If the little boya In Philadelphia are

Arizona constitutionals demand the

John Plerpont Morgan has given

The Baltimore American thinks
Maryland will be all right if it will

Writing to the New York Tribune,
a New York man declares that Theo
dore Roosevelt baa neither eye on the
presidency. Does Colonel Roosevelt
have hla eyes so well trained that he
can look in more than one direction
at a time?
A Pasadena church has called a
new pastor at a salary of $7,600 a
year and given his wife a $10,000 In
surance policy on his life. That loo Kg
like providing for the pastor and is ln
sharp contrast with what some
churches ln larger cities are doing.
Booker Washington told some Eu
ropean la a speech that "freedom

quest." But when Colonel Roosevelt
told tho Egyptians practically that
time thing, look what happened. It
la a singular fact that papers at home
and abroad that condemned the former
president are now praising, tho speech
4f the eminent negro.
The Statute of Limitations.
The statute of limitations is some
thing like an immunity bath. It is the
sewn behind which the dlshonet
debtor hides in order to avoid being
compelled to pay up. The statute of
limitations makes it impossible for a
creditor to enforce collection by legal
r.ocesB after the expiration of a speci
fied period. But there is no statute of
limitations covering moral obligations.
A debt of honor followa the debtor to
the grave and many a debt of honor
has been scrupulously paid by those
of the second and third generations,
although not legally burdened by their
ancestor's debts. Honorable men have
been known to slave for years and to
submit to air kinds of personal de
privation to pay off a debt of honor
long after the statute of limitations
had run.
Yet we have in this campaign here
in Nebraska the amaxlng spectacle of
a candidate for United States senator
on the democratic ticket publicly ad
mitting . having incurred a debt of
honor by borrowing stolen public
money from an embezzling republican
state treasurer, and later refusing to
discharge the debt and taking refuge
behind the statute of limitations which
had run out while his benefactor was
in the penitentiary. Congressman
Hitchcock admits that when Hartley
came to his rescue he and his news
paper were on the verge of bank
ruptcy and were saved from financial
ruin by the state's money thus ad
vanced, but that he nonetheless let
Hartley go to prison with the debt un
paid, and the debt unpaid to thla day.
There is still another side to this
monstrous caso. Bartley says ' the
money loaned to Hitchcock was state
money and that Hitchcock knew or
ought to have known all the time that
it was state money. Whether or not
Hitchcock knew this In the first place
he could not help knowing that it was
state funds that he had -when the de
falcation waa uncovered. If Hitchcock
did not want to pay this money back
to Bartley, there was nothing to pre
vent him from paying It back Into the
state treasury, and there is nothing
now to prevent him from putting it
back where It belongs.
Against the state no one can plead
the statute of limitations as a legal
defense, much less as a moral exoner
ation, because the . statute of limita
tions does not run against the state.
The state can collect debts owed to it
at any time the debtor can be forced
to pay. Suppose Bartley had handed
over to Hitchcock United States bonds
for $3,000 belonging to the state
school fund and Hitchcock had con-
Icealed his possession of them all theee
years. Hitchcock might , plead the
statute of limitations against Bartley,
but he could not set It up against the
state demanding ' the return ' of the
stolen bonds. What difference 1b there
between Hitchcock's borrowing from
Bartley $3,000 of stolen state money
and the supposed case of him getting
bold of bonds belonging to the state
school fund through the Bime agency?
Expeditious British. Justice.
Accepting the verdict of the Jury In
the case of Dr. .Hawley H. Crlppen as
conclusive, Britain's reputation for
speedy Justice is again well sustained.
Without red tape or unnecessary delay
or prodigious technique in the details
of the trial the business of determin
ing the guilt or Innocence of the ac
cused was proceeded with and in a
very brief space of time the Jury re
turns with a verdict that the American
doctor-dentist did murder his wife,
whereupon the court Immediately pro
nounces the death penalty'. .
Undoubtedly the outcome accords
with popular opinion on both aides of
the Atlantic. The strongest argument
against Crlppen was set up by himself
and his paramour, the young creature
he inveigled into the plot, when 'they
fled England and landed in Canada.
If innocent, why undertake this flight?
Great Britain 1b known as a land
where every man accused of crime re
ceives Justice.
The conduct of the trial and Its re
sult must gratify those who love Jus
tice and believe In eliminating every
trivial obstacle In order to reach it.
