Trying to Gust him from ONCE" Is
the caption over the portrait OF Chief
of Police Donahue printed in our ami
able democratic contemporary That
tells the whole story. The democrats
and their brewery allies need a scape-
goat and are therefore trying to Dust
Chief Donahue from office They are
not trying to Gust Mayor Dahlman
from Office, although he is the chief
executive Of the city, with the police
subject to his orders. They are not
trying TO Gust County Attorney Eng
fish from ONCE. although he is the
prosecuting attorney charged with the
prosecution Of all law violators. No,
of course not, for the mayor and the
county attorney we're both elected to
Office as democrats and no democratic
governor would ever order a demo-
cratic attorney general to try to Gust
them.

II appears that several European
powers are exercised over a pro-British
speech Commander Sims of the good
ship Minnesota made at a banquet in
London. But post-pTandial ebullitiOn

Uncle Sam probably will consider this
fact in dealing with the commanders

the commander was sufficiently in con-
troll OF the situation to assure his hear
ers that he spoke entirely for himself
and not in any sense for his govern
ment, or even as an oficial in the
American navy.
-After-dinner- speeches at best are
treacherous affairs so far as becoming
real mediums of expressing a mans
soberest views. But they are so wholly
eifervescent in character as TO ridicule
the idea Of attaching profoundly Sc
rious import to their consequences.
Al least that Is the general flow OF
experience in the United States, and
there is no reason to believe it is any
less fluent around the banquet boards
OF England. Johnny Bull is known to
be a very fine host. even n connoisseur
in some viands. Il Is quite within the

this occasion, honored by the presence
Of high ofhcers Of American battle

HIGHER Level of Immigrants.

Many encouraging features of the
immigration situation are disclosed in
the immigration commissioner an
nual report In the FIRST place the
large majority of newcomers in the
last fiscal year were so far from the
pauper class as to bring the total
money wealth of the 1,19s,O00 up to
S2s,197,00O, or making a per capita
of about S27. OF course some of this
money was in the possession OF those
$500 non-immigrants, aliens COM
ing over here temporarily, or return
ing from visits to their native land,
but the general average of finances
for the actual immigrants was high.
Then illiteracy among the immigrants
showed a slight decrease.
There were 2l4,OOO unskilled labor
CTS and $4,000 skilled laborers, which
lis a very good showing, especially in
Jew Of the fact that in the same year
more than four times as many un-
skilled as skilled laborers left the
United States to return to their foreign
homes. Alien contract labor importa-
tlon as a system seems not to have
been carried on. though some laborers
Of this kind got into the country.
On the whole, the class OF aliens
coming into tho United States is very
much higher than It has been, and
there is ample ground for believing
that even this complicated problem
will yet be solved TO the satisfaction
of most reasonable people The presi-
dent the secretary Of commerce and
labor and the immigration commits
sioner are devOting earnest thought to
its solution and will send TO congress

Is worthy special attention In the sta

Dealing with Kidnapers.

All good citizens, and particularly
the mothers and fathers of The land,
must feel like congTatulating the New
York judge who gave two convicted
kidnapers the limit of the law, impos-
ing upon them indeterminate sentences
of from twenty-five to forty-nine years.
Fortunately the laws of that state ena-
Bile the court to mete out this deserved
punishment.
Too many states have Oeen laA In
their legislation dealing with this and
other similar forms of criminality.
And even where states have been
awake to the enormity of kidnapping,
many courts have slumbered. Kid
naping is one crime for which not the
remotest palliation can decsntly be
offered, and for which no one can
plead that it be condoned. It is far
reaching in its outrages upon the
home, society and the law. 1t has
been tolerated, passively, far too long
in this country, where it has been
practiced too often with comparative
impunity. This. of course, has en-
boldened the criminals and iptfenched
them in their nefarious outlawry, too.
far more securely than people might
imagine. That ought to be apparent
in the dificulty encountered in at
tempting to convict where the evil
dence has seemed entirely sufficient.
kidnapping must be punished up to
the maximum II it is to be broken up.
1t is part of that most truculent class
of eriminality, blackmailing, which is
so hard to handle and venomous in
its results. Bands of these conscience
less scoundrels, who make their living
by stealing children and pulling at the
heartstrings of parents until they ex-
tort blood-money, have been operating
in different sections of the country
with shocking facility and immunity.
Nor should other courts presume too
far on the efficacy of one example of
punishment to effect complete cure.
1t is something that must be dealt
with severely in every case where the
guilt is certain and the law permits.

