A New Jersey convict says there is no money in burglary. He evidently haa not yet learned to cover it up with belated second mortgages and the statute of limitations. .Mr. Hitchcock's paper would rather talk about the tariff than about re- fusing to pay back the stolen stats money borrowed by Hitchcock from Bartley. Any wonder? Since ths United States acquired the Philippine islands thetr population has decreased 25 per cent. Still that is nothtng to worry over, for we prob ably got more tbau we really bargained for In the first llo Overplaying Their Hand. It wag to be eiperted tht brewers and liquor dealers the ould i I fight back against any proposal like county option, which they regard as Injurious to their Interests. It was to be expected that they would leave no stone unturned to get a wet legislature, and perhaps they have a right to regard It equally a measure of self-defense to elect a gov ernor who will veto every county op tion bill for them If they fall down In the legislature. - But the brewers and liquor dealers are playing their band pretty strong In Nebraska when they go beyond this and undertake with their money and hirelings to el?ct a United States sen ator who has nothing to do with county option one way or the other. It should be known far and wide that the brewers and liquor dealers through their subsidiary organization, known as the German-American Al liance, have put Gilbert M, Hitchcock, democratic candidate for t'nltetl States senator lit with Mayor "Jim," their preferred candidate for governor. With their money they are buying space In foreign language newspapers for paid reading matter calling upon foreign born citizens to vote for Hitchcock as "the fearless defender of liberal policies" and accusing Senator Burkett with 'being a prohibitionist. They make out that Hitchcock has a claim to the liberal vote Hitchcock, the man who. when the big fight was on threatening Nebraska with pro hibition in 1890, ran away to, Ku rope Just as be did two years ago when the tariff bill was up. This output of the brewery public ity bureau has already appeared In a large number of foreign language newspapera and la doubtless to be followed up with "the personal work of their boodle brigade. The brewers and liquor dealers should be careful or they may overplay their hand Land Commissioner Cowlei. At the polls next week the voters of Nebraska should Issue. a certificate of re-election to Commissioner of Public Lands and Buildings E. B. Cowles. We freely concede that when Mr. Cowlea announced his candidacy for this office two years ago he was an unknown, but he has made good, and by making good has made himself widely and favorably known. Mr. Cowlea la running the public business pertaining to the office of land com missioner a be would "run his own private business, and that la the way It should be run, and will be run for two years more if he Is accorded a second term. ; ' . ' '" ' ' . A 1912 -Prediction. In a composite study of Taft and Roosevelt, contributed to the Atlantic Monthly Francis E. .Leuppwho was commissioner of Indian affairs. under the last administration, ventures Into the Interesting realm of prediction as follows: ; '. . . : . Without pretending to lie. a prophet or tha son of a prophet, I will stake my all as a political . weather-observer on the propoaition that, huwevor serious may be their factional differences, the republi cans will renominate President Taft In 112 If he withe It. This In nut a guess. but a sober thesis In the, psychology of prao.UcaJ politics. The party that has elected Its candidate president by vouch ing for him unconditionally to the Amer ican people would be ashamed to.confas. at the end of Ma term, that it bad mis led the voUvs. - 1-ook back over -the last fifty years. No power under heaven, ex cept his own disinclination, could have prevented llucoln's second nomination, or Grant's, or Qarfleld's, If ha had lived; or Cleveland's, or Harrison's or MoKln ley's. As neither Johnson or Arthur had reached the presidency by election, and Hayes !iad publtoly deolarad that he would not stand for a second term, their oases are not provcasnu. While everyone has a right to turn prophet for himself, Mr. Leupp is an old experienced newspaper man of wide political experience, and when he aays in cold type, that "The1 'Return from Elba' fol-de-rol haa afready dis solved into thin air from which it was conjured, and that the 'Roosevelt for 1912' hurrah still belongs in the same category with the familiar, abrldge- met of Hamlet," he doubtless wants lt understood that he did not write the standard biography of Theodore Roosevelt without gaining a fairly good familiarity with the political barometer. The High Price Bogie. Colonel Roosevelt was .but staling what most people know to