Caleb Powers seems to be getting th absent treatment from his Ken tucky colleagues. Those Chinese brigands and rebels must have grown impatient at the Blow work of the famine. "Mr.' Bryan is good enough for me,' says Senator Kern. There is a typical stand-patter for you. Now Dr. Cook says he did not fake about the north pole. Alt right, Doc, old sport, let it go at that. t Speaker though he Is, lie is seldom called anything but "Champ." Fits as naturally as "Uncle Joe." The , Hlnes, distribution cannot be Justified on the ground that "Lorimer gives liberally to the poor."

I Nothing to stop the grand jury from taking up any case of kidnaping, if any kidnaping has really occurred. "Mr, Bryan Lays Cornerstone." Headline. It is gratifying to find Mr. Bryan at constructive work for once. An exchange suggests that congress adjourn to Douglas, Arts. Yee, and make Senator "Jeff" Davis doorkeeper for both houses. ' Those war clouds will now be shifted from Mexico to Missouri. A. St. Louis paper refers to Kansas City as. "A good country town." The auto speeders keep it up re gardless of consequences.

If Mr. Bryan were president no power would keep him from interren Big. Even as. a private citizen no power can keep him from intervening. ' i ne commercial ciud seems to nave almost as much trouble getting Into a home as a fsmily with small children getting Into a fashionable apartment. The date has already arrived when the court house general contractor was to have finished his work. Pools are now open on the date when they will really finish It. If logrolling could be stopped among our city council, county com missioners and school board members, the benefits from the reform would be more noticeable than stopping it in legislative halls. Sure Uncle Gassaway's suggestion of Judge Parker as the democratic noml aee is not meant to convey the idea that the near-nonogenarlan, himself, would like a place on the ticket. A post card straw vote dowa at Lincoln brought returns of only 35 per cent of ballots sent to 7,889 per sons. The 'average voter evidently does not want to take the time even to shoot In the air. . With the death of Judge Hopewell State Senator J. H. Morehead becomes lieutenant governor, and next in suc cession, to the office of chief executive of Nebraska. The last time the presi dent of the senate was moved up' in this way was when Lieutenant Gov ernor Savage succeeded to the place made Vacant by.the promotion of Gov ernor Dietrich to be United' States senator - intmlie K. Hopewell. The death of Lieutenant rnvernor I Melville R Hopewell Is a genuine los8'that "risen over the principle to the people of Nebraska, whom he baa so Iocs .served with distinction and fidelity In various public, capaci ties. Judge Hopewell was a pioneer of the west, for more than forty years a resident of this state, an honored practitioner at the bar, a staunch and loyal republican, a member of the eon ventlon that framed the state consti tution, a judge of the district court and three times lieutenant governor, discharging the duties of every office In such a way as td command respect and approval regardless of politics. Though In no degree self-assertive, Judge Hopewell, had a keen sense of public obligation and patriotism, which was strikingly exemplified oply last year, when he consented to stand for re-election again, not because he wished the office or the honor, but be cause be was persuaded that he owed it to his party and to' his state to con tinue to serve them as they desired. There was nothing of the spectacular In Judge Hopewell, but he had a steady common sense way of doing things, and of deciding difficult ques tions, that made him a safe leader of men the kind of a leader most needed by a people enjoying self government. Democratic Vote Chasing. If the Clark-Underwood democrats in the house were not playing politics, they would abandon that "farmers' free list" billwhich they framed in connection with the Canadian reciproc ity plan, and let the latter proceed on Its