One of the grave results of the huge ma

The news that Clarence King has become

No contest is ever settled until it is
settled right. The triumph Of the con-
federated corporations in the recent
campaign is only the fororunner OF a
greater struggle by the people OF this
state for the recovery OF their
right to govern themselves. Europe
must either become all Russian
lied or all civilized, said the
great Napoleon. This country cannot
long continue half free and half slave
states, said the prophetic Helper in his
historic book on the Impending Crisis"
In the anti-slavery struggle there were
many reverses, but right finally van
quished might and wrong.
From the verdict of Tuesday there
will be another appeal, and another and
still another. However fierce the torrent
of abuse and defamation may rage we
shall not he deferred from opposing
with every Legitimate means at our
command tho attempted subjugation
of the people of Nebraska and the
overthrow of constitutional govern
mcnt. However deep the people may
have fallen into dangerous error and
natter themselves that ours Is q re-
publican state we still maintain that
it is q state governed by a despotism
more absolute and autocratic than any
constitutional monarchy.
The issue of the late campaign in
volved principles dearest to American
freemen. The issue involved something
more vital than the financial well being
of our people. 1t was broader and
deeper than the material interest
of any individual. The contest in
volved the right of the commonwealth
to preserve its own existence and to per-
| petuate the beneficent institutions in so
far as their existence depends upon the
free exercise of the sacred right to
choose their own lawmakers, their own
executive and their own judiciary. Com
pared with this issue all others are in
significant.
Judge Harrison's character and ca
paclty were not called in ques-
ton, but the method by which
Maxwell was defeated, coupled with
the fact that Harrison owes his
election to the railroad power, exercised
in the most shameless way, forever
bars him from that confidence and
respect which every American citizen
should entertain for the men who
sit in the highest judicial tri-
bunal created by the constitution.
Can any citizen have implicit confidence
in the impartiality of courts whose
members get their credentials from rail
road headquarters? Will such a court
ever do justice when the rights of a citi-
zen, or the state itself, clash with the
interests of giant corporations? Will
the creature dare rebel against it's Gre
ator? 1t cannot be possible that the
people of Nebraska are so craven as
to submit to such a subversion of their
rights for any considerable length of
time

DE.arH OF rRAnCIs pARKMAN.

The death of Francis Parkman takes
from us an historian and an author
whose works have shed luster upon the
scholarship of American students.
Parkman was essentially an American
historian, combining his Investigations
to the early records of his own country
and ariting primarily for the instruc-
ton Of his own countrymen. He has
held the attention of students OF history
in every part of the world and has been
ranked by competent authorities at
least along side of Bancroft, if not above
him.
A graduate of Harvard university of
1914, when a college education meant
much more than it does now, he began
his career as an historian almost before
he had emerged from the college walls.
production from his pen, described the
territory which he intended to work over
later and was based upon a journey
of observation through what vas
then the untrof den prairies and the
wilds of the Rocky mountains. From
this sketch of western life, through his
studies of early French colonization and
down to his final work, entitled"Montcalm
and Wolfe and published in 1884, he
showed the same attractiveness of style
and the same penetration into import
ant details which combined make his
books so readable.
Mr.. Parkman's achievements are all
the more remarkable from the fact that
he was during the greater part of his
life physically weak and compelled by
his impaired eyesight to make use of
others in the preparation of his ma
t~erials. These materials were the re-
ports, in French that had been sent to the
home government by the early French
colonial officers, and 10 them was oun a
mine of historic wealth. What Mr..
Parkman has worked over has been so
thoroughly CLEANED that there is little
necessity for others todevote themselves
to the same field, but there Is still much
to be done to supplement what he has
thus far given US.
,-Parkman has been d~eservedly pop
ular in the west, because he has
busted himself largely with themes
bearing ON the history OF The west. But
his reputation is by no means LEGAL,
nor oven national. He Is recognized
| abroad as an historian of highest au-

course is not to graduate professional adver-

and advantageously TO solicit patronage in
an attractive and intelligent manner, and TO
avoid the catch penny schemes and worth

SWORN STATEMENT OF CIRCULATION.
TIE BEsT ALWArs the CHEAPEST

f'' ~ ~
THE BEE is the only paper in Omaha
and Nebraska that prints the Geographic
reports OF the Associated press and
shares all the facilities of the Associated
press with the great dailies of the coun-
try. Compare the telegraph columns OF
THE BEE with those of other papers
published in this section and you will
see at q glance the marked superiority
of dispatches published by this paper,
both as to quality and quantity. The
difference is especially striking when
you compare the commercial news and
cable dispatches of the Associated press
with the market report and cable news
of other press associations.
The Associated press has recently ac-
quired the exclusive use of the European
dispatches of the Reuter- Telegram COM
pany of London, the Agence Havas of
France and Belgium and the Corre-
spondenz Bureau of Wolf in Germany
and Austro- Hungary. The so-called
cable letters that have from time to
time appeared IN papers publishing the
United press reports are for the most
part what may be called butterine cable
grams, manufactured in Now York
from clippings of foreign papers and
latest foreign news letters.
THE BEE now as ever eXcels all COM
petitors in its facilities for collecting
the news of its own territory, which
embraces Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Ne
braska, South Dakota, Wyoming,
Utah, Montana and Idaho. In
its local field, covering everything
that pertains to Omaha and her suburbs,
THE BEE has for years been recognized
las peerless. The same is true regarding
the original contributions and CORE
spondence from all parts Of the globe.
The editorial page of The BEE will
stand favorable comparison with that of
any OF the metropolitan dailies.
A newspaper is a commodity whose
value is gagged by the cost of produc-
ton. THE BEE pays more for tele-
graphic news than do all the other dailies
of Iowa and Nebraska combined. Uni
versal experience teaches that the best
is invariably the cheapest.
