Governor Morehead Draws Cards.
Dosplte his repeated solemn plcdgos to bo
content with a slnglo term, Governor Morehead
has yielded to "Irresistible preosuro" for him to
draw cards and sit In tbo gamo another round.
Tho artiflcal production of the "Irresistible
pressure" has been so apparent and transparent
that no orio crediting Govornor Morehead with
ordinary common senso can beilevo that he
thinks ho Is deceiving anyono, not even himself.
But with all the illustrious precedents of break
ing sacred covenant with the pooplo, and re
pudiating political pledges made to got In on,
but ndt to stand on, tho governor would havo
done belter to announce simply that ho had
changed his mind; that tho game was so fasci
nating that he could not stop playing.
Tho demand of Governor Morehead for ro
nomlnatlon in' tho democratic primary will lend
zest to what was already slated to bo a lively
preliminary campaign. Tho governor seems
persuaded that he can ask for indorsement of
hJs administration regardless of side Issues, but
wo 'believe his chief task will bo to square his
candidacy with his provlous promise not to run,
and the inevitable corollary that no promise ho
now makes may be safely depended on.
Home Rule for Ireland.
Tho long fight for homo rule for Ireland is
prftcticallV ended, and all who havo participated
in that stubborn strugglo for greater froedom for
tho pcoplo of the Emerald Isle havo a right to
rojolco, yand-iare entitled to congratulations.
Some slight obstacles may yet remain in tho
way, but 'it' can bo only a matter of time and
adjustment when tho rostorcd Irish parliament
wlll.be t -reality. Liberty loving people in this
country have from tho first steadfastly sympa
thized with the Irish cause, and were it not for
tho substantial rcsponso always mado by Irish
Americans to tho successive calls for help at
critical times, the battle' could not evon now bo
won. Hondo, tho final success may be regarded
as a Joint IrlBh and American victory.
Mellen Versus Morgan.
"Wall atrool recognized the Morgan it know
lc Mellen's description of how the Westchester
road was acquired," says the Chicago Tribune's
Wall stroot correspondent. And moro: "Wall
street bollevos that Mellen was simply relating
facts -when ho paid that he became prcsldont
of tho Now Haven nt Morgan's request, tho mat
tor being negotiated ovor the telephone with
out reference to salary. That was Morgan's
way of doing things." Further ho says that
Wall street also believes Mellen accurately pic
tured Morgan, when ho said: "I do not recall
anything In which Mr. Morgan did not havo
his way."
It Is natural and admlrnblo for tho Bon of
tho lato colossus of flnanco to como forward In
hlB fnthor's defonso. Tho public that thought
It knew th'o lato Mr. Morgan, however, Is apt
to allow for tho element of filial devotion and
glvo'oar to tho dictum of Wall street In decid
ing as botwoon young Morgan and Mellen on
tho wltnoss Btand. What tho public is moro in
terested in than splitting hairs of veracity bo
'tweon these two men, is tho hopo and belief
that as a result of this cxposo laws will bo
onactod to confirm tho already-aroused public
sentiment' against poSslblo repetition of the
quoatldnablo Now Haven doals.
Warning Investors.
The gold br(ck man of past days as a bunko man
was a blunderer an compared' with those who
promote fake oil companies, if the people who are
solicited to buy oil stocks on the strength of an al
leged Indorsement by the government would Insist
upon publications In which It Is distinctly stated
that Qll may bo found In the field that Is being
promoted, or would write to the survey at Washing
ton, Inquiring if thoro ore such puoucattons, the loss
of their savings would be avoided. So carefully aro
these advertisements worded that after having read
them once or twice you are almost willing to take
oath that the government geologists are enthuslastto'
over these lands aa a rich oil territory, when as n.
matter of, fact no government geologist would risk
10 cents on their oil possibilities.
This statement from Dr. George Otis Smith,
director of the United States geological survey,
will, undoubtedly, have farrreachlng influonco.
3t cortnlnly should. It Is a sort of climax of
tho long-oxorted effort by tho government to
protect the gullible public from tho ravages of
fajto stojk promoters and gold brick artists of
overy description. Thoso commercial pirates
have reaped their fortunes, and all tho while
with their good friend, Uncle Sam, standing by
varnlng thorn to be careful. Tho speculative
.instinct of -the average American has proved
itself a hard master to curb or control. People
ought to take the word of their government for
jt, "though, that those palpable frauds, despite
all tho campaign mado to abolish them, are still
being practiced. Such warnings must not ha
.taken to apply to the legitimate stocks, but
at . . A a . r '
wiero inusi oe tuis wceuing-out. Tho govern
nient cannot afford to make itself a party to
"rascality by keeping quiet.
On Running Prisons.
