No, thank you, we would rather not have a railroad strike Just now. In the meantime, "patronize home industry" is a good slogan to stick to. Senator La Follette cannot say he did not make the most of that extra session. The freedom of the Cuban press is not one of the things they boast of down there. On thing Mr. Bryan has proved to the satisfaction of all Is that be ia no longer a boy orator. Anyway, our base ball fans always get their money's worth from the free bulletin score) boards. Two weeks gone and no deviltry re ported by Mr. Bryan on any of those democratic candidates. still, the Washington boarding house keeper was, as usual, pained to hav congress adjourn. ir uotcn a oes iacic a uttie wind, as Is reported, he might borrow a supply from some of his trainers. The ability of certain Illinois legis lative manipulators to "put 'em over" ought to make them effective base ball pitchers. A German cruiser is reported to be playing at war la Buzzard's bay. No body would care to it killing a few buzzards. Tho Bee's commission plan petitions put the machinery In motion, but the voters must finish the job at the elec tion next week. Three San Francisco girls swam to the Golden Gate and found the gate not abut against them. Three San Franciscans got in, anway. Reminder to the railroads and their employes: Before provoking a strike, remember the public Is the third and largest party to the controveray. A St. Louis judge says newspaper men are as honest as lawyers- If the newspaper men were to make that comparison between bench and bar it would be contempt of court. Mrs. John, Alexander Dowie pro poses to found a new Zion and place her unklseed son in charge of it. It la a great thing - to have your own Zion. Members of Omaha's school board, elected by the -people, are publicly resoluted to be not friends of the people. That settles It. Prepare to abdicate. inose lurmsQ nrigands nave a financial system all their own kid naping rich foreigners for ransom to make up a fund for carrying on the business. George W. Perkins will devote bis future to giving the country a "con structive business policy." It Is liable, then, to become a very rlcbJ country after all. It transpires that someone cast a populist ballot at the recent primary j la Douglas county, writing in names for local office How to account for the mistake will be a real puzzler. Wyoming ia taking a squad of Wash ington newspaper correspondents out to view the resources of that state as a publicity stroke. The Wyoming Idea is a good one. especially aa the newspaper men en route cannot help seeing Nebraska first. No Railroad Strike Wanted. pushing the democratic cgrt on the up Every demand of public right and!r, "ltn all seats reserved for the convenience protests against preclpita-j tlon of difficulties) between railroad employere and employes, now threat ening a atrlke. A 6trlke. throwing out of employment thousands of men. paralyzing business and making Inno cent vlcflma of the public, would be Intolerable and unjustifiable. No matter what the Issues are at stake, neither tide to the controversy has rights that are paramount to the rights of the people at large. Differences that cannot be settled peaceably can not be settled hostilely, at least not permanently settled. It takes two sides to make a dis pute, but It also takes two to end one. Neither side can reasonably expect the weight of popular sympathy, since neither side has taken the public Into Its confidence. The public la com pelled, fcr the time being, at least, to view them from an Impartial stand point. It aa yet sees no reason for dispute. There l,i a great lesson for our American friends In the way the Brit ish railroads and their employes ter minated tholr troubles the other day Everybody cn a strike resumed work, while conciliation boards took up the grievances from both sides. The con troversy is not settled yet, but both sides are pledged to stick to business until they are, which saves the public from the train of untold suffering and hardship which railroad strikes always entail. We on this aide of the water ought to be able to do as well and better. Anti-Trust Laws. What is the situation with reference to governmental control of the trusts? Are the anti-trust laws we now have Inadequate and new laws needed. Or are the laws we have effectual enough If only properly enforced? When the supreme court laid down its "rule of reason" in the two big trust cases, most people agreed that we had reached a common ground of determining the relation of the gov ernment to corporations and its power of regulation, and that In the future all similar issues should be met by this rule. But upon that general as sumption public opinion divided as to the wisdom and Justice of the rule of reason. One faction saw in it only larger special privileges for the trusts, while another viewed it as a safe and sane restriction. But already public opinion seems to have veered around in a new direction. Congressman Littleton may have re flected this Impression when he intro duced in the house his bill to bring about a sweeping inquiry into indus trial conditions with a view to enacting a new anti-trust law. Or does Mr. Littleton's bill reflect only one side of the case? It ia quite interesting- to note that, while Mr. Littleton is one of the newer generation of reform demo crats in congress, bit bill is effusively endorsed by such eminent figures in the corporation world as Mr. George W. Perkins. And this leads us again to a cross roads. Do Mr. Perkins and bis friends endorse the Littleton plan because they do believe or because they do not believe in the efficacy of the Sherman law as applied in the rule of reason? Mr. Perkins is so much in earnest that be has determined to devote his time to constructing a better business policy for the country. Perhaps, after all, it Is In the business policies, more