The Milk in the Coooannt.

The Eearney Democrat thinks it has
an explanation coming from The Bee
because we used its plea for support
of Judge Dean as a democratic nomi-
nee for reelection to the supreme
court as illustration of the difficulty
which our democratic friends have en-
countered in their effort while preach
ing nonpartisanship to persuade the
people TO vote for all three of the DEM
ocratic nominees. The Kearney Dem
ocrat insists that it is so fairly nom
partisan that II has cut n Of the
democratic candidates in favor of
Judge Sedgwick, running as a repub-
lican, and reiterates the reason why it
retains Judge Dean on its slate to be,
because he is the only candidate for
the supreme bench who, as a member
of the court, supported the ideas Of the
Democrat regarding the (democratic)
nonpartisan judiciary law"
The Democrat declares hat it wants
to be consistent, and to be consistent
it must stay with the democratic Judge
who stayed with the democratic fake
nonpartisan law. I'VE are not sup
porting Judge Dean" it says, because
he is a democrat any more than we are
supporting Judge Sedgwick because he
is a republican Judge Dean has al
ready been accused, by the nonpar-
~tisans. of filing his dissenting opinion
solely to square himself with his party
and pave the way for an u~nopposed
nomination on the democratic ticket.
When a democratic newspaper has
to swallow its own candidate, "in spite
of the fact that he is a democrat" II
certainly looks as il it were on the de-
fensive.

Progress in Printing.

While the death Of Robert Hoe in
London last week constituted a news
item that scarcely interrupted the flow
of the C~ook-Peary controversy, the
contributions OF the Hoe family, of
which Robert Hoe was of the third
generation. to the progress of print
ing has already been of much more
service to humankind than the discov-
cry of the pole will ever be. Without
perfection of the printing press, with
inextricably linked. the spread of pop
ular intelligence, and the universaliz-
ing of education would have been i'm
possible.
The chasm bridged between the
Washington h%andpress on which Ben
Franklin printed his weekly paper,
and the great rotary cylinder mechan-
ism from which a modern newspaper,
like The Bee, is turned out at breath
less speed in one Transforming opera
ton, is equal to the jump from Hit
eTacy to Intellectually, and the most
important links in this chain we're
forged by the Hoes. Others, Of course
have contributed. and other inventions
to expedite collateral work, such as
typesetting and stereotyping, were
necessary for the perfection of the
printing press, yet all Of these would
have beer shorn of a large part Of
their value il the improvement in the
printing part had not come at the
same time. The name and the house
of Hoe will long survive the passing
of any of its members, no matter how
personally distinguished.

A Common Sense Sermon.

No one con read the Sabbath day
discourse Of President Taft in the
Tabernacle at Salt Lake without being
struck by the common sense side Of
the sermon. This is particularly true
OF the passages in which the president
pleads for less acrimony and more
charity in our public discussions and
deprecates the too ommon disposition
to impute dishonest and corrupt mo-
tives to every one whose views dis
agree with ours.
Mr.. Taft would have us adhere to
the time-tried rule of Law which is
the foundation stone OF our jurispru-
dence that every person accused Of
crime is innocent until proved guilty,
and to accord honest motives to our
antagonists until we have some evil
dence to the contrary. Mr., Taft might
have cited the fact that history has
rated most of our public men even
higher than the rank accordedLhem
during their lifetime, because the bias
and prejudice which questioned the
motives ~actuating them at the time
have been later cast aside, enabling us
to get a truer measure Of their virtues.
The severity of the competition for
political honors is doubtless account
able for the Injustice of much Of the
criticism and denunciation hurled at
our public men. 1t would plainly con-
duce to better public service and re-
move some of the obstacles which keep
many able men in private life II we,
as a people, would try to follow Mr..
Taft's advice to repress acrimony and
cultivate charity in our discussion Of
public measures.

control OF knowledge OF the insured.
Attention is called to the fact that so
many disastrous fires have occurred
caused by introduction Of decorations,
Nominations and special exhibitions
for spectacular display that the under
writer's have decreed a practical pro-
hibition except on safeguarded plans
and specifications first approved by
their representatives.
There is no question but that the
introduction Of electrical devices for
decorative effects has largely aug
mented the fire risk in these great cell
ebrations and that precautionary
measures are more needful than ever.
II goes without saying, too, that the
warning given in New York for the
Hudson-Fulton celebration is equally
applicable TO every other city whose
people disport themselves in similar
periodic festivities.

