Luke ain't done nothln', is he? as they would say In Texas. Of course, August could, if It tried, be an awful fool month by attempt ing to break every crazy record set before it. . It is amusing to note how far away from praising the democratic national standard-bearer the Houston Post can come these days. It seems that along with the old emperor died Japan's case against the Korean converts. And It is a good case for Japan to let die. Mrs. Belmont says she would scrub floors to help the suffragette cause. Well, there is nothing diB graceful in scrubbing floors. The colonel's only explanation for repudiating the man he recommended for president Is that Mr. Taft insisted on being president, himself. Those petty Detroit crooks hardly got on the front page till they were slammed viciously into the want ads by the real grafters in New York. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, a decent regard for the fitness of things would have given "Mike' Harrington a place on the bull moose delegation to Chicago.

I Eighty-five' self-called attendants on I a mass meeting named sixteen dele 5 gates to the Chicago bull moose con vention to represent 46,000 Nebraska voters who expressed their preference for Roosevelt in the .primary. Let the people rule. The Lincoln Journal intimates that the campaign committee created by the Aldrich-Yeisef state conven tion will do nothing for or against either, Taft or Roosevelt. We can tee what the coione! will do to any ; ommittee made up of his professed supporters that adopts such a pro gram. . New Party Same Old Methods. Despite its idol's fierce denuncia tion of the old parties, the projected new party is employing the very same methods, and the very same ma chinery. Here we see the new third party convention being organized by a na tional committee made up of one member from each state, this na tional committee being absolutely self-constituted without even pre tense of a popular commission. Here we see this committee claim ing to typify reform and emancipa tion starting out with closed doors and secret sessions to avoid the pub licity accorded by the old parties. Here we see contesting delegations coming up from southern states whose electoral votes are already foreclosed. Here we see the negro question again rising as a perpetual puzzle inescapable by any party promising equal rights to all. ' Here we see this self-constituted national committee relieving the con vention of the necessity of selecting its temporary chairman and other officers. And above all, we see the conven tion made up of delegates chosen, not by direct primary, but hand-picked, and often in direct violation of the primary laws of the states they are supposed to represent. In a nutshell we see a convention built on excoriation of the bosses, yet with its own program prear ranged and Its action In every detail fore-ordained without leaving dele gates the slightest freedom of choice. Down with the old boss-ridden parties! Up with the new party of the people! Baiting the Negro. It is rather astonishing that any one should venture to attack the re publican party for not giving the black man a square deal. No well informed person can be ignorant of the falsity and baselessness of such a charge. All' that has been done for the negro race in this country, from the emancipation to this day of his splendid advancement, has had its in ception and the fostering aid in the republican party, and never more than during the last three and a half years. To feign a different view is an imputation on the good sense and intelligence of the colored people. The sane, self-respecting negro does not need to have self-seeking poli ticians tell him when he has a square deal. He knows that were it not for the republican party and the op portunities it has brought he would still be little advanced from the depths of the slavery from which it freed his race in this country. . The Steel Committee's Report. It does not appear from the ma jority report of the Stanley steel in vestigation committee that the United States Steel corporation's acquisition of the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany in any way militated against the rounding out and perfection of this most gigantic combine. Twilight or midnight mergers are not among the recommendations for curbing its rapacity or limiting its scope of legi timate power with competitors, if there are any competitors left In ex istence. The committee has spent about a year at Its work and finds after all, what was all along obvious, that about the most effective remedy to apply to the trust aggression is adequate publicity. One thing Is quite certain, that the potency of publicity thoroughly and consistently applied will not conduce to the hatch ing of evil schemes in dark places in steel or anything else. No one now pretends to say that Messrs. Morgan, Gary and Frick would have been able to put their Tennessee coal and iron deal across if the public had been taken Into confidence in the negotia tions. " The committee's work and recom mendations are not likely to prove a panacea, but some things in them are worthy of favorable considerations. Politics, of course, is not one of these. President Taft's action in starting prosecution under the Sherman law, In the meantime, is what counts. Oitford Pinchot, Dr. Wiley and Mr. Bryan spoke at the same Chau tauqua on the same day In Kansas. A leading western newspaper that sits as the moral monitor on the Missouri-Kansas border in ' chronicling the meeting quotes Pinchot's speech at length, tells in a few lines what Wiley said and adds: "W. J. Bryan also spoke." Give three guesses as to the paper's politics. Mr. Bryan knew what he was do ing when he put the limit of cam paign contributions authorized by law in Nebraska at $1,000. Wonder, however, if he has filed with the clerk of the county in which he re- Bides a statement of his donation as the law requires. Nebraska's nomination of ex-Senator Beverldge for vice president seems to have landed him as candl date for governor in the head place on the bull moose ticket in Indiana. This ought to clear the track for the vice presidential aspirations of our own Colonel John O. Yelser. It will be admitted that Clarence Darrow is giving them a run for their money.

