The fact that in Pennsylvania even "Boss" Flinn sees the necessity of withdrawing Roosevelt candidates for elector from the republican ticket shows how indefensible and untenable is the position of those who would seize the republican label to use it against the republican standard bearers. For a candidate i for presidential elector to seek to j run as a republican when he openly avows his Intention, if elected, to cast his ballot against the republican nominees for president and vice prea-l ldent, is so essentially dishonest that it cannot be made to square with a pretense at square dealing. What ever rights the third party may have, it certainly has no right to mas querade its presidential electors in the guise of republicans. lib oW-BaclaWard This Dy in 0mali2 COMPILED fUCM BKR FIUP- I f n-ni-CT go. 1 An Experiment; Watch It. Omaha's school system 1b about to embark on an experiment in educa tional endeavor that will bear watch ing. It is the "commercial" high school, undertaken in the desire to give something of vocational train ing in the public schools of the city. The scope of the new school is lim ited at present to training for the work of clerks and accountants. It may be questioned if this is broad enough to meet the true conception of a vocational school. Perhaps the work may be extended to meet this objection. .,- A more serious objection lodged against it is that the curriculum is not calculated to provide that view of the field of knowledge that lies beyond the elementary training of the grade schools. Things essential to a well developed mind ought to be given little part, in the work of the "commercial" high school. Here only the concrete facts of "business" training are to ' be 'provided. Ac countants, , stenographers, copyists and. similarly accomplished pupils will be turned out but the obvious danger is they, will be left lacking In knowledge of things other than those pertaining - to mere, business, some grasp on which is vitally, essential to success in citizenship. - : It should not be expected that the boys and girls leaving high school shall vbe equipped to the point of being able to earn the same wages and compete in business with men and women who have had years of experience; but their minds should bo opened up to where they will have at least a comprehending con ception of iwhat life holds for the well balanced and properly trained member of society.

Bull is still complaining about the canal tolls. Maybe if our boys had not carried on so at Stock holm, the old gentleman would be willing to let us manage our own canal In our own way.

'The' ; water -J company six years, ago offered to build the main without delay if the Water board would give assurance of reimbursement of cost when the plant should be purchased by the city. This offer was renewed periodic ally, and last winter the water com pany ofered either to build the main or let the city build it without wait ing for the transfer of the property, but got no response. The chief reason for compromising questions still at Isbus with the water company was to expedite construc tion of this main, and the only ex cuse offered tot the secret water bond deal was the need of relieving the city of the danger lying in a sin gle supply main. Sixty days have passed since the Water board took possession of the water plants and bids for building this main have Just been opened. Puxzle: , If It took nine years to bring about "Immediate" purchase of the water works, how long will it be before water is turned into the new supply main?

The presence of Ed Mclntyre of Seward, i . ti, state Board of Agri- culture, in Omaha is reminder of the near approach of the state fair. Twenty Years Ago Friends of J. Sterling Morton In Omaha, were rejoicing over his nomination for governor at Lincoln on the democratic ticket. The Indications that Leavenworth street between Sixteenth and Park avenue would soon become passable brightened when Hugh Murphy, holding the contract W pava It, began tearing out the old cypress blocks. ; Both City Physician Somers and his as sistant, Dr. Towne, pointed to the Au gust statistics to show that Omaha was one of the famous health resorts of the country. The total number of deaths for the month was 120. . Dan A. MorlaTty. assistant chief of the Los Angeles fire department and a former Omaha boy, stopped in the city a tne guest of Fire Chief Galllgan, enroute to his home from a trip east.

