The Sheriff.

Very recent vents have emphasized
to our people the Importance Of the
once OF sheriff. The sheriff is the law
ofieer of the county, and as such
shares with the police, in times Of ex-
traoTdinary turbulence, responsibility
for protecting life and property.
Our present sheriff. e. F. Bradley,
has proved to be a faithful and trust
worthy public servant. He has been re-
nominated on the republican ticket and
ought to be, and will be, reelected if
the people who want law and order
maintained do their duty.
The fact should be realized by every
one that the only concerted opposition
to Sheriff Brailey's reelection comes
from those who want to rebuke him
for doing his duty as a law officer dur
ing the late street a strike. The
democratic candidate has been tossed
over the transom, and the strikers, and
those whom they influence, are exert
ing themselves to center their votes on
the socialist candidate, who is one of
their number. II they could elect a
sheriff of their own they would thereby
serve notice on all public officers that
their political future depended on com
plianCe with orders of the strike com
mittee. More than this, the plan con-
templates a r%e-opening of the street
car strike in the event of the capture
of the sheriff's oflce.
Every man, woman and child in
Omaha who wants to be safe on the
public streets is vitality interested in
the election Of Sheriff Bradley by an
increased majority, ...y az

The Craze in Cotton.

Speculation in cotton has reached
quotations at astonishing figures and
feverishly mounting upward. Manu-
factories in the south have begun to
shut down and those of the north will
follow suit as soon as their old stock
is exhausted. because the speculative
price of the raw commodity has
reached a prohibitive point which the
finished product cannot attempt to fol-
low.
In some respects the craze in cotton
has become as irrational as the cele-
brated tulip craze in Holland early in
the seventeenth century, when single
bulbs sold for such fabulous prices as
5000 before the speculation subsidized
with widespread ruin. The manufac-
turers of cotton goods are a unit in
their refusal TO buy until prices ma
terially fall, yet with the market closed
against them the proft-mad specula-
tors gamble for greater gains, dream
ing of record fortunes.
The mill owners sec in this mania
nothing but folly and loss for the many
who are being baited on by the few
who will reap a vast harvest before
the bubble breaks and distress for the
thousands of operatives thrown out of
work. Some OF the most conservative
OF the manufacturers are seriously dis
cussing the possibility Of some individ-

questionable practices in political cam

The only thing missing from the
present Nebraska campaign, which en-
velopes it in doubt, is the usual rear
platform speech-making tour of VIII
liam Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Bryan this
years seems to have put 5000 into the
political pot in the cause OF democratic
nonpartisanship and bottled up his ora
tory. evidently imbued with the idea
that his money would do more good
than his talk. At any rate, no matter
what happens, it can't be blamed on
Mr.. Bryan's speeches this time.

The democratic World-Herald tries
to put those bogus circulars onto c. o.

of Mr.. Whedon, even by those who dis
agree with him, he is not subject to the
charge of being two-faced. Mr.. Whe-
don was the lawyer who made and won
the case on the so-called nonpartisan
judiciary law; he presided over the last
republican state convention, and he Is
now a member Of the republican state
committee. If Mr.. WhedoL were going
to fight any of the republican judicial
candidates he would fight in the open
and not from ambush.

Springfield Republican
Nothing would better demonstrate the
singular state of -disorganization in the
democratic party than the election OF Sec
rotary Dickinson to the United States SEN
ate by the democrats Of Tennessee. Mr..
Dickinson is d member Of a republican
cabinet, in the service of a republican ad-
ministration. yet evidently he has enough
encouragement in Tennessee to warrant his
public statement announcing himself as a
passive candidate, Says the secretary:
IF it should appear to me, as has been
urged, hat my candidacy would be the
means OF u~nlfying present varying fac
tions in the democratic party, l should
consider il my duty to sink personal in
clinations and accept the situation. though
my present position as secretary of war
would prevent my making any unseemly
scramble for the place" The remarkable
aspect of the statement is that the candi-
dacy Of a secretary OF war In a republican
administration might be the means Of uni
flying warning factions in the democratic
party. Tennessee must be the most nom
partisan Of states to contemplate such a
solution Of her senatorial problem, and
congratulations will be sincere II she
chooses simply an able man TO the office
without regard to his party regularity. II
Mr.. Dickinson goes from the cabinet to the
senate, however, will he join the admins
tration party OF the opposition? He would
be in an ideal position to serve as an in

An action has been taken by the War de-
partment in the matter OF winter target
practice, which will probably do away with
that particular work. 1t has been found
necessary to omit winter firing in target
practice at many of the posts in the United
States not equipped with their own target
ranges. 1t is also observed that a strict
construction Of the provision of the require
ments embodied in G, O. III. War Depart
ment, 1907, would require men in the tropics
to wear overcoats when firing. No benefit
is derived from winter practice in the
tropics and 1t is held that tho same can
be said practically for winter practice in
the southern portion OF the United States.
1t is believed that very little, IL any, ma
terial benefit has been derived from winter
practice generally. This practice was first
prescribed in our service about -four years
ago by instructions received from the presi-
dent and has never been Incorporated In the
small arms firing regulations. The pres
ent orders require the full field kit to be
carried during winter practice. Instruction
in firing with the full field kit is provided
for among the regulations governing field
firing required in the service by the pro-
~visional small arms firing manual. Further
more, post commanders are held respon-
sIble for the efficiency of their command
in field practice and as they fix the time
for the supplementary season as to have
practice under winter conditions II they
deem 1t desirable.

The unusual situation is presented to a
retired army officer, who resides in Colo
RADIO and who desires to ally himself with
the state militia. 1t becomes necessary,
under the state law, in accepting such an
office for the retired army officer to en-
list in the Colorado organization. The
legality OF such a proceeding has been the
subject Of official consideration in the War
department, with the result that it is de-
cided there is no bar under the statute to
the enlistment in the organized militia Of
Colorado Of the army officer who is on the
retired list of the regular establishment.
1t may be a question Of policy and it is
pointed out that the enlistment should be
coupled with the condition annulling the
enlistment should the officer fail to pass