Mayor Boyd being absent from the city and Acting Mayor Herman, taking a little Hklp over into Iowa, City Clerk Jewett was paralyzed by suddenly finding him self elevated to the mayoralty. At a meeting of the Omaha Social Art club it was decided to make an exhibit at the state fair. The match game between the Union Pacifies and the B. & M.'s had to be called off on account of rain after three Innings.

Twenty Years Ago The opening gun of the national cam paign In Omaha was fired by Governor McKinley of Ohio at night on the high school grounds, where thousands of peo ple gave a tremendous ovation to the distinguished speaker and listened to all he -had to say with close attention. Ac companying the governor to the grounds were Charles J. Greene, Mayor George P. Bemls, Edward Rosewater, W. J. Connell, Andrew Rosewater, Judge C. R. Scott, Thomas Swobe, P. L. Perrlne, Ralph W. Breckenrldge, Rev. J. G. Tate or Hastings, republican candidate for lieutenant governor, was recognised In the crowd and escorted to the platform. Charles J. Greene, as chairman, Intro duced Major McKinley. Mr. Greene said simply: "Fellow citizens, I have the honor of Introducing to you Ohio's dis tinguished statesman and governor, Will lam McKinley." Rev. T. E. Cramblet, pastor of First Christian church, returned from his sum mer vacation. W. H. Green, formerly a well known real estate man, came up from Hous ton, " Tex., where he was manager for the Omaha and South Omaha Land com pany, which had some 17,000 acres of land near Houston. O. M. Carter and C. S. Montgomery of this city were owners in this company. After leaving the high school grounds, where ha spoke, Governor McKinley paid a visit to The Bee office, going through all departments with Edward Rosewater, Ten Years Ago-- The new Board of Flra and, Police Com miuslonera appointed by Governor Savage, consisting of W. J. Broatch, Carl C. Wright, Joseph W.' Thomas and Lee W. Spartlen, went to the city hall In a body and took possession of the office, books and records. Trouble was contemplated, but averted when Clerk Klerstead calmly and without resistance turned over every thing to Broatch, saying he had been served with a writ of mandamus and now proposed to obey the writ. The new hoard then organized and got' down to business. Mrs. W. 8. Heller and sons returned from a visit to Muskegon, Mich. Judge W. W. Keysor was In Blair to adjourn district court for the terra.

