Bipartisanship a Pretense.
Two years ago the democrats raised
the slogan of "nonpartisanshlp" in
the judicial campaign and pleaded for
the 'election of democratic candidates
on the ground that they would be non
partisans. The fake was so trans
parent that the people took no stock
in it, and as a consequence the plea
this year, as voiced by the mouthpiece
of democracy, Is for bipartisanship
through a division of the places on the
supreme . bench, railway commission
and Board of University Regents be
tween the political parties.
The democrats are nO more sincere
In this than they were In their pre
tense of nonpartisanshlp two years
ago. it Is not bipartisanship they
want anywhere, but merely the elec
tion of the democratic candidates and
the defeat of republican candidates.
Should they by accident succeed they
would on the next turn try to capture
the remaining places In theso bodies
and make the supremo court, the rail
way commission and the board of re
gents wholly partisan democratic.
That, at least. Is what the democrats
have attempted heretofore. When
they bad two of the three members of
the supreme court in 1901 they forgot
all about nonpartisanshlp and biparti
sanship ana tried their best to capture
the third. The same applies to the
Board of University Regents when
the democrats had four of the six
members they omitted no effort to get
the other two. Thero aro Judicial
districts In Nebraska with two judges
on Ihe bench, both of them democrats,
but In these the democrats manifest
no disposition to divide up with the
republicans in- order to promote the
principle of nonpartisanshlp. or bi
partisanship. - '
With our democratic friends it Is
any way to get a democrat into office.

Commission Flan of Settling1 Strikes.
VThe commission plan of settling a
street car ' strike which has been
evolved in Des Moines Is likely to at
tract even more attention to that city
than has the commission plan of gov
ernment. What threatened to be an
ugly, prolonged and costly fight be
tween ,the street car company and its
employes has been averted by a bold
stroke on the part of the city govern
ment applying to the court for a man
datory writ compelling the company to
take back all the employes, and the
employes to resume work, so that the
operation of the street railway system
should be no longer interrupted and
the differences In controversy settled
afterward by arbitration.
This savors of extremely radical
government interference, but It was
an acute case confronting the Des
Moines authorities, which called for
radical treatment. Here in Omaha,
with keen recollection of the troubles
brought on us by our street car strike
of two years ago, we doubtless appre
ciate what Des Moines has escaped
even better than the Des Moines peo
ple themselves. If Des Moines has
struck an effective way of preventing
paralysis of street car traffic every
time the employes think they have a
serious grievance It will have made a
notable contribution to the peace
movement that aims at termination of
this sort of industrial warfare.
Jfodern Industry and Education.
For some years the tendency of
young men seeking higher education
has been toward law and medicine.
Schools of these professions have in
creased In number and the fields of
occupation have become more over
crowded. Certain new tendencies in in
dustry and the science of treating hu
man ills are at work which suggest the
possibility, of a change In the drift of
the educational current. Public and
private enterprise are enlisted In a
movement to work out new cures for
old diseases and improve sanitation
throughout the country.' Vast progress
has been, and more will be, made.
Along with this, though distinctly
apart from It, goes the effort of tho
government and private capital to har
ness nature for the needs of Industry;
to open up irrigation and watjir power
plants for agricultural and Industrial
purposes.
yThe New York Times Invites to the
new fields of scientific service the at
tention of young men contemplating
finished educations. They are, un
doubtedly, prolific of opportunities.
What will the effect be in these two
channels? Will the current be diverted
from law and medicine tp that of tech
nical or sanitary engineering? We
shall continue to need both lawyers
and physicians in spite of all our
goodness and our bealthfulness, but,
perhaps, tt would be well for both pro
fessions and many young men If some
thing should intervene to turn some
of them out of the way of becoming
lawyers or doctors.
Commanding Togo's Attention.'
President Roosevelt sent the Amer
ican fleet around the world just as a
friendly object lesson, to let our neigh
bors In other parts of the globe see
what a big, fine navy we had. The
effect was as Impressive as the spec
tacle. Itself, though some of the presi
dent's critics regarded the act as a bit
impolite.
In showing Admiral Togo around
the American official party took him
close to our huge fourteen-tnch guns
in the navy yard where he could get
a good view of them, and report says
the great Japanese who conquered
Russia "displayed especial Interest."
He fell asleep on the deck of the pres
idential yacht while an American
naval, officer was entertaining him,
but that was after he had viewed
these big guns. He managed to keep
wide a.wake in their presence.
Kow,- perhaps, hypercritical persons
may think it was impolite, at least a
little too suggestive, to show. off our
tnaval guns to the Japanese admiral,
but didn't he come over here to In
spect our munitions and resources? It
would have been Impolite and very
suggestive,' indeed, to have concealed
these weapons from our distinguished
guest.
But it was a happy remark that
Rear Admiral Wainwrigbt - made to
Count Togo after the battery of news
paper cameras had snapped at him:
"That's the onjy.way we'll ever shoot
at you, I guess." Of course, there was
nothing sinister In the minds of the
escorting party . In exhibiting our
deadly naval resources, naturally very
Impressive snd imposing.
Immigration and Hliteracy.
It Is given out that congress Is con
sidering a bill to impose heavy fines
upon steamship companies that "bring
to the United States any illiterate
alien or any alien not eligible to
naturalization." If the purpose of the
measure. Is to enforce the Immigra
tion laws and break up completely the
system practiced by some steamship
companies of drumming up Immi
grants regardless of whether qualified
for admission, to that extent it Is laud
able and should be favorably received.
It is vicious to Induce the poor alien
to spend his meager savings for trans
portation to a land, as be Is led to
believe, "flowing with milk and
honey," only to be told upon arrival
that he cannot land. The effect on
him is permanently bad. He does not
fully understand and probably never
can In his own mind absolve the
United States government from the
blatrre. He is apt to lose hope and
ambition, as well as the accumulations
of a lifetime.
If, however, the measure simply
seeks to add to the present require
ments of the Immigrant that of liter
acy, then it is of extremely doubtful
wisdom. We have never laid down an
educational test and we have admitted
many thousands of illiterate aliens
who have become excellent citizens.
If they are able and willing to work
at honebt toil, are not morally, men- k
tally or bodily aeiectlve, ana not
paupers, they ought to be received,
whether they can read or write or not.
Illiteracy is not transmissible and Is
quickly shaken off by the second gen
eration. Why should we put up the
bars to these people and say, "You
may not enter until you learn to read
and write?" Would it not be' better
to say to them, "You may come If
you are decent and sound and. Indus
trious, and we will help you to be
useful citizens." '
The member of the Water board
who had an interview printed Imme
diately after the failure of the water
bond proposition, in June, assuring the
public that the defeat Of the bonds
would In no way hasten or retard the
pending proceedings for possession of
the plant, might follow It up now by
another Interview giving assurance
that the carrying of the bonds will be
equally ineffective In hurrying up or
delaying the court decision.
Put it-down that the solicitude of
the local democratic organ for the sit
ting judges on the district bench, who
happen to be all republicans, will last
only till after the primary, when it
will discover many reasons why their
places should be filled by democrats.
Nothing would Bult the democrats
here In Douglas county better than to
have the republicans load their county
ticket down with candidates who can
not command public confidence be
cause covered with corporation taint.

