A Heinous Offense.
Senator Hitchcock's dcnioi r.itic or
gan devotes much of editorial apace
to a fantastic screed credited to the
Lincoln Star, which he purposely
mlsbrands as "an Independent repub
lican" newspaper, well knowing that
the Star Is about as republican as
his World-Herald Is. The burden of
complaint Is a trumpet charge that
The lice, and its editor personally,
have sometimes supported candi
dates for office who polled majorities
In the Third ward. This heinous of
fense, in the eyes of our high-minded
senator, should tnako everybody
vote the democratic ticket this year,
although last year when its majori
ties were given to Senator Hitchcock
and his associates on the democratic
ticket. Third ward support was a vir
tue. Let It be known to all that The
Bee, aa a republican newspaper, ad
vocates republican principles, and
gives preference to republican can
didates unless they are palpably dis
honest, corrupt or unfit If republi
can or democratic candidates have
support or opposition from Tom
Dennlson or Walter Molso, Van All
stlne or Charley Fanning, or anyone
else whose help may be an asset or a
liability, no odium need attach to us.
Our preferred candidates whenever
nominated or elected must, and do,
command support in all the wards of
the city, and it is the majority of the
votes In the entire city or county, as
the case may be, that decides.
The offense which Senator Hitch
cock goes out of his way to charge
specifically against the editor of The
Bee Is that he sometimes advocates
and votes for the same candidates
that Tom Dennlson supposedly does.
Here are a few charges, however,
that have not been successfully made
against anyone by the name of Rose
water connected with The Bee:
No one by the name of Rosewater.
connected with The Bee, was ever
charged with selling out hla party
ticket for a pot of boodle.
No one by the name of Rosewater,
connected with The Bee, waa ever
charged with having a telltale slip
In the city cash drawer representing
stolen public funds.
No one by the name of Rosewater,
connected with The Bee, waa ever
charged with sharing the loot of an
embettllng state treasurer.
No one by the name of Rosewater,
connected with The Bee, was ever
charged with hiding behind the
statute of limitations to got away
from paying either an honest, much
less a dishonest, debt.
No one by the name of Rosewater,
connected with The Bee, was ever
charged with holding fast to a dollar
of stolen state money, which he
ought long ago to have put back.
Unfortunately, our democratic
senator can not aay the same for
himself.
There are doubtless many cttlsens
of this metropolis whose memories
are short, who, by refreshing them,
would learn much that la Important
to them as bearing on their political
duties.
Missouri's Political Twins.
Missouri, democrats are In a di
lemma over their twin presidential
candldaciea. Ex-Governor Folk has
the endorsement of the democratic
state convention of a year ago, there
fore the prestige of the state's back
ing; against that Speaker Champ
Clark throws his nominal leadership
of his party in the nation. Mr. Folk
la avowed In his candidacy, Speaker
Clark characteristically cute and re
ceptive, but nevertheless determined.
Folk's position is set forth in this
authorised statement:
The democrat of Missouri havs en
dorsed Governor Folk for the democratic
presidential nomination through their
chosen repreeentativea In convention as
sembled. This endorsement waa part of
the last democratic platform and was
accepted In good faith by a large ma
jority of the democrats of the state.
Thla action waa taken after full discus
sion before the people for six months
previous to the convention. Back of
thla endoraement. I believe, Is the will
of mora than St per eent of the demo
crats of the state. Mr. Clark, It will be
remembered, waa the chairman of that
convention. Every fair-minded man will
conct'uu that Governor Folk should be
given the atate'a delegation. The demo
crats of Missouri have spoken once and
they can speak again.
Clark's cunning statement Is:
My own opinion Is that ill offices, Including-
the presidency, belong to' the
people. The Missouri delegation to the
national convention belongs to the demo
crats of Missouri. I take it for granted
that they have abundant sense to select
such delegation aa they want and to In
struct It for their choice for president
In a convention or primary called for that
purpose. They cannot be deprived of that
right. No man ever declined a nomina
tion for preeluent by a great party, and
no man ever will decline such nomina
tion.
The Globe-Democrat has had a re
porter touring tho state on a political
mission, who finds that "Clark leads
Folk in this state lu the ratio of five
to one." A correspondent of the Re
public, the loading democratic organ
of the state, by way of contradiction,
says: "If there is a Folk man In
thU town, he Is not known."
Irrespective of this dispute, It Is
obvious that both the Missouri twins
cannot "have a solid home-state dele-
gallon .In th next democratic na
tional convention instructed for him
Drat. last and all the time. Candi
dates have been known to be nom
inated without the votes of their
own states, but It has been rarely
the case, and should one of them in
terfere with the efforts of the other
to capture the delegation, the suc
cessful candidate la not likely to be
'ii i r; i5i;i;:
Sufficiently prcilinpono'l toward his
rlVHl to turn over the delegation
when convinced, he tunnot win the
prize for himself.
