Wantei Under this heading the Omaha Commercial club calls for volunteers to represent the organization at the different meetings, congresses and conventions to which it is invited to send delegates. Not a week passes but what the club is urged to commission some one to speak for it in some assem blage called together to discuss and promote this or , that project in which the business men of all the important cities of the country are supposed to be vitally interested. Many of these conventions, in fact, do deal wjth subjects which are of real concern to all of us, and ought to enlist our active participation. But it is asking a whole lot of a busy business man to lay off for a week or more, to the neglect of his own affairs, and pay his own rail road fare and traveling expenses, to go as a delegate to some convention in which he has no more personal interest than the rest of us. The result is that the volunteers too often either have an axe of their own to grind or are not truly representa tive of the business community. We must say the Commercial club has been generally fortunate Jn the matter of delegates commissioned to represent it abroad, but as the de mand for delegates increases, the difficulty of meeting this demand must likewise increase. We have not reached the point of having profes sional delegate, and it Is extremely doubtful whether a professional delegate would fill the bill, but some more satisfactory solution of the problem is certainly desirable., Uncle Sain is so busy getting t ready to open the canal that he cannot bear Johnny Bull's bellowing x complaint. ; The Twinning; Ranks. That Is a very sensible recommend ation ' in Surgeon General Hanra ban's report to the Grand Army at the Los Angeles encampment for the shortening of annual parades, The rasks of the nation's venerable heroes are thinning fast enough without unnecessary depletion. It is a grand spectacle to see soldiers marching through city streets, ' but somehow the grandeur is lost in the melancholy picture of bent and en feebled men parading toi miles upon euch occasions, exhausting strength tbey need to conserve. Yet at this very Los Angeles gathering a ten mile semi-marathon is run by a few veterans. Doubtless the ' surgeon general would have condemned that, too, had he known of it before com piling his report. Not so very many more cf these splendid conclaves will be held. Every succeeding roll call discloses new hosts of fallen heroes. . We should do all that can be done to preserve the lines just as long as possible. No need to test again the endurance 'of these old gray war riors; they hare proved their prow ess, have won their laurels, and can never be deprived of their meed of praise. " 1 - v It Is a good thing to remember that the world has no time to fling life preservers to a man who won't try to swim. The Seattle man who bought a $10,000 gold brick and refused to "holler" must have been overlooked by our Colonel Mabray. 1 Secretary Fisher says he cannot find, a man among the aspirants for governor in Hawaii who is not con trolled by the sugar interests.

T. of Just a Trifle Hasty. Upon the news of William Haines' election as governor Maine Colonel Roosevelt exultantly exclaimed that he had "come out for the progressive national ticket." Since the governor-elect has had time to speak for himself on. the subject, we get a . different state ment. " 1 '- ,'"r;: ' "I have never yet Indicated," says Mr. Haines, "whether I shall support Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft in the earning contest. I have had the sup port of, both factions in my contest tor the governorship and I feel under great obligations to what S, call both wings of the republican party. I shall not be able to take any part In the November contest on account of my health. I shall not attempt to exert any Influence on one faction or the other, They will have to fight it out without me." Colonel Roosevelt may be keen enough to read out of that statement a promise of support, but It is doubt ful how anyone else can. 71 i 1 . rfl 1 looRdBaclwak, Ms Day taOmalia COMPILED rWOM BEE FILc-B SEPT. 14.

If appearances determined, Gov ernor Wilson might be said to have spurned the aid of Boss Murphy In the present campaign, but surface indications are not always accurate indices to conditions within. Sri when the democratic nominee for presi dent "steers a cautious course" ' In meeting and shaking hands, but holding no conference with the Tarn many chieftain at the New York state fair, the public is left to de cide for itself whether there is more behind the scenes that is not ex hibited outside. Mr. Bryan, it will be remembered, took no such pains to apply the axiom that "evil communications corrupt good spanners" to the help ful Mr. Murphy when he was where Mr. Wilson Is now. In 1908 the Nebraskan extended a glad hand to greet Murphy on his return from the Denver convention. , Yet, of course, the' results of Mr. Bryan's severe campaigns may hardly be en forced as precedents UP00 suc ceeding democratic presidential as pirants against their will and judg ment. Governor "Wilson may be able to show that his plan of deal ing with Mr. Murphy is better than the more candid one pursued by Mr. Bryan. 1 . In the meantime It is Interesting to note how patiently "Boss'- Mur phy endures all these "slights." v People Talked About Mary Elisabeth Evans Is the real name of the girl, who, beginning In Syracuse, N.

