A Magnificent Republican Victory. Tba result locally in Douglas county is a magnificent republican victory, with every candidate on the county ticket but one winning by handsome majorities, and with similar majorities given to the en tire state republican ticket. The loss of Hoye for sheriff is naturally to be regretted by republicans, who would have preferred to see a clean sweep, but it Is a small measure of comfort to our democratic friends, over which they are entitled to crow as loudly as they feel like doing In the midst of their shroud of gloom. What beat Hoye waa evidently no one 'thing, but a combination of factors that made him the sole victim of what ever discontent and dissatisfaction permeated republican lines. Hoye Is a sacrifice to the success of his as sociates on tha ticket. Ills opponent, "Phil" McShane, to whom we extend congratulations, owes his election to the enthusiastic- devotion of a per sonal following of his young friends and to the votes of disaffected repub licans. The people of Douglas county are to be felicitated on tha assurance that county affairs are to be for the next two years in the hands of capa ble republican officers. With Robert Smith In the district clerk's office, Bryce Crawford as county Judge, Frank Dewey aa county clerk, W. G. Ura as county treasurer, and the other re-elected Incumbents, to gother with a republican majority In control of the county board In place of tha present democratic com bine, they may expoct efficiency. economy and square dealing In all these offices. Incidentally, tha people of Omaha are to be felicitated also on tha elec tion aa police Judge of a rising young lawyer In tha person of Charles E Foster, and tha defeat for tha school board of the one misfit candidate who bad secured nomina tion, t Bailway Batei and Navigation. Tha Transrnlsslsslppl Commercial congress which meet in Kansas City In December la to make the matter of river, navigation an Important topic of discussion. Kansas City la a good place for such consideration, since It haa taken the lead among mid-western cities In promoting river traffic. Doubtlesa tha local sentiment will give stimulus, to tha movement and may help to bring about action. River navigation vitally affect railroad rates and the cost of trans portation and what caused a decline in tha usa of rivers waa, not their Inefficiency aa channels of trans portation, but rather tha. Increased efficiency of our - railroad. When tha demands of business called for mora rapid transit than tha rivers afforded and tha railroad! became able to meet the demands, commerce left tha streams and went to tha rail ways. But with all tha prodigious development of our railroads, com merce haa outgrown these facilities and la crying for, not only tha low est possible carriage cost rate It can obtain, but mora extensive service. President F. A. Delano of tho Wa bash railroad. In his address a year ago before tha National Rivera and Harbors congress at Washington, Insisted that restriction on advances In rates la sura to operate as a hindrance to their reduction, aa a rule that worka both ways. If that Is true and also that tha tendency of railroad rates Is again upward In stead of downward, no doubt the sit uation affords an excellent opportu nity for river navigation Improvement and Invites action by this convention at Kansas City. It lower railroad rates supplied the need which the rivers before filled, then higher railroad rates with shipping Increas ing faster than railroad facilities, ought to favor resumption of river navigation. i What Beat Annexation. The rejection by South Omaha of the proposition for merger with Omaha by a fairly decisive vote is not unexpected to those who have observed the situation. Annexation has been again defeated, although sentiment In South Omaha has ma terially changed over tha uncom promising attitude of a few year ago, and at the start gave promise of carrying the ball to the goal. What beat annexation Is well enough known In South Omaha and should be known elsewhere, namely, the attack of tha Omaha Water board on tha validity of tha franchise granted to the Stock Yards company to supply water for Its own needs and the needs of the packing houses. The people of the stock yards district, originally In favor of merger, veered completely around aa a consequence of the Water board's application to have this franchise judicially annulled. Other causes that contribute arise from the Inadequacy of tha law providing for tha union of tha two cities. Tho law was hastily drawn and passed four years ago, and un intentionally failed to guarantee South Omaha any measure of self government, or participation In gov ernment, during tha period between the time when annexation should be come effective and a new regime of city government elected and Installed by tha enlarged metropolis. Neither is there any provision of law to safe guard from lose of four months of their license year, the liquor dealers of South Omaha, who pay 11,100 to run from May to May, af d after an nexation would have to take out new licenses running from January to January. Annexation of tha two cities is bound to come, but la all fairness to South Omaha these defects In the law should be remedied, or sn alto gether new law panted, before It is again attempted. ' The Political Pendulum. One year ago democrats were re joicing over the election of governors In these six slates New York, Con necticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey and Ohio. They began at once to raise each governor-elect to the estate of a potential presidential candidate and were emphatic In as serting that this "landslide" was but a forerunner of overwhelming demo cratic victory in 1912. But politics Is a pendulum that quickly swings from one side to the other. Perhaps the democrats forgot that In their hour of triumph, or surely they did not expect the pen dulum to awing back so far quite this soon. Not one of these six states re peated on Tuesday the pro-democratic trend of a year ago. New York, which In 1910 elected a strongly democratic legislature as well as governor, this year gives the legislature back to the republicans with a republican majority of fitly, a violent repudiation of democracy under Tammany rule. New Jersey, which a year ao elected Dr. Woodrow Wllsou gover nor by about 60,000 plurality, giving htm a democratic legislature, this year returns both branches of the legislature to the republicans. Massachusetts, considered by the democrats as a pivotal state, re elected Governor Foes by about 8,000 majority as compared with 32,000 one year ago. Tba results of the elections as a whole over the country are not only encouraging, but flattering to the republicans, and therefore to the Taft administration. The president, himself, can find much to reassure him of tba increasing confidence of tha people in spite of the Inces sant and merciless warfare waged against him. No political seer who lsr honest with himself can read out of the returns any discouragement for progressive republican Inm In 1912 aa represented In President Taft, nor can any democrat read Into them new hope for hla cause. To the Teachers. Omaha has a cordial welcome for the visitors In attendance upon the annual convention of the Nebraska Teachers' association. The gather ing Includes several hundred men and women educators of our own state and dlstlnguUhed members of tha profession from abroad. To them all The Bee wishes a welcome and an enjoyable and profitable time. Omaha la happy to act as tba host of such. a convention. There is no mora Important work than that of teaching and training tha young to live, and that, after all, is educa tion's original function. It is to tha credit of pedagogy that it labors to find the most effectual methods of performing that great mission, for it is Important that It, no lesa than tha trades and commerce, keep abreast the times and meet each suc cessive problem of modern thought and action aa it arises. Such con ventions aa this one contribute to that end, by the interchange of ideas and tha comparison and discussion of methods and systems. One may not view such a body of earnest men and woman without concluding that ao long as they and larger numbers of their like all over tho country are giving auch earnest devotion to tha cause of education, with all tha , adverse criticism we bear of our system of public school ing, In the end it will contribute Its share to the sum total of human good, to tha moral and intellectual uplift of the nation. I Prof. P. G. Holden, the apostle of intensive farming In Iowa, is think ing of running for governor. His slogan will probably be the same as he used in promoting scientific agri culture make two votes (blades of grass) grow where but one grew be fore. Incidentally, our political geogra phy waa murdered during the cam paign by locating the town of Val ley in Sarpy county, and putting Sarpy county back into thla Judicial district after it bad been cut off by the legislature. Local democrats hugging the only office they saved may know how the republicans rejoiced last year over electing "Johnny" Lynch county Commissioner as the only oasis In the desert. If It were true that every vote for the republican ticket in Nebraska was au endorsement of President Taft and hla administration, he would have no reasoc to feel badly about it. Jarred lat Slleaoe.

