Then and Now.

The Bee has reminded Douglas
county voters Of the scandalous after
math of the democratic legislature two
years ago, when adjournment found
our $500 lawmakers vOyaging to Eu-
rope, the Sandwich islands, California
and other health resorts and display
ing outward signs of afluence never
before suspected. 1t was to have
been supposed that the local democ-
racy would turn over a new leaf and
relegate this bunch of disreputables to
the rear, but a glance at the makeup
of the democratic legislative ticket
must convince that this is the kind Of
a crowd the democrats prefer. The
only member of the last Douglas dele
cation with decent record who stood
for denomination was turned down,
and four Of the same old disreputables
have been endorsed to go back with
company of similar stripe. At the
democratic meeting at Sheely the other
night two of the democratic candidates
for state senator are said to have APP
peared in an intoxicated condition. ON
the democratic house ticket one candi-
date is under indictment for embezzle-
ment in Colorado and another was in
dicted for bribery while member of
the South Omaha School board. There
are two or three hitherto unblemished
names in the list, but as whole the

Is He Tneligiblel

Among other things, the constitu-
ton Of Nebraska contains this pro-
vision;
Any person who is in default as collector
and custodian Of public money OF property
shall not be eligible to any office Of trust
or profit under the constitution and laws
Of this state.
In other words, the trainers Of our
constitution regarded such betrayal
of public trust as so heinous an ofense
as to call for disbarment from public
service even though the person guilty
of incorporation had not been con-
victed. 1t is true that the words,
collector and custodian" narrow the
scope of the prohibition, but the inten-
ton was unquestionably to make incl
igible anyone who had converted pub
lio money or property to his own use
and failed to put it back.
Congressman Hitchcock, running for
United States senator, has admitted
that he borrowed money from BARLEY
while he was state treasurer, knowing,
as he must have, that BARLEY was
loaning state funds, and the state is
still out several thousand dollars
which he has refused to repay. If
Mr.. Hitchcock had come into posses
sion of This money as a collector and
custodian of public funds he would be
clearly, on his own confession, incl
igible to the Office he seeks. On a
technicality, because BARLEY as state
treasurer was the collector and Gus
todian" and Hitchcock only received
the money illegally through BARLEY
he might set up another statute of
limitations and plead that this prohibi-
ton does not apply to him. Morally
however, If not legally, Mr.. Hitchcock
is ineligible because he is in default
as unofficial custodian of public money

Railway Commissioner Clarke.

State Railway Commissioner Henry
T. Clarke, jr., is up for reelection.
He was originally appointed by Gov
ernor Sheldon to fill vacancy and
was chosen in his own right for the
unexpired term at the subsequent cleo
ton. He has been a member of the
commission now for nearly four years
and a potent factor in the commits
sion's work. Although confronted
with many a perplexing problem, he
has tried to do the right thing for all
interests involved and has succeeded
notably in bringing about more Just
and equitable relations between the
railroads doing business here In Ne
braska and their patrons and en-
ployes. The retention of Mr.. Clarke
in this responsible position should
have been conceded, but inasmuch as
the democrats have nominated against
him a candidate with no experience or
special fitness except a record of sub
serviency to railroad lobbyists, it de-
wolves upon the voters to give Mr..
Clarke a decisive majority.

FIXING ELECTION DAY.
why the "Tuesday After the First

New York Times

New York Times.
The congressional act Of March 1, 1872,
had prescribed that elections for presiden-
tial electors be held within thirty-four
days preceding the first Wednesday in
December every fourth year" But the
Congressional Globe Of January II, 1915,
records the passage on that day of
bill making the Quadrennlal election day
uniform throughout the United stateA on
December 0, 1874, the essential provision
Of the bill read:
The next regular stated election for the
choice of electors of president and vice
president OF the United States shall be
held in each state on the first Tuesday
in the month Of November, 1S4Si and on
the first Tuesday In the month Of
November In every fourth year thereafter
This fixed upon the first Tuesday not
the first Tuesday after the first Monday"
But Representative Duncan, the father
Of the bill, at once announced his in
tenton of changing It, for the Globe re-
portsi
las soon as 1t would be in order to do
so, he (Mr. Duncan) should move an
amendment of this section so as to make
the day the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November, instead OF the first
Tuesday in November, as the section now
stood. His reason for making this change
was to avoid the necessity OF changing
the laws in relation to the day on which
the electoral colleges now meeti for the
first Tuesday in November might, in some
cases, be more than thirty Csic) days from
the first wednesday in December"

