Growth in th Middle West.
Encouraging at has been the growth
In population in the, middle west dur
ing the last ten years, it should be
much greater in the decade to come.
This should be especially true of the
Missouri valley country. Peculiar ob
stacles have had to be overcome in
this section, which are not likely to
present themselves again and their
elimination can have but the one ef
fect of building up population and in
dustry alike.
Adverse freight and inadequate
means of transportation have had a
great deal to do with the retarded de
velopment in some sections and now
that both rates and facilities are more
favorable our increase in commerce
and industry should be surer and
swifter, and, of course, this means
growth in population. This view of
the situation in the past is not neces
sarily an indictment of the transpor
tation companies. It is simply admit
ting that a system has prevailed that
was wrong and under which the best
growth and development were Impos
sible. The people were to blame .as
much as their public servants, the cor
porations, for they were too long con
tent to abide the system. But in the
last ten years much progress toward
a better system has been made and
we have come to a place now where
we should begin to count big results.
In the next decade, therefore, our rate
of Increase along all lines should be
incomparably above that of the period
closed.
But this Is not the only factor
that should contribute to a more rapid
and substantial progress. New mar
kets have been and will be created
and for this the railroads must be
given much credit. -They are building
new lines off to the west and im
proving old 'ones, thus affording
quicker communication . between the
farm and the market. But back of the
railroad is the federal government. It
has opened up new territory to set
tlement, paving the way fof the rail
roads' new lines, opening a hitherto
uninhabited domain, supplying It with
water for irrigation and live stock and
encouraging industry and energy with
the prospect of bountiful crops. This,
then, is the real power that is working
out the destiny of this section, coupled
with the quickened Impulse of the
people in the cities and towns who
see the opportunity of their Uvea to
join forces with these neighbors in
the country in the upbuilding of this
great kingdom of natural wealth.
"A Loit Opportunity."
Under this caption the Boston Her
ald, a democratic newspaper, has a
long editorial on the democratic situ
ation. In New York, where the'party
has prostituted itself abjectly to Boss
Murphy and his Tammany cohorts.
Other democratic) papers take similar
views, the New York Times arraigning
the 'democrats In the most caustic
terms for their shameful surrender to
the corrupt powers of the state. The
Brooklyn Eagle, one of the main
spokes in the old democratio wheel,
not content with venting its disgust
at what Murphy did at Rochester,
comes out boldly with praise for the
republican nominee and platform, say
ing: He (Mr. Roosevelt) took the lead, where
leadership was wanting and was aeeklng-
for him. The result is th Saratoga ticket,
which Is strong, and th Saratoga platform,
whlou certainly 1 not weak.
On the eve of the election the situa
tion in New York must Indeed be en
couraging to democrats in that and
other states, who were counting on
the Empire state democrats to furnish
the Inspiration for the party at large
this fall. They furnished inspira
tion, but for Boss Murphy only.
It Is a doleful tale for the rest.
The Eagle presents the situation In a
nutshell by Inference: "The result at
Saratoga 1b a strong ticket and a
strong platform;" the result at Roch
ester Is a weak ticket and a weak
platform, the whole Rochester pro
ceeding being the best expression of
boss rule this country has had for
many years.
Yet, the New York World alone of
all the big eastern democratio dallies
praises Boss Murphy's ticket and pre
dicts victory. It knows better, or
ought to know better. It knows what
every other sane paper or man knows,
that defeat is the just due of . the dem
ocrats who have sold themselves, body
and soul, to Tammany for exploitation
at the- market place of the powers that
corrupt New York politics.
Where Will They Retrench t
Democrats are making much of the
charge of extravagance against repub
licans as a campaign argument, lgnor-
ing facta of record. They are circulat
ing in all their literature and declar
ing from the stump that the net ex
pense of running the government
under the Taft administration is $1,
000,000,000 and that if the democrats
should be entrusted with power they
would reduce the expense of govern
ment by $300,000,000.
This is a fair sample of democratic
perspicuity. It aluo involves; their
sense of honor. In the first place, as
President Taft has himself shown
from the records, the net expense of
running this government is $600,000,
000 and not $1,000,000,000. There
fore, If our democratic friends were to
conduct the government $300,000,000
less than $1,000,000,000, they still
would be squandering $50,000,000
over and above what Is, required by
the republican party for guiding the
ship of state one year. The statement
as to lopping off the $300,000,000. of
course, ' is made without any more
thought of investigation than pre
ceded the false statement that the
government was spending $1,000,000,
000 a year. Both are pure fabrications,
concocted for campaign purposes only,
in the belief that they will serve to
fool the people no matter how far
from the truth they may be.
But President Taft makes the inter
esting inquiry. Where would the dem
ocrats lop off $300,000,000? Manifestly
the elimination of sftch an enormous
sum would have to mean the doing
away with one of the great functions
of government and the question natur
ally arises, which one would It be?
Would It be the pension list? Would
it be the army and navy Would it
mean abandoning the Sandwich Isl
ands, Porto Rico or the Philippines?
Such statements ought to call tor
some details of explanation. If the
democrats know where $300,000,000
can be saved to the government they
owe It to the people to let them in on
the secret.
The fact of the matter is that with
all the tremendous increases in de
mands upon the national treasury the
republicans have conserved the re
sources and kept down expenses to an
amazing degree and If anyone Is dis
posed to take seriously this demo
cratic buncombe, let him turn back
the pages of hia political history to
the end of the last democratic admin
istration and compare the condition of
the country and its finances then with
those of the present.
As to Corporation Candidates.
As was to have been expected, The
Bee's characterization of the demo
cratic ticket as the corporation ticket,
and particularly of the nominee for
lieutenant governor, who, If elected,
might become governor, and the nomi
nee for railway commissioner, in both
of whom the corporations would have
an especial interest, has gotten a
quick rise out of the democratic
World-Herald, whose editor and chief
proprietor is the corporation candidate
for United States senator.
The World-Herald professes to be
exceptionally Incensed that we should
refer to Ralph A. Clark, whom the
democrats have put up for lieutenant
governor, as. "the bellwether of the
corporation lobby In the late legisla
ture." Mr. Clark may have all the
admirable personal traits his friends
claim for him, but that does not con
trovert our assertion as to Mr. Clark's
intimate assoclaton with the corpora
tion hirelings In the lobby. On this
point we have plenty of distinguished
democratic testimony. The lobby had
It all fixed to make Mr. Clark speakef,
and would have succeeded had not
Edgar Howard rushed to Lincoln and
notified the democratic members that
they would not dare face their con
stituents when they went home if they
thus turned over the house organiza
tion to the corporations. '
.. The . World-Herald ' Is .only slightly
less Incensed' over ' our reference to
that "generous and modest man," Ben
Hayden, bb having served as the
"trusted lieutenant of the notorious
Tobe Castor of legislative oil room
fame" and as being entitled 'to be
trusted again by the railroads If he
should make the commissionershlp.
On this point we also have good testi
mony from sources which the World
Herald should not impugn. We quote
an item written by that eminent re
former, T. H. Tlbblos, once of the
W.-H. editorial staff, and printed In
the Nebraska Independent when It
was the official populist organ:
One Ben Hayden I aspiring to the posi
tion of clerk of th supreme court. Is this
the same Benjamin that Tobe Castor
manipulates? If so, he ha about as much
chance to be appointed as Marcus Hanna.
Tobe I to Nebraaka politics what Marcus
Is to national politics, rotten to the core.
Just now this Benjamin la in the employ of
a trust, and neither Judg Sullivan nor
Judge Hoi comb I dealing Iff that kind of
cattle.
It would indeed be a fine thing if,
under cover of all this dust raised
over county option, the most impor
tant offices in the state house could be
captured on a sneak for subservient
corporation tools.
The action of the people of Los An
geles is a fairly good Illustration that
foul play is not condoned by anybody
in this country- Regardless of their
former attitude toward General Otis

