to bgin "explaining."
Laurier Center of Attack.
It looks now as If I'rernlsr Laurier
of Canada must stand or fall with rec
iprocity. On that iasue he has slaked
the continuance of his leadership, and,
at the age of 70, he rould scarcely
hope to regain bis power should defeat
be the answer of bis appeal for popular
support of his trade agreement with
the United States. The venerable prime
minister Is making a vigorous cam
paign, going into the "enemy's" coun
try himself on the stump to meet the
strongest foes of reciprocity, who are
equally determined in their opposition.
The fire, which burns hottest In
the old provinces, reaching Its climax
In Quebec, has been centered on Lau
rier and his opponents are combining
straightforward objection to reciproc
ity with political strategy and a good
deal of pure sophistry. Nor are they
overlooking the highly expedient of
appealing to prejudice and passion by
raising the bogle of annexation as only
an advanced step from reciprocity.
Right here, however, Is where careful
analysis of the antl-Laurier campaign
reveals Its Inconsistency. Tho premier
Is charged with betng too imperialistic
for Canada's good, Henri Rourasal, the
opposition nationalist leader, declaring
that he betrayed Canadian independ
ence to Great Britain on a former occa
sion. Such a charge, to which the
premier's only answer Is "wilful liar,"
scarcely plumbs with the other one.
that he is seeking now to promote an
nexation to the United States by ad
vocating reciprocity. If he were too
Imperialistic, he certainly could not be
favoring annexation.
Americans looking on must take
quiet satisfaction In discovering that
their even-tempered neighbors to the
north can get quite as fiercely wrought
up over politics as we can. When the
prime minister of the Dominion finds
it necessary to call the opposition
leader a "wilful liar" It Is evident
that popular feeling' has reached the
boiling point. Those who feared Cana
dians would not take a hearty interest
In this question have at least had their
apprehensions allayed.
Whv Soldiers Quit the Army.
General Frederick D. Grant con
fesses to inability to explain why so
many enlisted men quit the army and
even buy their releases to do so. If
the reasons are Inexplicable to General
Grant, they must be so to civilians out
of touch with the army. The govern
ment recently instituted certain
changes in the detail of army regula
tions tending to lessen the rigid dis
cipline and increase the comforts of the
private soldiers to meet this very con
dition and counteract the causes of so
many premature retirements. It would
seem possible that the small pay of the
private soldier as compared with the
prospects in civil life had a good deal
to do with depleting ranks. The chance
of promotion is not sufficient to offset
what the private considers as his
handicap. Many young men, of course,
are attracted to the army by the
glamor of a military career and when
the newness Is worn off the war spirit
naturally dies down and allows ambi
tion for success In peaceful pursuits to
supplant the old ardor. The govern
ment evidently takes this view of the
case and has determined that if It is
to maintain Its military forces on the
basis of high personnel it will have
to do more to equalize the oppor
tunities in the army with those of
fered young men In other walks of
life. Such a condition Is not to be
wholly deplored, for It naturally must
lead to the general improvement of
our American army life. '
The Tramp Evil.
According to James Forbes, director
of the National Association for the
Prevention of Mendicancy, 250,000
men are tramps in the country today
because they choose to be. He says
the number is on the Increase rather
than on the decrease. MrN Forbes, who
Is regarded as the best authority 'we
have on this subject, considers the
tramp a national menace and offers
some good evidence to prove his point.
For instance, he declares that from
trampdom come many, if not most, of
the criminals In and out of the peni
tentiaries.
The unfortunate workingman forced
to seek employment on the byways Is
not to be confounded with the profes
sional tramp. The tramp is a man
without visible means of support, or
desire for it, trying to live entirely in
listless idleness. Tramp conditions
could not help but breed crime. No
argument Is needed, therefore, to con
vince people that the tramp is a big
element in criminality as well as