be true in saying that high prices were world wide nd not a condition peculiar to any one country; that they were caused by the trusts in some cases and by universal economic conditions in others and not by the tariff. He might have gone further and allowed from com parative figures that certain articles on which the new tariff law either re duced or entirely removed duty had gone up in price aluce that law became effective, showing conclusively that some power outside of the .tariff was responsible for these prlcsg. But tbeae things are already per fectly patent to people who want to understand them. This attempt to make a political issue out of the hlgh- cost-of-llving problem Is but the merest trick of crafty politicians. Back ' in 1896, when the country was still under the rule of the democrats, W. J. Bryan wont up and down the land vocifer ously declaring thatthe. only way to improve conditions was to advance prices and that the only way to ad vance price was to elect him and bis party in office. Today this same W. J. Bryan Ma as loudly declaiming against high prices and declaring that the only hape of the people la in a gen eral reduction of prices and that they rn lievpr secure that until the demo- cratg are elevated to power. The farmer Is not alone In his proa-' perlty. The artisan, the mechanic, the merchant, the banker, the profeasional man everybody has shared to some extent In this period of unprecedented prosperity; brought about and main tained under continuous republican rule. But Mr. Bryan and other sophist object to crediting this prosperous con dition to the party in power. Then why credit It with the high prices when using them as a basis of attack? Why not credit It with the good as well as the bad? Of course, intelligent men under stand that Mr. Bryan and his demo cratic fellow-stumpspeakera do not mean what they say; that they are making speeches to get office and that when the speech-making time haa past they will buckle down again to the good old business of gathering In more of that republican prosperity. The worst thing that could befall Mr. j Bryan would be to be taken at his word, politically. If the country bad done that fourteen years ago, he would not today be rated as a eeml-mlllion-air. Blood Money or Hash Money ! Hartley hat been ready to take blood money for some tlma. Congressman Hitchcock's Confession. Was it "blood money" or "hush money?" To be more exact, is It ' blood money" when Bartley asks Hitchcock to repay the money loaned to hi in during his direst need? Is it "blood money" when Bartley asks Hitchcock to pay back money for stealing which Bartley served five vears in the penitentiary? " Is It "blood money" when Bartley asked Hitchcock to put it back after himself eating prison fare for five years with Hps sealed to protect Hitchcock and his other partnera In crime? Or, rather, was it not "hush money" that Hitchcock, editor of a democratic paper, exacted from Bartley, a repub lican state treasurer, when he got him to make him the original" loans? Was it not "hush money" that Bartley had to put up to Hitchcock to make Sure that the democratic World- Herald would not be too inquisitive about any crooked work done by a republican state treasurer? Was it not "hush money" that Bart ley came across with to Hitchcock to make sure that the democratic World Heraid would not fight him too hard when up for re-election the next year? Or could it have been "hush money" put up by Bartley to Hitchcock for suppressing information Hitchcock then had about Bartley's illegal farm ing out of state funds? "Blood money'- 4-J'hush - money' which?" r" '" " ' ' A Diifranchising Decision. Judge Troup has responded favor ably to the democratic demand that the voting machines be used in Doug las county in the impending election. The democrats want the machines used solely because they believe the party lever will force many people to vote the straight democratic ticket against their will and prevent them from voting for .the candidates of their choice. ' The ruling of the court, there fore, Is a disfranchising decision. It will make the result of the election In Douglas county, with the coercion, in timidation and boodle of the brewery democratic combine, represent the real wishes of the voters still less than It otherwise would. Nebraska Crops. Nebraska farms have yielded $220, 000,000 in crops this year, according to the state labor bureau's figures, which, at least on corn, are much less than those of other statisticians. So this total is more likely to rise than fall by several millions. But it is large enough as it stands to Indicate a most healthful condition in Nebraska and these figures, it must be borne in mind, do not tell near all the story. They com prise soil products only. To be added