Smallest Republic in World Enters
Democratic Regime
CITIZENS ARE ONCE MORE IN CONTROL
oLIGARCHIC SYSTEM HAS BEEN
CHANGED BY AGITATION OF
THE PEOPLE.

SAN MARINO, March zS.-The small
Apennine republic of San Marino. the
oldest and the smallest in the world,
and scorcely known outside its from
tier, except to stamp collectors, has
just re-entered upon a democratic re-
gime. The arringe, as the original
representative body of the republic is
called, has once more met and the citf-
zens of San Marine, numbering in all
about 100 families, have once more
been restored to their civic rights. I'm
der the original constitution Of San
Marine the government of the republic
consisted of a general assembly of
heads of families, the so-called arringo.
and a grand council of sixty composed
OF twenty mobiles, twenty citizens and
twenty landowners. Gradually. how
more of an oligarchy and the arringo
ulticately became a mere name, while
the council of sixty, elected for life,
and itself electing members to fill any
vacancies caused by death, was practi-
cally absolute This was the state of
things when Addison visited San Ma
rino two centuries ago and this has
heen the condition until the present
day. During the last few years, how
ever there was so strong a popular
agitation against this oligarchic sys-
tenn that, to prevent revolution, the
arringo was revived. 1t is now in ses-
sion and there is peace and happiness
throughout the reborn republic.

SEES RACE WAR PERIL.
Appeals to Federal Authorities Not to
Prosecute Lynchers of Negro.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2S-
On the ground that there is danger of
a grave race war, Chattanooga has ap-
pealed to the president and attorney
lynchers Of the negro Johnson, who
was hanged by mob few hours af-
ter the supreme court of the United
States had granted a stay Of execution
of the death sentence passed by the
state court.
Many kilograms signed by prominent
and conservative citizens attest that
the local authorities are competent to
deal with the situation and that inter-
ferance by federal, officials will lead to
a serious race disturbance, but the JUS
tees decline to agree to leave the mat
ter Of the punishment of the local Of
ficials and members of the mob to the
local authorities.
The program already mapped out is
said to be to arrest Sheriff Shipp, who
had the negro in custody at the time
he was lynched, and possibly other To-
cal officials and members of the mob,
If possible, on a charge of contempt of
the supreme court.
There are about $4,000 negroes in
and around Chattanooga, and it is
feared that when any Of the officials
concerned in the case or members of
the mob that outraged law and order
are arrested by the federal authorities
a majority of the negroes will mis-
construe the action Of the government
and as a result a race war of grave
proportions will be the inevitable re-

GETS FRANCHISES BACK,
PhladeIphia's Reform Movemen,
Scores Most Notable Victory,

PHILADELPHIA, March 2S-Po-
litical reform in Philadelphia achieved
it's most notable single victory yester-
day. The famous midnight traction
franchise steal of 1901 was virtually
unlone. The Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit company, the backbone of the Wild
ener-Elkins traction clique, whose in
terests extend into many states, agreed
to dosgorge the stolen franchises and
to pay the city 100000.
Competition, which the traction mo-
nopoly never would permia, is almost
assured, and incidentally the Wabash
railroad probably will gain its long
sought entrance into Phi hdelphia.
Moreover, the city will regain. fran
chises worth millions Of dollars.
Accomplished by Weaver.
All this was accomplished by Mayor
Weaver who saw a chance to club
the rapid transit company and used it.
All that is necessary to bind the bar
gain is ratification by the city councils
and by the traction stockholders.
which, it is expected, will meet with no
opposition in either quarter.
Mayor Weaver's opening lay in the
fact that the traction company, which

DOG A SUICIDE.
Leaps Into Sea as Body Of Child Is
Consigned to Ocean Grave.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Among
those on the steamship Columbia in
yesterday from Glasgow, after a severe
voyage, were Andrew Mcdonald and
his wife Mary. Their four-year- old
daughter Mary died on the voyage and
was buried at sea. The father, a
Highlander, was bringing his girl to
this country for the benefit of the sea
voyage. Mary insisted that her two
collie dogs. Daisy and Ben, be brought
with them. and this was done.
Mary, who had been ill for some
time, died from seasickness Wednesday
morning. and both the animals SEEM
ed to know that something had hap
pened. Later it was decided to bury
the little body. 1t was brought out on
deck by two of the seamen, and while
ships officers stood bareheaded, 1t
slid over the ships rail- Because of
the child's love for Daisy and Ben, the
two dogs had been brought upon the
deck while the body was being COM
mitted to the sea.
AS the child's body was lifted to the
rail and slid overheard, Daisy broke
from the man who held her and leaped
oberboard after the body Of her little
playmate. The last seen of the faith
full collie she was swimming about
over the spot where little Mary's body
had gone to its last resting place.

for the existence Of directors than thus

special trust on the part Of depositors.
And the hopeful aspect Of this signal
act of acknowledgment OF paramount

WANTED A CLEAN TICKET.