Distribution of Wealth.
According to statistics Issued by
the census bureau, tho tendency of
wealth In this country Is toward dif
fusion, and. the Wall Street Journal
thinks, "perhaps more In harmony
with a prevailing conception of popu
lar right," socialism. The sum
mary of manufactures for 1909
shows an Increase of 45.39 per cent
In the total amount of money In
vested In manufacturing Industries
In the five years from 1904 to 1909.
The assumption is that roost of this
additional Investment was accumu
lated from earnings.
The figures show that the amount
of investment per Individual capital
ist increased 1 7.5 3 per cent and that
his Income Increased 12.81 per cent,
which, naturally, suggests the ques
tion, what of the Increase In wages
or salaries to the employes? The
per capita wages Increased 8.52 per
cent and the per capita salaries 7.41
per cent. The net earnings of the
manufacturer increased 34.06, while
the net earnings of the employe in
creased 8.33 per cent.
The capitalist, to be sure, has got
the better of the rise, but it cannot
be denied that the workman has
done fairly well and, going further,
one finds that In that same period
there waa a growth of deposits In
savings banks of 21.02 per cent.
The workman is usually the patron
of the savings bank. Therefore, the
workman Is able to lay away some of
his earnings, evidently, even In times
of high cost of living. Yet there Is
that 45.39 per cent Increase In the
capitalist's total investment. It con
trasts rather boldly with the savings
bank deposits' Increase. This has to
be taken Into consideration, though,
that organization and professional
economy give the manufacturer a
great advantage in the art of accu
mulation over the Individual wage-
earner. In spite of the disparage
ments In the surface percentages, the
wage-earner Is doing far better than
he had done and the tendency of the
distribution of wealth is not unfa
vorable to him..
Freedom for Indians.
Action was taken at the recent In
dian congreea at Columbus, O., to
promote plans to abolish reserva
tions and government paternalism
over the redman, In fact, looking to
the Indian's "complete freedom."
This Is a misnomer, of course, for the
Indian has his freedom and haa had
it. He is not a serf or a slave and
haa never been In any aort of bond
age under thia government.
But the government can not let go
of its protectorate over the Indian all
at once and abandon Its reservation
system and paternalism. Under this
system the federal government haa
done all that has been done for the
redman. Today he stands, wherever
he shows himself fit, on a level with
th white man. He sits in both
houses of congress, In chairs of col
leges and unlveraities, In the high
places of every calling. His skin or
his race haa never shut him out.
When he haa been shut out, It haa
been due to hla own deficiencies and
failures.
So, for the Indian, as fast as he
shows himself worthy and fit, the
government removea all restrictions
and lets him Into the life of full citi
zenship. It would be wrong to the
Indian and wrong to the government,
though, for this promotion to be
made before the Indian is capable of
taking advantage of It.

Criticism. ot Well Takes.
OMAHA, Oct. 20. To the Omaha Bee:
My attention has bppn called to an article
quoted from the Lincoln Star severely
criticising the Omaha Land shew as a
cunning scheme to dlvprt population from
Nebraska and the middle w-put to the Pa
cific coast, esppclslly to California,
Washington and Oregon. No one should
resent Intelligent criticism, but In this
article, intelligence la conspicuous by its
sbsence.
Aa an exhibitor from California, I con-
alder the Omaha Land show an effort to
continue the trend of population from the
eastern border of the United States to
the middle west and western coast, and
thereby prevent Its movement Into Can
ada and the British possessions.
Nowadays, people, to do business, must
advertise, and people must advertise
where their advertisements will be seen.
That Is the reason why the people of the
western portion, of our country are com
ing east to Omaha, Chicago, Pittsburgh,
New York and other cities, to exhibit
their resources. We don't necessarily ex
pect to take people from Nebraska to
California. Nebraska is the key state
between the east and the west of the
United States. Omaha Is the key city
of Nebraska. A very large percentage of
the Immigration of the United States
passes through Nebraska and the city
of Omaha. California. Idaho. Montana,
Oregon, Washington and other states are
endeavoring to secure their share of this
immigration. We are not relying on the
people of Nebraska to furnish immigra
tion but we are not rofuslng homes to
any dissatisfied residents of any state.
As a resident of California for many
years and a atrong believer In Its re
sources, I am constantly surprised In
finding In other states much that Is equal
If not superior to my own state, which
makes me realise the truth of the ob
servation "There are others."

OMAHA, Oct' 20To the Editor of
The Bee: In expending the $200,000 re
cently voted to complete and furnish the
new court house our county commission
ers should not overlook the matter of
Interior decorations. Thia building, both
in size and architecture. Is a credit to
the county and will meet requirements
for many yeara to come. During thla
time literally millions of people, citizens
and strangers, will pass through Its spa-
clous corridors and rooms, and It Is
therefor proper and consistent that the
Interior should be as beautiful as the
sis and architecture are Impressive. It
should reflect the taste of the community
as well aa express Its artistic aspirations.
All over the country new public build
ings, state houses, court houses, libraries,
etc., are reflecting the progress' of the
taste of the people in beautiful Interior
decorations, the crowning features of
which are mural paintings don by art
ists of fame. The history and destiny of
the state, county or community are her
expressed in allegory with an elevating
effect that cannot be obtained by lan
guage. Some mural painting should by
all means be Included in the scheme of
Interior decoration of our new court
house and our county commissioner
should b encouraged to make generous
provisions for this purpose.

Aa to True) Rellarloa.
To the Editor of The Dally Bee: Gen
tlemen are discussing the question of
religious toleration, which la an evasion
of the contention orglnatlng In thi
assertion made by Rev. Mr, Gannon, that
"Roman Catholicism Is the true religion."
Why such an evasion; why do not gen
tlemen discuss the question raised by
Rev Gannon or ask Rev. Gannon to as
sume the burden of proof, that Roman
Catholicism Is the true religion.
Ths question of a true religion is so
very vital to mankind that every one
should give It the most searching and
Intelligent analysts. A true religion Is
essentially a religion of truth.
Truth properly defined Is the actual
state of being, which stata la known
only to that creative Intelligence that
brought it forth. This creative intelli
gence being the absolute and infinite
wisdom of the Creator, truth becomes
Impossible to the comparative and finite
wisdom of man. I, therefore, contend that
Roman Catholicism Is not the world's true
religion, and Is not even a true religion.
The world does not possess such a
phenomenon. Every church dedicated to
the worship of God has in its religious
teachings comparative truth In proportion
to the intelligence of Its worshipers to
conceive God. And, as Catholic worship
ers do not possess a perfect or an Infinite
Intelligence with which to conceive God,
Roman Catholicism Is Ilk every other
religion; a religion of comparative truth,
and It must stand alike the test Imposed
by the words of Christ, "By their fruits,
y shall know them," (the churches).
From the premises of Christ's words Rev.
Gannon, must accept the burden of proof
that Roman Catholicism Is the true re
ligion. Historical criticism establishes as
an Inoontrovertable truism, that no na
tion haa ever risen above its most domi
nant religious teachings, therefore, an
Intelligent analysis of this religious phe
nomenon, as an interpretative formula
of a true religion will prove that the
cause that differentiates the nations h
the difference In their religious teach
ings. An unbiased analysis of this cause.
Illumined by the evidence of history, will
force upon Rev. Gannon, to say, why
Catholic nations are so disrupted, illiter
ate, distressed, discontented and retro
gressive, under Roman Catholicism, the
religion he claims to be the true religion;
while protestant nations are atable, liter
ati, contented and progressive In all the
c'.cn-.cr.ta of human development utwter
protestantism, the religion he declares
to b fiilse. It being self-evident that a
nation wilt progress intellectually, re
ligiously, morally and materially in pro
portion to the truth of Its religious
teachings.
Mr. Editor, I prefer to accept the un
biased verdict of history, so well sup
ported by the words or Christ, "By their
fruit, ye shall know them." (the
churches), rather than accept tb asser
tion of Rev. Gannon, supported only by
religious bigotry and Intolerance.

A FABLE.
8. E. Klser In the Record-Herald.
A gleaming pebble lay beside
An scorn In a field;
The pebble was possessed of pride
That never waa concealed;
To more explicitly explain.
It viewed the acorn with disdain.
"I'm white and smooth," the pebble said,
I glisten In the sun;
Your color Is a dullish red.
Your day will soon be done:
For ages I have dazzled here;
You soon will rot and disappear.
The pebble, boasting day by day,
Its neighbor viewed with scorn;
A season slowly wore away.
And then a sprout was born;
The pebble, lying close at hand.
Looked on and did not understand.
Year after year th8 sappling grew.
Its healthy branches spread;
Its leaves above the pebble blew
And stained Its dullish red;
Deep in the mold concealed at last.
The pebble's foolish pride was past.
MORAL.
Those whom we treat with scorn may
grow,
Develop and expand;
There is so much we do not . know
And cannot understand;
We may by those whom we decry
Be overshadowed by and by.
