Only One Honorable Way.
There is only ore honorable way
for the bull moosere to meet the issue
in Nebraska, and for that matter in
other states, too, where a similar sit
uation presents. In this state the
eight candidates for presidential elec
tor on the republican ticket were
nominated in the primary election
held before the Chicago convention.
Every person entering the lists
agreed, publicly or tacitly, to sup
port the republican national stand
ard bearers, but since the renomina-
tion of President Taft some of these
candidates for elector have left the
party and espoused the cause of the
bull moosers, announcing that if suc
cessful they will not cast their bal
lots in the electoral college for the
republican nominee. ' If they were
actuated by strictly honorable mo
tives they would have withdrawn
from the republican ticket long ago,
as bull moose candidates have been
doing for similar reasons in other
states, and let their places be filled
by real republicans.
The disclosure Is. now made by
Mike" Harrington, formerly popu
list, later democrat, and now bull
mooser, but nonetheless an able law
yer, that the present Nebraska
election law leaves no way for the
new party to go on the ballot except
fcy petition, and he wants an extra
session of the legislature called by
the governor to open the door. Of
course to call an extra session of
the legislature would be juseless un
less enough members were pledged

ture, would consent to; any Buch
program. The discovery and the
suggestion, therefore, must be re
garded as calculated to furnish an
excuse for the bull moose electors
to persist in refusing to get off the
republican ticket, dishonorable as
they admit staying there to be. This
conclusion finds support in the fact
that these electoral candidates,
while professing all along a desire
not to run under false colors, have
taken no steps to vacate the places
they have morally forfeited
1 Firm Against Divorce.
The American Federation of Cath
olic societies has reasserted uncom
promising opposition to recognition
of divorce for any reason, that be
ing the traditional attitude of their
church. So far as Its prohibition of
divorce operates as a restraining in
fluence to keep families together, and
to prevent! either party of the mar
riage seizing upon some flimsy pre
text to Justify its severance, the con
sistency of the Catholics is commend
able, and the results certainly bene
ficial. The depths to which the
divorce, evil strikes In our modern
era society is more clearly seen by
Catholics than by most people, al
though they are not In full agree
ment with many advanced students
of the problem as to preventives and
remedies. The . nececsity of safe
guarding the family as the unit of
society is the starting point. The
door has been altogether too wide
open, and, the question is less as to
shutting the gap as to how large, if
any, crevice shall be left.
professions, in commerce and in
mechanical trades that is all to his
credit. He has shown that he is in
dustrious, thrifty, capable of plan
ning and executing and in every way
be has been found worthy of the citi
zenship with which he was clothed
when he emerged from slavery. Of
course, there are exceptions, but ex
ceptions prove the rule.
Liberia may offer opportunity to
the ambitious negro, but not more
than he will find in America. All
he need do is to respect himself, and
he may be sure of both the respect
and the good will of his white
brother.
Better Attitude Toward Wealth.
Class distinctions are inimical to
the spirit of ' American institutions.
They are never fostered by the most
Intelligent and patriotic citisens. In
law and government it will not do to
draw lines of cleavage upon finan
cial, social or other similar consid
eration. And It is one of the fine
commentatrles upon the evolution of
American life that there Is leBs of
this today than there has been in
times past., a" better attitude to
ward wealth and its possessors exists
now, which recognizes its possiblll
tee of general good. .
No doubt the awakened concern of
wealth In the affairs of the world,
radiating In many lines of benefac
tion, has had a softening effect upon
the public attitude.. But people hajve
come to see clearly that concentra
tion of wealth Is an essential part of
world progress. Only the willful
demagogue will rail against the In
creased wealth. What we must de
mand of wealth is not disintegration
or distribution, but simply a proper
use of It. A country that moves
upon Such gigantic plans and planes
could not get along very fast with
out Immense organizations of wealth
as a propelling power. Even In our
charitable and philanthroplcal enter
prises wo operate on big scales and
the growing size of all our undertak
ings must call "for . constantly in
creasing resources.

