petition BY profession MIR Bryan is a
democrat Of the Jeffersonian school,
holding as the chief tenet to the min
imum OF state interference with the
individual, but his public career has
been conspicuous advocacy OF extreme
interference, and latterly with mani
festations Of sympathy for various pop
ular socialist proposals.
All that aggressive socialists ask or
could desire would be to have indi-
vidualists yield "the point at which
competition is possible" as the success
sive proposals for naturalization are
presented. Theoretical indivldualists
who sympathize and go with the social
lists on these proposals would be called
by the latter practical socialists. and
would probably command their approval.
Mr.. Bryan's article leaves the practi-
cal phase indeterminate and while it
shows traces Of the idealism of his mag
nation 1t can hardly be taken, in the
light of his political acts and words, as
indicating the direction in which his feet
will hencefOrth move.

DEPARTMENTAL REFORM

President ROOsevelt's address to the
members of the Keep commission, a
body Of the ablest experts in govern
ment employ, which has been engaged
for a year in investigating departmental
organization and operations, touches the
vital part. What he is driving at is to
raise the efficiency of the public service,
and the tidings which have been COM
ing from the commission are more to
the point that much is wrong than to
the point how to set IL right.
It did not need the formal findings
Of any commission to apprise the public
Of the ineficiency. the waste. the red
tape, the confusion and the prOcrasti-
nation with which the departments
often carry on business. But the reports
OF the commission have freshly empha-
sized the abuses and sharpened the
presidents eagerness To correct them.
AS the investigating experts have gone
from department TO department, from
bureau to bureau, through the almost
infinite subdivisions of the government
service. they have found Implications of
machinery, conflicting jurisdictions, ex-
travagances. distractions, and obsolete
forms, which excite wonder that the
public work can 20 ON as well as il does
But to remove these things is so diff.
ferent a matter from finding them as
seriously to test the patience OF so posi-
tive and energetic a man as the presi
dent. Yet the commission is not TO be
blamed because it cannot prescribe as
rapidly as il can diagnose nor does the
! president blame IT, Many abuses have
been already corrected and economies
/ effected upon its recommendation, 50
far as executive orders can do the work
The evil, now grown TO giant pro
| portions. is an Outgrowth of the growth
OF our government machine. An ener
getic chief executive or official can dc
much, but i'm addition to the abuses anC

Sandwiched in among other passages
of the recent statement made public by
Lieutenant Governor McGilton in ex-
PLANTATION Of his withdrawal from the
gubernatorial contest, is this declara-
ton:
1t is fact well recognized by lawyers
that courts decide cases largely on the
facts before them and that nice definitions
and hair splitting constructions of statutes
and constitutions are frequently INDUCED
in I'm order to Mt the facts of the case
being decided.
The significance of the passage quoted
was doubtless either overlooked by
those who read it or was accepted as a
matter Of course. calling for no further
comment. If some newspaper critic of
the courts had made this arraignment
of them. however. it would in all prob
ability be subjected at once to Il coun-
tercharge of seeking to destroy popu-
lar confidence in judicial authority.
The essence of the statement quoted
is that our courts make it a practice
to decide which party to n law suit
ought to win on the facts presented in
the case and then deliberately under
take to square the statutes and consti-
ton with their purposes by mere hair
splitting constructions. If that We're
always the case, statutes and constitu-
tions would count for nothing and the
litigant would win or lose, as he might
appeal to the sympathy or prejudice Of
the judges, or impress them that his de-
mand was more worthy of considera-
ton than that of his opponent
We would not want to believe that this
is the regular practice of our courts, but
that there has been altogether too great
tendency toward hair splitting cOnstruc-
ton is not TO be controverted, still fur
ther evidence being found in the fact
that these opportunist precedents come
back invariably later to plague the court
when some other case arises that calls
again for the common sense construc-
ton. The courts should and must
realize that the estimation In which
! they are held by the public and the
alacrity with which the people submit
to their decision depends largely on
| the reputation they establish for them
selves for laying down the law as II
is as against hair splitting constructions
| and twisted legal definitions

Mr.. GOMPERS' NEW PARTY.

