II is doubtless good democratic poll
tics for the democratic organs TO do all
they can to stir up dissension among
republicans and TO give aid and com-
fort to any republicans who manifest
a disposition to help foment factional
discord. Why a republican should vol
unteer to play in with the democratic
game is not very clear, because the
democrats, while willing to use dis
affected republicans to procure demo-
cratic aseendancy in Nebraska, are sure
to turn on their allies whenever there
is a straight party lineup just as Mr..
Bryan has already turned on the In
surgent senators and congressman,
whom he coddled before adjournment.
The position Of Nebraska republic
ans is not to be distorted by democratic
cries OF "Cannonism and Aldrichism."
Republicans OF Nebraska as a body
stand with President Taft In the mat
ter Of tariff revision and regard the
tariff bill as finally passed as embody-
ing most Of the presidents demands.
When the republican state platform
was promulgated less than two months
ago this is the message that was sent
to the president and to Nebraska's
representatives in congress:
We approve, commend and undualifiedly
endorse the stand taken by President Taft
In the matter OF tariff revision. We are
counting on/him to see to It that the party's
platform promise Of revision is redeemed
by the enactment OF a tariff bill accept
able to the people. and we would approve
the exercise OF his veto on any bill that
did not conform to his construction of the
platform pledge which he has said means
revision downward within the limitations
Of the protective principle" We look to
our senators and representatives in con-
gress to sustain the president in this posi-
tlon, and we commend them for their eff
forts in support Of the party's pledges and
the presidents policies.
This declaration was presented as
the unanimous report Of the resolu-
lions committee committee which,
by the. way, was appointed by the
chairman Of the convention as his free
choice among the whole list Of dele
gates. The resolutions, moreover,
were adopted by the convention with
out a dissenting vote, and there were
sitting in that convention representa-
tive delegates from all parts of the
state and from all elements of the
party. This platform declaration
doubtless had much to do with bring
ing Nebraska's republican representa-
tives to support the bill after 1t had
been modified to the satisfaction Of
the president. On this declaration
every one who wants to call himself a
republican ought to be able to stand.

Congressional Apportionmsnt.

Congressman Crumpacker. chairman
Of the ensus committee, will have
much to do with the question of ap-
portionment under the new census, a
question which is now agitating all the
members. 1t is premature to consider
the reduction Of southern representa-
ton on the ground that it is uncon-
stitutional in limiting the suffrage,
though that serious question has not
by any e a been laid aside, The
problems that must be faced as soon
as the count is made begin with the
number Of congressman to be fixed
upon. The number In the last appor-
tionment was Ss6. enlarged by Ave
after Oklahoma was admitted. The
ratio OF population to each member is
194.1s2. The house space is crowded
now, but the plan to replace the desks
with benches may emove that trouble.
II is expected that the census will
show a very large relative increase Of
population in the west and a loss Of
congressman in the east. This posi-
bility. which has always played a part
In apportionment. will this time lead
to close figuring and possibly some
acrimony.

Evidence Of the near approach of the

beginning of work on the street decora-
tions, among the most imposing of which
will be thlrty-six pillars In Fifth avenue.
between Forticth and Forty-second streets,
the erection of which is now under way.
OF white stucco work, and surmounted
with Corinthian caps and huge gilded
balls, the pillars will tower fifty-flve feet
above the sidewalk. There will be eight
cen on each side OF the street and wires
will be strung between them, from which
many electric lights will be suspended.
The pillars will be thirty-two feet apart.
TIT pillars will be works of beauty.
On pedestals seven feet square at the base,
and resting partly on the street and partly
on the sidewalk, will stand cylindrical col
umns thirty-six feet high and five feet in
diameter. The pedestals will be more
than eight feet high. At the top of the
columns will be caps in the Corinthian
style of architecture, richly ornamented
with foliage, and bearing on each of the
four sides the letters III. F." a foot high.
Surmounting the cap will be a gilded
ball, which, with its base, win add nearly
seven feet to the height of the pillars.

Definite plans have been adopted for a
cooperative kitchen IN a block OF typical
New York flats. The block houses ninety
five families, averaging five persons each,
OF nearly $50 persons for whom food win
be provided. A strip Is to be taken from
the yards OF perhaps ten houses and there
on is to be erected a three-story cooper
atfve building. This structure is to be three
stories high, with a laundry In the base
ment, store rooms and receiving court on
the first floor, and a kitchen on the sec
ond. Between this building and the con-
,tributory dwellings covered ways extend.
so that the housewife can communicate
with the kitchen or laundry with ease,
Here all the cooking and all the laundry
work Of the block can be done.
The scheme enables each housekeeper to
determine precisely the sort Of dishes she
wants. Those who prefer to do their own
shopping can have their provisions sent
home and delivered to the kitchen merely
to be cooked. In some cases the house
keepers of a block might agree on a
series OF meals on the table d'hote plan.
Anyhow, there can always be a series Of
dishes or classes of meals from which
people In the block can order at pleasure
1t is estimated from statistics as to the
actual cost of meals in New York hotels
that with the new scheme the cost to
each Individual will be less than a dollar
a day. Charles r. Lamp, a New York
artist, Is responsible for the scheme. He
finds 1t an obvious proposition that a cook,
occupied steadily for eight hours a day.

started, with forty members OF the United

station, foot Of East Eighty-ninth street.
through He'll Gate to Classon's Point, a
distance of about eight miles. Miss Trap
covered the distance in two hours and a
half, but Miss Higgins was seized with
cramps after swimming five and one-half
miles, and was compelled to withdraw
from the race.
At no time during the long swim did
Miss Trap show signs Of distress. She
breasted the currents and stuck gamely
to her self-imposed task. while one by
one the men were forced to give up the
effort. Fifteen of the original forty
starters were lifted out of the river,
worn out and exhausted, hut this fact
did not cause Miss Trap to weaken.
With a determination born OF a firm re-
solve to swim the entire distance, the
plucky Brooklyn school teacher set at
defiance a hard squall which blew up
when the were off Rikers'
island. She reached Classon's Point just
as the last man was drawn out of the
water. Miss Trap underwent the or
deal in splendid style. She did not seem
even exhausted when the end of the
journey was reached.
The test was an unusually severe one
and several Of the contestants were res
cued in a state Of collapse. The swim
mers were each accompanied in a boat
in which there were \ two attendants
