A Justifiable Veto,
(iovernor Aldrlch Is Justified In v
toing the so-called "non-partisan"
Judiciary bill, although some of the
reasons he sets forth seem loo far
fetched to deserve the Impor'ance i
which the governor attaches to thorn. 1
Nebraska Is In no Immediate dancr
of being made the appanage of - ny'
Mpeclal Interest, and no one sliot:! I
permit himself to be seriously wor
ried on this point. The plea for a
non-partisan Judiciary has been mad
by the democrats many times, and
always with the object of securing
some partisan advantage It Is a
gratuitous affront to the Intelligence
of the people to suggest that our
courts are swayed In their decisions
by any consideration of party advan
tage. Oovernor Aldrich forcibly calls
attention to this fact.
Experience has proven that political
organizations are very necessary to
the continuance of popular govern
ment. It Is all very well to prate
about removing this, thst or another
office from the influence of partisan
politics, but no such effort has ever
been entirely successful. Men natur
ally group themselves along common
lines of thought, and with a common
purpose in view unite to achieve its
object. With this community of
thought and purpose comes depend
ence upon the partisan endorsement
of the organization, and it is no dis
grace to any member of such a party
to rely upon Its endorsement when
seeking official preference. In small
communities where each man knows
his neighbor thoroughly it Is possible
for one to be chosen to office regard
less of party affiliations, but this rule
cannot be made to apply to a rtate
wlde situation. To deprive a candi
date of the advantages of his party's
endorsement is just as unfair as It is
to accuse him in advance of being so
morally warped and Intellectually
biased that he cannot fairly decide
questions without first considering in
what direction his partisan interest
tends. Far more danger resides 'n
the possibility of Incompetent and
Immature judges reaching the bonch
through the voter's ignorance of their
qualifications than will be fouud in
the partisan affiliations of any that
may be chosen by prevailing methods.
War that Benefits.
Reports from railroad circles tell of
a war waging between four great
railroad systems for .conquest In the
west. The Hill, Gould, Rock Island
and Harrlman systems have gone Into
a contest of building and Improving.
This Is the sort of war the country
wants and will willingly encourage,
for, while it will bring its trophies to
those in command, it will likewise
benefit others the country In gen
eral.
Undoubtedly the announcement by
the Harrlman system thst it had ap
propriated - $75,000,000 for , exten
sions to cover a period of five years
has influenced the action, of the other
transcontinental lines. Jt naturally
would. So far as that is concerned,
however, the race for supremacy In
the west has been going on for years
and It was accentuated when the
Goulds dropped their new Western
Pacific out from the terminus of the
Denver & Rio Grande to the coast.
Then Hill's determination to secure
an entrance into the Harrlman do
main and Harrlman's counter of in
vading Hill's territory became a vital
factor.
The newest development In the ton
test is the reported intention of the
Rock Island system to increase its
hold upon western business in tne
south. It has been leas aggressive in
reaching out than the others and that
It has now decided upon a new policy
Injects spirit and Interest Into the sit
uation. The country will be helped
with four transcontinental lines more
nearly equal in power and facilities
and there Is business enough to Jus
tify them. But they will become tre
mendous factors in developing the
country and creating new business.
Indeed, It would seem unreasonable
to suppose that the railroads would
heesltate to embrace such opportuni
ties aa this era of expansion offers.
With these at hand, It la no time to
talk about retrenchment On account
of liability to raise rates.
Effect of the Lorimer Case.
What most concerns the country
now in the Lorimer case is its Inevita
ble effect upon American politics. The
final revelation' that $100,000 was
contributed by special Interests for
the election of the Illinois senator
only makes more definite and em
phasises facts in general about which
most people had long ago made up
their minds. It probably will change
very few convictions. It is none the
less Important, though, as ultimate
proof.
Much as Lorlmer's expulsion from
the senate might meet the demands
of Justice and popular sentiment, even
that is of little moment as compared
with the larger influence of this ob
ject lesson. Few will attempt to say
that it will not make for fair and
purer politics, few will deny that it
will not tend to destroy the possibility
of such elections In the future, espe
cially in Illinois.
