H ia quite thought fu) In Governor Harmon to arrange for several stop offs in thp west, an he goes to and from San Frsncisro, where he will select the aite for the Ohio building at the Panama exposition. Of course, as the governor says, his trip at this time is only for this state errand. Governor Wilson has already made a similar tour and now It remains for tbe others to follow suit. Governor Harmon la too old a poli tician to take chances on the "ene my's country," and leave to a later date the sounding out of sentiment In this territory. He was tbe first cuu dlilnte for the democratic nomination to enter the ring and It would not do to lag behind the others now. Governor Harmon's Itinerary lit detail has not been tl!clOKed, unci ! until It Is the public will nsturally be serious to know whether It will Include stop-offs In Nebraska, where dwells the man who not loryj, ago ordered Harmon to "prepare to stand aside," and who claims an exclusive right by pre-emption to the democ racy of this stale. Harmon's whole plan savors strongly of a bold chal lenge, but la he bold enough to defy Mr. Bryan on his home ground? Evidently the Ohio governor la satisfied with the. "feelers" set to work In Nebraska and other western stat'-a and encouraged to "come on,' It is itinit significant that bo me of his lending exponents In this state are Bryan apoatatee, led, In fart, by he "original Rryan newspaper." Governor Harmon does well to an nounce his nil no ion as purely tae choosing of his state's location at the great exposition, but to others tt has he appearance of the opening gun In he aggressive Harmon campaign for 1912, an early move to rally to gether all the Harmon workers west of the Missouri river. Bale Works Both Ways. Recently San Francisco elected a mayor by lta new primary plan, by which the candidate receiving a ma jority of all votes cast Is declared elected without again being balloted upon. This, advocates of tho plan declare, saves tUe trouble and ex pense of the second or general elec tion and interprets the will of the people Just as accurately, and, they maintain, it would be manifestly un-l fair and superfluous to send two or more candidates back to the polls a second time after one had obtained a majority over all the others. Los Angeles has just held its city primaries under the same plan, but it did not work out as conveniently as it did in San Francisco. The high man for mayor, who happens to be a socialist, led the "good government," or next highest man, by more than 3,000 vote and yet felt short of a majority by more than 4.000. So these two candidates are to be voted for at a final election. It wan our contention at the time so much was being made of the San Francisco event that It was a strange rule that did not work both ways and that possibly thla would prove no exception. Where sentiment la pre ponderating one-sided, tbe rule would, of course, secure the end sought, but where sentiment is more evenly divided, as ta Los Angeles, it would fall, and this, no doubt, would happen In the great majority of cases. But even where the rule works out aa desired to the first In stance, it is not certain that It pro duces the fairest results. Nine times out of ten conditions obtain which prevent a primary election from fairly reflecting the majority will. Los Angeles is now to have the help of the women in electing a mayor. The city , boasts of being a paragon in clvlo righteousness and progress and yet It did not find its power in that direction great enough to elect its "good government" man over a socialist and now has to call on the mothers, wives and daughters to rescue it from the socialists. Pasa dena, Los Angeles' next door neigh bor, haa a socialist mayor. Good gov ernment ia really a relative consider ation, for which there is no patent right. Beno's Cut-Bate War. From reports that come out ot Reno, Nov., one Is led to couclude either that the divorce trade la Bug ging or that lawyers have btvconie so numerous aa to threaten the Integrity ot tbe bualness. Dispatches say a "bitter cut-rate war la being waged between attorneys in divorce cases." It dues not say whether the number of dlvorcea ia materially diminishing or tfiat of the lawyers increasing. But ratea are certainly falling. Here tofore it has been customary for lawyers to get a fee or $250 for breaking "asunder what God hath joined together," where there was no contest and all the work was purely perfunctory, but now under the cut rate war a lawyer is lucky to pick up $76 and pay court coats himself, which formerly were hung onto the client. Steps already are being taken, however, by tome of tb pro ethical members of the profession to remedy conditions and do away with such unseemly disorder by laying the whole matter before the State Bar association for action. It Is quite possible that the facility for makfng money offered by this class of practice has lit Nevada, it not elsewhere, had something to do with what is usually charged up en tirely to marital Infelicity. If there were any way of eliminating that festure of the problem, It would be well. The most reputable lawyers, of courr-o. do not strive for thla char acter of practice and doubtless they would like to see the unsavory side of It auppresscd, whether they ever take any steps, themselves, to sup press it or not. It Is very bad when the man whose profession commands h! dignifying the law and aiding so ciety in legitimate and laudable ways to solve Its problems, departs from this fundamental duty to embrace a, scheme of burlesquing law and ex ploiting aocloty. The Democratic Panacea. The democratic panacea Is simple and tilreit. Tor uil the Ills that Mesh Ik heir to the admonition of Hie democratic organ Is. Vote the democratic ticket. if registration In the wards that cast the heavy democratic vote for Mayor Jim fast year Is under sus picion, cure the evil by voting the democratic ticket. If the democratic county attorney falls down in an attempt to prose cute for alleged Illegal registration, vote the democratic ticket. If the town management under a democratic mayor is not Just to your liking, vote the democratic ticket. If the work of the democratic court house combine looka coarse, why, voto the democratic ticket. If you are a republican, still the only way you con please the democratic organ Is to vote tbe democratic ticket. But do you recall any advice ever given from that source to democrats to rehuke democratic misrule or cor ruption by voting for republicans? And now we are told that Douglaa county is fortunate in having the democratic combine doing business for the county board while 11,200, 000 Is being spent on our new court house. Douglas county Is Indeed for tunate in having as much to show for their money aa they have, but they would be still more fortunate If they were rid of the gang that has been changing specifications and authoriz ing substitution of materials always In the Interest of the contractors and at the expense of the taxpayers. eaBBBjaBBsaBBBBBBBaBiaBBwaBjBaaBjaaBBjBB Champ Clark, at least, Is frank: enough. He wants Nebraska repub licans to vote tho democratic ticket this year to help the democrats cap ture the presidency next year. If there are any republicans in Ne braska bent on doing that particular thing above everything else, why, of course, they will heed Champ's ad vice. . - i It Is pathetic to what extremes one Idea people will go. Here la the Anti- Saloon league out with "Instructions" for Its adherents to eschew partisan ship and vote for only "dry" can didates for supreme Judge. No ques tion of fitness or qualification or political viewpoint beyond this enters Into it If only ha is "dry" he will make a good enough judge for them. The fight over annexation Is wag ing warm in South Omaha. It la up to South Omaha people to decide by themselves this time as the incontlve of an impending census is no longer spurring Omaha to special effort. aaaaBBBBMBBBBMaBSBMeaaWaaBBaaBt If folks are known by the company they keep, members of the democratic court house combine in political co habitation with George Stryker, Fred Brunlng and others of their ilk must furnish a good Index. For the first time in twenty-eight yeara the government postoftlce sys tem Is being conducted at a profit, instead of a loss of millions. Who did it? Not the democrats.

