Nebraska has cut down materially
the democratic majorities in both
houses of the state legislature.
The only real republican Bet-back
in Nebraska Is the loss of a United
States senator on preferential vote.
Congressman Hitchcock may well con
gratulate himself on the decisive ma
jority which lie has polled, and yet he
should not flatter himself too much
that It Is a personal tribute or a vindi
cation of his public record. Many a
voter marked his ballot for Hitchcock,
less because he liked Hitchcock than
because he disliked imrkett. Mr.
Hitchcock had the money and support
of the brewers and the endorsement
of Bryan and his prohibition following
at one and the same time. He sailed
under false colors as the populist nom
inee and took the benefit of the
straight democratic votes put on the
machine to boost Dahlman. The dis
closure of Hltchcock"a participation in
the Bartley defalcation would have
put him out of commission had he
been a republican, but the democrats
evidently are not guided by such high
standards. Burkett, on the other
hand, suffered from a steady backfire
from those whom he had beaten for
the primary nomination. He had ac
cumulated a small army of disap
pointed ofllce-Eeekera whose political
sores goaded them to unusual activity.
Against these defections he bad noth
ing substantial to offset, and Burkett'sl
weakness proved Hitchcock's strength;
base Its appeal for support In two
years from now. If the people do not
see by then the mistake they have
made Is swapping horses amid streams
it will be very remarkable. The "In
terests" which were against the re
publicans in the elections Just held,
probably will be against them two
years hence, for they are concerned in
blocking legislation of the kind that
the Taft administration is engaged in
enacting. But In a straight-out na
tional fight. It remains to be seen
whether these interests can win.
The surest hope of republican suc
cess lies in a continuation of a Bane
service to the people and it will re
quire more than democratic sophistry
to defeat such a hope.

Anti-American Eiots in Mexico.
The anti-American demonstrations
In Mexico City originating with the de
grading of the American flag by medi
cal students and culminating in fatal
riots demands the attention of our
government, although we do not be
lieve they will lead to more serious
consequences. The United States can
not submit to dishonoring of the flag
and assaults upon It citizens in foreign
ianda without apology and reparation,
particularly if countenanced by ap
proving or Inactive officials.
The hostile feeling toward Ameri
cans In Mexico springs from causes
for which, the Americans are not wholly
blameless. For two years past sev
eral of our sensational maguzines have
been publishing articlea assailing Mex
ico and Mexicans and derogatofy to
the Mexican character. A country that
has been making as great progress as
Mexico has ' in the last twenty-five
years doe not relish being called "bar
barous" by critics whose own country
frequently Indulges in worse barbari
ties.. The recent burning at the stake
of a Mexican in Texas was well cal
culated to inflame the Mexican mind
anew against Amerlcad barbarities and
to incite reprisals on Americans in
Mexico.
Of course the better classes in both
countries have a clearer understanding
of existing conditions, but as we see,
the more intelligent are powerless
with those classes unable to make fine
distinctions. There Is no occasion for
a break between Mexico and the
United States, but every reason why
relations should be whole and cordial
They will not be that way, though
until Americans assume the obligation
of leading toward the point of mutual
friendship. The demonstrations in
Mexico after all are .no more antl
American in their actual influence and
results than are those ill-timed and
unfounded statements published by ir
responsible periodicals of our own
country attacking Mexico in a malic
ious rather than in a critical way.
Our Next Governor.
Chester 11. Aldrlch will be the next
governor of Nebraska. Aside from his
proclaimed intention to favor a county
option law ho will go into office with
no strings on him except those that
bind him to the conscientious and fear
less performance of public duty. Mr.
Aldrlch has been chosen chief execu
tive by an overwhelming vote, indi
cating the high degree of popular con
fidence which be commands, and it Is
up to him to demonstrate by a clean,
business-like, and progressive adminis
tration looking toward the interests
of the whole state, without favoritism
to any section or any special interest,
that he is worthy of the high honor.
We believe Nebraska will not be dis
appointed, and that, unlike his demo
cratic predecessor, he will make such
a record that he will be accorded a
second term by a bigger majority than
the first.
Omaha will do. well to try to square
Itself with the next governor of Ne
braska by cultivating his friendship.
A testimonial banquet by the Commer
cial club right quick might help make
him feel that our business men have
nothing against him personally or
politically.
In spite of the slump, every man on

Selling Impure Food.
A Pennsylvania Judge recently sen
tenced a merchant to prison for sell
ing bad eggs. This looks like a prac
tical demonstration of the pure food
law. The merchant, of course, pro
tests that he should not have been
sent to jail, but merely fined if it
was necessary at all to punish him. He
considers a jail sentence a severe pen
alty and it is, but so is selling rotten
eggs a sei'ious offense.
What do all these pure food laws
mean, if they may be repeatedly de
fied with impunity or nothing heavier
than the Imposition of a nominal fine.
We have made too much fuss over the
BCience of protecting life and. health
to let the progress made go for naught.
The man who is mean enough to sell
bad eggs knowing them to be bad
Is entitled to no sympathy.
It is charged in some cities. Indeed,
In Philadelphia we hope not in
Omaha certain men make a specialty
of buying up bad eggs that have failed
to pass the candle test and selling
them to bakers Their odor may be
lost in the process of baking, but
their baleful effect cannot be. If so,
the Philadelphia Judge has set a good
example, which, 'if followed in other
cities and states, will have a strong
tendency to bring about a more gen
eral respect for our laws against food
adulteration.
It is safe to say that a good part of
the big vote polled by "Johnny" Lynch

