Ignoring Kr. Bryan.
As the first step toward reorganls
ins the democratic rarly the Baltimore

proposes that a conference of the
"leading conservative democrats" of
the nation be held In Baltimore next
January "to formulate a national pol

Obviously Mr. Brfan and his Isms
are to have no part or place In democ
racy's rehabilitation. But that ia nat
ural, for they have had their chance,
a chance that lasted for fourteen years,
during which the party met only de
feat and came at last to what for a
time looked like hopeless disorganiza
tion. Its present temporary revival
can by no fair reasoning be construed
nto a vindication or victory of Bryan
or Bryanlsm, but, on the contrary, it
Is a aad commentary on the incoher
ence of his following, if not a flat re
pudiation of him and his leadership.
The victory waa achieved without his
"aid or consent" and the singular and
significant feature of It all Is that It
was achieved aa soon as Mr. Bryan
was eliminated from the limelight.
It may be argued, on the other hand.
that the victory of the democrats ia no
postire endorsement of the conserva
tlves, and we believe thia la true, but
nevertheless It happena that It la the
conservative candidates who have rid
den into office on the crest of this
periodical tidal wave and it will be the
conservatives, so-called, at least the
anti-Bryan men, who will seize the
relna and drive on with the old rig.
Whatever reorganising la done will be
done by them, and If "to the victor be
long the spoils," it la but fair.
But the reorganisation of the dem
ocratic party, Its futufe leadership, the
policies it adopts and even its recent
victory, all alike are secondary In
point of interest to the question
whether Mr. Bryan can be safely Ig
nored. True, one by one his para
mount issues have been repudiated and
three times he has gone down In per
sonal defeat with them. His Phoenix
like power to rise from overwhelming
defeat used to strike men aa magic.
but now, when, for a time his party
triumphs he Is told It is not because,
but in spite, of him and his doctrines,
and he is altogether overlooked in the
call to arms. It is only the "conserva
tive democrats" who are to be invited
to reorganize the party. But will Mr.
Bryan be content to stay overlooked?
A New Foot Ball Goal.
. The arrest of a college foot ball
player on the charge of murder grow
ing out of the death of an opposing
player in West Virginia suggests,; a
new aspect of the foot balf question,
a new goal to reach. Deaths as the
result -of injuries sustained on the
gridiron have been frequent, but ar
rests of players when they seemed to
have been responsible for the mlsfall
are new.
In the case at hand the testimony
might lead to the belief that the youth
arrested deliberately dealt the blow
that caused the death. In such, case
It would be difficult to distinguish be
tween this and any other act of mur
der, less than first degree. If the tes
timony of the umpire may be relied
onand he is an attorney the blow
was not only avoidable, it was entirely
wanton, and aa soon as it waa dealt
caused the expulsion from the field of
the player, even before the serlouaness
of the injury became known.
It is not necessary to determine tee
merits ot this particular case to de
clare that it ought to bring about a
real reform in the game that would
abolish such deadly tactics and bar
every man who would resort to them.
Some influence outside of foot ball
must take a hand in ita regulation,
since those inside the game have failed
of a duty committed to them. If it
cannot be made harmless we can very
well afford to sacrifice this game aa it
is being played by many, for such ex
hibitions cf animal brutality form no
part of manliness and add nothing de-
alrable to sturdy character.
Pinchot-Sallinrer A rain.
Former Chief Forester Gilford Fln-
chot's appeal to the prealdent for per
mission to submit a brief in the Cun
ningham Alaskan claims case before
its final determination evidently is part
of the plan consequent, in a measure,
upon the election outcome to rerUw
the attack upon Secretary Balllnger
If Mr. Pinchot haa a good ease against
these claims there is bo good reason
why he should not nave a hearing, but
why try the case in the newepapera in
stesd ef before the proper authorities?
He uses parts of the president's letter
to him last January to show that in
the Judgment' of the president, himself,
the Issues pending are clearly within
the Jurisdiction of the chief executive
That being true, he could easily have
advised the president with a few words
of his desire to be heard in the event
of a decision in favor of the claimants
No one can doubt that President Taft
would grant such a hearing.
Plainly, Mr. Pinchot and those as
sociated with him, for he is not speak
ing entirely for himself, are not in
clined to let the case pursue its regu
lar course. In order to have the de
cision taken away from the Interior
department they are reflecting on the
honesty and integrity of practically the
whole department, because Mr. Bal
linger, himself, haa long since with
drawn from personal participation.
