the same time it admits that the
figures are correct.
Reciprocity and Practical Foiitici.
Canada is being lauded in some of
the American newspapers for submit
ting the question of reciprocity to a
popular vote, instead of letting parlia
ment baggie over It, as was done by
us in congress. The Canadian way
may or may not be an improvement,
but it should at least prove more ex
peditious. If other issues can be
kept out each voter will be able to
register for himself his own wishes
and take no chance of being repre
sented or misrepresented by bis dele
gate at Ottawa. That the fight will
be a strenuous one Is a foregone con
clusion. The members of parliament
had no sooner left the legislative halls
than they began planning for the cam
paign and Premier Laurler, himself,
will be a conspicuous figure on the
stump throughout the canvass.
Yet Americans need not Indulge any
too fine illusions about the candor of
their Canadian cousins In this con
test because it is not all candor. Al
ready the wolf cry of "annexation"
has been raised. The anti-reciprocity
party proposes to make much of that
delusion and Its possibilities are not
to be underestimated. Furthermore,
it appears that the American method
of Injecting a little money Into politi
cal campaigns Is not to be overlooked.
Reports have it that British imperial
ists and Canadian and American anti
reciprocltyites have pooled resources
to see that the machinery of opposi
tion Is properly greased. So, on the
whole, it is to be quite a practical cam
paign, even if the question has been
submitted to a direct vote and the rule
of the people is to be vindicated.
I
Investigations Galore.
It is a question whether congress
will adjourn as early in August as pre
dicted. If it Intends to complete all
the unfinished business on hand before
closing this extra session, it will be
grinding away when August shall have
passed, unless it should suddenly be
seized with an Impulse to put In all the
remaining time actually at business,
which is not likely.
This has been, nominally at least, a
session of investigation. And five in
vestigations are still dragging along,
none of them apt to be finished at this
session. The list Includes the Lorimer
case, the Sugar trust, the Steel trust,
Alaska, and the proposed Inquiry into
the Banking or Money trust. In all
of these matters speedy action is im
portant, but It la out of the question
to expect final results soon.
As to the latest proposed Investiga
tion, that of the so-called Money trust,
it is yet to be established that such an
institution exists. Congressman Lln
bergh's resolution asserts Its existence
proved, yet other authorities take di
rect issue with that declaration. The
New York Journal of Commerce, for
instance, says: -
This seems to be the culmination of the
erase In Washington for Investigating ev
ery wild charge of monopoly or trust com
bination that the Imagination can conjure
up. The Linbergh resolution has' not
seemed to us to be worthy of serious at
tention and It la surprising that It should
be taken up at all by the rules committee.
Our "financial systems" may be In need
of "remedies," and they have been for some
time under examination with a view to ap
plying them, but they are not In such a
"parlous state" as to require any such di
agnosis and treatment as the Minnesota
congressman Is said to have persuaded the
rules committee to adopt. The Idea of a
monopoly or "trust" controlling the credit,
exchanges and deposits of our 7,900 national
banks or thereabouts, the 12,000 or 14,000
banks and trust companies of the states,
and other banking houses and Institutions,
"for selfish purposes" and to "the damage
and Irreparable Injury of the people," is too
preposterous to be entertained by - men
altogether sane.
We are not for defending any
"Money trust," but neither for bring
ing in a verdict before the evidence is
presented.
De-Churching a Governor.
Governor Colquitt of Texas, If re
ports are to be relied upon, may have
to forfeit his membership ia the Meth
odist church in order to have retained
his leadership of the militant democ
racy of bis state. The governor led
the antl-prohlbltlon forces that re
cently achieved a victory In defeating
state-wide prohibition In Texas and
now, as a consequence, petitions are
being circulated by his fellow-churchmen
praying that he be ousted from
his pew.
The protestants do not charge mal
feasance In office against the gover
nor; they do not accuse him of cor
ruption or crookedness In the elec
tion; they do not allege that he Is a
toper, or even a questionable char
acter in his private life. So far aa
these things are concerned, the gov
ernor of Texas may walk as circum
spectly as the brethren who want htm
put out of the church. They allege
only, what everybody In Texas and a
good many outside the state know,
that Governor Colquitt lent his Influ
ence to defeat state-wide prohibition.
He may have favored restrictive legis
lation of the liquor traffic in some
other form. He may have believed
that temperance could be practiced
and law upheld more effectually in
some other way than to write prohibi
tion upon the statute books. But his
offense is that he had the courage of
his convictions to come out boldly for
what he believed.
It is a dangerous thing to punish a
man for doing what his conscience
tells him is right, especially a man
like the Texas governor, who evi
dently has aligned himself with the
great moral forces of the day. Yet
that seems to be precisely the proposi
tion. When statutory prohibition was
In its heyday, the majority of church
members never voted for it. If they
had this country would have bad sev
eral prohibition presidents. And had
such a movement been started and
completed against those church mem
bers who took the position Governor
Colquitt took In Texas, the churches
would have been depopulated long
ago. Even John G. Woolley, himself,
candidate for president on the prohi
bition ticket, has left that party, be
lieving it served its day and that its
object can better be achieved through
other agencies. Yet there is no rea
son to believe Mr. Woolley is not Just
as strong a foe to the liquor traffic as
he ever was.
Governor Colquitt seems to have be
come the victim of a certain form of
Intolerance, which, while fighting in
temperance, usually spends Its own
strength in Intemperance of action.
Verifying Commission Plan Petition.
City Clerk Butler Indicates that he
will take twenty days to check up and
verify the commission plan petition
before certifying it to the mayor.
Careful reading of the law con
vinces us that the city clerk is making
for himself altogether unnecessary
work, because nowhere is the duty
Imposed upon him to check up the
petition on his own initiative or even
to certify It to the mayor. For the
reason that no such duty Is imposed
on the city clerk, the editor of The
Bee, at the time of filing the petition,
himself, gave notice to the mayor of
its filing, and if the city clerk should
do nothing whatever about it the
mayor would be bound to issue the
proclamation vlthin twenty days, just
the same..
So far as verifying the petition Is
concerned, by checking against the
registration lists, that Is anyone's priv
ilege. The petition carries over 6,000
names, being more than 1,700 In ex
cess of the 26 per cent, with affidavit
aa to their qualification as legal vot
ers. The receipt of the petition, on
its face fully complying with the law,
should, It seems to us, be conclusive
on the city clerk unless someone
should file written protest questioning
Its sufficiency. The commission plan
law makes a distinction on this point
as between a petition submitting this
question and other petitions the re
call, for example which are pre
sumptively insufficient until verified
by the clerk. For the original com
mission plan petition, the presumption
of the law is that It Is valid unless
attacked and proved' otherwise.
A Wrong Premise.
Now that Mr. Harrington has asserted
the thing as a fact, the people of the state
would do well to consider carefully his
claim that the railroads are planning to
get men of their own . selection nominated
for railroad commissioner by both parties
this year and next. Lincoln Journal.
Mr. Harrington's mistake must be
his assumption to know the man the
railroads are interested in. The rail
way commissioner whose term is
about to expire was appointed by Gov
ernor Shallenberger to fill a vacancy,
and Is a candidate for re-election. If
the railroads got in their work at all
they must have done It with Governor
Shallenberger, who was then, as now,
courting their favor, and who went
good for his private secertary as safe
and reliable. At any rate, the rail
roads have had no special complaint
against the democratic member of the
commission and would have no reason
to be displeased with his renoml
nation. Political wiseacres at Lincoln think
Mr. Bryan will be compelled to come
out In the open for a preferred candi
date for the democratic 1913 nomina
tion. The presidential preference pri
mary may drive him to this course,
but he has never done anything of the
kind before except when his prefer
ence was himself. In 1896 the Ne
braska delegation would have been
for Bland or Boles had, It been In
structed in convention, and in 1904 It
certainly would not have been for
Cockrell, for whom Bryan voted it,
had the state convention spoken.
Pursuant to a law enacted by the