economic waste.
Moreover Mr. Forbes finds that
trampdom recruits its army largely
I from the ranks of boys with "energy,
imagination and a healthy thirst for
adventure," and that such boys are
found to a large extent In what are
known as "railroad towns." There he
would begin his movement for curbing
the tramp habit. He would do this by
! a course of education among the boys,
employing moving pictures and other
means of setting forth to them, as
vividly and convincingly as possible
the evils and perils of the tramp life
before It has effectually appealed to
their fancy.
In theory the preventive remedy
seems promising. Certainly, society
letting him see without feeling by
experience what an undesirable exist
ence a tramp leads. Yet, that
will not get rid of the tramps we
already have on hand, nor, perhaps.
readily tvru all boys away from the
attraction of a roving life. The prisons
and workhouses still will have their
part to play for those who Insist that
society owes them a living without any
return.
The Hidden Reaion.
The long-promised suit to contest
the appropriation mado by the late
legislature for the erection of a build
ing at Omaha for the medical depart
ment of the State university baa at last
materialized in an application filed In
court ostensibly In behalf of the so
called homeopathic school of prac
titioners. We msy as well have this
question settled now as later, but there
Is no good reason why the Issue should
be befogged.
The pretended objection to the ap
propriation is that it purports to use
public money for medical education of
a particular brand without giving
equal recognition to all the other
shades and variations of the healing
art. If thlB argument were good, Ne
braska, nor any other state, could ever
conduct a medical school in connection
with its university unless it gave equal
course of Instruction for allopaths,
homeopaths, eclectics, osteopaths, men
tal therapeutists and all the others.
But the real objection does not go
to the teaching methods of the medi
cal school, but to the fact that the
building provided for is to be erected
at Omaha Instead of at Lincoln. If
in making the appropriation the law
makers had favored the state capital,
it is almost certain no such suit
would have been Instituted or even
thought of.
A Questionable Proceeding.
While The Bee. Is thoroughly In
sympathy with every move calculated
to allay the labor troubles that seem
to threaten a railroad strike, we can
not help regarding the intrusion of
of the Omaha Business Men's associ
ation with unsolicited advice to the
unions as a decidedly questionable
proceeding. The advice may be sound
and prompted by the best of motives,
but the fact that it emanates from an
association of employers defiantly hos
tile to organized labor will not
strengthen the argument with the
unions, but op the contrary is more
likely to make them suspicious and re
sentful. Another point entirely overlooked is
the fact that the tension between the
railroads and their men is by no means
local to Omaha. The Omaha Business
Men's association has a right to ex
press its opinion If it so desires, but
so have the business men's associations
of Fremont, North Platte and Cheyenne
a proportionately equal interest. The
action of the Omaha Business Men's
association, It ' strikes us, is apt to
solidify all the local labor organizations
on the other side, and Instead of help
ing to get together to make It 'more
difficult to secure mutual agreements
or concessions.
Check Them Up Again.
The terrible moving picture disaster
in Pennsylvania, crushing out the lives
of twenty-five helpless women and
children, suggests that otter cities, and
especially Omaha, check up again these
amusement places to make sure against
unnecessary fire risk and stampede
danger. Most moving picture estab
lishments in Omaha are installed la
buildings erected for other purposes,
and poorly adapted to their present
use. They are patronized largely by
women and children, just as the one
where the awful accident occurred,
and the demand for careful operation
and unobstructed exits Is imperative.
It will be a great deal better to close
up a few flimsy picture concerns than
to hold a coroner's InqueBt on 'the vic
tims. Wonder If It would be too much to
expect the street railway company to
give the "White wings" a new coat of
whitewash before the big and little
postmasters from all over the country
assemble here.

