has followed @. w. Wattles, SO that only
Norris Brown OF KearneY remains. SEN
ator Willard seems to pursue his candi-
dacy merely for the honor, and John L.
Webster has small prospect, inasmueh as
many Of his friends are abandoning their
efforts. The Fontanelle club. too, has
been making proposals, which indicate the
turn OF public sentiment, and emphasize
Rosewater as the coming man. That club
has asked his campaign committee to give
II half of the delegation and to let the
candidate control the delegation for sen&-
tor who gets the largest vote at the re-
publican primary. That is nothing less
than a confession that the Fonta neles are
not IN a position to obstruct the choice
OF Mr.. Rosewater. Inasmuch as their
active membership has shrunk to about
seventy-hve since the voters repudlated
their machine tactics, II is easily seen
that they cannot do much damage TO Mr..
Rosewater The organization OF Mr. Rose
waters supporters is going on systemat-
ically and with good results from all parts
OF the state. From all parts OF the state
come reports OF a genuine sentiment in
his favor. People who observe such
events do not doubt that the nomination
will fall TO the one man in Nebraska who
has for years courageously opposed all
trusts and privileged combinations. His
intrinsic worth and unimpeaehable reputa-
ton will bring ham success unless great
sums OF money should be spent to defeat
him

4 SENSIBLE DECISION.

County Clerk Haverly is to be COM
mended upon his announced decision
that he will so arrange the ballot under
the primary law that, in selecting dele
gates to state and congressional con-
ventions, voters will have a chance to
register their preference either for
delegates singly or in groups CORE
spending to the respective delegations.
AS a matter of fact. this is the only
practical way of conducting the pri-
mary election without DISTINGUISHING
a majority of the voters and is strictly
in accord with the letter of the law and
with the intent of the Lawmakers,
which was to facilitate rather than
obstruct the free expression of the
voters.
To require each person casting a
ballot in the impending primaries to
make 201 cross marks to express his
choice for S3 delegates to the
state convention and lis to the con-,
gressional convention would impose a
physical impossibility, and the law
never contemplates impossibilities. 1t
is easily conceivable that there might
have been a judicial convention this
year with another 100 delegates to be
selected, in which event the ballot as
arranged by County Clerk Haverly
could be marked with three crosses
as against 800 that would be required
under the contention of the mischief
makers.
Mr.. Haverlys decision is, moreover,
perfectly fair to all in that IL
gives all individuals or groups of
individuals the same privilege of
associating themselves in delegations
to. be voted for by one cross
mark, If they 30 desire. The spirit of
fairness manifested by County Clerk
Haverly in standing up for square
deal in this matter will be heartily en-
dorsed by every republican who wants
to see the republican party maintain its
ascendency,

Let's Give Thanks for This.


1t has been stated by such authorities
as Kelvin, Newcomb and Ball that the
future of the suns activity will be COM
paratively short-not more than 100000
years-and some have even suggested that
the suns activity already shows signs of
waning. So far lie this from being the
case that only one-fourth Of our supply
OF energy has been expended, and three
fourths are yet in store for the future
life of the planetary system. This opens
up to our contemplation a decidedly re-
freshing view of the future. and will
give renewed hope to all who believe
that the end Of mundane progress is not
yet in sight. Not only should the future
possibilities Of scientific progress be vastly
extended, but there will in all probability
be the most ample time for the further
development of the races of beings inhabit-
ing this planet. According to this view
the evolution of our earth is still in its
infancy, with the zenith of its splendor
far in the future. >''

AMERIoANS IN MEXICO.

