Oklahoma doubtless looks forward to 1911 as the greatest year of its young life, for on January 1 next It geta a hew governor. Ohio probably would not consider that it was being unfairly dlscrlml nated against if the nominee in 1912 were Taft and Harmon.

Playing politics la not otio of the Taft pollclea, but any democrat who cannot aeo the folly of urslnn an extra aeialon must be obtuae. A the 1'ont gaya, they have nothlns whatever to gain by one, but everything to loae. If they will devote the time between the cloae of the next regular aeaalon, March 4, and the opening of the alxty- econd congrea In December. 1911, to careful atudy of condltlona with a view of giving their country their very beat service, they will have their hands full and will be doing much better by themgelvea, their party and nation than by trying to play politics at this time. Need of Waterwayi. The need for navigable waterways In this country Is apparent. The enor mous lniTBsao In railroad traffic Is now overtaxing the facilities of rail transportation to such an extent that many railway magnates themselves advocate river navigation as the only solution of the problem. It is, there fore, a matter of regrwt that the pro ponents of waterways have not as yet come to a decisive .understanding among themselves as to Just what is tbo best plan to adopt for river Im provement. Little actual headway can be made until they are a unit oif one proposition. Laying the blame for a lack of progress on each other and those la official positions will not do tho work. Tho charge of President W. K. Kav- anaugh of the Qulf Deep Waterways association that President Taft has, by Indirection, obstructed, legislation looking to navigation will strike many people as rather reraarkablo In view of tho active assistance the president hss given this movement. What he Is on record as opposing Is tho piece meal or pork barrel method of appro priations for these purposes, and he ought to oppose that. Tho regretta ble fact Is that thla system of legisla tion made as much headway as it did. The president's idea for definite ap propriations large enough to do some real good squares with common sense and tho best expert opinion. In tho very meeting where Mr. Kav anaugh makes his criticisms is dls closed tho fact that scarcely two waterways advocates agree as to tho depth and other essential details of navigation. It would seem but fair to ask for more harmonious action among them before going outside their or ganisation for someone on whom to lay tho burden of blame. We should have tho deep waterways, and have them with the least expense and delay possible, for they are needed as means of freight transportation, and badly needed. Book Men and School Ken. The Nebraska State Teachers' asso ciation seems to have had this year a really interesting and exciting session, out of which has come tho proclama tlon that the school book men will no longer bo permitted to run things and that the school men will henceforth manage their own affairs. Thla consummation Is devoutedly to bo hoped and wo wish wo could count on it being true, but we regret to bo compelled to say that we still have soma misgivings. The school book men are a shrewd and oily lot who are oa tho job all the time, while the school men and school teachers get together only periodically without tho parliamentary practice acquired in the costly ochool of experience. As a rule the school book men have been content to do their work under cover through school teachers and superin tendents who get their reward from time to time ln salary raises and promotions helped along by tho school book men in tbelr own peculiar wsy. Tho school book men have ordinarily found It safer, and equally effective, to stay In the background and let the favored school men go to tho front, and wo are surprised that they have felt so strong here ln Nebraska as to expose themselves to tho fury of tho storm, such as they Invited at tbo re cent meeting. In all this wo simply want to cau tion the school men and school teach ers of the state that one sklrmlsn does not end a wsr and that tho school book men have staying lowers, ref aoimvftiint h ami s.-r.t wire Unit l ,hpm 'rmarhablo rerupr-ratlvo pr" Our Faufic Const Commerce.

Mr.' Hill and Mr. Ilarrlman Rot tired running their gigantic nhlp:i when they found It Impossible to run lliom nt a profit One of the Hill ves sels lies today In the hnrbor of Yoka hnma a wasted wreck, because Mr. Hill does not think It worth while to tow It home. W hen the Hill and llar rltiiaii enterprises failed It was due. they contended, to their Inability to obtain land and water rates that would enable them to compete with the Sue canal ships ou the Atlantic and the Japanese vessels on the Pacific. Could they have arranged for such a rate they might have overcome the other obstacles that confronted them, such as the cheap labor on the Japanese vessels, their long working hours and less expensive living. Where the American workman under union regu lations puts lu eight hours a day at a high wage, the Jap will work an In definite period for half the sum and live on cheaper food. Then he gives his employer no trouble In the form of strikes, which are exceedingly costly affairs aboard a ship. The Japanese ship, Itself, is a cheap affair as com pared with the American vessel, cost ing nowhere near as much for main tenance and operation, even aside from the labor. hen all these elements are con sidered, we may see how essential It will be to have favorable rates before ever Pacific coast commerce can be placed extensively in American hands. Dut it la Important that It should be placed there and that, too, without any greater delay than necessary Why and Wherefore? Our amiable democratic content porary, tbo World-Herald, volunteer! the unsolicited advice to Governor- elect Aldrlch to abolish tho staff en tourage of gold-laced colonels who are always more ornamental than useful. Hut why it should have waited until this time to spring this proposition Is not clear. Why not have urged it upon Governor Bhallenberger when he was passing military titles out so lav ishly among democratic favorites? Or, g this an act of spite and revenge to get even with Governor Shallen berger'i colonels who would have no way of unloading their expensive uni forms on retirement to private life) unless to dispose of them to their suc cessors appointed by Governor Al drlch? With all thla agitation for di versified crops, why should Nebraska abandon Its crop of gold-laced colonels? According to the Commoner, while It lo uncertain whether tho coming Nebraska legislature is wet or dry, tho adoption of the luttiative and refer endum will give tho people another ' tng v,aenoe nt them having been se . . . i cured they "laid down."

