ROOSEVELT THE ISSUE.

Secretary Taft's notable speech in
Maine pushes into paramount place
the issue whether In the coming con-
gressional election President Roosevelt
is to be Endorsed and given vote of
confidence or repudiated and crippled
in the work he has in hand. 1t is pre-
cisely the point which the president
himself has centered his efforts to
raise in the mind OF the people in the
present political contest, and which
indeed is involved in the very nature
of things. sag
With the opposition leadership al
ready bestirring itself with unwonted
eagerness for the national struggle
two years hence, a democratic major
ity In congress would inevitably put
forth its supreme efforts in partisan
obstruction and to discredit the admin
istration. 1t has never failed at the
corresponding juneture to do so, and
1t never was under such great tempta-
ton as it will be during the term of
the next congress. Already the air is
being filled with insinuation and belit-
Element OF the Roosevelt policy and
record, and 1t would be in the power
of a democratic congress by partisan
investigations and hostile tactics
gravely to interrupt. If not wholly to
paralyze. the work in which the ad-
ministratiOn has been and is so loyalty
and successfully engaged.
The only possible chance OF such an
outcome lies in the overconfdence and
negligence OF the voters, who at heart
overwhelmingly approve the leader
ship of Theodore Roosevelt and want
1t to go on unhampered. or An their
failure to appreciate the practical con-
sequences of democratic victory. Even
serious reduction of the republican
majority would stimulate EFFORT to en-
barrass the administrator and 10

mHY 40 To LINCoLNl

The information comes from Lin
coin that Governor Mickey has re-
Quested an opinion from Attorney
General Brown as to whether the
Board of Fire and Police Commission
ers for the city of South Omaha has
authority to revoke license to sell
liquor in that city for law violation
without previous conviction in court,
and whether, also, 1t has authority to
refuse to reissue a license for another
year, basing the refusal on failure to
obey the law during the preceding
year
The question suggests itself to every
thoughtful citizen, Why should the
people of South Omaha have to go to
Lincoln to and out how to issue or re-
woke liquor licenses, or for directions
on any other matter of purely local
enforcement? This is the inevita-
Bile consequence of having a governor
appointed fire and police board, which
means the transfer of the administra-
ton of those departments of municipal
government from South Omaha to Lin
coin. The same situation exists, Also
with reference to the Omaha Board OF
Fire and Police Commissioners, which
| looks to the government at Lincoln as
its fountain-head rather than the peo-
pie Of Omaha, who are the only ones
directly concerned.
No more striking object lesson In
favor of municipal home rule could
have been presented than the appeal
to Lincoln for instruction as to the
management of police and excise al
fairs in South Omaha.

BRYAN AND RAILROAD NArIoNALizA-

Whatever may be thought of nation
aiization Of railroad property as a po-
litical issue OF current interest. espe-
clally in the complicated form of ma
tional ownership of trunk lines and
state ownership of branch and local
lines, MIR. Bryan is not open to the
angry criticism, now being urged from
hostile quarters in his own party, that
he stealthily waited before proposing 1t
till after his party had been virtually
committed to his denomination. thus
taking advantage to foist upon it an
individual vagary which otherwise
would have prevented him from reach
ing his present dominance.
On the contrary, Mr.. Bryan told the
literal truth when, referring to the
storm of democratic protest raised by
his New York deliverance, he de-
clared: 81 advocated government own
ership of railroads two years ago."
Early in 1905, in a carefully prepared
speech before the Iroquois club at
Chicago, he proposed the scheme in
substantially the same form as in the
recent New York speeches and the
series of uttsrances that has followed
it. The Iroquois club speech was widely
published at the time, and its points as
to government ownership were reiter-
ated in Mr.. Bryan's personal organ,
the Commoner.
1t is true that the proposition ma
turally did not attract so much atten-
ton then as 1t does now. but it was
quite extensively commented on and
controverted, and at all events it was
known to the public, and there is no
excuse for pretending now that II was
not known. Mr.. Bryan, therefore. has
not thimbled-rigged his party, nor in
weighed 1t into buying "a pig in a
poke" but throughout has been open
and above board. ,.
The simple fact appears to be that
a powerful democratic element, hereto
fore hostile to the Nebraska leader
imagined that the time had arrived
when they could use him as candi-
date and that in consideration Of their
support he would be eager to pose
now as conservative" and sane and
safe" and during the. last three OF
four months they we're busy arranging
the stage scenery for that purpose. II
should have been warning enough
when> the chief actor in response de-
clared himself "even more radical thar
in 1885," but It took the paramount
pronunciamento in favor of the mixed
national and state ownership scheme
conclusively to bring them to theil
senses and to reveal to them Mr.. Bryan
still in his original role. In fairness
they should blame themselves, no
him, for the preposterous denouement

DEMocRAcYs KEYNOTE.