as an emphatic protest against the
sell-out of Brunlng, whom Lynch will

A Busy Short Session.
It may be assumed that the demo
crats will use their triumph this fall
as a starting point toward a national
i victory in 1912, with the presidency
and both bouses of congress as their
objective.- They will .begin at once
their preparation and will .employ all
their time and strategy to reach that
end. In point of strategy tbey may
accomplish much, but' ' in'1 point of
actual service in the form of legisla
tion useful to' the country they have
never produced results.,'.'
- Their success two years hence, then,
must depend to .large extent on how
successful the republicans are in the
coming short session of congress. In
spite of all criticism as reflected in
some of the returns the present admin
istration has done well in trying to
keep faith with the people. All it
needs to do from now on is to continue
the same effort. It must press on
with its work on positive legislation
and let the democrats pursue as they
will their program of negation and
leave it for the people to judge which
has eurned the prize of popular ap
proval in 1912. , '

What Consolation for Bryan.
Four fourteen years W. J. Bryan
dominated the democratic party and
exerted every resource at his command
to restore it to power. For fourteen
years democracy went down to one de
feat after another and lost power and
office continuously. Suddenly Mr.
Bryan Is deposed from national leader
ship and his party achieves a remark
able triumph.
Mr. Bryan will claim, and rightly
bo, that he was not an issue in the
elections just held. But neither was
be a factor' for success. He contributed
nothing to the recovery of the house
by his party; he contributed nothing
to the election of half a dozen demo
cratic governors in' prominent eastern
states and nothing to the apparent
victory In Indiana and close race in
Iowa. The fact is that the democrats
conspicuously triumphant in state elec
tions are men who have always op
posed and been opposed by Bryan, men
who represented the anti-Bryan, or
Cleveland w ing of the party that Bryan
sought to rule or ostracize. Covernor
Harmon, whom be commanded to "pre
pare to Btand aside," is re-elected by
a vastly enlarged majority. New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Con
necticut, states that never went wild
over Bryan or Bryanism, have flopped
over into the democratic column under
leaders of the Cleveland wing.
1 The dispassionate observer must see
in the returns little if any personal
consolation for the man who thrice led
bis party to defeat. No one will pre
tend to say that the results this year
are entirely because of new leadership,
but neither will sane men attempt to
say that they probably would not have
been otherwise had Bryan dominated
the party a in former campaigns.

The New Jeisey campaign was nnici ie
among tha many suite contests tnia ran.
It was a campaign of instruction, an ap
peal to thinking people. There were no
personalities, uo vituperation. At the out
set Dr. Wilson set high his standard of
discussion of public issues, and hia op
ponents were obliged to follow. His thor
ough knowledge of national and state con
ditions was no less astonishing to the
multitude than his clear forceful method of
presentation. He did not flatter his au
diences, nor tell one clas that which policy
required to be withheld from the other.
The old leaders of his party, fearful at the
start, soon discovered that Instead of "set
ting up" a raw recruit, they had enlisted
an experienced rlrlllmaster and commander.
To his opponents who frequently heckled
him with questions ho answered "yes" or
no" with surprising quickness. Take, for
example, the qulx about tho new national
ism as expounded by Theodore Roosevelt.
Discussing that Issue Dr. Wilson made this
point: "The new nationalism means
something. I do not know exactly what,
it has been defined so often by various
persons and never twice alike. Hut 1 can
tell you one thing that it means: It means
that if states cannot reform certain things
we will have to look to the federal gov
ernment to do the reforming for us. We
talk about centralisation of power and .say
we are Jealous of federal power. Well,
somebody has to furnish the power. It
you won't furnish It, the government will.
It Is your duty to taka hold of and to
familiarize yourselves with your home af
fairs, and if you do not, why then you
need not be surprised If your congressmen
give that power to the federal government."
Regarding corporations and methods of
regulation, he said: "A corporation is
merely a convenient instrument of busi
ness, and we may regulate its use as we
please, and those who uae it. The lndis
putuble facta ia that the federal govern
ment has, in recent years, been launched
into many fields of activity, even the ex
istence of which previous generations did
not foresee. I, for one, am very Jealous
of the separata powers and authority of
the Individual states of the union. But It
is no longer possible with the modern com
blnations of industry and transportation to
discriminate tha interest of the states as
they could once be discriminated. Inter
ests, once local and separate, have become
unified and national. They must be treated
by the national government."
As sketched by one of the reporters of
his campaign. Dr. Wilson "is a lank man,
neither careless nor very careful In hia
dress. I don't believe there Is much
muscle on hia bones, but those bones are
very large. When he stands his coat fits
loosely on his shoulders. Maybe his tailor
measured him for It; but I fancy that
instead he told htm to go In and take a
look at the two pegs tn his clothes closet
where he hangs It up of nights. His cheek
bones are high, like a Multnomah Indian's,
and he runs to chin excessively.
Dr. Wilson's face la definitely four-
cornered, with hard bone not far beneath
the skin at any of the corners. Ills hair
is thin and graying, and may possibly be
combed regularly. There is a wrinkle
Just between Ms heavy eyebrows deep
enough to be a knife scar, and tha lines
which curve down and outward from his
nose, callipering his mouth, are very defi
nite and deep.
It is a kindly face, however; about as
far from that which on would pick out
as belonging to a college president as any
I have recently encountered. I can imagine
how tha many wrinkle which enmesh his
eye and those faint line indicated upon
his forehead could deepen into an ex
tremely fearsome frown for undergraduates
who had transgressed, or for the grafters
who do not make hira despair.