City council financiers are lament ing that the charter limit on the city tax levy must remain unchanged for the coming year. These financiers have overlooked the fact that the city Is enjoying constantly Increasing sources of revenue in other directions, ' them Is an Invitation to other men to com such as franchise royalties, occupation ! tln- run up rrices, fleece th public and taxes and permit fees. The pressure on the taxpayers ought to be at least measureably relieved by the tapping of all these other sources of supply for the city. The Nebraska deposit guarsnty law case has been advanced by tho United States supreme court, presumably to ( enable Attorney General Mullen to ap-j pear officially before that tribunal be- fore his lease of office runs out. If Attorner C.eneral Mullen does not wake up that sleepy old court and raise the roof of that venerable court room he will not live up to his repu tation. Official figures give a safe, although small, majority to the low man oa tho republican state ticket. It should bo remembered, however, thst It wss tho compulsory use of the voting machine that brought tho whole democratic ticket up 2,000 or 3,000 votes here in Douglas county, and but for that there would not have been oven a close race.

Changes la Nrw Mruate. Nw York Tribune. Death haa been busy this year In the United States senate. Since th adjourn ment of congress four seats have been made vacant. John W. Daniel of Virginia, and Samuel D. McKnery of Ixiulslana, died early In the summer within a few days of each other, and Jonathan P. Dolllver of Iowa and Alexander S. Clay of Georgia hav been stricken down within th last month. These fatuities, added to the fatalities of politics, will make a startling difference In th composition of th senate which Is to com Into existence on March 4 next. That body will not only b com mitted to new leaders, but will be Itself mora distinctly mad over than any aenate fir twenty years. CHAIRMAN KSAPP'I SPEECH.

Th remarks of Chairman Knapp of th Interstate Commerce commission at the dinner of th Railway Iruslness Associa tion war altogether out of place. His lack of judgment and discretion refleots seriously upon hla fitness for th position that h oeouplas. What would bs thought of a judge who left th court room to tell th defendants over a publlo dinner table that th law under which they were on trial before him waa of doubtful force and expediency? His Impeachment and removal would be Im mediately called for. Chairman Knapp la sitting In th freight rate hearings at Washington In a quasi offlolal capacity. For him to discuss mat ten bearing on the case before him at a banquet waa unseemly and highly Improper. Mr. Taft should Inform him plainly as to the nature of his duties. JAIL SENTENCES DEMANDED. An Impreaalv Demonstration of 'Mistaken Leniency." Chicago Tribune. Some window glasa manufacturers formed a combine, ran up prloes TO per cent and In ten months cleared about $1,000,000. A part of th proceeds of their raid on con sumers went to employes In th shape of a 124 per cent advance In wages. Convlno- wun .tw line a pnirui iracuon or me money of which they had robbed th com munity. These men, having had to abandon on method of making exceaslv profits, hav resorted to another. They hava cut down wagea SO per cent. Thla, too, In aplte of th fact that their Industry 1 and always has been the beneficiary ot unstinted pro tection. Th Department of Justic calls the ac tion of the judge in letting th men off with fines "mistaken leniency." That la too mild a phrase.

