Hod Versus Big Stick. The schoolmaster's ferruled rod proves quite as efficacious as tho big stick for disciplinary purposes when It comes to whipping recalcitrant par tisans Into line, as tho senate's vote on tho tariff bill discloses. Fourteen democratic senators from tho south and west foroaworo at tho outset to oppose tho bill to tho last it It forced free wool and froo sugar. The bill underwent no change on theso Items, but only two of the fourteen, Hans- dell and Thornton of Louisiana, stood out. The rest, including our caucus bucking senator from Nebraska, meekly fell into line and "passod un der tho rod," like good little boys obeying tholr teacher. It Is one thing to kick against the pricks of party power and patronage nnd another to make good on it. "A leadership and steadfastness in coun sel has been shown in both houses, of which tho democratic party has reason to bo very proud," says Presi dent Wilson, as balm to the afflicted. Let us observe the moral effect of the lesson when the administration's other pet measure, the currency bill, comes up for action.

Denouncing King Caucus and then voting precisely according to caucus decree Is a pastime that is at leoBt harmless to tho bosses. Mathematics of the Maine Election. Interpreting the result ot the by- election in a Malno congressional district, a democratic commentator observes: Tho election in the Third Maine dis trict shows the democrats holding their own, and It shows that about half tho republicans who loft the old party In 19U to follow Roosevelt and Ucorge Perkins have wnshtd the war paint off their faces and meekly none back to the reservation. That is ono way ot putting it, but not strictly accurate unless further oxplalned. Strangely enough, tho to tal vp to in tho Third district at tho special cloction Is almost the same as tho total voto at tho presidential elec tlon, so that tho shifting between the parties must be a re-allgnment of tho voters, and not duo to Influx ot new voters. But if tho voting In Maine last year was Uko tho voting In other states, Wilson did not win tho olec toral voto becauso the democrats woro In tho majority, or oven in Plurality, in Maine, nut becauso a largo number of republicans voted tho democratic ticket to mako sure ot heading off the third party candidate It is possible that Wilson lost a few votes to Roosovelt, but thcBo would bo several times counterbalanced by republican accretions. . . . Tho Malno by-olectton, therefore, indicates, first, that the republicans who voted for Wllspn are again vot ing tho republican ticket; second, that the democrats who voted tor Roosovelt are again voting the demo cratic ticket; third, that half ot tho former third party followers hayo al ready deserted that nartr. most- ot them vqtlng'for the republican candi date for congress, but some of them plainly voting for the domocratlo candidate for congress who otherwise could not possibly have polled sub stantlally the same voto as did Wll son, Tho one thing proved boyond question la that the voto polled tor Roosevelt in 1912 In no way rcflectB party strength, but for tho most part represents merely temporary detec tions from tho two old parties.

Hur rah for the low cost of living) Aimed at Omaha Sleeping in Dining Oars, As a result ot pressure from the state food commissioner, Nebraska railroads are planning to provide sleeping car accommodations for their colored train employes, hereto fore huddled up, as on all railroads, n tho diners, We may congratulate jurselvcs if leading In bo good a cause and hope other states will promptly fall into line, forcing sim ilar action on all railroads, Strange that oven the long-suffer ing American public has so patiently put up so long with the crude combi nation of dining car and sleeping place. Not only does tho traveler pay big prices for all ho gets in a diner and sleeper, but In addition ho contributes iu tips a large part ot tho waiter's wages, and, to heap on top of this, to compel him to take his meals in a car occupied at night as the employes' bed room, Is more than ho should have to endure. It should bo understood, however, that this practice is not universal. Many diners still have, runs, as they all did at first, that permit them to stand for tho night and the crews to sleep oft the train. It is the through trains carrying the same diner all the way where this abuse calls for remedy. flilrtv Yrnri Aw Completion of the Sixteenth street road way occasions an enumeration of fast horses owned In Omaha, n.aklng up th.s list: W.

