant
had this warning come from Okla
homa, but even from Texas it should
carry some Influence.
Playing Politic! Already.
The New York Tribune in an edi
torial aays:
The Hon. J a roe Smith. Jr.. formerly
I'nlleil States senator from New Jersey
and for many years chief democratic
overlord of that state, has played his
strongest trump card In this year s politi
cal game In the nomination of the preal-
dent of Princeton t'nlversltv for the gov-
ernorsnip. ami upon me race or It It la a
shrewd performance. Dr. Wilson Is a
man of ftne scholarship, of high Ideals
and of unimpeachable character, 'who
while presumably Inheriting the political
prlnclplfK of hia native south, has not
been aggressively HHaotialed with intense
partisanship. The auppoxiUon of ' Mr.
Hinith and hie fellow directors of the
democratic party Is, therefore, that lie
will aitratH the Independent vote, which
is an important racior in rtew Jersey pol
itics, a portion of the new Idea rrpub
lUan vole and the votes of those who,
for any reason, are discontents- or dissat
isfied wllh'recent republican legislation or
administration, and thus win the eltxtlon;
Incidentally carrying In with him a suffi
cient number of democratic members of
the legislature to return Mr. Smith to the
senate.
When Dr. Wilson accepted the
gubernatorial nomination he publicly
declared himself against the "playing
of politics" in public affairs. With Im
plicit faith In bis sincerity, The Bee
suggested that desplt the doctor's
aversion for this thing, In all probabil
ity If he were elected governor of New
Jersey it would be because his cam
paign managers, had outplayed the
other fellows at the game, of politica.
Now, It appears, we are more than con
firmed in that theory, for even his
nomiuatlon seems to-have been iht re-
full of a subtle scheme on the part of
the old Smith-Nugent-Davis demo
cratic ring to regain control of th af
fairs In that state. In other words. Dr.
Wilson has been aud is being used as
a ratspaw to rake political chestnuts
out of the fire for other men, a gang of
past-master politicians.
One Is bound to Inquire, how does
the president of old Princeton like It?
Also, will he continue,' now that he
must know what Is going on, to stand
for It? Does he want the office bad
enough to become the Instrument for
foisting upon the state a political
clique of the old spoils system? If
so, then where Is the advantage of the
scholar In politics?
In some way. or other. Dr. Wilson
should rebuke his campaign managers.
His friends are likely to expect this of
him. They believe in him aud his
words. He has not been alow to de
nounce trickery in politics, and now he
should not hesitate tou.se his influence
to put it out of politics, even at the
cost of personal sacrifice.
Whose Pullt
What interests are so powerful that
they can go to the city council and
quietly stop an improvement that is
Intended to benefit the city as a whole?
The proposed postal sub-station at the
Union depot is not a private enter
prise. It is Intended solely to improve
the postal service in Omaha. Its erec
tion will facilitate the handling of
mails, both incoming and outgoing,
and will save from one to two hours
in the delivery of mail in the Jobbing
district. The matter bss long been
under consideration between the Post-
office department and the Union Pa
cific railway. An arrangement was
Anally reached whereby the building
was to have been constructed. The
city granted a special permit but a few
days ago. Now the council passes
without debate a resolution to rescind
that permit and to Instruct the city
attorney to take all legal steps possible
to prevent the erection of this build
ing. This is done without debate or
without public clamor. .The most
natural question that arises in this
connection Is, Who has such control
over the city council to achieve such
a result?
It the Rocker Doomed ?
Some furniture dealers tell us the
rocking chair is doomed, that it must
give way to fashion. They insist upon!
the straight "period" . style in nousej
furnishing and advise us that it woulv
never do to have the harmony of a
well ordered home broken by the ap
pearance of a rocker.
Indeed! But it is our opinion that,
much as they bow to fashion, Ameri
can people in this Instance will stand
upon their, rights and hold to an old
comfort. What do they care whether
ancient or medieval kings and queens
sat upon: the floor, in straight-back
chais. or reclined on divans and
sofas? They also wore sandals or
went barefooted, and burned oil or
tallow dip. No, we have made all
the concession necessary to ye olden
times, as In our styles of architecture,
dress and other articles of bouse fur
nishing. Instead of giving up the
rocker because Julius Caesar or
Queen Elizabeth did not have one, we
should feel sorry for them and re
joice all tbe more In tbe blessings and
comforts of the twentieth century.
It is not a matter of concern to the
average American whether the rock
ing chair conforms to art or not; It is
mighty restful to a tired back and a
weary brain, and so long as it Is it is
liKt ly to have a happy home wherever
it may be, and that la In about every
home In this land.
Failure of Fusion.
The sacred cause of fusion in Ne
braska received another large uplift
at Lincoln Tuesday. The council of
the populist party allowed its ticket to
go headless through the campaign,
thus endorsing in effect the claim
made by the editor of The Bee who
Insisted that the filing of Governor
Shallenberger as a candidate for gov
ernor on the populiat ticket was a
fraud on the voters. Mr. Shallenber
ger received the populist nomination,
but despite his pledge to abide by tbe
result of the primary has refused to
run. A few more such Illustrations
aa this may bring tbe voters of Ne
braska to their senses. At present the
Jugglery of party names with intent to
deceive, even though it may have the
technical support of law, is becoming
notorious and tenda to discourage the
honest voter who seeks to express his
convlcton through the medium of an
established and recognized political
part) .
If the populists in. Nebraska are to
maintain the integrity of their organ
ization, they should do so without hug
germuggering perpetually with the
democrats, whose only interest In the
popultst party Is to secure Its endorse
ment for democratic candidates, who
decline to accept tbe same when not
convenient. If the populists are- to
maintain a third party, they should do
so in such a way as will give their
voters an opportunity to vote for
party candidates.
The present campaign in Nebraska
will be notable for epistolary inter
change between candidates and others.
If for no other reason. It already has
exceeded the long distance letter writ
lug record, and haa scarcely gotten
under headway.
The railroads make a counter propo-j

