The announce ment', uerhaps. might have been made more delicately, but that evidently would not have conformed to Mr. Bryan's private plana lino distinctly drawn at the outset. i he knows Just what be may count on, and whom. Yet, it is doubtful If all !of the sixteen who voted for Shlvely will be rantankerously progressive. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, and Senator O'Gorman of New York, for Instance Of the sixteen who atood with Bryan, nine are new men entering upon their Initial terms. Most of the southern senators were against hira. and to Borne aurprise Culberaon of Texaa among them. Kven Taylor of Tennessee, who had ao recently pro fessed friendship for the Nebraskan, waa on this aide. Of tha older mem bership, therefore, Mr. Bryan aeetns to have Influenced none not already under hia wing. This teft has brought out another point of timely Interest and that is Mr. Bryan's determination to listen to no compromise for the fight next year. For It was he who first suggested Senator Martin of Virginia for the leadership when he wanted to defeat either Senator Bacon or Senator Bailey, both of whom loomed up formidably. Then when thie apecter disappeared ha promptly discarded Martin for Shlvely. but too late, be cause those pledged to Martin would not change. The denunciation by Senator Bailey of Bryan'a intermeddling In the house and senate organisation prsents till another Interesting feature. The Texan Insists that he himself might have had the vote for leader bad he not taken himself out of the lists in recognition of his own temperamental deficiencies, and declares that If Bryanism is democracy's creed, a majority of the senate democrata are no longer entitled to the name. At all eventa, Mr. Bryan baa accentuated the factional division In hia party, which is at least as pronounced as the factional division among republi cans In tha senate. Future of Our City Government. The people of Omaha are now charged with full reaponaibility for their municipal affaira, for until w elect a new set of officials the condi tions in the city hall will remain un changed. Kfforta to amend the city's charter have failed because ths -representations made by ths taxpayers to the governor convinced htm that the objections to the charter bill far out weighed ita advantages. The veto leaves certain problems of municipal admlnstratlon atlll pressing for solu tion. Tha collection and disposal of garbage and other household refuse, the lighting and cleaning of the streets, the proper protection of the cltlxena and property through the fire and police department and many other similar mattera are left to be adjusted by some method' other than relief through legislative amendment of ths charter. Two bills have gone through which should make It possible for Omaha to secure relief from this condlton In due time. The proposed commission form of government will doubtless be early presented for our people to adopt or reject. Between now and that time It will be thoroughly dis cussed and Its advantagea or disadvan tages will be made plain. Another measure in the form ot a constitu tional amendment aubmltted for rati fication providea for "horns rule" by cities, giving them the opportunity to frame their own chartera within cer tain well-defined restrictions. Id one or another form, or perhaps In a com bination of botb. Omaha will have to work out ita future city government. Provincialism. Dean West of Princeton university made an interesting statement to a Kaneaa City Star reporter recently. It was thla: The fact that our eastern universities are attended by western men is tha secret of why tha west understands tha east so much better titan tha aaat understands the went. It would be well for the young men of the eait If they could come went to finish their educations and tain the same familiarity with conditions hers that tha westerner sains in tha east. That la so true and needa so much to be said that It Is gratifying to have It said by an eastern man and one of the most prominent of eastern edu cators, for it carries mors weight In the eaat than It would coming from the Hps of a westerner. Dean West might have added, as another reason why ths western man Is better in formed of the east than the easterner ia of the west, ths fart that the west erner reallies he haa something to learn In and from the east and holds himself in a receptive attitude, an at titude of diligent Inquiry, wille. too often, the young man of the east dis credits the west and disdains to im agine that it haa anything worth while to offer bim. The east has before been charged with provincialism. It Is a common saying, however true It may be, that New York, Itself, ia the moat provin cial of American cities. If we confine the term to locat conceit It contains a good deal of truth, though we would never think of ranking New York ahead of Boston. It la natural, though, that communities with traditions bark jof them should lean toward provin- Irlsllsm. hut It In not such n pood thine fer the countr ns a whole. No doubt j dean West's plan of eastern young men finishing their educations in west- "T" colleges ana universities wouia jhiva nm.t m-Vir.lr.tri a ffmnt An mir 1 would find them about aa numerous I as in the east. Our western sons and daughters go east for higher educa- tions, not because they cannot get By having thelth"i In to west, but largely for the reaaon pointed out by Dean West to escape the possibility of ectlonallsm and broaden their scope. King; of the "Middle Class.' ! London correspondents of American j newspapers are referring to King George V aa a "middle class king." I because of his democratic habits. The term is, of course, applied lightly, and yet may carry with It some serious significance. He and Queen Mary have revised the royal social circles quite materially, inviting to the palace many persons never before known to the place. They sre all persons of character and standing, though not of the select class. Also the king has made it bis custom to move among the plain people and study them, their ways and their wants. This makes him very popular with this