than in the laws and their enforcement. that the chief difficulty lies. Surely If the master minds in the industrial world were to give to the govern ment's problems the same faithful thought and co-operation they give to the science of making dividends, it would help mightily to reach the right result. Only So Long as Needed. In his latest Commoner Mr. Bryan peases significant comment on the re lationship of the democrats and Insur gent republicans in congress, saying: Whether it was wire for the democrat to take advantage of the trick played by the regular republicans on the insurgents depends on the facts. The democrats will need the Insurgents In the next session and they cannot afford to be unfair even though the insurgents be too exacting at times. This is a real admonition to the democrats to keep on playing with the insurgents Just a little longer, because their help may yet be needed before the democrata gain complete control, after which insurgent demands may be safely spurned. In other words, democratic admiration of insurgency is limited to Its usefulness to promote the democrata to power and will cease as soon as that result is accomplished. Jf the regulars could be used by the democrats for the same end to greater advantage and effect, they would enter into an alliance with them, all with the secret hope and expectation of ditching their allies the very first chance. The democrats are playing politics all the time and their every move ia explainable only as a part of their political game. Here in Nebraska the democrats have been playing their band in pre cisely the same way. The "allied re form forcea" consisted originally of democrata and populists and so-called silver republicans, and the triple com bination was maintained just as long as the allies brought grist to the democratic mill. First the silver re publicans were sloughed off as no longer needed. Then the populists were gradually and steadily shoved into a rear place. The democrata were willing to divide even with the populists, as long aa tbey thought they might need them, but not longer Democratic sympathy and solicitude for insurgent republicans is of a place merely a bait to get help while dyed-in-the-wool faithful on the ride down. Stormy Controller Bay. Reports says that Secretary of the Interior Fisher was caught In a vortex of a terrific storm sweeping over Con troller bay upon bis arrival In that much-talked-of Alaska country. How natural and home-like It must have seemed to the secretary. He left Washington amid the din and turbu lence of a Controller bay storm and the last sound from the mainland that smote his ears as he sailed away from Seattle for the north must have been the low moaning of the distant winds. Controller bay Is truly a stormy petrel. One cannot read about It with out shivering a little. Yet one Is bound at times to feel that if it were not for crojs currents, the elements about Controller bay would not seem so tempestuous No supernatural powers are Imputed to Secretary Fisher and yet it is hoped, and be lieved, that after he has bearded the roaring storm Hon in his lair he will come back with the secret of his mastery. The country wants no more Con troller bay storms. It wants the calmer forces of reason 'and national welfare to predominate In Alaska and we mistake mightily the temper of the public If it is not even now prone to believe that the president has dealt fairly and Impartially In this matter, but that his actions and his motives have been mlsconstructed and distorted for political purposes. But let us have all the light possible on the subject, so that the Issue cannot be evaded and a rroper remedy found and applied to the situation, whatever It may be. One of Omaha's weak spots is Its lack of cheap and wholesome popular summer amusements for wage workers and artisans. The man who works hard all day 6hould have opportunity for relaxation and recreation In the even ing. And the year should not go by without an attempt to supply this de mand better. Omaha will have a group of distin guished lawyers at the American Bar association meeting, which will invite comparison sartorlally with the legal lights from any other city in the coun try. In fact, If they are given their dues, they will be pronounced hors du concours and put all competitors hors de combat. Still, Omaha's efforts to develop its manufacturing Industries should go right along without waiting for the cheap power which tve are promised by the Platte river canal promoters. Another pertinent question: Is the school board getting Its, money's worth on the investment made in the motor cycles for the automobile policemen? Both hides Hart. Washington Star. President Taffa reference to a veto as an unpleasant duty recalls the old assur ance that the chastisement hurt the father aa much aa It did the youngster. A Package of Thanks. Cleveland Leader.

Statehood ahould give a great Impetus to every section of Aiisona, to every city. toVn and industry. It should put enthuel. asm and optimism In the blood of every citizen of the new state and with every man, woman and child laboring to make of this a great and prosperous common wealth, the future of Arlaona Is assured. Another Stroke of Genlvs. Brooklyn Eagle. A senator who has remedies for every thing, an of them infallible, is out with another prescription. He would cure the Infirmities of the ghermaa law by so amending It that the corporation summoned before the bar of justice would have to furnish proof of Its Innoeence. with con viction as a consequence of failure. This would save a great deal of government time and money. AH that "the people" would have to do would be to allege re straint of trade and rest their case. And for the time-honored tradition that in this country Innoeence is assumed until rullt is proved mould come the reverse of that venerable proposition.

