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.

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.

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.
The wet republican felt that th repub
lican party had deserted thm entirely, and
that It should be punished, voted th en
tire democratic ticket, without th off
setting help of th democrats who voted
for Aldrlch. And the sam people who
have disrupted th republican hav ac
complished nothing, for th democratic
stat senat will block every county option
measure. Th who! county option fight
has fallen down, taking a senator with it,

"Vox Populi." has spoken, and we're much

Some marchers goln on too fast and Home

There's a general readjustment, though
our glories will not fade
The sands of time ure ready for the great

But we'll have to change our aces. Thus
decrees the latest news.
And everybody's trying on some other fel

It's a weird and wondrous shitting in the

Some hats have grown too small for heads
whose thoughts we still admire.
Some togs that were neatly filled hang
wrinkled now and slack.
And some of them, hIiih, ure ripped en

But the world must keep on moving and
th marches must proceed,
Though some he lame and footsore, there
are others for each need.
The trouble with a misfit Is the time It
makes you lose.
So everybody's trying on som other fel