The democracy of Great Britain Is deliberately undermining its power In Parliament through factional greed. The laborite division of the liberal party, in pursuance of the declared policy of con testing Parliamentary seats where the party hold the balance of power, has caused the loss of five of the nine seats lost to the liberals In the bye elections since the last general election. The lat est Instance of the political folly of democracy occurred this week when the Midlothian division elected the unionist candidate by a plurality of 32 votes. The liberal polled 6.9S9 Tote, the laborites 2.413 votes. United a formerly they would have swept with a normal major ity the division so long represented by England's grand old man, William E. Gladstone. Meanwhile, democracy' en emy chuckles, cheer on the factlonlsts, and presses onward .to the evtntual rout of a divided household. In this con nection It is worth noting that the Mid-1 lothlan contert was occasioned by the retirement of the master of Ellbank, a title borne by a man named Murray, the eldest son of Viscount Ellbank. He held the most Important political office of the ministerial party, that Of liberal party "whip." The office corresponds In some measure with that of chairman of a na tional committee In the United . State, but carrie vastly greater Influence In directing party affairs and In the dis tribution of political favor. The re tiring Master of Ellbank distinguished himself as a gumshoe warrior, smooth, noiseless and secretive, qualtles that en deared him as an Ideal party manager. The test of his ability Is to be seen In successive liberal victories In the general elections of the last ten years. At all time the party treasury waa loaded for the fray, and the subsequent distribution of titles and honors and ' emoluments, generally endorsed by the party whip, at tested his tactful reach for the sinew of campaigns. ' The office Is a stepping stone to the peerage, carries a salary of 110,000 a year, and a gorgeous, uniform. Lacky Strike for Portagal. A few days after the republic of Portu gal was born, while the doctors - and nurses were chasing out of the country or putting in prison all doubter of the legitimacy of the offspring, of all the foreign correspondents on the ground none was as blistering In criticising the new order, the official outlawry and the press censorship a Francis McOullagh, correspondent of the New ' York Post. Mr. McCullagh returned Portugal re cently to Inquire Into the , futile mon archist uprising In the north and note the after effect, both of which are de scribed In letters to the London Contem porary Review and the New York Sun. The monarchist ' commander, Captain Coucelro, Mr. McCullagh explains, had every reason to believe that the north was ready for the rising, and emissaries of the cause, mostly disaffected priests, led hlm to expect a force of 60,000 men would rally to the monarchist standard OMAHA ODDS AND E3TDS. a soon a the blow (wa, struck. But while the monarchist were planning and scheming the republicans were working day and nlght' to receive them. Sweeping changes were made in the commands of republican troops. Every suspected of ficer was sent to the rear. Commanders or undoubted loyalty were placed in charge of troops at the front The Car bonarios, a secret organisation of fanat ical republicans, were up and doing every minute. coutlng through the north, pro tecting lines of communication with the capital and spotting suspects. Scores of the latter were either deported, shot down or thrown into prison. Thus the government was fully prepared for the invader, and had effectively checkmated local assistance. "Under the conditions ultimate defeat waa certain. In fact, it failed miserably in the ' first encounter with the republican. Captain Coucelro and hla thousand royalists, well equipped with artillery, were defeated and routed by half that number of republican troops with much poorer equipment. The over whelming defeat of the monarchists fills the people with enthusiasm and the gov ernment with greater - confidence. "Everywhere in Portugal," says Mr. Mc Cullagh, "I have heard children whistling the very catchy republican hymn, and I have been told of, one case in which the village children betrayed to the authori ties a local priest whom they found ar ranging for the Importation of contra band arms across the Minho. Conse quently. If the republic holds on for a few years more, the republican tradition will take root as it has taken root in France. So far as the Portuguese . re-g public is concerned. Coucelro raw is one of the luckiest thing that ever hap pened. Personally, I regret It, but it Is o." . ' ' ' : Italy and Trkey Near Peace. The fact that negotiations for peace between Italy and Turkey have been pro ceeding in neutral Switieriand for two week Justified expectations of the war ring powers finding a satisfactory basU of settlement. Unofficial reports indicate that a tentative agreement has been reached by the delegates, subject to re vision 'and approval by the respective powers. The Corriere d'ltaiia of" Rome an nounces with some evidence of authority that the basl for a treaty of reace con cedes Italian occupation of Tripoli and Cyrenalca and the withdrawal of Ottoman troops, W.thout fformal recognition of Italian overe!gnty. Italy will recognls the caliph' religious Jurisdiction In the Libyan province and all the privileges pertaining thereto. Furthermore, Italy will grant Turkey an unredeemable loan of $120,000,000, To Insure payment of Interest on the loan Italy will hold twelve Island n the Aegean ea, which have already been captured and occupied. These terms ubtantlally are what the Italian govern ment at the outset expresed a wllllngnesfc to grant. An "unredeemable loan" corre sponds with the pioney compensation Italy offered Turkey, while the absence of formal recognition of Italian sover eignty saves the face of Turkish rulers at home. . St. Paul Republican: An Omaha police man was discharged for dancing the "bear cat" Omaha people must be be coming very fastidious If they' do noil want their pol'cemen to participate li. a few innocent diversions. Bloomington Advocate: The Omaha Bee is right in its protest because spe clal days are set apart at tha state ana county fair as political days. The Bet says there would be just as much senst in retting apart a day for Methodists and a day for Catholics. These fairs art supported by the entire people and it Is t disgrace to drag politics into them. Fremont Tribune: Omaha's suddej. cordial attitude toward the state fair ano state generally is probably' a result of a pretty well rooted conviction that th state Is a good deal more important tc Omaha's welfare than Omaha Is to tlu prosperity of the smaller towns and tlu country.