part of England's population. It will also make him a more useful monarch. This Is not strange, however, in view of the lifs ths king lived before the death of hia Illustrious father. Hia early training on the water Inured him to real work and some hardship. He became a very practical and effi cient aailor and passionately fond of hia vocation. Serious minded, be was marked in his attention to the simpler elements 'of British life while prince of Wales, and when he ascended the throne It waa freely predicted that he would become democratic nd popular. From tha first be haa apparently made no serious mistakes. He dis played rare tact, on the other hand, at the outset In meeting the complex problems that arose from the turmoil In Parliament to face him from the beginning of his reign, and he is strong with the powers of government on all sides today. He simply has im pressed hia own Individuality. King Edward was popular and be counted some of his most Intimate friends among the ranks of the middle class, yet he could never have been rightly called a middle class monarch. He was A sportsman and mlddlera often love sports. On the track, at the Derby, be came In contact with them, and ia his earlier years as prince of Wales be was totally democratic in his attitude toward the sporting gentry. But the son seems to- possess a quality the father lacked in this relation the middle claaa aide of bis life Is the serious side; of his father's It was the reverse. Edward's democracy w rought no cbangea in the royal calling list. Case of Caleb Powers. It is too bad that the friends of Caleb Powers felt it necessary to aend him In congress in order to complete hia vindication. We need not believe him guilty of the crime of which he waa by his full pardon finally ac quitted to accept this view. We may believe thoroughly In his Innocence, or take no stock in it one way or the other and yet see the unwisdom of electing 61m to such an office sure to bring him unpleasantly Into the lime light. Attention la directed again to the case of this unfortunate man by the action of the other congreaamen from Kentucky refusing to serve on any committee of which Powers may be a member. These others are democrats. while Powers Is a republican. They propose for him complete ostracism bo long as they and be remain In the house together. If they are able to enforce thla plan It will deprive Pow ers of the vital part of his influence in congress, keeping hira off the impor tant committees. In such event, of course, be would not be of much value to bla constituents or to the country. Powers' case haa Its pathetic aide. It Is a pity bis Innocence of the mur der of Governor Goebel could not have been conclusively established so neither friend nor foe could question It, but his status will always remain obscured by the clouds of political turmoil that hovered over Kentucky at and aucceedlng the time of this tragedy. Doubtless Powers would al most be willing to exchange hia liberty for a fair trial, free of political preju dice, something that, without regard to his guilt or innocence, waa not ac corded hira and was not possible under the circumstancee then existing. "Made In Nebraska" la merely a' variation on the old "Patronlze-home-industry" campaign which The Bee Inaugurated years ago and haa been advocating ever since. It goes with out saying that the home market ia the best market for the producer and the manufacturer, and that If Ne-braka-made products are not appre ciated at home they cannot go far abroad. Patronise home industry and help build up your own city and state.

Around New York Hippies oa tha Cnrrent of Ufa sa Seen la tha Oraat Amertoaa Metropolis from Day to Day Most of the New York papers presumed to reflect New Tork sentiment, ere switch ing around to the opinion that the new Senator O'Gorman Is a real fine man. physically and Intellectually, despite the Tammany label. To most of them Tam many Is a terrible bogey, though no better or worse than the political Temmanys of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago, Omaha and flan Franrlso. But some good can tome out of the New York Tammany. The Brooklyn Eagle, a stanehly Independent lemoi-ratic paper, shows by the Judicial arts that Senator O'Gorman ia a msn of loftier principles than his critics will ad mit. One of several clte4 by the Eagle ia typical of the Jurist senator. In the beginning or 1910 Judge O'Gorman wss as signed to a certain division of the court of appeals for a six months' term, the long dsslgnatlon being due In part to the knowledge that Governor Hughes would be gratified by It. The Judge waa at onoe set to work bearing the "special franchise cases," which Involved the taxable status of the large carrying corporations of New York City. Their tax peymenta had fallen In arrears and 'as a result, tens of millions of dollars In assessments remained un paid." The corporations declared that they were not liable, and the city was unable to Insist to the contrary because the as aessments by the atate tax officer had been largely guess work and proof was re quired. The whole scope and construction of the law were Involved. The corporate books and all of the as sets had to be Investigated, a stupendous task even for an expert. Then the rami fications had to be followed, and conclu sion on the facts reached involving alike the corporations and the city, and the de cision was practically final. The Eagle speaks thua of Judge O'Uorman's work: "Judge O'Gorman dealt ably and Justly with thla great question. The arrears were paid up. Tha city received that to which It thought it waa entitled. The corpor ations felt that they had been neither op pressed nor robbed. Tha law department of tha state, as well as of the city, was satisfied. Better comprehension and more Just consideration of confusing details could not have been desired than the designation of Judge O'Gorman to this task secured. This Is a little known or little regarded chapter In the life of this man. It should be appreciated, for its value, In lighting to view his capacity, bis Industry, his honesty, hia wisdom and his courage." Nightcaps, the