The Dearth of Delegates.
It in Interesting, almost amusing,
j to noto In the official publication of
tho Commercial club an advertise
ment of "Delegates Wanted. with
!,hG further lnformntlon that a great
I national congress Is to be hold in a
I distant city for which Omaha has
accepted an Invitation to bo repre
sented and that any member who
ran arrange to attend as tho club's
delegate- will please call for cre-
drntlals.
Not that this Is an excep
tional omergency, for we have every
reason to believe that It Is a chronic
ovcry-day condition. For conven
Hons and meetings of far-famed as
soclatlons with high-sounding titles,
to say nothing of high purposes, are
being held nearly nit the tlmo by
self-appointed volunteer delegates
bearing credentials Indicating that
they represent someone else. It Is
natural and essential that a body
like the Commercial club shall tie
lect as delegates for various gather
ings members inoro or less Inter
ested in the subject matter of dis
cussion without which the privilege
of putting In the time and footing
the travel bills would seldom offer
sufficient Inducement. It would.
Indeed, be handy to have attached
to the club a group of professional
delegates subject to call. Perhaps
tho next best thing is to get thorn by
advertising "Delegates Wanted."
Dr. McBurney's Legacy.
Tho modern method of diagnosis
and treatment of appendicitis is ono
ot the legacies of tho nineteenth cen
tury, bequeathed by Dr. Charles Mc
Burney, tho famous physician and
siirgeon who had charge of the case
of President McKlnley at Buffalo.
His sudden death during tho week
marks the end ot a moBt useful llfo.
His contribution to science should
stand as a constant Inspiration, firing
the efforts and gonitis of others ot
his profession, so pregnant of tho
possibilities of good. Whilo tho
world has profited boyond measure
by his bequest, It awaits yet larger
discoveries and remedies from medi
cine and surgery.
It was as long ago as 1889 that
Dr. McBurnoy's essay on "Experi
ence With Operative Interference in
Cases of Diseaso of tho Vermiform
Appendix" gavo to the world, the
now accepted way of providing
against this diseaso, and to him tho
name was Jocularly applied by his
colleague! "the father of appendi
citis." If thero were any way ot
telling how many lives have been or
will be prolonged In comfort and
safety as a result of Dr. McBurney's
work, then thero might bo a way of
estimating ltn value to the world.
A Cabinet Paradox.
'Those tulmtnatlonB between Col
onel Qoethals and Qovernor Metcalfe
of tho Panama dissolved Into sweet,
breathing amity eoon after Secretary
Garrison reached the scene of hos
tilities. "No disagreement at all,"
announces the president's official
cabinet peacemaker. Which, of
course, Is gratifying news to those
who fearod the consequences ot fric
tion botwoen the two ruling factors
In the Panama zone. Now, having
blown out the Balboa dam and re
moved this last obstruction, tho ships
may como In as soon as they are
ready, to paraphraso tho words of a
great fighting sea captain.
But thoro Is a comforting coincident
In tho outcome This administration,
like Roosovelt's, soonis to possess tho
paradox of having a war secretary
for Its official pacificator. When
ever trouble of a certain character
arose, whether Kt homo or abroad,
President Roosevelt dispatched Sec
retary Taft to the ncono and thp
trouble was usually flattenod out
with apeod and precision; naturally
so, because of Mr. Taft's groat weight
on the side ot peace. It Is qulto a
novel thing, In these piping times ot
peace, to have soraothlng for the sec-re-tary
ot war to do, and Mr. Garrison
will becomo an important cog In tho
present wheel of affairs It he Is able
to accomplish half for his country In
this capacity as did Secretary Taft.
John Mitchell announces his retire
ment officially from the Amorlcan
Federation of Labor. So much the
worse for the federation. It needs
all the John Mitchells It can keep in
official positions. The small-bore
animus responslbe for Mr. Mitchell's
ultimate action will not do to match
against his large-caliber capacity and
Influence.
John L. Sullivan advises an
adopted son to "let booze alone, let
women alone till you feel like you
want to get married, work hard,
don't got tho fool notion of going
to college and keep out of politics."
John L. was never in college and not
far in politics, so on these his advice
la not expert.
. When Chief Justice White ot the

It Is reassuring to know, at any
rate, that It has fallen to the lot of
our democratic United States senator
all by himself to "Improve" President!

RANDOLPH, Neb., Guy Fawkes Day,
1913.-To the Bdltor of The Bee: The
history of po'ltlcal parties In the United
States would makn Interpstlne- rendtne.
J There have been thirty ot such parties
! that have como up, but, like the seed
that fell In stony places In the 'scrip
ture parable, they have wasted away
boeaufp they did not talio root. I am
not Holnpr to make any Wit of them.
There nave teen the Anti-Mason party,
the Know-Nothing party, and a host
of other. In Nebraska, before Populism
came on tho stage, we had experience
with the so-called Anti-Monopoly party,
and the Greenback party, and our friends
of the cold water profession, calling
themselves Prohibitionists. All of these
made something of a showing. At the
election of 1882, the third party was so
numerous that notwithstanding the fact
that there was a normal republican
majority In the state of 14,000 James W
Dawes was elected jfovcrnor as a minor
ity candidate. Next we shall apeak of a
man who was elected by less than one
third of. the vote cast at the polls.
All these attempts at a third party In
the state showed a wnnt of confidence
In the organisation and management of
the two old parties.- After a brief
struggle for existence, they all died out.
Though the political tenets ot those par
ties were fallacious, they were, each
of them, a fecblo though misguided at
tempt to better things. In those old
days, all these stragglers for something
better looked to Edward Rosowater and
gavo him their fullest confidence. But
Mr. Rosewater was struggling for re
form within his party. He wore no yoke,
nobody' brand; spoke his mind without
fenr, and, even on some occasions, re
fused to support a candidate for office,
even though nominated by his own
party, As the state became more densely
populated, thero wero more pcoplo who
believed that tho people and not the
railroads ought to rule the state. I
have passed lightly and In a general
way ovrr this period of Incubation,

say that the city or prlvato parties could
buy the land as near to the heart of the

he ought to get out of tho business he Is
In and go to building auditoriums for a

LINCOLN, Nov. 7. To the Editor of
The Bee: The Normal board has spoken
at last and Dr. Thomas stands con
demned for the awful orlme "contempt
of Cavlnes."
Superintendent Cavlncss being asked
about Dr. Thomas fitness for the chan
cellorship ot the University of Arkansas,
thus learned that he was being con
sidered for that place and proceeded to
queer his chances by sending a circular
Utter to the regenta stating that Thomas
had misquoted them. Dr. Thomas re
sented In a publle manner this little
courtesy and by so doing "lost the
confidence and destroyed the trust" of
the board to such an extent he could no
longer be of service to the Normal schools
of Nebraska In spite of his splendid
record as head of the Kearney Normal.
We ought to be satisfied with this coa.
lnclnjr explanation, but .It we are not
wo are assured that further reasons are
In course ot preparation.
