DON'T FORGET.

Don't forget that the men who are
to be nominated on the republican
ticket at next weeks primary must
then go before the people and beat out
their democratic opponents at the No
vember election.
While Douglas county and this con
gressional district are normally repub-
lican,> they are not invariably repub-
lican and the personalities of the
candidates competing for each partic-
ular office have in the past had a great
deal to do in determining which one
lands the job.
The republicans have carried Doug
las county more than once by upward
of 1000 majority and at the same
time had democrats crawl into ONCE
because of inherent weakness or fla
grant untitness of individual repub-
iican nominees. In these cases the
constituted dead weights upon the
reputable and popular candidates and
have been worse than useless to their
associates compelled to try unsuccess-
fully to carry them in the campaign.
The direct primary nominations put
it up to the rank and file of the party
to see to it that the ticket from top to
bottom is built just as strongly as the
timber made available by the filings
will permit. Full realization of this
responsibility and a wise selection
from among the candidates presented
victory at the polls in November GER
tain, while indifference will simply in
crease the labor necessary to keep the
republican majorities in this county
and district up to their usual notch.

a year. or once in ten years, II settle
ments we're made only once a year,
or on a ten-yesr basis. The attor-
ney general wound up his plea for a
~rehearing with this plain talk:
That. in short. the opinion as & stands
enormously states material portions Of the
record: does injustice to the trial Judge;
leaves doubtful in a new trial the rule OF
law to be applied, both as to knowledge
on the part Of the shipper. and as to the
number OF offenses; appears to be in con-
flict with the language OF the supreme
court and with the previous language Of
the presiding judge Of this court, and with
the great weight of legal authority; and, II
permitted to remain unmodified, will tend
to encourage disobedience to law. to inn
pede the enforcement of salutary statutes
and largely to defeat their purpose.
1t is perhaps unfortunate that the
harsh criticism INDUCED by Judge
Grosscup and Mr.. Bonaparte should
find place in the records of the courts,
but it may be too much to expect, as
judges and courts are human, that a
lawsuit as famous as that in question,
which produced the big-fine record of
all ages, should be allowed to be settled
finally without extraordinary proceed
ure. The president and his advisors are
evidently preparing to carry their case
to the supreme court, and the country
certainly wants it tried and deter
mined there, where 1t will be dealt
with calmly and without prejudice.
The case is one of the most important
ever tried in a federal court, so far
as it's effect on the transportation and
industrial interests of the country are
concerned and the interests of the
corporation, the government and the
people demand that it be determined
finally in accordance with the princi-
pies of exact equity.

The passage by the Belgian Parlia-
ment of the treaty of annexation, by
the terms of which the Congo Free
State is to be taken from the personal
eonttolt OF King Leopold and trans
ferred to the Belgian government, is a
long, and, perhaps, finalstep toward
the solution of a problem in which all
nations and all humanity has been
deeply interested for a third of a CEN
fury. The transfer makes 1t possible
for public opinion and the powers rep
resented in the original Congo confer
ence to bring reforms from the atroci-
tiles and Observation-Disclosures that have
characterized the rule of Leopold, who
exercised a sort Of proprietary right in
the Congo and titsypeople.
The Congo Free State has a popula-
tion of 10000, OO0 natives and an area
about twenty times that Of Nebraska.
The Congo government, under Leo
pold's administration, has been greedy,
cruel, oppressive and brutal. 1t al
never be a white mans country, as the
climate and large native population for
bid that, but it. is capable OF great de-
velopment by which the natives may be
helped up to a degree of security in
person and property and to a level of
civilization of which King Leopold
never dreamed.
Leopold was the moving spirit in
the invasion and exploration Of Dark
est Africa, a movement in which he
was largely aided by Stanley, the
American explorer. He took the
Congo Free State as his personal spoils
and began a reign of brutality and
cruelty that caused a worldwide agi-
tation against him and has finally
forced him to cede the country to the
kingdom of Belgium. In-this, agitation
the United States played an important
part and must share the credit for
the victory in behalf of decency,
humanity and civilization.

STILL HARplNe ON THE NEGRO

STILL ON II NEGRO.
Democratic newspapers in the south
evidently do not agree with Mr.. Bryan
that discussion in this campaign shall
be limited to subjects specifically
enumerated in the Denver platform.
The southern democrats do not relish
the Irritation started by Mr.. Bryan
and some of his close advisers with the
colored voters in the northern and
border states and they are making no
effort to conceal their displeasure. Mr..
Bryan, in effect, has asked the south
ern democrats to keep discreetly in
the rear during the campaign, particu-
larly with reference to the Issue that
is always paramount in the south. The
Norfolk Landmark, one of the old
bourbon democratic papers Of Vir-
ginia, in a recent editorial declares:
We wish to see Mr.. Bryan elected, with
a distinct understanding of his obligations
to the south, and If We thought that he
intended to take up the negro issue on the
anti-southern side we should not hesitate
a moment in opposing his election. Ten

