The Bee has been urging republic
ans throughout Nebraska to voice their
preference for United States senator
by instructions upon the delegations
selected to represent them in the state
convention to be held at Lincoln.
Notwithstanding the demand for popu-
lar choice. there are without question
certain influences at work, in the inter
ests OF candidates who fear to trust
the people, to prevent convention nom
ination altogether, and, falling in that,
to prevail on the legislature to ignore
the nomination and assume to elect a
senator by barter and trade under
manipulation Of the discredited cor
poration lobby.
To make the nomination in state
convention effective it behooves re-
publicans in the various counties to
speak out plainly on these points.
While no particular form of resolution
is necessary so long as it expresses the
purpose, the resolutiC n adopted in
Madison county is a good model for
such action. This resolution reads:
Resolved, That the republicans of Madi-
son county cordially approve the action Of
the state committee in including in its call
the nomination of a candidate for United
States senator, and we specially instruct
and pledge the delegation OF Madison
county in the state convention 20 oppose
at every stage all attempts to dispense with
the nomination Of a candidate for United
States senator and every proposition to
change the order Of nomination as pro-
vlded in the call.
Resolved. THAT the candidates for the
legislature from this district be and are
hereby instructed TO support the candidate
for United States senator nominated by the
state convention.
The adoption of this resolution in
every republican county and Legislative
district convention would soon settle
the question as to whether the conven-
ton will nominate a candidate for
| United States senator as provided in
the call, and also the question whether
members of the legislature would rec
ognize the nomination as binding upon
them when they come to vote for SEN
ator next winter.

NATIONAL GUARD In CAMP.
Benefits of the Annual Outing for
Citizen Soldiers.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.


Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The opening Of the division encampment
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania on
the Gettysburg battlefield yesterday marked
the most important incident in the annual
routine of the education and training of
the citizen soldiery. The drill in the home
armories is essential for the building up Of
the company and regimental units. With
out 1t the officers and men would be unfit
for the work in the field which they will
be called upon to do this week. but the
camp experience is worth all the rest com
bined in its practical results.
Aside from the Individual benefit of life
in the open and of the lessons of endur-
ance and self-reliance which the men gain
i'm camp. the opportunities for exercises
nearly approaching the actual experiences
of serious service are of incalculable i'm
portance to officers and privates alike. The
former especially have practice in directing
the maneuvers Of large bodies of troops
which the command of regiments alone
could never give them. and without which
the militia as an organized military body
would be almost useless.
The United States government has recog-
nized the great importance of annual en-
campments OF large bodies of troops, and
has followed the lead of military bodies
of several of the states in arranging that
the various commands of the army shall
spend a portion of each year under can
vas. Brigade camps are to be established
on sites sufficiently large to permit of mill
tary movements on a broad scale. The
camp at Mount Gretna, toward which vari-
GUS bodies of federal troops are now on the
march from different army posts-where
the soldiers are housed in barrscks-is a
step in this direction. When provision +
made for these encampments as a perms-
nent annual institution, and the arrange
ments are completed TO insure the contact
of regulars and militia during at least a
part of the time. the results cannot fail to
be beneficial to both branches of the coun-
trys military service.
While the citizen soldiery naturally gel
all the fun possible out of the unwonted
| life in camp, and do all they can to make
of 1t lark" they do a great deal Of seri-
Gus work and fully earn the pittance which
the state pays them for this service. The
money lie we'll applied and the only pity Is
that for the sake OF the men individually
and of the National Guard a whole. the
period OF the encampment could not be
| heightened.

Making streets Attractive.

There is a movement on foot in many
German cities to stimulate interest In
such decoration of houses. Prizes are
given for the finest effects obtained with
flowers so displayed and much is expected
in the way of frightening and adjoining
streets. Even in American cities, where
trees, shrubbery and flowers are common
in full view Of the street in residence dis
tricts, much might be done to make bust
ness thoroughfares more attractive by the
use Of flowers in windows. There are some
striking object lessons of that kind In

ent with the highest degree of business

and the identifying of cities. Japan has

and courage.

