For the month of May railroad
gross earnings from operation showed
an increase of nearly $50, 900. 900 over
May of 1909, and an increase in net
earnings of nearly $825,OOO. These
figures are put out as proof of what
poor lines the railroads find them
selves. But the proof is not very con-
vincing. All these comparisons are
made with years in which the railroads
have been enjoying unprecedented
prosperity. If the comparisons were
made with some of the years OF really
poor business even a railroad magnate
might be made to see that they are
doing tolerably well.

Conserving the Robin.

Catching the spirit of the times,
Mrs. Russell Sage, has gone into the
business of conservation, recently
setting aside $4,000 to conserve the
life of robin redbreast In the south.
This would be a more popular move IL
not confined to the south, but It is pos
sible that II 1t meets with good results
down there, Mrs. Sage may decide to
try it up north, even though the robin
is not so ardent lover Of our climate
and country as he is Of Dixie.
1t is said that Mrs. Sage was
prompted to this magnanimous act by
the belief that southerners with their
sweet teeth, had devastated the robins
by making them up into robin pie and
southern newspapers are now having
some fun at her expense. Evidently
someone else has been having such
fun too, If Mrs. Sage was really led to
believe such thing, Robins UNI
doubtedly are less numerous in Dixie,
as in the north, than they used to be,
but II Is hardly due to the TACT that
they have been consumed in pie. 1t
is more probable that they have gone
the way of other birds that flee out Of
the way for the sweep industrial i'm
provement
The whole country doubtless will
welcome this project Of Mrs, Sage and
hope that it results in the multiplied
ton of the robin until his number will
be as great as ever. The robin is q
fine little fellow, though he has his
faults and one of them asserts itself
during cherry time. But we have all
too few such birds anyway and Mrs.
sage's efforts should receive general
support, for they are directed along
proper lines.

All the talk OF the state last week was
about the democratic state convention and
the great battle there to be fought, with
the county option question as the subject
for the fighting. Just now the republican
brethren are as uneasy as the democrats.
Several OF the big counties have elected re-
publican delegates to the state convention,
giving instructions to put county option
plank in the state platform. Indeed the ac-
ton of the republican state convention is
now more uncertain than the action of the
democratic body. The Telegram believes
the democratic convention will handle the
county option question by referring II to
the legislative districts. We now believe
the republican convention will be controlled
by the friends OF county option. We grant
that Victor Rosewater Is the most power
full factor In the republican ranks in Me-
braska, and we know he will work just as
hard to keep county option out of the re-
publican platform as Bryan will work to
get county option into the democratic plat
form. But We believe both leaders will
meet defeat The democratic sentiment
against dealing with county option in the
state platform is so strong that even Bryan
cannot prevail against IT, The republican
sentiment in favor of putting county option
in the republican state platform is so strong
that even Victor Rosewater cannot keep
the republicans away from county option
declaration.

The senatorial situation is still exciting.
The latest rumor is that another republican
mot Whedon) viii at the last moment get
into the race against BurlSett. We do not
take any stock in the report. The Burkett
machine is strong. 1t will not slip any
cogs at the last moment. There is earnest
expectancy in democratic circles regarding
the report that Richard L. Metcalfe will
file for the democratic nomination for
United States senator, thus giving the DEM
ocTats four active candidates for the place.
We cannot verify the report regarding
Metcalfe, but we can predict that II he
should enter the race he would make things
decidedly interesting. In and out Of the
democratic party Metcalfe has a great per-
sonal following. He would win the primary
support of that following without reference
to the political affiliations of the primary
voters, and the allegiance of his friends
would be as steadfast at the polls as at
the primaries. II he should be nominated
against Burkett there could be but one
result at the November election, and that
result would be the utter overthrow OF the
slippery senior senator. Tomorrow will be
the last day for filing nominations and
then we shall know how much truth there
Is In the story of the dark horse republican
who is getting ready to file for the senator
ship, and then we shall learn Just how far
Metcalfe has advanced toward senator
ship.

Until yesterday Mr.. Aldrich Of David
City was the only republican aspirant for
the nomination for governor. Now there
is another Richmond in the field. His
name is Cady, and he halls from Howard
county. 1t is common belief that Cady has
been brought into the race by Victor Rose
water, and that he will push Cady to the
front as an anti-county option candidate,
as against Aldrich, who has declared for
county option. This may be true, but there
is no proof. The Telegram is inclined to
the belief that Aldrich is the first choice
of the Rosewater following, Not because
they approve his county option views, but
rather because they feel that he will be a
friendly Indian in case they can elect him.
Quite naturally Cady would be the choice
of the Omaha interests, because he is
known to be opposed to county option, but
We rather incline to the belief that in the
primaries the Omaha interests will support
Aldrich. There is a suspicion in the air
that Rosewater has had an understanding
with Aldrich, and that he has passed the
word that Aldrich is safe and sane. even
II he does favor county option, and that
he will not favor it hard enough to hurt
much. rv o.

