The Double Label Trick.
Ascribing democratic defeat wher
ever it occurred In tho lato Nebraakn
olectlon to fusion of opponents, our
old friend, Edgar Howard, takes con
solation in this thought;
Tho democrats and tho pops used to
play that rame gamt In Nebraska and
It must be admitted that the strongest
tie which bound democrats and pops to
gether was tho hopes they entertained of
securing the offices.
On tho theory that honest confes
sion Is good for the soul, this is in
teresting particularly as confirming
the attitude of The Dec toward demo
pop fusion all theso years. A com
bination of political forces to correct
some abuso or accomplish sonic par
ticular reform to which both aro
committed Is qulto understandable
and defensive, but It can bo only
temporary. Whoro fusion Is nursed
along year aftor year Just to divide
tho spoils of offlco, It can havo no
good excuse
So far os wo aro ablo to ascertain,
In no state In" tho union has tho
fusion fraud been so brazenly prac
ticed and carried to such extremes
as It has been hero in Nobraska. In
no other state do offico seokors havo
the hardihood to take oath that they
affiliate at one and tho same time
with two or more opposing political
parties proclaiming Irrcconcllablo
principles. In all othor states, per
petration of this bunco gamo has
been mado by law Impossible and tho
double-Iabol tickets legislated off the
official ballot. With realization that
U Is a gamo more than one can play
at, Nobraska may eventually unload
the Incubus, too.
The Tatus Club Speech.
President Taft's Lotus club speech
is nn utterance wise, philosophical
and of rnro good humor, as mus bo
generally acknowledged. Tho presi
dent facetiously called It his "swan
song," and as such it was sweot and
melodious aa compared with strident,
ill-tomporcd and ill-timed post
adjurations heard from others. His
old-fashioned exalted ideas of tho
presidency and tho constitution como
as needed inspiration at this time.
Two of tho president's record
mondatlons In this speech aro of no
table Interest, that ot a slnglo six-
year presidential term and that ot
oxecuttvo representation through tho
cabinet on tho floors of tho Iioubo
and senato as a moans of greator ef
ficiency in both f departments and a
deterrent to misrepresentation and
baleful Influence upon tho country.
No doubt the country Is In a mood
to glvo serious consideration to both
propositions. Somo definite oxprcs
slon has already been had in favor
of a longer term for the prostdont
with Ineligibility for ro-oloctlon.
Undor tho present system thoro la
much tomptatlon In tho first term to
plan 'for a second. Yet there 'Is no
assuranco that this condition would
bo fully ovorcomo oven by adoptlug
tho chango proposed.
Cleaning Up the Cities.
The general rlso in moral tone ap
parent over tho country has insplrod
vigorous ontl-vtco crusades In nianj
cities and somo very marked tradl
lions are bolng swept away. Mu
nicipalities aro bolng arbjisod to their
own moral and clvlo wolfaro, so with
attention thus conteredi upon needed
improvement, It ought to bo possible
to achieve It In larger measure.
Dut at tho outset It should be
rocognlzed that construction must
follow destruction and tho disap
pointing feature thus far with our
professional upllftors has been tho
distinct lack of any reasonably
doflnlto plan to take tho place of
what Is torn down. Wo must dto
more than Bupplant one abuso with
another, possibly an bad or worse
than tho original. If, as Is assortod
by many, tho day of segregated social
vice Is past, cities must hasten to
Improvlso a hotter method for hand
ling tho problem, for, unfortunately,
tho evil does not disappear with the
erasure of district lines.
Xing Corn's Supremacy.
Kins; Corn put ?1, 850,776, 000 of
new wealth into tho pockets ot the
American farmer this year. Ho put
3,160,137,000 bushels of this cereal
tntq his granaries, which exceeds tho
greatost corn crop ever produced by
any country by 281,921,00 bushels.
That Is a little more than Nebraska's
1913 crop amounted to. This state
ranks fourth or fifth In the list ot
corn growing states. Corn consti
tutes three-fifths ot all our agricul
tural products. JJoth in acreage and
yield per acrewo aro Increasing our
production. Nebraska's part, there
fore, In this stupendous output each
year gives it a ploco near tho top, and
ahead of other older states with sev
oral times its population. In this
lies tho significance of Nebraska's
future. Whon our peoplo are more
numerous and our land generally
opened up to Intensive cultivation,
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana
will havo to look to their laurels to
avoid being surpassed by this
younger state, a veritable dominion
in fertility, Corn is still king, form
ing a third or more ot the crop
wealth ot the country and Nebraska
has a proud part In maintaining Us
supremacy. '

Never lieered him blame the worM

Never hrerrd him rAII nt life
Or expreeH n gloomy,, thought:
Seen It rnlnln' pitchforks, when &
Outside Inbor he had plflnncd: J
All he sold wuz: "After thU I
Won't the sun lu simply grand?"
Seen him shoulders high with oale.
Didn't know "which ' way t' turn.
Trouble, troubles, ever'wlioro:
Never, far as, I can learn,
Walled nn' whimpered jit his, fte.
Took 'em Mnlllng, one by One;
Telling folks; When these ate lst
What comes noxVlr Jos' be fun "
Seen lilili r lie .hubs In mud,
Wagon stuck an' hos.xos tired;
Never growled nbottt the -rout!.
Never kicked 'coz ho wuz mired;
Hetited for a wlillo nn' Kald
T' the bosses: "NeVor mind, .
Jes' a rod or two nhend
Easier goln' weishall find."
Seems his woes appealed t him,
Jes' tu sugar tlo'es' t'- boys;
Used 'em, too. In Jes thnt Way.
Made 'em sweeten uu his jovs.