Sanity in Labor Disputes
St Louis Times

Eecurreut strikes In the United states,
bearing evil industrial effects and leaving
in their trail splsshes Of red blood. serve
to remind us Of our W lack Of sanity
and craftsmanship when we compare our
case with that Of our northern neighbor,
the calm and woll-balanced Our Lady Of
Snow.
In March. 1907. there went into opera
ton In Canada an act for the maintenance
Of industrial peace in all public utilities.
including mines. This was named the In
dustrial Disputes investigation Act. Its
salient feature was that In the event Of
a controversy between employer and emf
ploye in any industry known as a public
utility II should be illegal for either side
to declare a strike or lockout until an
investigation OF the case had been made
by the Board Of Cancellation and Inves-
tigation. established under specified rules
by the Canadian minister Of labor.
In the event Of controversy. either party
to the dispute was privileged to apply for
the appointment OF a board Of investiga-
-tion. to which he was also privileged to
name one Of three members. The other
party to the quarrel might then name an
other. These two could select a third.
Then Cancellation and arbitration began.
II one party declined to nominate q mem

Der for the board Of investigation, the act
empowered the minister Of labor 10 per-
form that office in his behalf. Inevitably,
then, arbitrstive proceedings began, II
either party applied for relief.
Mind YOU. meanwhile. by law, both
sides were prohibited from strike or lock-
out or overt act.
Now. what has been in two years the
result Of this sanity?
GU OF fifty-tlve cases In which applics-
ton was made for a board Of investisa-
ton. fiftv-three were settled without stop
page Of work.
The law permits a strike or a lockout
after the stated negotiations and attempts
at arbitration fail. But two in hfty-five
is a good record for common sense.
Cold discussion gives heated blood a
chance to cool. Men inspired by lodge
room oratory often vote to strike, when
I'm the stiffness Of their chambers they
would vote to keep on working. Directors
around a long table often refuse comprom-
ises, each resting upon his dividend-seek-
ing brother, which he would not dare
areue for before an impartial board.
Philadelphia and Pittsburg and Omaha
show us how much this misguided coun-
try might gain by passing a law like
that which in Canada is called the In
dustrisl Disputes Investigation act.

Timely and Pertinent.

The Examiner reads the Omaha
Ministerial association a timely and
pertinent lecture on the i~ll-advised
resolution. which the preachers passed
at the very inception Of the street car
strike opposing trade unions on prin-
ciple. In the whole membership of
the Ministerial association there is
probably not one who has ever en-
ployed ten laborers at a time, yet with
out any experience in labor disputes,
and without any 1rst-hand information
about the subjects at issue in the pend
ing strike, the preachers went blindly
on record not only against the strikers,
but against union labor in general.
The article we have referred to con-
cludes:
There is a constant plant by churChmen
at the indifference to church and religious
affairs shown by mechanics and laborers.
The latter stand aloof, saying that the min
listers are wholly in sympathy with the cap
italist class. The resolutions adopted by
the Ministerial association will tend to con-
firm this belief, and to that extent will do
the cause Of religion much injury. There
are other potent reasons why gentlemen Of
the cloth should keep out of heated con-
troversies that do not directly concern the
church. 4,
1t seems to us that ministers of the
gospel should be preaching peace, good
will and mutual concession, and that
even though few of them have any per-
manent interests in the community,
they should try to be governed by the
interests of those who are permanently
identified with the community and de-
pendent upon it's growth and pros
perity.

CANDoR WITH THE PEOPLE.
Taft's Discussion of Public
Questions.
Memphis Journal.

