Be Reoonoiled.

Just because Douglas county pulled
out first prize at the State fair, above
all counties in its class, the Lincoln
Star emits this lugubrious lament of
which The Bee feels it's readers should
take cognizance:
The climax of humiliation has been
reached for Lancaster county in the
awards at the State fair for county 'collec-
tive exhibits. in tina Douglas county has
been awarded the championship belt in ag-
riculture for the district. We have stood
up long under the knowledge that Douglas
county. though smaller than Lancaster,
has had more population and more wealth.
II has also had more fun and more cussed-
ness than this urbane and orderly county
has ever asplred to. 1t has a great deal
more water and less use for 1t than we,
who must content ourself with the placidi-
ties of Salt creek. as compared to the tu-
multuous activities Of the Big Muddy.
We have contented ourselves over the
humiliation that 1t has a lot Of railroad
headquarters, some skyscraper jobbing
houses and factories, some magnificent re-
tail emporiums, some marvellous civic ac-
~tlvities, some ruthless politicians, some
breweries and a Mayor Jim. 1t was pos
slble for us to contemplate all these and
still be happy. But to have It flung IN our
teeth that it has also the best farmers ami
the best farm PRODUCTS is the acme of de-
graduation, which must leave us sore
hearted for many a long day. Here.
where are assembled the agriculture scien-
lists turned out by a university, the great
state farm. where is assembled each year
at the State fair the samples of the best
in everything, where every citizen might
be presumed TO be an expert in the judg-
ing Of the merits Of corn and oats and
wheat and pumpkins, and competent to
conduct night school for the enlightenment
Of the urban-tainted farmers Of Douglas.
1t is too bad! It is exasperating.
In conclusion the Star seems to
think that the heaviest blow is yet to
come from Omaha continuously boast
ing the superiority of It's farmers owe
those of Lincoln. We trust the good
people of Lincoln, and Lancaster
county, will feel reconciled to their sad
fate. They still have the p%enitentiary,
the insane asylum and the Home for
the Friendless, to say nothing of Fair
view and a Neutrality-suspicious. tight lid,
all of which Omaha can only contem-
plate and envy. There is glory enough

Causes Of Typhoid.

Autumnal typhoid still has a way
Of appearing at customary seasons in
well nigh every region Of the country.
The health authorities in New York
find il this year rather worse than
usual. AS usual, it appears in the
dwellings OF the well-to-do as freely as
in the shacks Of the poor. Sanitation
does not prevent II, that is, not what
we generally call sanitation. 1t is an
intestinal disease, conveyed by drink or
food. The old theories of bad air,
sewer gas and damp houses have not
now much standing
1t 10 feared that some of the later
theories do not explain all the points
about autumn typhoid. The househy
does not. The condition of the water
supply. as being different in summer
and winter, does not. A plausible ex-
PLANTATION is that the profuse perspira-
ton with which in summer the body
eliminates a large amount of disease
breeding matter is reduced to a mini
mum almost instantly when the cool
days begin. The kidneys and bowels,
unaccustomed to the task, are bur
dened with dangerous material and I'M
able to perform the task of eltmina-
ton. 1t is at least common knowledge
that typhoid is most prevalent when
the cool weather sets in.
If that is not the cause, the wise
treatment, preventive n curative, is
exactly suited to deal with it. Typhoid
has not yielded as 1t should have done
to the efforts Of medical men. It has
not been conquered, though unques-
tionably reduced in severity and dan
ger. The n rule OF popular science
is that In August and September elm
NATIVE processes be kept in a state of
even more thar normal activity.

MR.. BRYAN's LITTLE SCHEME.
A BIT of Political Strategy that
Failed.
Minneapolis Journal.

Failed.
Minneapolis Journal.
The more the correspondence between
William ]. Bryan and President Taft Is
examined, the more does 1t appear that the
democratic leader tried to rush Mr.. Taft
into a position upon the direct election of
senators that would inure to the benefit
Of the democracy. From this 1t becomes
more clear tina the president was wise In
refusing to be rushed.
The direct election Of senator's demands
the passage Of an amendment to the con-
stitutIon. An amendment to the constitu-
ton requires the initiative of two-thtrds
OF the states, or of the congress of the
United States. Because ongress took the
initiative by proposing the income tax
amendment, Mr.. Bryan appeared to assume
that Il would, II Taft asked It, take the
same kind initiative upon the direct cleo
ton OF senators. This did not follow. The
income tax we have had enacted once, and
the congress of the United States was
urged by both parties to make it law
again. 1t did not do so. because In the
meantime the supreme court had declared
that 1t was unconstitutional Therefore. II
we ever rave IL again, we must have a
new DnId5o III lhS COlhlANubOls
Congress put 1t up to the states whether
they would nave the constitution changed.
But in the matter OF direct selection Of
senators 1t was ~manifestly impossible to
spring it upon congress, because the SEN
ate has never shown q disposition to take
tho initiative for a change in the method
of the election OF it's own members. The
president could hardly with propriety force
this upon the senate.
The direct election Of senators is being
experimental with in several Of the states.
The results are the same, even II the
method is extra-constitutional. The people
are examining those results and they are
doubtless content to give them careful
scrutiny before going into the busines
wholesale. II ia not as II q great reform"
was being battered from our doors By bad
men. We are slecting senator's by direct
vote every year. II they are so much bet
