Don't worry, la between the .two somewhere, Benny's good eye is riveted on the main chance. Third Party History. Although every political party has to have a start somewhere, third party history in thie country is not very inviting nor have convention bolts ever proved successful. The only real walkout recorded is that of the silver .republicans who, with tears in their eyes, said their fare wells at St. Louis because unwilling to yield their demand for 16 to 1 free silver, but the silver republicans, applauded as they were by the dem ocrats, were never heard of after that campaign. The same Is true of the gold democrats organized as a third party protest against the action of the democrats in that year. Jf there ever was an excuse for a bolt It was offered to Mr. Bryan and his followers in 1904, when the democratic national convention not only nominated Judge Parker over his objections, but the nominee amended the platform by wire after it was adopted. Despite the provo cation, however, Mr. Bryan stood fast within the party, and actually made speeches for Judge Parker rather than cut loose from the party which bad so signally honored him. Unless the lessons of the past no longer govern, the two great his toric parties must continue to hold the commanding positions in our national political arena. Parker's Coals of Fire. .What could there have been after all In Judge Parker's keynote speech offensive to Mr. Bryan? It heaped coa1sof fire upon the latter's head from flrst'to last," referring to him as ':that great leader".. whom the temporary chairman hoped would be unanimously chosen as chairman of the" platform .committee, and to "those three ' magnificent struggles that he made for the democratic party in this country." But aside from these bouquets for Mr. Bryan, If the speech, did. not sat isfy the NebraBkan'a progressive penchant, it must have been for its omissions, and not, its commissions. It was a key-noter which might have sounded as harmoniously twelve years ago as today, or twelve years hence. On the one band, It was a plea for conciliation, betraying the old guards' fear of Bryan, and on the other, it was a stereotyped anti republican, campaign deliverance. It dismissed the issue of reactionary Ism versus progresslvism by the amiable utterance that tlisre are no reactionaries today all lemocrivts are progressives-. It was a begging the question, not an aggressive note of battle, at all. It was In ' much the same strain as the cry of the man who bad caught the wildcat, but neededbelp to let him go. V,: , 4 " Six konthsbf Business. . ' For the first six months of 1912 business has bad. a sort of hurdle race, but it has cleared every ob struction and is in excellent condi tion for the , next lap. The year opened under more or less of a spell of uncertainty due in part to con ditions of the few years preceding, and in part to the coming national campaign, yet that uncertainty kept within limits and as soon as tangi ble evidences of prosperity asserted themselves, business quickly re sponded. According to all authorities, the genuine elements of good times are now with us. " Low stocks assure immediate employment of : labor without ' delay for consumption of present supplies.' Crops, are im proving,, .weather conditions are favorable. Labor, though, not as serene, as -it 1 might be, Is yet not menacing. 'One national convention is over and another; passing and business, surviving the first" tremor ol suspicion, now looks on the politi cal situation with more complacency. Railroads are faring better than they were, ordering new equipment for transporting fall crops and money a plenty Js in sight for the farmers' freight purposes. ; . . Medieval Slaughtering in Mexico. - Madero evidently has made little headway in teaching his troops the methods of civilized warfare. What ever progress he has achieved to ward settling his country's internal affairs, is not manifest in the re ports tilling of the wanton execu tion of 200 captives by the' federals la tu state of Morelos. Such depre dations by the constituted army cast a pall of discouragement upon the hope for enlightenment In- Mexico. One cannot read of this twentieth century barbarism without a shud der for the future of autonomy 'in this tempest-torn land. A wholesale slaughter of lives simply acts . upon the rebel warriors as a torrent -of Irritating arrows. What stupid fed erals fiendishly hall as a national conquest, is really a calamitous re pulse for the government." President Madero and the wiser heads of Mex ico certainly are not insensible to that. . . ' . . President' Gomez ; of "Cuba is charged with having -. promoted the ruction on the Inland for the pur pose of turning the laurels of . sup pression into campaign' thunder for re-election. Whether-, the charge is true or merely a campaign roorback, it is evident that Uncle Sam cannot play the role of teacher without im pressing some points of the game on the pupils. THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY! JUNE CAEE 0F THE BABY IN HOT WEATHER By R. W. Connell, Health Commissioner. f (By Request.) of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. and The baby's dress is very Important in what they contain: hot weather. All the clothes a healthy baby needs is a cotton diaper, a gauze shirt and a light cotton slip.

" ' v, . ' Springfield , (Mass.)' Republican. ' ' . . 1 In spite of bis nomination for the presl- dency by a rump convention participated In by a portion of hla followers, the Roosevelt tradition of invincibility Is shat- tered by his rout at Chicago. It was in 1910, immediately after his return from Africa In a blaze of International glory and renown, that he suffered his first serious disaster In falling to make his candidate, Mr, Stimson, governor of New York. But the Chicago catastrophe presses home far more closely and polg- nantly because Mr. Roosevelt himself, and not some understudy, has been from every possible, point of view the real victim of it. His was the plan of campaign., his was the supreme leadership and his would have been the victory had victory , been decreed. In no less a degree, the defeat is his also, and, lq certain of Its aspects, It is Suit as incomparable as the triumph would have been. While it in ay be too early to pass final judgment upon Mr. Roosevelt's campaign for the regular republican nomination, we may say some things of it that seem too hla Unending denunciations of the lnteg obvloua ever to be disputed. Had . it Tlty of a convention that was as sound succeeded, the world would have united and honest as any national convention in pronouncing it a marvel of political In the history of the party which la not resourcefulness, audacity and dash. And, high praise his constant suggestions and reviewing it now as a failure, there Is threats of a bolt, and his general atti slight need of tempering that portion of tude of bluster, and terrorism that finally the Judgment.'