Mr. Balltnger now aaya that he aome
time ago recommended the transfer of.
the controversy to the court of .-lalms
so that a derision nilpht be viched
strictly upon merit.
' So far as the Cunnlnebam claims
themselves are concerned, what the
American people want Is what both
Secretary Palllnuer and Mr. Pinchot
profess to want, namely, strict and im
partial Justice If the entries were
made pursuant to law as then existing
without fraud and In good faith, then
the claimants should be given their
patents even though the government
may be making a bad bargain thereby.
On the other hand, if the entries were
perfected in defiance of law by claim
ants in fraudulent conspiracy tbey
should be according to the law and the
should be according to the law and the
evidence and entirely unconditioned by
the personal difference between Secre
tary Balllnger and Mr. Pinchot.
Iowa's New Senator.
The Bee offers congratulations to
the state of Iowa, and also to ita new
senator, Colonel Lafayette Young, edi
tor of the Des Molqes Capital, who has
succeeded by appointment to the va
cancy created by the death of the late
Senator Dolliver. The Bee offera
these congratulations entirely aside
from any consideration of which fac
tion of the republican party is recog'
nlzed by the selection of Colonel Young
for this high honor. Even those who
may question the new senator's pro-
gressiveness will not question his abil
lty and aggressiveness. As a news
paper man ne nas ror twenty years
been on the firing line, fighting the
battles of the republican party in the
Interest of good government. As a
political warrior he has given and
taken blows in the conflict, accumu
lating a multitude of fast friends and
furloua enemies. Whether he Is des
tined to represent Iowa in the senate
for only sixty daya, or for twice alx
years, he will surely be a credit to the
state and a notable addition to the
senate.
Oh, You Foes from Within.
Among the embers In the election
ash-heap we find thla characteristic
and inspiring gem which we take from
the Chicago Examiner:
OMAHA, Neb., November 11. 1910.
The Chicago Examiner, Chicago, 111.: I
desire to express my sincere appreciation
of the splendid work done by the Chicago
Examiner in Ita efforts to bring victory In
Nebraska. Deserted In Its hour of need by
men whom democracy has made, your pa
per gave us hope and encouragement to
fight foes from within as well aa from
without, and that we are not in line with
progreaalve democracy the nation over Is
no fault of your paper nor of your able
special corespondent, Mr. AI Houser. To
you and to him I am deeply grateful.
JAMES C. DAHLMAN
It is pleasing to know that there Is
someone to whom "Jim" Is deeply
grateful. Congressman Hitchoock in
hia post-election pronouncement de
clared that iiia only regret waa that
Mayor "Jim" also was not carried
aong to victory. But up to date the
late democratic candidate for gov
ernor has not made a contribution to
Mr. Hitchcock's World-Herald like this
which he contributes to the Chicago
Examiner. Perhaps it would be in or
der for "Jim" to specify by name who
are the "foes from within" to whom he
refers.
Reciprocity with Canada.
Reciprocity with Canada seem about
to be realized in farm machinery as a
starter. Under section 476 of the
present American tariff law the
United States will place Canadian-
made farm machinery on the free list
and the parliament about to convene
at Ottawa is expected to remove, the
duty from the Implements shipped by
the United States into the Dominion,
Aa trade in this line now stands be
tween the two countries this arrange
ment wonld benefit the Canadian
farmer far more than the American
farmer, for Canada last year bought
$2,596,410 worth of Implements in the
United States, while thia country im
ported from Canada only $96,949
worth. But the scales are not sta
tlonary there. Already for the first
seven months of the current year our
Importations from Canada in this line
far exceed those for the whole ot last
year. One consignment of Canadian
plows valued at $100,000 was
recently landed in Kansaa City for dis
tribution. So that the trade is rapidly
advancing.
But it la when we consider the In
creasing volume of Canada's exports
and Imports of all kinds that this step
as the first toward complete reciprocal
relations between the two countries
becomes most significant. "Last year
Canada's total exports amounted to
$693,111,221 and this year they are
mounting up so rapidly aa to Justify
the belief that they will reach $800,
000,000 by the close of the year. This
represents raw and finished products
and happena to be exactly the value of
the manufactured exports of the United
Statea in one year.
One obstacle has yet to be overcome
before this arrangement on farm
machinery is entirely completed. The
United Statea Treasury department has
held that the separate parts of this
machinery can be entered on the free
list,' but the United Statea courts have
construed the terma of the tariff law
differently, holding that these separate
parta are dutiable and not subject to
the same terma as the machines them
selves. It is understood, however, that
congress at Ita coming session will cor
rect this anomaly.
