Omaha's aviation meet may have produced no "thrillers," but, at any rate, had the good fortune to send all the aviators away with uccracked bones and whole Bktns. No labor trouble Is likely to ensue on the Panama canal as long as the men are getting more pay and living more comfortably than they could In the United States. The wan street journal says Bourke Cochran reverses himself so out at the hinges. He has been creak- out atthe binges. He has been creak Ing for a long time The only candidate for state office who ran exclusively as a populist in the late Nebraska free-for-all says he didn't pay a cent for the privilege. The votes he got, then, were the very chtauebl that wre poll Wilson and Harmon. Already early Indications point to a spirited contest between Governor Harmon of Ohio and Governor-Elect Wilson of New Jersey for the demo cratic presidential nomination In 1912. Friends of both men are laying plans and the next two years are likely to be full of activity on both sides. Bar ring new entries and unforeseen condi tions, one of these men will, In all probability, get the nomination. In the old days before the ascend ancy of Bryan and his wing of the party, the democrats of the south and east generally stood together as against the west and evidences now point to a return to this alignment. Dr. Wilson is a native of the south and while be was educated there, most of his mature life has been spent In the east. He as nearly typifies the con servative democracy of the east and south as any other man and, having been a close personal friend of G rover Cleveland and Intimately associated with the Cleveland democrats, he would very naturally attract all these old forces to his side. The south. In Its tealoui determination to send an other man to the White House, al ready baa begun to manifest its anx iety In behalf of Dr. Wilson. But Wilson's strength, as conditions now stand, might extend Into the west and probably attract Bryan and bis following In preference to Harmon. The Bryan faction, while preferring man like Folk, could scarcely be re lied on to support Governor Harmon, no matter who might be his opponent. Furthermore, if HearBt and John R. McLean Join the Harmon party, as they now promise to do, or In fact have done, that would still further alienate Bryan and his Influence from the Ohio man and throw them to Wil son If compelled to choose between these two. Hearst's ardent support of Harmon would morever have a tend ency to repress any Inclinations of Tammany In that direction. Both Wilson and Harmon have dis played remarkable strength In their recent elections and relying upon them to make no egregious blunders in the next two years, they would seem to have a fairly good lead In the race for the democratic nomination, though It Is Improbable that Folk or another man of his school will not at least qualify as an entry. If the rumor of a precon ceived plot to wipe Bryan off the map be true, it might hurt Quite as much as help the Harmon cause, to have It disclosed this far in advance. Traffio ia Impure Food. If charges as to traffic in impure food articles made by the New York World are correct a deplorable situ ation exists in that city, involving not only dealers in these commodities, but city officials whose business it is to protect the public from Just such out rages. The World recently submitted a report of its private investigations to the health -commissioner with a de mand that he discharge certain sub ordinates. In the course of Its report the newspaper said: 1. That an enormous business In purchase and sale of putrid and decomposing egg known In the Jargon of the trade as "rota and spot," exists in New Tork City. 2. That these eggs ar disposed of to baker and cake manufacturer, who use them In the manufacture of apong-e cake, pound cake, lady fingers, and other cake stuff that are yellow-hued and made prln clpally of egg. I. That this trad has been carried on for year under the tacit permission. If not the active assistance, of the men Intrusted by the city with the Inspection and car of food for the city. ' In addition to these discoveries it is disclosed that candy is sold to chil dren that has to be subjected to sul phurous acid processes before it can be placed on the market. These dis closures in the midst of state and na tlonal crusades for pure food are ap palling, not only as showing the crimi nal rapacity of some merchants, but the ruthless indifference of themselves and their official confederates to law and what law is attempting to do for the protection of life and health. If there is an adequate punishment that could be meted out to the men respon sible for this traffic, whose effects can not be confined to one city or one state very long, it should be inflicted with all possible dispatch. Thrilli and Ghouli. The fatal flight of Aviator Johnstone at Denver could scarcely have been more thrilling than the description of it sent out from the breesy Colo rado metropolis. It was a typi cal "Denver thriller," accentuated at every angle by human inter est features of the most appealing character. For Instance the intrepid aviator had full warning of his fate when a dog, the day before, stood in front of his aeroplane and barked frantically and as the machine "swept down the track heedless of the dog's sppeal, one wing swept above the dog, which pursued it until it was swallowed up in the air." On that flight John stone's machine broke a wing tip, the very one whose breaking caused his death. Still he heeded not the barking of the dog. When Johnstone's machine crashed to the ground with his broken body pinned beneath it, ghouls rushed in and as if unmindful of the fatality, fought for pieces of the machine and the man's clothing as souvenirs. One monster even seized a stick that had bten thrust into the body of the avi ator and ran with it, still dripping the victim's