LAWYER'S RESPONSIBILITY. Peatnre of Trust Conspiracies that U Often Overlooked. Philadelphia Bulletin. Tha action of a federal Judge In a New York court in recognizing the greater offense of the lawyer who advised and franted the recently dissolved wire pool, as compared with that of number of tha trade who became parties to it as a matter of necessity or expediency, will strike a responsive chord in the public mind. In stead of the $1,000 fines accepted from tha members of the pool, the lawyer, who was Its brains, was fined $5,000 on each lndlot ment. of a total of $45,000, with additional costs. But even this was scarcely more than a fifth of the fee which ha collected for hla services. Whether or not this puaishment ade quately fitted the crime, it gives emphasl to the principle that the lawyer, who on his admission to the bar haa taken an oath to support and interpret the law In Justice and equity, takes on himself a greater re sponsibility than that borne by tha layman. It Is to be hoped that the United States district attorney carries out hia expressed purpose and moves for disbarment, for It would be well to have a spade called a spade for a time, and to have schemes for the evasion of thu law properly described as conspiracies, and tha responsible plot ters, even though they be distinguished members of the br, be held to account, as they would be If detected la such com plicity la any other less "polite" law breaking. , It is time that the bar, ltel& were brought to a fuller realisation af the re sponsibility it has assumed la landing its counsel and advice, its knowledge and ex perience in law, to ad In defiance and evasion of the statutes.

No spportlonment of credit for democ racy a triumph over the British House of Lords can be considered Just which Ignores the work of John Redmond and his loyal followers. The Irish nationalists had mora at stske in the struggle than any other division of the allied party. Home rule was a practical impossibility so long as the tory peera dominated the House of Lords. All plans and all strategy neces sarily were directed toward one objective that of mending or ending the power of the peers. That objective was kept In view through all the trying and weary year since the eclipse of Parnell and the defeat of Gladstone's first home rule measure. Delays and trials and hope deferred were a crucibles wherein true metals were tested. Mr. Redmond's followers, the loyal and unflinching eighty-two. stood the test with admirable patience and fortitude. They withstood attacks In front and rear Enemies rose and fell In their own eamp. Jealousies all but rent the partv. Supposed friends proved more annoying and danger ous than open enemies. Motives were as sailed, and Inshllltr to accomplish the Im possible were employed to foment dissen sion and weaken support at home and abroad. Throughout the long drawn battle generals and privates stood by their guns, moving forward slowly but surely, loyally supporting the party which promised ultl. mate success, until the breach throuph which home rule mlrht be driven was ef fected. No finer oxamole of perseverance, devotion and sacrifice for the cause of leg islative liberty can be found In modern history. Progressive democracy the world ever Is heartened by ueh sagacious lead ership The cause It represents deserve success en Its own as well as on the m-r-Its of Its representatives. Self-srovernment for Ireland on eemal terms with Canada, Pouth Africa and t Australia Is the lest the ministry can offer those whose loyaltv mane the lords' veto possible. Lees would be a gross betrayal of party allies. Germany's Trained Lender. Germany had precise Information about the contents of the Moroccan bargain counter when It filed a lien on the port of Agadlr.

Organised labor', confidence in Pavld Lloyd-George, chancellor of the exchequer, is demonstrated now as It was in 1907, by the readiness of the striking British rail way employes to accept bis plan of media tion and arbitration. In both cases the in dustrial fabric of the empire was shaken, buainess activities menaced ' and most of the necessaries of Ufa Impounded by eco nomic war. ' Tha chancellor's success as a mediator four years ago was a factor In his recent success. Where others failed, he had the tact and ability to bring the warring elements together and guarantee an impartial and Judicial adjustment of labor's grievances. If legislation Is essen tial, Lloyd-George Is In position to make good hi pledge. That there exist a seml atarvatlon wag schedule on tha British railways la made clear by the statements of Americans who wer In London during the crisis. When engineers ware paid but O.T5 a day and conductors as low as $3.50 a Week, with $6 as an average weekly wage, the uprising had ample Justification. The readiness of the strikers to accept arbitration under thes conditions evi dence rare conservatism, and deserves to win. HiHta Oppo Americans. The expected is scheduled to happen In Persia. Mr. Morgan Shuster, the American employed to reorganize the finance of the country, Is opposed by Russia, whose machination on tha northern frontier are a plain a the ciax's face. Under the most favorable conditions, monarchlal land grab ber would frown upon an American in any other capacity hut that of s pander. In the Persian caae any flimsy old excuse would serve Russia's aeham of aggression. Hence It Is not surprising that Mr. nhuster's posi tion is made untenabl by Russia's opposi tion backed by England's support. At pres ent tb controversy revolve around the validity of tb law Investing Mr. Shuster with extraordinary fiscal powers. Late dis patches indicate the hopelessness of the task of contending against a combine of monarchlal schemers whose evident pur pose Is to hold Persia In the grip of the moneylenders and drain whatever pro ductive vitality remains in the country.

