Country Club, have been postponed
until June, owing to the very cool
weather existing for this season Of
the year.
AS the dinners were to be given
from now on, on the galleries of the
clubhouse, it was considered that the
weather was too cool at present for
dinners to be given in the open.
On the first of June the dinners at
the club will be resumed, followed
by dances.

PERSpICEnIrS

While discussing the causes of the
third defeat of Mr.. Bryan's standing
candidacy for the presidency, this in
telligent and perspicuous explanation
of an ardent democratic organ, the
Spalding (Neb.) Enterprise, should
not be overlooked:
No well informed and honest man will
deny that Mr.. Taft yves his election to
purchased votes, intimidation and coercion.
1t may well be asked, Can he break away
from the influence that made his election
possible? II is a sad commentary upon
the progress of our civilization that after
l2l years of popular government an cleo
ton can be purchased in this country.
The editor of the Enterprise must
have gotten his trolleys mixed and
reprinted with variations some of the
outbursts of despair uttered by Mr..
Bryan and his associates Just before
the election. This sort of stuff was
spread about by the democratic cam
paign management before the votes
were counted in an effort to scare back
voters who they saw were turning away
from them. But not even Mr.. Bryan
has ventured since the election to
charge his defeat up to purchased
votes"
If the election had been really close
the Bryanite organs would doubtless
be again insisting that their followers
cared more for money than for princi-
pie and had sold out for cash. But
under the conditions it is fortunate
that no one but some stone-blind par
tisan, like the editor quoted. will ques.
ton the honesty of the verdict of the
people.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-14

and contains these two important pro-
visions:
F1rst-It shall be unlawful to file a bill
setting forth the causes for asking a d.
vorce until a year after a simple plea FOR
divorce without standardization has been
filed. This is intended to make it impos-
sible to have a hearing in divorce cases
for at least a year after the original bill,
Second-It shall be a felony for any per-
son to go to another state and obtain a
divorce without residing in the other state
at least a year previous to the granting OF
the decree.
The Chicago proposition goes ven
further than the new South Dakota
law, but both are designed to inject
the element of time and consequent
publicity into the granting of divorces.
All the workers in behalf of reform
in divorce legislation agree that the
first essential step is legislation max
ing it impossible to secure divorces
without the establishment of a resi-
dence of at least a yea in the location
in which the decree is sought and the
lapse of a reasonable time between the
filing of the petition and the final dis
position of the case.

HADLEY OF MISSOURI

The election of Attorney General
Hadley to be governor of Missouri is
one of'the greatest state triumphs of
republicans in the late campaign,
hardly second to the reelection of Gov
ernor Hughes of New York, because
Mr.. Hadley won his victory over
greater odds in a state supposed to be
fixedly democratic.
Mr.. Hadley went into the campaign
with the political history of his state
against him and is the first republican
governor Missouri has elected since the
civil war. He appealed to the people
because of his conscience and his cour-
age and his admirable record as attor-
ney general of the state in the four
years just passed. He achieved a ma
tiCnal reputation in the fight against
the Standard Oil trust in Missouri,
serving the people Just as every hon
est lawyer would serve his client. He
made his record and his campaign on
a platform of law enforcement and his
election is a triumph for good govern
ment and civic righteousness.
Governor-elect Hadley is entitled to
congratulations, but no more so than
the people of Missouri.

Taft's Popular Plurality.


Taft's popular plurality over Bryan will
approximate 1,2O0,444 votes, which is 50 per
cent greater than McKinley's over Bryan
in 1909, making this the severest Of Bryan's
three defeats. RoOsevelts plurality over
Parker, however, reached 100000, or
slightly double the popular plurality This
time. The difference came in the west.
Only three states gave Taft a greater
plurality than they did Roosevelt Gour
years ago, and these were Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New York. Through
out the west considerable return to normal
party divisions was manifest. Kansas, for
example. gives Taft $1,000 plurality, where
it gave Roosevelt $4,000. Iowa gives him
a $1,000 plurality. while 1t gave Roos welt
one three times as great. Nevertheless,
Taft's lead, both in popular vote and the
electoral college, will stand as among the
largest ever attained in American presI,
dential elections.

DRIFT.

The esteemed "Fingy' Corners of Buff
falo cheerfully admits he doesn't know why
it happened. How it happened is easy.
You can't always tell beforehand what
is behind a name. Dickey and Dolley were
the nursery warblers of republican music
in Missouri and Kansas.
The traditional strength OF Onion failed
lamentally in Texas. A candidate for the
state senate bearing the pungent name
was beaten TO a fragile"
BY reprlnting a series OF prophetic edi-
torials from back numbers the New York
World argues that it occupies a higher
plane than straw vote prophets.
AS a sign of returning consciousness in
politics 1t is worth noting that the ques-
ton whether Taft will be the tw~enty-s1xth
or twenty-seventh president is up for con-
sideration.
The perplexities of betters in Maryland
equals the troubles Of those who tackled
the question, How old is ANN" Two
of the Taft electors have a plurality of
6S over the six Bryan electors. Who car
ried the state?
Former Senator william f, Mason of H.
linois has been handed a consolation prize
by Chicago. A job in the city law depart
ment will net him about 5000 a year. After
a prolonged diet of spare ribs and kraut
a hunk of tenderloin Is enjoyable.
The reason for the split in Marylsnd's
electoral vote is the provision of the state
ballot law requiring a voter to place his
mark opposite each of the electors of his
party. Two OF the Taft electors received
a larger number of votes than any other
elector,

SEEKING NEW LEADERSHIP.
RemOrseIess Logic of Politics Points
That Way.

St. Louis Republic (dem.).
1t is far too soon to canvass the avail
ability of other candidates who may be
named in 1912. but it is not at all too soon
to recognize the fact that Mr.. Bryan's un-
doubted personal popularity did not develop
any evidences of growth from 1900 to 1908.
The attentive student of political move
ments will find in the incomplete returns of
this weeks election ample evidence that the
Bryan strength was not greater In 1895 than
it was in 1900 and not markedly greater than
that developed for Parker in 1904. 1t is the
remorseless logic OF politics that this should
bring new leadership four years hence.
Bryan carried two states, Colorado and
Nebraska, that Parker lost, and the demo-
cratic pluralities were somewhat increased
in three, Mississippi. South Carolina and
Texas, which are uniformly and certainly
democratic. These are the only points at
which Bryan brought gains. On the other
hand, the democratic pluralities seem to
have been substantially decreased IN Ala
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia. And comparing 1900 with 1908 the
same decrease in Bryan's strength is ap-
parent for he gained this year only Ne
braska that he lost eight years ago and
seems to have enlarged the democratic
pluralities only in Alabama, North Carolina
and South Carolina. Against these gains,
however, must be placed losses In Arkansas,
Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Mon
tana and Virginia.
The moral Of the figures is not to BE-
escaped. Mr. Bryan cannot mistake 1t.
His phenomenal popularity is waning. No
more forcible evidence of that fact is az
$500 .L,, tl, AI{uoaVrg rat,w,. -.....A
In 1896 Missouri gave him 57,T27, In 1900 IL
gave him 1880. Yet the state went against
him with the party reunited and apparently
harmonious. The politicians. Il appears,
were more united than the people and
Bryan lost strength in Missouri, as ne did
in half a dozen other democratic states, be-
cause Of decreasing popularity and not be-
cause Of organized opposition.
It is in the order OF progress that demo-
cratic thoughts should turn to new leader
ship in 1912, a leadership which Mr.. Bryan
as a good party man will accept along with
every other loyal democrat.