sition.
St. Ionis Globe-Democrat: The money

to be another name for a big republican
majority in the electoral college.
Minneapolis Journal: Strange that Mr..
Bryan should come home and repudiate

ministration is buying silver. william

Philadelphia Record: The campaign which
resulted In the election of William Henry
Harrison ippecanoe and Tyler too
lasted thirteen months. and so far Is the
longest presidential campaign on record.
But Mr.. Bryan has commenced his cam
paign more than twenty-six months before
the date when he is TO be elected presi-
dent
Buffalo Express: Bryan had sounded
public opinion on the idea Of a combined
federal and state ownership OF railrads in
an interview given out while he was in
Europe. Apparently he judged from the
fact that no serious criticism was made of
It that II would prove popular. He is
evidently disappointed and chagrined, now
that he has definitely committed himself
to the proposition. to find how greatly he
has startled and amazed the conservative
men Of his party whom he is not anxious
to placate. Nothing cuts a serious man like
ridicule, and the realization that he has
brought ridicule upon himself evidently
has stung Bryan deeply. A greater contrast
could hardly be imagined than that be-
tween the triumphant. self-satisfied speech
following his enthusiastic reception in New
York and the bitter. defiant words flung out
at the meeting in the rooms of the Demo-
cratic club on Saturday night. 1t was a
strange ending to a political chapter which
was begun with so much joyous good will
and harmony.

Void In Newspaper World.
Omaha. Iahor Advocata


The entire community was startled
Friday morning by the announcement
that Hon. Edward Rosewater was
found dead In his ONCE in the
Bee building. On every hand were heard
expressions OF the keenest regret, even
those who had been his sworn enemies
for years instantly feeling the loss sus-
tanned by Omaha and the west. Time only
can demonstrate the void In the newspaper
world and in politics that Mr.. Rosewater's
death will create. but this much II GER
tain-that the working class have lost one
OF their best and most powerful friends
In this country. Himself of the proletariat,
his heart has ever been thoroughly In SYM
pathy with the class from which he sprung.
Being in thorough sympathy with the aims
of organized labor, he was ever ready with
his pen and voice to aid the labor move
ment In particular will his loss be felt
by the printers, with whom he has been
on such intimate terms for many years.
To the employees OF The Bee his loss will
seem more like that Of a father than a
boss" for he was ever ready to listen TO
a just grievance. and many a petty intus-
tice practioed by some one lesser In
authority had ben righted by the old
man."

Spelling 1T ALL.

And now comes Judge Edgar How
ard and spoils 1t all.
The veracious judge assures US that
the Wild West tales about Mayor
"Jim's" stunts in New York are every
one of them fanciful fiction OF lurid

Quoted himself with decorum" all
during the trip, doing nothing OF
which a citizen of Omaha would not
approve. The only consolation which
Judge Howard leaves us out OF all the
air castles is the corroborated testl-
mony that he did lasso Mr.. Bryan,
although this exhibition was given
merely for the amusement of his own
friends and was not witnessed by
others"
This public proclamation by Judge
Howard may be in the interest OF the
truth of history, but it is surely hu-
initiating and disappointing to the
friends Of Mayor Jim" at home. III
makes us all feel as II we had gotten
something by false pretenses in the
unearned and undeserved advertising
lavished on the honored chief execu-
tive of our city. What is the use OF
having a cowboy mayor If he cannot
ride down Broadway on broncho with
rope hanging from the pommel OF his
saddle and six-shooters sticking out OF
both hip pockets?
We had been led to believe that
Mayor Jim" would bring back as
trophies of his expedition a few bulls
and bears lassoed on Wall street, and
at least a couple of Tammany tiger
kittens to install as ornaments along
with the giasticutuses overhanging the
city hall. 1t seems that he will bring
back only silk tile and frock coat

The prime object, of this railroad law

accord the small shipper the same privileges
and immunties as the large shipper.
Equity and Justice and a recognition of
the rights of others is the basic principle
OF all rate legislation. The moral OBJ
legation of all to obey the law to the letter
is unquestonable. Such a course will con-
serve the interests of the railroads vastly

PROSECUTION OF CRIMINAL TRUSTEES.
The arrest on criminal charges or
officers of the wrecked Philadelphia
trust company and of persons who got
hold of its funds through illegitimate
schemes should be merely the begin
ming of vigorous prosecution that will
land them in prison. The care of trust
funds, whether in the keeping of banks
or insurance and like companies, must
be made equally safe and sacred
against the robbery or criminal negli-
gence of officers within and of others
outside.
There seems to be no question in
the Nipple case in Philadelphia, as in
the Stensland case in Chicago. that
vast sums of depositors' money were
distracted through criminal conspir-
acy. Such treason is one of the high
est crimes under the law, as 1t should
be, and now is the time to make ex-
amples in these notable cases. The
public will welcome and applaud the
visiting of condign vengeance upon the
offenders, not merely because 1t is
just. but also because the lesson IL
needed.
1t is utterly impossible as society
and business are organized to avoid
these trust relations, and they are be.
coming more extensive and vital every
day. 1t is therefore absolutely neces
sary to protect the dependence of the
many upon the comparatively few
trusted agents and to make the terrort
of the law real and unacceptable.
