POLITICAL DRIFT.

The unanimity of republican senators on
the rate bill separates the opposition from
luscious campaign material. The parting
causes much pain.

Bet,rsen Rosewater and brown.

Beatrice Express Nrcp.)
The ambition of Edward Rosewater for
the senatorship has long been known and
recent events have led many to believe
that he is stronger in the state than any
Omaha man who could be selected.
Should the people OF the state select
Rosewater at the coming convention they
will decide upon a man who has been fear
less in his opinions and acts and who will
not likely be trimmer in the affairs at
Washington. He has made many warm
friends and many warm enemies. He con-
tended radically for things in the past
which brought down upon him many walls
Of wrath. but 1t must be acknowledged now
that he was more often right than wrong;
that the things he contended for have the
popular approval now.
1t is perhaps significant that there is a
friendship between Norris Brown and Rose
water which extends TO many of their sup
porters. 1t requires no strong stretch OF
Imagination TO see the state convention
choosing between Brown and Rosewater
with the ticket made strong in either
choice.

Looks Rosy for "ROsy."

Tekamah journal UepD
Douglas county republicans will be put
to the necessity Of making a choice for
United States senator. 1t will be the field
there against Edward Rosewater. There
are Senator Willard, John L. Webster, C.
w. Wattles and C. e. Green to unite forces
against The Bee man. No one Of them can
muster sufficient strength to beat Mr.. Rose
water in the primaries. Their Several
bands OF supporters are so ineoherent that
they will not unite solidly on any one can
didate. Under the circumstances il looks
as though Douglas county were certain OF
giving its delegation TO Mr.. Rosewater.
Coming north from Douglas county we be-
lieve every county along the line will send
Rosewater delegations. In fact, matters
senatorial begin 10 assume a rather rosy
appearance for Rosy Of Omaha.

Motives of statesmanship.
Pittsburs Dispatch.

1t Is interesting TO hear that several SEN
ators explain that they approve OF that
amendment OF LaFollettes. which wa
defeated the other day, but voted against
IL because they hated to let La Toilette
have the credit Of IL. This EFFORT OF logic
gives us a new view OF the motives of
statesmanship The people might enjoy the
dement's OF proper legislation II a popular
senator would propose the amendment
but II an odious disturber makes the mo-
ton the public must go unrelieved. II
certainly would be worth while for these
profound givers OF legislation TO secure for
the country a little show by getting ahead
OF the hated radical and proposing the good
amendments themselves.

MORE FAcroRIEs WANTED.

One OF Omaha's most pressing needs
right now is for more factories and
mills. II Omaha is to be a city of
$4,000 to 100000 people by the next
census it will not only have to gather
in all the population that is included
within the proper limits OF Greater
Omaha, but II viii also have TO draw
from the outside a large number of
new recruits. Nothing would so slim
ulate the incoming of working men
and women-of the families that con-
stitute the going assets of big city
as the establishment of new industrial
enterprises, furnishing employment
for wage-earners in addition to en-
ployment already offered to those now
here.
There are a great many things which
could be profitably manufactured in
Omaha which are not now made here.
Any process for working up into fin
ished product the raw materials from
the farm, field and ranch or the con-
version of the byproducts OF the big
packing houses or the smelling works
should have an easy foothold here
| Omaha's distributing facilities are not
sxcelled by any other city between the
lakes and the Pacific coast and the
demand for home consumption OF most
articles of current use is steadily grow
ing with the growth of population in
this and adjacent states.
The Commercial club is already do
ing something in the direction of at
tracing new manufacturing institu
tons, but with the time so propitioui
more vigorous efforts should be cen
tered along this line. If Omaha cal
add to It's Industrial plant a dozeI
mills and factories. big and little, thi
year is will take big step toward thu
200 900 population mark for 1910.

THE CALEB POWERS CASE.

The remanding OF Caleb Powers back
to the state authorities for a fourth
trial for the assassination of Governor
Goebel gives Kentucky another oppor-
tunity to do long delayed justice, and
there are some hopeful signs that the
opportunity may not be neglected.
That Powers never had had a fair trial
is now generally admitted, even in
Kentucky. The action of the supreme
court Of the state by successfully set
ting aside the three convictions already
secured is virtually an officfal admis-
sion of the fact. Well known cir
eumstances outside of the Official
record demonstrate a most fragrant
case of unfairness and denial OF JUS
tice. Some of the ablest lawyers in
the country have exhaustively studied
the whole matter, and without eXcep-
ton they agree that it would be an
outrage to hang a dog on the evidence
on which Powers has been convicted
II is not altogether unprecedented
that the courts should fail in the ex.
traordinary circumstances in which
this case originated. A state of civil
war practically existed in which the
community was divided in mortal en-
nifty. Fairness from one side or the
other was perhaps an impossibility fol-
the time. But after years have passed
and the fierce passions of the strife
in which Goebel lost his life have
cooled, it ought to be possible now tt
have fair ascertainment of the trutl
even in the local courts. At all event
the federal courts have put the re
sponsibility squarely upon Kentucky.

As to Railroad Influences.


1t is nonsense to say the railroads are
promoting the candidacy Of Norris Brown
or any other candidate mentioned. but it
is not as absurd and improbable as that
they are promoting or will promote the can
didacy of Mr.. Rosewater, nor any more
ridiculous than that they are engaged in
the contest at all. That kind of talk is all
buncombe angling for suckers, an effort to
play upon the pretudices Of the ignorant
and is an insult to the good sense and hon
esty Of the republican voters Of the state
Norris Brown is just as much a railroad
tool as Sepator Willard or John L. Webster
and has been far more complRcent toward
them than MIR. Rosewater. He has never
foolishly antagonized any interest of the
state. The chief political spokesman Of the
state told us not a month since that Norris
Brown is good friend Of his and he did
not think any mistake would be made in
electing him to the senate. Do you sup
pose there is railroad man in Nebraska
who would say that OF Edward Rosewater?

Insurance Not Interstate Commerce.
gnrinRdeld RAnublican

once more and with considerable EN-
phasis does the United States supreme
court afirm the opinion that insurance Is
not interstate commerce. and is therefore
beyond federal control and under the ex-
elusive control OF the states. IN the pres
ent case which comes up from Kentucky.
the court says in about so many words
that the right of any insurance company
TO enter any state. and remain in business
there after being admitted. is dependent
upon the will Of the state authority. This
ought TO end the nOvS-~sut soT federal
supervision.
