In their efforts to get and to gain,

No, ft is the appalling loaa ot life
that make this catastrophe so terri
ble. And of the real terror, the
frenzied terror, which must have
reigned on those doomed decks when
the awful realization of the Inevita
ble broke In upon the poor, pitiful
passengers, none ran apeak. Thoae
must bar been scene of indefinable
horror. To find one self suddenly
doomed to death at sea with every
avenne of escape and refuge cut off,
is a horror no one need try to de
scribe.
The world shall never know, prob
ably, what these poor mortals did,
and yet sometimes this end does not
bring despair. When the Valencia

Unfair Fight on Taft
In his speech before th New York
tat convention at Syracuse Septem
ber 17. 1110, Colonel Roosevelt said:
Th president of the tTntted Ststes. Mr.
Taft, has served his country honorably
abd usrif fitly la many i poaiUona ei

And then Colonel Rooaevelt after
appealing to the "people from the
standpoint alike of uatiof.ai and ataU
achievement," enumerated another
longer list of Taft fruitag and coo
cluded hi eloquent plea with this
striking peroratloa:
And the beneficence and far-reacoJag

Nobody daubred then that Colonel
BooseveH meant what h wa laying

over-(meant. Nobody, we belter, who haa
fallowed events, doubt today that it
Colonel Roosevelt were not himself
a candidate for a third term in the
White House he would be saying any
thing different ot President Taft, the
man whom h recommended to the
American people as his successor.
President Taft entered thl cam
paign determined on a clean, fair
fight Hi enemies have refused to
make that kind of a fight They are
waging an unwarranted campaign of
mendacity, the like of which recent
years have not witnessed. They have
centered everything In a peraonai as
sault of the official head of tha na
tion, aad thus far have discovered no
limit at which they are willing to
stop.
President Taft hss been anxious K
have the campaign so conducted that
whoever might become the republican
nominee he would b sure ot a united
party to face a common foe. His po
litical enemies have apparently no
such solicitude for the reunion of the
party agaia in one solid phalanx.
Absenteeism ia Congress.
It always has been a common ex
cuse for members of congre chided
about nonattendance upon tha regu
lar sessions of the house and senate
to explain that they were busy In the
committees, where tha real work is
done anyway.
Tha other day Senator Clark of
Arkansas Introduced a resolution
tending to compel better attendance
upon committee meetings, and In the
course ot debate Senator Warren of
Wyoming dropped thl very illumi
nating remark: .
I know In soma of tha committee, for
Instance In the committee on ciaim
which baa some thousands of Mil be
fore It during avsry eon trees, that son-
mitts finds It vary difficult to get Its
members to attend M to obtala a
quorum.
And what la true of this committee
Is doubtless true ot all ot them. In
the house as well a the senate. The
people do not elect men to congress
to afford them pleasant mean of di
version or additional source of In
come, though that would never be
guessed from the absenteeism o
common ia both bouses. It seems
ridiculous that effort hsv to be
mad to fore, by strategic means,
the paid "servsnts of the people" to
stay at their post and attend to the
people' business. Or, perhaps. It Is

In that capacity h received letter of
appreciation from committeemen from
almost svsry state In tb division and
from many others. It stands to reason
he can he aa useful and efficient in the
campaign of ml aa a new man who has
hsd bo experience snd ha not ss wlds

McCool Republican: Victor Rosewater

serving ss a member of the national re
publican com ml tie from Nebraska, an
will be voted on at the primary tlectlo
this month aa a candidate for this earn
position. He Is now the acting chairman
of the national committee. His experi
ence In the councils of th party fit him
for thl service, while his prominence
win bring sdded Increasing notice to
th state. On who ran get to the front
himself can naturally do a great deal of
good for the party, a naturally sufficient

tha republicans Ha wants a re nomina
tion and ta entitled to th place by vry
consideration of party service snd ex
pediency. Ths position is one of honor,
without salary- Tb man who holds th
position must pay his own expenses.
Rosewater' paper, Th Bee. ha been a
powerful Influent In favor of repub
licanism, while th man who oppose
htm has been listed ss sn Insurgent
which has no other meaning wh-n
rightly Interpreted thaa "assistant demo
crat." Unless th republican party wants
to commit suicide It cannot afford to put
doubtful political character on tb fir
ing line. Vote for Rosewster and a re
publican victory that will mean some
thing. Geneva Signal: A matter for repub
licans to settle at the primary April IS
to th choice ot a member ot their
national committee. Victor Rosewater,
editor of th Omaha Bee, la serving In
that capacity and Is a candidate for a
second term. Jtls only opponent has
been pushed Into thl matter by a few
people who don t like Mr. Rosewater. It
would he strange if everybody In a
metropolitan city would Ilk the publisher
of a great dally newspaper. It seems to
us that Mr. Rosewater ta the mors cap
able and desirable man ot the two. The
opponent ef the republican party would
be glad to have th Omaha Boa on their
aid of th questions that com up.
Therefore It la of advent to the re
publican party to have th service of a
newspaper like Th Bee and the repub
lican of the state ought to treat Mr.
Koswwatar, It dltor, with consideration
and extend a smalt courtesy like this
whea .opportunity offers, e-refl though
they may not agree with htm in all ot
his opinions. No two af us aver agrje
on all sutters snd H Is silly to expect
any editor to be entirely without opinion
Vote for Mr. Rosewater. -Western

appointed that No. 190 did not take some
action to give Victor Rosewster a boost
as s candidate for national committeeman
at Its last meeting." said a prominen
member who doss not work on Th Bee
snd who has worked in Omaha twenty-
five years. "Sickness kept me from ths
last meeting. I am sure It was aa over
sight on tb part of th members. I
know the onion and th member haw
always bean enerou snd sincere In tnel:
efforts for O. M. Hitchcock every t'm
he has been a candidal. I thing It r
correct In giving to tb senator all th.
aid It could, but let as be fair with Vlctv
Rosewater. H ia entitled to the sarr
treatment from th members of No. 19
aa Mr. Hitchcock. II to record aa an em
ployer of our members la as good as Mr.
Hitchcock's. He has never turned a deaf
ear to th union or its members la bis
life. He, too. to th publisher of a great
newspaper and his success politically and
professionally la our success. I don't
think It IS toe law yet t set th union
and It member right with Victor Rose-
water. There to Urn to call a special
meeting ot th union and show aim u
thoughtless neea was purely aa oversight.
and la addition tb Individual aaemben
can make aa extra effort to aid him in
his honorable ambition to be national
committeeman from Nebraska. At lea
we can be Just aid fair to him."

v THS SHADOW.
Last night 1 Walked through a land of
dream
Te where ths flowers of life had died;
There th Desert ef Death with sand
filled seams
Stretched far away en every side.
I walked tin I came to tha Lake ot the
Lost
Where phantom shadows lay.
And the pulse of life no longer tossed
This feverish bit of clay.
I watched from afar the milling of men
And heard the dvlng plaintive cry.
And 1 pondered again and again
The evar unanswerable "why?"
For men have reached ut for life with
out death
Inc th time of the living began:
Tbelr thirst 1 aad Celt tor tb waters of
Lethe,
For I had rua the same courses they
rsa.
i
But there wss peace In this shadowy lake.
Far from th fighting of men;
I was glad I had lived with their Joy
and their ache
And glad I would never live evar again.