Thomas Mott Osborno of Now York, who
voluntarily spent 8,x days lit a stnto prison, has
vritten a book of his impressions and conclu
sions as to necessary reforms In tho conduct of
.prisons, which seems to contain a lot of hard
senso. He Is not one of those who would abol
ish prisons or penal correction, but looks on
these Institutions as a human necessity. Some
of tho terms he employs In describing modem
penitentiaries and their methods aro "organized
lunacy," "monumental Imbecility," ''hideous,
degrading and unsuccessful." And, Judging
from the -detail of his own experiences, he is
not far wrong. '
The problem Is to strike, the proper medium
between discipline so rigid as to have the effect
of revenge o"h tho part of tho state and a soft
sentlmcntalism, which a certain class of news
'Paper space-writers "and mushroom reformers
afo' now preaching. The prison loses its func
tion .And thwarts its purpose when Instead of
tending, toward Improvement, It turns a man
out worse, than It found him, more hardened in
sin atjd tlo sense of crime. Mr. Osborne says
he had to cut short his voluntary Imprisonment
to save hlmsolf any respect for tho law, at all.
No douhjUmany a man comes out of the penltenr
tarv theoretically an annrrhut nn onan.
p w ... v iiuiiij u
tlaw and' government, determined to deal it a
blow at the first opportunity, Where such Is
the, case it must be the fault of Uie prison sys
tem and management. Is It not time for the
state to address Itself gravely to this gravo task
of making (he prlsbns more nearly what they
ought and were intended to be?

OMAHA. May ad.-To the Editor of The
Bee. A few days ago there appeared an
article In your paper wherein It was
stated that Election Commissioner Moor
head made a talk or speech In one of our
churches on the question of elections and
election officials. In the article It Is
stated that Mr. Moorhead said that there
were not thirty-six honest men In the
Third wsrd, or men he would trust as
election officials, I don't know whether
Mr. Moorhead made such a statement,
hut If he did, I wish to say that he Is
either Ignorant of the facts, or Is mak
ing a deliberate mis-statement.
I have lived In the Third ward and
voted In the ward for many years, and
before Mr. Moorhead landed In Omaha,
and have acted as an election official for
many years, before Mr. Moorhiad was
election commissioner, and I can truth
fully say that out of the 360 to 600 regis
tered voters In tho Fourth precinct of
the Third ward I can pick out about 200
voters within my personal knowledge
whom I would trust as quick as I would
Mr. Moorhead as an election official.
Why such a statement was made In a
church cannot be accounted for excepting
on the grounds that Mr. Moorhead
thought It would be stronger. Surely It
Is not a good advertisement for Omaha,
as the statement Is heralded over the
country and gives those not knowing the
opinion that Qfnaha. u n tad Piace. Mr.
Moorhead may have done much good In
his offlco, but ho jiholijd stick a little
closer to, the facts.' ' C. lii KUBATi '

OMAHA, May 26To the Editor of The
Bee: Tho antl statement that a great
number of woman suffragists do hot
want competent men for office Is of no
value, because It Is not based on a fact.
This If merely an opinion and opinions
are of little value that are not based on
a statement of fact Even If women did
organise to work against anti-suffrage
candidates that does not Imply that these
candidates are Unfit. A6cordlng to that
theory all democrats must consider nil
republicans unfit and vice versa. All
voters either support or oppose certain
candidates because they aree or disagree
with the views advocated by -the- candi
dates. This antl must prove that, the
anti-suffrage candidates were cleaner and
better men or withdraw from his posi
tion. SQUARE DEAL.

Transplanting a Newspaper
How an Americans Daily in Mexico
City Was Moved Bodily to Vera Crnz
Mnvlna; tnuse of the .Move.
At precisely 10:36 o'clock on the night of April
tJ mWa ;rkkbat 'mashing through the windows
into his drawing room convinced Paul Hudson of the
Mexican Herald that the publication of an American
L !1 H0XlCO Cl,y ,carcy wH contlnu
to meet with general and popular approval. There
?. b, .!hlnd the brlckbttt' n Plcturesnue
t?,Z J JXP uf' eh0UtCd bj' the thron ln
furnished anything but a comfortable accompaniment
to the sound of smashing glass.
Acting on one of his own editorial paragraphs to
the effect that "snsp Judgment usually Is forgiven
if it contains either snap or Judgment," Mr! Hudson
reached a decision that the next edition of the Mex
ran Herald would see the light In Vera Cruz, within
the American lines. Thus was a decision reached to
abandon tho building and plant In which a newspaper
had been Issued under rifle and shell fire during ten
days of bombardment of Mexico City which preceded
the tragic end of President Francisco I. Madero.
The occupation of Vera Crux by the marines and
bluejackets of the American fleet had been announced
In Mexico City by extra editions of the newspapers.