BOl.'TH OMAHA, Oct. 31.-To the Kditor of The Bee: In a recent Issue of The Bee, J. Barton Garland makes a number of sweeping antl-Catholiu statements without producing sny figures to back them. His thtoligy I will overlook, for truly that la the one subject of human research that the poet Pope must have had In mlud When he said "Fools rush In where angels fear to tread." But his slanderous statements luck all historical basis, and he can not find tha flgui to prove the.m. He asserts that "Csthollc nations are disrupted, distressed, Illiterate, dis contented, etc.." and placea the blame on the religion. He makes no consider ation for the influence of civil govern ment, or of economic conditions a sound system of philosophy Indeed!. How will It account for the wail sent up by our Omaha clergyman last week deploring (Tie fact that population in our country had Increased 25 per cent In the last de cade, and crime BO per cent. 1 call attention to a country where so callgd reformed religion has made very little progress the three southern provinces of Ireland. Look up statistics and compare with our own country, be cause "people who live In gist's houaes ahould not throw stones." The success of a rellgoua teaching amongst a people can be measured by the evidence of two tangible results-the law-abiding quality ot Its manhood, and the purity of lta womanhood and figures prove that no where In the civilised world are the records of southern Ireland sur passed. The Cnlted States shows a divorce per centage of one divorce In three marri-rfcs, to one in twelve, in various localities. Ireland shows one legal separation in each S.OOO marriages. Ireland his always led the world with the lowest illegitimate birthrate less than 2 per cent. The United States shows 8 per cent, and northern European countries, on average of 12 per cent. Yes, Mr. Garland, those virtuous Irish women died ot starvation by the thousands, but there was not gold enough in all England to purchsse the honor of the humblest of them! As to comparison of homicide, I refer to a recent editorial It) The Bee on that sub ject. The Cnltcd States has the highest rate and brings to Justice the fewest of Its criminals. Aa to race suicide, no one but a Joker would accuse tho Irsh Viatlon ot that. Suicide has never yet earned the name of the "Irish Route." Concerning illiteracy, there are few of them unable to read, at least their prayer-books, and all have enough edu cation to make you a clvfl answer tvhen you merit one. The power to deal with " Juvenile of fenders la vested chiefly in father's leather belt, and the parish priest's cane, and they havo a decided advantage over our Juvenile Court system, ss they are always resdy for sctlon at the proper psychologies! moment. ' It Is a common occurrence in Ireland on' the day of the opening of a session of court for the court bailiff to present the presiding Judge with a pair of white gloves to signify that there Is not a single criminal ca-e on the calendar' for trial. If ever there existed a country where tbe tyrannical lawt of an alien govern ment have ' paralysed its commerce and Industries, snd where a brutal system of absentee landlordism for decades op pressed the people to the depths of pov erty, surely that country hss been per secuted Ireland, Where. In the famine year of 18ts alone 1.023,000 persons were tb victims of a mlsgovernment that hsd drained the country of Its surplus re sources, snd whore. In thirty-three years, 4S2.O0O families, over 2,000,000 people, were evicted from their homes; conditions, such as under ordinary circumstances would have reduced a nation to despair and utter degradation, end through all thla the peerlesa purity of Erln'a woman hood, and the law-abiding quality ot her manhood can be attributed to no other source but the faith that Is In them.

Unfortunately the many absurdities which get into the pres through irre sponsible a,nd unscrupulous reporters are accepted by many readers as facts, and it seems to be an evil that we cannot get away from, but it doea seem that government employes. Instead of encour aging the placing before the public such absolutely falsa Information as contained In the enclosed article, should do what they can to prevent prejudice, and to see that the public. Is correctly Informed on subjecta ef thla kind which Involve the honesty of dealera In the wholeaale liquor and distilling bualness, upon which tha government depends for aanie tl.V.OOO.OOO annual revenue. Tou know very well that for many years all distillery tax puymenta under tha law had to be, and have been made on actual weight gauge, and that prob ably all but 1 per cent of the gauging ot liquors outside ot distilleries la also done by weight. That the weighing eyatara ia enforced now also on thst small per cent ot goods formeily gauged by rod. Is be cause It has been ascertained that the rod gauge . Is unsatisfactory to buyers and sellers alike, causing the under gauglng ot packages aa often aa the over-gauging.
