why This DISCRIMINATORY


During the closing hours Of the Ep-
worth League assembly at LINCOLN. last
week, a resolution was passed condempins
EdwIfd Rosewaters candidacy for United
States senator because the league deems
him to be an enemy Of temperance.
N Mr.. Rosewater could have had the
choice OF an endorsement or condemnation
Of the league, there Is no doubt but he
would have preferred them TO do Just what
they did do, II they were disposed to med
die at ALL
II is unfortunate, but nevertheless true,
that the direct influence OF the churches
in politics lie very meager. The influence
OF churches for the general uplift of the
community is beyond our power to esti-
mate but It is an indirect iniuence-work-
ing in the hearts OF men-guiding their
acts in all dlrectons-politics included
But when the church as an organiEa ton
attempts to interfere In politics II makes
a great mistake, because Il u never soildly
united and harmonious. while the other
fellows get together Immediately.
Now. the league was not ingenious
enough to offer anything even limiting al
an idea II would have been Just as sensi-
bic to have said that II was opposed to
any sort of a sinner for United States sen.
ator. As Mr.. Rosewater Is not a drunk
ard. he certainly is not opposed to tenn
perance. What the league meant was
that Mr. Rosewater is opposed to prohibit
ton. In that respect is he different from
any other candidate who aspires to the
honor OF being senator7

PEN VERSUS TYPEWRITER.
objection TO the Use of the Latter in
Social Correspondence.

SHlCdkO NnrOnlCle.
Most of the denunciation of the type-
writer as foe to social correspondence
comes from people who do their typewriting
at SECOND hand or by proxy; that is, from
people who dictate their letters instead of
typewriting them personally.
The man who Municipalities the machine
in proper person knows that It can turn
out just as hearty and cordial letters as
ever flowed from the point OF a pen. The
objection TO the typewriter letter is finicky
and unfounded.
Admit that the typewriter is a mechapl-
cal device-what is a steel pen but a. me
chanical device7 The personal flavor of a
letter is not In its physical appearance but
in the sentiments which II expresses.
1t is said, of course, that there is indi-
viduality In caligraphic writing and none
in typewriting. That much may he ad-
mitted and 1t constitutes the only sound
objection to the machine. But the type
writer has 20 many points Of advantage
that they easily Offset the single senti-
mental objection.
A typewriter letter can always be read
which is more than can be said of a large
proportion of pen written epistles It is
written easily and tfiuently IL the writer
enjoys any familiarity with the machine.
scrswled over many, sheets OF blotted and
blurred manuscript 1t is not a dreaded
task TO indite a letter upon a typewriter
machine nor is it an ordeal for the recipient
to decipher II,
Like great many other matters OF a
sentimental kind. the prejudice against the
writing machine as the medium for social
letters is a matter of habit rather than
reason.
Gummed envelopes were for a long time
condemned by people who insisted upon
using sealing wax. Other people continued
using flint and steel after sulphur matches
were invented. So II is with those who de-
mand that all friendly correspondence must
laboriously be ground out" with pen and
ink when It could be comfortably transacted
with the rapid and ready machine. 1t is
habit.
People will eventually outgrow it. In
the meantime anybody who has enjoyed
the freedom and facility of writing with
the type machine will never go back TO the
eramped and irlssome slavery Of the pen.

North and south.

NOT1Olk news NTep.D
Years ago, when the country north of
the Platte river was not recognized as on
the political map OF the state. the South
Platte made a practice OF selecting can
didates for all the fat places that were
within the gift of the people, but of re-
cent years they have kindly allowed this
section to be known in the state house.
During this campaign. however, old-time
tactics seem to have been adopted by the
South Platte in the United States sena-
torial contest and while II is conceded
that the position this year rightly belongs
to the north, yet the South Platte poll
ticians propose to tell us whom we shall
select The boomers for Norris Brown
have been making great ado over the num-
Der of counties instructed for him, but
when an analysisSis made Of his strength
II Is found that not one single county
north of the Platte river, except his home
county OF Buffalo, has pledged him vote.
Owing, to a fortunate twist OF the Platte
river. which places Kearney> actually north
of the dividing boundary, while II Is In
reality in the south central part Of the
state, Brown is able to claim the North
Platte" district as his home. and yet from
his very location all his interests must
necessarily remain in the country with
which he is most familiar, and which is
now trying to name him as our senator.
Two years ago the South Platte country
indicated that 1t wanted z. ]. Burkett for
senator, and this choice was cheerfully ac-
quiesced in by the people of the north,
who turned in with a win and helped elect
him. It would now seem as though the
people of the northern part of the state
should have the privilege OF saying whom
we want to represent US without dictation
from the southern part OF the state.
II the Platte river is to remain the d.
viding line OF the state, as the people OF
the south have made II from the time Ne
braska was/a state, then concede TO the
North Platte the privilege of naming its
candidate when It is our turn. Don't pick
out a man for us and by a practically
united vote of the southern counties, aided
by one or two northern ones which may
be inveigled into yielding support. set him
up as our candidate Let the north have
something to say in naming the man, and
let the South Platte keep hands on until
we have announced whom we want. And
from the lack OF instructions given for
him in northern counties. II is evident that
Norris Brown is not North Nebraska s
choice.