It is impossible to evolve anything consistent or coherent from the repub lican chaos now existing In Nebraska. As a result of Tuesday's twin conven tions two political parties are growing where one grew before, each claiming to be the republican party. According to present indications each will have a full set of presidential electors and a full state ticket In the field at the November election. The question as to Which of the two tickets will be accorded the name "republican" on the ballot probably can and will be de cided In the courts. The fact that one of the republican divisions Is committed to Roosevelt would seemto remove ail necessity for another Roosevelt party ticket in Nebraska. Governor Aldrich, leader of the Roose velt faction In Nebraska, must shoul der responsibility for the republican split, and a natural corollary Is that he will have to reap some of the conse quences. Governor Aldrich announced some time ago that he would not loin the Roosevelt third party. Long before the date of the republican state con vention. Governor Aldrlch's plan became apparent. He was not going to Join the Roosevelt party, but he was going to lead the republican party Into line be hind the Roosevelt standard, transform ing the old party into the new In every thing but name. This was the program Governor Aldrich had to offer In the Lincoln convention. It was opposed by a large and aggressive minority of reg ular republicans a minority that might have been a majority had the regular majority of the state cdmmlttee cared to utilize steam roller methods. The Taft regulars exhausted every effort to attain a compromise that Would avoid a snllt. The irreducible minimum of their de mands was that the presidential elec tors on the republican ticket must be men who would support the nominees of the republican national convention. There are now on the republican elec toral ticket eight candidates, of whom five have announced their Intention to support , Roosevelt. It was insisted that these five Roosevelt electors re sign from the republican ticket and run with three other Roosevelt electors on an Independent progressive ticket." Their places on the republican ticket would be filled with five Taft electors. Under this arrangement Taft republicans could vote a straight republican ticket, while re publicans who wished to vote for Roose velt could vote, for the independent Roosevelt electors. Governor Aldrich and his followers refused to approve this com WHY THEY DO Fever of Preparedness Boston Transcript. Dr. Eliot In an Interview at Honolulu discussing disarmament Is reported as saying that disarmament would be Im possible for Japan because of its Insular position which renders It necessary for It to be able to protect Its routes of ocean commerce. A similar explanation which the ex-president of Harvard has. advanced for Japan can be applied to many nations. They have reasons of their own for maintaining powerful ships and armies to protect their interests, either on land or sea. These reasons seem good to them and are not to be derided at any time In advance of the assured advent of the epoch of converting spears Into pruning hooks and swords Into plow shares. The world Is not altruistic as yet, the powers are Jealous of one an other and while giving cordial reception to Invitations to peace conferences and while lamenting the growing cost of armament they are all accumulating good slores of powder and see that It Is kept dry. " T Is true, 't is pity, and pity 't Is 't la true." The great military powers are steadily becoming greater. Germany is planning ah increase of Its army con temporaneously with a large and rapid expansion of its fleet. Great Britain answers with a naval program of star tling magnitude and will before this year POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS. Cleveland Plain Dealer: "Thou shalt not steal," says the new party platform. But, of course, the prohibition shall not be construed as having any referenee to electoral college votes. New York World: Roosevelt's continu ous declaration that no honest. man can support Taft is getting to be as monot onous as his former assertions that most all his acquaintances are liars. Sioux City Journal: As temporary chairman of the Lincoln convention, Gov ernor Aldrich handled the steam roller with an easy grace that must have aroused the admiration of Victor Rose- water. Philadelphia Bulletin: A riot, In which professional prize fighters and wrestlers took part, marked a third party conven tion at Omaha. Perhaps those 30 seats at the Chicago gathering are going to be worth the money, after all. Baltimore American: What a lot of animal lore the campaign Is teaching us! The elephant is a patient, powerful and withal faithful beast; the donkey stub born, Irascible and untrustworthy, and the bull moose a cumbersome creature, capable of great destruction once It plunges from the beaten trail In temper or tei ror. One cannot but admire the in- spliatlon that applied them to the parties they represent. Hartford Courant: New York newspa per reporters on duty at Oyster Bay re port consentaneously that Colonel Roose velt seemed tickled to death by the news that in half a dozen western and far western states his supporters mean to hang on to the republican organization and name, using them in his Interest for all they are worth. If Fllnn can fix up a flimflam game of that sort In Pennsyl vania, Colonel Roosevelt Is ready to proiit by it; tho announcement is that it Isn't for him to "dictate- to his friends what they shall do or retiain from doing. Yet he's the man who has made the welkin ring and the printing presses swtat with his discourses about morality In politics. The Hoodooed Skyscraper, St Louis Republic Does the hoodoo of Dr. Cook rest on the snowy brow of Mount McKinley?