This Is a case where the power of
publicity has accompllahed wonderful
results. It has not, because of cer
tain siaieter majorities here and there,
succeeded In gaining certain apparent
victories, but It will have achieved a
victory in the long run which cannot
be measured or estimated by the
number of votes cast in a Jury room
or a senate chamber. Those who have
profited by this sort of exculpations
would be foolish to boast of their
triumphs. The side that has been
defeated In these voting contests is
the side thst has actually won. It is
the side of right. This wilj appear
more conclusively, perhaps, the next
time the people of Illinois have oc
casion to elect a senator.
University Extension.
Th tnf lllian rtn t K i a f t a, r rf
.- .v
'lilnriBH fAlfMBIUIl lit VUff aW UD IT sm V .
Lincoln on Wednesdsy Is susceptible
of only one Interpretation. The au
thor of the resolution frankly ac
knowledged during the debate that it
was not Intended as a blow at the unl-
versity, but was aimed directly at
former Superintendent Jssper L. Mc
Brien, who had been placed in charge
of the university extension work, and
wag expending the money appropriated
for the support of that work. The
charges against McBrien are that his
activities were not solely directed to
the effort of arousing greater interest
in the cause of higher education, or
securing more popular support for Ne
braska's great university, but that he
devoted his energies chiefly to the ad
vancement of partisan politics. The
charge Is well supported by evidence.
Mr. McBrien espoused the cause of a
faction and gave it his unremitting at
tention. He employed as apeakers for
his bureau political workers whose
views were in harmony with his own,
and the educational efforts of these
speakers were mainly devoted to the
promulgation of their own particular
ideas on politics. As a result the uni
versity extension work in Nebraska
became a scandal,. and the purpose for
which it was intended was forgotten
entirely In the resentment of the peo
ple aroused by the narrow efforts of
the superintendent and his assistants.
Nebraskans are proud of the Univer
sity of Nebraska and are willing at all
times that It should have the most
liberal support, but they decidedly ob
ject to having a political propaganda
carried on under the guise of "univer
sity extension."
Can the Peerless Leader Lead?
Mr. Bryan controls the house or
ganization, so he is enabled to turn
his attention entirely to the senate,
where a few recalcitrants are still
kicking against the pricks. At the very
outset he demands to know whether
he is boss or not. His candor is ad
mirable. If he is to continue as the
"peerless leader," he roust lead and if
he cannot lead with the consent of
the followers, then he must prepare to
lead without It.
The boss objects to the Job the sen
ators have begun In proposing to
make Senator Martin of Virginia their
caucus chairman. The man happens
not to belong to that coterie of demo
crats who take their orders from Mr.
Bryan. He may be good enough in
his way, but he will never do for Mr.
Btyan so long as he presumes to do
bis own thinking and his own acting.
He may possess every faculty and
qualification for a caucus chairman,
but what boots it so long as he defies
the oracle of democracy?
If Mr. Bryan will not consent to let
the forty-one members of the upper
branch of congress name their own
leader without his stamp of approval,
who is vain enough to Imagine that
he will ever think of letting the party
name its candidates for the national
ticket in 191 J' and select Its platform
without his say-so? He is the same
old Bryan, as Imperious aa ever, the
best asset for fifteen years the repub
lican party has had and we wish him
well. Democrats may mumble their
little protests to themselves, but let
them not mouth them aloud. They had
as well get ready for this man's dic
tations, for they are coming next year
Just as they have come this year and
every year since 1896 when, upon his
first defeat, many believe Bryan de
termined that he would rule or ruin
the house of democracy.
Advice Worth Heeding.
John Temple Graves, the florid orator-editor
who watches things at the
capltol for Mr. Hearst, gives the dem
ocrats a bit of advice they might well
heed. It is this: "It Is well for those
who build great hopes on this demo
cratic revival to caution moderation
In national economy. It la possible to
carry retrenchment too far."
