Tbo guardi at tbo penitentiary, wo are Informed, aro mostly boys eft tbo farm or man down and out, das pairing of earning mors !a any other oecnpattoa. Tbo guard with even alight ambition, or fair ability, does not stay long, and ths others frequently fall to with stand tha temptation tbs prison pats before them. It seems to ua tbs real demand at tbs penitentiary Is for deputies sad guards who can handle tba prisoners humanely, yet firmly, and eserctse good common tease la emergencies. It will take mors money than f 4( a month to man tba penitentiary with tbs right kind of priaon authorities publican. Tbey, too, would luffer. Ah, here is the answer In tbla house record Of last year: "I do," aaya CI us Sprecklea, and "I do," aaya Charles R. Ueike. Does tbe consumer of sugar think that Messrs. Sprecklee and Ueike wtah tbe tariff removed from sugar In order that tbey. out of tbe good seas of their hearts, might reduce the price of sugar? Chairman Underwood has a sweet meas oa his hands la promulgating hie presidential campaign oa a free sugar platform. Winter la yet likely to beat out bo lb tbe Camorrlst trial and the Lorlmer bearing. Major Archie Butt need to be s newspaper reporter. Probably cov ered the army ran. Cbarleatoa has a hostelry called "Hotel Bugg." Entirely too sug gestive for comfort. No little dirty-faced urchin waa there to boiler "Cobs oa you." when Adam ate his first apple. Onr grand jury will hare to do something If It expects to make prom ise and performance tally. Wonder who put op tbs money to get Councilman Davis to make bia aelf scarce without peaching on any. one else? The Houston Poat discourses at length upon "Cons Johnson's Weak' neta as a Candidate." Could It be la his flrat name? Tbs colonel says all bs asks of ths national committee la a "square deal" Tbat la all President Tart asks of ths colonel. . , It Mr. Hearst Is tot mentioned for the presidency In at least halt a dosea cities every week or so, It Is bis own fault, or that of hla editors. Tbs United Btaea'ffee bill stead ily Increases. Last year It came to more tbaa $97,000,000. Somebody mast be taking bia three cups every mas I. But If Governor Bbafroth wars known outside bis stats and had a gbost of a show for tbs nomination. Mr. Bryan might favor soms othsr man. ' Ths woman who pat all ber money la tbe sugar bow tbat was stolen, was doubtless laying up agalnat tba time when Underwood's tree sugar bill would be a law. Aa exchange suggests tbat several eminent Americans bad to be con tent with almply being mentioned for tbe supreme court. That la possibly all they wanted. It doesn't hurt business a bit, you know. Tbe home-coming ot Mr. Bryan finds his followers still waiting to bear him announce ,hla preferred candidate for president. Suppose Metcalfe and Edgar Howard hare guessed wrong. Great Heavens'. Kr. Irru'i lirtidajr Party. Tbat Bryan birthday dinner Is a significant affair. Ths names of R. Psttlgrew and George Fred Wil liams remind us of tbs good eld dol lar dinner days ot 'II. It only Charier" Towne were there and Coin" Harvey and few more of the old guard. But In .heir places are newer apostles of tbe great eonv- atoner, Ollle James and Beuator Oors snd Congressman Hoary aad Mil lionaire Frederick T. Martin. , But what Is It all about T Progressive democracy, one would assume from the array of toasts set down opposite tbe speakers' names. Bnt back sf progressive democracy, what? Why do tbeae old friends and new gather from the quarters of the lead oa tbe Knob bill of Lincoln to honor a thrice defeated candidate for president? And the echo answers. Why? Ah, three timea, to be aura, are a good many, but where In those fif teen years haa tbs party developed a man to take bit placet Wilson and Harmon, It Is even sow believed, will deadlock. . Betwesea Mr. Bryan, tbe Steal trust's friendship, free sugar aad a few othsr burdens, te say noth ing of bailing from Dixie, Underwood aeema not to be the man. Champ Clark creates only a smile. Dark horses should know the road; they should be baiter broke, at least: they ahould even ride double It necessary, Every bow snd then ons thinks be beara tbs sound of Majormtonemaa cot, oft la tbs distant Esmeraldo, calling, "Get the aaddle, matter." That Alaskan Hallway. A new coaling station la the Pa cific ocean for American ahips It one ot tbe large advantage to be de rived from the plan of Secretary fisher for completing a railway from Resurrection bay back to the rich coal fielda ot Alaska. But that la only one of tbe advantages among tbe many. Another one greater by far than tbla would be the advance ment toward Alaskan development that would follow from this ss the opening wedge. Not only would the building of this railroad drive a vig orous probe Into the vast eosl mines. as yet untapped, but It would, aa la tbs history of all pioneer railroads. opea np the path to agricultural de velopment and other industries, Aad tbla la exactly what the president and secretary of the Interior are counting on la urging this plan. Ths United State haa too great a aeed for the coal, to aay aotblng of other Alaskan resources, longer to endure delay In getting at this maiden tuel. And It It Is ever to de velop Alaska, It ahould begin now. That la why ths country is ae Insist ent la urging action by congress and It