Most everything.
- Epeaklng of Champ Clark's humor,
Mr. Bryan seems to think he Is the
joker In the democratic deck.
It Is to be hoped that John
Dlgelow, at 94, called on Dr. Osier
on his recent visit to London.

Did someone catch the author nap

Bryan, "Jim" Dahlman Is tho big
gest democrat In Nebraska. What
about our democratic United States
senator?
It 1 to be noted that the leaders
of the antt-Taft cuowd In Nebraska
today were for the most part also
leaders of the antl-Taft crow'd In
Nebraska four years ago. .
It looks as if that Water board
promise of a new supply main to
Florence to be laid before the ground

Coming events cast their shadows
before. Even If there were no other
premonitory signs, tho renewed ac

Our old friend. Edgar Howard,
must have had a wireless from Fair
view when he struck Champ Clark's
name off the list. Either that or
the Falrvlew statesman got his
hunch from Edgar.
The expose of the creosote paving
block combine may help folks to un
derstand the noticeable eagerness to
let next to paving contractors who
use so much sand, lime, crushed rock,
brick and other building materials.
Of course, it Is no "outrage" for
the democratic county board to
throw $60,000 worth of voting ma
chines, paid for with taxpayers'
money, into the Junk' heap. That
would be an "outrage" only if per
petrated by republicans.
Criticising President Roosevelt for
not consulting Secretary of War Taft
on that steel merger deal, an ex
change asks, "Where was Secretary
Taft, that he was not consulted?"
The record will show that Secretary
Tilt was in Japan at that moment.
The Canal and Freight Sates.
Of course the country will endorse
the recommendation of the Isthmian
Canal commission that "every lelt
Imste means of Increasing the rev
enue (from the canal) should be
adopted." The canal will have cost
when completed something like
M00.000.000. While It has been said
that heavy net profits need not be1
Immediately looked for to justify the
enterprise, yet no time should be lost
in putting the canal upon an actually
paying basis. ,
But, In spite of all this, the canal
would not come up to the objects set
forth for it if it failed to bring about
an equalization of our transconti
nental freight rates. From the
earliest canal agitation this has been
one of the arguments Held out that
It would tend by competitive lnflu
ence to level the cost of transporta
tion in this country.
It Is no wonder, therefore, that
such Interest' has been aroused over
the reputed causes of the failure of
Bernard N. Baker' scheme for an
independent Atlantic and Pacific
steamship line on the canal. Just as
Interest in the venture reaches from
New York to Ban Francisco, and tho
$15,000,000 project was apparently
getting on Its feet, It la suddenly
and completely wrecked and reports
are flying thick and fast to the effect
that the money magnates in combi
nation with the railroads blocked It.
At any rate, it is charged that banka
declined to favor tho proposed plana
and, therefore, they failed for want
of financial support,
Thcro Is a possibility that this ex
planation may not be entirely sound
and that tha banka, Just at this time,
have plenty of other reasons for not
wishing to underwrite the proposi
tion. But, at all events, shippers
must be counted In as among the
beneficiaries of this canal and it
must be ao operated as to benefit
them in the matter of cheaper rail
rates. Unless competition la allowed
to have Its natural sway this cannot
be done and that would be ,a
great mistake in connection' with'
the canal. But It Is a mistake with
which people need not concern them
selves too seriously at yet. The gov
ernment owns this canal and the ter
ritory through which It runs and It
has sole power to regulate lta opera
tion and It It hardly likely that the
government la going to conduct. it
In the Interest of' any private busi
ness enterprise, . no matter what
efforts may be exerted to that end.
Clogfing- the Wheels.
Above every other Interest and
consideration at stake In the Mc-
Namara case la that of Justice. If
this aggravating delay In drawing a
Jury It occasioned by a mutual deter
mination to facilitate justice, then
it may be pardonable, but if It is
done by one side or the other to
hamper Justice, It Is Intolerable. '
Powerful interests, .V are told,
are actively concerned In this court
proceeding at Los Angeles. It begins
to look so. It Is a misfortune for
both sldea that such a thing Is be
lievable. Too much baa been said
of tho large sums of money avail
able, of the combination of Influ
ences at work, to Inspire Implicit
faith In the simple effort of getting
down to a speedy hearing of this re
markable case. It may t be that,
owing to the bitterness of feeling en
gendered, prosecution and defense
suffer more or less from the crimina
tions of one another. But what the
publlo Is Interested in Is a fair trial
that will produce Justice. The, wheels
of the law's machinery should not
be clogged by these extraneous im
pediments. The view has been expressed that
tha newspapers have published too
much about the dynamiting, that
thereby it la .Impossible to find
twelve men without opinions on
it. That entirely misses the mark.
The best jury service Is not done
then dayt by men without opinions
and sooner or later we shall come to
act upon that In choosing our Juries.
One thing Is certain, the newspapers
have published no more than the
public demanded. It places the pre
mium on the wrong side to search
for the Ignorant juror. The chances
are thaUnearly any twelve men of
all those rejected In this case would
make as good a Jury as those who
will ultimately be selected.
'. Littleton on the Warpath.
The hcyise steel Investigation com
mittee wants all the light that can
possibly be shed upon the case. It
should comply with Congressman
Littleton's demand for proof of the
charge that he Is the 8teel trust's
agent in the committee. Chairman
Stanley and the other members will
be derelict in their duty if they fall
to summon witnesses designated by
Littleton tn connection with this
charge.
If the Steel trust ha the power to
control the actions of a member of
congress on this committee, the truth
had better be made publlo. If, on
the other hand, Congressman Little
ton has been maligned, aa he alleges,
by a certain clique from Wall street,
then that should be determined. Lit
tleton laya the whole thing to the
National Anti-Trust league, whose
representatives, he affirms, have rua
a pipe Una of Information from the
Investigation committee to Wall
street for use by the "bear" oper
ators at work on tteel stock. That la
another charge too serious to go un
challenged.
Mr. Littleton threatens to carry
hla fight to the floor of the house
this winter If the Stanley committee
turns him down. If he does we are
assured some fancy fireworks, for
when Martin W. takes to the wsr
path things are sure to happen. It
will be very strange, though, if the
democratic leaders risk such a con
dition. No matter what waa proved
or which way the verdict went. It
would tend to disrupt their political
organization and mar plans for the
future. Just now Littleton appears
to be ruffled at personal attacks, but
the chances are that he will be
calmed long before time comes to
precipitate a riot on the floor of the
house.
The Stay-at-Homei.
In the recent election held in Ne
braska tho total vote cast through
out the state was 225,380, according
to tho official canvass. In 1908,
being the last presidential election,
tho total vote polled in Nebraska
was 71,491. In the three years
elapsed since that high-water mark
the number of qualified voters en
titled to participate in the election
In Nebraska has unquestionably In
creased, no that It Is conservative to
figure the stay-at-homes at 50,000,
or almost 20 per cent,
Thla situation Is no different, per
haps, In 1911 than It has been in
other off years in reality the total
Is, wq believe, a little higher than
usual. But ,jflat does not alter the
stubborn fact that approximately one
voter out of five In Nebraska re
fuses to exercise hit right of tuffrage
In the odd election .years.
The general opinion It that a large
stay-at-home vote Is an evil that
should be remedied, but the remedy
baa not yet been proposed. One of
our lawmakers advocates a law to
penalize nonvotera by Imposing a
flO poll tax, of which $8 Is to be
refunded ..on presentation of a cer
tificate attesting participation in all
regular and special elections' held
during tbex preceding year. The nega
tive of this would be to pay a man a
premium of $8 a year for voting,
which might look more attractive.
Another suggestion Is that the stay-at-home
be disqualified to vote when
be fails to perform his duty and to
make reinstatement to the voting list
an onerous proceeding. . Still an
other way to eliminate the stay-at-
home vote would be to change our
method of balloting and. let the elec
tion officers gather . up the tickets
like a census taker instead of mak
ing the voter go to the polling place.
The stay-at-home 'problem Is not a
new one, yet seems to be becoming
more acute and perplexing, or rather
its consequences are becoming more
serious. A workable solution of It
would make a reputation over night
for the man presenting It.
The so-called competitive bids for
creosote block paving on which con
tracts were let In Omaha and South
Omaha last year proved to be noth
ing but a frameup, the contractors
simply fixing their own price, and
supporting it by collusive bids. Still,
at long aa taxpayer! ttand for It
meekly the tame performance will
be repeated at every opportunity.