In a public statement +. b Quack-
enbush, who Is being pushed by the
dry democrats for speaker Of the inn
pending legislature. brings out the
logic Of the wtde-open primary, which
is for q primary still wider open MIR.
Quackenbush not only fayors retain
ing the open feature OF the present
primary which permits every voter to
help nominate the candidates for any
political party he chooses, but he
would open the door further so the
voter could vote for any candidate for
any place on any ticket and thus help
nominate candidates of all the various
political parties at one and the same
time.
The open primary as inflicted on us
by the last democratic legislature pal
pably destroys the integrity of the
party by enabling members of one
party to make up the ticket of the OPP
posing party, and this proposed wider
open primary would make party nomi-
nations meaningless. II would intro
duce into Nebraska something very
similar to the by-electlons in European
countries, where one election is held
and II no one secures an absolute ma
iority a second election decides be-
tween the two polling the highest
number of votes in the preliminary
election
What a wider open primary, and our
present wide-open primary also, would
lead to can be seen by imagining it ex-
tended to the choice of delegates to
platform conventions and to national
nominating conventions. Suppose our
primary law we're to invite democrats
to write republican platforms and de-
termine who should stand as repub-
lican nominees for president and vice
president, and vice versa. Suppose
such a primary were extended to in
clude the membership of the party or
ganization and permitted avowed
democrats to choose the chairmen and
committees to manage the republican
campaign and vice versa The mere
statement suggests the vicious posi-
bilities.
Party government is either desira-
BILE or undesirable Our open primary
law should either be thrown wider
open or be closed tighter shut

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SOUTH
Notable Disregard OF Partisanship
and Sectional Lines.
HaTper's Weekly,

and Sectional Lines.
Harper's Weekly.
There is no doubt that the country was
surprised when the president made a south
erner and a former confederate soldier
chief justice and nominated another south
ern democrat for associate justice OF the
supreme court. But there Is no indication
that any part of the country became in
dignant or frightened Forty years ago
such appointments would have been incon,
oeivabe. Twenty years ago a republican
president would hardly have dared to
make them. Even today, although a presl-
dent OF almost any persuasion might feel
free to disregard sectional lines in ap.
pointing TO such high places, TO cross party
lines 30 freely IL not so common, but II Ia
doubtful II any republican president we
have yet had would have been. under the
circumstances, drawn so strongly south
ward as President Taft was. His freedom
from craftsmanship and his disregard Of
sectional feeling arc both rather striking
Perhaps his own experience on the bench,
and his clearly announced position on fed
eral judgeships. sufficiently explain the
former. His attitude toward the south can
be explained only by a deliberate purpose,
formed either before his election or very
soon after 1t, and firmly adhered to- For
he has apparently determined to do all that
he can do consistently with his other du-
ties to make the south like the rest Of the
country, and to make IL feel itself like the
rest of the country in its relations to the
national government. For a while politi-
clans naturally supposed that his sole
object was to make gains in the south for
his party. and that, no doubt, does seem
to him a thing entirely desirable But such
gains as his party had made in that quar-
ter were practically wiped out by the re-
cent elections 1t will not have another
chance for two years TO come. Yet the
president goes on treating the south just
as he did In the beginning. His really
controlling motive in this matter is that
of statesman, not a politician.
We should not be surprised II there were
southerners, southern democrats, who, see
ing that this is so. would feel trifle bet
ter II in the election the south had shown
more disposition TO stand by the president

inquiry Of Express Companies.

AAH0AAy VI LA pAOSs SOAA puAAASss
Not many business interests or pri-
vate individuals who have dealings
with the large express companies will
be inclined to discourage the Inter
state Commerce commissions proposed
Investigation of those corporations.
They not only form one of the highest
working combines that has ever ex-
listed in this country, but they are so
generally indifferent to the character
OF service they render as to provoke
remonstrance on that score alone. The
remarkable fact is that they have es-
capped this official inquiry so long,
1t would seem dif1cult for these
companies to deny that they operate by
agreement 1t looks as If they parcel
out the country among themselves.
But fixing their own rates arbitrarily
and their schedules of service is not
all. They are often impervious in
their attitude toward the public, and
this thing extends down to the
humblest employee sometimes. People
who have had Just grievances too fire.
quently have no redress from them,
less even than from the railroads.
The parcels post, for which public
sentiment long has clamored, and
which President Taft is urging, has
always been resisted, and up to now
defeated, by the express companies.
The reason may be found in the fact
that recently one of them paid 80
per cent dividend, with permission to
invest a part of it in new per cent
stock issue Or It may be found in the
fact that It costs about so or 65 cents