blood. When the body was borne out of the grounds the band, Ignorant of the tragedy, played "A Grixtiy Bear." Surely all these circumstances com bined uuet have satisfied the Deuver mania for thrills. The setting could not party lines had been broken down and ; have own more grimly effective. Of. that nonpnrtUanship was In the air. ( course, it Is Just bsrely possible thathvby not display a little of that non-j the painter of this spectacular picture ; Partisanship In the make-up of the was affected by the scenery. Hut he i official roster and employes' pay to scarcely would have dared to charge of the legislature? j Innocent people with the work of ghouls. In the name of humanity some body should have exerted an effort at repressing such morbid curiosity and heartless disregard of death. It appears that Johnstone let his world's championship honors for high flying embolden him too much. He had; played tricks with the air In lower al titudes, and though be appreciated the hazard In the rare atmosphere of the mountain country, ho yielded to that Impulse that must come to men who have dared gamble with death to the extent that he did and lost. It will be a lesson to other aviators to ap proach the air problem according to altitudes. Almost the Irony of Fate. When Nebraska's last democratic legislature was In session the larger part of the law-makers' time was de voted to concocting and enacting measures creating new offices for the governor to fill and transferring to the governor patronage previously vested in other officers. The moving inspira tion for this performance was the fact that the democrats had managed in the preceding election to win out with their candidate for governor, while losing out with their candidates for other state offices. Almost the first of these measures of political reprisal was a law taking away from the republican secretary of Btate the right to deslgnste the news papers In which publication of the pro posed constitutional amendment should be made and vesting in the democratic governor the distribution of this pie to make sure that none but good democratic organs should share in it. The outcome of the election this year has proven to be almost the irony of fate. The governorship has been regained by the republicans by a de cisive majority, and while the rest of the state ticket for a while trembled In the balance, it was plainly seen as the returns came in that if the demo crats were to capture any of these offices it would be that of secretary of state, on which the margin was un comfortably close. Had it turned out that the republicans had exchanged the secretary of state for the governor it would have been democratic chick ens come home to roost. The patron age which the democrats had been so careful to take away from that office to keep it from republican hands would, in fact, have been taken away from the only office under democratic control and restored to the repub licans. All of which goes to show that there Is nothing certain in love, war or poli tics and that laws made to meet a par tlcular exigency are likely to operate Just the other way by the time the pendulum makes Its swing. By the census of 1890 Memphis had a population of 102,220 and Omaha had a population of 102, 655. By the census of 1910 Memphis has a popula tlon of 131,105 and Omaha has a pop ulatlon of 124,096, which means that Memphis on the face of the returns has caught up with and passed Omaha. We are not advised whether Memphis has taken in any additional territory during the census decade, but we do know that Omaha has lost population to its adjoining suburbs through the expansion of its business district, driv ing people out of downtown reel dences. Omaha and South Omaba, moreover, are really one community and, taken together, would give us a lead of 20,000 over Memphis. , We stake our reputation on this predlc tlon: In the census of 1920 Omaha will be away ahead of Memphis. The expense statements filed by candidates in the late election in pre tended compliance with the corrupt practices act show on their face bow little that law is regarded by those subject to its provisions. The candi date polling the highest preferential vote for United States senator, for ex ample, takes oath that he spent for this purpose Just $648.50, when it is a notorious fact that he sent out per sonal letters over his own rubber stamped signature for which the post age bill alone would exceed $1,000. A little thing like a perjured expense affidavit, however, does not bother the average office-seeker. Our amiable democratic contem porary, the World-Herald, is cele brating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Junior member of that hvnhen- Lted newspaper combination and we extend our congratulations. The wel coming of this twenty-fifth anniversary is evidently such a big feat, and Omaha has become such a big city, that it is celebrating on the install ment plan. The prosperity manifested by the World-Herald in these later years is the convincing disproof of its constant and continuous arraignment of republican policies which have en abled it to attain this prosperity. The retirement of President Hara han pares the way for a complete ren ovation in the system of Illinois Cen tral officials. Most of the executives under him are comparatively new men. The democrats are ready to organ ice the two houses of the Nebraska legislature and set up the legislative pie counter for democrats only. Dur- jiag the campaign wa were told that That pipe-dream about Hitchcock, Hearst et al. combining to oust Mr. Brysn from the leadership of the dem ocratic party should be revised to say "to keep Mr. Bryan ousted from that leadership." As things stand he is ,bout 89 completely de-Ieaderlzed as ne couia De. iiarmon ana nis irienaB had better direct their attention to a certain man Just elected governor of New Jersey.

The farmers do not wear top boots with trousers tucked In, and they are Just as likely to go smooth-shaven as a New Tork coroner or anybody else. Many of them own automobiles, and all of them read the monthly magaslne. POLITICAL DELFT. Thirteen candidates for one United States senatorshlp have been counted In Ohio and the returns are not all In. Montana's legislature is so closely divided politically that Helena Is Justified In an ticipating a proaperou winter. A defeated candidate for congress In Massachusetts avers that he expended nothing but hot air. The voters recipro cated. One of the voting machines In Muncie, Ind., overreached Its Ingenuity In adding 100 vote to the total of a favorite candi date and was caught with the goods, Governor-elect Baldwin of Connecticut drew the line at 11,000, one year' salary, contributed for campaign expenses, while Foss of Massachusetts blew in $17,000 for . , .. his Job. At the age of 87 Henry Gassaway Davis is a candidate for United States senator In West Virginia.

Unforgiving' democrat threaten to shake up the ghost of the mur dered Goebel and compel the Kentucklaa accused of th crime, tried three times and pardoned, to cool his heels In the ad jacent corridors. An intimation from Governor-elect Wil son of New Jersey that he will scrape off all the barnacle on the ship of state caused momentary Joy in the democratic camp. But when he added that no other barnacles would have a show, the gloom and hunger of fourteen long weary years settled down on the same old spot for an indefinite stay.

In Other Lands Side XdirMa on What Is Transpiring- Anions; the Rear and Far Kauons of the Xarth Political events are moving rapidly In Oreat Krltaln. The failure of the con- ; stltutionnl conference, timed with the open- i Ing of Parliament, transformed the placid I stream of politics Into a turbulent whirl- pool. Instantly the party leaders buckled j on their campaign armor and sounded the j htmles fur the charge. The date of the i election Is not settled, but all indications I point to the earliest dale the legal for malities ran be disposed of. The fire of th.e Is the formality of rejection by the House of Lords of the veto resolutions iased by the House of Commons last April. These resolution embody the Issue upon which an appeal to the country Is to be made, and are three In number. The flr?t declared the expediency of disabling the House of Lords by law from rejecting a money bill and left it to the speaker to decide whither any given measure came within the definition. The second resolu tion restricted the powers of the House of i Louis as rejects bills other than money bills, "so that any such bill which has passed the House of Commons In three suc cessive sessions and having been sent up to the House of Lords at least one month before the end of the session shall become a law without the consent of the House of Lords on the royal ansent being declared, provided that at least two years shall have elapsed between tho date ofgthe first In troduction of the bill In the House of Com mons and the date on which It passes the House of Commons for the last time." The third and final resolution limited the duration of Parliament to five years. Thus is shaped up the British system of heredi tary privilege, entrenched In the House of Ixrds and Invariably controlled and ex ercised by the conservative party to the advantage of that party. That .the conservative leaders will attempt to dodge the supreme Issue and wane a campaign agnlnst home rule for Ireland Is already apparent. Tory party organs and orators are united in a chorus of accusa tions, charging the Irish party with a cata logue of crimes and villainies as numerous ns those which interested and amused the American electorate a few weeks ago. An Impressive outburst was timed with the home coming of John E. rtedmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, and his three associates from the t'nlted States. Mr. Redmond Is charged with bringing in a barrel of American dollars to currupt the stainless electors of England, wreck the British constitution, conspire with the Ger man invaders, and raise Old Ned from Land's End to