Lively in Kaisachasttt.
Tbe approaching presidential pri
mary in Massachusetts with Presi
dent Tatt already there, and Colonel
Roosevelt scheduled to follow. Is
making thinga lively In tbe old Bay
state. In the president's speeches
be has taken the offensive In defense
against tbe attacka made on him and
his administration by Mr. Roosevelt,
giving first hand, and in incisive lan
guage, tbe facta out of which tbe
colonel's antagonism bss sprung, and
which form the basis of bis convic
tion that he haa not had a aquare
deal from hla predecessor and present
competitor. Mr. Taft la, aa nsual,
naive and frank, and more than usu
ally forceful la bis narration. His
appeal cannot fall to arouse those
who ere not set against him, as It Is
also sure to arouse a renewed charge
by the colonel.
All this goes to accentuate Massa
chusetts aa the battleground royal In
the preliminary campaign. All sides
agree that the outcome la Massachu
setts will be largely controlling, if
not decisive, on the nomination at
Cblcago.
Kacibr with a Tornado.
That was not s very spectacular
act which Engineer O'Brien did In
halting his train whan ba found he
could not outrun tbe tornado, but It
waa nevertheless a feat of cool
headed wisdom and Judgment, In
which, surely, the element of heroism
figures somewhere. Hsd the engi
neer either exercised poorer Judg
ment or lost his head entirely and at
tempted, la spite of what conditions
forecasted, to fly through another
few mllea of space and beat tbe tor
nado. It la possible, even probable,
that many Uvea wonld have perished.
As It waa, not a paasengsr or train
man waa killed outright, though sev
eral were Injured and ona or two
may possibly not recover.
But whaL mar be asked, should a
klllsd and experienced engineer be
supposed to do under such circum
stances? Just what O'Brien did, only
the tragic fact la too many fall at Just
such crucial momenta. And It la,
therefore, worth while to record how
Engineer O'Brien slowed down his
train whsn ha aaw It waa being out
run by tbe tornado, thus avoiding
mora serious consequences. It is
quit the hsblt to dwell upon "humsn
fallibility" and other causes or ex
cuses for railroad wrecks, but here
la an Instance when but for human
fallibility, which did not fall, nature's
forces would bars wrought far
greater havoc
Contests. '
According to present prospects,
there will be mora seats contested at
Chicago than at aay previous national
convention.' The record tor contest
ing delegates 'was made In tba last
republican convention at Chicago In
1101, when over 100 delegates'
places were In dispute. Convention
contests, therefore, are neither novel
nor necessarily ominous, but reflect
rather tbe existence of rival dual or
gsnliatlona In many states or sharp
and close factional conflicts tor con
trol. The contests are not confined,
either, to tbe southern states, where
peculiar eondltlona must be met, but
come from the north ss wsll. Neither
would the contests be obviated with
any degree of certainty by tbe selec
tion of dslegatea by direct vote In
stead of by conventions, or even by
the complete substitution of the pres
idential primary, for wa have fre
quent contests In legislative bodies,
and, for that matter, disputed elec
tions of executive and Judicial offi
cers where direct vote governs. The
democrats, too, are assured of soma
con testa at Baltimore, so that neither
political party will bars a monopoly
of them. The contests, therefore,
will have to be threshed out this year
aa heretofore, with a view to a quars
deal for all concerned, and ultimate
party auccess at the polls.
Ho Coal Strike.
Tbe threatened strike In tbe an
thracite mines has been averted. Tbe
miners and employer hsvs found a
better way of adjusting their differ
ences. This Is welcome news to the
consumers of coal all over this coun
try and to the public generally5: Bet
ter than all, It la proof of progress
In the economy of .Industrialism. It
Is aa apparent blow to the strike as
the solvent for labor disputes. It
suggests that reason and Justice are
coming Into larger play aa the me
dium of negotiation and settlement.
During the great strike some years
ago George F. Baer waa at tbe bead
of tbe anthracite mine owners, and
he la still at their head. He gained
tbe Ill-will, not only of union men,
but of people of various classes all
over the country by a conduct re
garded aa unjuatlflably arrogant in
that former conflict. But Mr. Baer
haa displayed a very different atti
tude In the late controversy. No
doubt he Is entitled to much of ie
credit for arriving at a peaceful ad
justment The point or this la that
we are making progress; that men
who seven or eight years ago refused
to arbitrate, today occupy advanced
ground. It la such an attitude aa this,
both on tbe aids of labor and capital,
that will work out our Industrial
problems and give more power to
both aides. Intrenching them In the
good will and confidence of the pub
lic, which at last to the party with
most at stake.
On hla twenty-fifth marriage anni
versary Mr. Carnegie advlaea all men

