A Perverted. idea.

That is a peculiar notion of rep
resentative government cropping out
in Mr.. Bryan's defiant declaration to
Lancaster county democrats that If
they did not send him as one of their
delegates to the Grand Island conven-
ton he would seek appointment as
delegate from some other county.
In Great Britain a man may sit in
PARLIAMENT for a constituency, which
he has never seen, but in this country
the theory of our government is that a
representative Of a legislative or con-
gressional district, or of the state,
must be an elector of the district for
which he is commissioned to speak.
For this reason a member of the leg
islature who moves out of his district
forfeits his position as a law-maker.
The same rule has been applied al
most invariably to political organiza-
tons, the purpose being to forestall
carpet-bagginC and to prevent misrep-
+resentation by outside interlopers. If
Mr.. Bryan, running for state conven-
ton delegate, were turned down in his
home county he would have no more
business to foist himself upon some
other county than he would have to
run for United States senator from
Texas or Oklahoma, where chances of
success might look better.
The very suggestion, however, re-
fleets the perverted ideas Of govern
ment with which Mr.. Bryan is impreg-
mated and which every little while ex-
pose the yellow streak in spite of him.

Taking Roosevelt's Advice.

Great Britain evidently did more
than merely vince at Colonel Roose-
velt's criticisms of its work in Egypt.
It seems to have received those criti-
cisms very seriously and indeed one
has a perfect right, in the light Of cur
rent events, to inquire If it has not de-
cided to act upon them.
What does the proposed displacement
of Sir Eldon Gorst by Lord Kitchener
as the British agent in Egypt indicate,
If not that Great Britain means to gov
ern with a firmer hand in this ancient
country? Lord Kitchener, If he is
finally appointed, is to be clothed with
large powers, and he is not the man
to rule with a gloved hand. Whether
1t will be the mailed fist or. not re-
mains to be seen, but the man who has
brought such distinction to British
arms believes in emphatic authority.
The recent execution of the assassin
OF the former premier, Butros Pasha
is taken by those critics of the situa-
ton as rejecting Britains complete
determination to make it's power more
assertive in Egypt. 1t must be re-
membered that for time 1t appeared
that the premier's assassin would go
unpublished. 1t was in fact this posi-
bility that provoked some of the
strong utterances on the part OF
Colonel Roosevelt
Thus far has Britain shown itself
acutely sensible to the need for Wig
orous action and it has seemingly
turned a deaf ear to the deprecating
cry that tightening its grip on power
In Egypt would be qualification of the
principle of popular government OF
autonomy. So far as that is con
cerned. no matter what Americans
may think on the subject, Britain has
never yet admitted that Egypt was
ready for complete self-government.

For a Practical Monument.

King George V is said to be even
more democratic in his private and
oficial conduct than was his illustri-
Gus father, King Edward VII, and
early in his reign he is dispelling all
doubt of his ability and disposition to
maintain the liberal policies which
characterized the rule of the late mon
arch and made him popular at home
and abroad.
The new sovereign evidently be-
lieves that a straight line is the short
est distance between two given points,
for he is cutting out all frills and fash
ions and going straight to the heart of
every question that comes before him.
In one Of his recent public acts he sets
an example which might we'll be emu
lated in the United States. When the
matter OF a monument to the memory
OF King Edward was preached the new
ruler told his people that in his judg-
ment the best and most enduring mon
ument to be erected would be the
raising of a fun of 100000 to
place the hospitals OF Great Britain
on q satisfactory basis. and 1t appears
this will be done.
Five million pounds-approximately
S24, 00o. 00O-would build a fine
statue OF marble or granite, or even
gold. and II would stand for ages as Q
sign for the psrpetuation Of the mem.

1t is said that the prospects of an early
resumption of the airship Deutschland's
passenger service are not bright. We really
doubt IL any person except the indomitable
Zeppelin himself and his hardy mechanics
will venture to make another "three-hour''
excursion in 1t unless guaranteed against
contact with rude-winds-and what profess
sional weather forecasser is skilled in the
upper currents?
Man has learned to fly-that is to say,
he has invented and operates machines that
fly-but he has not charted the air. He was
so eager to experiment with his diriglbIe
and aeroplane, fitted with gasolene motors
which had revolutionized aeronautics, that
he neglected to study the elements in which
his work was to be done, in which he might
have to pay the penalty of ignorance with
his life.
With kites carrying thermometers Prof
Abbott Lawrence Rotch made tests of air
velocities at different heights from his OBJ
servatory at Blue Hill, near Boston, several
years ago. BY measuring sailing clouds
triganometrically from base line he ascer-
tanned their velocity at heights of more
than six miles. Pilot balloons were sent up;
one was observed at an elevation of more
than eleven miles The air on Blue Hill
has a mean velocity for the year of 1873
miles an hour and Prof. Rotch calculated
the averages at various heights as follows:
At 500 meters, or one-third Of a mile above
sea level, 9S meters a second. or 21S miles
an hour; 1000 meters, 1917 meters a second /;
$500 meters 1876 meters a second; $500
meters, 1876 meters second 400 meters,
A9 meters a second; 600 meters, I'll
meters a second, and $500 meters (six
miles,, 1853 meters second, or S0S miles
an hour, He also established the fact that
the velocity of the upper winds in winter is
more than double that in summer, as high,
indeed, as 223 miles an hour.
Prof Rotch concludes, therefore, that
1.-The currents in the various levels of the
atmosphere are of vastly more Importance
to the aeronaut than are the ocean cur
rents or surface winds TO the sailor" At
high levels it is evident that no airshlp
could live, and as the air is more unstable
than the sea, the navigator, unless the
signs are plain and to be read in the move
ment and gathering of clouds. can never
be sure how long the winds will be kind
to him. There are days when they are laid,
and serenity is assured so long as the sky
is bare Of clouds. He may cast off and soar
and sail to his hearts content, although
even then he must have care not to rise
too far into the unknown. At other times,
in an element so uncertain and that may
be gauged by so few visible signs, how is
he TO know what fate to expect with no
saving medium like the substantial sea be-
meath his keel? To speak OF man as con-
quering the air is therefore mere poetry.

