Pa Rourke's boys should be gives a new chart. They are going all right, but in the wrong direction. Cities that have bureaus of munici pal research should be able to keep accurate tab on their officials. The city, hall gang worked nobly, but the strain of nominating two tickets proved too much for it. Ii is well that an athletic girl Is to marry young Vanderbllt. Perhaps she run make him toe the mark. Colonel Cody has discovered i the cradle In which he was rocked. Few ' men have such rare discerning powers. Kran Dewey has been a deputy a long time, and It Is only right he should have a chance at the county clerk's lob. A peripatetic pulpiteer says a bow legged man should not try to play shortstop. Does he mean to retire Hans Wagner? We have come to it at last Sena tor Bristow has a bill for the direct election of the president under the primary system. Two San Francisco women have un dertaken to swim through the Golden Gate. Chance for St. Peter to win a Carnegie hero medal. Old Mr. Orlm Reaper thought it about time to step In and show the aviators that he was still master of the air and sea, as well as land. In the election of James K. Varda tuan to the upper house, Mississippi will put another block between the senate and its ancient courtesy. Mrs. Anna Peck insists that walking a railroad track will fit one for moun tain climbing. Perhaps she thinks a fewrear-end collisions might Inure the the traveler the hazard of it. A subscriber to the New York World writes to that paper to say that "the whole world Is watching Mayor Gay nor." Under such survellance, the mayor should have little chance to ea ch pe. 1 Mr. Bryan says he once thought of being an actor. He might have starred in "The Tattler," since he has set him self on the watch tower to tell what he knows about every democratic can didate. ' That Johnson county murderer will evidently be convinced now of the truth of the adage that "murder will out." He covered bis tracks with nfucb Ingenuity, but his crime cried out against him even from the bottom of a well. The promotion of Judges Leslie and Crawford by . the voters in, regular order Is but a recognition of the merit system as applied to public office, These men made good In their posi tions, and are now being advanced to higher and more responsible dutlos Pleading: Peace, Training for War. One ot the things the adiulnlstra tion forgot to do when it promulga ted Its peace program was to cease building up the fighting resources of the nation. It allowed the general board for enhancing the navy's power to proceed right along with Its work just as if there was ever again to be sny possibility' of war. So now, aa the president turns from his international arbitration treaties to approve the plan of making the revenue cutter service an adjunct to the navy whose efficiency it will vastly increase, he may expect to provoke another outcry from those who spurn General Wash ington's maxim, "In time of peace, prepare for war." But the maxim Is all right. The na tion could not afford to ignore U at this stage In its history. It is not the time, while negotiating treaties look ing ultimately to world peace, to lay away our schemes for war and dis mantle our ships. It will be time enough for that when there is really no longer any danger or likelihood of war, and even the most rantankerous advocate of disarmament can offer no assurance on that score now. So the government, it would seem, does well to utilize this cutter service in this way. The Bcheme Is to equip and drill it with a view to Us use as both second line defense and a re cruiting depot for the navy. It was demonstrated during the Spanish American war that revenue cutters could be of great service to the ftghtr Ing navy, and Admiral Dewey, presi dent of the general board making this recommendation, which Mr. Taft has approved, feels that it is by no means to be regarded as an Experiment. He, himself, In Manilla bay, derived great assistance from the cutter, McCul loch. Model Congress-Made City. Numerous schemes and theories for improving municipal government, pro jected or tried out In this country, of fer a wide field of selection, for Con gressman Doremus of Michigan, who has Introduced in the house a measure to make Washington a model city in point of government. We are not ad vised that he has gone to any of these projects for his system, or whether it is entirely original with him. The lat ter is extremely doubtful, even though he has served somewhat as a city offi cial In Detroit. His bill contemplates that congress shall provide this model form of gov ernment for Washington and have supervision over it. Congress has done so many things that are not ideal or model as to warrant some uncertainty as to results here. It Congressman Doremus is skillful enough to draw a plan that will prove acceptable to, say, La Follette and Cannon, or Bailey and Murdock, then he may contemplate its success with satisfaction, but If the presentation of his bill means only the Introduction of the scheme In congress, then he has done nothing more than to invite