The privilege inheres in any two or
more citizens to form a political party,
and Mr.. GOmpers and any number Of
others who agree with him, are under
no limitations. save those of Judgment,
as to new party organization. But they
may well pause before attempting to
build new party OH the basis stated in
the memorial of grievances presented
the other day to President Roosevelt.
The radical grounds taken by them
with respect to the judicial power of in
junction, to the denial of any exception
to the eight-hour rule, to Chinese labor
and other questions, would be hopeless
for effective appeal to the American peo-
pie. President Roosevelt's broader view
but not less friendly purpose toward
labor represent more nearly the Amer
lean judgment, which would coordinate
labor with all other great interests of
the people. On this safe and wholesome
line legislation which has gone to such
lengths in behalf of labor has mainly
proceeded, and in all human proba-
bility will continue to proceed in the
future.
Scores Of political parties have been
formed in this country or effort has been
made to form them, but their efficiency
has been i'm very direct relation to
breadth of outlook. To narrow 1t to
one idea is either TO doom the party TO
impotency or to make it potent for mis-
chief, most especially usually for the
very special interest which the design
Is to promote. Such party organization
carries to the mind of the average citi-
zen suspicion Of Impotence, selfishness
or rashness, and tends TO provoke resist
ance rather than TO invite cooperation,
thus often sacrificing valuable results
which might by wiser methods be Sc
cured
Back of Mr.. Gompers' threat of "A
separate labor party movement is the
assumption that the mass of the people
under existing party divisions are hos
tile or indifferent TO labOr's demands.
Nothing could in fact be further from
the truth, as the statute books teeming
with legislation, especially that enacted
the last decade or two, bearing directly
or indirectly in favor OF labor so signally
/ testify.

The order requiring all cancellations
Of homestead entries to be forthwith
marked on the maps and available for
public inspection at the proper local
land Office will be very important in its
effects i'm western Nebraska. where
large amount Of land is affected by such
cancellations.
Such land is practically restored to the
public domain. although technically GER
tain rights of contest remain against
the land departments action. AS a mat
ter of fact thousands OF the homestead
entries and titles I'm the western counties
have been cancelled by the general land
commissioner on evidences of fraud and
under other circumstances which render
it morally certain the alleged home
steader or his assignee. with knowledge
of the facts will never appear to con-
test with bona fide homesteaders now
taking up the same lands.
The abundant rainfall and prosperous
conditions which have existed for a
series Of years in these western Ne
braska counties have tended powerfully
to direct thither the attention Of those
in other parts who are all the time in
quiring for low-priced land. while the
widely advertised fact that the land de-
partment has already vacated great
numbers of fraudulent homestead en-
tries aud will vacate more will cause a
rush of homeseekers there this spring.
The process of settling up the western
counties, hitherto largely given over to
the big cattle herds. is certain, under
the cancellations for fraud and the rule
facilitating information, to go rapidly
forward this year, and to help fix the
final development of that section.

SULTAN AKD JEROME.

There is no necessary conflict between

Ivan and Prosecuting Attorney Jerome

life insurance companies to party cam
paign funds. Mr.. Jerome, after thor
oughly studying the facts, advises the
grand jury that indictment for larceny
or other crime is not warranted. be-
cause there is no evidence of felonious
intent. Judge Sullivan advises that it
is for the grand jury to determine
whether felonious intent could he estab-
lished by proof on trial.
Mr.. Jerome advises as the prosecuting
officer. Judge Sullivan advises i'm the
altogether different capacity of judi

same opinion as Mr.. Jerome. but feel
that his duty as judge prevents him
from expressing it to the grand jury, as
1t was the plain duty of the prosecuting
attorney, when asked, TO express his
opinion as to sufficiency of the evil

There is not a ghost of question that
If the evidence supported in the mind
