Wlit it Boponiiblet
According to Mr. Bryan, our dem
ocratic United State senator, G. M.
Hitchcock, is now In "a conspiracy"
with Wsll street to give Governor
Harmon the votes of the delegate
from Nebraska in the Baltimore con
vention and is preparing to help aa-
asasinaie the party and surrender it
to "the Interests."
But it is lea than two years ago
that Mr. bryan was traveling up and
down the state' doing good tor the
same Senator Hitchcock and urging
voters, irrespective ot party, to. cast
their ballots for him.
Mr. Bryan knew as much three
rears ago about Senator Hitchcock,
bla personal proclivities and his po
litical alliances aa he does bow, but
evidently deemed It the safe thing to
stay with him rather than bolt his
nomination along with that of Dahl
man for governor.
If Mr. Hitohcock'a elevstloa to the
senate has Increased his political
power and strengthened his arm to
battle for Governor Harmon. Mr,
Bryan has only himself to bold re
sponsible for It.
Ho Monopoly of Good Men.
There will be slate and slates for
the coming primary and election to
choose councilman to . inaugurate
Omaha's new commission plan of
city government But no one ot
them will have a monopoly of good
men. For the partisan of any
"late.? no matter with what high
sounding nam it may be labeled, to
pretend that It alone represent hon
esty and improvement la government
and that all who withhold support
from a particular comblna of office-
seekers is aa enemy of good gov
ernment. Inspired with selfish mo
tives and a greedy purpo, will not
go down with thinking people.
Omaha' future 1 not going t rla
or fall with those 'who proclaim
their on lofty sentiments and lay
claim to Mclu.lv property la thm.
Th- sam thing applies, to so-
called platform pledge.' 'Promise
of this kind cqulr no.sacrednea
becaus promulgated with a mono-
grsmed endorsement which Itself
may seed endorsement 'to pas car
rent at par. ' Promina ar good only
as corroborated by personal records
and create, no Jssu wfcer all sub
scribe to substantially th sam
thing. There ia no monopoly of good
men and ther la no monopoly either
of good Intentions.
Well, Then, Settle It
Th president Of, th mln work
ers' union decline th proffer of
outside assistance In cettllng th dis
pute between . th miner sad th
employer, Insisting tha.t do lssus
exists between them that call for
txUaaapba Intervention or that
c4nuqt be met by them. That Is well.
Vvhjr prolong th' argument unduly,
then? Why ' Dot Settle th dispute
ad let business take It course?
Can th mer suggestion by Pres
ident Taft hav had so wholesome
aa Influence already a to. bring both
Ides to their better seme oa this
proposition? Psrhap It ha don
n harm.' W rather think this of
ficial ta correct, that ther I no de
mand at present for th govern
ment's aid, no Issu that cannot be
settled without It, and. if th leaders
oa both sides will tak their atten
tions oft their own Immediate Inter-
eat long enough to place tham upon
the interest of th public, th con-
sqmers of coal, they will be even
more convinced that tbey ought to
get together and that promptly.
On Pennsylvania mln company
haa promised to raise lta wage 10
per cent' on April 1, and to treat
with th miner aa to other demands.
It thla company can afford to do that,
satins; Independent of th other.
why, is it not posslbl for th re
mainder to reach com sort of an
agreement? By no mean should a
stMk b precipitated. The country
I in bo mood forit and will not en
dure It complacently.
t rrr. ;
. Wireless Telephone.
.Marconi say we shall not hav to
wait long for wireless telephones.
He see a line strung from New Tork
to Chicago In th very near future.
H see another one a llttl later oa
reaching from th Atlsntl to th
Pacific, aad then, no doubt, he will
see a great system criss-crossing th
eontlaeat from esst to west and
north, to south. .
For local and suburban service,
th wire telephone I not likely any
time sooa to be supplanted by the
wireless, w imagine, but for trans
continental aervlc th present sys
tem I none too efficient and almost
totally deficient In crossing th Rock
ies. Th great Bell monopoly haa
not yet succeeded In establishing any
practical connection between the
Missouri river country and th Pa
cific eoaat, and It is. doabtful if It
ever will, though come effort ar
being exerted in .that direction now.
It i ia quit possible that this- field
will hav to be left for the wire leas.
Why should not th wireless occupy
It? If wireless telegraphy ia feasi
ble over ocean, certainly- It would
be over mountains aad great
stretches of level territory.
' Marconi believe that the wire
less U th only feaal kl system for
this larger eommunicatioa; that k
can be - maintained at lees expense
and wMth" better result than the wire
line. .Th very costers platioit of
ths -wonderfsl advance Into, th
field of cien.o with a natural
secret revealed to us but yesterday.
It seems, serves to remind this gen
eration of the swift progress it is
making. Th telephone. Itself, 1 a
comparatively new device and yet
before we finish stringing up it
lines, w are overtaken by another
method of long distance communica
tion almost weird la its modernity.
Federal Parole law.
A bill providing for a law to parole
all federal prisoner who hav
served aa much aa fifteen year haa
passed one branch of congress and
may pas the other.. If It. reaches
the president It ia to be hoped he
will veto It ,",''-
.There is bo demand or need for
such a law and this is an especially
inopportune Urn to urge the propo
sition, la the light of recent events
In two of our states. What this
country needs more than a law, to
turn hardened criminal loose oa so
ciety indiscriminately. Is power of
some sort that will tend to check
outlawry aad mako punishment fit
th crime. No publlo need would
be served by a law which say to a
criminal, no matter what he may
hav don. "When you hav served
fifteen years yon may go."
"Lov laugh at locksmiths,' and
crime grins at law that propose soft
compromise. -
Th primary law says that nomi
nating petitions shall bo incontest
able after three day "if la apparent
conformity with the provisions of
thla act" But how petition bear
ing prima facie spuriqua and forged
names can be ta conformity with th
law Is not explained.- No protect
whatever should b necessary to Im
pre th aecretary of atat with bla
duty to reject a faka petition any
more than to reject on with a hort
ag of names.
' Had It only been known that Sec
retary of Stat Walt would accept a
valid a primary petition signed up
by oa maa with th name of a lot
of other men, H would hav saved
all th candidate time, trouble and
money. It 1 much cheaper to man
ufacture a petition thaa to gather it
through autograph collectors. '