a passing procession of all the fads and vagaries of Ideal municipal government that have come and gone in the last five years. How long It would take to evolve a satisfactory measure from this conglomeration of pet schemes, we doubt if the Michigan congressman would care to say. Aside from the well-nigh Impossible task of getting congress to agree on anything like a profitable plan of city government for Washington, the idea of converting the national capital Into a municipal experimental station is not commanding. It is not at all likely that Its example would be accepted by other cities as a model or pattern. Local conditions are too potent for that. If it were possible to set up such a model, Washington might be as good a place as any, for, perhaps, the people there have as little to say about city affairs as they have anywhere. Even admitting that it would be an easy thing to thumbscrew them around to amiable acquiescence In any plan devised by congress, it would not do at all to expect such negative assent from many other cities, where the peo ple do their own ruling, one way and another. Bad as it might be, they still Insist on doing It, not according to any set of blueprint plans drawn by an out side architect, but according to their own local whims and wishes. So, while the problem of municipal government calls for heroic action, has the Michi gan congressman offered the solution? , The Sick Bed in Rome. World-wide Interest waits upon each bulletin from the sick bed of Pope Plus X in Rome. Because of his high station as the pontifical head of a great church and his extreme age, 77, apprehension grows keener day by day, nor is it much allayed by the carefully worded bulletins Issued by the attending physicians, whose busi ness It is to minimize fear and stave off anxiety as much as possible. Plus no doubt Is known as one of the most beloved of popes; for his gen tle nature with Its benevolent Impulses and kindly sympathies for mankind, has forerun his influence to the quar ters of the earth. Called at the age of 65, from the metropolltanshlp of Venii-e to the papacy, be carried with him the sweet Incense of simple life, nurtured amid the soft beauties and bounties of Venetian out-of-doors. Naturally, the physical man took none too kindly to the exacting demands of sedentary routine, while though the spiritual roots sank deeper into the fertile soil of larger holy Influence only to develop and send forth more mellow fruits of peace and love. Judged by theee standards. Plus jc must go down In history asone of the most beloved of pontiffs, even though he does not take rank In matters of state with such great popes as Leo XIII. his immediate Illustrious prede cessor, whose relgn extended over a i most eventful period of twenty-five years. That the church of which he Is the head and all powers for good have been advanced in their sacred pursuit by the example and Influence of the holy father now reigning, the world will acclaim and so it will rejoice If, in the providence of God, age and bodily Infirmity may triumph yet In the present struggle with dicease and spare for many years to come this gracious man for a wider dominion of his gentle power. Douglai County Ticket Returns from the local primary elec tion show plainly two facts; that the republicans of Douglas county are alive to the importance of their situ ation, and that they discriminated carefully among the several candidates, making such selections as will present to the voters at the general election a ticket of unusual strength. The total vote cast Is an excellent evidence of thti interest felt, for the conditions weni not such as would induce the voters to go to the polls, except that they felt the urgency of the duty. In presenting Fred H. Hoy as tho party's candidate for sheriff, the re publicans have added much strength to their ticket. His qualifications for the office are established, and hi nom ination will have much influence in restoring republican supremacy In the county. For county treasurer the selection of W. G. Ure Is also to be much com mended. His record In the fight for tax ref :ns and better methods of local a; usments as well as his service as coun v commissioner, proves his ability to properly administer the of fice of county treasurer. The officers who were renominated are men who have proved their capacity and fidelity, and have the confidence of their fellow citizens. Douglas county republicans have selected a ticket that must commend Itself to the citizens as one worthy of support, and with ranks closed up, the victory in November seems certain. That Power Canal Again. Notwithstanding the fact that we have time and again built and equipped the 'Platte river power canal and set its machinery in motion (on paper), we are glad to know that the project is not dead, for here is our old friend Edgar Howard again advocating its construction at the earliest possible moment, this time by money acquired through the issue of state bonds. The grasping water power corporations have not seen enough in this enter prise to tempt