The real question, however, Is, how
much loss, if any, did the school fund
have to take in order to dispose of Its

NEBRASKA ENDORSES TAFT.
Ploux City Journal: True, the Nebraska
republican state convention did not Indorse
Canadian reciprocity. For that matter,
neither did the Nebraska democratic state
convention.
St. Louis Times: The endorsement of
Taft by the republicans of Nebraska shows
that the Nebraska republicans wish to
align themselves with the people of the
country, rather than with a few discredited
leaders of their party.
Boston Transcript: The success of Tresl-
dent Taft's friends In securing an endorse
ment of the president from the Nebraska
republicans In convention and In blocking
the efforts of the insurgents to secure an
indorsement of La Follette, Is significant.
It indicates that the presidents friends
have been working effectively and well
throughout the country, and that he will
come very near to controlling the next re
publican national convention.
Washington Star: In endorsing Mr. Taft
and his work the republicans did the only
sensible thing. To Ignore him would have
been folly; to praise him half-heartedly.
stupidity; to repudiate him, a blunder of
proportions greater than a crime. Mr. La
Follette was the only man In the minds
of Mr. Taft's opponents, and outside of
his own state he has no real strength.
Talk of him for president Is thin, and
confined to a few places and a compara
tively small number.
Washington Post: The strong hold of
President Taft upon his party waa shown
at the proceedings of the republican state
convention of Nebraska. A few Inaurgent
malcontents had announced that no en
dorsement of Taft or the national admin
istration would be permitted to pass, but
when the showdown came the endorsement
was there, and the insurgents were not.
Ringing resolutions were adopted praising
President Taft for his administration of
national affairs and full confidence In hla
couraa was emphatically affirmed.
PASSING! OP ARMY MARTINET.

The Indications are that the martinet
Is to become a thing pf the past In the
United States army, If the new orders
just Issued by the War department are
carried out Heretofore It has been un
derstood that offloers should be retired
simply and solely on account of physical
disability. Some time ago the Department
of Justice handed down a decision to the
effect that an officer might be retired on
the grounds of temperamental incapacity
for leadership, which was but one way of
saying that if ha was ill-tempered, over
bearing, and. In short, a "martinet," he
might be retired for the good of the serv
ice. No recommendations for retirement
were made for that cause, however, up to
thla time, but now the War Department
has Issued an order which will make re
tlrement for the causes Just stated opera
tlve, and it Is probable that a number of
offloers whs have shown what may be
called a misdirected seal may have to
give way to others who know how to con
tol their men and their tempers, too.
It Is a far cry from the despotism of
the old days, when the issues of life and
death were In the hands of a commanding
