According to official figures "Jim" Klliott tut the last democratic ma jority for congress in the Third dis trict almost in half. That's doing tolerably well. Women have a right to vote for School board members in Omaha, but mighty few of them avail them selves of the privilege, much less re gard it a j a duty.

If Council Bluffs folks feel the shortage, they can still run over to OmaLa ou a tjulck street car ride Tackling; the Trust Problem. Former President Roosevelt gets fat tho trust problem In his chorsc terlstlc manner, jiistlfyfng. without equivocation, everything he did as president with reference to enforce ment of the Sherman law, and reit erating his proposal for supplemen tary legislation for admlnlstrntlve regulation by the federal govern ment of all corporations doing inter state buRinoes. To those who are not frightened by tie bogle of centraliza tion, nor enamored of the unwork ble theory of state's rights, the pro gram outlined by Colonel Roose velt, will appeal with much force. .Many piano, of dealing with the trust problem have been proposed, principal among them the following: 1. Total (radical ion of corporate combinations by drastic federal and Male legislation. To stop restraint of trade this would a tan throw away every ad vantage of doing business on a large scale. 2. Flute regulation, leaving each stuto to apply Its own remedy. This would compel largo corpora tions to comply with forly-elg'.it dif ferent nets of rules and regulations. 3. Ilolh federal and fctate regula tion. This would make forty-nine sets cf rules and regulations Instead ot forty-,elght. 4. Kederal regulation by law suit, ultimately by tho United states supremo court. This is subHtaiitlfllly what wo lmvo now, exemplified by tho Standard Oil and Tobacco cusps. 5. Kederal regulation by admln- Istintivo bureau. This Is what Mr. Uooscvelt advo cates as tho only practical colutlon. Most other .methods of treatment aro modifications or combinations of these, wiiOKO mere enumeration Is sufficient to nugsent tho difficulties presented. This much, however. seems plain that the logic of events mid the Intrinsic nature of Interstate traffic and commerce (omnolu cen tralization of authority and respon sibility, making successful state reg ulation Imposaiblo except for purely local concerns. In the Bryan Discard. Mr. Bryan seems to think the only raauntlal difference between Harmon and Underwood Is that one la old, the other young, and that Wall street is veering its support around to tho latter on that account. Of course, both have defied Mr. Bryan; therefore, both are in his discard. Should either become the democratic standard bearer the people will have only to turn to the files of the Com moner to learn that he is the agent of predatory wealth; they will not have to take tho word of the repub licans for that. - nir. nryan announced some months ago that he would perch himself on the watch tower and cry out the pitfalls in the lino of demo cratic candidates aa they swung in succession beforo his monitory re view. lie is keeping his word by uncovering these two of the three most conspicuous democratic candl dates as Wall street tools, trust trusties, vested interests' faithful satraps. Of course, should either be nominated, it Is not to be supposed that Mr. Bryan would revise- his es timate of him: Mr. Bryan is not as outspoken as to his preferred candidate. He has tnferentlally leaned toward Folk, Clark, Hoke Bmlth and Fobs, all ot whom, he doubtless knows, are out of eerloua consideration. The dem ocratic possibilities for the nomina tion ere generally ranked thus Harmon, Wilson, Underwood. Mr. Bryan is silent as U Wilson and vio lently antagonistic to the other two. Fuss he lauds because he has been re-elected governor of Massachusetts. Ignoring the fact that It is by a majority ono-thlrd that of one year ago. But observation will show that Mr. Bryan has seldom been for tunate in picking a winner. Parcels Post Our democratic United States senator, who is opposed to the par cels post, told tho convention of im plement dealers that tho mowt ef fective way for them to block parcels post legislation is to convince their representatives thnt the people are ugaiust it. Senators and representa tives who do not by this time know that tho people aro not opposed to parcels pott cannot be very ob servant. Tho express companies may con tinue their H'ocloua arguments against parcels post, but they cannot hope much longer to delay it. It Is coming as sure iu the postal savings bunk tamo. It would have come long ago, no doubt, had the people goue to the trouble of studying the question. The mall order house is the source of the argument that par cels post would put the country re- taller out of business, but it has bad no such effect in foreign countries. The email retailer fills a place which cannot bo seriously disturbed by the parcels post any more than it would be by a reduction in express rates. With