RATE LAW CONFERENCE.
Tramc omcials and Commissioners
.. Exchange Ideas.

Pc EXCHANGE ioe1o-
Chicago Record Herald.
Railway traffie offieials have been con-
ferriug, with the. Interstate Commerce COM
missioners with reference to the construc-
ton of various provisions of the new rail-
road law. which goes into effect on the
August 2s. The railroads are understood
to have submitted various requests to the
commissioners as to matters with their
discretion. and the latter themselves have
suggested that carriers appoint a represen-
tative committee "for further conference
with the commission from time to time
with the view of cooperation and In aid
OF uniformity of method and praStlee."
Among the requests made by the car
riers are these; That they be allowed at
least thirty days additional for the prepa-
ration and publication OF rate schedules:
that the laws provision regarding the
posting of the schedules at the stations
and offices be so interpreted by the COM
mission as to allow the carriers to put
copies in the hands and custody OF the
station agents and post notices informing
the public that such schedules are open to
inspection by anyone desiring to consult
them, and that the requirement OF thirty
days notice OF any change In rates be
modified so as to permit changes In export
and import rates on such short notice as
may be necessary to meet the competition
OF foreign carriers.
OF course. the commission cannot modify
the law where it's language lie explicit and
unqualified. II should be noted, however.
that the act itself gives the commission
authority to make even the most imnor-
tant OF the changes sought by the car
rlers.
Thus as regards the thirty days notice
OF new rates, the act says: Provided
that the commission may in its discretion
and for good cause shown. allow changes
upon less than the notice herein specified ="
With reference TO posting and publication
the law likewise says that the commission
may modify the requirements OF the sec
ton covering those points "either In par
ticular instances or by a general order
applicable to special or peculiar circum-
stances or conditions"
The commissioners who are now con-
ferring with the carriers representatives
cannot make any OF the concessions de-
sired. The whole commission will be re-
organized by the addition OF new members
when the new law takes effect. and all
action must be postponed until then. The
present discussion Is preliminary. and may
lead to certain recommendations on the
part OF the reappointed commissioners.
For every change good cause" will doubt
less have 10 be shown, In conformity with
the spirit and letter Of The act

TIPPING THEIR HAND.

Our amiable democratic contem-
porary, the World-Herald, declares
that 1t cannot agree with those dem
ocrats who would have the party re-
fuse to endorse the constitutional
amendment creating a state railway
commission" This is intimation thai
formidable element among the dem
ocrats is opposed to the endorsement
of the constitutional amendment. and
such opposition can spring only from
desire to prevent ratification of the
amendment at the polls.
Every one knows that the principal
opposition to the railway commission
in general and the amendment in par
ticular when 1t was pending before
the legislature came from the railroad
lobby, and the conclusion is inevitable,
in view of the long felt and wide
spread demand for such Legislation,
that the inspiration of those who
would defeat it's ratification comes
from the same source. Even the DEM
ocratic World-Herald. while pretend
ing to favor endorsement of the
amendment in convention. is at the
same time doing it's utmost to dis
credit the amendment proposition
with the public by questioning its va
lidity. Indeed. IL 1t believed its\ posi-
ton well taken on the question of In
validity its present plea for endorse
ment in the convention would be vain
and foolish by taking the step that
could lead to no result.
There is no question but that the
railroads would like to beat the
amendment IL they could but feel II
incumbent upon them to work
through subterfuge. The efforts tc
prevail on the democratic to block rati
fication by denying the amendment the
benefit of the straight party votes tips
the hand of the railroad bunch work
ing inside the party quite early In
the game. 1t would be quite like the
democratic double-dealers to promul
gate their nominations for railroad
commissioner and at the same time
make a farce of the nominations by
trying their best to see to 1t that nc
railway commission is created OF
which their nominees might act, II by
accident they should be elected.

CURRENCY FOR WESTERN CROP.

CURRENCY FOR WESTERN CROPS.
Statements of a large number OF
representative bankers in the grain
growing states west of the Mississippi
river printed in a leading eastern
financial newspaper agree substantially
as to the unusual local resources for
moving the crops to market this fall.
Not one of these western bank presi-
dents dissents from the view that New
York will be called on for far less
funds this year than ever before, rela-
lively to the total amount of money
used. and not a few are of the opinion
that the local banks unaided will be
able to supply all demands on crop
account. The latter. however, are prin-
cipally outside of the distinctively
small grain belt. and in the old settled
parts Of the corn belt. where the banks
OF course have greater Accommodations
and the crop moves more gradually to
market, a great portion Of II being
firat fed to live stock.
These statements. however, evidently
refer to western borrowing in New
York for crop use. and not to reduc-
ton of western balances carried there.
There has already been considerable
withdrawal of such balances and the
process will certainly be extensive, The