A pair of plain clothes men of the po
lice department Harry Hallowell and
James O'Mara, last week Were given the
greatest thrill In all their experience by
an auto-lifting chauffeur. The latter
waa caught with the stolen car In New
York and was ordered to drive to tha
police station, ths detectives In the rear
seat As tho car nesred tha station the
chauffeur turned the throttle full open
and shot by the jug at a sixty-mile
clip, heading out on the Boston post
road.
"Turn around, I tell you!" shouted
O'Mara. "Stop your dumn speeding!".
No reply; only the throttle was clicked
a notch further open.
"I'll blow your bead off!" called the
detective, drawing his revolver.
"There'll be three of us dead then,"
answered the chauffeur. 1
O'Mara put hla revolver near Chase's
ear and fired. The powder singed the
chauffeur's hair, but the machine did not
slow up.
The next shot Will go through you,"
shouted O'Mara.
"Let her go," replied the man. "There's
a gully out there and we're headed
for It."
O'Mara was leaning over the bark of
the scat trying to steady ths wheel of
tho swerving, skidding automobile aa It
shot along the road. They were almost
to the city limits. Ahead the detectives
knew there was a turn in the road and
a thirty-foot excavation. It would be
Impossible to make ths turn at the rate
of speed the machine was making and
HaUowell waa leaning over the seat of
the careening machine trying to put his
hands on the throttle. ,
"See where we're going.", said the
chauffeur, looking toward tbe turn ahead.
Hallowell's eye lighted on a black
rubber contrivance at the front. Ha
gave a shout, lurched over the front
seat and Jerked out' the spark plug.
The engine stopped humming. The
big machine twent slower. It stopped
not many feet , from the turn, beyond
which was the excavation.

The Minnie W will start for Florida
today and later Mr. and Mrs. Hopkins,

ths amusement of their son a soo will be

slor Scheme for November.
November la here the trees stand out
bare
'Gainst the sky-line at ev a great yellow
glare.
And somewhow this rich hue appeals to
my eye
Like a vast pumpkin pie. '
Thro' my window, too. soon comes ths
daylight a-streaking.
And I gaae where rnee tints all the pale
daylight a-aneaklng.
And the hue of that aky, I declare, aulta
me well
Just like cranberry Jell.
Yes, November has come, as sure as your
Ufa;
There's an edge to the air it's as keen as
a knife;
The bright moon like a cycle la cleaving
the sky
And the turkey rooats high.