It Is a lesson for American Jurispru
dence. Criminals whose guilt has
been far more apparent tban that of
Crlppen have escaped in this country
because of loopholes which (he laws
afford. There can be no gainsaying
that the prompt justice meted out in
such cases as this goes a long way to
ward discouraging others 'from com
mitting similar crimes. It Is a vindi
cation of the traditional claim English
law has made for itself and contrasts
strikingly with our own Nan Patter
son and Thaw rases.
Those Halls of Fame. '
Edgar Allen Poe and other notable
long dead have been enrolled at last in
the Hall of Fame, thanks to the dis
criminating votes of a handful of crit
ics. Patrick Henry and a few ethers
are still denied admission to this sanc
tuary of the great, this gallery of il
lustrious Americans.
There is more humor In this hall of
fame disposition than those serious
onea who determine its occupancy
would like to admit. Aa if It made
any difference in the minds of the
people of the world who are voted
famous enough to be added to this
galaxy of greatneaa! Most people have
long ago agreed that of American
authors Poe was entitled , to thin dis
tinction; therefore they will be grati
fied to know that It baa been ac
corded to him.
Tho selection is purely arbitrary. A
nam that would stria bobu men as
lllnstriotis enough for any distinction
might not so impress others and tiat
is why this hall of fame Idea strikes
many people aa a simple Joke. Out
side their "cloistered walls" or "gilded
corridors" there is the hall of public
opinion and after all it must in all
posterity determine the relative great
ness of those gone before.
The Interest of Labor.
The Bee has said that It is support
ing Chester II. Aldrlch, the republican
nominee for governor, not because he
is in favor of county option, but in
spite of it, because It believes that the
question of liquor regulation is a
purely local question and that Aldrlch
aa governor would more truly rep
resent all the varied activities of Ne
braska and give the state a more effi
cient administration than his demo
cratic opponent, who is merely the
special champion of the liquor people.
Similar considerations should ap
peal strongly to the wage worker who
earns hjs livelihood by the sweat of
his brow. Labor Is much more con
cerned in having a man in the gov
ernor's chair for the next two years
who ia fair and square and owned by
no corporation or corporate combine,
than In having a governor there tied
tightly with corporation strings, with
his hands free only far enough to veto
a county option bill which Is not likely
ever to come to him.
t If men are Judged by what they do,
rather than by what they say, the rec
ord made by Mr. Aldrlch In the state
senate is sufficient guaranty that he is
fair and unprejudiced as between em
ployer and employe, whether organ
ized labor or unorganized labor. The
legislature in which. Mr. Aldrlch par
ticipated enacted, with his help and
vote, measures demanded in vain by
wage-workers year In and year out,
and often promised by the democratic
law-makers, but never delivered by
tbem when they had the opportunity
to redeem their promises.
That legislature, with Mr. AJdrich's
help and vote, removed the $5,000
limit to recovery for death loss under
which widows and orphans of slaugh
tered mechanics and artisans had long
suffered.
That legislature, with Mr. Aldrlch'a
help and vote, changed the follow
servant law so that maimed workmen
could secure compensation for in
juries even' when Inflicted by the con
tributory negligence of a ' fellow em
ploye.
1 That legislature, with Mr. Aldrlch'a
help and vote, enacted a law forbid
ding common carriers in Nebraska
from employing boys and girls under
age as night telegrnph operators or
train dispatchers, putting in needless
Jeopardy the lives of trainmen and
passengers.
That legislature, with Mr. Aldrlch'a
help and vote, passed a law exempting
from attachment, execution and gar
nishee process the wages of heads of
families to the extent of 90 per cent
of the amount due.
That legislature with Mr. Aldrich's
help and vote, enacted a child labor
law prohibiting employment of boys
and girls under 16 In any trade or oc
cupatlon that would deprive them of
the schooling and education to which
they are entitled.
All or these laws were enacted In
the Interest of labor and in response
to a popular demand that had prev
iously been Ignored or defied. Would
It not be good for labor to have a man
line Mr. Aiaricn , in the governor's
chair whose attitude Is reflected in
this legislation a governor who
would be owned by neither labor or
capital, but would treat both on their
merits, rather than a man who
preaches about his love for the work
ing man while doing the bidding of
the corporations, who poses as the
friend of organized labor, but when a
strike la on throws them down and
sides in with . their corporate em
ployers? Problem of Storing Food.
Whatever may the outcome of the
proposed legislation to regulate cold
storage of foodstuffs, the one consid
eration of human health should be
kept In mind above everything else.