The - American Bar , association does not take kindly to the recall by popular vote of judges or of judicial, decisions. The association is made up of the most eminent and distinguished . practicing lawyers throughout the whole country, and may fairly be taken to voice tha sen tlment of the great body of the legal profession. It is true that judges are Invariably recruited from among the lawyers, which will ' probably elicit the retort, that the bar is pre judiced by self-interest. But , in every piece of litigation the lawyers on one side must lose, and none more than the lawyers appreciate the need of safeguarding and , strengthening the Independence of the Judiciary, and the danger of destroying the courts by making the judges play solely for popular favor. s NEWSPAPER IDEAL AND VEEITY Experience and Conclusions of General Taylor with the Boston Globe Covering More Than Forty Years. The whirlwind acrobatics of our bull moose leaders. in Nebraska are too rapid for most people to follow. The same bosses and bosslets, who'a month ago were operating the steam roller in a so-called republican state conventionare now organising them selves into a bull moose state con vention, while those of them who are running for office pretend still to be republicans entitled to run on the republican ticket ' 'I The first move of the Water board to confer the benefits of public own ership on consumers was to reduce service already paid "for by the . 8 o'clock closing order; and the .sec ond .'move in the interest of consum ers is to rai?e rates - to packing houses and stock yards. In the fifty-one years that I have been connected with the Boston newspapers, we have always had substantially tha same problems that are now under dis cussion. There were many persons yearn ing for the lueal newspaper fifty-one years ago, and they have continued to yearn for It to this day; but the Ideal news paper has never 'been published. More over, it never will be, because there are no Ideal clergymen, nor Ideal lawyers, nor ideal doctors, nor ideal business men, nor ideal bankers, since all men In all walks of life seem U have about the average of human virtues and faults. U hat Is true in those calling's U true In Journalism. As in all other things from the beginning of time until now "the survival of the fittest" has been tne rule in the newspaper world. In building a newspaper, or any kind of Institution In the active competitions of life, the man who Is filled with the splr.t of in dustry and ambition forges steadily ahead, while those who sit down In Idle despair may envy, but they cannot re tard, his progress. iXeiTjMiper Independence. One of the bugbears of the critics of successful Journalism at this time is the suspicion that the newspapers are con trolled and prevented from doing a great work for humanity by the advertiser and the big Interests. It is the successful newspaper which has earned the right to be Independent and which usually has the strongest in centive to be honest and the least temp tation to be dishonest. In the thirty-nine years that I have been In control of the Globe most of the principal advertisers of Bonton today have been building up their establishments and have made their great aucoess. I am proud to say that nearly every one of them Is a personal friend of mine. I here and now acquit them of any attempt to control me or the Globe. Hotv News la Snppreased. I can assure those of our friends who are filled With the fear that advertisers and the Interests will control the move ments, opinions and news of the prosper ous and Independent press, that they need not lose any more sleep over the Globs Advertisers and readers alike know that they will be treated wlth-absolute. fair ness by the Globe, because that Is the bed-rock basis on which this newspaper has been conducted for thirty-nine years and It is the rule which will guide It In the years to come. The editor's temptation to suppress news really comes from his friends. Troubles visit all of us, and when one has a friend In charge of a newspaper, he Is very likely to ask him to keep his troubles out of the paper. If one wishes to minimise as far as possible the sor rows of life, he cannot but be generous In this matter. If I have erred In that direction I do not think it will be one of the subjects that will bother me when I come to the end of my days. Advisers and Fault Flndera. I have always welcomed criticism from any reader, even If scribbled with a pencil on a poBt .card, as well as from those who have achieved success and prominence In soma , one of the various avenues of .endevor.. During my years of Intimate acquaintance, with, Mr, Pullt. , , ' , .i-i .; ,t, , .... i,.w. ser and Mr. Chllds I appreciated and benefited by their criticisms and sugges tions. Today I am glad to profit by the experience and views of James Gordon RennetL who succeeded his father in the conduct of the New Tork Herald In 172 una haa maintained Its prestige as one of the great newspapers of the world; Victor F. Lawson of the Chicago News, M. E. Stone, general manager of the As sociated Press, William Randolph Hearst of several cities. Colonel Nelson of th Kansas City Star, Samuel Bowles of th Springfield Republican, Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution and many other men of distinction among my contempo raries. The commanding positons they have achieved make their opinions pe culiarly valuable. Perhaps my mind Is not as receptive as it should be toward a certain type of faultfinders In the newspaper business, but I am sure I shall be glad to listen to them when they have either created a newspaper or shown their capacity to conduct one successfully. I fear, how ever, that their only hope lies in a reali sation of their fond dream of an endowed newspaper and a liberal appropriation. X Larue Family. I admit, that an endowment would hav. been an Inestimable boon to me In the first six yearsof my connection with the Globe, when my great and constant difficulty was to meet the weekly pay roll, for some sixty men and their fam ilies were depending on me to provide the means of DavinB their grocers and butchers' bills. I could stand off credi tor in general with a cheerful nonchal ance after a little practice of that art; but these people .depended on me ror ineir living and I am glad to say that I never failed them. After prosperity came (following a loss of $60,000 a year, for five years), that nightmare of the payroll passed away and gave me more time to develop the general business of the paper. I am proud now of th fact that we have 1,000 men work ing for tha Globe and supporting their families in comfort. They are as united and happy a family as can be found in any business In the country. Once a Globe man, always a Globe man, Is the rule. Men who have left the Globe and gone to other dt'es and other newspapers In the thirty-nine years always retain their loyal feelings toward this newspaper. Wherever they may be. If any one of them can do the Globe a good turn, he Is glad to serve. Often when a man leaves an employer he takes delight the rest of his life In trying to injure him. Every old Globe man, on the contrary, feels a stanch attachment for the paper and cherishes pleasant memories of his active connec tion with it LINES TO A LAUGH. Reciprocal Good Will. I take this opportunity to thank the people for th generous, unwavering sup port they have given to the Globe, and I am also glad to express my Appreciation of the patronage of advertisers whf utilise It so liberally. The Globe brought them an audience jpf intelligent, discrim inating purchasers, and while their ad vertising In . the Globe has powerfully aided them In establishing th success ful and profitable position which they now hold, I am none the less grateful for their business and I hope thels pros perity may long continue. . . , THE BATTLE OF DRESDEN By ev.

