THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

The political situation In Ohio is some
what puzzling. 1t appears that the at
tempt to introduce national questions
into the campaign has not been very sue
cessful, the people mnnifesting no great
interest in them. The engrOssing subject
appears to be the contest between the
liquor and anti-liquof interests. This has
occupied the field TO the exclusion of
other questions and apparently will hold
II to the end, in spite of all efforts TO
direct attention TO other issues.
AS matters now stand. according to
the latest trustworthy advices, no conf
dent prediction can be made as to the
outcome. There seems to be no doubt
that a considerable number Of republic
ans will vote for the democratic candi-
date for governor, while on the other
hand It is thought at least an equal num-
Der Of democrats will vote for the repub-
lican candidate. The tight of the anti
saloon element against Herrick is being
carried on with great vigor and claims
10 have not less than 100000 republican
votes. The liquor element, on the other
hand, is apparently no less earnest in
support OF the republican candidate,
though admittedly it cannot be depended
upon to stand together on election day.
Such is the uncertain and confusing
state OF affairs in the Buckeye state, no
parallel to which has occurred there In
recent years. In the opinion of some the
speech OF Secretary Taft week ago, IN
which he denounced the Cincinnati Cox
machine, was not helpful to the repub-

PRINTING EXTRAVAGANZA

According to a statement of the act.
ing public printer between one and two
million dollars might be saved annually
in the government printing office but in
order to effect this there must be econ
omy on the part of congress in ordering
printing done. Representative Lands of
Indiana has been quoted as saying that
in every department of the government,
as well as in both houses of congress,
there is extravaganza, reckless and
shameful waste in the matter of public
printing. Mr.. lands is the chairman OF
a congressional committee of investiga-
ton which is about to enter upon that
duty and he states that the amount of
material collected and the evidence al
ready in the hands of the committee are
sufficient in volume to amaze any one
conversant with the facts. He declared
that when the condition of affairs is
made public 1t cannot help working a
revolution in the methods and volume of
public printing.
This matter will undoubtedly be urged
upon the attention of congress early in
the session. There is no question that
vast amount of unnecessary printing is
done in the government office. the result
being waste the cost of which cannot
easily be estimated. For this both con-
gress and the departments are respOn-
sible, but chiefly the former. 1t is alto
gether probable that with reasonab Bile
prudence the government could save in
this direction at least two million dollars
year.

BEET SUGAR IN MICHIGAN.

Ipterest in the outcome of the protest
against the present rate of duty imposed
on sugar beets made before the United
States general appraisers in New York by
the Marine Sugar company is not confined
to those whose money has been invested
in factories in Michigan. The question is

Factories sprang up like mushrooms and

pictures were painted for the benefit Of
prospective investors; the farmer was
shown by promoters how he could revel In

cultivating the sugar beet. Heart-to-heart
talks had their effect and vast tracts OF
land were pledged for the purpose. Pros
perity was destined to be short lived, how
ever. Capitalists who saw in the industry
an opportunity for large returns under the
benevolent policy inaugurated by the state
made the Initial mistake OF seeking to re-
cover in the first year the entire amount
OF their investment. The farmers dlscov-
cred that raising beets involved something
more than drilling seeds into the ground
and permitting nature TO do the rest. The
labor required, If =. successful crop was to
be harvested, proved expensive. Further
more, there was the annoyance and added
work which proved distasteful and brought
the project into disfavor. When the re-
turns were figured up the disparity be-
tween the wealth portrayed by the pro-
moters and the amount actually realized
put a crirnp In their ambitions. Gradually
there came a decline in acreage which
threatened the future OF the beet sugar in
dustry and resulted in putting some OF the
plants out of business

President ROOseveIt's Determined
stand for Rate Regulation.



Chicago News
Those ill-advised prophets who have pre-
dicted OF late that President Roosevelt
would recede from his position regarding
railway rate regulation will have to re-
call their prophecies. It was patiently alb
surd that a man of the presidents quail
ties should yield either TO the fancied
needs of political eXigency or to the threat
ened danger of a hard fought battle with
the, senate. In his address delivered at
Raleigh, N. c., he made IL clear
that to yield has not entered his thoughts
There is little in the speech which is not
a repetition of the views he has repeatedly
expressed before, though he states them
this time with even greater vigor. Deny
ing that he sanctions any plan looking TO
public ownership or to- unnecessary inter-
ference with the railway business, he de-
clares his firm conviction that. ut is out
of the question for the government not TO
exercise a supervisory and regulatory right
over the railroads"
II the representatives of the railway In
terests now strongly intrenched in the SEN

not be raised and forced to decisive action

tial features the policy which the presi-
dent advocates in his Raleigh speech fol-

to fix a maximum rate and keep it in effect
unless 1t is reversed by the courts. The
law also must give the commission ample
powers to supervise the practices of the
roads with regard TO rebates and the use
OF terminal facilities. In a word. there
must be "a real and not a sham control"
Evidently there is to be no evasion of the
Issue. There have been limitations that
the railway senator's will face the emer-
gency with some plausible compromise
measure making concessions that are only
apparent That the president is forearmed
against such action is proved by his speech
He would rather see a little additional
power granted but really granted, than
see pretense OF granting all in some shape
that really amounts TO nothing" Public
opinion, working with the president. may
succeed in wringing some real power OF
railway regulation from the reluctant sem

TIE EJECT ON TIE sonrn.