Memphis journal.
President Taft is not carrying across the
continent with him a bag of tricks.
In every speech that he makes he is eX-
posing his fun hand. He keeps nothing
back from the people, He argues before
them without reserve. As striking as the
concrete grasp of difficult questions which
he displays, is the entire candor, the abso-
Lutte frankness Of the man in his discus
sions.
The president is talking to the people on
the issues that confront us as he would to
a court OF appeals i'm a law case.
Politicians. not merely Of "a low order
Of intelligence" but Of a high order. never
have and never will understand this sort
Of man or this sort Of mans success. His
honest method spells foolishness TO them.
And even when the method proves its
virtue by the reward OF success with the
people. the politicians refuse TO credit their
senses, and stubbornly ascrioe TO accident
careers and achievement such as no mere
politician ever attainE,
David r. Hm was persuaded that Grover
Cleveland was a mailman, and when the
people responded 10 Cleveland he consid-
cred that they were also mad. About the
only public man who d]iscerned in the
young Roosevelt the promise OF 8 great
future was Cleveland himself.
Misrepresentation OF q man like Taft is
not only a moral misa apprehension, but also
an intellectual one. The simplicity, nay the
naivete Of a man like Tsft. as they con-
ceive him, is associated with q power Of

beusiou.

Celebration Hazard.

With the country at a point where
celebrations and iubilees are becoming
common, we are reminded Of the ex-
ira risk which is assumed in various
directions whenever we let loose for a
gala event. The hazard OF the big
celebration zones from the focusing
OF public activity under high pressure
in a small area. The danger TO life
and limb is thus inevitably increased.
The opportunities for loss by petty
theft are multiplied. Above all. the
exposure to fire is greatly accentuated
AS vi all know, there are concerns
which make II a business to assume
the risk in any hazardous situation by
Issuing policies for decentralization.
But these insurance companies, devoid
as they are OF sentiment, omit nothing
TO minimize the hazard. For the

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.
Possibility of Farmers Investing In
Railroad securities.
Glnn.nlnn A InnAnn

NiNNNlahh LSduSls
Secretary Wilson, of the Department of
Agriculture, is a very practical old gentle
man, enthusiastic though he has been in
his own vast field of Official activity ana
however far his visions of the coming de-
velopment OF agriculture in America carry
him. lie is not a dreamer of impossibilitles,
and there is much common sense in his
suggestion that If by means of federal
control of railroad capitalization, railroad
stocks and bonds were made safer aud
better known as good, conservative invest
ments, a large number Of American farm
ers would buy such securities. Even with
out such extension of governmental super
vision OF the great COmmon-caTrying cor
porations they are likely to have many
farmers for stockholders. There are not a
few such investors now, and as the older
and better manage railways gain credit
for entire safety and solidity there will be
more and more farmers In their long lists
Of stockholders.
The farther this coupling OF farmers
with railroad companies goes The better
IL will be for the nation. 1t will form a
new bond between city and country. II
will tend to more careful and thorough
consideration of railroad problems affect
Ing the people and the government, and the
railroad companies which have many farm
ers among their stockholders will have
greater reason than ever before to con-
duct themselves in such a manner that
neither their security-holders nor the great
agricultural class shall have valid cause
Of complaint. They will feel the pressure
Of a new ~steadying and restraining force
when their officials are tempted TO venture
upon dangerous OF forbidden sround.
Lawless, unjust and corrupt railroad
magnates have always been even more
dangerous, AZ a class, TO the owners of
sotcks and bonds issued by the companies
they controlled than to the public, What
ever tends to make railroad securities more
worthy Of that name-ssfer as investments
will help 10 solve several problems grow
ing out OF the power and activities OF the
great common carriers.

LIBRARIES IN RAE COUNTRY.
Another Plume in In intellectual
Hat of Nebraska.

st. Paul PiOneer-Press
Nebraska, long famous for its splendid
school laws, has taken another forward
step that well might be emulated in other
states, in providing library facilities for
the residents of the rural sections of the
state. By a law enacted by the last SEES
sion Of the Legislature, each school district
is required to set aside annually 10 cents
per pupil Of school age for the purpose OF
the upbuilding of a school district library.
This applies 10 all rural districts and vii
lagos in which the school population is
less that 5000 and the amount secured by
the operation of the law will form the
nucleus of a library system that will grow
from year to year,
The county school institutes OF the state
have been d~evoting particular attention to
the new Law, giving the teachers and
school directors expert instruction in
library work in order that the school au-
thorities may get a right start in library
building, both in the choice OF desirable
books and instruction TO the pupils as 10
how TO use them. one Of the woeful needs
OF children in the country heretofore has
been the dearth Of good reading matter
and facilities for securing It. The general
adoption Of the Nebraska plan for country
school district libraries will do much, we
are convinced, TO make the children Of the
farm more satisfied with their lot.