New furniture and fur nishings ara going Into placa and every needful convenience and luxury provided Outcast furniture and furnishings, relics of bygone days, were put on the auction block recently and brought out a crowd of antique collectors, bargain hunters and curious spectators. The pile carried ancient memories, many forgotten dents snd some dust. Among the curios were oil stoves used to heat the capltol dome, discarded because of the abundance of natural gas; a desk and bookcase said to have been used by Henry Clay when he thundered In ante-bellum times; a frosted silver goblet, used by Vice Presi dent Fairbanks; a desk and table, at which the lata Senator Oorman of Mary land planned hla campaigns for the purl fiction of the democratlo party, and a sentorial couch that did business in tht marble room before Billy I.orlmer was put over.

One of the last public acts of Matthew Stanley Quay, the Pennsylvania boss, was to secure congressional recognition of a merciful service performed by some filou Indians In the year 1M3 on the Grand river In Dakota. Quay, whatever else rosy have been said sbout him. was a firm friend of the Indian. Some persons thought that he had In him a strain of ths blood of the Delawares. Quay secured congressional sanction for a bill to give $100 each to seventeen In dians who In the year and at the place named braved the apger and the bullets of the rest of their tribe by a successful effort to rave two white women and six children from dagger and death.

A few days ago a visitor In the Treas ury building who had paused to talk with a friend was startled to see a man coming down tha corridor, wearing a big star on his breast and carrying a revolver of huge dimensions.

The visitor asked with some show of alarm what It all meant, and was told that one of Secretary McVea's recent orders wss being carried out by a watch man. The secretary reached the conclu sion some time ago that the watchmen should go about armed. As the visitor watched ths aged watch man's subsequent movements, the pto- ture faded from the sinister to the ridlou- ous. He went to the end of the corridor, sat down at a desk, stuck his artillery Into one of the pigeonholes and fell asleep. Anybody tnho wanted to could have walked off with the gun.

"Every member hea the free use of the congressional baths and the barber shops under the Capltol.

Champ Clark's friends would do anything in reason to Induce him to "shut p." but. slss! the speaker must spesk. early, often and continuously, or he will die. Chicago Inter-Ocean (rep): Speaker Clark forgets that the speakership Is larger than he. He does not realise that when Champ Clark speaks. It is the speaker of the house who le heard. He does not appreciate the fact that his official position Imposes the official ob ligation to consider the feellnps of no tions with which we are on friendly terms. St Iuls Republic (dem.): We regret Mr. Clark's persistence in error on his own account, for we can only regard It as fatal to hla personal ambitions. Ws deplore it even" more keenly because, owing to his exalted positions In the party and ln""Tne government. It cannot fall to be Used to the disadvantage of democrats everywhere. In all kindness, therefore, but with no misgivings what ever as to the correctness of our posi tion, we say that In this matter the gentleman speaks only for himself. Boston Transcript lnd.): The grievous feature of Mr. Clark's statement is that It comes from "Speaker" Clark. It would have been practically harmless if It had come from Congressman Clark, before he was elevated to that position which the Briton is so ready to regard as almost equivalent to a prime ministership. When the prime minister speaks, the nation is heard. On the other hand though the Britons and Canadians may misinterpret It it Is Mr. Clark, candidate, who here speaks for himself. vIt Is to be regretcd that tho statement will not be so ac cepted. There can be no doubt that his previous lack of a realization of the in ternational aspect of his office waa prob ably responsible for some of the votes against reciprocity.
