MERIT IN rHE PosroFFIcE.

President Roosevelt could win in his
fight to take the postoffices out OF
politics if he were not engaged in
bigger work just now that makes II
necessary for him to continue on
amicable terms with congress. While
his order to reappoint all postmasters
who have made a clean record is
eternally right, and will be the law
some day, it is now being modified to
meet the exigencies of politics. The
members of congress have SO long
looked upon these places as theirs by
right that they will not give way to
the nav order without making nasty
disturbances Having all the trouble
on his hands that the most strenuous
man in the world could manage at
once, the president naturally gives the
matter a subsidiary place on his llst
of reforms for the present.
The change in fact Is one that
ought to come up from the peo-
pie and not down from the Of
fee Of the chief executive. DO the
people want their postmasters re-
tanned on merit alone, or do they want
them changed without regard TO eifici-
cheney every time new congressman
is elected in the district and every
time "a new administration is installed
in Washington? Ii we are 70 nave
the postofiice department reach the
full limit of its effectiveness, II is time
to think of these things.

When railroad managers weep over
the ruin that is bound to follow the
regulation of their business by the pub
lic the people will be excused If they
look over past records and laugh be-
hind their palms over the things they
find. For example, when Jay Gould,
the Hartman of the railroad world Of
the last generation, visited Lincoln
twenty years ago today, he was asked
concerning the state of the transporta-
ton business generally His answer is
from the columns of The Journal of
that date.
"Thc railroad business is good was
the answer, "but the Interstate COM

CHEER THE GOOD PLAY.

General Lee drew himself up III MS
saddle and closed his field glasses at
the battle of Gettysburg as he watched
the broken fragments of Pickett $
division break into shapeless rout pc
fore the stone wall on Cemetery illl,
with this exclamation: 'Well, gentle
men. we cannot always win victories.
The commander Of the university or
Nebraska debating squads mlghl ana
consolation in General Lees philosophy
this spring. After an un0foken series
of victories, hard fought and closely
won it seems their turn to take de-
feat. They ought to do 1T with smli-
ing face but more firmly fortified
hearts. In all the imitation battles OF
the present day whose object is the
nerving of mind and muscle for the
real conflicts of life the true principle
is that the prize is not presented to
the winner of first place but to all
who participate There is a special
stimulus to the praise which goes with
highest honors but the real victory is
the social victory which all enjoy.
There is a need of deeper philosophy
of defeat in life A few years ago the
university of Nebraska football team
was winning every game. Its enthusi-
asts were heart broken and comfort
less when it began to lose. And yet
whatever OF discipline and desirability
there is In football has survived the
defeats of the unfortunate seasons.
If the game is we'll and honestly
played and disciplined for II has done
its duty. IF the debating squads and
football teams of one university should
win every contest how much of inter-

These observations have an applica-
ton to the opening of the baseball sea-
son in Lincoln. Every loyal Lincoln
fan fondly hopes that the team may
win first place. But, after all, 1T Is not
necessary that Lincoln should win all
the time in order to enjoy the game
and support it with enthusiasm. The
tail ender in the baseball circuit is just
as essential to the sport as the PEN
nant winner. And if the tail ender last
year should win this year can we not
all rejoice? So stand UP for the home

court Cases like the present are very
likely 10 arise, no doubt, when there is
q jury. and the publication may af-
feet their Judgment. Judges, gener-
ally. perhaps are less apprehensive
that publication impugning their own

But if court regards. as it may, a
publication concerning matter of
law pending before it as tending to-
ward such an interference, it may
punish it as in the instance put.
When case is finished, courts are
subject to the same criticism as other
people, but the propriety and necessity
of preventing interference with the

ment, argument or intimidation hardly
can be denied.
In the complications of the Patterson

laration by Justice Holmes has been
overlooked. Instead of feeling blue

may console themselves with the

The constitutional convention OF

Of passing finally upon the document
that has been submitted during the
recess to a committee for editing and
revision Ii the work is found salts
factory and no new propositions are
successfully submitted by delegates
the constitution will be signed and
submitted to popular vote on August
g. AS it stands it is the longest con-
stitution in the country, and for that
reason the convention may decide not
to give it any further bulk. 1t con-
tains about 100000 words, against
5000 in the constitution of the United
States. The extra length is caused, or
course, by the Introduction of a. large
amount of matter that in other states
is inserted in the statutes.
A curious experience of this conven-
tion, is that it has been enjoined
by the Oklahoma supreme court, ana
must do part of it's work over again
or disobey the injunction. 1nasmuch
as the convention comes directly from
the people, and it's work must be
submitted to the voters of the entire
state for their approval, the members
are inclined to believe that this reach
ing out of the temporary government
of the territory to influence the organic
law of the new state is somewhat out
of place and that the order of the
court can be evaded with impunlty.

and hold sale whereby the applicant
can buy 1t at once. Where an applI-
cant has used his land rights, or does
not care to file on the land as a home
stead and SO tie himself down foe a

tracts are we'll worth acquiring in this
manner. The state sells the land on
such easy terms that it may be cheap

begins in the good old way. Three
bands are united and march around
the ring to spirited air. Elephants