The advice given by the late Ed
ward Rosewater to the republican state
convention that in completing their
ticket they should nominate only clean
men-men for whom no apologies
would be needed-applies with equal
force to the republicans of Douglas
county in nominating their legislative
and county tickets at today's pri-
maries.
Under the new primary law there is
no bar whatever to any one who feels
so inclined to have his name filed as a
candidate for nomination. In taking
advantage of this license lot of graft
ers, corporation cappers and disrepu-
tables have had their names placed
upon the oficial ballot. If any of
them should by chance happen to be
nominated they would surely be de-
feated at the polls, because the people
of Douglas county are not in the mood
to go into the apologizing business.
Fortunately, only one of these spot
ted candidates seems to have even a
modicum of backing that calls for con-
centrated effort to ward him of.
Chronic Candidate Andersen is receiv-
ing his reward for subserviency to the
railroad bosses in having the railroad
political agents rally to his rescue and
1t behooves the republicans who want
winning ticket to make sure that he
is kept of of II.
Only with ticket made up Of clean
men who can command the undivided
allegiance of all the local republican
elements, will reasonable assurance
of success be had.

DEMOCRATIC DfLEMMA IN VIEW FORK.

DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA IN VIEW YORK.
The democratic situation in New
York, whose vital relation to the poll
tics Of 1908 IL we'll understood, has
been much clarified by the action of
the state convention OF the Independ-
ence League. which Is a tool largely
shaped by William Randolph Hearst
for his purposes, and which he de-
signed to force the democratic conven-
ton to nominate him for governor.
But the league convention took itself
seriously. and while placing Hearst at
the head of its ticket, nominated, in
spite OF him. a full state ticket also.
thus narrowing his opportunity for a
traficking fusion with the regular
democracy. The result, therefore, is
practically narrowed to q regular dem
ocratic candidate against Hearst, or, II
by any possibility he should be able to
manipulate the regular nomination by
an alliance with Tammany. Public
Prosecutor Jerome will stand as an in
dependent democratic candidate,
either result hopelessly splitting the
opposition to the republicans and rem
dcring Hearst's success in the contest
an utter impossibility.
But the complications with respect
to Mr.. Bryan or, more broadly. with
the democratic outlook. are far more
serious. With a regular democratic
nominee other than Hearst. his po-
tency and. temptation for mischief In
the future will be multiplied. and the
Nebraska statesman, II he should ven
ture within the Empire state at all,
would necessarily be thrown into an
tagonism to the yellow journal cham
pion, while he would have to MORALLY
offend a powerful democratic element
II the latter should by hook or crook
seize the regular nomination. The
dilemma is becoming so apparent that
both factions are beginning to ac-
knowledge 1t, while the republicans
build themselves mansions on Easy
street.
The most serious phase. however,
bears against the rehabilitation of the
ancient scheme of union of the Solid
South and New York for 1908.

Remarkable Career.

His death marks the end Of a remark
able career. Coming to Omaha In 1871. at
the age of 80 years. he became founder
and editor OF The Omaha Bee. and immedi-
atcIy began his work for Omaha and Me-
braska, and this work did not cease until
death claimed the worker. Everything that
led to the upbuilding and advancement Of
his home city and state found hearty sup
port in Edward Rosewater, while anything
that he considered detrimental to their
development received his bitterest censure.
His power and influence cannot be meas
ured and will continue to have their effect
upon the affairs of the state long after
the body OF Edward Rosewatcr has been
laid to rest for its long sleep

QUICK GOLD RsrSroRcE sEsr.

The gold import movement facili-
tated by the Treasury, making
20,000,oo0 available at New York
during the week ending last Saturday,
has been much more rapid than when
the system was first inaugurated to
meet the emergency caused by San
Francisco losses. From its beginning
on April IL to its end on May 5 a
total of $46,300,000 was imported un-
der the privilege of securing treasury

AS the average period of transit be-

directly into the subtreasury. is only
two weeks, the government would
within that time after the last opera

coup the full amount OF its advances.
Thus there would still be not less than

A prTY OF DEMOCRATS.

The decent democrats of Omaha owe
duty to the public in today's pri-
maries to see to 1t that the motor
ious Jim" Connolly is not allowed to
satisfy his ambition to be put in the
way OF getting place on the Water
board. Connolly served once as a
member of the county board and he
went out of Office unhonored and un-
mourned. While there, he earned the
reputation of being a cheap CRATER
and should he connect with another
official position he may only be ex-
pected to pursue the same disreputable
practices by which he disgraced the
county board.
The Bee does not consider itself the
guardian of the democrats of Omaha.
The warning against Connolly should
have been given by the World-Herald
as the democratic organ. but in his
eager desire to promote his own politi-
cal interests as a candidate for con-
gress the editor of that paper does not
seem to care what kind of associates
are put on the ticket with him. This
is matter, however, which concerns
all our citizens. regardless of politics.
The Water board is not now perform
ing any very important duty. but it
has a 100000 suit to defend, and
In the event that Omaha should &C
quire the water works plant 1t would
have a vast financial interest to pro-
tect for the taxpayers. The two men,
bers elected this fall will be commits
stoned for six years, and no one can
tell what may not happen before that
time expires.
Realizing that under the peculiar
provisions of the charter we must have
a democrat as one Of the two mem
bers to be chosen, we are at least en-
titled to a reputable and honest demo-
crat.

a series of boulevards for the capital
city under pretense of connecting the
state farm, the state insane asylum
and the state penitentiary with the
city streets by paved roadways. Doug

at it's own expense. but under this
philanthropic proposition is to be per-
