x NONPARTIsANsHIP

Schuyler Free Lance: The nonpar-
tisan' talk put up by the democrats in
this campaign is very flat. They are
"nonpartisan'' when they want to get re-
publican votes, but otherwise the term is
forgotten.
Howells Journal (dem): We are much
pleased to see the Commoner come out
square-toed for the three democratic nomi-
nees for the supreme bench. 1t is a good
example to the democratic press Of the
state. Judge Dean is as much entitled to
the support of his party associates as is
either Sullivan or Good. We hope every
ColfaX county democrat viii remain true
to Judge Dean.
Plattsmouth News-Herald: The ~nonpar-
tisan'' cry which is being sent up by the
democratic editors Of the state looks pretty
good to a fellow IL he didn't have a vivid
picture in his mind of that last democratic
legislature where dozens of bills were in
troduced for no other reason than to change
the laws so that a democratic governor
could appoint democrats to the offices
W Which would be made vacant II such bills
were made into laws.
Kearney Democrat: For the edification
of the esteemed Omaha Bee. the Demo-
crat desires to inform it that the Com
moner does not have a thing in the world
to do with what the Democrat thinks and
believes. Mr.. Bryan may, and probably
does, do just as he pleases about making
platforms and standing upon them, and
the Democrat does those things which 1t
believes to be right and for the best in
terests of our supreme court and the pub
lie, whether It suits the Commoner or The
Bee, both of which would be nearer right
IL they would follow the Democrat a lit
tie closer and cease to play politics into
every walk of life.
Seward Blade: When the, constitution
atty OF the fake ''nonpartisan'' judiciary
act was attacked in the courts the demo-
cratic politicians threw a fit and prated
about the sacred character OF all the acts
Of the democratic Legislature as II they
were holy and beyond the review of any
earthly tribunal. The tune changed when
Judge j. j. Sullivan, their own democratic
nominee for the supreme bench, tackled
the corporation tax law by the same i'm
maculate bunch of democratic legislators
and proceeded to show hat 1t was Of no
force and effect. The howl about the
unimpeachable character of democratic
legislation suddenly ceased. A mighty
sight" depends on whose OK is gored.

Safeguards for Civic Pensions.
New York Tribune.

Undoubtedly the greatest obstacle to
popular approval of a system of pension
ing -superannuated federal employees is the
fear that IT will be abused, the pension list
unwarrantably extended and admission to
the list made easy The one method OF
avoiding such abuses will be for congress
to put beyond its power the authority to
make employees eligible for pensions, pre-
clseiy as it has put beyond its power the
right to name the large majority OF federal
employees. The pension u should be
raised by assessments levied on the salaries
OF employees, and after the law is adopted
authority TO make regulations affecting
eligibility should be vested solely In the
Civil Service commission.

Fate of historic Relics.

Mans p~roneness to seize upon the
skeletons of departed glory in an effort
to utilize the structure from which the
high lights have faded is illustrated by
the breaking up Of the old British
man-of-war Wellington to the purposes
of IN American millionaire. The
huge teak timbers, reconstructed into
a spacious dining hall, will emphasize
the irony Of fate. Once resisting alike
the fury Of Neptune and the onsl rught
of battle, now they will serve as raft
ers, ringing with a cheer on land such
as they never knew on sea. Rule,
Britannia" echoes will be disturbed by
THE Star-Spangled Banner" and
toasts will resound to democracy's
cause amid the bones OF a gallant war
ship once dedicated in the name Of the
hghtlng duke who was first of all for
the crown' and to the last opposed to
popular government.
The conflict OF sentiment with the
.aetualities Of life is ending, but
such an incident as this serves as a
reminder Of the once-threatened dis
membering Of our own f'old Iron
sides,' when sentiment for once pre-
vailed Over the assaults Of cold practi-
Ieality.

Time for Sanity.

II is announced that the president Of
the national organization, in whose
name the, street car strike in Omaha
was declared, is about to visit the city
to look into present strike conditions
with a view to taking such action as
they may warrant.
Nothing is to be gained by the strik-
ing car men trying to fool themselves,
or to involve other labor organizations,
in a battle already lost. When we
say that, according to all external evil
dence, the battle has been lost to the
strikers we do not mean that there
have been no c~ompensating benefits.
But these benefits, which consist of the
redress of certain grievances and a
promise Of higher pay, and an aroused
public sentiment In favor Of some sort
OF arbitration legislation to prevent
recurrence, are already achieved and
will hardly be materially changed by
the continuation Of a nominal strike.
If the head Of the street car mems
organization declines to be misled by
O~ver-zealous associates and ascertains
the real situation he will advise for
NAL declaration that the strike is on,
expressing thanks Il those who helped
the cause with sympathy or money,
and urge strikers and strike sym
pathizers to discourage further vio-
lence to street railway property or in
reference with street railway en-
ployes, and lay down the rule to build
up without tearing down.

Charles w. Morse, the New York expo
nent OF high finance whose conviction and

Of appeals the other day, is said TO have
paid off all his debts with the exception
Of $4,000. When Morse got out OF the
Tombs, June II last, his affairs were I'm
what his w lawyers admitted to be a
hopeless tangle, They confessed they saw
no chance OF saving anything from the
wreck and frankly told Morse so. At that
time Morse was confronted with clam
orous army OF creditors to whom he
owed $500 OOO. At the beginning of the
panic, In October, 1907, he was worth
$22. 600, 900. The depreciation in security
values that followed cut this fortune into
less than half, for the Morse securities
were about the hardest hit Of all. Mr..
Morse didn't say so, but he is determined
TO recover the ownership of his home M
rs Fifth avenue. He is still living there
