Playing Politics Already.

United States senator from New Jersey

overload of that state. has played his

while presumably inheritng the political
principles of his native south, has not
been aggressiyely associated with intense
partisanship. The suppositon of Mr.
Smith and his fellow directors OF the

Railey,s OILY Warning.

Senator Bailey of Texas, one of the
democratic presidential candidates,
drawing his robes of righteousness
about him, in commenting on the cleo
ton returns from Maine, says:
t"I expect to see the men responsible for
the future of our party behave them
selves with a wisdom and patriotism
worthy of the best days of democracy"
Good! Now. let these naughty men
quit their meanness and come into the
fold. Who better than Senator Bailey
knows the need of such reform? Who
better than he realizes the disadvan-
tage of having to explain private
transactions Of public man to the
people at large? Indeed, let all demo-
cratic leaders behave themselves.
There is something oily about the
words of Senator Bailey. They seem
to suggest Waters-Pierce and 1908.
But welcome, always, is the man who
repents. Senator Bailey is right in
the chief import of his warning No
party. loaded down with leaders for
whom it must apologize. can expect to
win. 1t should never be necessary for
the men responsible for the future
of the party" to have to advise a
United States senator either to remain
away from the party's national con-
vention. or attending, to take no active
part. That is embarrassing People
on the outside may not understand
that it means nothing. Nor is it ever
wise or helpful for a party to have to
ask its national treasurer to resign in
the middle of a campaign to rid it of
the incubus of his bad name and rec
ord.
1t would have been more significant
had this warning come from Okla
homa, but even from Texas 1t should
carry some influence.

Wilson has been and is being used as

past-master politicians.
One is bound to inquire. how does
the president Of old Princeton like it.?
Also. will he continue, now that he
must know what is going on. to stand
for il? Does he want the office bad
enough to become the instrument for
foisting upon the state political
clique OF the old spoils system? II
so, then where is the advantage Of the
scholar in politics?
In some way or other, Dr. Wilson
should rebuke his campaign managers,
His friends are likely to expect this of
him. They believe in him and his
words. He has not been slow to de-
nounce trickery in politics, and now he
should not hesitate to use his influence
to put it out OF politics, even at the
cost of personal sacrifice.

Failure of Fusion

The sacred cause of fusion in Ne
braska received another large uplift
at Lincoln Tuesday. The council of
the populist party allowed its ticket to
go headless through the campaign,
thus endorsing in effect the claim
made by the editor of The Bee who
insisted that the filing of Governor
Shallenberger as a candidate for gov
ernor on the populist ticket was a
fraud on the voters. Mr.. Shallenber-
ger received the populist nomination,
but despite his pledge to abide by the
result of the primary has refused to
run. A few more such fluctuations
as this may bring the voters of Ne
braska to their senses. At present the
Jugglery of party names with intent to
deceive, even though it may have the
technical support of law, is becoming
notorious and tends to discourage the
honest voter who seeks to express his
conviction through the medium of an
established and recognized political
party.
IL the populists in. Nebraska are to
maintain the integrity of their organ
ization, they should do so without hug
germuggering perpetually with the
democrats, whose only interest in the
populist party is to secure it's endorse
ment for democratic candidates, who
decline to accept the same when not
convenient. II the populists are to
maintain a third party, they should do
so in such a way as will give their
voters an opportunity TO vote for
party candidates.

official Activity in Politics.

According to a recent ruling by the presi-
dent, federal employees in Washington liv-
ing in the smaller suburbs may take part
in the political affairs OF their home towns
and even hold office without incurring the

This is common sense and worthy of appli-
cation in the Interpretation OF the general
rule against political activity on the part
OF the officeholder. A man forfeits neither
his rights nor his responsibilities of citizen

Whose Pulli

What interests are so powerful that
they can go to the city council and
quietly stop an improvement that is
intended to benefit the city as a whole?
The proposed postal sub-station at the
Union depot is not a private enter
prise. 1t is intended solely to improve
the postal service in Omaha. Its cree
ton will facilitate the handling of
mails, both incoming and outgoing,
and will save from one to two hours
in the delivery of mail in the jobbing
district. The matter mas long been
under consideration between the Post
office department and the Union Pa
cific railway. An arrangement was
finally reached whereby the building
was to have been constructed. The
city granted a special permit but a few
days ago. Now the council passes
without debate a resolution to rescind
that permit and to instruct the city
attorney to take all legal steps possible
to prevent the erection OF this build
ing. This is done without debate or
without public clamor. The most
natural question that arises in this
connection is, Who has such control
over the city council to achieve such
a result?

of late, belongs to Canada. In fact,

ada has been rather independent in

now, while the Dominion government

among business interests, manufactur-

should be understood, therefore, that
the popular demand for it this side
of the line is not sufficient in itself to
bring about immediate results. Pres
ident Taft will be satisfied if as much
as an opening wedge may be driven

to suppose that any definite terms OF

consummated by ratification of the

unnecessary, Others contend that as

Is the Rocker Doomed Z

Some furniture dealers tell us the
rocking chair is doomed. that it must
give way to fashion. They insist upon
the straight period" style in mouse
furnishing and advise us that it wouls
never do to have the harmony of a
we'll ordered home broken by the ap-
pearance of a rocker.
Indeed! But II is our opinion that,
much as they bow to fashion, Ameri-
can people in this instance will stand
upon their rights and hold to an old
comfort. What do they care whether
ancient or medieval kings and queens
sat upon the floor, in straight-back
chairs, or reclined on divans and
sofas? They also wore sandals or
went barefooted, and burned oil or
tallow dip. No, we have made all
the concession necessary to We olden
times, as in our styles of architecture,
dress and other articles of house fur
nishing Instead Of giving up the
rocker because Julius Caesar or
Queen Elizabeth did not have one, we
should feel sorry for them and re-
joice all the more in the blessings and
comforts of the twentieth century.
1t is not a matter of concern to the
average American whether the rock
ing chair conforms to art or not; It is
mighty restful to tired back and a
weary brain, and so long as it is it is
likely to have a happy home wherever
it may be, and that is in about every
home in this land.