Mclean, many times a millionaire. Is there an honest democrat In the nation who can safuly say that John It. Mclean haa even a speaking acquaintance with demo cratic principles? Can any democrat hope that jiurh a corporallonlst would sit In the senate and ever throw one vote against AldrlchlsmT In Montana the most prominent aspirant for th new senatorial toga la none other than Millionaire Clark, who has a reputa tion for buylnir legislatures and all other ohslncle which may atand In the path of his ambition. How can any real democrat hope to see Millionaire Clark line up against Milllonalr Aldrlch? In New Jeraey Uie common democrats are hoping to send gome decent democrat Around !?ew York mipplsa on th Current of It t as la th arat Amrloan Metropolis from Say to Day. Statistic gathered from various eourcos by the New York Medical Journal show that infantile spinal paralysis has attacked no less than 20,000 persons In the L'nlted Stales during the several epidemics of the past few yeara. Although the mortality seldom exceeds 10 per cent, the little vic tims are cr-ppled for life. Dr. Simon Flex ner, head of th Rockefeller Institute, who has been studying the disease, la author ity for the statement that no means to ameliorate Its results or prevent Its de velopment Is yet shown. "Those of us who have had to deal with this malady or who have studied Its unchecked progress," he says, "have come to realise how hopeless w are. We know It to b epidemic We believe It to be contagious or at least highly communloabl. Wo hav learned that there ar abortive forms without paralysis. Its age Incidence and seasonable occurrenca ar known to ua. W are ac quainted with Its terribl results. Nothing more. "All efforts to discover th Infectious agent microscopically ar fruitless, al though It can b aa easily handled and controlled as ordinary bacteria. Inaamuch as no on has as yet suoceeded in seeing It, and as It Is filterable through substances Impervious to baotarla. It Is thought to be too minute to Intercept those rays of light visible to tho human eye. Poaalbly by means of ultra-violet rays It may be photo graphed. "There Is so little knowrrt about th mean of transmission of th disease that all possible measures of Isolation should be adopted both In sporadlo cases and in epidemics." In reply to a rcent alarming prophcy by Georg W. Babb, president of th New Tork Board of Fir Underwriters, that It waa only a matter of time when the sky scraper district of New York would be destroyed by fire. Architect Fltspatrlck, ex ecutiv officer of th Internatlonl Building Inspector' society and on of th highest authorities on fireproof construction, said that while such a thing Is not beyond th realm of possibility It would be highly Im probable under present conditions, and could, at further alight cxpenae, be made an utter Impossibility. "The skysoraper district of New York cannot be compared to anything that was at BaKlmor ot In fian Francisco," he said. "In both conflagrations th tall buildings suffered by reason ot th vast amount of poor buildings all around them. Fir found comparatively little to burn within them, and ln many cases, though damaged themselves, they served as a pro tection to mors combustible buildings. "In Baltimore a soon aa the fir reached th skyscraper district, small aa It was. It burnt Itself out and they actually saved the City beyond them, stopping th fir much as a dike does the Inrush of flood tide. "In New York, th downtown district Is Immeasurably better built generally than Is that of any other city. There are more tall buildings, and these, serving almost exclusively as offices, contain the minimum of combustible material. "Tbelr tall steel frames, protected and Inclosed with imperishable brick and hollow tile f (reproofing, give a fir ln the con tents of th building nothing of a struc tural natur to feed upon and destroy." Many of tho horses that pull th car on th lines that still survive In New York hav a wonderful knowledge of signals snd stops. Several of th teams know Just ex actly where a stop Is to be made on th near side of th crossing snd if th driver happens to go to sleep they will stop with out any signal, then turn their haads and look at him as much as to aay: "Why don't you put on that brake." And at one of thea near aid stops no amount of persuasion by volo or whip will start them again until they bear th two rings of tho bell from th conductor. They seem to know that It I dangeroua to move until tho signal oomea. When th con ductor yanks th bell cord one these teams know what It means and com to a stop without a word from th driver. Soma of thes veterans you couldn't buy from th company, aaia a anver, "and It a driver brings one of them ln with th mark of a whip in it hid he might just as well go up, turn ln his badge and hunt a new job." Tbo walking ln on of th quiet streets In the Fifties In th block west of Fifth avenue saw tk other day a party ot girls ln an automobll which had come, judg ing by their wind-blown appearance, from one of the up-Hudsou towns. The motor car paused by the curb and the chauffeur hauled out a black lap rob and hung It on th outside of th glass storm shield, making an effective mirror. Then the girls produced their town hats from somewhere and, taking turns sitting In the from I seat, they rearranged their headgear bo for th looking glasa. They went at It as carefully and with aa much ease aa though they wer betur their own mirror a at horn. When they had all finished th car swung out on th avenue with aa proper a cargo aa anyone could wish to Bee. to l lie atnMe. lint they hara nothing better ,,,, a hope. Millionaire Pmlth ha Raid that he wants the place, and millionaires usually get what they want In New Jersey. Can any real democrat believe that the election of thie notorloua trust manipulator will promote any eentiln democratic princi ples? In New York a dmen democratic million aires are sparring fur the enatorial fight, and one of them, probably Sheehan, will be agreed uron by the Wall street Influences. Where Is the democrat with bravery to be llev. that the democrats will give the rena torshlp to Castaway Pavls, sixteen times a millionaire. Ite Is associated with many of the (;reat criminal corporations, and his election to the senate would make glad the heart cf Aldrlch and all the criminal rich who have become rich through the opera tions i.f Aldrlehl-m. Certainly no real demo crat on enrth dares hope for democratic re aults from the creation of senators out of such mntorlal as Oassaway lavls. The situation Is not pleasing. It means that. Instead of helping the Insurgent re publicans In their fight against Aldrlchlsm, every one of the prnhuble new democratic senators will be allied directly with the Aldrlchltes, What will that mean to the fortunes of the democratic party? It will mean that the people will lean to the bellof that they were never more smoothly bun coed than when they started that demo cratic landslide In those atnt-s which are now preparing to send ton millionaires to seats In the national aenate. The situation Is worthy th serious at- tentlon cf every democrat who honestly be- lieves that his party should be th cham- plon of the right of the ma-sea. rather than a plaything for the millenaries.