merits. About the only definite object accomplished by the free list bill is a reduction in our revenue of $10,000,000 a year. Aside from that, it is palpably a bait thrown out to catch the votes of, the western states at the next election. Even the democrats who advocate "tariff for revenue only" as opposed to complete free trade denounce this make-shift bill. The Houston Post, expressing the sentiment of this fac tion, with which Senator Bailey is identified, refers to the Clark-Underwood crowd as "revenue annlhilators" and deprecates their descent to cheap politics at such an important time. Re publicans, therefore, may be pardoned if they see nothing but politics in the move. Insofar ss this Is but a part of the general trick of tariff slashing at this' extra session, it is opposed by many of the party organs. Democratic papers that counsel against precipitate tariff revision now include the Cleve land Plain Dealer, the Houston Post, the Boston Globe, . the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the New Orleans Pic ayune, the St. Louis Republic, the Se attle Times, the Denver News, the Charleston , News, and Courier and others. ' - 7 : Back of all advice or criticism lies the fact that, according to the treasury figures, Imports to the value of $53,- 526,160, affected by this free list bill, came into the United States, in 1910, and of the value of $37,601,690 in the last six months of the current calendar year. On the total for 1910 duties averaging 18.78 'per cent were col lected, as shown by thevofficial report and on the amount for the last six months, duties of 17.06. -The former collections came to $10,062,942 and the latter $4,707,609. Thus under the free list bill we would lose more than $10,000,000 a yean. " , The Forest Reserves Decision. There is an element of singular sat isfaction in the fact that it is Justice Lamar who writes the. supreme court's dictum on the forest reserve case in volving the question of state and na tional- control, wherein the latter is strongly upheld, for Justice Lamar is a scion of one of the old families of the south, in whose traditions the is sue of states' rights has always been pre-eminent. This may have been the only conclusion consistent with the law and facts in this esse, yet it none theless emphasizes the principle to have it thus clearly enunciated that "the nation is an owner and has made congress the principal agent to dispose of its property." The court's ruling in this case, brought up from California and Colo rado, wherein the sheep men sought to test their right to graze their herds on national forest reserves, affirms the principle of federal control of natural resources . and plainly declares that their conservation rests in the national and not the state governments. That might be regarded as the meat in the whole decision and it is particularly gratifying to find that the court reaches this. view without leading us into any new and untrodden by-paths, but takes ns over precisely the same ground we have gone with both Roose velt and Taft. It simply gives the sanction of Judicial authority to a doc trine already established by admin istrative custom. The decision Is particularly clear in defining the power of congress over the public domain. All th public lands of th nation ar held tn trust for th people of th whol country, and It la not for th courts to say bow that trust shall b administered; that la for congress to determine. Th courts cannot compei It to set aald tb lands for settlement, nor to suffer them to ba used (or agricultural or gracing pur poses; nor lntrfr when, la th xercls of Us discretion, congress establishes th forest rsserves for what It decides to be eat tonal and publle purposes. In th same way aad la th exercise ol th same trust H may disestablish a reserve and devote th property to soma other national and subtle purpose. Those are rights Incident to proprietorship, te say nothing of th sower of tha I'nlted States as a aoverVgn over th property belonging to It.