DebryaaUlnaj the Daukey, "
New York World (dm.)
The process of de-Bryantiing the demo
cratic party ha been apparent throughout
tha present session of congress. It began
with tha refusal of the democrats to ac
cept Mr. Bryan' dictation on tha wool
bill. It progress haa been marked by
open criticism of Mr. Bryan'a utterances
and by defiance of his assumed authority.

Death of a Noted Morse.
Countess Susan O.isnen, for forty yiars
a nuiBe of national prominence, c'l.d as the
result of a surgical operation last week.
Mie waa 71 year of age.
There la a stiange element of abnega
tion In tlic story of Counter Uusman'e
lire, as told by her friends. Without need
of money, with title and social claim,
she voluntarily gav up the life she had
lived for years soon after the civil war
and took up the study of nursing. She
was among the first to benefit by the
grewsome teachings of the civil war, and,
a she progressed, she became an acknowl
edged leader to whom the physician did
not lieHllat to appeal for advice.
The Countess Gunman was a native of
the Bermuda islands. When young she
wa a belle of great beauty, and her
maiTlugo to Count Senchey Uuaman wa an
affair that still remain among the social
triumphs of the little lfland. ' Before hr
marriage she Was Miss Supnn Ketchum.
Boon after her marriage she and her
husband cam to thl country, firat living
in New York and afterward coming to
Washington. Their social progress was un
barred by any circle. They were known In
the rank that are th "400" aets of today.
In 1871 Count Ousman died, leaving hi wife
and one young son. Then It- waa that the
countess gave up all of lief former ambi
tions, surrendered the place she had won
In society and began a study of nursing.
She took a email suite of room and de
voted her life to the task she had chosen.
Gradually sh came to be known among
the physicians of Washington aa one of th
really great nurse of the country.
Among those whom she treated was th
family of Henry' D. Cook when he waa
governor of the district, Governor A. R.
Shepherd, also of the district; Bancroft,
the historian; Ulysses S. Grant and Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt. '
She visited the hospitals of Washington
constantly, and there, among the "free
patients," th charity cases, sh gave of
her knowledge as freely a she did with
Bancroft and Grant. At the Emergency,
the Garfield and at Providence she oared
for many patient whose only repayment

