. New Party-Or Mere Bolt!
Colonel Roosevelt is going around
the country Insisting that he is the
head of a newly organized independ
ent political party, equally antago
nistic to all the old political parties,
and inviting former democrats and
former republicans alike to enlist
with him.
On that theory separate and dis
tinct political organizations have been
formed in most of the states, and
state and local tickets nominated to
go on the ballot in a column devoted
exclusively for "progressives." Every
where that the field is thus occupied
by a third ticket, loud 'profession is
that the purpose is to make unbridge
able the chasm between the old
parties and the new. J
Here In' Nebraska,' however, the
program of the Roosevelt fallowing
seems to be completely reversed. In
stead of a new, distinct and independ
ent party their actions betoken
merely a bolt from the republican
party, and a bolt, at that, confined
only to that part of the ticket occu
pied by the presidential electors.
While going . through the form of
nomination by separate party ma
chinery, the only new names proposed
are those of two electoral candidates
In place of two nominated as repub
licans who recognize their moral and
legal obligation to support the re
publican presidential standard-bearers.
In spite of the Invitation to dem
ocrats and populists to come over to
Roosevelt, nowhere In this state, so
far as we have heard, have the' "pro
gressives" endorsed or nominated a
single democrat or populist candidate
for office on their so-called third
party ticket, which, however, carries
a goodly number of Taft republicans.
To the Roosevelt managers in Ne
braskawhatever may be the case In
other states a Taft republican looks
better, than a Wilson democrat, pre
sumably because he looks like more
votes, and better, too, tban ahy "pro
gressive' who has really cut the ties
that have bound him to either of the
old par 116 ' ;'. .
If this Is the program to be carried
out by "progressives" In Nebraska, It
Is to be a bolt, and not a new party,

Marpfcy, Dix ana Wilion;
It must make "Boss" Murphy very
happy to have i Governor: Wilson's
public statement that he has not
pledged his support to the re-election
of Governor Dix in, yew York. - Wll
son 'made the statement under the
pressure of political gossip,' probably
not beoause he preferred to; for he
csnriot be Indifferent' to,the hazard
of antagonizing Tammany.
, Murphy Is said to demand the re
election of Dix . n the Interest ot
Tammany s power In New York City,
which baa been placed In the balance
by the upheaval In the police de
partment. Governor - Wilson's, post
Won' in this .connection is none-, too
comfortable. While he and the gen
eral tlcketprobably have been re
ceiving Tammany aid,, they will not
receive it long , without sdmethlng,'
present or Suture,, in return, Tam
many has found It possible before
this to concentrate Its'' efforts' pn a
state campaign while a national con
test was in progress. It remains to
be seen whether Wilson will let him
self be drawn in deeper. But one
thing seems quite certain, he cannot
satisfy Murphy with the excuse that
he is not mixing in state" politics.
lew Quartermaster Corps.
The Judge advocate . general of the
army has rendered an opinion In which
he holds that the administration ot the
affaire of the offices and departments
consolidated by the law may not e as
sumed by the new bureau and corps until
sixty days after the approval of the act,
in view of the statement In the law that
It shall be the duty of the chief of the
new corps "to put Into effect the provi
sions of this section not less than sixty
days after the passage of this act" In
other words the commissary general and
the paymaster general will continue to
separately supervise their respective , de
partment and the chief of the quarter
master corps the quartermaster's depart
ment for sixty days from August 24 and
the actual consolidation may not be ef
fected until October 24. However, during
this period arrangements will be made
for making the consolidation, and mem
bers of the three departments consoli
dated will be directed to co-operate with
the chief of the quartermaster's corps In
making necessary preparations, and or
ders will be prepared and Issued prescrib
ing the course of administration.
Retired Enlisted Me.
A bill recently passed the senate (9.
2805) providing that petty officers, non
commissioned officers and enlisted men
of the navy and marine corps on the re
tired lift, who had creditable civil war
service, shall receive the rank or rating
and the pay of the. next higher enlisted
grade. The secretary of war called the
attention of congress to the. fact that
mere were about 590 enlisted men of the
army on the retired list who had served
creditably during the olvil war prior to
April 9, 1866. He stated that the War de
partment would be glad to furnish any
additional Information required or to pre
sent Its views when called upon In refer
ence to the matter and suggested the In
clusion of retired enlisted men of the
army In the provisions of the bill. ; If
such an amendment is not adopted, In
case the bill Is favorably considered in
th house, the matter will be promptly
taken care of In special bill. The sec
retary ef. war ha Indicated his Interest
In the matter and wlU see that the en
listed men of the army are taken care of
If such general legislation Is favorably
considered In th house. The enlisted
men of the army are being circularised
by parties desiring to obtain, employment
by them to put thlst legislation through.
If anything oaa be dune in regard to this
proposed legislation, It will be done by
the secretary of war without reference to
outside influences.