them, but, as we are admonished, no sane person doubts that, some day the waters of the Ne braska rivers will be used to create electric power. Why, then, yield the great advantage to some grasping pri vate corporation? Why wait at all? The state of Nebraska is rich. It can well afford to build great water power plants on all the Nebraska rivers. There would be instant demand for the electric power, and It could be sold at great profit to the state, even at a rata so low that the manufacturers ot the nation would quickly come to Nebraska to take advantage of cheap power. And again In proof of real earnest ness: The Telegram simply gives notice that plans are on foot In many counties to elect next year a legislature whose membership will take the people's side of the question, and get things started In the direction ot building water power plants at Columbus, Fremont, Norfolk, Omaha, Kearney and other Nebraska points where conditions will be favorable. For thirty years men have said: "Nebraska would be a great state. If only we might manufacture the products of the state." We can get ths factories Just as soon as we can give them cheap power. We can give cheap power to the faotortes just aa soon aa we build the Water power plants on the Nebraska rivers. Now the power canal boosters are really talking. That looks more feasible than anything the nest-feather- lng promoters have ever said and it is at least worth considering. The regents of the University of Nebraska have set In motion the most practical way of testing the validity of the appropriation for the medical school at Omaha. A claim has been filed with the auditor against the ap propriation, and It will be held the proper length of time to give objectors an opportunity to contest. This pro ceeding will determine the validity of the appropriation, and will no doubt result In the money being declared available for the purpose for which It was set Aside. Jerry Howard not only has the cour age of his convictions, but the Justifi cation of his faith. His confidence In the existence of honest democrats Is shown by the vote he received.

On the register of the Wlthnell house appears the following: "Hon. J. B. Fin- ley, Pennsylvania." Tho prevailing opinion among people who saw this callgraphlc curiosity was that the subscriber was soms obscure squire from the back districts of the Quaker state where the mode of tran sit Is the conestoga wagon. If tho "Hon. J. B. Flnley thinks his title Is an extraor dinary dignity In this neck of woods he Is very much mistaken. Many men who have had the same prefix to their names are now summering at the stats penitentiary at Lincoln. Indeed, It Is a very common western title. The cathedral chapter of the Episcopal denomination has made Rev. T. O'Connell, late rector of St. Mary's at Nebraska City te district presbyter-at-large for the dio cese of Nebraska. This means he will bo general missionary In the state. The loss by the Western Newspaper union is estimated at about $11,000.

(Only It did not succeed.) The city council meeting had before It the matter of the new rules for the Board of Health. The discussion developed Into some very luminous fireworks and during the powwow Dr. Gapen called Council President Lowry a liar, even adding some thing more emphatic. Whereat snrans shouts of "Put him out," but nobody did It. These honorable councllmen answered to tho roll coll: Lowry, Bechtel, Blumer, Bruner, Burdish, Chaffee, Cooper, Conway, Donnelly, Elsasser, McLearie, Martin, Ost. hoff, Specht, Tuttle.

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT. j Kearney Democrat: localise Jim Dahl- man took a crack at Bryan, his picture In tho Baltimore Sun occupied about half of the front page. lloldrcge Cltlson: There Is enough truth to make It Interesting In this editorial par agraph In The Hee: "Every shot Mike Harrington alms at Harman hits .hallen berger." ( Hastings Tribune: Governor Aldrlch has announced that he wouldn't mind having senatorial honors. The governor can rest assured that there are others with the same feeling. York Times: The republicans and demo crats In congress played a game of base ball. Wo notice Nebtaka was not repre sented In the lineup. Still It cannot be denied that our congressmen have made soms of them "play ball" on the tloor. Kearney Democrat: The Uee, Mr. Bryan's defender, asks: "Will he accept the hint to unload upon someone else his attack upon Congressman Underwood? We doubt It." And Tho Bee probably was aware right then that Bryan wus going "to un load" upon the World-Herald,, which he did In a very bungling manner. Albion News: Instead of fighting repub licans, Bryan is now pretty busy fight ing certain brands of democracy. There ap pears to be a pretty bad mix-up all around. The simple term republican or democrat Is not sufficient to describe hardly anybody'a politics without a qualifying prefix. This will be the case untU there Is developed some distinct and Important issue. The parties are too near alike. About the only lesue Is "pie." Rushvills Recorder: When It comes to be a real