Hackenechmldt comes over with the sam boast as before "I am in perfect condition and can't lose." It was only after the other battle that he found out differently. Th golf tournament, Ilk th tennis tournament, Is getting Omaha into th newt columns of the eastern papers. That Is one way to underscore Omaha on th map. The Lincoln Journal renews its sug gestion that what alls our direct pri mary Is plurality nominations and that the remedy is first aud second choice voting. Next. It is tafe to aay that most of our Judges are convinced that the necessity of seeking re-election every four years quite answers all good purposes with out any intermediate recall campaign Why should those aviators insist On making their cross-country flight to the east?

I Th candidates wo asked for votes setting forth as One reason that they "have always supported the republican ticket," will hardly go over to the enemy, because they do not happen to have landed th nominations they sought. Th Houston Post pictures tbe trust ks a big, burly fellow with his thumbs pinned under screws, . whll a mild mannered old man, labeled con gress, stands and qulsses him. The big fellow, of course, could not be George W. Perkins, who was so promptly excused from answerlrg all Questions he did not care to answer. The British Railroad Strike. Distance and details naturally make Indistinct to Americans the merits of the railway strike in England, but they do not tend to belittle the Deri ousnets of the problem. The liberal government, with th strain of an un settled conitltutlonal struggle still upon it, will certainly find its re source taxed to the extreme In Its at tempt to evolve a peaceful settlement out of th present situation. Unless Quickly settled, It I destined, report! say, to becom the greatest conflict between capital and labor England ever experienced. Economic condi tion place the industries of England almost completely at th mercy of un interrupted railway transportation, so that in the event of a general tleup of the railroads, Industry will be posi tively paralyted. Th Situation, owing to the govern ment's relation to it, recalls the French railroad strikes of last year, which wrecked a ministry and overturned the government for the time being. But the two are not analagous, since Prance, like all other continental (European countries, owns its rail roads and England does not. Its liberal leaders might, for that matter, take a less active hand In the situa tion. Should they fall Id their attempt at peaceful determination, the effect would not at all be what it was In France, however much it might tend to depoputarls the Asqulth ministry With Its already Innumerable army of unemployed In all of Its great cities, England certainly faces a grave crisis If this Titanic struggle between capital and labor comes to Its fruition. That the government appreciate this at the outset I mor than reflected in Us early dispatching of large troops to re press th aggressive movements of striken. And yet In this very expedi ent lurks the essence of perilous com plications. Th railroad employes, like host of other wage-earners in England, feel that they have been tin fairly treated and paid. They feel that English railroads, taking the cud from those in the tin l ted States, have been increasing their tonnage capacity and lowering their cost of operation without a corresponding appreciation Of wages. Thl Id partially borne out In th book on "Transportation in Eu rope," published by Logan G. McPher son of Johns Hopkins university in 1010, in which he says: It should also be said that In recent years Many ef the railway have mad vigorous effort to increase their train-loads and to lower the costs of operation in other ways. As a result, the avsrag. receipt Der freight-train mils have Increased year by year for eah et the last ten years. Many cars of fifteen and twenty tons and some of thirty tons havs Been placed in service. Th railroads, with their new sys tems of management have been en larging their earnings, like the gov ernment, with Its new systems of taxa tion, has been swelling it revenue. A general prosperity has been experi enced, in which, labor fdelk, it baa had too little a pert. Under such slow forming conditions, a speedy termina tion of thl conflict It k good deal to expect. No Salaried School Boardi. Mayor Qaynor of New York advo cates th reform of making school board, membership a salaried position, lie Will not have to go far to find op ponent to his plan. Many leading educators have expressed adverse views. It there wer any practical way of getting at publid sentiment on this question, w imagine it would be found to b very strongly against the Qaynor idea. The feeling that the schools should be kept a free as possible from the lure of money, we believe, would impel most people to resist the project. Mayor OSynor irgbSS that members of school boards give of their time and energy the best they have and enough to warrant material recom pense. Grant it. , Unless It can be shown that the schools could be better managed under th direction of a salaried board, his contention i worth less, for the school' interests should be kept paramount to those of any individual or body of individual, Paying the members of th board would oe lowering the office to the level Of politics and inviting for it the same scramble that ensues over every other public place with a salary at tached. Inevitably this would attract a class of men who would spufa th position without pay. That of Itself would seem to show conclusively enough that it were possible to get a better grade of boards under th present nonsalkry system. Under ordinary circumstances, where there is no pay to the place, it is the conscientious citizen, with the wel fare of the schools and th community set abov personal aggrandisement, who gives his services to this Impor tant work. And what man, no matter how much time and energy he give!, cannot find a satisfactory compensa tion In it? Every