LABOR AND THE ELECTION.

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor takes a peculiarly
narrow and mistaken view of the re-
suits of the presidential election when
he publicly declares that the aus OF
labor has been temporarily defeated,
but not conquered" and then goes on
to intimate that there is an uncer-
tainty as to where Mr.. Taft's election
leaves union labor.
Union ! ebor has not been affected
by the election, so far as relates to the
aims and purposes of the organization.
1t has been affected, greatly to its
benefit, by the decision of the people
to continue the republican party in
power and thus ssh adherence to a
policy which makes for plenty of work
at high wages instead Of a period OF
industrial unrest which would have fol-
lowed a democratic victory and its at
tendant upsetting of business. Aside
from that phase of the question, no
attempt has been made Ito conquer"
labor or to defeat Its just demands.
Mr. Taft's conception of government is
that 1t is foc tho benefit of all classes
and not for the special benefit of any
one class. 1t is Mr.. Gompers' misfor-
tune, apparently, that he can not, or
does not, realize that fundamental
American principle.
The result of the election should
prove a lesson to organized labor. The
lesson was taught by organized labor
which showed Mr.. Gompers that Amer
loan workmen are capable of think
ing for themselves and voting as they
think, refusing to be led or delivered
by any man, however high in their
councils. The labor problem is a part
of the economic problem of the coun-
try which is being solved on a broader
platform than craftsmanship. The best
men who have given their lives to the
labor movement have always en-
deavored to keep 1t free from depend
ence upon the success of one party
making it a work of principle rather
JHdu b WOTh VI pOllLhCS' muOh vi thN
progress of the labor movement has
been due to adherence to that policy
and none but Mr.. Gompers is appar
emily to blame for his attempt Blind!
to throw away that advantage.
Organized labor is to be congratu
Hated upon its escape from an illogica
condition. The record of the republi
can party on labor legislation, in thu
states and in the nation, is the bes
assurance that organized labor has los

NATIONAL BANK DIRECTORS.
Some Good May Come from the Ex-
aminers' Quiz.
'hicago Tribune.

AS0
The controller of the currency has sent
a list of troublesome questions to each
national bank director. One of them is
as to his familiarity with the national
bank act. 1t is said that since the con-
troller sent out his queries there has been
an u~nexampled demand for copies of the
law. The natural presumption Is that It
never has been perused by many of those
who should be thoroughly acquainted with
its requirements and it's penalties.
Any director who is able to answer in the
affirmative all the searching questions put
by the comptroller, may be set down as a
mar who understands his business and
whose bank is safe. There are many to
whom this description does not apply. There
are honorary directors who are put In
merely because they have respectable
names that may draw business. There are
dummy directors picked out by the man
who controls the bank because they may
be depended on not to look curiously into
its affairs or attempt to stop him If he
should enter upon forbidden ways. If all
the sham directors could be weeded out
and the genuine article substituted for
them a national bank failure would be a
startling event.
That the controller of the currency will

is not to be expected. His circular will,
however. awaken some easy going direc-
tors to a sense of responsibility. They
will either acquaint themselves with their
duties and perform them, or give up posi-
tiOns which for one or another reason
they cannot fill properly. A director who
does all the controller of the currency
wishes him to must give more time to
the work than many men in active bust
ness think they can afford to give.
TIL catechising OF directors. which will
be of advantage to national banks, will
be OF equal advantage to state banks,
Therefore, the state auditor should pat
tern after the controller of the currency
and try to find out something about the
banking attachments OF the directors OF
institutions which are working under
Illinois charters. Not all OF them are
fit for their places,

"A 10 A SPECIAL SESSION.

Some Of Governor Sheldon's ad-
visers are trying to persuade him to
nve the outgoing legislature at
once in special session to enact some
sort Of a spite law against the liquor
interests.
Although Anti-Saloon league officers,
themselves, did everything they could
to beat Governor Sheldon in the recent
election, the governor is being urged
to believe that the saloons alone are
responsible and should be made to
suffer punishment. The action OF
Governor Hanly in converting the leg
islature Of Indiana to put a county OPP
ton law on the statute books likewise
is cited as an example for Governor
Sheldon to emulate.
Instead of yielding to the impulse
of the moment, we would advise Gov
ernor Sheldon to approach this whole
subject with a cool head and a dispas-
sionate mind.
In the first place, Governor Hanly
did not wait until after the election to
call the Indiana Legislature together,
but convened the lawmakers before
election. Even at that the people of
Indiana failed to endorse Governor
Hanly's program and elected a demo-
cratic governor and a democratic leg
isiature.
Here in Nebraska the question must
be asked, What, II anything, has sud
denly occurred 10 present the emer-
gency contemplated by the constitution
to justify a special session of the legis-
%lature? This same legislature vas in
session for three months last year, but
did not see fit to pass any bill along
the lines now proposed. From the
Sheldon has had a year and a half dur
ing which he could have called the leg
i~slature together for this purpose, but
saw no necessity for it.
The people Of Nebraska have just
chosen a new legislature for the ex.
press purpose of dealing with these
questions. The new legislature will
convene within a few weeks with 8
largely pr~eponderant democratic ma
jority and by the mandate of the recent
election the people of Nebraska have
declared that they want this demo
cratic legislature to assume RESPONSE
bility.
Under such circumstances we do no
see what Governor Sheldon, or the re
publican party in Nebraska, has t,
gain by jumping into the breach a
this moment to anticipate the work o
the newly elected legislature.