A Hearst Criticism of Bryan. John Temple Graves, "editorial cor respondent" of the Hearst papers at Washington, In one of his recent po litical letters says: , It la an open'secret in the senate that there would not have been any opposi tion at alt to Senator Martin's election unless Mr. Bryan had seen fit to enter Into the senate contest In opposition to mm. mr. rran, nno mna 111 iisiinis ton at that time, decided that Senator Mar tin was hot the man for the place. Mis belief in this matter took Immediate ac tion in an effort to defeat him. and the opposition to Senator Martin was created in the two days 'preceding th caucus and was largely confined to Mr. Bryan's Im mediate friends. " Mr. Graves had just got through stating that Senator Martin, de nounced by Mr. Bryan as a "conserva tive" and "tool of the trusts," had done more for the progressive demo crats than for the conservatives and that he had been heartily endorsed by the leading progressive senators, such as Owen, Clark and even Mr. Bryan's own John W. Kern. Moreover, he de clares that Senator Bailey, the leading exponent of conservatism among the democratic senators, was never in favor of Martin as caucus chairman, thus signifying more for the Virgin ian's progresslvelsm than conserve tism, wmcn seems to put Mr. Bryan In a rather embarrassing position. This stricture of the Hearst papers upon Mr. Bryan so early after the publicly announced ., Hearst-Bryan reconciliation and alliance gives rather a new turn to the democratic wheel of fortune and leaves one to guess what ever he pleases about how things really stand. Out of all the confusion this one fact seems to be clear: That Mr. Bryan did not make any new friends nor strengthen old ties by his arbitrary attempt to dictate the organ ization of the party in the senate, as he did with so little effort in the house. ) A Distinction with a Difference. There can be no benefit from a third party In the United Slates unless the re forms demanded are absolutely opposed by both leading parties, which does not seem to be the case with the Insurgents. If they t-eally desire the success of those reforms the obvious action for them to take Is to unite with the democratic party. World Herald. If we were to believe the World Herald, the "obvious action" for the republican Insurgents to take is to "unite with the democratic party," but the "obvious action" for the populists to take is to continue to masquerade under the fake third party organiza tion. A third party in the nation would not differ in essence from a third party In the state, and yet Mr. Bryan and his cohorts, including the World-Herald, are responsible for the fraud that is perpetrated on the voters of Nebraska each year by putting the names of democratic candidates on the official ballot a second time mis branded as populists. In this case there Is not even the excuse which the republican Insurgents could set up if they wished to go it alone, because the so-called populist organization in Nebraska is simply an annex to dem ocratic headquarters, run by the same political wire-pullers and financed out of the same pot. The purpose of the democrats Is, of course, "obvious," being to purloin under false pretenses populist votes which they could not get sailing under their own colors. If there can be no public benefit from a third party in the United States, how much longer Is the World Herald and its allies going to inflict us. here In Nebraska with the third party fraud? When will It advise populists in Nebraska to go out of business and unite with the repub lican party that alone has responded to the demand for reforms? The democrats make a big ado over their support of the president's reci procity plan, but they are actuated by entirely different motives. The presi dent has never contended that his plan would materially reduce the cost of liv ing to Americans, while the democrats have -made great capital of that claim. The administration's idea'has all along been based on economlo Improvement and the opportunity reciprocity with our next door neighbor, a country with which we are so nearly identical, of fered for closer relations. His broad purpose of cementing friendship be tween the two nations Is completely lost sight of by the democrats, wfco are eager merely to knock holes In the tariff In the hope that they can crawl through them into the White House. Our amiable democratic contem porary gives another boost to Senator Martin as democratic leader, presuma bly to counteract some of the knocks In Mr. Bryan's Commoner. Its editor is evidently sorry now that he did not vote for Senator Martin in the demo cratic caucus without waiting for the aid or consent of Mr. Bryan or any Other guide, philosopher or friend. Champ Clark has got his bouse demo crats In excellent training. They follow th tips without question. They ar all tagged and seem to enjoy It But Champ hasn't Invaded th aenat yet That la going to be a far more Interesting .body. Phila delphia Inquirer. j The Inquirer Is only saying all this to tantalise our Mr. Bryan. It knows very well who is runnng those demo crats. The State Board of Assessment gives it out that It will fix the railroad valuation this year on the same mile age basis as last year. That may be an easy way to do it. but If the asses sors throughout the stste merely copied the assessment rolls year after OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. MAY i In-ithe state board. Even though the .railway assessment msy be fair, this (.method of making up the figures does not set a good example to other as sessor officers snd bodies. Senator Martin has put Mr. Bryan "In badV" No sooner hsd the colonel's Commoner come out "frothing at the mouth" In Its denunciation of the Vir ginian leader of the senste, thsn he turns around and heaps roals of fire ,on ye edItor.g head by namlng more progressive democrats than conserva tives on all (he Imgortant committees. Clarence Darrow declines to defend the alleged dynamiters, because he Is too old and "rich enough." He better go softly on that latter, or he will lose his place as the poor man's lawyer.