Former Governor Guild of Massa
chusetts declares In a letter to a Boston
paper that he was misquoted In a
speech which made him say that Israel
Putnam, and cot Betsy Ross, made the
first American flaa:. He asserts tbat
he did give this credit to Betsy Ross,
adding: "We owe the stripes to
Israel rutnam, and, aa far aa record
exists, wo owe the suggestion of stars
to George Washington, and we owe the)
accurate formation of the stnrs to
Betsy," who sewed together the first
flag and made the stara five-pointed,
instead of six-pointed.

cur on February 14. Central Tavla. who
1hs been at the hsad of his corps aince
Mny. I!t0l, win be transferred from the ac
tive list with the rank of major general In
accordance with a apeelal act of congress.
It la a foregone conciunlon .that he will be
succeeded as Judge advocate general by
Colonel E. H. Crowder, the senior officer
of the corps, next to General 1v1h. Col
onel Crowder haa been apoken of in con
nection with a vacancy in the list of gen
eial officers and It was expected that he
would be appointed a brlKadler general
ment aa Judge advocate general will aerve
to proroolo to tue next ugher grades In the
Judge advocate general's department
Lieutenant Colonel John A. Hull, who la
on duty as Judge advocate ot the Depart
ment of the East, and Major John Kiddie
Porter, who la returning from a tour of
duty In the Philippines to again take up
certain duties -in the office ot the Judge
advocate general. These changes will
leave a vacancy in the grade of major and
judge advocate, for which there are many
candidates among line officers, mainly of
the rank of captain who have had more or
less duty as acting judge advocate. The rec
ommendations of General Lavis respecting
the appoinleo will have much weight with
the president.
The results of Tuetday's election on con
gress present an altered aspect of the situ
ation at the capitol so- far as it relates to
service legislation, especially of the person
nel character. There Is an optlmlstlo view
that the coming session of republican dom
ination, to be followed by two sessions
of a democratic house In 1D11-12, may have
helpful, Instead of detrimental, Influences
upon service legislation. It may easily oc
cur that the republican majority In the
corning session will be desirous ot carrying
out certain legislative plans of the adminis
tration In which cause they are apt to be
encouraged, and aided by many of the
democrats who are wiling to have the re
sponsibility of enactment shifted to the re
tiring republican majority and obtain some
things they want thembelvs. however,
much they may subsequtntly rail at the
excess and extravagance of that legislation.
Looking at the matter tp this way and It
is a phase of the situation which has been
discussed by some of the leaders in con
gress there is a fair chance that something
will be realized for the army and navy
during the coming session. In fact, the
chances are better than they have been, all
on account of, although Indirectly due to,
the coming democratic bouse. The legis
lation must be of the simple order, how
ever, and with no complexities which are
likely to arouse debate or other time-consuming)
deterrents. Of course, the method
ot doing business In the house will have to
be changed, but this can easily be accom
plished if It Is decided to do anything out
ef tho routine during the coming session.
When the quartermaster general ot tha
army returns to Washington, which will be
In the course of the next three weeks, be
will take up the question of Increase ot
his corps along the lines recommended In
his annual report, the text of which was
recently given out at the War department.
General Aleshlre will find that the proposi
tion to increase the quartermaster's de
partment does not meet with the approval
of the secretary of war and the general
staff. This la for the reason that the
administration Is committed to the to
called "extra officers' bill" as the most
Important of all army legislation which is
before congress. The Influence of the War
department, therefore, will he concen
trated on that measure, whether or not it
shall appear that the chances are alto
gether against Ita enactment at the com
ing session. - The changes which are con
templated in the bill and which have been
fully described In these columns, may
strengthen It In some particular. It Is
certain, for instance, that the Increase In
the number of officers available for duty
with the militia Is bound to enlist some
support In that quarter. General Aleshlre
may perhaps proceed on his own respon
sibility and seek, unless it should meet
with departmental disapproval. Independ
ent congressional action In behalf of his
corps. An alternative plan In to have the
quartermaster Increase Incorporated In the
extra officers' bill. It Is recognised that
the quartermasters have many friends in
congress and the legislation desired by
them, were It added to the extra officers'
bill. It represented as contributing to the
chances ef the enactment of the general
measure. On the other hand, there are
those who believe it matters very little
what Is added to, or taken from, .the legis
lation, since the chances are altogether
against congressional action on either
army ot navy personnel legislation beyond
what may be Included In the regular ap
propriation bill.