Girl Clerks Angered.
Uncle Sam Is able to design magnificent
buildings and erect them. He also I able
to Improve old building that have gone
out of date -with years, but he does not
know on single thing about women's hats.
It 1 the lack of this knowledg that haa
aroused 3 women clerk of the Treasury
department, and ha brought forth loud
remonstrances from each. Th new lock
ers .'ST the treaeury, under preparation for
months, and declared to be the finest of
the sort ever devised, are not big enough
for their hat.
The locker were thrown open and as
signed yesterday when the new rule, re
quiring all treasury building employe to
enter and leave by the new Fifteenth street
entrance, went into force.
"The lilies on my hat will all get
quashed," remarked one maiden, who
spends most of her time counting $100 bills.
"I'll com to work in a fasoinator before
I ruin my $16 bonnet in a plac like that."
And o In the hall there was an indigna
tion meeting, where women clerk told
their trouble to each other and vowed
vengeance on the designer of the lockers.
Th locker are about eighteen Inches wide,
and th building should have known that
that would not do. However, style may
change, and big hats may go out of fash-
Ion, most of tha young women hope- In
the meantime millinery rose gardens from
eighteen inches upward In diameter are re
posing on the locker, or are In various
nther places of safety during th working
hour.
Vice President Tnrned Down,
Vice President Sherman' request on the
county clerk of Fairfax county, Virginia,
to permit him to view the will of George
Washington, now incased in the county
court house, waa refused because, as the
clerk explained, "there 1 a rule which
prohibits the opening of the building on
Sunday." The desire of Mr. Sherman to
take one peep at th famou document
consequently was not satisfied.
With a party of motorists, Vic President
Sherman took a spin through Virginia.
Returning by Fairfax court house in th
afternoon, some one in the party remem
bered that several historical paper are on
file in th old building. Among them. It
was remembered, Is the original will pen
ned by the first president in Us restored
form.
Mr. Sherman expressed a desire to view
the historic document. The motorist in
quired the address of th clerk and bis
deputies. They were told that while on
of the deputies lived In Fairfax, the clerk
realded half a mile from the township. Th
party went to the home of tha deputy,
brought that official to the front door,
Introduced its member, and made Ha re-
(JUlitlt.
Can't open tha door of the court house
on Sunday," he Bald. "Door are all
locked, and it's against the rule to open
them." He remained adamant. Undis
mayed, tha vice president, determined to
gratify the wishes of his guests, directed
the chauffeur to drive to th home of th
clerk. A similar reception was accorded
the party at th latter placo.
Tho document in question was discovered
a few years ago in a heap of rubbish. After
it waa unearthed, tha torn sections were
carefully preserved. A short time ago gov
ernment expert stored the document, it
wa returned to th court house, and can
be viewed any week day.

The neck quite low-the aleeves quite h'sh.
A prude might think It shocking
To note as Susan passes by
A leash of silken stocking.
You'd never think as Pusle goes
Her mien nnd costume scanning,
She had a thoupht beyondi her clothes
And merely Mary-Annlug.
You wouldn't dream her purpose grand
Is Krn-emanclnatlon.
Or guess her life Is neatly planned
To irancnise consecration.
She calls on all the men she know
For votes for ladles pleading.
On every coat she pins a rose
With purring voice misleading.
She lets a convert hold her hand,

Aids Nature
The great succea of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicsl Dis
covery in curing1 weak stomachs, wasted bodiea, weak
lungs, and obstinate and lingering oougha, is based on
the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden
Medical Dtsoovery" supplies Nature with body-kuild-ing,
tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in eon
densed and concentrated form. With this help Nature
supplies the neoeasary strength to the atosaach to digest
foed, build np the body and thereby throw off lingering
obstinate eough. The "Diaoovery" re-eatabliahes the
digestive aad nutritive organs ia sound health, purifies
snd ettriehee the blood, and nourUhe the nerves in
short eetabllshM sound vigorous health.

Do Your Cooking in the Cool
A hot kitchen is little better than a prison in summer. But
the range is there, so all the cooking and the washing must bo
done there, too.
What a relief it would be to move the range where you
pleased. You can do this with a New Perfection Oil Cook
stove cook your dinner out on the porch, if you like. It it the
only range that is really portable that works eaually well in
any place. There are no connections to be madeas in a gas
range; no wiring, at with an electric stove ; no sooty flues and
ash-filled grates, as with coal or wood.
The long, enameled chimneys carry the heat directly up to
saucepans, oven or boiler ; you get full value from your fuel,
without waste.
