A lesson In thrift is found In the ad-
vice given by Congressman John E.
Andrus to young man for whom he
had secured a minor appointment In
the capitol at Washington. Meeting
the young fellow In the capitol, he
placed hand on his shoulder and re
marked:
William. you are just beginning
your life. Let me give you bit OF
sound advice: When you leave your
boarding house in the morning never
take more than 80 cents in your peck
cts, enough perhaps for your luncheon
and for car fare. You will then moi
be tempted to spend more than you car
afford. "-Yonkcrs Statesman

New York Everdng Post Qnd.).
In the lively contest in political purity
between Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Taft
has just scored a point by announcing
that the republican national committee will
not accept any contributions from amy cor
poration. The honors between the two
candidates seem now to be about even,
though In view of the intimate relations
between the republican committee and the
corporations in recent campaigns, Mr.. Taft
has made the greater remuneration. Mr..
'fatts position In this matter is, like Mr..
Bryan's, entirely creditable. Although the
courts have held that presidential electors
are state officers. and therefore beyond
the scope of the federal law, he will adhere
to the spirit and not the letter Of the
statute. Nobody can deny, of course, that
II 1t Is undesirable that elections Of con-
gressmen shall be influenced by corpora
lions, which may often enormous
resources and thus determine the result,
1t is equally undesirable that the presidency
shall in any sense be a pawn in the game
OF finance. In view Of the promises OF
MT Taft and Mr.. Bryan, which but re-
fleet the growing sentiment against the
lavish use of money in elections, the cam
paign seems likely to be more free from
scandal than any within the memory Of
the present generation.

Where Are TheyF

NeW YORK Tribune (rep.).
What western states can be won for the
democratic ticket? Surely not Ohio, Illi-
nois, Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas,
the Dakotas, Wisconsin, California, Oregon,
Washington or any of the mountain states,
except possibly Montana and Nevada. Mr..
Bryan doubtless hopes to carry Nebraska,
and Mr.. Kern will do his best to carry In
diana. But each has the odds strongly
against him. Even supposing thai Indiana,
Nebraska, Montana and Nevada were lost
to the republicans, there would still be no
democratic majority in the electoral col
lege. These states have only twenty-nine
votes, and flfty-five votes more would be
needed. To secure these fifty-five votes
Illinois would have to be captured, with
Colorado, Iowa and Kansas. In short, moth
ing less than a complete overturn Of the
Of western politics will be nee
essary to carry Mr.. Bryan into the White
House. 1t is to prevent the possibility of
such a reversal that republican effort
should be freely expended over this wide
area. The middle west and far west should
be fortified and solicited in their repub-
hcanism, and for that reason another de-
cislve republican victory should be the aim
Of all republicans.

BUSINESS METHODS IN Politics.
Even this early in the campaign Of
1908 evidence has been furnished that
the republican managers who selected
Frank II. Hitchcock to be the head
OF the national organization made no
mistake. Mr.. Hitchcock is Offering
something new in the methods of cam
ps4gn management. He has departed
from the old plan, 30 long in vogue in
both parties, Of claiming everything,
conducting a hurrah campaign, maxi
ing much noise and then waiting,
without real information, but full of
hope, for the result at the polls. Mr..
Hitchcock has decided to adopt busi-
ness methods and to employ the same
means of ascertaining the wants of the
people as a merchant would in looking
over a trade field.
This method is in keeping with Mr..
Hitchcock's career in public official
life. He is an organizer. When the
Department of Commerce and Labor
was established, Mr.. Hitchcock, as chief
clerk, placed the department on a
working business basis in a few months
and made 1t the model of executive de-
partment efficiency in Washington. AS
first assistant postmaster general, he
abolished a number Of needless bu-
reaus, redivided the work of the de-
partment, with a saving to the govern
ment in money and a marked improve
ment in business efficiency. Incidentally,
he gave the Department of Agriculture
its present effective plan of keeping in
touch with foreign markets and has
done, In all, perhaps more than n
other one man to abolish governmental
red tape and to adopt business methods
in the government service.
In organizing the campaign this
year, Mr.. Hitchcock has made each
state a working division in the depart
ment of politics. State chairmen and
national committeeman are to be kept
in close and constant touch with him,
Just as a commander in the field is kept
in touch with conditions through the
reports of his staff officers and lieuten-
ants. Approving the poll system used
by Chairman Hayward of Nebraska,
Mr.. Hitchcock proposes to have 1t gen.
orally adopted in all Of the states. BY
this voters will be reached with as lit
tie delay as possible and supplied with
literary productions and the arguments
calculated to convince them that it is
to their advantage to continue the
Roosevelt policies at Washington, with
a republican house and a republican
senate. Concentration and cooperation
will be the ~watchwords Of the national
committee, under Mr.. Hitchcock's
guidance. The result will be that all
of the workers will know, from time to
time, the progress of the campaign
which will be based on facts and fig
ures instead of the old style of polit-
ical guesswork.