Is astonishing that even from the standpoint of political sxpediency that body does not respond to ths de mand. Secretary Fisher's proposal, ap proved by the president, ot transfer ring the workman aad equipment teed In building tbe Panama canal to thla work la Alaska when the canal Is completed suggests tbs poastblll ties of tbs government maintaining a permanent construction force. It has a vast amount ot now work to be done and could, ao doubt, employ tuch aa army of workmen for Veara continuously. And from tbe wsges paid oa tbs Panama canal and doubt less to be paid in Alaska, tbs service will provs very desirable and profit' able for the men. Ths nsxt ten years la euro to see tremendous develop ment In Alaska, a wsll ss la our own northwest states, where the gov. erameat I reclamation department haa so much ahead ot it. Those who are trying to blame 'resident Tart for letting Dr. Wiley resign, should remember tbst, la re signing, Dr. WUey takes occasion to ex pre bia appreciation ot the square deal be received from the president, ,A Missouri paper speaks of tbe tragedy in Virginia as "primevsl Jus tice." Certainly primeval, but where la the justice In a baad ot despera does breaking Into court and killing oft. tbe Judge, sheriff and pro ecu tor, . Senator La rolletta positively and uncompromisingly Insists tbat ao on who la tor bia for president eater Into any kind of combination with any other candidate tor president What are the La Pollette boosters la Xtbraak going to do about It? Who Withas Free Snrtr! When tbo special committee ot the house last year waa Investigating the American Sugar Refining company, Congressman Ford nay put tbla ques tion to Charles R. Helke, for thirteen rears secretary ot this company, tbs alleged trnat: Kow, It the duty were removed abao. lutrly from ansa-, could ww produce atlher eaaa or beets in (tile country? ' Mr, Heiks's answer waa: I doubt It very much. . Mr. Pbnlner-Thea that-free' sugar wowat destroy absolutely the toduatry I thla country? Mr. tlatke-Tae. Mr. Fordney-Aad yew would approve of that? Mr. Hetka-Tee. la thla tarn hearing. Congress man Hinds asked Claus A. Sprecklee, the sugar king, tbla question: la ether word. Barbae, yau would take tha tariff alt oft ot sucar. would yaw wot, and have free trade? Mr. Bpracklae I would hare tree trad. Tbe record of that bearing ahould make very Interesting reading for Chairman Underwood, as he urges the democratic bill for free augar oa the ground that It will deal a blow to the treat and benefit the smsll producer and consumer. Down la New Orleans tbe other day a mass meeting, which the Picayune saya. comprised "all elements of tbe com munity, packed a large hall to pro test against ths Underwood bill, oa tbe ground" that, if passed, it would destroy the sugar bnalBesa of tbat state, which constituted 40 per cent of Its agricultural production. Surely there can be no politics la Louisiana's fight with the Alabama congressman and hla democratic colleague. Who. then, wishes the tariff re moved from augarT Not tbe cane growers of tbe south, says ths New Orleans Picayune. Not the beet grow ers ot the west, says the Denver Se-I When tbe cell bouse burned at ths penitentiary some dosea years ago Ths Bee urged vigorously that ths whole Institution be relocated and rebuilt at soms other point In ths tats better adapted to the purpose. That was good advtos then, and it may still bs good advice for tbe next legislature to act oa. Mr, Bryan's Commoner, la big, black type, calls upon ths democrats In selecting delegates to their na tional coavsatlea to "put none bnt the faithful on guard." Tbat la quite safs. But will Mr. Bryan here In Nebraaka publicly list those aspirants who srs "unfaithful?'1 President Tart aaya bs wsleomes tbe direct primary wherever sur rounded by tbe proper legal safe guards. It should be distinctly ua deretood no primary It surrounded by proper tateguardt tbat permits dsmocrats to choose nominees for republicans or vice versa. North Dakota votes today, tbe first of the presidential preference primary states. - The expectation, however, tbat the result there will be controlling la other states la likely to be disappointed.

The men t talk with stand firmly with tbe president and members of bis cab inet la dentin nations of tbe Isise doc trines kawa aa th judicial recall, the Initiative aad the referendum. Ia view of tha fact tbat Mr. Taft haa done his utmost to promota the policies of government tor which Mr. Roosevelt stood when tn the White House, aad ba been very ueeeasfu la promoting them. H Is difficult te see bow there could be great variance as between th psrtlssns ot Roosevelt and those ef Taft, who may find themselves members of lbs commit tee en resolutions la the national esnven ttloav I take It tbat they will nearly all concur In what Mr. Taft has does, and to me R seem quit likely tbat about the only paint ef difference will relate to those three soclsllstlo beresies-ths judi cial recall, the Initiative and th referen dum.

If aot wholly, committed to those alleged doctrines, and President Taft baring flatly expressed hi oppose Uoa thereto, Isn't It reasonable to sup ra that tbe racttoaal leaders oi our party la Nebraska will join these Issues altlroelely add divide their strength upon th questions eonosralng them?