The democrats come into power In
the house for the first time In fifteen
years, piping the slogan of "econ
omy." Already they are urging an
Investigation of the republican admin
istration to find leaks through which
vast sums of money have needlessly
filtered. They are going to pinch
down so tightly on the strong box
that not one penny will get out that la
not absolutely needed for the purpose
of running the government.
This Is fine. The common people
demand economy. They need the
money. But there Is a difference be
tween economy and parsimony. It Is
well for the watchdogs of the treas
ury to bear that In mind. It has been
a long time since the democrats were
in power and it takes a lot more
money to run the government now
than it did the last time they were
bossing the Job. We are niovipg
ahead and do not want to falter or
stop our progress. As Mr. Graves
points out, moderation In retrench
ment is necessary. Just as necessary
as it la in extension. Going to ex
tremes In one direction is no better
than another. It would be a fatal er
ror to cut off approprlatlona that
ought to be made..
The democratic party's record in
office, though, warrants no fears of
Immoderate economy. The party has
frequently shouted economy as Us
shibboleth. And that suggests an
other wise thought how many pres
idential campaigns has it won on that
issue?
The press dispatches said the Chi
cago "silk stockings" did not all go
to the polls to vote for Trof. Mertiam
for fear of getting caught In the rain.
They could not have been the kind

Washington Life
Boms lute res tlag Phases
aad Coadltloas Observed
at the Nation's Capital.
Indignation tinged with notes of grief
marred the triumphant election of Champ
f lark aa speaker of the house of repre
sentatives. The spsnMng span of Missouri
rr.ulea Intended to whirl his chariot from
one end of Pennsylvania svenue to the
other failed to arrive In time and dashed
the spectacular feature of the program.
The mules are on the way, however. Col
onel l.tike Epperson of I'lke county an-i-otinceg
that a pair of Missouri's old re
lisble motors hsve been shipped to the
nntlonsl capital. Mr. Clark has great re
aped for Colonel Epperson's word and
would not venture a contradiction even at
long range, but he Insists on being shown
the mules. As for pulling off the aban
doned scene, the sieaker Indignantly de
clines. Wlthi him it Is business before
plrssure. The dale and the hour Iihs
passed, and Washington loses a moving
picture that would decorate pages of his
tory for all time.
Mr. Clark believes thst he would have
hen a great general If he had studied
shooting Instead of speHklng. He reached
this conviction the other day. when he
d'scovered that he had an aquiline nose.
This is why It happened, and Clark tells
the story hlmeelf:
His 11-year-old boy came to him the
tther day and said:
"Pana. will 1 always have this turn-up
nose?"
Champ looked down and there, sure
enough, was the little Clark chap with
an up-llft nose. The father told the lad
that time might make some Improvement
In the organ. Then Clark's curiosity was
aroused. He wanted to know what kind of
a nose he had as a youngster. He found
that his sister had an ancient tintype of
him as a lad. On examining it Clark found
the same tilted nose that his son has. Since
that day It has charged mightily. It has
rounded out Into a fine aquiline beak.
Clark Is a handsome man.
"I think I would have made g. good gen
eral," ssys the modest Champ. "I have
the kind of nose that all great generals
had."
The right hand parliamentarian of the
speaker is Judge Charles R. Crisp of
Oeorgia "clerk at the speaker's table."
Judge Crisp has occupied thst place in tin
past and both by training and Inheritance
Is well equipped for It. His father, Charles
F. Crisp, was a member of the house for
thirteen years and was speaker of the fifty
second and fifty-third congresses. Young
Crisp became clerk at the speaker's table
while his father wielded the gavel and
served as long as the elder Crisp pre
sided over the house.
Speaker Crisp succeeded Reed, who
earned the reputation of being the czar
of the house, and on s memdrable occa
sion descended from the chair, took the
floor of the house and delivered a scath
ing denunciation, of the methods of Reed
when he held the office.
Judge Crisp, when his father died In I89.
was elected as his successor from the Third
Georgia district. He served but one term
In congress, after which he resumed the
practice of law. He is 4i years old, has a
genial temperament and a large number
of friends and la regarded as the best
equipped democrat for the place that
Champ Clark could have found.
"My boy," observed the retired senator
to the St. Louis Republic correspondent.