Times. Senator Hitchcock Is aching to get off the reservation. This democratic business was always differently and It Is hard to believe he ever really sympathized with that party or believed In Its alleged principles. Now that ths "copperhead" and rebel element has secured control of the government and the patronage, he Is beginning to feel a little sore and remember which side ot the "cause" his father was In sympathy with. Buch patriotic democrats as he can not expect much Influence with a son of a confederate and a son of the Knights ot the Golden Circle, for presi dent and secretary of state. Say what you will, the son of Phlncas Hitchcock, the union soldier, the free soil advocate, can not expect his father's record to be entirely forgotten by those who opposed him to the death. Blood Is thicker than water and memory lingers long after the sores are healed over. Senator Hitch cock can uot make a postmaster In his own stato without standing In the ante room of the secretary of state and ap proaching him with his hat In his hand. No wonder ho Is getting tired of ltl No doubt he remembers what his father said and the things he did, for his country, and for the republican p.arty, and longs to be herded again with the sheop Instead of the goats. A Vegetable Garden nqaqnet, Craig News. Last week two small towns Bancroft and Craig with their chautauquas, blocked the progress of many business men of this section toward the Den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.. The rail road company learning of the local counter-attractions, called off the special train, and any who went were obliged to stay over night. This Ak-Sar-Ben scheme Is a great scheme for Omaha, and the country retailer who encourages It by accepting the Invitation In September, only gets what's coming to him when the country buyer accepts tho same lnvlta tlon In October.

It has been a problem to farmers for several yeata how to get alfalfa to grow on their -own land, when weather conditions are un favorable. Still The Bee's Idea Is good. Alfalfa Instead of weeds along the high ways would be a vast Improvement. Only Way o Convert Wootter. York Times. Religious people are having an awful time with Charley Wooster, in the "Bee's letter box." No man can be a good wnnstian and wear his whiskers Charley does. The way to convert him. and tho only way, Is to shave off ha burnsldes, his muttonehopo and his mustache, all at one fell swoop. Then he might see something beyond them. ox' People Talked About What Nebraska democrats want to know now is whether that plum tree is to be shaken right away or whether they will have to wait till the currency bill runs the gauntlet. Of course, tbero Is no significance in the recapture by republicans of a Maine congressional district that Is to say, there ia no significance to it if you believe democratic organs and oracles. Just imagine, however, what they would be saying wero It ft republican district captured by the democrats. Yci, Brother Wead, but when do wo start building that duplicate set of water mains to feed the fire hy drants a different brand ot fluid rom that delivered to us for domestic purposes T President Wilson, regretting his Inability to attend the Perry celebra tlon, says that "no man can truly praise those who did their duty by neglecting his own." We trust the president is not "alluding" to anyone Jn blf own official cabinet family. The corn crop In Nebraska Is rated by the government at 37 per cent as compared with a rating of 80 per cent for last year and of 78 per cent for an average. This means that Nebraska has just about halt a corn crop, alt of which will be needed for use right here at home. Facts and Fancies Hard Goal Trust Chairman Currle ot the republican state committee may at least be grat ified to know even at this late date that he can be an "unregenerate republican" and at the same time "one ot Nebraska's moat sensible and level-headed citizens."

Indianapolis News: In bringing suit against the "Reading system," the gov ernment makes another attempt to reach the heart ot the hard coal monopoly. That a monopoly exists is the belief of the hard coal consumers of the east, and also ot the Department ot Justice at Washington. , Philadelphia Bulletin: The objective point of the prosecution, of course, la competition, but the question Is whether or not, even If the government succeeds in breaking up the combination and In going to the very length of their pro gram in bringing about a new owner ship, there will be the guarantee ot ef fective competition In the lowering of prices, or that competition will, as It has In various other cases where there la a limit of productive capacity, continue to keep prices up to the high point hi. Louis Republic; Nominally tho Reading railroad Is not affected by this law, for the Reading company's mining operations are carried on by tho Phila delphia and Reading Coal and Iron com pany. But a brief examination of the names In the directorates of these com panies shows George F.

