PANICS AND SLUM'PS.

Why should this country be subject
to par1ics and slurnps In business, par
,ticularly just prior to presidential
election We have numerous colleges
turning out what profess to be highly
educated men and women who are
supposed to- know something when
discharged as educated. Some Of the
men become so-called statesmen;
others become stock brokers in the
markets OF Boston, New York and
Chicago. To what use are they put
ting their education? Are they using
1t for any other purpose than the lin
ing of their individual pockets, regard
less Of the needs Of others? Don't
they owe debt to the general public
that has, by taxation, supported the
institutions OF this country? It ap-
pears i'm possible for the highly edu
Gated Ornaments Of society to be of
any use to anyone, even to themselves
The pursuit OF pleasure and vice is
the we'll known characteristic Of the
idle rich in Our large cities. Worthy
business men and women know that
this condition exists and still they are
doing nothing to rectify It. WHY are
they so careless Of such things, Is
it personal interest nearer their own
purse that prevents their coming out
into the open and taking stand for
the relief of the present bonded cur
rer1cy system? Is It because they are
ir1tinidated BY the powers" in con-
troll Of the government? we would
advise the business man who feels
the pinch OF the panic and the ur1-
settled state Of business and does not
like it, to be closer student 81 the
political game. THE spectacle IS pres
ented 81 a'United States congress
Composed Of men who have been elect
Sd as Representatives to advance the
interests Of their constituents and
good government sitting idly by while
Speaker Cannon cracks the whip that
makes them Jump up: and grovel at
his feet, anxious to do hts bidding,
no matter whether they believe it right
or wrong. Then we cry and beg for
relief and elect the same dummies
again. What a farce! Elect. man
who stands for some principle regard
less of the party political whip. We
have the interesting scene Of a Re-
publican president : being double
crossed by a Republican house of
representatives, and receiving his only
support for his measures from the
Democratic members. A free and in
dependent country, run by the people
for the people! What an imagination
q man has got to have to believe
such thing!-Oklahoma Labor Unit.

OUR ELECTRIC APPLIANCES,

What is the matter with our city's
electrical appliances any how? Ev-
cry so often some employee is killed,
and it is usually one who is thoroughly
familiar with the dangers and eccen-
tricties of the electric current. It
would be we'll for the authorities to
look into this matter. This killing of
electricians occurs altogether too often

want of due care on part Of en-
pl6yes.

MISUNDERSTANDING PRESIDENT
GOMPER9,

MISUNDERSTANDING PRESIDENT
GoMPERs.
Republican newspapers and politi-
clans are doing their utmost to sow
seeds Of dissension in the ranks Of
union labor. For the first time in his
career as president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, Samuel Gompers
has publicly declared his preference
for candidate for office, and has
asserted that he will support the cam
didacy Of William Jennings Bryan for
president Of the United States, for
the particular reason that the Demo-
cratic nominee stands upon a plat
form thoroughly consistent with the
policies Of the American trade union
movement.
terance from Mr.. Gompers has
mighty influence on trade unionists
the country over. Republican leaders
were quick to grasp the situation, and
to nip the Gornpers influence in the
bud they are endeavoring to make it
appear that Mr.. Gompers is attempt
ing to deliver the labor vote to MI.
Bryan.
However, they have failed to meas
ure the breath Of trade union thought
| on this question of politics. They
evidently have not considered how
grossly apathetic has been a Repub-
licaf1 congress to the appeals OF labor.
! They purposely conceal the meaning
less injunction plank in the platform
Of their party, knowing that ito con-
structioh was at the bidding Of labor's
organized foe, the National Association
Of Manufactures. They forget that
their candidate for the highest office
within the sift Of the American people
is best known to the labor world as
the pioneer abuser Of the power Of
the courts III Injunction procedure.
Mr.. Gompers could have remained
silent in this presidential Campaign.
Not 4 word about labor's political de-
mands need have been referred to, and
the result would be the same. Union
labor has been compelled to do some
thinking Of late. It thinks it knows
and that Is as good as knowing-to
whom to look for sympathy and sup
port.
The Republican party in it's silence
on labor issues, and its record in
congress has no claim upon the stiff
rage of union labor. The Democratic
party, whose congressional leaders
have ever been active in support of
labor measures. and whose platform
sion Of the hopes of labor has every
reason to receive the solid vote of
those American citizens who believe
in according labor the recognition it
deserves from government such as
ours.
We shall not attempt to defend Mr..
on1pers. He needs no defense. When
he shall have given expression to his
views in the next number Of the
Federationalist his political foes will
be shorne Of every argument against
him.
1t may not be aaniss to say, how
ever. that Mr.. Gompers has not at
tempted to deliver the votes OF union
labor to any political party. He has
been too long in the business to des-
troy his usefulness by such futile
move. Union labor has the intelli-
gence to use it's own Judgment in such
matters, as it does in directing it's
course in the field Of industry. It
has been kept fully informed Of the
attitude OF a Republican congress and
Republican party convention, and ii
will govern it's action at the pools next
November accordingly.