. THE KNOCKER.
W. D. Neablt in Chicago Post i
Opportunity knocked at his door. ' "
Rapped and rapped, and then thumped;
some more, . .
But he . , , , ;
Was knocking bis friends who had found
success.
"I knowed em," he growled, "when they
had much leaa.
And never a on of 'em earned a cent
Why. many' the time they were stuck:
for rent
rv knowed em. by Jinks! wbea they alt
enjoyed
Cora beef, ' their euffs were celluloid;
An' many an" many a th time.
They've been right down to their last lone .
dime. -' "
But now, by crlckey: they're rich n" cold:-
They've got all the cash that their hand .
can hold . fj
They try to be friendly, but I can e -
It s Just condescending they Want to be
To me!"
And O. how he knocked as be thought of
how
His friends had succeeded. Of the aad -Now

He growled. .
He cited the fact that they started fair.
That he had the chance that they had
hack there.
And now they were cashing on brain aad
nerve
They re living in style that tbey don't
deeerv,
An' some of 'era think that they've
leaped to fame.
Dadburn 'em! They ask folks to print
their name!
Why I'm Just as good ss th whole '
blamed bunch.
But that Just the way that things goes;
I might

Ho scowled!
So opportunity' knocked at his door.
Rapped and rapped, and then thumped
some mors,
That day.
But ha was so busy knocking, too.
That what she was doing he never knew;
H made so much sou that o could not
hear
Th summons she sent to his deafened ear.
So Opportunity shook her head
And silently, softly, surely aped -