Frlck and others appear In the Hate The government contends that these sepa rate companies are shams Intended to cover the fact that the ownership of the land, the operation of the mines and the transportation of the coal to market are all in the hands of a single monopolistic interest. New York World: In one respect tho suit introduces an Innovation. The late J. I. Morgan once asked how the govern ment was going to "unscramble ' At least the attempt Is now to be, made. The Standard Oil dissolution, thouah vat. uable as a precedent for the future, was greatly affected In Its practical result by tno amrion or tne severed companies' lucua among tne same persons who owned the parent corporation. Mr. Mc iieynoms asks the court to order the sale of Its subsidiaries by the Read.'ng to persons not its stockholders or agents. nor oinerwise under Us control or In flutnce." Such an order might be dtffl cult of enforcement In practice, but with out it a dissolution Is scarcely real. Garbage and Files. OMAHA, Sept 10.-To the Editor of The Bee: In line with your timely agitation ot the need of Improving our garbage system, let me suggest tho wisdom ot Incineration as a complement to the fly extinction crusade waging all over the land. It seems to me the system that most effectually wipes out ot existence In the shortest time all this putrid mat ter on which files feed and breed Is the one to adopt and I think It will be ad mitted that the Incinerator Is the one. We cannot afford to weigh dollars against life and health, and that Is what we do every time we falter In advancing municipal sanitation. We cannot afford, therefore, to hesitate In expending money for the very beat garbage system possible. We ought speedily to dispose of this question, anyway, and give a tangible meaning to our much-mouthed slogan of "swat the fly." I don't know how we could do that collectively better than getting this garbage question out of the way. I hope the people will not fall to realize the Importance of this matter as emphasized by The Bee's very timely exposition. It may not admit of much grandstanding, but It offera stand ing room for all the reformers who want to get In on the ground floor of a good thing to boost A TAXPAYER. The Socialist Party. CRESTON. Ia., Sept. 10. To the Editor of The Bee: A political party Is a ma. chine for the promotion of an Idea or set of principles or privileges believed In or desired by any group of people In human society. The nonpartisan "Golden Rule Jones" of Toledo, O., had a party In spite of himself. He had to organize a political machine. Just as any other party. It's a party, no matter if it goes under the name of "Jones" or "socialist" Dr. Frank Crane did fine In answering the attack of Judge Wade Cuahlng on so clallsm and socialists, but how can Dr. Crane bellevo the socialist party to be so many good things and doing such won ders and still repudiate It? He states: I do not belong to It, for the chief rea so nthat I do not believe In the organiza tion of democracy by political parties. He then goes on to say: It Is not opportunist, anneals to abso lute Justice, Is radically opposed to privilege and based on equal opportun ity, naa 1313 Ideas, alms to correct ovil conditions and not merely to administer palliations. Increases every year, Is In ternational and embraces the world all humanity and In not smitten with tho narrowness of race prejudice or Chau vinism, the only party opposed to war. Geel Dr. Crane, what do you want as an organization to establish democracy? It 'seems that you are good enough to picture us Ideally, but still our party la not good enough tor you. We poor comrades In the party would like It If Dr. Crane would give us his way of getting democracy or socialism without a political party. Show us. Dr. Crane, and we'll all get In. J. E. 8NYDER. Approvea the Ilenr-End Protest. OMAHA, Sept 10. To the Editor ot The Bee: "D. E. Cent's" letter to The Bee, protesting against cortaln abuses of the rear-end street car privelgea hits the nail rather squarely. He has said, what was In the mind of many of us, It the improprieties of crowding women passengers, blowing smoke In th'elr faces are to cease, ono1 thing needed first will be cars of different constructed rear ends. The expansive space Invites, If it does not mako necessary, passengers tandlng on the rear. I think Omaha cars and the street railway In general are up to the standard of cities or our size, but It the most of the extra space allotted tq the rear end were thrown within the en closure It would be an Improvement all round. Perhaps by the time people are educated up to the point of refraining from blockading the car entrance the ompany will have cars without such large rear apartments. So far as smoking Is concerned, It seems utter folly for men to Imagine they cannot do without It for tho brief period of time consumed In the avereage street car trip. L. Q. MacS. Another way to attract favomble atten tion Is to be polite to your wife. The rule Is that the smaller tho woman the more scenery she can successfully stage. The best way to prevent a fight 13 to mako no effort 'to hold either ot the com batants. The woman who has grown children al ways claims to have been married when a mere child. You lll observe that tho orator who says the pcoplu can be trusted usually exacts cash when he deals with them. One Inquirer wants to know If a left fielder can play on foul ground. He can, but It Is considered unethical for him to do so. Most men are a good deal like base ball pitchers In the respect that they havo plenty of "stuff" when they don't need It and nothing at all when they have to have It They have found dental tools of the samo Ktneral design as those now used In the ruins of Pompeii, All ot the meth ods ot torture appear to havo been prac ticed by the ancients.