The e%-pistol-ary interchange be
tween Colonel Bryan Of Nebraska
and Colonel" Guffey Of Pennsyl-
vania makes all the other political
fireworks let loose on the glorious
Fourth look like wet powder fizzles.
The Roman candle volley touched off
at Fairview has been answered with
a giant cracker illumination from
Denver, which has sent splinters fly
ing in all directions.
According to Colonel" Bryan, Col
onel' Guffey Is a corporation wolf in
sleeps clothing, who has been rolling
the democratic waters and is unfit to
mix with Bryan and his immaculate
intimates, such as Mayor Jim" Roger
Sullivan, Tammany Boss" Murphy,
"Fingy' Connors, "Gumshoe Bill"
Stone and other democrats in good
standing.
Colonel Guffey that his cor
poration money and personal assist
ance were good enough for Bryan in
1896 and 1900, and when it comes
to executing the job Of political boss,
he yields the palm to the sage of
Fairview.
Having shot off their pistols at long
range, the two combatants are threat
ening to clinch with bare fists and
may resort to unprofessional weapons
unless bystanders interpose. That the
peace and harmony lowering in thick
chunks over the democratic pow-wow
at Denver should be broken by such
little family jars is distressing and de-
ploTable.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-07

When Francis E. Leupp was made
commissioner Of Indian affairs a few
years ago, one of his first official acts
was the cancellation of an order issued
by his immediate predecessor calling
upon the Indians to get their hair cut.
The haircut order had been issued by
former Commissioner Jones because he
had sat for four or five years receiv-
ing delegations from Indian tribes
throughout the country and had visual
proof of sanitary reforms that might
be accomplished if some active BARRIERS
could g., to work among the abor-
igines. The Indians came very nearly
rising in a general revolt, insisting
that If they had their hair cut, the
next order from Washington might re-
quire them to go TO work.
Mr.. Leupp had lived in New York
and New England and what he did not
know about Indians he made up in his
knowledge of human nature. He can
celled the haircut order and directed
that the Indians be supplied with all
the soap and crash towels they needed
or it might be hoped they would need
later. AS a result, the bids just opened
in Washington for supplies for the
Indian agencies for the country for
the next fiscal year call for 512, COO
pounds of soap and $4,000 yards OF
crash toweling. Mr.. Leupp knew thai
If the Indian could be taught to &C
uuire the habit of washing, he might
be led to higher things. In justitica-
ton of this idea, the order for soar
has been increased each year and this
year 1890 dozen coarse combs and
$50 dozen hair brushes have been
added to the list of supplies to be
forwarded to Lo.
Proof is at hand that the scheme has
worked like a charm. First came the
soar and towels. Then the coarse
combs and hair brushes were added
and now Mr.. Leupp u the &C
co%mplishment, gradually, of what Mr.
Jones of Wisconsin desired to bat out
on the first pitched ball. 1t is formally
announced that an official barber viii
be stationed at each Indian agency
and reservation for the purpose of cut
ting the Indians hair and doing q
little missionary work by introducing
him by degrees to the joys of talcun

In Omaha no new franchise can be
granted without a stipulation for a
percentage royalty to the city in addi-
ton to regular taxes.
If the granting OF a franchise is OF
such Importance that It should have
popular sanction, II It exceeds a period
of thirty years or constitutes an ex-
tension more than two years in ed-
vance Of the expiration Of the existing
franchise, there is just as much reason
why it should require popular sanction

tends a franchise already expired.

STATES NEEDED TO WIN.
Calculations of Special Interest to
Democratic Chasera.
Philadelphia Press.


The democratic party was once able to
win with the solid south and New York.
Later 1t needed the solid south, New York
and another state like Indiana or the three
states meeting at New York, New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
The apportioEment made on the census
Of 1900 added only twelve votes in the
electoral college to the south and twenty
six votes to the northern state, including
Oklahoma. The solid south, 169 votes, and
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
fifty-eight more lack twenty-five votes of
a majority. 4 fourth large northern state
OF two lesser ones are now needed 10 give
a democratic majority for president.
Oklahoma. seven votes. is not enough.
This would still leave eighteen votes to
be got somewhere.
II Bryan is to be elected this year he
must carry every southern state, he must
get the electoral vote Of New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, and he must adj
to this besides Oklahoma some one OF the
larger states between Ohio and Nebraska.
He must carry his own state, for instance.
which he has not done since 1896.
The day is over when the democratic
party can concentrate on New York or
on New York and Indiana, as In the past.
At least three northern states besides
New York must be carried, unless the
democratic ticket wins some one big state
like Illinois, which 1t has never won on a
presidential election save witt Cleveland,
in 1892.
The odd are. therefore. more heavily
against a party which rests on the soils
south for its vote than ever before. Each
census sees the northern states make a
relatively larger gain. When a presidential
election comes in 1912 on the basis Of the
census OF 1910. New York and five medium
sized states will be needed with the solid
south TO carry the electoral college for
a democratic candidate.
Moreover. the republican majorities n
the northern states grow. They do moi
diminish. They were never larger thar
u the past four years