Holbrook Observer (dem V The Omaha Bee seems to be grestlv worried over the coming election. It Is afraid If the demo crats elect a supreme Judge or two this fait they win bost of it after election, and thi win annoy The Bee. Lexington Pioneer: Th Nebraska demo cratic state convention at rrmont turned Bryan down, while th pop stste convex tlon at Lincoln the same day refused te endorse sny one but Bryan. And still th democrats expect the pops to help pull their chestr.uts out of the fire Alliance Herald: Editor Mark of th Mitchell Index has discovered a reason why some merchants do ,iot advertise. He sys it's because they can't deliver the good We hadn't thought of It exactly that way before, although we hav often noticed that the merchants who are the most per sistent advertisers are generally the ones that have the best stocks of goods and are not afraid tc compare price. Fremont Tribune: It Is rumored that State Superintendent Crabtr. like hi predecessor, will resign to accept a more lucrative position In another state. A man cannot be blamed, of course, for making th most of opportunities to better his eon. dltlon: but th attitude of some state super intendents can hardly be said to lend dis couragement to a common carelessness of the .profession of teaching In regarding contracts lightly. Kearney Hub: Th Be's ataff eorre apondent at the national capital shows bow tha democratic caucus in control of mem bers from the south has been substituted for Cannonlsm, or what the regime upset by the Insurgents might have .been called It Is not a pleasing story for a republican or any other square-deal cltlsen to read, and If th Insurgent members of th house who contributed to th change are very much delighted they have very carefully concealed the fact. Grand Island Independent: Parcels post Is coming because It Is desired. If not de manded, by the great body of the public. The farming population of the country, and the laboring classes seem to be for It; and they compose a very large proportion of th electorate. It appear to b quite undeniable that two elements have led to this demand th high rates by the express companies-, as eomrrd with the rate for similar service In other coun tries, and high prloes resulting from com binations of the so-called middle men, even though it Is to be remembered that th country cannot well get along without the middlemen- The real problem Is th estab lishment of a system that shall be equit able and Just to all sections of th country. MR. BRYAN IN FILL CHARGE. 8ves Party Boosters Mock Time and Tronble. Charleatown Nw and Courier (dem "I know all of the leading men of th party, those who hava hindered and those who have helped it. When the times comes to name the man I will not be silent." So spake Mr. Bryan at Columbus on Monday. It was the selection of the demo crats of a nominee for the presidency to which h referred. Selection by democrats did we way? W stand corrected. It was the acceptance by the democrats of the nominee whom Mr. Bryan expects to choose for them of which he was talking. What a great and a wis man Mr. Bryan is, to be sure, and how fortunate th party which he chooses to patronise! It saves so much trouble. Nobody ever need worry about whom the democrats should put for ward so long as Mr. Bryan is with us. Either h will step forward himself as the standard bearer or else he will delegate some one else to do so. Champ Clark may wl etas his letter- writing. Joe Folk can retire his press agent. Aa for tha Woodrow Wilson organi sation, what shall it avail, or eke that of th Honorable Judson Harmon? Let Art. kansas and other states which purpose th holding of presidential primaries call them off. This is a matter about which no ona need give himself th least concern. When the time comas to name the man, Mr. Bryan will name him. Political Drift Nin million words were uttered In con gress during the special session, exclusive of "leaves to print" and bracketed ap plause. A booklet earrylag th "speeches of Chauncey M. Depew," delivered In mil. Is a solemn reminder that a statesman out of a Job must take some exercise. A democratic critic perpetrates this one on Governor Harmon: "He turned th of- flc we had given him Into a megaphone through which he listened to the voice of political ambition." Colonel J. Ham Lewis of Chicago Is bek from Europe, uncommonly well groomed and perfect sartorlally. The colonel is ready If not eager to respond to a call from Fairview or alsewher to give some style to the democratic national ticket. For some unaccountable reason a re former has been named for mayor of Phila delphia by the "organization" and certified by Senator. Penrose.