Apologists for college hazing have
another Job on their hands growing
out of the fatality at the University
of North' Carolina a few days ago
when1 four sophomores caused the
death, of. a freshman. At .the in
stance of the governor of the state,
the'haiefa have been arrested, but
despite, the pathos ot their situation.
it is to be hoped they nor no one else
win offer, palliation for the barbaric
custom, which has cast a pall over
so many colleges. The best that can
come out or, this unfortunate affair
la such an object lesson as' will really
discourage the business of haxing.
If it seems necessary for upper
classmen to initiate newcomers, let it
be done with' enough common sense
as to avoid cruelty and physical
danger. The hazing practice is little
more than "nonsense at best and if
tolerated at all should be under the
severest restrictions. These four
young men, no doubt, would be witl
ing to dispense with the custom, for
the, death of . their comrade casta 'a
blight upon "their lives which no
a,mount of innocent intentions or de
ploring grief can remove, v ' !
The Nebraska State Federation of
Labor wants convicts to be paid
wages,-presumably anion scale, aad
the excess over cost of keeping them
and managing the Institution turned
over to their families. It also wants
all prison-made goods so labeled,
presumably to prevent them from
.finding a. sale, on the market: How
these two propositions can be made
to hitch will require demonstration.

An interior democratic weekly re

I column.- Why this cruel allusion. "
W have several times discussed th
anomalous attitude of ths men who, hav
ing been nominated as republicans for
presidential elector before th republican
convention, now claim ths right to keep
their nominations and nevertheless sup
port another party's candidate. Wt have
also noted that Hev. Xmsn Abbott's Out
look heartily endorse th morality ft
their claim. , When it was first advanced.
W a jonte: recalled, thecsi'..'ft' .'jinies'
Russell Lowell, a republican elector from
Massachusetts In 1876, who was urged to
vote, and, Indeed, was thought to wish
that he had th right to vpt. for Tllden
Instead of Hayes. , W did not, however,
have Lowell's ; words, at hand, nut ths
Hartford Coiir4ti has looked them up.
Said Lowell: - f ,;" ,
"I was nominated land elected by my
fellow cltlien of the republican party to
give effect to their political wishes ex
pressed at the polls, and not to express
my own personal view. I am a delegate
carrying a definite menage, a trustee to
carry out definite Instructions; I am sot
a free agent to act upon my own volition;
In accepting a place on the republican
ticket I accepted all It limitations and
Wioral obligation. . . My Individual
sympathies and preferences are beside ths
matter; . to refuse to fcomply with the
mandate I, received when I accepted my
party's nomination would be treaeherous,
dishonorable and immoral."
That Is what Lowell, a publicist as well
as a, poet, and a hater of all double
dealing, thought of th course . which
Rev. Dr. Abbott defends.' Vt. Abbott de
fends it by a curious inference from the
legal .point, that elector are chosen by
tatea, and,, not by the , country, at large.
WS do hot believe th argument Is valid
even as to the legality of what Is being
attempted, for we. do not beUeve ro
ghsslve hM a" Iegt':right.jto" ifeicJledsa
republican on an official ballot; but what
It he had tueh a legal right? Would that
abaolva him from the moral obligation lie
assumed when h accepted a republican
nomination? A lawyer might a, wall ar
gue that he ha a right ' to ; desert his
client and go over to the othief side while
till hanging on to hi original retainer,
j-wn men, uninsiructea in the new
bull moose ethics, will agree with Lowell.
Whatever quibbling may be advanced in
behalf pf.men who would retain or ac
vepi me nomination or one party In or.
der to vote for another party's candidate,
what they are trying to do Is "treacher
ous, dishonorable and immoral." To such
follower of the bull .moos as have not
yet fully committed themeelves' to the
new cod of ethics we again quot Low
U version of 'th older code: i..
In vain we call old notions fudge,
And suit our moral to our dealing; "i
Th Ten Commandment will not budge.
And stealing will continue stealing.,

A5 OLD PLAYED-OUT SONG.
James Whiteeomb Riley.
It' th curiousest thing in creation.
Whenever I hear that old son
"Do They Miss Me at Home?'r I'm s
bothered,
My life seems as short as It's long
Fer ever-thing 'pears fke adzackly
It 'peared in the years paBt and gone
When I started out sparkln' at 20,
And had my first neckercher on.
Though I'm wrinkelder, older and gayer
Right now than my parents was then.
You strike up that song, "Do They Miss
Me?"
And I'm Jest a youngster again.
I'm a-standln' back there in the 40
A-wlnhln' fer evening to come,
And s-whisperln' over and over
Them words, "Do They Miss Me at
Home?"
' . " (
You see, Marthy Ellen she sung It
The first time I heerd it; and so,
As she was mv very best sweetheart
It reminds me of her. don't you know
How her face used to look, in the twilight,
As I tuck her to spellin': and she
Kep a hummin' that song 'tel I ast her,
pint-blank, if she ever missed me!
I can shet my eyes now, as you sing it,
And hear her low answerln' words,
And then the glad chirp of the crickets
As clear as the twitter of birds; , .
And the dust in the road Is like velvet,
And the ragweed and fennel and grass
Is as sweet as the scent of the lilies
Of Eden of old, as we pass,
"Do They Miss Me at Homer Sing it
lower
And softer and sweet . as the breeze
That powdered our path with the snowy
White bloom of the old locus' trees!
Let the whippoorwCIls he'p you to slog It,
And the echoes 'way over the hill,
'Tel the moon boolges out, in a chorus
Of stars, and our voice is still.
But, oh! "They's a chord In the music
That's mlesed when her voice is away!"
Though I listen from midnight 'tel morn
ing, And dawn, 'tel the dusk of the day;
And I grope through the dark, lookin'
up'ards
And on through the heavenly dome,,
With my longin' soul s,!ngin' and sobbin'
The words, "Do They Miss Me at
" Home?' -