This will commend San Francisco to

If the question of annexation to

It is a 'matter that concerns all the
people of both Omaha and 8outh
Omaha and should not be entangled
with the fortunes of any political
party.

"Mart'r4m" aa an Asset.
Springfield Republican.
The Governor Goebel assassination, over a
dozen years ago, still agitates Kentucky
politics and, so 'long as Caleb Powers can
stir the mountaineers of the eastern coun
ties by the story of his alleged "martyr
dom," political murder may be a political
asset even fr a man convicted of murder
himxelf. Caleb Powers was pardoned by
Governor Wilson, a republican, after eight
years In prison, on the ground that there
was Insufficient evidence to convict him
and that a fair trial hud become an impos
sibility in Kentucky. Powers will now go
to co'ngress. In. all probability. There is
no doubt that Governor Goebel is dead.
Nothing will restore him to life.
Official Activity In Polities.
Boston Herald.
According to a recent ruling by the presi
dent, federal employes in Washington liv
ing In the smaller suburbs may take' part
In the political affairs of their home towns
and even hold office without inclining the
rebuke of the Civil Service commission.
This is common sense and worthy of appli
cation In the interpretation ot the general
rule against political activity on the part
of the officeholder. A man forfeits neither
his rights nor his responsibilities of citizen
ship when taking a federal office and ha
thould not lose his Interest In the political
affaiis of the community. The activity of
the official In politics Is not pernicious. The
rule should operate only against the use
of the offlee and the influence which at
taches to It for political ends.