Mr. Bryan is about to favor Omaha
with another campaign speech. The
last time he spoke here he devoted the
prelude to uncomplimentary remarks
about The Bee and its editor simply
because we had called his attention to
the fact that the hall he had hired
was over a saloon and belonged to a
brewery. While he has been more
careful this time to hire a hall sepa-
rated from a brewery, be evidently has
not yet taken out a bill Of divorce be-
cause he comes here to put in a word
for Hitchcock for senator while oppos-
ing Dahlman for governor, although
the brewers combine has hitched them
both together and their campaign is
being made jointly with brewers
money.
II Mr.. Bryan really wanted to shake
of brewery control Of the democratic
party he would be denOunoing Hitch
cock even more than he is denOuncing
Dahlman. In fact, Mr.. Bryan, II he
wants to live up to his professions of
favoring only clean and honest men
for public Office, has an even greater
reason to oppose Hitchcock, confessed
partner in the BARLEY treasury short
age, than he has to oppose Dahlman,
who never pretended to be anything
but what he is. Mr. Bryan had con-
elusive proof before he started on his
present campaign tour that Hitchcock
was the brewery candidate as much as
Dahlman, so we have no idea that
what we say now will have any effect
upon him except possibly to produce
few oratorical jibes at our expense.

Put Corn Into Live Stock.

The excessive corn crop this year
has led some gram authorities to OBJ
serve that the only way to absorb the
surplus of supply and re-establish a
healthy relation with demand is to re-
duce prices of corn to a level which
will open new outlets and stimulate
the ordinary avenues of distribution. "
All authorities do not coincide with
this view. Some believe that a much
more simple and direct solution is to
increase the number of feed cattle and
hOgs-put more corn into the finished
product, thereby serving the dual pur-
pose Of providing an outlet for the
corn's consumption and increasing the
revenues arising from its production.
The other theory seems to have
speculative faint to 1t which brings It
the least bit into question. BY all
means nothing should be done that
would in any way convert the enor-
nous corn crop into means OF facili-
tating speculation.
AS a matter of fact, the excessive
supply Of corn this year comes after
about four years OF diminished hog
and cattle raising, 80 that the surplus
seems all the greater. But the neces-
sity, as well as the profit of stock
feeding, has already been recognized
to a degree that prompts the predic-
ton by stockmen that this winter will
be notable for both hog and cattle
feeding in states like Nebraska, Iowa
and Kansas. II has begun already.
The big raising states like Montana
and Wyoming are shipping OF prepar-
ing to ship enormous herds into this
midwest section for fattening pur-
poses. Here. then, is an "outlet" for
this surplusage Of corn. Experts say
It will be entirely adequate to balance
the scales in the law OF supply and de-
mand and that it preeludes the ooca-
sion for any anxiety as to the general
situation.
Farmers in the immediate vicinity
of Omaha, as well as over all these
states mentioned, are awake to the
fact that large profits are to be made
in feeding and many Of them are get
ting hold OF all the stock they can
handle for this winter. Many expert
hog men figure that one bushel of corn
will make ten pounds of pork. This
being true, with pork at present
prices, what could offer more encour-
agement to the farmer than this very
expedient, to say nothing of his cattle?
II the country is to be swamped with
corn crop such as it has just pro-
duced, the maximum average per acre
of which is only BIS bushels, what will
happen when the farmers get 60 real
izing larger results on their experience
with intensified culture when they are
producing so per cent more per acre
or even 25 per cent than they
are now? This talk Of a Wholesale
lowering OF corn prices does not seem
to offer a rational solution at all, 50
long as the more natural step in the
process Of corn and live stock produc
tion of feeding is being largely over.

lain almost entirely with the pro
ducers themselves aud now that they