Mobs quickly formed and started to parade the
streets with shouts of "Death to the' Gringos. " The
Mexican Herald building, In which Mr. Hudson had
apartments on tho second floor, facing the street was
naturally an object' pf attack. In Mew of Its charac
tcr as an American Institution!
Keirspnper flicked Over .VIBht nn n Train.
After the attack, on the building and the street
demonstrations had shown the feeling In the capital,.
Mr. Hudson decked not. to "attempt to Issue a paper
for the morning of April 22. Instead he called to
gether certain members of his staff and announced
his decision to move the Mexican Herald to Vera
Cruz If there was a train to be had. Railway com
munlcatlon had ceased with tho landing of the Ameri
cans' at the gulf port Apparently intervention had
begun and Americans in Mexico City were bottled
Mp until the donclUion of the war or American troops
could reach the city, AcUng on the theory, however,
that perhaps there would bo refugee trains out when
the American diplomatic representative was handed
his passports. Mr Hudson ordered rnmbers of his
staff to be ready to leave for Vera Crux at a mom
ents jiotlce.
The noxt afternoon, tho announcement came that a
refugee train would leave for Vera Crur, .The. ar
rangement to get foreigners jout of the capital had
been msde through the efforts of the British minis
ter, Sir Lionel Carden, and the German minister.
Rear Admiral Baron Paul von Hlntze. At tho time
the announcement was made that perhaps this would
be the only train for Vera Cruz which would be al
lowed to depart from the capital. While darkness
was bringing to an end tho second' day's fighting ln
Vera Cruz, the refugee train pulled out of Mexico
City. The equipment of the Hudson party, aside
from scant personal baggage, consisted of nothing but
the matrices of a few Issues of the paper, for tho
purpose of casting the front page head of tho paper,
and so that cssts of' contract standing advertise
ments might bo mado.
Resume Publication nt Vera Cms.
Arriving in Vera Cruz Thursday afternoon a con
tract for the printing of the Herald was made with the
proprietor of La Opinion, a local morning and after
noon paper, and by Saturday afternoon the first
edition of the morning Herald was on the streets
of Vera Crus. Three issues only had been missed
from tho tltne of closing In Mexico City. Since that
time Mr. Hudson and his staff have been accumulat
ing exeriances which would make' fine -material -for
a lecture before & school of Journalism on the diffi
culties of making a newspaper.

type machines, which have never known the touch
of an Intelligent machinist, should go down Just af
ter composition had begun and stay down for periods
of six to twelve hours, making tt necessary to Issue
a morning newspaper the following afternoon has be
como of ' such frequtnt occurrence not to cause a
ripple.
A few days ago a tropical rain flooded the patio of
La Opinion's building. A choked drain and the over
flow was turned Into. the composing. room. For moro
than an hour a stream of water half an Inch deep
covered tho floor and flowed oft Into another Inner
patto, while the heavy downpour continued to sup
plement the original supply. The incident was taken
as a matter of course; linotype operators with their
feet on boxes continued to set type; planks were laid
from the dump to the old-fashioned composing stones
so that the make-up man could continue to work;
every one grinned and kept on the Job.
"Sparks" Right Oat of The Fire.
The paragraph column of "Chlspazos," which Is
Spanish for sparks, for many months has been a
feature of the Mexican Herald. With Mexican opera
tors who had never set a word of English ln their
lives, working on the copy, tt was' Impossible to do
much with the proof, but the editorial -column, all
hands decided, ought to be "clean."
Struggling with this problem and reading the tenth
revise on his paragraphs, Mr. Hudson went down
Into the composing room and spoke personally with the
operator. "If we stay here until noon." he said, "I
will keep calling for revises until I can get a clean
proof." Not caring for any more work than abso
lutely neccsrary, tho' operator dovoted all his atten
tion to setting lines correctly. After half an hour the
number of errors was reduced to two. Then a
final a'ttempt was made. The result was not per
fect tiut with a penknife, two commas and a super
fluous final "c" which had been added, to the good
English word of "government" were eliminated and
for the first time a full column of English type, with
out errors, had been produced In the offices of La
Opinion.
Mr, Hudson Is a son of the late Brigadier-General
Joseh Hudson, who o'ned the Topeka, Kan., Capital,
and has lived ln Mexico for seventeen years. The
polcy of the Herald has been frequently severely
critical of the manner In which the State department
at Washington has handled the Mexican question.
Hen'ce the Chlspazo. "It was William who put the
shun in Intervention:" and another. "Jones Is a queer
gink who never tasted grape Juice." and "Jones
thinks that a peaceful occupation Is a mighty queer
occupation tor an arms-."
Therefore he smiled when the Mexican headline
artist on the Herald, In setting the line, "Bryan
wants mediation." made it read "Bryan wants medl.
tatlon." and all Vera Cruz that knows English
smiled with him.