to these is about $175,000,000 worth of live stock and scores of millions in poultry, eggs, butter and milk. So taken all round, the Nebraska farmer ought to be able to keep the wolf from the door for quite a while. The state bureau suggests that the population figures are likely to be dis appointing, not showing as great in crease as might be expected. Well, that Is not fatal to Nebraskans so long as they are multiplying their wealth and sources of wealth upon so vast a scale. And beside all this, they hav not yet turned their attention to the business of increasing their population. When they do, and they should not delay longer, they probably will produce re sults to compare favorably with what they have been producing on their farms. The state is better equipped now for the reception of large influxes of popu lation than it was a decade ago, and with all the elements encouraging a western heglra. Nebraska ought to get its natural share of newcomers. But it should not rest content with this natural share. Mr. Maupln properly suggests that its people should "awake to the sense of their duty" in advertising the resources and oppor tunities of their state in an effort to attract new population. This same ap peal has beeu made by other state labor commissioners and ether sources time and time again and It should stir us to greater action. A state with the least percentage of illiteracy and the greatest per capita tax and hundreds of other similarly strong points should not want for the substauce on which i to build a olld campaign of rational publicity. We have the soil, the cli mate, the s-oclal and educational ad vantages, the railroads and markets and we mtint have more of the same sort Of good people that we so proudly boast. It Isn't what Kdggr Howard has proved on him half so much as what he himself has confessed that Is dis AMjt.in 1 1 j , i. .. v. . i 1 1 1 rw ii nig ir. i i i uruiK. s man who ; admits being saved from financial ruin by timely relief in the ahape of loans from State Treasurer Bartley and then I further admits that after his benefac tor had served five years In the peni tentiary for stealing the money thus borrowed, he repudiated the debt, be hind the statute of limitations, ran hardly pretend to be an honorable business man or lay claim to the sup port of honorable men. The last bunch of democratic dis reputables sent to the legislature from Douglas county did more damage in three months to Omaha's friendly re lations with the country than can be repaired by three years of Ak-Sar-Ren entertainments and Commercial club trade excursions. One set-back of that kind ought to be enough for some time to come. "Tom" Tibbies complains that the letter of Chairman Manuel advising populists to vote for Aldrlch for gov ernor Is not authorized by the populist state committee. Tibbies' apologies for Hitchcock sharing the Bartley loot, which he once so loudly de nounced, are not authorized either. The democratic machine will have the help of the voting machine, and yet that ought to make every voter all the more determined to record himself for his preferred candidates no matter how much effort might be required to do so. Dr. Anna Shaw says unless England allows the women to vote that country will soon find Itself In the throes of a revolution. Ah, now, she is Just try ing to scare you, Johnny Bull. Congressman Hitchcock has written a personal letter soliciting votes ad dressed "Dear Mr. Rosewater." But we decline to come across Into the "Dear Bartley" class. Every reason urged by Mr. Bryan In behalf of democratic candidates for congress is a reason why republicans should vote for republican nominees. No, gentle reader, neither Victor Rosewater, nor any one else actively connected with The Bee, is running for any office now or in prospect! It is back to J;be Philippines, back to the "ole swlmmln' hole," for General Funston, but Aggie will not be there to put knots in his clothes. Hup tor the Oppressed. Chicago News. After John W.

The serious , tleup of the express com panies in nr York, gives prouilsiuu. opening for tha advocates of a more lib eral parcels post law to push their cause. The present arrangement Is clearly Illog ical. We can mall parcels to almost any reasonable amount to foreign countries, but a very low limit Is put on the privilege In our own country. A .considerable exten sion of It wo aid at least give us an anchor to windward under conditions like those now existing. Vanished Slarns of the Frontier. New York Sun. "You no longeq have a frontier," said a foreign visitor at Dead wood, who had read deeply In wild western tales and was dis appointed at; finding no open gambling, danco halls or long haired cow boy a "shoot ing up tha town." Ho might have gone fur ther and found more evidence.