The doctor climbed It as easily as he reached' the pole. . v i Stp Forward, Plet St. Louis Globe-Democrat Will the republican party and the democratic party kindly step forward and be electrocuted by a third term candi date? 4 - UP IN NEBRASKA a Destructive Situation. promise. They persisted not only in re fusing to indorse the national ticket and platform, but in running on the repub lican ticket five electors who intended to vote for the third party candidates. By this persistence republicans who wanted a chance to vote for Taft were forced Into a course that would enable them to do so on a third ticket. Forced to flock by themselves and fight, the natural inclination is to firt all along the line. A new state committee has been organized and the announcement is that a complete state ticket will acom pany the Taft electors. This in all nor mal probability will mean the defeat of both republican tickets and the election of Wilson electors and a complete demo cratic state ticket Which ticket will be entitled to the re publican place on the ballot? The ques tion will have to be decided by the courts. The Nebraska primary law provides that in case of a split the secretary of state. In making up the official ballot, "shall give the preference to the convention held at the time and place designated In the call of the regular constituted party authori ties." This of itself would give the pref erence to the Aldrich faction. But the same law provides that "the action of the (receding national convention of such party, regularly called, shalK determine the action of the secretary of state." This seems to make loyalty to the Chicago convention the supreme test of repub licanism in Nebraska. On that test the republican designation belongs of right to the Rosewater faction. As a matter of morals, apart from law, there is no questlan that the Taft elec tors and the candidates who are sup porting them are entitled to appear as the candidates of the republican party. Al though they do not admit it, Governor Aldrich and all the candidates who are co-operating with him Jiave gone over to the Roosevelt progressive party. By all rules of honest straightforwardness the candidates who are acting for and with the third party should appeal to the voters under the name of that party. - However the official ballot may be made up, the advantage on election day will be strongly 'with the democrats. While the republicans were dividing Into two parties the democrats were fighting out the question of factional control in such a way that the losing faction could acquiesce In the outcome. Nebraska Is not strongly republican enough to defeat a united democracy with a divided re publican armx. NOT DISARM Grips Eastern Nations. Is out have nearly 150,000 men under Its pennant. Where and when the race for "pre paredness" will end no one can foresee. Nations are entering It which a decade ago were content with following a policy of replacement and repair. France is about to build a dreadnought to cost $14, 000.000. which Is a record figure in that line of construction. Even Greece has got together the means for paying for a battleship which Is to be Just below dreadnought dimensions. Spain is pro viding itself with a modern fleet, and the Portuguese project of construction Is halted only until the royalist agitation Is extinguished beyond possibility of revival. Turkey has a dreadnought impounded by the neutrality laws of England. If ever there was a time when the peace advo cates were Justified In their efforts to convert the hearts of nations to the love of peace bow Is that time. They will have to work on the heart, for the heads Of statesmen are already sympathetic with those who would expostulate against the tremendous cost of armaments. Not alone do Individuals need conversion. Na tional prejudices and national passions must be dealt with before an era hopeful to a scheme of reduotlon of armaments rather than absolute disarmament will dawn. meBeesleW 6. OX TT4 A Tender of Advice. BRADSHAW, Neb., Aug. 4-To th Editor of The Bee: If Governor Aldrich has the least hope of being re-elected, the less he gets himself and his views into the public print the better it will be far him, for he seldom speaks or writes that ue does not let his egotistic enthusiasm cause him to make some break In which a gap Is opened, and many disgusted voters walk out Of course the advice of a common, every day man an old fashioned, true blue republican may not be considered by our doty governor, but the advice is given in good faith whether -it be considered ot not. The governor should have been wise enough to have kept away from the stato convention, and had he been as wise as his fellow townsman. W. J Bryan, he would have done so, but in stead he took personal charge of the steam roller, and made It whls up and down and cross lots wherever opportun Ity afforded, which was poor politics, to say the least, for one who most cer talnly stands In need of every vote that can be mustered to give him the least show whatever of being re-elected. JOHN B. DEY. Administration of Real Proarcaa. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 3. To the Editor of The Bee: I hope- every republican In Douglas county will read President Taft's speech of acceptance. It la a powerful appeal to thlnklngmep. Here Is the keynote: I venture to say there Is no nations! admtnistrntion in which more real steps ot progress has been taken than in the present on. Every republican should look up the record of his party and make a memo randum of these progressive steps. They are highly Important and Interesting. For Instance, no administration has prose cuted more trusts with better success, nor has any former president done as much to destroy monopoly In business and Industry, pur campaign literature will soon f'Uly cover thwe points giving proof of such statements.