If it is, a just law may be obtained,
and if it guides further In the enforce
ment of the law there need be no more
trouble. How long quantities of food
or foodstuffs should be kept in e tor-
age or ln what volume ought not to
give serious difficulty if all Interests
are In. earnest about conserving peo
ple's health.' It is a matter of social
economy first, industrial last.
It should never be possible for arti
cles of food to be kept ln storage un
til they are Impaired so that they may
menace the lives of consumers. No
financial consideration should be great
enough to outweigh this one object.
It is all nonsense to say that experts
In cold storage cannot tell how long
each commodity may stand the pro
cess. The purpose primarily of the cold
storage system was a good one and If
It was faithfully carried out it would
have a very helpful Influence on the
householder's pocketbook and health
alike. But the primary purpose was
not to facilitate speculation. And the
law should be bo framed as to see that
men do not gamble in these neces
saries of life, both to the physical and
financial injury of the consumer. This
cold storage system la a splendid
thing, provided It ia not abused, but
abused It becomes a menace Instead
of a benefit. It is abused when It Is
made to control the prices of com
modities and contaminate them aa
well. These are wrongs with which
the -new law will have to dtaL It la
a matter that touches every household
In the country.
Maryin Hughitt's Retirement.
Marvin Hughitt, who retires from
the presidency of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad after twenty
four years In that office, leaves a great
work behind him. For years ho has
been one of the really constructive
forces In the railroad world and one
of the prime builders of the great !
northwest He has contributed vitally :
to this em of vast development In the
ransmlsslsslppi country. Dominant
In personality, his influence has al
ways been positive ana forceful. His
connection by marriage with Mr. Har-
rlman and by close personal and busi
ness association with the other great
money powers of the country, long ago
gave him a prestige that was valuable
to him In the enterprises over which
he presided, and fortunate for the
country reached by his lines.
While president of the Northwest
ern Mr. Hughitt served aa director on
the boards of the Union Pacific and
other important roads and was one of
the really big railroad men who have
done so much in the last few decades
to develop and promote business in
the west. His successor, William A.
Gardner, In all probability will pur
sue much the same policies as Mr.
Hughitt followed. They have been
long associated together in the man
agement of the Northwestern and
there la no reason to look for marked
changes now. Mr. Hughitt will con
tinue as chairman of the board of di
rectors and act In an advisory capacity
to the president and managers of the
road. This principle of going from
the presidency to the board chairman
ship is one practiced considerably un
der the Harriman regime.
Jap Cure for Divorce.
While visiting in this country with
her husband, Mme. Yenklo Ozakl, wife
of the mayor of Tokio, seems to have
been Impressed more by the preva
lence of divorce than any other one
thing in the United States. She offers
a remedy for the disease by declaring
that if American wives will think more
of their husbands and families than
of themselves the problem will be
solved. This certainly Is a fair propo
sition and a simple way out of all this
difficulty. How is it that the Amer
ican wives have not, thought of It
before?
The Japanese wife thinks first of her
duty toward her family; the American wife
of her duty toward herself.
Now, of course, Mme. Ozakl has not
been In America long enough to meet
and become acquainted with all the
American wives and the status of their
domestic felicity. . It Is possible that
If she tarried here longer she might
find a few wives quite as thoroughly
devoted to their families as any In
Japan, and quite as ready as the Japa
nese to think of self second.
In Japan and other oriental coun
tries women have only of late years
been permitted to enjoy the privileges
of education and social equality, so it
is but natural that they should think
more of man than of themselves; they
have yet to learn how to think enough
of themselves to make themselves
man's real helpmeet. In this country
woman is not only on a domestic par
ity with man, but she is rapidly press
ing toward the point of economic
equality.
But Mme. Ozakl argues again that
domestic happiness Is prompted Jn
Japan by the fact that mates are se
lected by parents and she discounts
our system of letting love rule at ran
dom as a fickle trick of the passions,
liable at any time to fail. Imagine
the American girl being promised by
papa to some chosen youth at the ten
der age of, say, 12! That might con
duce to happiness in Japan; in thn
United States, never.
How does It come that Mme. Ozaki
has laid all the blame on woman? Is
woman's Inhumanity for woman as
douHnant In the orient as In the Occi
dent? Has she ever thought that
possibly in a case or two divorce might
be the fault of the man? The propo
sition of thinking less of' self than of
others is sound, whether applied to
the cure of divorce or a dozen other
domestic ills, but that of blaming the
woman will not always furnish the
answer.
