GoVERNMESr BY GOVERNORS

Advocates of primary election reform
have always laid great stress upon the
imperative need of the abolition of nom
nations by convention and the selection
Of candidates for Office by direct vote Of
the members Of the respective parties
The battle cry Of champions of primary
reform has always been down with the
party bosses and smash the political
rings" This, at any rate, was the
avoYed object of the trainers of the
Nebraska primary election law that COM
pels the nomination Of the candidates of
all parties by direct vote at primaries
under supervision Of the regularly con-
stituted county and city officials under
practically the same regulations and
penalties prescribed by law for general
elections.
Republicans of Omaha and Douglas
county are however, not to be permitted
to make their own individual selections
OF candidates for offices to be filed at
the next November election. That SOW
ereign preFogative has been assumed for
them by the governors OF the Fontanelle
club. Although candidates for Office still
have three weeks within which to file
their names with the county clerk, and,
although not single name has as yet
been filed, the governors have taken upon
themselves the naming of the ticket
which republicans are 10 support at the
election to be held next November.
But why should republicans go to the
trouble OF voting at the primary, since
the governors have kindly relieved them
from the disagreeable and thanhless task
OF marking their ballots or turning the
cranks of the new voting machines 2
Why not let the governors register the
will Of the party as enunciated by them
from the FOntanelle wigwam, deliver the
credentials OF nomination duly signed by
the governors to the respective candi-
dates and certify the nominations to the
county clerk under the great seal of the
renowned chieftain after whom the club
was named2
1t certainly viii be very convenient
and most agreeable for the republican
rank and file to be governed by gov.
ernors instead Of being bullyragged by
ward heelers, or importuned by am
bilious aspirants for office, and It will
be most exalted honor to be a governor
with the governors who exercise all the
functions that deyolve on Pooh Bah in
that popular opera, "The MikadO."

AMONG THE ROCKIES.


Where the solemn Rockies lift
Hoary heads in aspect stern
Through the misty clouds slight rift,
That their faces may upturn
To the Oliver of each gift,
Nature frm, majestic learn.
Where the murmuring water falls
In its merry, boisteTous glee,
From some craggy height that thrills,
In It's hurry to the sea,
While the echo softly calls,
Nature happy is and free.
Where an alpine slope extends
Down from granite boulders bare,
Every color known there blends
Into blossoms sweet and rare
For the path the traveller wends,
Nature gorgeous gay and fair.
Where the slender needle light
Pierces through the pines thick screen
And reflects on surface bright
Crystal set mid emerald green,
Is a peaceful charming sight,
Nature self-posseSsed, serene.
Where the narrow canyons wind
Graced by wondrOus sCulptOr's hand
In the solid rock outlined
Filled with ecstacy, we stand,
Feelings will not be confined.
Nature there Is awful, grand.
Where the mountain SUBMITS leap
Wave on wave of breakers bold,
Far beyond the visions sweep,
Far beyond the mind to hold
Sublime scene at mornings peep,
Natures grandeur, vast, untold.

From the very outset the federal build
ing has been pumping station. and in
spite Of the fact that Uncle sam has ex-
pended fully $4,000 for the protection
Of its foundation the structure has been

of It is that the property owners on
North Sixteenth. who were incensed at
The Bee for telling the truth, have been
losers rather than gamers by the loca-
tion of the federal building, which, in.
stead of increasing traffic and property
values, has caused a depreciation, as

RECIPROCITY ANp rHApE.