The Culture Side of Omaha.
Omaha ta pushing rapidly forward
In everything that goea to make a
great cosmopolitan city, and In no di
rection more noticeably than on the
culture aide, as haa been strikingly
attested on numerous occasions. The
success of the recent musical festival,
measured both by artistic standards
and by the exceptional interest, en
thusiasm and attendance, must be
specially gratifying to all our music
lovers, as waa the success of tbs art
exhibit, to the rapidly growing num
ber of art lovers smong us. Devo
tion to music, painting and tbe other
finer arts, flourishing study clubs
snd appreciation of eminent lecturers
In science and letters are manifesta
tions of culture being steadily em
braced by a larger and larger propor
tion of our community, and help to
attract people to Omaha as a desira
ble place to live.
Whit similar rttle have doubled In
population la the laat ten year, Omaha
ha shown a gain of only ROTO. There la
only on answer. It Is our corrupt po
litical condition, which w are now seek
ing to riant
This declaration in a public speech
comes from a Citizens' union slate-
maker, who will vote In Omaha for
tbe first time tbe coming city elec
tion. It la barely possible some of
tbe real builders of Omaha, who trave
stood the heat and burden, not of the
days or the months, but of the years
and the decades, have done nearly as
much for the clty'a welfare aa haa
thla newcomer, and will not take
kindly to the decry of the town by
aa Imported reformer.
Tbe vault fixture bida for our new
county court house have been pulled
down M.000, equal to 10 per cent of
tbe quoted price. Wonder who waa
to have gotten that 14.000 If tbe
original deal had gone through.
The republican selections for com
missioner by our democratic contem
porary are good aa far aa they go.
It all the democrata will keep la tbe
republican column they will not be
apt to make many mistakes.
The report that our Omaha Na
tional Guard companies are talking
of disbanding because their armory
haa been burned must certainly be a
mistake. Our soldier boys have more
pluck than that.

Blanketed by th overshadowing detail
of the ocean disaster were two events
bearing directly oa th chaotic condition
of affairs In north Africa. The appear
ance of the Italian fleet at th antrance
to ths Dardanelles and th bombardment
of th tort tends to confirm reports of
unsatisfactory result of the Italtaa cam
paign la Tripoli. Tbe bombardment Is
regarded both as a naval "feeler" and
a prod for International mediation, the
hopelessness of which may be Inferred
from the Ottoman government' ex
pressed willingness to welcome peace
overture conditioned on th preservation
of Turkey's territorial integrity. Th re
volt In Fes, directed against French reg
ulations, though quickly suppressed by
machine guns, supplied the customary
"baptism of blood" which marks In
Morocco th ecllps of Moslem power.
Th determined defense of Tripoli aad th
massacre In Fes are pronounced symp
toms of Moslem unrest extending from
tba Red saa te th Atlantic. A corre
spondent of ths Saturday Review, who
observed and described eondltlona la
Alexandria and Cairo, Tunis and even In
the towns of southern Algeria, expressed
the belief thst ther waa developing a
general. If sot t concerted, revolt of
African Moslems against ths aggression
of so-called "Christian nations." The
cause of this unrest all writers agree,
is the Italian Invasion of Tripoli. Other
Invasions, French snd British In Algeria,
Tunl and Egypt, have left the form of
the Mohammedan world unchanged, or
their modifications hsve become matter
of custom. Even la Morocco French ad

SOUTH OMAHA. AprU K.-TO the
Editor of th Bee: But do the people
rule? Certainly not Our recent election
was a burlesque intermingled with tbe
comic. It wss a sham and fraud upoa the
lntelllgeac. s well as the uninformed
ciusens of Nebraska. The ballot Itself
wss a disgrace to modern progress, cal
culated to deceive, mislead and confuse
all those who have tbe courage snd te
merity to tackl It Thousand of our
people waa afraid to risk their ability
to correctly comprehend, as ths result
shows thst one-half of the voters in th
ststc stayed at home and failed to ex
ercise their vsunted franchise.
It required a very acute and shrewd
person to vote thst lengthy and compli
cated elgM toot slip of paper, contain
ing about ona hundred and thirty names
of candidates, unless the voter personally
knew moat of ths candidates, and very
tew of them die, or marked snd prepared
a sample ballot before entering tbe poll
ing booth. Therefore the voter wss un
able to distinguish between truly loyal
republicans who have worked assiduously
for ths fundamental principle of our
party, some of them since the parti
organisation.
Through ths perfidy of Colonel Roose
velt our party In Nebraska, has lost a
United State senator, aa active and ef
ficient member of the national commit
tee, and I believe the next governor. To
the though tie aad Indifferent voters,
and there are many ef them, this may
not seem very important, but te every
true republican wbo favors the magnifi
cent policies ef the party. It appear like
a travesty on ths principals of fustic

WHERE MANHOOD PERISHES HOT.
Harvsy M. Thaw In New York Herald.
Where cross th line of forty north and
nrty-fourteen wet
There roll a wild and greedy sea
With death uoon It crest
No stons or wreath from human bands
win ever mrx tn spot
Whsn fifteen hundred men went down.
But Manhood perished not
Old Ocean take but llttl heed
Of human tear or woe.
No (hafts adorn th ocean grave.
Nor weeping willow grow.
Nor la there need of marble slab
To keep In mind th spot
Where nob! men went down te death.
But Manhood perished not!
Those men who looked en death and
smiled.
And trod ths erumbllnc deck.
Have saved much mors than precious
lives
From out that awful wreck.
Though counties Joys and bops and
rears
Were shattered at a breath,
Tl something that the nam ef Haa
Did not go dowa to death.
'lis not an easy thing to die,
E en in th open air.
Twelve hundred mile from bom and
friend.
Ia a shroud of black despair.
A wroth to erown the brow of maa.
And bid a former blot
Will ever blossom o'er th waves
Whsrs Manhood perished not
