Same Democratic Chestnuts.
The speeches which Mr. Bryan is
making In Nebraska appealing es
pecially to "progressive" republicans
to break away from their party and
vote the democratic ticket, display
the same old Intense partisanship on
the side of Mr. Bryan. Although
laat year he essayed the role of patri-J
otic devotion In bolting the demo
cratic nominee for governor as too
wet, while at the same time support
ing other equally wet democrat for
other offices, this yesr be has gulped
down the whole, ticket, wet and dry.
reactionary and progressive, cor
poration and reform, without winc
ing. Everybody, and particularly the
"progressive" republicans, should, in
Mr. Bryan's opinion, rally to the
democratic standard, not because: of
any claimed superiority of the candi
dates or any vital Issue Involved,
but as a step toward democratic suc
cess in 112.
But why should republicans, pro
gressive, insurgent or otherwise, en
list at this stage of the proceeding
for democratic victory In HUT If
progressive' republicans were to
take Mr. Bryan's advice and vote the
democratic ticket this fall aa a pro
test against the administration of
Mr. Taft, could they claim the credit
of It and still maintain their standing
In their own party! And If tbey
were to turn democrats this year,
how would that help them In their
ambition to control the republican
organisation and, put their preferred
candidate at the head of the republi
can ticket next year?
No, Mr. Bryan's advice springs
from his own Inborn partisanship
the same partisanship that Impelled
him to take the atump for Parker
against Roosevelt In 1904, and the
same partisanship that alms to use
the Insurgent republicans in the
same way the democrats used the
populists and the silver republicans
merely to pull democratic chestnuts
out of the fire.
Fire Prevention Day.
Yesterday, In most states, was fire
prevention day, the fortieth anniver
sary of the great Chicago fire, al
though in Nebraska, however, the
state laws fix our fire day at a later
date.
We have bad flrea In this country
since 1871, that may well be held up
to all the people as warnings against
carelessness In the things that make
such conflagrations possible, but the
movement that haa led to these fire
prevention days springs from the
hope that we shall ceaseno have such
disasters. All the fine tslk that can
be reeled off to school children on
these anniversaries, however, will
not have the full effect desired.
School children are not the ones
chiefly respoaaible. Of course. It Is
well enough to teach them how to
protect their Uvea In the event of
fire, but what the movement must
do. to amount to anything. Is to teach
men who construct towns and cities
out of buildings that the first and
best fire preventive lies la the prop
erly-constructed building. . We may
here apply the old saw that "preven
tion la better than cure."
Kvery city and every sUte should
go In for clean-cut building laws and
when they get them on their statute
books they should enforce them.
That can be done without fine-spun
oratory. It must be done before our
national fire prevention crusade bears
Its best frujtage. How to fight
flames comes after how to prevent
them. Every time a fire-trap build
ing goes up within the fire limits of
a city a severe blow Is dealt this
movement. The first thing Ban
Praocisco did when It got the ashes
of ita $500,000,000 fire cleared away
was to lay plans for a fireproof city
and, though nature may decide at
any time to visit that city with an
earthquake, the chances are that
never again will aa earthquake wreak
such devaststlon as did that one In
106.
To the rebuilding of San Fran
cisco, or Chicago, rather than to the
destruction of either, may we look
for the really beet example to Inspire
us In thla concerted effort.
No Arbitrary Eulei for Dress.
An eastern railway company haa
Issued orders that all Its passenger
train conductors shall wear only
black neckties. The blue clothing
and brats buttons and caps were mot
enough to Identify them with their
calling.
While neither the conductor nor
the public may be able to see the
aense or aeed of such a ruling. It can
probably be enforced by the railroad.
No matter how much a conductor
may prefer a red, or yellow or brown
cravat, he must wear a black one.
Nor did the railroad deem It neces
sary to accompany Ita order with an
explanation, of reasons.
The fatal weakness of the agitation
for leas extravagance In the attire of
school girls was reached when the
faddist took It up aad began pro
posing a uniform drees for all sir la.
No one will question the wisdom of
more simple dressing by many school
girls, but It Is absurd to think of re
galing them all In one style of dress.
That cannot be done very easily In
this country, either with school air la
or school boys or anybody else, be
cause this Is a democratic country
where Individuality counts for a good
deal and Individuality la sunk In any
such system aa this. We can better
afford to sacrifice an arbitrary rule
than personal force of character
Our styles of dress, heaven knows.
have little to defend them, but If a
man, woman, boy or girl chooses to
look ridiculous it Is tbelr business.
Of course, for those who bow to
every particular fashion that comes
in, there may be little to be aatd
about Individuality and yet so long as
they regard It ss Independence on
their part, that should settle It.
The Last of Slavery.
Those who feel constrained for hu
manity's sake to deplore and de
nounce Italy's "unwarranted attack
upon Turkey," may possibly find con
solation In the fact that as sooa aa
Italy planted Ita flags and authority
on the shores of northern Africa, it
Issued a proclamation freeing the
slaves and suppressing the slave trade
throughout Tripoli, where the ac
cursed Institution has for centuries
flourished. Before western civiliza
tion can afford to plead Turkey's case
at the bar of public Judgment, It
should consider what has been the
Mohammedan's attitude for human
liberty.
One of the responsibilities reel
ing upon modern civilization Is
that of checking Turkish Intoler
ance. Long enough has It sat,
In Ita citadel at Constantinople,
and waged ita pillaging warfare
upon the world around It Bo
long baa It persisted in this course
that Its young men have revolted
and threatened to overthrow It, If
outside powers did not. The prin
ciples of war and of world peace are
not as closely Interwoven In this
Turko-Itailan conflict aa they might
be. At least, It is easier to Justify
war under such circumstances than it
would be between two powers that
recognized alike the rights of man.
Italy will be achieving a momen
tous triumph for humanity In over
throwing the last of slavery, but
that will be but one form of barbaric
cruelty and dark-ages intolerance de
stroyed with Turkish control on the
Mediterranean. Perhaps, It Is too
bad this turn of evolution's wheel
could not have been given without
war, but we might aa well make the
best of the results since the war had
to come. The outcome will make for
the progress of peace and civiliza
tion and, since. If war Is ever Justifi
able and righteous, It would seem
that there la auch an occasion.
A Call .for Ideal.
It seems that a lot of people
reached the conclusion at about the
same time that the street fair fea
ture of the Ak-Sar-Ben carnival had
not only outlived Ita usefulness, but
degenerated close to the intolerable.
The only really creditable attraction
inside the gates waa the exhibit of
Douglas county agricultural prod
ucts. Nothing else would be missed
If the street fair were abandoned.
If Ak-Sar-Ben needs something' aa
a revenue producer In addition to
Initiation fees and paid subscriptions,
some scheme of popular entertain
ment can certainly be Improvised that
will furnish decent amusement to
visitors supplemental to the parades
and court ball. Just what form this
should take must be decided accord
ing to experience and best Judgment
Suggestions volunteered by the gen
eral public should be In order, and
might help solve the problem. Now
Is the time for everyone with an idea
which he thinks Is worth having, to
submit It for consideration.