SAN FRANCISCO INSURANCE MIDDLE

SAN FRANCISCO INSURANCE MIDDLE.
The declarations made on behalf Of
many of the insurance companies i'm
mediately after the San Francisco dis
aster, that they would pay losses on
a generous basis without insisting on
technical refinements to delay or re-
duce settlements, have not been made
good. While some companies stood
ready to meet the hopes thus raised,
others have adopted the contrary pol
icy. II is conceded that certain weak
companies could not pay in full, but II
is charged that many of the strong
companies who could have settled have
refused on false plea that they were
prevented either by lack of resources
or by the opposition of stockholders.
So far as the financial situation of
the companies is concerned, which is
agreed to be the real underlying cause
of the muddle, II is plausibly urged
that the fault is with the insurers.
Detailed statements are made showing
that In many cases they have enjoyed
enormous earnings for a long time
ample II properly conserved to provide
for the extraordinary losses on ac-
count of great fires In cities-in short
that the rates collected from the In
sured included that we'll known risk
But the companies in too many in
stances, instead of holding this fund
as a trust for that purpose, have
treated It as profit TO be divided
among shareholders whose dividends
have been excessive.
II such be the fact 1t would be an
Unquestionable duty TO assess the
stockholders, II the reserve is insufn
cient, because the money never wa:
theirs by right, but always belonged
to the insured. But the equity of TIKI

losers one whit In the situation II
which they find themselves. The!

collect their insurance, however grea
the fault of the insurers may be.

FIRST InstitutiOn OF Its Glass In the
United states.


Philadelphia Press
France, Germany, England, Russia and
Japan all had well-eauipped and endowed
institutions for research in medicine be-
fore John ID. Rockefeller's contributions
furnished the first plant devoted to re-
search in the interest of health the one
indispensable foundation in human hsppi-
ness.
The wealth Of the United States is very
nearly equal TO that Of any two Of these
countries. or even the last three combined.
II is certainly twice that OF Great Britain.
according to the best and most trust
worthy estimate But in spite of this,
up to the present time-the Rockefeller
Institute founded five years ago was only
opened in May-this country remained
without this primary necessity in civili-
cation. Such resources as were devoted
to medicine have been given to the edu-
cation Of physicians with research as in
cidental.
While our physicians are as able as
doctors anywhere, the time OF the sue
cessful among them has gone TO the earn
ing Of incomes, which make the returns
OF the medical man in Berlin or Paris
look petty. Research some of them prac-
ticed in the intervals Of their profess
sional work: here and there a discovery
was made. But IL has been a lamentable
fact during the past generation that the
greater discoveries of medicine have not
come from this country.
1t is significant that the head of the
Rockefeller Institute for Research in
Medicine, DR.. Simon F1exner, once a Phila-
delphian, like most of the Psychologists in
this country, comes of the Hebrew race
which, instead Of a wide impression to the
contrary. has furnished an unusual num-
Der Of those who have put aside pecuniary
rewards in the service of science and the
higher learning. Fortunately, If the
United States was late in the field the
Rockefeller Institute begins with an un-
exampled equipment for its work. With
catholic liberality, a Japanese. DR.. No
guchi, is conspicuous on its stan. and 1t
numbers those of the first or second gen.
Grafton from the streams of immigration
into this country, mingled with those
whose ancestry dates back before the
revolution.
Its work in general medical research In
New York is fortunately supplemented
and paralleled, as was pointed out at the
opening of the Rockefeller Institute, by
the special research in this city of the
Phipps Institute in tuberculosis.

Apparently the Duma would institute a
boycott of the government by having the
people withhold money for appropriations
and men for the army. Not kopec, not
a conscript," is the text of its address to
the Russian people Whether this pro-
gram is practicable remains to be seen.
The Russians have been for so long ac-
customed to taxation without representa-
ton that its continuance may not appear
startling. 1t may seem to them simply
the old order, the interruption of which
was of too short duration to make any
impression II the parliamentary regime
had been longer the Dumas advice would
be stronger. Carried into operation 1t
would precipitate a crisis. The nation
would be divided into two camps and hos
tilities, civil war, would be unavoidable.
The situation has not developed to a point
that affords indication of the temper of
the Russian masses. Meanwhile It is we'll
not to forget that the Russians are not
Anglo-Saxons in their thought any more
than in their civic 'eonstitution. Too many
American and English Commentators are
blaming the Russians for not acting as
Americans and Engishmen would act in