bor unions they were combating, the
people of that and other California
cities are . one and all Intensely
aroused over the dastardly crime per
petrated and determined to have the
murderers brought to. justice.
An admirer of Mayor "Jim" tries to
make the point that Omaha before he

respect for law as well as in business
and in building construction since, as
well as before, "Jim" occupied the
mayor's chair, but it has not been
"Jim's" fault.
It la a coincidence that Detective
W. J. Burns, who aided F. J. Heney,
so bitterly condemned by the Los An
egles Times id his work against the
grafters in San Francisco, should lead
the search for the murderers who blew
up the Times' plant and killed twenty
one of Its employes.
The race for presidential nomina
tion between Gubernatorial Candidate
Wood row Wilson and Gubernatorial
Candidate Judson Harmon becomes

tract a great deal of attention from
contemporary democratic organs. The

The Kansas City Star is urging In

clean bill to control of the next house

General Funston's experience In a hotel
In Kansas City, in which h would not re

a captain of th United States army, had a
precedent In this city at a' hotel which was
for a long rime a popular resort for army
officers. The head bellboy ther also wor
a uniform much like that of th regular
army and captain' shoulder straps. One
evening a guest called the "captain" aside,
took a penknife from his pocket and with
a few quick strokes stripped off on of
th shoulder straps. He handed It to th
astonished servant and said: "Give this
to the proprietor with my compliments and
tell him to take off the other strap, and
that if he continues to dress his boys In
United States uniform I shall see that the
law against that practice is enforced." The
man was a graduate of West Point and
had grown old in the service. The offense

Sol Jerkowskl, a promoter, who I a
frequent guest at a New York hotel, called
the clerk over th phone.
"I want you to send up fifty cases of

right away," said Jerkowskl.
"All right." said the clerk, and before
he had recovered from the shock th
phone rang again, and Jerkowskl added:
"Send up a couple of taxlcabs and $600."
"What do you want $600 forT" asked the
clerk.
"To end to my wife. She plays the
goose In Morris' barnyard production.
They are In Cincinnati, and I think she
needs the money."
"All right, everything will be right up.
Leave the door open so they can be car

The door was open' when a policeman
and an ambulance surgeon arrived to
take Jerkowskl to the psychopathic ward

utterance of one magic word waa told by
Martin Malcolm, second engineer of the
ship, which arrived In New York from a
far east port.
Malcolm bought th bird a year ago and
named him Tlddledewlnks. He hung the
bird on a perch In on of th upper com
partment of th after hold. He was sur
prised a week after the ship had left
Singapore by being greeted one morning
as he entered the hold with a shout of
"Hello!"
He inquired among the crew whether
any one had been teaching Tlddledewlnks
th English language, but all the men
denied any acquaintance with th bird.
So Malcolm told hi theory to th chief
engineer.
"Marvelous!" th chief engineer ex
claimed. "But I'll bet you've gtieased
wrong."
"Come and see," Malcolm replied.
He led the chief engineer to th hold,
where they were greeted with loud hello
by Tlddledewlnks. Malcolm's reply was
a brisk call of:
"Come out of there, you stowaway. We
know where you are."
And the stowaway cam forth. He

And break every rule that s issued, and
never get hurt at all;
But each with his special method, and each
with his separate feint.
Shall kick toe ball as he s It, for th
Uau of Rule aa they ain't.