at Ninth and Farnam, and worked very
satisfactorily. The second trial waa made
at Eleventh and Farnam streets. The fire
men experienced no difficulty in sending
a stream over the top of Crelghton hall.
The pressure on the mains burst only a

Quite an accident occurred about
o'clock on the, lower track of the Union
Pacific. An engine with cars attached
had reached the Ninth street grounds,
when Its further progress waa prevented
by several cars running down grade In
an opposite direction without an engine
attached. The trains collided, and one of
the freight cars was pretty badly dam
aged. Tha accident prevented street cara
from crossing Ninth street for nearly half
an hour.

did anything one of them was captured as

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.
Gerlng Courier: If section of the
Cobbey statute was enforced we would not
need any other source of revenue, and
might even wipe out all otner taxes. Peo
ple who let their mouths run away In a
stream of etias words ought to pay for
It, anyway.
Nebraska City Tress: Commenting on the
success of a certain coterie of republican
candidates In Douglas counsy the esteemed
and truthful World-Herald says It was a
"Vlo Rosewater victory." all of which leads
our friend. Senator Borenson, to surmise
that it waa a Harmony victory, which la
probably much nearer the truth.
O'Neill Frontier: If Mr. Harrington
turns his six teen-Inch gun loose upon Mr.
Harman, the democratic candidate for rail
way commissioner, there will be something
doing In democratic circles throughout the
state during the balance of tha campaign,
that will make the people forget that thla
Is supposed to be an off year In politics.
Rushville Standard: The last legislature
passed a resolution to hold a reunion at
the State fair. Twelve o'clock Wednes
day, September , haa been the time se
lected and the place to hold It In the
new live atock Judging coliseum. This
will give our farmers a chance to see
what a real legislature looks like.
Kearney Hub: Tha row In Omaha over
tha price of ice haa lasted all summer and
la still in progress, with the local Ice mag
nates demanding 25 per cent more than In
neighboring cities, acoordlng to Tha Bee.
There Is consolation, however. In the
thought that Christmas Is coming, when
the Ice man la a negligible quantity and
the ice magnate can use his Ill-gotten gains
to buy coal for the poor. Watch him.
Alma Record: The handwriting on the
wall was plainly visible to the naked eye
In the election returns from Omaha and
Douglas county on railway commissioners
on the democratto ticket. W. J. Furse, the
appointee of Governor Shallenberger, ran
away behind Harman, the Holdrege man,
and it Is the general opinion that this In
dicates the attitude of Douglas county
towards the ex-governor as a senatorial
candidate.
Central City Republican: Now that there
Is no Immediate need of his deceiving the
people, Elmer J. Burkett, ex-senator, has
thrown off the mask, and Is one of the
most rampant standpatters and antl-ln-surgents.
However, while It Is all plain
now, there were few people who were de
celved by the straddling of Burkett an
Brown. The people have these big progre
slves properly catalogued, and have an ef
fectlve way of disposing of them.
Beatrice Express: "We are advertised by
our loving friends." Mike Harrington ex
poses the railroad record of Mr. Harman,
democratic nominee for railway commls
aloner, but professes to be a firm friend
of Mr. Shallenberger, democratic candidate
for the senate next year. But Harman
and Shallenberger are so closely associ
ated that an exposure of the one reflects
no credit upon the other. Mr. Hh alien -berger's
friend, Mike, may yet seriously
embarrass him before the voters of the
state.
Geneva Signal: Mike Harrington wrote
a letter denouncing C. E. Harman of
Holdrege aa a railroad capper and warn
ing the democrats of the state not to
nominate him for railway commissioner.
The Signal expressed the belief that Mr.
Beebe of Oaceola would be the best can
dldate for the republicans to nominate
for railway commissioner. Mr. Harman
waa nominated by a handsome plurality.
Mr. Beebe got only seventy-four votes In
thla county. The pee-pul don't seem to
pay much attention to Mike and us.
Columbus Telegram: The most unfor
tunate man In all the wide world la the
sore loser In the game of politics. When
he loses a political race, instead of accept
ing the result gracefully, even though his
heart may be bleeding, he thinks he must
carry his troubles to the ear of every man
he meets, and the result Is that he makes
the situation distressing to his real friends
and pleasing to hla enemies. All the world
loves a cheerful loser, whether it be In the
game of war, love or politics, and all the
world la weary with the man who cannot
play the game and smile.
Central City Nonpareil: The World-Herald
aeems to have been "hoist by its own
petard," whatever that means. Anyway,
when It jumped onto Bryan for his criti
cism It forgot that the information from
which he waa speaking had been printed In
Its own columns. Now, Mr. Hryan says
that If he was wrong the World-Herald
waa wrong first and he will correct his
statement as soon as he finds a correction
In the World-Herald, which won t be very
aoon, Judging by the habits of that paper
In the paat. During the campaign last year
he said that the World-Herald waa unreli
able. Thla experience will not cause him
to modify that opinion.
Kearney Hub: From a condition of mild
mannered, maudlin sentlmentalism. the
Omaha News haa developed Into one of the
most vlcloua "yellow" Journals In the
country, running a close second with the
Appeal to Reason, and stirring up patsslons
that can find a logical outlet onlv in
anarchy or revolution. In the movement
for popular government, the News declares
that "over all Is the shadow of the supreme
court," which must finally pass on the
questions aa to whether "government, of
and for the people, la republican form of
government." The Insinuation Is that the
supreme court of the land will throttle all
these popular movements, and the sug
gestion la so Infamous that It may well
make honest cltisens shudder, It Is so
sinister and suggestive of things unthink
able! Happily the supreme court stands
between the demagogue and the constitu
tion, between the mountebank and the
rock of the republic. And when the last
barrier Is broken down, when the court
are powerless In the clutch of popular pas
sion or political clamor, the government
of the fathers will have disappeared and a
tribunal pronouncing its decrees from day
to day, at the behest of a fickle mob, will
have replaced it.

A DAY WITH YOURSELF
Baltimore American.
Think of It some time and make up vo
mind
To trv spending a dar with you-sclf:
Off in the quiet away from the grind.
The struggle and striving for pelf.
Go out In a peaceful, still nook that yo
know.
Somewhere that life's sweet for the sou
A.nd find how It goea te be Just what o
are.
To see yourself truly and whole.
It does the heart good and scatters th
clouds
Just once In a while to be found
Far off In some hamlet of holy content
With no one but yourself around.
It gives you a chance to go over yourself,
To talk over matters of note;
To lift from your own eyes the beam tha
Is there
Ere you take from your neighbor's th
mote.
It's better than flocking with crowds o
the shore,
Than traveling with throngs on th
street;
There are so many thoughts that yo
never thought of
That it'a mighty sure pop you will meet
And so many thoughts win reveal man
faults.
And you'll wonder how ever they grew;
Oh, try It, the habit of taking yourself
And go spending a day with You!