They obeyed nd cme down with $200,000 "without th formullty of writing a signature on dther side." It waa dead easy. : The battle of Dresden, between Na poleon and the allies, opened Just ninety nine year ago August 2, 181J. On the ISth of th previous December Napoleon had arrived in Paris from the disastrous Russian .campaign to find everything in a state of chaos, but In a few months the mighty mind of the em peror brought order out of the chaos and stood ready to pick up the glove that had already been thrown down by the allied sovereigns. - The magic of his name, aided by the prowess of his unconquerable will, had by the middle of the summer of 1811 brought together a force of 850,000 man. and with about half of this fofe Na poleon placed himself at Dresden between the armies of th opposition. Converging upon him were three armies that of Bohemia under Schwartsenberg, that of Sllesa under Blucher and that of the north commanded by th prince royal of Sweden, the traitor Bernadotte, ' the whole aggregating 800,000 men. f ' , The army of Bchwartxenberg, reinforced by some 80,000 from Blucher, attacked Napoleon on the 26th, and throughout that day and the day following the battle raged with unbroken fury. The 350,000 men fought Ilk demons, but at last the genius of Napoleon prevailed and th Allies were driven back upon Bohemia In hopeless rout. It was on of the emperor's most bril liant victories, reminding us of Auster- Ilts and Marengo, but its fruits were lost in what followed. In the words of one who knew Napo leon well, "Th emperor is victorious whenever he can be on the spot, but he cannot be everywhere, and the geneiuls who command In his absence seldom answer to his expectations." In consequence, Vandamme lost at Kulm all that Napoleon had won at Dresden, and around the man of des tiny the coll began forwlth to tighten. Men like Ney and Macdonald, who had, as it were, the "habit of victory," were beaten at Katzbach, and Dennewtts, and the campaign ended with the disastrous "Battle of Nations" at Lelpslc, which left Napoleon-face to face with th sit uation from which not even his super human energy and genius were able to extricate him. But the glory of Dresden, like the splen dor of the sunset lasted to the very end Of the drama. History has nothing to show in the way of miltary greatness soul courage and unconquerable will power like the career of Napoleon from Lelpslc to the first abdication. It Is wonderful how the little Corsican was able to do what he did during that time. With the prescience of a god, he seemed to be able to anticipate all the plans of his enemies, and with the force . of a demigod he smote them right and left. In th whole story of war wher will you find anything to equal Champaubert, Montmlrall, Chateau-Thierry and . Vau champs four victories in four days, won against overwhelming numbers? From Dresden Heights flashes . the splendor of the great battle winners las: characteristic triumph, and doubtless the memory of that victory mingled itself with the gloom of h s last Cays on that lonely rock In the sea.