progressive Insurgent. Norris Brown has some of tho old Insurgents skinned alive. Brown Is for revision downward, as a general principle, and If the Insurgents block the way he will do a little Insurglng of his own. This Idea of being a company of whipper-snappar Insurgents, to bite at tho heels of Taft and embarrass the ad ministration by hostile criticism Instead of beneflclent acts, has no attraction for Brown, it's a case of put up or shut up with Brown. Blair Pilot: Governor Aldrlch made a jcklng remark at the Epworth assembly about being willing to be sent to the senate at any time tho people wanted to send him. Some papers are already saying he has plunged into the senatorial race. Ho hasn't of eourss, and won't not this year. But two years from now, after Congressman Norris has safely landed, he will be the first man to get his clothes off and we'll be the first paper for him by declaring ourselves right now. Governor Aldrlch Is right all the way through and Nebraska Hants him in tho senate, after two more years as governor. Geneva Signal: Local merchants every where are convinced that the newspapers ought to be violently opposed to railroad wreck sales, parcels post bills and similar occurences of evil Import, but they are prone to forget that It Is only steady, con sistent advertising and reasonable orders for job printing that make it possible for any newspaper to keep a force of men together and provide facilities for the pro duction of a creditable newspaper. The newspaper that Is conducted on the hit-and-miss plan followed by so many mer chants in their advertising doesn't live very long and isn't worth much while it does live. ' Aurora Republican: But for the personal popularity of William Jennings Bryan In Nebraska, the democrats from thia stats who now occupy seats in congress would not be there. Every one Hitchcock, Latta, Lobeck and McGuIre owes his election to the Influence of Mr. Bryan In changing the political complexion of Nebraska, Had It not been for tho "peerless leader" this state would be today as safely republican In every congressional district as 1b any other state In tho union. And yet, when these democratic members of congress had an opportunity to show their gratitude by coming to the defense of their friend and political maker while he was being called a liar, a traitor and everything else but an honest man on the floor ot the House a few days ago by Boss Underwood of the democratic majority, not one of them raised his voice in protest. In fact, it is said that some of these men rushed for ward and congratulted Underwood upon his "manly attitude." Talk about political Ingratitude! Seems like It Is being handed out to Mr. Bryan in huge chunks. But it was over thus, In politics. EDITORIAL SNAPSHOTS. Washington Post: In order to settle this julep problem Doc and Ollie will havo to take a straw vote. Louisville Courier-Journal: Two Amer ican heiresses married chauffeurs on the same day. Let us amend tho old-fashioned "all tho world loves a lover" to read all ths world loves a chauffeur. Baltimore Airier lean: The society heiress who has excited exclusive circles by elop ing with a chauffeur says she Is ready and willing to wash dishes tor love's sweet sake. Tho love is real if it survives this supreme test. Sioux City Journal: Colonel Roosevelt re fused to permit a Japanese photographer to snap the Roosevelt-Togo meeting. Turning down a photographer Is a new stunt for the colonel. Is it possible It can have any political significance? . Chicago Record-Herald: President Simon Is reported to have taken 1100,000 worth of gold coin with him when he hastily de parted from HaytL Evidently he has no respect for men who are poor when they quit being presidents. Chicago Tribune: It Mr. Vardaman ax- pects the entire population of Washington to turn out to meet him, with brass bands, allegorical floats and other avldsnce of overwhelming joy and enthusiasm, when ha eomoa to the capital city as the senator from Mississippi, he is going to bump up against tho greatest disappointment of his career.

OMAHA, Aug. 16,-To the Editor of Th Hee. Some comment has been made to tho effect that the Interference of the Ds Moines Judge In the street railway there Is wholly without precedent. Thene commen tators have forgotten the orders Issued by the Judgt of the fcdetal courts of the west during the great Debs strike trouble In 1S!4 At Denver, for example, where the 8unta Fe was being operated under the direction of the federal court, being In the hands of a receiver, as was also the Union Pacific at that time, Judge Hallett of the federal court not only ordered engineers and trainmen to operate the Santa Fe trains, but It was reported at one time at Pueblo that a crew was taken from a Mis souri Pacific engine by deputy marshals and placed on a Santa Fe engine that a train might be moved from the depot. The only novelty presented by the Des Moines case Is that the order rests as heavily on the street railway company as It does on its striking employes. OBSERVER. It Would He Safe. OMAHA, Aug. 15.