On Hand-Shaking.
In this country, an adverse feeling
has set in against the ordinary hand
shake. It has come to mean nothing
to many people, who care less for cere
mony than for sincerity. When two
men meet ln the prize ring prepared
to maul each other into insensibility
they shake bands. So do two friends
who meet after a long separation.
Then when these two gladiators have
ended their combat and one lies help
less on the floor the conqueror walks
over and gallantly extends his right
hand, whereupon they shake. As Mr.
Jeffries observed to Mr. Johnson, who
proposed this truce of war, "I shake.
I'm whipped, but by a dog."
Under such circumstances the hand
shake cornea to be an empty fashion.
Too many men do not think otherwise
when they practice it, and it is these
who bring the custom into disrepute.
It ia urged that you cannot squeeze
real cordiality or felicitation Into a
man; you cannot do it by breaking
the bones In his right hand. The fel
low with the clammy, Dab-tall hand la
no more exasperating than the one
who tries to show you by a single grip
bow powerful he is or how much he
loves you.
But the handshake ia more than a
form of greeting; it Is the Involuntary
tattler of a man's character. The fel-
low who Just lays hie fingers In your
palm to do with them as you see fit
Bnd makes no motion toward hand
shaking, has told you his whole nsture
right there and It is little more diffi
cult to get a glimpse into the fiery,
impetuous heart of him who goes to
the other extreme when he grips you
like a vice.
Hand-shaking when practiced in a
sensible, dignified manner is a. pretty
symbol, but when it ia made the
n,ean OI B ma" Klnas ol "ipuensy
t question if it could not be
dropped entirely without working any
great injuries.
Colller's Weekly prints a map of the
country showing tho various states in
white, black or shadow to indicate
which are insurgent, which are stand
pat and which are democratic, and
labels Nebraska as "stand-pat" and
New York as "Insurgent." If the
platform promulgated by Nebraska
republicans ia any more stand-pat than
that promulgated by New York repub
licans we would like Collier's to point
out what makes it so. If the repub
lican platform and candidates in New
York are any more insurgent tban the
republican platform and candidates ln
Nebraska we would like Collier's to
point out the difference. We Insist
that so far as Nebraska la concerned,
and as we regard New York also,
neither is "stand-pat" and neither Is
"Insurgent," but both are "progres
sive." Omaha and this congressional dis
trict has been for nearly four years
represented in Washington by a con
gressman unable to do anything but
join in the talk-feat and draw his sal
ary. Whenever Omaha wanted any
thing attended to it had to call on
Senators Burkett and Brown or send
a committee of outsiders who could
bring pressure to bear at the right
spot. The success of the democratic
candidate for congress in the coming
election would mean a continuance of
this undesirable situation. The elec
tion of Judge Sutton, the republican
candidate, would give Omaha and the
district an energetic worker at Wash
ington ln harmony with the adminis
tration and on the Job all the time.
All agree that the best heritage left
by the late Senator Dolllver la the
force of his own personal example in
making his way from a poor, penniless
lad to a position of eminence) and
power in the nation. Ours is still a
country of unbounded opportunity and
the door is still open wide to the am
bitious boy who Is willing to work and
run the race dauntlessly over rough
roads as well as smooth.
If It proves true that the police au
thorities have the men who Bet the
bombs In Los Angeles It will be grati
fying and show how well the officers
on the case have done their work and
kept their counsel. They have been
criticised ln some quarters for not
making good, but If they . have the
right ones now It will be better than
to have drawn in a whole dragnet full
of suspects or Innocent men.

AUTUMN STORM.
Madison Cawein ln New York Sun
Topping the hills the oaks.
Black on the sunset's fire,
lraw with terrific stroke's
Gates, as It were, of Tyre
Burning: while. like a page
Out of some tragedy.
Heaven grows dark with rage.
Pregnant with things to be. .
Out of the north the wind
Oallops with all his hordes, .
Hunlike, and gaunt and blind,
Sweeping the earth with swords.
Night on her tower of cloud
Lets her wild beacon flare;
Then through the darkness loud
Arrows rain everywhere.
Wrapped ln their mantle wide,
Cloaks of the mist that stream,.
Onward the hours ride.
Forward, with never a gleam;
On through the forest, on
Over wild bill and plain, , c
. All the long night till dawn
Trample the troops of rain.
