Wet and Dryi.
In several states nt the recent elec
tion phases of sumptuary legislation
figured as Issues, but the results are
bo varying as to Indicate no such co
herency of sentiment as would afford
a safe guide for the future. In some
states where prohibition sentiment was
strong It apparently lost ground and
In others where It was supposed to be
weaker It seemingly gained strength.
Possibly the partisans on each Hide find
ample room for renewed hope In their
respective cause, but to an unbiased
onlooker such conclusion is not so
plain.
In Missouri the proposed constitu
tional amendment for statewide prohi
bition vnt overwhelmingly defeated,
despite claims of the drys that it
would carry with a wide margin. To
offset this, Oklahoma defeated the pro
posal to substitute county option for
Its general prohibition law. Again, in
some counties of South Carolina the
prohibitionists had a landslide for
their plan to put the dispensary out of
business. Nebraska, In which the is
sue was drawn between a brewery can
didate and the republican nominee for
governor running on a platform con
taining a county option plunk, elected
a wet legislature, but annihilated the
brewery man. In Delaware the wets
beat the drys. In Florida, where pro
hibitionists had fully expected to carry
their constitutional amendment, they
lost by a decisive vote. This Is one of
their greatest losses, for in view of
their recent victories in adjacent
states, they had banked with full as
surance on carrying Florida and thus
securing their hold still more firmly
on the south. The coming legislature
in Texas will aubmlt a proposed con
stitutional amendment to the people at
the next election, but, since agreed on
by all parties, It did not form an Issue
in. this election. But, on the other
hand, the prohibitionists named a state
ticket and made an out-and-out fight
for its election. It was headed by a
son of General Sam Houston for gov
ernor and went down to defeat by a
typical Texas democratic majority. It
is barely possible that this may supply
something of a criterion as to the fate
of the constitutional amendment two
years hence, though the drys have
made unmistakable Inroads on the
liquor forces of that state.
' Railroads and Politics.
Otto II. Kahn, one of the American
"kings of commerce," has attracted
wide attention by his remark In
Omaha upon a tour of western rail
roads, that "Railroads must get ont of
politics." The statement has been
generously commented on In the east
and endorsed by other large lights In
the business world. ' Only a few weeks
ago President Mellen of the Boston &
Maine and New Tork, New Haven &
Connecticut laid down a similar pre
cept, declaring, to the amazement of
New England, that the Boston ft Maine
would no longer participate In politics,
but would cultivate a closer and better
understanding between Itself and the
people It served.
Here Is what Mr. Kahn said:
The railroads must ret entirely out of
politics. They appreciate this fact and are
acting accordingly, Thy must establish
more Intimate relations with the people
themselves. It Is a mystery to m that
they did not real! the Importance of tbis
move long ago.
And it Is a mystery to many other
people. It has always seemed strange
that with such business acumen back
of them the railroads did not long ago
awake to the fact that their participa
tion tn politics to the extent of dom
ination to which many of them have
gone hurt more than It helped them,
But It Is encouraging to end them com
lng to their senses even this late, and
If they act upon the advice of men like
Mellen and Kahn the people may con
gratulate themselves that one of the
serious obstacles to more representa
tive government, as well as cleaner
elections. Is being surmounted.
Fight on. Anti-Trait Law.
With the hearing for an Interpreta
tion of the Sherman anti-trust law
pending before the federal supreme
court,. certain interests affected by the
law have been carrying on a "cam
paign of education" through friendly
periodicals of the east and having their
literature put In pamphlet form for
general distribution. These articles
are written by men posing as experts
on the subject and are calculated to
Influence public opinion, if not to at
tract attention of the judges them
selves wbo have to pass upon the act.
The trust magnates may be satisfied
of the wisdom of such methods, but
the Inconsistency of them on the part
of publications so recently condemning
criticism of the courts in others is at
once apparent. All tbis literature goes
under the common heading, "The
Mwiace to Business of the Sherman
Anti-Trust Act." It challenges public
opinion right tlxere. The Sherman law
has not, in the Judgment of most peo
ple, proved to be a menace to business.
It has curbed, the rapacity of certain
kinds of business and in many in
stances has worked beneficent results
by so doing. Of course, It, nor any
other law, ahould be so constructed or
applied as to impair or imperil legiti
mate business, and the Sherman law
has not done that in the long ruu. It
has sought to lay the blame and pen
alty for violation of its provisions upon
the individual and It is this phase of
the law to which the trusts have most
objected. It la because the law con
templates dealing with the fact Instead
of the shadow that It has drawn the
Ere of vested Interests upon It. It has
bet-n shown in too many cases, though,
that visiting civil penalties upon large
Ill) MIK:
corporations will not restrain the en
croachments which the government is
after.
If the anti-trust at Is defective it
is subject to fair correction, and the
court is likely to dW.coxer Ibis, but the
people are not likely at this late dayi
to share tho view of these interests
that it is a menace to business, for
business has attained formidable pro
portions since the law went Into effect.
Judge Sutton's Great Run.
Judge Sutton will not go to con
gress from this district, but everyone
will concede that he made a great run
against seemingly Insurmountable ob
stacles and came remarkubly near
reaching the goal.
Two years ogo the democratic candi
date foV congress In this district was
elected by a majority of 2,575 over his
republican competitor. This year, In
spite of all adverse conditions, in the
face of the local furore for Dahlman,
and against the unlimited campaign
fund replenished by the brewers,
Judgo Sutton has cut this democratic)
majority down to about 300. Judge
Sutton has carried both the two out
side counties, reversing the normal
democratic majority in Sarpy county,
and would without a doubt have car
ried Douglas county and been elected
were It not for the coercion of straight
party tickets by the voting machine.
Though beaten on the face of the
returns. Judge Sutton has nothing to
be ashamed of when ho compares the
little 3 00 adverse majority with the
10,000 democratic majority scored In
the district on other parts of the ticket.
Those New Schools.
The proposition authorizing the
school board to issue 17 50,000 of
school bonds to provide new school
facilities has carried with an over
whelming endorsement. Our people
take a natural pride in their public
schools and are always ready to vote
money necessary to keep them up to
the highest standard.
The bond proposition enumerates
specifically how the proceeds are to be
spent, and it goes without saying that
this apportionment will be duly ob
served. The people who have voted
this money for new school buildings
will Insist upon its honest and eco
nomic expenditure. In the new school
buildings emphasis should be placed
on the essentials and substantial
features, and while they should not
violate any rules of art, they should
conform above all to the demands of
safety and sanitation. Let us put up
no more tinderbox school houses Im
periling the lives of helpless children,
and let us have good plumbing, heat
ing, l'ghtlng and ventilation without
any frills or fancy experiments.
It Is a good deal more important
that the school rooms be light and
airy, the stairways easy and corridors
commodious than that big assembly
halls be provided for social entertain
ment or gewgaw ornaments plastered
on the outside.
Ban Francisco has set a high ante
for New Orleans to raise in that Pan
ama exposition game. Added to the
popular subscription of 17,600,000,
the city, by leave of the state's vote,
may Issue $5,000,000 In bonds and the
state put in another 15,000,000, mak
ing '$17,600,00 In all, which looks
very much like the bacon.
Congressman Hitchcock in his paper
reads a very interesting curtain lec
ture to Governor-elect Aldrlch, which,
however, would be equally and even
more applicable to Mr. Hitchcock,
himself, as the expectant senator,
print it again with name and title sub
stituted. Douglas county republicans can ap
predate now much better what the
democrats have had to contend with
most of the time in the past when they
had to go up against foreordained de
feat with all the resources of war on
the other side.
Judge Troup thinks his decision in
favor of the voting machine is vindi
cated by the election of "Johnny"
Lynch alone of all the republican
candidates on the county ticket. Yes,
and also by the defeat of Judge Sutton
for congress.
It Is supposed to be understood thai
Congressman Latta has agreed not to
run for the third time. But It should
also be understood that Congressman
Latta reserves the right to revise all
agreements.
"What's the matter with Missouri!
She's all right," exclaims the Globe
Democrat, which, considering that
Champ Clark still resides at Bowling
Green, Is a very temperate May of put
ting it.
Virginia farmers are glad to sell
rabbits for 10 cents apiece, the Wash
ington Post says. They ought to have
been able to get that much for one
foot before November 8.
Maybe Senator-to-be Hitchcock will
make Mr. Bryan his secretary In re
turn for those few kind words Mr,
Bryan spoke in bis behalf during the
campaign.
Senator Depew will probably not
complain that the legislature went
democratic. He doubtless enjoyed
himself what time he spent in Wash
ington. Dr. Clippen surely bas a good joke
on some London lawyer. He had
$3,000 in a bank thut bus just failed