Political Dope
Cnllmhns Telerrnm.

GOinnnpuS ltlekIhHls
In no game Of politics were there ever
so many politicians with cold feet as in
the present game in Nebraska Every day
we hear some democrat say that the split
in his party has killed all chance OF VIC
tory, and every day we hear some repub-
lican brother say that the fight between
the insurgents and standpatters has killed
all hope for republican success.
And this feeling Of fear has brought some
amusing results In the early part of the
campaign It was believed there would be
at least four democratic asplrants for the
nomination for governor. and at one time
the friends OF no less than seven prominent
republicans were sure their favorites would
get into the race for the republican nomina'
ton for governor. But now the situation
has become so uncertain that only two
democrats have asked for the democratic
nomination, and until last evening only
one republican had the nerve to desire his
party nomination. The fight between
Datlman and Shallenberger goes merrily
on, but II is not as bitter as II was.
Friends of the two candidates have reached
the sensible conclusion that personal abuse
will not win many votes at the primary,
anu lnaI buCO tpuS6 WILL Dt CSIlhl W
lose votes at the polls for the one who shall
win at the primary. The Telegram is glad
to see this better spirit in the democratic
ranks We realize that either Shallen-
berger or Dahlman will be nominated, and
we desire the one who shall win the nomin-
alton to have a fair show at the polls. In
the earlier part Of the campaign Dahl
mans supporters threw many nasty clubs
at Shallenberger, branding him as all kinds
Of an unreliable, but with no proof at all
for their charges. In reply the Shallen-
berger supporters denounced Dahlman as
any and all kinds of bowery bum, with
no shadow of support for their charges.
Evidently the leaders have had little
safe and sane session between themselves,
for now we hear less Of bitterness eX-
pressed toward the two candidates, and
we are glad that the feeling of bitterness
is giving place ~ fair presentation Of
the claims Of the opposing candidates. This
will result in giving to the one who shall
win the nomination fair chance to win
at the polls.

EFFORTS TO SOLVE

Como. Italy, June 14-Althoush the po-

the authorities at various points to watch
for a man answering the description OF
Porter Charlton. the search of Lake Como
where the body of Charlton's wife was
found in a trunk few days ago, has not
been abandoned Nothing was disclosed
TODAY, however. to give the slightest clue
to the whereabouts of the missing man
or to strengthen the theory that he also
was murdered. 1t has been learned that
Charlton wrote on June to the Russian
Isiolatoff. who Is under arrest that he
and his wife were leaving for the Riviera.
On that afternoon he went to the post
office and made inquiries with references
10 steamers leaving for America. He
nosted the letter addressed to Ispolatoff
without a stamp. This IL taken as an
Indication that he was exceedingly agi-
tated. It was on the evening of the same
day that he questioned fisherman near
the spot where the trunk was found az
to the deepest part Of the lake.

STATEHOOD BILL
HAS NO EASY ROAD

Washington. June Ex-senator Bailey
made an unsuccessful effort to get the
statehood bill before the Senate today. In
stead, the Senate took up Senator
Browns resolution proposing to the sew
eral states a constitutional amendment
providing for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people.
The great difficulty in the way of state
hood lies in the radical differences be-
tween the House and Senate bills. 1t is
asserted the Senate will accept only the
bilhwhlch originated in that body, known
as the Beveridge bill There also is q
practical certainty that the House will not
accept the Senate bill.
The Hamilton bill passed the House al
eeeded that Mr.. Hamilton's opinion in
statehood matters will carry much weight
In that body. Mr.. Hamilton lately has
had many conferences with President Taft
on the subject. and lie is convinced that
President Taft prefers the House bill
1t is understood the President would like
to see the House bill adopted by the Sem
ate with two material additions. One Of
these would amend the Arizona constitu-
ton so as not to bar from the rights
of citizenship those who are unable to
read and write. The other would give
Congress the right of approval of the con-
stitutions of the two new states.
1t is thought Mr.. Hamilton would agree
to these amendments and perhaps other
minor ones.