ON PRESIDENTIAL FIRING LINE.
Dislike and Jealousy OF
CIeveland's Fame.

Harpcr's Weekly und).
Because Cleveland refused to support him,
Bryan declared over his signature that
Cleveland secured his own domination by a
secret bargain with financiers; that he
spent the largest campaign fund any party
ever collectedi that he filled his cabinet
with corporation agents; that he appointed
railroad lawyers to the supreme bench, and
that, having debauched his party. he
stabbed II to death to prevent its return to
the paths OF virtue. Only four years ago he
shouted from the platform In Urbana, o.:
The democrats in 1899 played a conf
dence game on the people and put a bunco
steerer at the head OF the party"
Bryan hated Cleveland then, he hates him
now; he loathed him living. he loathes him
dead. He Is, moreover, in the full flush Of
personal power, insanely Jealous Of Cleve-
lands fame.
Every word spoken in \praise of Cleve-
land as a man of character and conviction
is gall and wormwood to Bryan. SO It is
easy to understand why he would permit
no suitable tribute to be paid to the first
OF democrats Of his generation, why he re-
FUSED to recognize merit in any party leader
other than himself, and why he bathed res
oiutions so inadequate as to be almost in
sulting with the tears of the crocodile.

Grover Cleveland could find It in their
hearts to vote for william J. Bryan.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-27


Home rule for Omaha" is a cam
paign cry that will often be heard dur
ing the coming fall and it is well to
stop right now to consider what this
means. In the first place, 1t may be
stated with confidence that the candi-
dates for the legislature, Of all parties,
will cheerfully subscribe to a pledge
to give Omaha the fullest measure Of
home rule possible under the general
laws of the state. The charter re-
vision committee now at work prom
Uses to insert in its report a provision
for home rule under a homemade
charter at the earliest opportunity.
All who have given the question seri-
Gus consideration agree that Omaha
should have the right to make Its own
charter.
1t must be understood that Omaha
cannot make a charter that will give
to the city authorities any powers or
privileges that transcend the pro-
visions of the general law. 1t is i'm
possible to set up a government within
a government wherein the smaller will
control the greater, but many direct
advantages will accrue to Omaha
through the power to formulate its
own fundamental law in consonance
with the general law of the state. The
greatest advantage probably will be
that such procedure will secure stabil-
ity for the charter.
The present practice is that each
succeeding legislature is assailed by a
self-constituted committee or commit
tees, claiming to represent the citizens
of Omaha, but in reality merely rep
resenting factions or interests, and
having no power from the citizenship
in general. This procedure is fol-
lowed by biennial changes in the char
ter, so that it is anything but stable.
If a convention of representative citi-
zens were called under the provisions
of a properly framed law for the pur-
pose of formulating and presenting to
the voters for adoption a charter for
the government of the city Aof Omaha
the result can easily be anticipated.
With such a charter permanency will
be in a large measure assured for the
reason that the method of altering or
amending it would require the setting
into motion of machinery similar to
that now necessary for the amendment
of the state constitution. This would
preveat the biennial mutilation of the
charter by corporations or other spe-
cial interests. Other advantages to
come from a homemade charter are
many and the prospect for Omaha hav-
ing the right to formulate its own sys-
tenn of municipal management without
the interference of the legislature was
never brighter.
