1t is indeed sad to read in the Lincoln
Journal the following doleful item:
Governor Savage returned yesterday from
his home at Sargent, where he voted on
election day and put in his time trying to
swell the republican majority for the state
ticket. He returned well pleased with the
result in the state. but the defeat Of Con-
gresham Mercer and the victory Of Rose
water over the republican nominee weighed
heavily upon him. The governor was es-
pecially friendly to Congressman Mercer
and 1t grieved him to think that the Second
district, that was formerly the only repub-
lican district In the state, should now be
the only one that is not republican.
This is indeed sad. But perhaps Our
Dave can furnish balm in sympathizing
with Ezra 2. as the only republican who
has occupied the governors office in Ne
braska in twenty-five years who was re-
fused a denomination by his party.

n-IsCREpIrrp LEADERS.

There are several democratic leaders
whom Tuesdays elections have pretty
thoroughly dlscredited. Perhaps most
conspicuous among them is Tom l..
johnson Of Ohio, whose circus cam
paIgn was characteristic OF the man.
He showed himself a veritable dem
agogue throughout the contest and the
result is the most overwhelming defeat
the democracy Of the Buckeye state ever
experienced, at least in an on year.
Johnson is not the sort Of politician
to be disheartened by a single defeat
and there is no. doubt he Will be heard
from again. but he has been shOrn
Of much of his prestige and it is very
doubtful IL the party will be disposed
to again place itself so completely under
his leadership as II did in the late cam
paign. At all events IL seems safe TO
say that johnson will not have his am
bition to be governor Of Ohio. as a
stepping stone to a nomination for the
presidency, gratihed.
David b. Hill OF New York is an
other whose political prestige has been
very greatly impaired. His demagogiC
tendencies, as well as his unscrupulous
methods. have long been familiar, but
these have never been more fully and
boldly exhibited than in the late cam.

MORE THAN HIS DUE.
Chancellor Andrews Aware of Credit
Pronounced Unfair.
Portland Oregonlan

Portland Oregoniau.
Chancellor e. Benjamin Andrews OF IN,
University Of Nebraska has reaurrected ths
devil and cast upon his satanic maiestv
the odium Of hoodlum college foot hail.
One can imagine the straits to which a
man OF scholarly attachments and enlight-
ened mind has been reduced by the un-
seemly hilarity, bordering upon rufRanism.
Of the foot ball team Of his college. cele-
brating a victory over a rival team. He
could find no excuse in legitimate en-.
thusiasm for the rowdyism that
found vent in wrecking a street
car upon this occasion. and remem-
boring the days when he was young and
the terms "collegian" and gentleman"
were interchangeable. he fell back upon tho
idea Of a personal devil as the only elucl-
dalton Of the problem presented by tho
outrageous actions Of presumably well bred
young men laboring under foot ball mania.
While most people will be willing. no
doubt. to characterize the acts OF these
victorious foot ball players as d~eviltry, few
will indorse Chancellor Andrews view that
these acts were specifically the devils
work" The truth Of the matter Is that
the virtue Of s~elf-control is not sufficiently
impressed upon and i~nstilled into the minds
OF young people. II the youth wants to do
anything, that fact ID too often considered
a good and sufficient reason for doing Il.
The wishes, the rights and the feelings OF
others are not taken into account In the
matter. In the case referred to by Chan
cellor Andrews, the victors we're simply
wild with exultation. and gave full rein
to the mania that possessed them. They
did not want to curb themselves. That was
to them sufficient reason for the excuses
in which they INDUCED. Their censor was
right In estimating that IL would have
been far better had the Nebraska team been
defeated than to have made such an exhibit
tion OF itself in victory. Better still, how
ever, would have been a gentlemanly, even
though an exultant, bearing in the face OF
victory. The test of character comes not
in lack Of opportunity, but in meeting the
occasion as It arises with manly spirit,
the leading element Of which is decent self
control. Foot ball is 4 rough game. It Ia
not, however. necessarily a rufianly game.
That 1t begets at times a rufianly spirit ia
too true. The acts of a victorious team
dominated by this spirit may for conven-
fence sake, or to relieve the overcharged
feelings of a man who is in a sense re-
sponsible for the players, without being
able to control them, be called the devils
work" But the causes that lead up to
rowdyism, whatever the occasion, may read
lily be fixed without giving the devil more
than his due IN the promises.

he has played the part OF the demagogue
ono too often.
1t is probable thai former Governor
Pattison of Pennsylvania has had his
last opportunity as a candidate for po-
litical Office. The trouble with him in re-
cent years has been that he did not
pursue that straightforward, open and
candid course which is necessary to win
popular respect and confidence and his
defeat Tuesday places him in the list
Of discredited leaders. There are some
others, but Of less prominence, though
perhaps Uncle" Horace Boies should

NEW RULE F0R ioWA SAVINGS BANKS.

NEW RULE FOR iowa SAVINGS BANKS.
AS a result of the recently published
opinion of the attorney general of Iowa
a marked increase in the number of saw
ings banks in the Hawkeye state may
be looked for in the near future.
Under the attorney generals interpre-
tation Of the law any bank, national,
state or private, or any individual. part
nership or private corporation may carry
on a savings bank business. Almost the
only restriction is that the words "sav-
ings bank" or Savings institution" can
not be used in describing or advertising
the business. Practically this comes
very near to free banking.
In the cities and large towns arrange
ments are being made for opening saw
ings banks, not only by the old banking
establishments, but also by large mer-
camille and other enterprises. In no
western state have savings grown with
such rapidity in recent years as in Iowa,
This is not due merely to the increase
of number and prosperity of the wage
earning class, which has been great. 1t
is a suggestive fact that numerous saw
ings banks have been %springing up and
prospecting in purely agricultural COM
munities.
The impetus which has now been given
to the business will undoubtedly make
it necessary for the legislature to enact
a code of regulations for savings banks
conducted under the guise of depaSt-
ments Of other enterprises.