A great many people have been led to .believe that the city government of Omaha gains all its Inspiration and Influence from, the parts 'of the town which nice people do not frequent, and that the gov ernment represents only what is bad. The people throughout the state should learn to look upon Omaha as a great commercial city where vice Is only Inci dental, and not the paramount issue. Kearney Hub: So Omaha sent three thousand people to the state fair In one day. Let me see, that's one out of every six hundred of Its population It the last census Is to be relied upon.

BRADSHAW, Neb., Sept. lJ.-To the Editor of The Bee: Permit me to call the attention of The Bee reader to the careful omission Colonel Roosevelt U making In never referring to hla former record a president while on hi present speech-making tour. This fact s causing some wonderment among many voters 3 well a comments not altogether com pllmentary to the ex-president Governor Aldrloh la showing a better political Spirit than that, and has challenged his oppo nent to a discussion, each to predicate their claims upon the records they have made and not simply upon promises of what they expect to do. We are rather Inclined to . commend ; the governor' course, for it is written "every tree shall be known by Its fruit" Ex-President Roosevelt most certainly has a record. Will he discus it? From all indications he will not unless he wakes up to the fact that his effort to dodge his record of seven or more years in the presiden tial chair Is being taken note of. Some have apparently forgotten and some have never known Just the kind of fruit the Roosevelt presidential tree did actually produce. Roosevelt proclaims with no Uttle gusto, "I stand for" this or that policy. Now how are the voters to know what he will stand for and make an effort to accomplish It elected, except as they Judge him by his past record? Four years ago he professed to stand for Taft with grim determination, and less than two years ago when he returned from his great African hunt and slaugh ter of big game he - expressed himself pleased with Taft and his administration. Where do we find him now? Again he gave the Taft reciprocity treaty with Canada his most hearty en dorsement . What is he doing now? Judging by these fruits, what is the voter to expect when the colonel says, "I stand for?" .