would commit the blunder on the advice
Of wild men like George Fred williams.
Now we do not think he will commit it,
because southern outcries have made him
appreciate what 1t would mean.
This is direct notice on Mr.. Bryan
that If he wishes the support of the
southern democracy he must make no
pledge, directly or indirectly, Ito do
something for the negro" II is notice
that he must not attempt to utilize the
Brownsville incident as an issue, and
must, under no circumstances, make
any protest against the plans of south
ern democrats to push the work of
negro disfranchisement in southern
states. Clearly the south would prefer
to see MIR. Bryan defeated rather than
have him elected by negro votes.
Further illustration OF the feeling
among southern democrats is found in
the almost unanimous endorsement by
southern editors of the action Of the
West Virginia democrats incorporating
a negro disfranchisement plank in
their recent state platform. West Vir-
ginia has a negro population of but
43 900, as against $4,000 whites

GOVERNOR JoBSsoNs PRED1cAMEEr

sovERNOR JOHSSoNs PREDIcAMENT
Governor Johnson of Minnesota a
been placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton b. the democratic party of his
state which has forced a third term
J nomination upon him, in face of HIS
erphatically expressed determination
4 not to be a candidate or to accept a
nomination, If rendered, n in spite
Of his statement that enthusiastic
service could not be expect ID from a
drafted candidate. Just before the
convention was called. Governor John
son dictated this statement:
7 have stated my position several times
before and the situation has not changed.
Having declared publicly my opposition to
a third term for administrative elective
offices. ! could not possibly accept a nomi-
nation now without stultifying myself and
without violating my every sense Of polit-
icsl propriety.
1t will be awkward for the governor
to 60 before the people admitting that
he has stultified himself and violated
every sense of political propriety, but
he was forced to make the race, as the
democratic party OF his state feel that
the sole chance of lettering Mr..
Bryan's political chances in that state
rests on Johnson as a third-term can
didate. II is not a secret that Gov
ernor Johnson and his friends are
looking forward to the next chance,
four years hence, and they would
doubtless have much preferred to have
the governor rest on his record rather
than go into another campaign with
the chances of defeat strongly against
him.
The situation in Minnesota is pecu-
liar. In 1900, when President Nc
Kinley carried the state by 1900
plurality owe Mr.. Bryan, the repub-
lican candidate for governor wal
elected by only 2,240. In 1904
President Roosevelt carried Minnesota
by 161, 600, while Governor Johnson
was elected by $3.50, and was re-
elected in 1896 by 1858. No secret
is made of the fact that much of Gov
ernor Johnson's strength heretofore
has come from the Scandinavian vote.
The republican candidate this year will
divide that vote, being a Scandinavian,
and will poll the natural strength of
his own party, which has gone largely
to Governor Johnson in past CAM
paigns because of the question of
nationality and the further and more
- -. - 49,
ponents of Governor Johnson in his
former campaigns were not popular,
even in their own party. The demo-
Gratis are in a hopeless minority in
Minnesota, under ordinary conditions,
and Governor Johnson is naturally re-
luctant to run again, as a defeat in
his third race would do much to de-
stroy the prestige, valuable for 1912
purposes, of his two unusual elections.

THE STANDARD CASE AGAIN.

The attack made by Judge Gross
cup on Judge lands in the opinion
reversing the decision by which the
fine of S2s,24O.0OO was assessed
against the Standard Oil company in
the trial in Chicago, has called for a
reply by Attorney General Bonaparte
which is one of the most severe criti-
cisms ever made of a court and it's
judges. The most scathing feature Of
Mr.. Bonaparte's reply is the direct
charge that Judge Grosscup, in MAX
ing his decision. deliberately misstated
the record in the case.
Attorney General Bonaparte, in fill
ing the governments petition for a re-
hearing. recites statements from the
record to prove that the court of APP
peals did not treat the question fairly
and misstated the facts before the
court. Judge Grosscup held that
Judge lands was in error in deciding
that each carload of oil might be
treated as a separate offense. Mr.

number will fall far short Of that. The

that purposes now bringing forth its
fruit.
The conference seeking to educate the
mothers Of the tenements was held June l.,
and as soon as possible after that the
nurses were actively at work. Naturally
it took them some time to accomplish any
thing and so for a few weeks a~fterward
no results were evident.
But on July 25 the record showed that
Tor the week preceding only f4 children
died, where as for the corresponding week
last year the number was $50. The week
ended August 1 showed only 3sS deaths,
while for the corresponding week last year
there were 576. The week ended August
s the number had dropped to S2S, as COM
pared with 4s6 for the like period last year.
The decrease in the general death rate
is, of course, materially affected by the de-
crease in the number Of deaths of chill
dren, though the departments work In
preventing tuberculosis has had its effect.
The lowest rate this summer was 1853 a
thousand of population Cestlmated), which
was for the week ended August /, though

In the three weeks ended August s there
were precisely 1,217 fewer deaths in the
greater city than for the same period last
year, a remarkable showing when the in

sideration.