Individual owes more, anyway, to the community than he can repay. He gets more out of the community than th community gets out of him and ought to be glad of an opportunity to serve it. Playincr Tricks in the Senate. More than all other warriors, Han nibal Is said to have possessed the faculty for doing the thing his enemy least expected. It mad him a formid able foe. Vivid reminders of this old Carthagenlan captain must have flashed across the minds of the Insur gent host In the senate when th regu lar republicans sprung that strategy la th form of an overamended cotton bill that, as suddenly as it cam, split th coalition of th Insurgents and the democrats, forced the latter Into th arena as th Bourbons of th situation and left the insurgent allies to view the scene in helplessness, whll with ex asperating coolness th regular with drew or, staying, refused to vote. From the description, it must have been on of th most spectacular par liamentary moves achieved in many days. Even th insurgents must ad mit that they fell easy victims to dem ocratic perfidy. In the twinkling of an eye, when they felt themselves, supported by their democratic allies, to be the absolute masters of the situa tion, they are betrayed In th house of their friends and sold for a farthing. The situation Is perhaps more amusing than It Is serious, but If It expedites the adjournment of congress It may prove to have a real value to the coun try at large. Hew York Central Merger. Th report that th New York Cen tral Railroad company 1 formulating a plan for the consolidation of all Its lines and subsidiaries within the state of New York under one ownership and general management has been prac tically admitted and therefor may be treated as authentic. If '.his merger is completed it wilt bring together under on official head 16,000 miles of track, 1140,000,000 of annual earnings and an aggregate capital of $1,200,000, 000. fcuch a combination, If consum mated, would doubtless have to square itself with the Sherman law in court. If the merger of the Union Pacific and southern P aciflo, still awaiting the de cision of the supreme court, should eventually be declared invalid, It would teem impossible for the New York Central deal successfully to run the gamut. It Is remarkable that notice or the proposed merger should be given out jus, at this time, al though, of course, it goes without saying that every effort will be made to satisfy technically the demands of the law. One point to be watched is whether It Is any easier to merge lines wlthia a state than to merge them when they traverse several states, as In the case of tha Hill and Harrlman roads. Per haps It is here that th Central relies on avoiding the obstacles that th other roads have had difficulty to overcome. The Usual Democratic Flay, The labored efforts on th part Of our democratic friends to impress de feated candidates in th republican pri mary that they have grievance to avenge by giving aid and comfort to th democrats is the usual play, rrom the tactical democratic viewpoint It 1 exactly th thing to do, because it is morally certain that th democrat will hav no show in th election in Douglas county this year unless they can create dissension in republican ranks and come in as beneficiaries of republican factionalism. Everyone familiar with democratic political methods la these parts know that no matter who was in th rspublt can primaries, the loser would hav had volunteered democratio consola tion. The republican who succeeds in landing on th ticket over Other repub Means always, if we would believe jphat IV. J .All ..A J - . . W . . iu democrat iwu us, uoo so uj uu fair means. According to democratio accounts, either th machine wins out ruthlessly and recklessly, inviting a re volt, or the machine is smashed to smithereens and sent to the scrap heap out of which Come threats to get even It is anything to pour brine into repub lican wounds and divert attention from the casualties on th democratio side Of th fence. It is a tru saying that th fortunes of political warfare af uncertain. Where many compete, only a few can wear the laurel. To hold its ground, a party has to fight Out Its own in ternal contests and then present a re united front against th common enemy. The Springfield (Mais.) Union car toons Senator Jo Bailey in the atti tude of "I resign again," labeled "The Texas Steer." But steers do not make that kind of a noise. Th Insurgents seem to have made the mistake of trusting their demo cratio allies when they hav been brushing up on parliamentary tactlCt. If Lorlmer Investigations contlnu with succeeding congresses, stenog raphy may yet becom on of the most lucrative of professions. Colonel Roosevelt laid off rom work a day when the news from San Fran cisco came, Does being a grandpa age a man lle that? Still, the wife of th man who com mitted tulcld "because she loved me too much," may not be held as parti cepa crlmlnis.

Tw year tha British Houa of Lord J contemptuously spurned th revenue measure of th lib eral government.

In these circumstance the government determined to place th burden of Increased taxation cn three principal sources of income land, Incom and Inheritances.

The veto bill, for th first time In cen turies, opens the door for such reform measures as th liberal party and It al lies may propose. The most the unionist peers can now do Is to postpone enactment for two year. Longer opposition I use less, inasmuch an act passed by the Common at three separate session auto matically become a law on royal assent, regardles of th wishe of the peers.

The task of accomplishing the essential reform fell to Premier Asiulth and his staunch as sociate, hd te them belongs the credit of enievlng a victory of surpassing Im portance to th democracy of Great Britain, "Few prime mimeter." com ments th London correspondent of the Nw Tork Tribune, "had ever achieved a mor brilliant victory or earned mor en thusiastic plaudit tor overcoming unex ampled difficulties.