solace of our fathers and our grandfathers, have gone out of fash Ion. No one or but few wear these cosey coveralls for bald heads that were con sidered Indispensable a generation ago or so. A gentleman who likes to alaen with his bedroom window open, but who cannot because he catches cold In bts bald pate. sought all over New Tork for nightcaps lately. In one big department store he found them. He was Inquiring for "chil dren's caps made of stockinette or some thing of that aort." The saleswoman cross-examined him so rigidly that he un consciously lifted bis hat. "Oh, you mean nightcaps," aha exclaimed. "We're the only store in New York that keeps 'em. They're coming Into use again. Where we sold a dozen last year we're selling a hundred now. Fresh air. That's the an swer." The other drfy a poor Ignorant, love- craned emigrant girl was arrested because she had written a letter that Anthony Comstock thought Improper to a faithless lover. The greasy haired thug to whom tha letter had been written wanted re venge upon the poor woman and turned the letter over to Comstock. Every official at the federal building said that the of fense was trivial. "Suppose we releaae her on her own recognisance," proposed Assistant District Attorney Levy. "No," said Comstock, "an offense has been committed. She must be locked up or give ball for a hearing tomorrow." The girl had begun to cry when this was repeated to her. She had lost ona day's work by her arrest. She had no means of getting ball. If she lost another day's work aha would lose her Job. That meant char ity starvation or the streets. She did not have a cent, Six days' work a week Just paid her current expenses. Five days' work meant that during tha next week she must do with leas than enough to eat. The demand that she be locked up seemed horrible oruelty to her. In fact, it was cruelty, for the charge would never have been considered by th average man charged with enforcing the laws. "Never mind," said Comstock, abruptly. Lock her up." "I'll be mistaken If I will." said Com missioner Shields, angrily. "No ball. You can go, Anna." Three officials raced to get to th girl with enough money for car far and lunch. She had walked to the court She had had nothing to eat all day. Mr. Com stock looked at the wild three In supreme disgust. Obviously, he felt that this pan dering to tha sentiment of compassion must ultimately ruin our fair land. A New York retail merchant who bad read of the method employed by Judge William Jeff Pollard of St. Louis, who believes that "the less demoralised and sodden slaves to aloohollc excesses should not be impris oned, but released on their algnlng a pledge not to drink," revoked a discharge order which a department superintendent had issued against a clerk. The man was brought to ths office and asked by the merchant if It was true he bad appeared at the store a few days before much the worse for drink. "Yes, I was drunk," the man said. "Are you sorry?'' be was asked. "Yea but I couldn't help It." After further conversation, which convinced th mer chant that the offender was not of the In eurabla class, tha pledge proposition was advised and the document was soon signed. Leaving the office, th clerk turned and said: "We were up all night and at T o'clock they told me it was a boy. I rushed downstairs to the telephone, my brother-in-law heard the message, made me go into his apartment and take drink, then I blew the doctor off to one and that settled it." "That's different said the merchant. "I'll take your word without the written pledge." in telling the story he said: "I went Judge Pollard one better." To th Back Benches. Minneapolis Journal.

The work of the small college la nowhere more appreciated than In such a state as our own and though aoma of the work of preparation for higher courses has been made less necessary by the Increased facilities of grammar and high schools, still Us functions sre large. Doane college is one of the pioneer insti tutions of the atate and haa played Ita part well. If Dr. Pearson had seen his way clear to maks the gift several times as large, he would have made no mistake. Geneva Signal: At last Nebraska has a little stock yards legislation, but most of the credit goes to Governor Aldrich. The legislature first passed a bill declaring stock yards to be public markets and other wise meeting the entire approval of th slock yards people. If the governor had signed this bill the members of the legis lature would have been able to go horn and point with pride to thetr stock yards record. The governor put a crimp In that by vetoing the bill on the ground that it waa unconstitutional and of no use to any. body anyway. The resulting row put a lot of the members In such a hole that they were compelled by the force of public sentiment st home to vote for the Ollls bill, which th governor has signed. The Ollls bill puts the stock yards under the control and supervision of th Stat rail way commission and In a measure takes the South Omaha slock yards out of legls. lativ politics. HXOBBKRY IX THE NAVY. Rldlcnloaa Clnsa Distinction At- ' tempted br Sailor Cobs. Springfield (Mass.) Republican. Th old question seems to be srlsing again whether the nation Is training up in Its army and navy schools a claaa of In sufferable little snoba. to become bigger snobs as they rise In the service. A mid shipman at Annapolis took Miss Catherine Beers, daughter of Prof. Henry A. Beer of Yale, to a social function at the aead-r emy and was given a strong hint that he should hot again offend by bringing on among them of her social position. So the story goes. It appears that Miss Beers waa at that time and ia a companion of Mrs. Tarrant, wlf of Lieutenant W. T. Tarrant, and governess of her children. Thtit is to say apparently. Miss Beers la trying to earn her own living, and this la what makes a social position beneath that of these sailor cubs, who go to ths naval academy from all sort and conditions of social life. It is stated that Prof. Beers will ask the Navy department to Investi gate the matter and that he will have the help In this of Admiral William C.