Brooklyn Eagle: Th Guildhall meeting as a national Indorsement on the broadest possible scsle I of Mr. Taft's magnificent plan must beregarded as the most signifi cant testimony yet given to the strength of the Influences that are uniting the two countries In a movement which must have a large and enduring effect upon the cause of. universal JpSe. . Chicago Post: It Is hardly possible to read the cabled reports of the Asquith and Balfouf speeches brief as they are in the cabled rsport-iwlthout sensing their funda mental earnestness. Indeed, to th Amer ican who has merely said "good work" to the . president's arbitration proposal and then thought no mora about It, th Guild hall discussion must bring a slight feeling of embarrassment. New York World: Th prim minister and the leader, of the opposition, the pri mate of the church and the chief of the courts of law, the high commissioners of Canada and Australia, and a great assem bly of notable, men testified on the part not only of England and Greater Britlan beyond the seas an approval of the treaty no less general and hearty than it has re ceived In our own country. Philadelphia Ledger: There Is no doubt whatever that . the great mass of the American people cordially Nand unreservedly join In this aspiration toward closer rela tions of peace and good will with the peo ple of th United Kingdom, and that It It were possible to express In the same way their approval pf the arbitration proposals they would do so with a heartiness and enthusiasm that would leave no room for uncertainty.

A Democratic nisaeat. OMAHA, April 21. To the Editor of,The Bee: Wonderful, when one watches the reports from Washington, what cleverness tn playing iwlitlcs Is displayed by some of the republicans especially by the former speaker. "Joe Cannon." and the house leader for the minority, "Mr. Mann," In conjunction with the present .president of this nation. I am fully convinced In my mind that Cannon, Mann and several others of the party that apparently oppose the reciprocity treaty want this treaty to pass as much as President Taft, and the Interests of Wall street, but they will not want to shoulder the responsibility on the republican party, as they are fully aware of the fact that a tremendous howl will go front all the farmers of the country as will fully realize that this reciprocity treaty Is made at the expense of the farmers and laboring peo ple, that v will find less demand for work in factories where such things are made which are used on farms, as a great many farmers will leave the states to go to Canada where they can procure three farms for the one they now rent or own In this country, the farm Implements (trust made), they will procure for less money, aa they are to enter Canada free of duty, also manufactured Iron (trust made), will enter free Into Canada, besides a number of other trust mad things will find an out let into Canada, to the benefit of the trusts. In return for these privileges, given to the big Interests of Wall street, Canada de mands of iur government (Wall .street) to send thelK thrifty farmers of the United States over to Canada to cultivate the vast lands so that it may be brought up In price similar to what was don In th United States by that very farmer. Canada being fully aware of the fact that reciprocity Is a forced deal by Warl street, therefor named a lot of conditions quite unreasonable, but mostly all granted, which were to the benefit of Canada and detrimental to our American farmers. Pafrlotlcm and loyalty to America is not recognised by the greed that exists on Wall street and here w go. It's self preservation we have to look for In all deals we make; that Is the only cor rect principle for us to stick to, a our aim la to control th finances of the world; we ar cosmopolitans; we will only talk American patriotism when we need the assistance In Cuba, th Philippines and Mexico, since business has been so fear fully dull on Wall street th last ten months. The manipulators of stocks and bonds find It quite a difficulty to pay divi dends since they wer not permitted to rals freight rates, etc.k and they Invented th scheme with Canada, which, as they know, would glv them temporary relief; after that the Mexicans' opportunities will b ripe maybe If the other nations will not step In to stop the extreme boldness of these few pirates that do things on Wall street. The stalwart republicans that I named In th beginning ar certainly playing good politics when they put It up to th demo crats to do th dirty work, If the democrats will go Into the trap that Joe Cannon and others hav set ' up for' the democratic party. They would not need to look for any new planks for th next republican platform; the abov would be enough to defeat the democrats. W. F. STOECKER. Aa Aerial Peril. Kansaa City Times.