As was to have7beenexpected. Mr.
Bryan swallowed the whole demo
cratic ticket, including Harman for
railway commissioner, denounced by
"Mike" Harrington as a pass distrib
uter and a corporation tool. Mr.
Bryan evidently does not put so much
reliance on what "Mike" says as he
used to before the Grand Island con
vention. Or is It that Mr. Bryan no
longer pretends to be particular
about bis preferred candidates, Just
so long as tbey are branded with the
democratic label?

Admiral Schley and. His Loop.
Naval officers, says the. Washington
Herald, regard aa a valuable and accept
able contribution In the Schley-Sampson
controversy Admiral Chadwick'a recently
published hlHtory of the now famous
"loop" made by Schley In the Brooklyn
In the battle of Santiago. This "loop"
has been variously considered as a fine
piece of naval strategy and as a move
by Admiral Schley to avoid conflict with
the Spanish flagship Maria Teresa, Ad
miral Chadwick'a history puts the Inci
dent In a light entirely favorable to Ad
miral Schley.
Rear Admiral Nicholson, one of the few
officers now in Washington who partici
pated in the battle, waa a witness to the
celebrated "loop.'' Anent the Chadwlck
history. Admiral Nicholson said last
night:
"The Brooklyn had to turn either to
the right or left. It waa not material
which way ahe turned, and I have al
ways maintained -that Adm.lral Schley's
maneuver waa the only thing to do. I
waa navigating officer of the Oregon at
the time, and had a good Opportunity to
observe the actuation of the Brooklyn.
"Admiral Chadwlck bears out my pre
viously expressed opinion, and I think he
fully vindicates Admiral Schley's course,
If It had not been vindicated already In
the eyes of naval officers and the general
public."

with which, as a atudent under him,
Conan Doyle became familiar, and which
he afterward exemplified In the person
of Holmes, were merely, according to
Bell's clew, logical developments of the
faculty of observatioh, "directions for
acquiring which are to be found in every
good textbook of general medical prac
tice." That was modest, but only par
tially true. Directions for acquiring the
faculty may be found In every textbook,
but the capacity to use It Is not to be
found In every man.

They have made him walk a tight-rope,

But we're hoping he'll live through u. f

They have made him walk barefootetJl
where they scattered carpet tacks;
He Is wounded on his forehead where)
they hit him with an axe:
They have made him pass blindfolded
where a misstep meant his death, I