The conference which Is TO be held In
! Chicago a couple OF week. hence to dis
cuss the question of commercial reci-
procity win command national interest
and may have a very decided influence
in shaping public sentiment on one Of
the most Important subjects that are OF
immediate concern to this country. The
expansion of our foreign commerce is a
matter OF primary importance to our con-
tinued material progress and prosperity
The great industrial and commercial de-
velopment Of the United States In recent
years has exceeded the requirements Of
the home market, vast as these are, and
IL we are to go on increasing the manu-
featuring output there must be found for
the products of our mills and factories
In excess OF what our own people can
consume markets in foreign lands. This
is so obvious that no one can fail to see
and understand it.
How shall the expansion of foreign
markets be effected? What policy shall
be adopted In order to enable our manu-
goods OF American production in the
worlds markets7 These are the ques-
tions that confront us as a great and
growing Industrial and commercial ma
tion-in these respects now the foremost
nation of the world. We have a home
market that consumes at least nine
tenths OF all that we produce. 1t is mani
festly wise to maintain this great mar
ket But may we not be able TO do that
at the same time that we take meas
ures to increase our markets abroad?
Can we not cultivate foreign trade,
through a judicious policy of reci-
procal commercial agreements, without
any sacrifice to American industries and
American labor? Nothing must be done
that might check or retard our Industrial
progress. Development in this direction
must go on. No obstacle should be put
in the way Of the advance of the United
States to controlling position among
the industrial nations of the world.
Neither must anything be done that
would lower the standard of living Of our
people. The American workingman is
now the best paid and is in all respects
the best off of his class in any other
country. Materially and socially he oc-
cupies a position very much superior to
that Of the workingman Of any part of
Europe. This standard must be main
tanned. 1t Is essential to our national
well being.
These are considerations, vitality i'm
portant, that should enter into discus
sion Of what shall be done to bring us
into closer commercial relations with
other countries and augment our foreign
trade. 1t was very forcibly said by Presi-
dent Mckinley, in his memorable Buffalo
speech, that what I'VE produce beyond
our domestic consumption must have
vent abroad. The excess must be re-
lleved through foreign outlet and we
should sell everywhere we can and buy
wherever the buying will enlarge our
sales and thereby make a greater de-
mand for home labor." 1t appears that
there is a growing recognition. as indi-
Gated in the call for a national reciproc-
ity conference. of the soundness of this
view Of one OF the greatest friends and
champions of American industries and
labor.

Doctors and Their Dues.

FhIIadeIphIa Record.
No class of men are so charitable as the
doctors. The amount of free medical ser
vice they give the poor is incalculable.
When the leading physician in New York
died a few years ago his friends disclosed
the fact that for years he had rendered
to the poor gratultously services worth at
the rate people Of means paid him, $4,000.
A Baltimore physician who died the other
day had destroyed his books that there
might be no effort to collect fees from
his patients who were unable to pay. The
relief Of suffering begets generosity and
stimulates sympathy.

MODEST GOVERNOR DOUGLAS.
Makes a Record by Declining Further
Political Preferences,


Brooklyn Eagle.
Governor Douglas has made a new record
He does not want the presidency and he
turns down a side street early so that he
may not receive an invitation TO walk in
at the White House gate. When he de-
clined the denomination for governor he
told the committee that he thought he
should be reelected II he accepted it. For
that reason he did not want il. He ex-
plained that since he had been governor
many newspaper clippings had reached his
family about him as presidential can
didate. His family very much prefer pri-
vate life and, instead of being fiattered
into acquiescenee, they have taken alarm
and insist that the governor shall become
a private citizen again after his first term.
AS Mr.. Douglas puts it: 80 distasteful is
public life to me and especially to my
family that feel compelled TO do, all pos
sible to discourage it,"
There Is a great deal Of talk about the
burdens and distasteful obligations Of pub
lie life, but most of It comes from men
who are laying wires for reelection. A
man who declines a denomination which
means reelection, with at least a pOsslbil-
ity Of higher honors and with the distinc-
tion that comes TO a presidential possibility
and which is usually not distasteful. is a
new hgure. That. he should do 1t in order
to lead a quiet. domestic life, in the enjoy
ment OF the fortune he has acquired by
hard work. will increase the good opinion
that Governor Douglas has won since his
election. II 10 said that no man declines
the presidency OF the United States and II
Governor Douglas allowed himself to get
within reach Of nomination his resolution
would very likely not be stronger than that
OF others. But he has guarded the privacy
he values before the temptation came to
abandon II. There is nothing to be said
against the man who aspireS TO be presi.
dent, or to hold any other ONCE within
the gift of his fellows That ambition Il
entirely legitimate and oreditable SO Ions
as Il Is pursued IN legitimate ways But Il
Is also very common. With most men the
ambition is 30 strong that the question
sinks into insignihoanoe and victory Is
coveted at any cost. The contrast OF
that feverish anxiety with the choice OF
the simple minded Massachusetts, citizen Il
refreshing. There Is a hint in the choice
also, Of the quality OF the domestic life
for which such sacrifice Is made that In,