President Roosevelt has completed
bis southern tour. What has been its
effect upon the people OF that section?
SO far as can be judged from the ex-
pressions Of the leading newspapers it
has been altogether salutary. There
has been, so far as we have observed.
nothing but commentator for the
speeches Of the president. His tributes
to the confederate soldiers have natur-
ally pleased the people. His assurances
Of confidence in southern loyalty have
been gratifying. His advice to the peo-
pie in regard to the duties and obliga-
lions Of citizenship has been recognized
as that Of a sincere friend. The south
has a better opinion and a greater es-
TEEN OF Theodore Roosevelt than be-
fore he made his trip to that section
and this better judgment of him will
grow.
The tendency Of this will be to
strengthen the republican party in the
south. One of the republican leaders
in North Carolina is quoted as saying
that the president has made great in
roads on the democratic party in the
south and that many are enthusiastic
ally for him. IF the president wins as
much democratic support in other states
as he did in North Carolina" this repub-
lican is quoted as saying, "he will be
able to turn it to better account than
If he had stayed at home for an extra
session Of congress. The sel1shness
Of republican officeholders has blocked
party success in North Carolina, but
now that Roosevelts visit has split the
democratic opposition there will be a
new alignment" What Is true of that
state may apply to some others in the
south. Not all Of the democrats of that
section are incapable of approaching in
what direction its best interests lie or
beyond the influence OF the logic of
events. Some of them must certainly
realize what benefits the south has de-
rived from republican policies and
policies. There must also be some who
are convinced that nothing is to be
gained by maintaining an opposition to
the republican party largely, if not alto
gether, on sectional grounds. This has
been done so long with utter futility
that the mistake and folly of it ought to
be apparent.
President Roosevelt's southern trip
has undoubtedly contributed TO a better
understanding, TO more friendly feel
ing, between the people of the north and
south. Both know the absolute impair
TALLY of his sentiments and equally be-
lieve in his broad patriotism. They
know that he is prompted by nc, per-
sonal ambition, but solely by desire to
promote the harmony, the interests and
the welfare of his country. Mr. Roose-
velts visit to the south has been Of
great interest and will doubtless prove
most beneficial not only to that section,
but to the entire country

IMPORTANCE or TIRE COUNTY BOARD
The taxpaying citizens Of Omaha and
Douglas county must make themselves
realize more fully the Importance to
them of 'the county board. The county
board is the moving source and respon-
sible authority in the management of
all branches of county business 1t is
more than mere administrative body
to o. X. bills and spend money, al
though the amount of money at its dis
posal for current expenses is in itself
sufficiently great to require the services
Of men of good ability and strict in
tegrity.
The county board not only spends
the money but imposes the taxes. Under
the new revenue law it is the Board Of
Review for both city and county, and
in that capacity equalizes and fixes the
valuations upon which our property is
to be subjected to the tax gatherer. II
the members of the county board had
no other function whatever than to
NCllAg anu lut lbA ItNuIIS uluut
by the county assessor, the responsible
ties resting upon its members would be
as great as those Of any of our public
officers.
The county board has the final de-
cision in all matters relating to the
county's bonded debt and the funding
and refunding of its maturing bonds.
We have had some pretty shady
transactions, and not so very long ago,
in the conversion Of Douglas county
indebtedness through intermediary
bond brokers. Whether the county
board handles the debt honestly and
shrewdly. or dishonesty and care
lessly, makes a difference of thousands
of dollars, not only to the present tax
payers, but to all who are to come after
them.
The prospects are good that Douglas
county will take steps within the next
year or two to erect a new county
building. Such an improvement would
necessarily involve the expenditure of
upwards of a million dollars, and every
thing connected with the construction
of new building will devo1ve upon the
county board. To put through such a
big undertaking will require the serv-
ices of men of more than ordinary ca
pacity.
The people of Douglas county are
about to choose two new members Of
the county board-members who will in
all probability WELD the preponderating
influence in that body for the next three
years. 1t will mean dollars and cents
and lots of them to every taxpayer to
see that the right men are elected. No
candidates for these positions of such
high reputation and special fitness have
ever been presented to the voters as in
! the republican candidates this year-W
G. IRE and e. G.. Solomon. Under the
new law, too, the county commissioners
are to be voted for all over the county
instead of as formerly in the district
only in which they are required to live.
II will behoove every voter TO protect
the interests of the county and of the
taxpayers by registering his vote for
/ both of these candidates.