Itarrlman of 10 W acres of land t I the Mte of New York forms the nucleus of what is destined to be the finest public park owned by any state In the union. Th transfer of the land was accompanied by a Rift of tl.noo.OO from the Harrlman family treasury and $1.MO.0in from J. P. Morgan, J. P. Rockefeller and other rich dwellers along the Hudson. The cssh contribution constitutes one-half the fund of 15.000,009 be used for the purchase of additional land to complete the area of the park so planned. The state Is to provide the re maining half of the If.OO.OO fund, and a constitutional amendment authorising tha Issue of bonds for thst purpose will be passed upon by the voters of ths state next Tuesday. The park project received Its Impetus from the rescue of the Palisades of the Hudson from quorryrnen, by joint action of the stats of New York and New Jersey. The Hurrlman land and that which Is to be purchased extends from tha Pallaades at Ktony Point to the Ramapo mountains through Orange and Kockland counties. United with the Palisades parkway the pro ject means sixty miles of driveway along the famed highlands of the Hudson, from Fort Lea on the Jersey side of the liver to Newburg, embracing the finest scenery along tha Hudson, the foreated Ramapo mountains, five to ten miles back from the river, and the rough timbered valleys be tween. The new park Is forty mile from the heart of New York City, and readily accessible by river steamers. A well dressed woman boarded a Broad way car that had no Vacant seals.

The man continued his ef forts to arise, saying: "Madam, will you kindly permit me to ' With another push tho woman again forced him buck, insisting that she could't think of accepting his seat. With one su preme effort the eldferly man forced her a j hie. "Madam," he exclaimed, "you hav already carried me three blocks beyond my destination. I don't care a tinker's thing umbob whether you take my seat or not, but 1 wish to leave this car." And he did amid the laughter of tha other passengers. In which ths woman hart the good senss to Join. The other night, dining real cut-upplahly before theater time In a New Tork res taurant, these eyes beheld a singular spec tacle. It was that of a lovely young creature, diessed within about a quarter of .an Inch of her life, being carried out of tha res taurant in the arms of her fat and puffy presumable husband, carried right across the sidewalk after tha rtstaurant was lert behind and tenderly deposited In tha bosom of a watting automobile. Twas a curious sight for asveral rea sons. That Bappno number, you see, is not often pulled off even In New York res taurants, where many things "go" that go not elsewhere. Moreover, the acrump tuously dressed young creature did not look 111. On the contrary, she wore a dis tinctly sheepish expression of face as. In the clutch of the fat, presumable spouae. she was carried out through the lanes of tables. 1 , Why, then,, was she being carried out of the restaurant In the arms of the adi pose male? The question was answered when the head waiter, wearing an ear-to-ear grin, trudged behind the carrier and the carried bearing a foolish looking pair of teenuhey. wettuchy evening slippers in hla hand. Tha head waiter accompanied carrier and cartird to the automobile and handed In the foolish little slippers. Thus was the question answered. The poor little thing, you understand, bad, after seating herself at a table, eased off those dolly looking slippers to give her tootsies Just a minute's surcease of misery. The allppsrs wercn much more than three or four sixes too diminutlvs for her, but even at that they hurt her feet, and so, with such furtiveness as women shuck ing themselves of shoes under tho restau rant table know how to use, she had per formed that little act, to her no doubt pro found relief, comfort and assuagement during the meal. What w'oa was hero nobody shall ever know when shs found at the termination i nt the meal that not only could aha not j return her footomo to tho shelter of the slippers, on account of their swolienness, but that her feet were so numb and sore that ahe couldn't even stand up on them, much less walk, even without the Incasing shoes. And so there was nothing to be dona except for the male of embonpolntlsh proclivities with her to pick bar up In his fat arms and tot her to the automo bile and carry her home. A couple of youthful birds of piey have fleeced a number of grocers by a new game. One of them enters a storo and orders, say, a case of beer, at a cost of 11.76. "Deliver it to Thomas Smith, No. 10 East Fourth stset," he orders, "and send along the change for a 110 bill." The grocer's boy places tho case and t!;.a on the dumbwaiter at tha number named, atarts It up and whistles for Mrs. Thomaa Smith. Hue opens tho door and the boy calls out: "There's your beer and your change, fend down your bill." "But I didn't order any beer," Mrs. Smith responds. Immediately a voice from above calls out: "That's all right. It be longs to me." Tho boy sends the waiter higher; the con federate on tho roof reaches down and collars the 8.3. while tho boy below whistles, and waits for tho bill that never comes.