Cape Wrath. This cam paign cry will have considerable weight in spots, especially among those easily misled by racial animosities. But the electorate has progressed and expanded since Glad stone's downfall on this Issue. Legislation as vital to Scotland and Wales as homerule Is to Ireland awaits a breach in the partisan veto of the peers. Besides the successful launching of home rule in the colonies of South Africa affords an object lesson that must have great influence among voters who do their own thinking. The contest will be short, sharp and probably decisive, and well worth watching from start to finish. President Braga of the Infant republic of Portugal is usually classed as "a philosopher, a poet and a man of letters." Still another plume, that of an Intermina ble talker, is awarded liim by the Lisbon correspondent of the New York Evening Post. The correspondent fills three col umns of valuable space In telling: of an interview had with the president, which lasted three hours, and did not develop ideas of sufficient worth to be distin guished by quotation marks. The presi dent Is described as a medium sized man of slight build, and between 60 and 70 years of age. "The yellow face 'was very much wrinkled when this revolution started, and It is getting more and more wrinkled every day, owing- to the fresh perplexities that each hour brings, owing to the strangeness of the position in which the alleged president finds himself. The ott brown Portuguese eye, such eyes as Irt on T i nH ... V 1 In an Indian or Chinese setting, I have often seen In Gou and Macao, express dreaminess, enthusiasm, good nature, but it is easy to sen that they look out on a world of which they know nothing. They are the eye of a gentle recluse, a devoted scholar, a tenth-rate poet, An absent minded professor, an innocent old man who really ahould be pottering about, an unconscious pensioner of the state." The reforms he dreams of include republics in all Latin countries, abolition of mili tarism, capitalism, poverty "a regener ated world in which there will be no priest, no religion, no funeral service, no baptism, no prisons, no soldiers, no police men, no kings." "Of course," says the correspondent in conclusion, "it does not matter in the least what he says. He lias no more Influence over the course of events than the weathercock on the Neces sidades Palace. A pathetic figurehead, he is not even consulted by the Bee ret society wh'leh now rules the country." A trade union idea radically opposed to the prevailing usage comes in a report from England. A wage dlsput between the associated brass manufacturers and their employes has been settled on the basis of classifying workmen according to capacity and Industry, and grading wages accord ingly. On this basis wages rise as ca pacity and efficiency increase. Th dead and deadening level of an equal wag to all regardless of qualifications, th max lmum of wag 'going to the minimum of work. Is practically abandoned in this case. Defending bomb outrage In strikes, a socialist member of the French Chamber of Deputies has recently made a debat notable by an extraordinary argument. He appealed directly to the minister of war, asking "It in the case or Invasion by a foreign enemy h would not blow up bridges and tunnels in order to check that enemy's advance. The strikers, he main talned, were engaged in a social war and had the same excuse for destroying the national property as General L Brun would have in war time. Th Austrian ministry of commerce re ports a steady decrease la the number of strikes in that country. Th total last year wa 6W, against 721 In 190s and this notwithstanding widespread complaint there as her over lb hlKb cost of living. Of th strikes for higher wages seventy-one succeeded, 171 partially succeeded and 1M failed, ritrikea for union recognition were more generally successful. When th polios, by hous to house visits, notified th peopl of Pekln that Chins was to hav a parliament In ISI13, they I merely celabralad th event by displaying i dragon banners and paper banners, resarv j ing th naUv tock of flreorackers for shipment to the United State for Fourth of July purposes.