The military author! ties are much In
terested in the draft of a bill, which has
readied the War department and which
is likely to be promptly lntroduoed at the
coming session of congress, sines It has
the formal approval of the National Guard
association. The bill proposes to provide
compensation to officers and enlisted men
ot tha militia for duties performed other
than at enoamsments or in case ot riot.
Insurrection or Invasion. All officers be
low grade of general officers, including
officers ot tha medical corps serving with
troops, are to receive U per cent of the
annual rate of pay of officers ef like
grade ef the regular army and an addi
tional i par sent to the commanding of
ficers of companies, troops and batteries.
It Is required that each offloer shall bave
performed at least 71 per cent of the duties
prescribed for him. The enlisted men are
to receive tt per cent of the pay of the
enlisted force of the regular army In cor.
responding positions for attendance upon
forty-eight drills or .equivalent military
duty, or a proportionate amount for at
tendance at drills not less than twenty,
and no compensation for less than twenty
such drills. It Is estimated that the addi
tional cost per annum for this pay ot tha
militia will be S5.oes.OOU, bringing the total
militia asprsprlaUon up to 10,000,000, The
national guard authorities have sent the
draft of the hill and circular letters to all
members of the militia, with the follow
ing reminder: "It is Incumbent upon every
national guardsman to see his member ot
congress from hla district and urge upon
him the neceealty for supporting thla bill.
Do not be afraid to say that almost every
congressional district In the United State
will receive a portion of this amount."
There may . be some hesitation on the part
ef tha administration to indorse this prop
osition at this time; hut, apparently, that
aid to the proposed legislation Is not ex
pectedas It evidently may not be re
quiredby those who are Interested in the
bill. If the leglstlation Is enacted, It will
be one of those measures for military de
fense with which the War department ha

COLONKL DHYAN'S SEW ROI.K.
"There Is a Pensive Joy In Harking
an Elder."
ft Louis Times.
Colonel Bryan is to make a speeeh la St.
Louis in the near future, If present plans
can be put Into effect. But this time he
Is to talk as an "elder."
There Is a gratifying note In the announce
ment. The eminent Nebraskan Is, we feel
sure, well qualified for the new service
which be is to render. In order to be an
elder, we assume, one should have learned
the lesson of humility, the mutability of
fame, the many-pathed journey which mor
tals must take before they arrive at the
one trua shrine of knowledge and rest.
Tho announcement Is also pregnant with
the lesson that time files. It Is hard to
realise that one who was a boy orator only
yesterday should have arrived at the rank
and condition of elderahip today.
There is always a strain to sadness In
tho contemplation of the boy orator. One
knows that he must still learn that th
cheering of a crowd la as dead sea fruit,
which bears rosy aspects to the eye, but
turns to ashes in the final test. Colonel
Bryan Is not the only Individual In eon
temporary history who has turned a blank
face to the facts when the contrast between
yelling and genuine support has had to be
weighted.
on the other hand, there Is a pensive
joy in harkening to an elder, who has shad
his illusions, but who bringa to his public
a steadfast belief In the abiding goodness
ef those who do not yell readily, but who
have learned the lesson of listening with
complacency and patience.
TARIFF FOR rlETEITTJC.

Taking no account ef the new leadership,
Mr. Champ Clark proposes to go in at once
and commit dtraocracy to tariff for rev
enue only. That being the American def
Inltion of free trade, the republicans boob
will have a chance to drown their trou
bles In laughter. The late unpleasantness
will be a a sideshow compared wit It tha
democratic shindy. Any fears republicans
may have as to Itll will vanish immed
iately Mr, Clark Introduces the bill he has
in contemplation. Th divided, republican
ranks will close with a snap, and Mr.
Clark will have dans what the peace
makers found impracticable,
And what will th effect be en th east
ern democracy, under th lead ef Woodrew
Wilson. John A. Dlx, Simeon Baldwin
and Eugene Fobs? Could any of them
have been elected last Tuesday en a free
trade platform? No; nor can th result
In Missouri, Mr. Clark's own stata, he

dorsement on the tariff doctrine m advo
cated. In th recent campaign. Mr. Clark
may have his Missouri party oollaagu
with him on the tariff, but b cannot avow
that a majority of tbo voter of the state
want low tariff. Mr. Clark failed to keep