, The Negro and America.
."At the meeting of the National
Negro Business league In Chicago
Bishop Scott of Monrovia urged that
young negroes of ambition go to Af
rica, where plenty of business oppor
tunities await them. This may be
good advice, but the bishop does not
make clear why a nejro of good
character should leave the United
States to satisfy his ambition in any
direction.
Exact figures are not at hand
whereby to measure the progress
made by fbo American negro since
the war, but no one will dispute that
It has been wonderful. The negro
has taken a firm place iu our indus
trial and political life. He has made
! for himself a standing in the learned
Speculation and Beef Prices.
To what extent speculation has
figured in the recent high prices
paid for beef on the hoof, and on the
table, for that matter, must of neces
sity be left to conjecture, but some
speculation has prevailed, as is dis-
closed by snipping conditions now
developing. Fancy prices have been
paid for a few bullocks, and on these
figures have been raised a fabric of
expectancy that led to withholding
from the market stock that was
ready. But the general tendency of
the cattle market is not such as to
warrant the assumption at present
that the high prices are to continue
indefinitely. Chicago reports a
break, and with the coming of
"grassers" a change 4n the outlook is
at hand.
It Is not expected that the price
will go down with a rush, for the
actual shortage in supplies will pre
vent this, but with the market ridded
of the speculative element that has
influenced it to some extent, beef
steak may again come within reach
of the common people.
Have It Out in the Open.
While The Bee has no more inter
est in the controversy on the location
of the new water supply main than
has any other taxpayer .concerned In
the welfare of the city, it looks to us
as if the threatened appeal to the
courts to intervene is a frameup on
the part of the water commissioner.
The names of the people said to be
behind this move Identify them as
close enough to get their inspiration
from him, although he is carefully
keeping behind cover. If this is a
question of authority between the
Water board and city council, why
not have it out in the open instead
of through straw men set up for a
purpose? The taxpayers foot the
bill, anyway.
Chivalry and Crime.
Now It is set up that man's inher
ent chivalry. will not permit him to
convict a woman who has been ac
cused of murdering her husband. All
that Is needed for the woman is to
dress well and lookv interesting and
the verdict will be "not guUty." To
get around this condition juries of
women are asked for, the theory be
ing they will not be susceptible to
the charms of one of their sex, and
will be more willing to punish her.
Here's a pretty problem, and one
that will not be settled offhand.
The prosecutor who has just lost a
case may be excluded from the argu
ment on the ground of prejudice, and
the sociologist who sees a. prison full
of negresses and bases his conclu
sions on that fact may be called upon
to offer better proof of his assertion.
Women have been tried on juries in
other cases with indifferent results,
so that the court records will afford
little aid in arriving at a definite
conclusion.
If it were proven that no man ac
cused of murder was ever set free
by a jury of his peers, some basis
might be had for the charge that
man's chivalry leads him to liberate
the accused woman, no matter what
the proof. But here the proponents'
case is weak. Better basis for . the
charge will have to be presented be
fore the matter can be given full con
sideration. It ought to be settled,
though, for if man is so easily
wrought up that he cannot weigh
facts against a pretty face be ought
to be disqualified from service in the
ury box.
Accessible, but Not Available.
In every growing city, the officials
are constantly confronted with the
necessity of raising more money by
tapping new revenue sources to pay
Increasing treasury drafts. There are
lots of places where additional reve
nues can be exploited, but often it is
not the part of wisdom or discretion
to go after them. In witness of this
fact, an example is cited from the
little German town of Stassfurt,
where the ingenuity of a well-intentioned
rdayor conceived the idea of
levying an unescapable tax on every
one having the misfortune of dying
within the municipal limits. He un
dertook to do this by merely ruling
that a funeral was an entertainment
or parade, bo the widow of a late la
mented citizen applying for a funeral
permit came away with the following
document:
FIVE MARKS.
Permit to Arrange a Festival. ,
Herewith permission la granted the
Widow Lledke of thla city to hold a fu
neral parade with music on the 8th Inst.,
the procession to march through the
Wachel-, Roamarln-, Prlnsen-. Brucken-,
Stein-, Fursteln-, and Hackllnger Streets
to the outskirts of the town.
The report does not tell bow long
this financial Innovation was sub
mitted tevbut it is a reasonable pre
sumption that the proposal to re
peat the experiment, say In a city like
Omaha, would at once set in motion
the machinery of the recall without
benefit of clergy. ,"
The Nation's Birthstone.
The foundation of a memorial
tower has been laid on the spot
where the Pilgrim fathers landed
from the Mayflower in December,
1620. Here is one monument
Americans can well afford to erect
and it shall ever stand as the birth
stone of the nation, signalizing not
alone the cradle of the new republic,
but the imoerlshable principle of
civil and religious liberty. For the
most sublime fact associated with
the coming of the Pilgrims was that
they came in quest not of territorial
aggression nor gold, nor power, but
simply to find a place where they
might exercise their conscientious
faith and lifierty without restraint
or persecution.
When we think of this it must
strike us as remarkable that nearly
300 years elapsed before we turned
to erect this memorial. Our tardi
ness may. be ascribed either to our
innate modesty as a . people, or to
the fact that we have been so deeply
engrossed In perfecting the super
structure of the nation there
founded that we have not taken the
timesfor thus hallowing this spot of
earth. But as "storied urn or ani
mated bust" can not "back to its
mansion call the fleeting breath,"
so no monument, however durable
or lofty, can of itself preserve the
precious principles burled beneath
the memorial; they must be pre
served in the hearts of the people,,
in their institutions. If no shaft
were ever erected on the May
flower's moorings, it would really
make no real difference to Ameri
cans, for they will conserve the in
visible, but Indestructible spirit that
guided the ship.

With tails that were long, soft and silky,

With love for their land and their lady