Centrnl City Nonpareil: Th overwhelm- Ing majority for Aldrlch Is not necessarily j a compliment to the republican candidate j ror governor, but It Is a cruslurg rcbuae to the element that thought it could cor rupt Nebraska with beer, money and an offer of Immunity from th tew. There are still too many Rood cltlsens In this etnte for such a campaign to be effective It ha been rather a tempestuous experi ence, but It ha been a profitable one after all, for It has demonstrated that Nebraska has a conscience and that It is in working order. Geneva Signal: Whatever the brewers and saloon keepers get as the result of this election they had It coming. Always and everywhere they ar arrogant, selfish and tyrannical. Not content with ntti"int their own business, they want to run th politics of the city, count),, -.u .. tlon. It 1 always rule or ruin with them and party lines ar never observed unless it is that they may prove useful In herding hide-bound voters who worship a party name. When they captured the democratic party In August they did not foresee the stampede that came to a head election day. Beatrice Express: Th republicans of Ne braska, while they will regret the loss of Senator Kurkctt. still have much to be thankful for, considering the results In other states. Th feeling is somewhat like that a man experiences when he flings out after reaching safety that he hud been walking on th xlge of a preclplct w Imf-e existence he wa unaware. The overwhelm ing democratic vlctorte in many other states where Uia republicans had been ab solutely confident of success, shows Ne braska republicans bow it might have been much worse here. While republican state." to the east of us are losing congressman after congrefsman and many of them lo.-unfc the state offioes, Nebraska retains Its foi -mer representation In the lower house and redeems the state from a democratic ad ministration to a republican one. Kiemont Tribune: The election seems to have emphasised the Idea that there are two kinds of cltlsens in Nebraska Omahnns and others. That that city should have given the liquor candidate a vote of two to one, while the balance of the state voted nearly 40,000 tha other way shows a pretty distinct line of cleavage between th two. Omaha was willing and anxious to elevate the mayor to the governorship. This anxiety was in no wise diminished by knowledge of the character of the forces behind him nor of the characteristic campaign he made. The citiiens elsewhert had a perspective view of the situation and they were the better Judges. They de manded higher ideals In the executive cer tainly different Ideals. They were not con tent to hay the barroom vernacular made the "court language" for Nebraska. West Point Republican: Th tremendous majority of Aldrlch for governor amply verifies the prediction of this paper thai Dahlman would be th worst beaten man for that high office In recent years. The reason for It is plain. The people simply wouldn't stand tor that kind of a man. The llepubllcan believes that a man can take a drink and be resectable, but It is quite another thing to boast of that ac complishment In a gubernatorial race and give constant proof of such ability upon the stump. Had Mr. Dahlman remained at home h might hav had some show oi election, but wherever he went and made his rattle headed "booze" talk, he thor oughly discredited himself and was a positive detriment to the very causa he had espoused and wa endeavoring to advance. Besides, he represents a state of society that has long since beoome obsolete In Ne braska. Grand Island Independent: It is probably a combination of circumstance that has led the people of Nebraska to prefer Con gressman Hitchcock to Senator Burkett. Th charges brought by Edgar Howard have evidently not seriously affected the vote, despite the fact that the evidence submitted warranted him In making- the facts known to the people. There is no way of ascertaining whether Hitchcock's- vote would have been large, the same, or smaller but for these charges and the man ner in which they were kept up for the last four weeks In the campaign. One can only conclude on general principles that It would have been larger but for these charges. The fact that Mr. Bryan's ef fort and influence were thrown to Hitch cock and away from Dahlman and that he was followed by th entire populist organ! cation must, of course, have been a consid erable factor In th campaign. St. Paul Republican: While the Repub lican deplores th defeat of Senator Bur kett, and blushes to think that Hitchcock a man who was backed by the very identi cal Influences which were backing; Dahl man In the last campaign, a man whose hands ar unclean from pollution with a treasurer mlxup. In which h does not deny his guilt, is to represent this state in th senate, at th same tini w believe that the defeat of Burkett 1 very largely his own fault Had h asserted himself against the tide of Lancaster county, in which the professional agitators of the state would not hav controlled th mak ing of the state platform, so that the fight would hav been carried on sane Unas, and not' at th beck and call of th Frank Harrisons, th McBrlen and Darnells, and th Paulsen, th result on th slat ticket would hav been different. A It wa it raised a hue and cry about Dahlman, and th democrat who had a conscientious streak In him voted for Aldrlch and thn felt h had don his whole duty, Jumped back to his ticket, voted for the brewery Hitchcock and th entire democratio ticket.