Nebraska Comment
What the Editors ef tbe SJtate
Frees Are Savin ea Tarlows
Topics of reeetng- Local laterest
Falrbury Nf: When Teddy said the
Nebraska pi-tmary law was "rotten." a
fervent amen nent tip from the mourner's
bench In Nebraska.
Uushvllle Hecorder: Bryan Is keeping
silent on the Nebraska political situation.
He hates like thunder to use the big stick
iiaa n.t his own party.
Fremont Tribune: Congressman Hitch
cock Is reported lo be getting anxious. In
view of Senator Burkett'a whirlwind cam
paign, ng this week, there's a reason.
York Newa: Mr. Bryan Is said to be
silent concerning the political situation In
Nebraska. He Is about the only man In
the state of whom the assertion ran be
made.
Fremont Tribune: The Nebraska coun
ties that so above tbe 25,000 class with the
census are Inclined to talk about It. Let
them make the moat of It; they are going
to have to pay . for It. ,
Hliilreth Telescope: The World-Herald s
stabs at Senator Burkett might have more
force and effect If the editor and pub
lisher of that sheet. G. M. Hitchcock, was
not Burkett'a opponent for a seat In the
I" tilted Slates senate.
Auburn Republican: At last William J.
Bryan has something to which he may
point with pride.. He stumped the state
of Arkansas in the interest of the Initiative
and referendum, and the Initiative and
referendum carried in the general election
In that state.
Wayne Herald: Omaha points with pride
to the fact that It received an Important
award for the best collective exhibit at
the state fair. And In this' connection The
Bee wants it understood that Omaha and
Douglas county raise something besides
"merry hades'."
Beatrice Sun: Some republican regulars
have scoffed at the Insurgents by saying
that they are little better than democrats.
The result In Maine Indicates that a harder
name will have to be applied to them, for
the name of "democrat" has lost some of
its terrible significance even to the hide
bound republicans of New England.
Albion News: To witness the scare In
Omaha over the county option question,
you would suppose there was danger that
Douglas county would go "dry" If the
question was submitted there. It would
make no difference whatever there, nor
would It in other places where the opposi
tion to the plan la most pronounced. The
only business it would affect would be the
breweries.
O'Neill Frontier: Prior to the primary
election Congressman Hitchcock appealed
for votes on the grounds that he had sup
ported measures advocated and supported
by such good Insurgents as Congressman
Nori Is of Nebraska. Now Hitchcock,
through the columns of his World-HeraJd.
Is denouncing Norrts and boosting Suther
land, the democratic nominee and former
member of congress from that district.
Kalrbury Uaxette: Those editors who have
been trying during the last week or so to
muke their readers believe that Colonel
Roosevelt did not give Senator Burkett an
endorsement of his record In congress In
his speech at Kearney have now a g6od
chance to take back what they aald after
reading the ex-president's speech at Omaha
In which he spoke most highly on the
senator's progressive record In congreaa
and the great assistance he rendered him
in carrying out his policies.
Bayard Transcript: Klmer J. Burkett
Is billed for tbis section of Nebraska Sep
tember tl and some of the. wise ones think
that it is likely that the right lion. Uncle
Moses P. Klnkaid will be of the company.
Wouldn't this be an opportune time for
our commercial club and the farming com
munity to call the attention of these Il
lustrious lawmakers to past promises and
the crying needs of the settlers under the
great Pathfinder Irrigation project. A lit
tle effort on the part of some one In a
position to ba heard could make a bunch
uf wealth producers that would go a long
way toward solving the problem of high
living.
Ord Wuix: The best legislature Nebraska
ever had was the one of four years ago.
The legislature did more excellent work
than any other body of Its kind in the
state, and the work was Invariably In the
Interest of the people. One of the leaders
of the senate was M. Ia Fries, whom the
republicans have nominated for the place,
knowing that he would make tbe beat
sort of a legislator and one whom we could
trust with the responsibility of making
our laws. You will do your duty if you
vote for him and work for his election.
let us have no more of the kind of legis
lature we had two years ago when the
democrats had everything.
Fremont Tribune: The farmers and
ranchmen of Nebraska appear inclined to
kill the goose that lays the golden egg
or, rather, to slaughter the cow that suck'
les the golden calf. The present high
price of cattle Is causing a tremendous
rush tu market. Very much of the Imma
ture atuff Is going out of the state so that
the, future of the cattle business Is likely
to suffer for the Immediate gain there is.
The corn crop will be a large one, with
sufficient yield to support the cattle that
are being prematurely disposed of. It may
be that a little later, when all danger of
frost damage Is past, the movement uf
young stwck from the ranches and fanne
will be checked.
Papllllon Republican: Many democrats
are crying out that the republicans are
stealing their thunder, and that the "pro
gressive" of the G. O. P. Insurgents of today
is only the democratic doctrine of a doten
or more years ago. This Is true enough.
The democrats are often right but they
haven't the faculty of being llnht at the
right time. They and the populists and the!
socialists have taken the brunt of ad- j
vanclng new and untried political proposi- i
lions and the republicans, who are oppor-
tunlsts and not Idealists, have simply
swiped such of those propositions as seem
to command popular approval. It Is the '
Irony of fate that the dominant party j
should thus fatten eff Its rivals. J
O'Neill Independent: The open primary j
has proved a vicious law in practice, al-
though It Is right and good In theory. If ;
the open primary law would not be abused I
it would be a long step toward progressive i
legislation. In this primary It has allowed j
the republicans lo nominate a democratic j
candidate for suvernor and at the same !
lime has given them the candidate they I
did not want. The law waa pasaed, be- I
lleving that the voters would use It on
honor and nut abuse Ita provisions enacted
for the benefit of all, but In practice It
proves that those who care little for the
party might go Into the primary and carry
out their prejudices by voting to nominate
a candidate who stood for that prejudice,
and If that party had a contest between
two men for that office It would only take
a few voles to turn the scales and nomi
nate that man. The law Is lcloua in prac
tice and should be repealed.