The riot at Cananea, Mexico, appears
to have sprung originally out of labor
trouble. although complicated and ag-
gravated by feeling between Americans
and Medcans. The earliest reports
we're overdrawn both as to loss of prop
erty and the general situation, and hot
headed people in the neighborhood of
the frontier became excited. But the
authorities quickly took control of az
fairs, and there is no reason to antici-
pate that the relations of close friend
ship between the two governments will
be- impaired or any default follow in
the enforcement of all International
obligations.
Incidents OF an unpleasant character
are to be expected where such extern
sive masses OF American population
and capital are domiciled in an ad-
jacent foreign country so different as
Mexico in language, customs and race,
no matter how intelligent and amicable
the policy of the two governments may
be. Very much depends upon the good
sense and address of the Americans.
II is especially incumbent upon them
as aliens to be diplomatic in their atti-
tude and dealings with the natives. for
after all the security and success OF our
enormous investments in that country
depend in large part upon popular feel
ing.
1t is safe TO predict that the present
strong government OF Mexico will deal
summarily and effeetually with the
agitators and ring leaders who have
raised mob violence against life and
property and will enforce order with
an iron hand, but Its disposition only
emphasizes the duty of American So
journers 10 keep on good terms.

WANTED, A NEW MORALITY.
Worship of Material Things n Menace
TO the Nation.
Chicago Tribune

Chicago Tribune.
Contemporary developments I'm the
United States show that the most urgent
need of this country is new morality.
There is no need of4new principles. The
precepts Of the Christian religion. which
most of the worst sinners profess to be-
lieve in, cannot be improved upon. But
morality is condition of heart and mode
of life, not a profession. Measured by this
standard many American business men
have been and are being proved to be ruth
less savases.
Sympathy. according to the accepted
philosophical theory. is one of the main
roots from which the moral sense OF CIV
ilized man has grown. The moral sense
began to be developed when the untutored
cave dweller was frst kept from injuring
others by keen consciousness OF the pain
which a similar injury would cause him
self Certain American captains Of in
dustry' and high insneiers" would seem
TO lack even a rudimentary moral sense
for no thought Of the mental anguish and
physical suffering they were innicting on
thousands has restrained them from crush
ing competitors by the most lawless and
cruel methods or from pitilessly robbing
the poor and widows and orphans of funds
placed in their hands in trust.
Another OF the chief roots from which
the moral sense is considered to have
grown is the fear OF our cave dwelling
ancestors that IL they injured others they
would be visited with the stern disappro-
baton of their fellow tribesmen They
learned to consider wrong what they knew
others would treat as wrong The public
opinion which so powerfully Influenced
the savage may seem to have been par
TALLY imperative in the United States.
But the public as well as the high fnan-
ciers. has been at fault There has been
more worship OF material success than is
consistent with good morals. Attending
rather TO the size OF mems fortunes than TO
the way they were acquired and used the
people have encouraged rather than re-
strained the growth of the belief that might
makes right in high finance, whatever may
be the correct principle in low finance
President Hadley OF Yale some time ago
proposed social ostracism a remedy for
the evils Of trusts. Hts suggestion has
not been treated with deserved seriousness.
Ostracism I'm the widest sense-ostracism
which would not only send the possessors
OF stolen wealth 20 prison but would make
OF all ill-gotten wealth a social gibbet
instead of pedestsl-would produce a great
moral awakening among the opponents OF
high finance. But the moral awakening
must start with the public. When public

UNIFORM MUNTCTpAL ACCOUNTS.


Over in Iowa the authorities are
getting ready to put into operation a
new law providing for the uniform &C
counts in all the different municipali-
ties Of the state. The law, which is to
go into effect July 1, provides for a
commission to formulate a uniform
system of account for all cities having
more than 5000 population, and an
nual inspection by a state auditor
through similar annual statements
from the accounting Office of each city.
The plan of accounting, when agreed
upon by the commission, will become
compulsory upon these cities beginning
with April 1 of next year.
This is surely a distinct step in ad-
vance toward reform of municipal gov
eminent. Several organizations, not
ably the National League of Ameri-
can Municipalities and the American
Economic association. have been work
ing upon uniform accounting for
municipalities and achieving some
Roadway, and this forward step in
Iowa is the outgrowth of this agita-
ton.
The plan is, doubtless, more FEAST
BILE in Iowa than in most other states,
for the reason that Iowa has so many
cities of approximately uniform size
and no city of overshadowing proper
tons. The advantage will accrue in
giving the basis for comparison as be-
tween different municipalities and en-
abling one to profit by the experience
of the other.
1t will be advisable for our Nebraska
lawmakers when they meet in their
next legislative session to look care
fully into the Iowa law with a view to
adopting or adapting 1t for our own
state.