I'lime Minister Asquith's announcement
of the failure of the conference which
sought a solution of the parliamentary
deadlock, disposes of various reports of
success circulated through news bureaus
for weeks past. Less than a week ago,
word came from trustworthy quarters that
an agreement had been reached for a
comprehensive scheme of Imperial federa
tion, embodying home rule for the four
divisions of the United Kingdom and Ire
land, with a parliament representative of
ail the emphre; that a convention was to
be called to draft a federal constitution,
that meanwhile the toriea would prevent a
ministerial crisis until a constitution was
whipped into shape, and that, In any event
no political disturbance would be permitted
to mar the sea-ion of preparation for the
coronation festivities of the coming June,
This imposing structure, reared by
supposedly reliable political architects in
London Is blown over Ilka a house of
cards by the prime minister's word, and
the issue of "ending or mending" the
House of Lords, la returned unchanged to
Parliament, which assembles next week.
Failure Is written on the face of the truoe
entered upon six months ago. A general
election at an early date seems inevitable,
and the question of modifying the veto
power of the House of Lords sent to the
lectors for decision- The fruitless con
clusion of the conference affords abundant
material for political fireworks during the
winter months in Great Britain.
The retirement of Lord Morley from tu
post of secretary of stats for India marks
the retirement of the distinguished liberal
statesman from active politics. Ha remains
a member of the ministry, holding the
honorary office of lord president of the
oouncJl, with a salary of about 110.000 a
year. Lord Morley is the ' last of the
Gladstonlon group of British statesman,
whose names are written large in the hist
ory of the empire for the last fifty years. He
baa been Identified with and an active sup
porter of every progressive movement of
his time, aa unwavering defender of democ
racy, and a brilliant advocate of popular
rights. Largely through bis Influence the
steps were taken which resulted In the
federation of South African states, and
to him goes the credit of Instituting limited
representaUve government tn India. Onl?
oue act in bis long and honorable career
caused grief to his admirers, and that was
his acceptance of a peerage, Gladstone
had repeatedly refused a seat In the upper
house, preferring to remain a commoner to
the cud. But unusual circumstances forced
Mr. Morley to sacrifice his convictions
and consistency. One very near to him. It
Is related, became a defaulter In business
to an exttnt Involving at least liOO,M. Mr.
M.or ley's name had been forged on notes
and he took the view that be was morally
bound to pay them. In order to do this a
salaried position was necessary, and he ac
cepted the office and title aa a sacrifice
to betrayed friendship.

Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Omaha has been
given the preferential vote for Vnited Hates
senator from Nebraska, after a strenuous,
bitter and unpleasant campaign, by a flat
tering majority. The character of the fight
was such that It has left many scars 'be

self to say whether those tears are to be
Inflamed or healed.
Mr. Hitchcock will have It In his power
pleasantly to surprise both those who sup'

to.be presumed that, as an Intelligent
man, he Is under no considerable de

Hitchcock can pleasantly disappoint by
measuring up to the greatness of his op

lie Is elected, Mr. Hitchcock Is not elected
to be the senator of any particular sect or
coterie or class or interest. He Is elected
to be the senator of all Nebraska. He Is
elected to represent all the people and to
protect every legitimate Interest. It Is
not his province as senator to punish
his enemies. It Is not his place to in
flame hatred and suspicion nor to promote
strife between citizens who may differ with
one another. It la not even his principal
duty, much less his principal opportunity,
o provide public Jobs for his party friends.
Mr. Hitchcock is a man of soma culture

record is not a discreditable one. He has

POLITICAL DRIFT.
Champ Clark's Missouri mule Is being
groomed tor the promised parade on Penn
sylvania avenue. I
One of the many surprising features of
the election Is the awful appetite for office
developed by democrats.
Usually Pennsylvania vocalizes with the
strength of a grand opera oliorus. This
year the state whispers a weak Tenor note.
Uncle Joe piled up his usual majority
and he isn't saying a word. But a snap
shot of his smile would be a moving pic
ture. Back in Indiana "Mary of the vineolad
cottage" has gone Inside, pulled down the
blinds and Is relieving her seared heart
with a good cry.
Cook county, Illinois, and Douglas county,
Nebraska, are partners In misery. Only
one republican in each succeeded In reach,
lng the pie counter.
Referendum clamor in South Dakota put
before the voters the question whether or
not railroad locomotives should wear elec
trlo headlights. The "noes" won and kero
sene was vindicated. . .
Tha "hope of the white race" Is knocked
out again. In St Louis a colored man ran
for an office against the former chairman
of the democratic city committee and
knocked the white man clear over the
ropes.
George Washington Parr of Nebraska
City, late drum major of the Otoe County
Dahlman club, sent to an Omaha friend a
fat game bird, feathers and ' all, tagged
with this pathetic message! ' "Tom, old
scout, enjoy yourself; It's me for orowl"
Missouri pulled down a cloudburst on
the heads of the advocates of a dry state.
In St. Louis the wet majority was 12S.432,
a proportion of twenty to one. Had Billy
Sunday pulled off another preachment In
the town it Is believed the "drys" would
have been skunked.
Financial Snrg-ery.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Several Chinese banks have failed. Now
It will be possible to ascertain if there Is
anything in the old yarn tfiat In China the
failure of a bank was always followed by
the failure of the banker's bead to remain
on his shoulders.
Yon Can't Lose Willie.
Chicago Tribune.
Viewing the result In general and In par
ticular, we entreat Mr. Bryan to be calm.
There Is nothing In It for hlra.

SLEEPYHEAD.
Chioago News.
Teensy little tads like me
Can't have no fun at all.
For soon as we are through with tea
Somebody's bound to call.
In an awful mean old way:
"Bobby, come to bed!
Brother Dick an' sis can stay,
But you're a sleepyhead!" -
When all the children g to see
The movln'-plcture show, - - "
I see the first that's all for me
An' then I have to go.
'Cause nursle whispers: "You can't wait;
That s what your mother said.
For now, you know, it's getting late.
An' you're a sleepyhead!"
An' It's the same way Kundsy night,
When sister's beau's in town:
I see them shade the parlor light
An' pull the curtains down;
r:n ir l drop in unawares,
Why, sister's cheeks git red
She scolds an' says: "Y
ou run upstairs
You little sleepyhead!"
It's "sleepyhead" an "sleepyhead!"
That makes me awful mad:
They pick on me, my nursle said.
Because I'm Just a tad.
Well' when I am a man, just wait,
I'll send some kid to bed.
An' say: "You can't elt up so late,
'Cause you're a sleepyhead I"