"Washington breaks many a man. phys
ically, morally and financially and
smashes many a home. The tragedies of
the top-strata you know about, for they
are 'copy' for your papers. But you have
no time for the smaller fry, though their
story la quite as Interesting.
"Now'a a season when the thirst for of
fice here is again spreading through the
land. You have Industriously compiled sta
tistics showing that a job-list, amounting
to tTOO.OOO annually, changes hands with
the change In the control of the house
of representatives. You have no concep
tion of the effect such a mere paragraph
may cause to the casual reader In a cross
roads store. There are no more lo.ial pai cl
eans than these. They have labored In
season and out; they have stood defest
after defeat , without flinching; they are
Intoxicated by the wine of victory; surely,
theirs Is a just claim to a share of the
rewards. Then, to them Washington Itself
Is as some far-off Klyslan place political
heaven. They pack the old valise, mort
gage the farm, and go.
"What becomes of them? My boy, do
you know Jake 1. , who runs one of the
senate elevators? Well, he was such a
one fifteen years ago. He laid around here
three years until his savings were gone.
Then Senator V took pity on him, and
got the place he now holds. Back homo
they atlll speak of Jake as 'In office down
to Washington;' they think he la in the
cabinet or something. And Jake was
lucky."
The silver-headed mace which represents
the majesty of the L'nlted States govern
ment, and which Is brought Into the house
of representatives each morning and placed
beside the speaker's desk, has been ordered
to the silversmith's for repairs. The eagle
which surmounts the sphere Is getting
wabbly on his pins.
The mace resembles the fasces carried
by the Roman victors. It la made of
ebony rods, enwrapped with silver, topped
with a spread eagle of the same metal.
The mace was made In 1840.

In the original .Vi chili bill, by the mayor
of Omaha.
I have stnlil 'on the joh' at Lincoln
tather persistently In an effort to scenic
plumage of 'he hill. and. as best 1 totilo.
I defended (he provision which j ml coin
m mle,l In ,vour editorial.
1 illoving the hcAiing hI which the niavoi
aked the committee to ehunne the in linn
ami at which I asked them nol to change
It. the hII committee ' uiciklecl and alone''
n-.arte that chanRe and several others, of
much less Importance as . Incorporated In
the hill which pa'sctl the sen. He.
That nur opinion coincides with vouv
Ik evidenced by the bill itself :is Intro
dined, and by our defense of this pal
tlcolar provision. I am Indeed sorry yon
did nol at an emiler date cxpitsm voiii
onlnlon as to the provision, for It vvon'd
have helped us In our defense of It befoii
the committee.
The bill as It has pa-sei Is in very few
respects differtnt than when Introduced.
Including the Initiative, referendum and
a hhinlonniont provisions, which we added.
It hss nol been I a hlmunlsed to any con
sloerable extent.
I hope you can support It before the
people and help to secure Its adoption in
Omaha. RALPH K. SI NDICRLAND.

We have no patience with the nevvspn
pets that are ridiculing the . presence o:
thousands of democratic officeseekers In
Washington. It Is not a disgrace to seek
office, and though there are not nearly
enough places to go round, we trust no
patriot will emerge empty-handed from the
contest without having first lost eiiouuli
epidermis to show that he made a soul
Insplrlng effort.

When this ghtil earth Is young and fair
She bathes her face with dew,
She si iiloin puis the powder on
As, I. perhaps, or you: . ,
The brink March winds ninsat;e her skis
And leaves her plump and rosy.
And April show els have magic powers
To make her face a po.s.v ; ,
W hen Mother Kaiih 'is old anil grey,
Her wcBthei'-l eatrn features
Would malic ns ihlnk of many, girls,
i if us poor nun ml creatures;
Kor when her f;ice Is furrowed
And north winds bellow louder.
You ouaht to see the vain old soul
llenmudKe her face with powder.
Some mortals mdke an awful foss
About that April snow.
Mm April has many a precedent
In young foil; thai know;
For they to hide the fri-ckles
Resort to diverse plans.
And April powdered to cover up
Those beastly old tin cans.