our great postal machinery more thau adequate to provide for the parcels post, it is sheer wssU to continue to leave the service to the express company combine at extor tionate charges. It coats $1.70 to send an eleven pound package by express from Omiiia to Lincoln, when the same package msy be sent from Omaha to Kurope for $1.32 and in Kurope such package would bo transported for about 40 cents. If the express companies an Justify those relative costs, then they may be able to prove that panels post would not be a good thing for us. The Sugar Tariff. The beet sugar men offpr rather good evidence In support of their claim that free sugsr Is a false alarm. If removing entirely the duty from raw sugar benefits tho eastern Importer and southern esne sugar refiner to the detriment of the west ern beet sugar grower, then the duty had better not tie removed. Skill has been exerted to make It appear thnt the cry for free sugar is a popular demand, coming from the. consumer, who was to bo tho bene ficiary, if the beet sugar men are correct In their claim, thci the con sumer, next to the beet men, them selves, would be the chief sufferers by such tariff revision. The simplo fact that tlil'i "free Kiigar" propa ganda is being carried on by the largo eastern and southern refining Interests, In Itself betokens an ul terior purpose. A few years ago sugar beet cul- turo promised to become one of tho great agricultural pursuits In the west and north and bect sugar mak ing one ot the great manufacturing Industries. California, Colorado, Utah, Nebraska, Wisconsin and other states began to kpq visions of lm nionso resources as a result of this now Industry, when of a sudden the Impulse gave way and the progress was cut nhort. Today we nre produc ing only C00.000 tons of beet sugar in the entire country, a large amount to be sure, as compared with 45,000 back in 1897, but nothing as com pared with the possibilities, reckon ing on the official statement that there aro 247,000,000 acres of land highly ndaptod to sugar beets iu this country. If all thla land, or even half of It, wore under cultivation to beets the production of beet sugar would soon bo mounting tip to sev eral times C00.000 tons a year. While we nro engaged In the prof itable pursuit of scientific tariff re vision we can afford to give this sub ject the most careful consideration. If it be found that tho beet sugar industry, in Its inclpiency, were choked by, the larger cane sugar re finers, then congress should come to the rescue of the former, of the weBt, and, in fact, of the consumer. But under no clrcurnstnaces should re moval of tho tariff be: ured to tighten the combine's hold and place tho con sumer still more at IU mercy. Gompers' Advice. In his annual report President Samuel Gompers of the - American Federation of Labor clearly sets forth his belief In the innocence of the Mc.N'amnras, charged with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, In which twenty-one lives were snuffed out, so that his opposi tion of the move to' appropriate $50, 000 for the men's defense cannot be misconstrued Into prejudice on his part against the accused, Prevailing sentiment in this country will agree with Mr. Gompers that, If this aid is to be rendered at all, it should be done by private subscription and not by official appropriation. What union labor men do as individuals is their own affair, but the American Feder ation of Labor may include many who do not care to contribute. The many reasons in support of Qompers' advice in this, it seeniB to us, are too obvious to need much emphasis. Organized labor is not necessarily on trial at Los Angeles, but might aslly force Itself into an untenable position by assuming things which the trial may disprove Judging from the deliberation in get ting a Jury, thero ts no Imminent danger of "railroading" this case If the defendants get a fair, impar tial hearing the verdict will have to be accepted and It la this that Pres ident Gompers sees. jiia iiuoi sun instituted by ex Governor Haskell of Oklahoma tigalnst William Randolph Hearst, on which he managed to get service here In Omaha, is ou tho boards for trial. If It w ere not for little, things like this, most people would be in danger of forgetting all about the Haskell Incident. Governor Aldrlch says the Trans Mtsslsslppt congress is a fake. The Deo announced that fact a long time ago. About tho only creditable thing the Trans-Misslsfclppi congress ever did was to help plant the seed that, when propogated by Omaha, grew into the Trans-Mlsslsslppi exposition. Mr. Bryan says Senator Hitchock's newspaper is a uiouthpleca of Wall street. Yet Mr. Bryan last year went up and down this state urging voters to support Mr Hitchcock for the United States senate. The Charleston News and Courier says. "Charleston will be a city beau tiful if our progressive citizens in sist on it." And a citizen is not very progressive who doea not insist on it.