PALMA'S PART IN CUBA.

but little attention has been paid in
Cuba either to the passing away of a
man who did more than any other one.
person to wrest the island from Span
ish rule. II
Palma was born in Cuba and edu-
Gated In Spain for the law. He took
part in the ten years. war of 1S6S-78
and was elected the first president Of
the provisional republic. When that
collapsed Palma was arrested, his vast
property coniscated and he was sent
to Spain, where he served seven years
In prison. In the course of the ten
years war Palma's father died and his
mother was tortured and starved to
death by Spanish soldiers. When
Palma was released from the Spanish
prison he came direct to the United
States and devoted his wonderful en-
ergy to the financing of the campaigns
Of Maceo and Gomez. who were maxi
ing the fight against Spain which
finally led to American Intervention
and war.
When Cuban separation from Spain
had been secured Senior Palma was the
only man thought of for the first presi-
dency of the new republic. His admin
~istration broke down 80 badly that the
United States was called upon for the
second time to intervene in the inter-
ests. of good government. Palma
failed as president of the republic be-
cause he made the error of thinking
that all Cubans were as patriotic as
himself and refused. on that account,
to establish a standing army or make
any effort To use government force in
the maintenance of order. When the
failure of his plans came, he resigned
the presidency, refusing to accept out.

left the Office and took up the life of
private citizen In the country in which
he was born and to the success and in,
dependence of which he lad given hi

Of knowing that the great principle o

AMERICAN MINERAL RESOURCES
Total Annual Production Goes Above
Two Billion Mark.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
A steady growth in the mineral industries
Of the country is exhibited in a report for
the calendar year 1907, just issued by the
United States geographical survey. For the
first time a total production valued at more
that $1,000, 100000 was recorded last year.
Though the business depression felt twelve
months ago limited the output in a few
instances, in the great majority there was
an increase ranging from 5 to 40 per cent.
BY far the largest contributions TO the
mineral wealth of the year were made by
coal and iron, which together represented
more than half the total. In both of these
the United states now leads all other coun-
tries. Last year the value of the coal
mined showed a. gain of about 10 per cent
on 1906. The increase in iron was some.
what less.
To the statistician iron presents a per-
picking problem. 1t is produced in three
forms-ore, pig and steel-but in order to
avoid a repetition of values pig iron alone
figures in the surveys summaries, although
returns are obtained regarding the other
products. Consequently in the tables
cited the share which Minnesota and Michi-
gan nave I'm the iron industry does not
appear. Credit is given only to the states
In which most of the blast furnaces are.
Pennsylvania figures first in the list, there
fore, Ohio second. Illinois third and New
York and Alabama compete for the fourth
place. On the same principle the tabula-
ton ignores coke, though from the text of
the report it is learned that fully one
tenth of the bituminous coal mined is con-
verted into that commodity.
California apparently leads the procession
in the production OF petroleum at the pres
ent time, an amount only slightly exceeding
her output, having been supplied in 1907
by Oklahoma and Indian territory COM
bined. The largest quantities of gold mined
last year were credited to Colorado, Alaska
and California. In respect to silver, Utah,
Montana and Colorado are about on even
terms, with Nevada ranking fourth. Cop
per is one Of the few metals mined in
diminished quantities in 1901. s6S. 1896. 49l
pounds being reported, as against 81, sos, $50
pounds in 1906. At last accounts Arizona
produced the most, Michigan and Montana
being not far behind.
When returns for 1908 are available a
somewhat less favorable showing will
doubtless be made, but by 1903 the revival
of business should stimulate the demand
both for metals and such nonmetallic min
erals as cement. brick. stone and lime.
Prosperity with a big p Is likely to arrive

The cause of DR.. Emerson's death has not

Bryan was telling a story on himself last

headlong into the street. Picking himself

Premature senatorial Blooms.

Philadelphia Record (dem,).
1t is a little early for the launching OF
"booms,' but the talk about bestowing
senatorial togas on Theodore Roosevelt and
William j. Bryan is interesting though
premature. Senators Burkett of Nebraska
and Depew of New York, to succeed whom
Messrs. Bryan and Roosevelt are being
mentioned, will not retire until March 3,
1911; and between then and now a good
deal of water will run under the bridges.
The possibility of seeing the senate
strengthened by the Inclusion of W of the
most f~orceful rhetoricians Of their genera
ton is an engaging one. nevertheless.

PERSONAL.

Certain self-styled republicans &C
customed to speak out through demo-
cratic newspapers seem to be greatly
distressed for fear the editor of The
Bee may not have been sufficiently
squelched by their efforts to throw Ne
braska back into the democratic col
umn. While a 5000 plurality in his
home state is nothing for Mr.. Bryan
to boast about, we do not believe it
will reflect seriously on the standing
of The Bees editor in the republican
party. In fact, not being an Office
seeker, the editor of The Bee has al
ready had the recognition which the
small-bores seem to dread, as may be
evidenced by the following telegram:
