Police and Politic.
Senator Hitchcock's World-Herald
has dug up an editorial printed In
The Dee four years ago urging the
complete divorce of the police from
politics, and advocating a bill to that
end, drawn by the editor of The Dee
and Introduced in the legislature at
his request. Our editorial Is good
reading, the bent that has appeared
In the World-Herald in a long time,
and we reiterate every word of It.
Dut the Hitchcock organ Is in no po
sition to claim the benefit of clergy
under It for Itself or for any of its
democratic favorites. Had the demo
crats come to the support of the bill
at the time, it would have become a
law, and members of tho police board
would have been prohibited from be
coming candidates for office. Dut
tho democrats, aided and abetted by
Mr. Hitchcock's paper, beat the bill
because the police commission at that
time wbs counted by them as their
political ally.
The Dee has always believed and
now believes that the police should
be kept out of politics, and for that
reason stood firm against the elec
tive police commission, which Son
ator Hitchcock and his democratic
legislature saddled upon us over The
Dee's protests. When that subject
was being agitated Senator Hitch
cock's newspaper said:
The people should have a right, as they
fit, to elect democratic! commission-
era or republican commissioners, or part
democratic and part republican, Juat a
they choose.
The avowed purpone of the demo
cratic legislature in making the po
lice board elective was to put it back
into politics, their expectation being
that the democrats would capture the
board and use tt for democratic poll-
tics, and it was not their fault that
this expectation was not met.
Last year the democratic member
of the police board heided the demo
cratic ticket as candidate for Hover
nor, but Mr. Hitchcock, who bad
pinned his senatorial candidacy to
Mayor "Jim's" coat-tails, uttered not
a word of protest or objection.
The editor of The Dee will be glad
to offer again to the next legislature
the bill that should have been passed
four years ago, revised to fit every
one who has authority or control
over the police department directly
or indirectly, If Senator Hitchcock
and bis newspaper will promise now
to Join with him in procuring its
enactment.
Perhaps not, but It should do so by
showing up the downright and de
liberate fraud resorted and con
nived In by the democratic candidate.

Equal Pay for Teachers.
A bill passed by the state legisla
ture providing for equal pay to men
nd women school teachers in New
fork City has been signed by Mayor
Gaynor nnd sent to Governor Dlx for
final approval or disapproval. It
contemplates an increase of t3,J00,-
00 in the clty'a budget to meet the
ncrrased salaries. The legislature.
by the way, was committed to "the
argent possible measure of home
rule for all cities." Judging from
the Now York papers, that city is
lolently opposed to this measure, so
that, looking at the bill quite apart
from its inherent character, it is an
other example of the fidelity of this
democratic Tammany legislature.
Mayor Gaynor Justifies his signing
of the bill by retorting to his critics,
that similar bills have been repeat
edly passed and that the legislature's
will so positively expressed ought not
to bo overridden. Dut here comes in
the will of the people who have to
bear the burden of the law. Good
or bad, if they are opposed to it,
ought their will be overridden?
The reply Is that while this bill has
been repeatedly passed by the legis
lature, It has likewise been repeat
edly vetoed and that therefore It
should be vetoed again.
The mayor has been enthusiasti
cally felicitated by women teachers
for signing the bill. He gave them
one bit of good advice, when he
warned them that they would now
have to look out that unfriendly
boards did not employ a dispropor
tionately larger number of men
teachers. Another thing that comes
up In such a case is the making of
a fair division of the Increases among
all the teachers alike. Doubtless
this action In New York, if tho gov
ernor signs the bill, will become a
tremendous stimulus to sinister de
mands in other cities. Rcgnrdless
of the local circumstances, the prin-
ciple that a person is worthy of his
hire, applies as much to woman as
to man and the real question re
solves eventually Into one as to what
constitutes equal work?
Whatever little Japan Is thlnkln

What's the Joke?
It seems that The Dee Is the only
newspaper lu Omaha with the cour
age to expose and denounce a medi
cal fraud preying on the unfortunate
victims of disease.
Mr. Bryan Is spending three days
In the Third Nebraska district. That
7.000 majority polled by the late

Mr. Bryan tells the so-called In

democrats at heart. On his next
visit, he will try to persuade them to
put on the democratic livery.

Those Santa Claus Letters.
Dy order of the Poatoffice depart'
ment the Santa Claus letters that
customarily pour Into postofflces
during the Christmas time will go to
the dead letter office hereafter.
Originally this custom of children
dropping letters addressed to Santa
Claus In the mall box was taken as
a sweet little token of Juvenile In
nocence and was thus Indulged by
magnanimous government by turn
Ing them over to charitable people or
societies. But impostors and graft
ers of different sorts, seeing the pos
slbllltles of the practice, went to
writing such letters, with the result
that not only have the mails been
wrongly used, but postofflces and
postal forces all over the country
have been deluged by this sort of
matter at the very busiest part of
tho year. It Is difficult enough at
best for the postal machinery, thor
ough as it Is, to handle the annual
Christmas mall. It requires full and
extra forces of men and women
working overtime to do It and cer
tainly if there is any place where
the burden can be lightened without
curtailing legitimate service It ought
to be done.
Parents and guardians will do
well, therefore, to advise their chil
dren that their good Uncle Sam has
gone out of the Santa Claus business
and that if they have such epistles
to send, send thorn to some Good
Samaritan. With all the charitable
and philanthropic means of spread
ing Christmas cheer, It Is hardly
probable that thla action of the gov
eminent is going to deny that cheer
to any deserving little one.
The Bunco Game Blocked.
The democratic bntico game up in
the Third Nebraska district whereby
the democratic nominee sought to
get on the ticket a aecond time mis-
branded as a populist, has been
blocked, for which Secretary of State
Walt deserves ail due credit.
In the hearing on the protest of
this fake nomination certificate, tt
developed that the pretended popu
list delegate convention consisted of
six or seven people, not known to
have been delegated to represent
anyone, and tnat tne chairman ana
secretary who signed the certificate
were both avowed democrats who ad
mitted having voted in the demo
cratic primaries. The whole thing
was a fraud concocted by demo
crats to steal the populist name, thus
purloining for the democratic can
didate all the straight populist ballots
to which he had no right or claim,
The wonder is that any democrat rat'
ing himself as of congressional site,
and maklug pretense to honesty and
fairness, should stoop to auch
transparent deception to promote bis
political ambition. If the populists
of the Third district want to vote
for a democrat, there Is nothing to
stop them, but they will know that
they are voting, not for a populist
but for a democrat shorn of his
stolen populist disguise.
Secretary of State Walt ta his
ruling aaya that he doc pot think
the decision will change an vvtta,
It seems that "Charley" Fanning
is now fussing about the Judges and
clerks of election named by "Doss"
Flynn to run the primaries at which
he was to be nominated for district
court clerk. If any of the Judges and
clerks are not qualified for the elec
tlon, they were In the same boat for
the primary, but nary protest or
objection from any source. Those
democratic machinists should get to
gether earlier.

The playerpiano Is coming to have as much ot an
honored place In every home as the piano orlgnally had.
It Is getting to be that "no home la complete" without one
of these "automatic players." The Cable-Nelson player
piano, is a remarkable achievement in the manufacture ot
these Instruments and today rests upon its real merit
wherever playerplanos are sold. ' The fine old enthusiasm ,
or the musician-artist is in evidence throughout the Cable
Nelson. It combines the patented features of the world's
greatest Inventors In this field. One can purchase a Cable
Nelson with every assurance that ho is getting the very
best means ot making music- without almost endless years
of study and practice.