After Diaz. WhatY

Porfirio Diaz has just entered upon
another six years as president of Mex
leo, and if he should serve out this
term he would be So years old, with
thirty-six years Of that time spent as
the chief executive of his country.
The first question that naturally
arises at this time is, What has Diaz
to show for his remarkably long
tenure of Office, which has amounted
to almost a one-man power for thirty
years? Undoubtedly he has brought
his country UP to much higher stand
ard of political, Industrial and social
life than it occupied when he seized
the reins of government and, it may
be admitted, than it would have occu-
pied had another than him ruled. But
withal this progress II Diaz were to
die tomorrow 1t is doubtful If another
man could be found in the republic
with all the requisite resources to take
his place, counting popular influence
as one of these essentials. The weak
ness of the Diaz reign has been it's ap-
parent strength; Mexico was lost in
Diaz, Diaz is Mexico.
But, Of course, no man is indis-
pensable and the southern republic

leader were it to lose its present one

conviction naturally grows in the
minds of anti-Diaz men that the old

grip and that this is the signal fol-
them to tighten theirs, SO that when
the crisis comes they will be ready tc

The objectionable Sin.

Here are two quotations from two
distinguished democrats which may
possibly throw an illuminating glare
on the internecine war now waging In
the democratic fold. The first is from
Mr.. Bryan's speech before the demo-
cratic county convention at Lincoln, in
which, among other things, he said,
referring to the 1908 presidential cam
paign:
In Missouri lost by 900 votes and tue
influence OF the liquor association Is
enough to account for that. Go into In
diana. where a democratic governor and
legislature were elected, and into Ohio,
where the democratic candidate for gov
ernor was elected. where the antagonism
of the brewers to the national ticket was
sufficient to prevent our carrying the
state. In New York they were for Taft
and CHAMBER. and they had their agents
on the street instructing men to vote
that way. In Nebraska they would have
carried the state againstme II thousands
of republicans out of state pride, had not
given me their votes.
The second is from the written
statement given out by Governor Shall
lenberger, in which he declares:
1 received more votes when was
elected than any o,ner candidate ever re-
ceived in Nebraska for any office except
President Roosevelt in the campaign of
1904
Here we have the objectionable sin
laid bare, which completely over
shadows 1.-The moral question" in
volved in Mr.. Bryan's crusade for
county option. Governor Shallen-
berger got more votes than Mr.. Bryan
did, although the latter carried Ne
braska, as ne says, because of repub-
lican votes cast for him "out Of state
pride" In Ohio Mr.. Taft carried his
own state, but, according to Mr..
Bryan, that must be charged up, not
to democrats voting out of state pride,
but to democrats bought up by liquor
dealers Doodle.
Mr.. Bryan knows as well as he
knows anything that he carried his
own state of Nebraska in 1908 by a
scratch because of only two things
first, that bare-faced fraud perpe-
trated by misbranding his democratic
presidential electors with the populist
label, thus stealing the votes that be-
longed to tom" Watson, and second,
the money and votes poured in for the
straight democratic ticket by the brew
ers and liquor interests. Without
these two great moral forces all the
state pride votes he got would not
have saved Nebraska to him.
Incidentally we may possibly have
here, also, the explanation of Mr..
Bryan's hostile attitude toward Gov
ernor Harmon, whom he has notified

votes in Ohio than did Mr.. Bryan, and

One of the colored men who was

fifth infantry, and who was discharged
without honor on November %, 1905, with
other enlisted men of the company and who
Ia now eligible to re-enlistment under the
provisions of the act of March g. 1909, upon
the recommendation OF the Brownsville
court of inquiry, has raised some Inter-
esting questions which manifest thrifty
disposition. The man is employed In an
eastern city and has been informed that
he may re-enlist, being one. OF those ex-
cepted from the permanently disabling re-
suits of the Brownsville affray. He fore
sees that he may obtain back pay and al
lowances upon re-enlistment and he con-
templates this to the end that he may at
once purchase his discharge. which would
undoubtedly be a profitable transaction.
Under a decision of the department, the
soldier would not receive pay for the un-
expired portion OF the enlistment which
was interrupted by his discharge without
honor. He will become entitled to receive
pay for the period beginning November rs,
1906. and ending with the date OF his re-
enlistment The act Of March g. 1909, does
not operate to affect the character OF the
discharge certificate, nor does it confer
authority upon the War department to
amend its records so as to "show that the
soldier received an honorable discharge"
AS to the purchase or discharge after re-
enlistment, it is held It Is not necessary
that a soldier who has become eligible to
re-enlistment through the finding OF
court OF inquiry should continue to serve
in the army indefinitely, but 1t is held that
there should be a substantial period OF &C
tive service before application for discharge
by purchase are entertained, The secre-
tary of war has decided that one year after
re-enlistinent, under the provisions Of the
law. will be regarded as a reasonable time
TO serve before a man can purchase his
discharge.

of pure brutality and pugilism. With prize
fighting virtually doomed, and the senti-

likely that there will soon be drastic modi-

annually costs more lives than pugilism.