BUILDING ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

BUILDING ASSOCIATION PROGRESS.
No more auspicious showing has
been recently made than that of the
progress Of the local building and loan
associations at the annual meeting of
their national convention, since II re-
fleets not only the general prosperous
condition of wage-earners, with whom
the associations are largely concerned,
but also the increasing tendency among
them to become home-builders and
home owners. The aggregate Of assests,
S629,344,257, which is an increase of
almost 5 per cent over the preceding
years aggregate, now owned by the
,642,127 members of the 1894 build
ing and loan associations, signifies at
once the vast magnitude of the opera
tions of these institutions and the wide
diffusion of their benefits among the
people.
Such facts are reassuring, especially
in contrast with many signs Of the
inevitable tendency to waste and ex-
travagance in flush times. for they
demonstrate that serious thought for
the future, together with practice of
the virtues of self-denial and a provi-
dent frugality, is an efficient factor
among people of small salaries and
earnings. Nor has the great field thus
occupied by the BODYBUILDING associa-
ton as beneficent investment oppor-
tunity for wage learners been gained at
the expense of the savings bank or the
legitimate life insurance company,
since their reports, so far as they bear
upon the class represented by the
building and loan associations, show
corresponding growth. The members
who have become home-builders
through the agency of these associa-
tions become by force of the very in
fiuences which operate through them
also patrons of the savings banks and
of the concerns that provide for the
contingency of death.
Building association progress is even
far greater than is shown on the face
of these totals. in that the character
of the business for stability and correct
methods is being steadily improved. A
system has been developed in which
most of the risks of loss, overreaching
and graft, which not many years age
seriously affected their usefulness In
numerous instances, are now removed
as the result of better laws and bust
ness administration. 1t is noteworthy
that the leagued associations OF the
country are on their own motion de-
vising further improvements and legis
lative requirements all aimed to en-
nance the security and profit of the
individual member and home-builder

COLONEL BRrANs ooMPLErEp PLANs

COLONEL BRYANS COMPLETED PLANS.
1t would seem from the numerous
published directions issued by himself
that Colonel Bryans plans for his
own Homecoming reception should
now be about complete. His latest
plans and specifications thoughtfully
provide in minutest detail for the ma
terial matter of raising funds to defray
the expenses of the ovation which has
been elaborated with such labor, under
the tedious difficulty to the agents in
immediate charge. These agents have
recognized the necessity OF transmit
ting across the ocean all program
schemes for Mr.. Bryan's explicit ap-
prevail before any announcement could
be ventured. There will be those who
will regard even the Embarrassing
scheme itself as more carefully de-
signed as a document for publication
than as a money producer and as a
part of the monumental self-arranged
demonstration.
AS thus prearranged the occasion
must be unique, for it is certainly the
first time in history in which a presi
dental candidate has acted under such
circumstances in the dual capacity of
guest and host. The method, however,
is not without certain disadvantages.
There is always the possibility Of
blunders, and a responsible committee
comes handy to blame. But evidently
Colonel Bryan's arrangements contem-
plate nothing but glory.

ROOSEVELT IN THE CAMPAIGN

ROOSEVELT IN THE CAMPAIGN
The. announcement that President
Roosevelt will not make any political
speeches this fall is not unexpected,
but 1t is far from indicating lack of
interest in the success of his party or
even that he will not in other ways
have any important part in the cam
paign. On the contrary, he has given
evidence of deep concern for a success
full outcome. The general plan of cam
paign has just been adopted in con-
ference between him and the party
managers at his Oyster Bay home, and
has received his public approval. That
his influence will be exerted to carry
out that plan in every way In which he
may with due observance of the pro-
prieties goes without saying, although
he may not take the stump. @
The presidents interest in having a
party majority in congress that .will
support his policies during the remain
ing two years of his term must, under
the circumstances, be one of the most
potent factors in the contest. That in
terest arises out of the very character
of the conditions, and the president
may be reasonably expected to con-
tinue to emphasize it by suitable and
effective means as the campaign pro-
crosses. Anything less would not be
like Theodore Roosevelt, especially
when the broad issue which the repub.
licsn party presents is endorsement OF
his record and continuance along the
same lines under his leadership.