The pre-eminence of Uussia as the wheat king of the wor!d Is strikingly shown by statistics complied by the New Yoik Times. During the year ended Au gust CI last North America collectively shipped C5. 334.090 bushels of wheat. South America SM.cW bushels. India 4S."12. bushels, Australia Gl.lMiCi) bushels, while P.uspla alone exported 2:'0.072.000 bushels. It has been estimated that of the grand total of the world's wheat shipments of approximately 5CO.ono.000 bushels, Russia last year ahlpped 45 per cent. When Sir William Crookesof London predicted that by 1931 wheat production would barely equal consumption ho estimated Russia's yield at only 1.6 bushela per acre, the United States at 12 bushtls, Argentina at 13 bushels, the United King dom at 29. 1 bushels, while Denmark pro duced 41.8 bushels per acre. Were Ilussia to Increase Us production to equal that of Denmark per acre It alone could prob ably feed Europe and America. Polotlcal Chaoses In Sweden. Hard on the heels of manhood suffrage and the consequent victory of the liberal forces in the election of members of the popular chamber of the Swedish Riksdag King Uustaf has dissolved the first cham ber and ordered a new election. The first chamber has long been the stronghold of aristocracy and privilege. Just as the con servatives nre entrenched In the House of Lords In Great Britain tho conservatives of Hwrden dominated the first' chamber and checkmated most of the liberal party measures. In the body Jut dissolved 117 were conservatives, with only thirty-three members of opposing parties. Members aro chosen by local bodies, chiefly mu nicipal. As these bodtea have been elected by popular voto the political complexion of their choice for the first cliamber Is practically settled In advance. The new first chamber. It Is Indicated, will consist of eighty conservatives, sixty liberals and ten socialists. The expected reduction in the conservative majority. It Is believed, will establish more harmonious relations between the two chambers and dispose of obstructive party tactics. The king sides with the commons, and privilege must fall Into Una or get off tho road. Tenant Farmers In Ireland. Writing In the London Chronicle, Harry Jones says there are now In Ireland more than 200,000 tenant farmers who have bought their holdings with money ad vanced ty the tate on easy terms. Under the old order the tenant has no rights, and, of course, no land. All the Improve ment that he might make belonged to the landlord, and every betterment was used sa a pretext fur raising the rent. Now there are more than 200,000 land owning farmers, who represent probably 1,000,000 people. Tho land laws of the last ten pears have altered tho wholo face of Ii eland. "Wo have seen with our own eyes, writes air. Jones, "the thriving air of many ah Irish homestead; we have heard from experts In agriculture that the wholo method of cultivation has been improved. Wo note the steady Increase In the export of Irish agricultural prod ucts. In short, tho magic of ownership is visibly transforming rural Ireland. It was Arthur Young, greatest of all our writers on agriculture, who said: "Give a man nine years' lease of a garden and he will convert it Into a wilderness; give him secure, undisputed iiossession of a rock end he will transform It Into a gar den.' " flnlfonr'a S accessor. A minister's son, Canadian by birth, Scotchman by parentage and business connections, and 63 years of age, outlines the antecedents of Andrew Doner Law, the Brltal.-r who succeeds Sir Arthur Balfour as leader ot the conservative party In Great Britain. He represents the Bootle division of Lancashire In the House of Commons. In most respects his characteristics are the. opposite of Bal four's. He Is an aggressive representa tive of the manufacturing Interests of the kingdom, an Ironmaster and a protection ist. Thougn he does not meaaure up to Balfour in ability as an orator, he has shown power of the sledgehammer va riety, cold, calculating and courageous, and Is a parliamentarian of high rank. The liberals call him "a bitter and un scrupulous partisan." To him the question of tariff reform,, as protection la known In that country, transcends all other questiona agitating the British people, and hla selection as party lender blazes the path the conservatives will follow henceforth. New ltubber Prodaeer. Northern Rhodesia, South Africa, is coming to the front as a rubber producer. An American consular report states that the full extent of the rubber areas Is not definitely known, but the asset has great prospective value. The indigenous rubber of Northern Rhodesia has bee a structly protected since 1HW1, with the re sult that the number of young vines show a great Increase. A comparatively small portion of northeastern Rhodesia ha recently been Inspected by Mr. De Josselln de Jong, an officer of the agrl cultuial department, who estimates that the five rubber forests which he visited covered In the aggregate upward of li.CoO acre, und tiiat the number of existing vines was approximately &00.000. He re ports that each of these five acres would make a complete estate capable of carry ing Ceo vines to the acre under cultivation. Dead llnaka In Libraries. I-ord Rosenbery criticism of public libraries at the opening of the Mitchell library In Glasgow, likening them to "enormouu cemeteries." because "most of the books are dead." draw a note of approval from a high authority. The chief librarian of the British museum says the dead or half dead book In It are as to living works i.. to 1. "You may as sume," continued the librarian, "that of all the vast number ot work that genera tions of men have Indited only tiO.CM) re main alive.

He caused each day. some sorrow; but he never stopped to see He was too Intent in being" on the Job"; The lust of war was In him each day he struck a blow with glee But he never caught a victim's stifled sob; That he was cruel minded nobody could assert. For he called amassing power only fun; Ho wasn't harsh or brutal be didn't mean to hurt He was simply "looking out for Num ber One." The world snd all upon It were blotted from his gaze When he heard the dally battle-call at morn; For him no Idle pleaslngs, no wanton, futile days For him no farmer's villa 'mid the corn ; Though he dealt his blows with power, and each had brounht a groan, He never stopped to sigh o'er what he'd done; Yet he didn't have a nature that was hard ah building Btone He was simply "looking out for Num ber One."
