cal male politician as a successful
modus operandi IN the management OF
a great party, but, though Miss shaw's
party has not yet achieved any distin-
guished triumphs in the way Of politi-
cal ~asoendenoy, her theory, after ali,
may be the correct one and she the DO.
litical Moses men have been seeking
AS the infallible guide to success. Still
che probabilities are that the Shaw way
will prove more highly adapted to the
e%xigeRcies Of woman's suffrage as a
propaganda han It will to the republl-
can OF democratic party as a political
entity seeking real success.
For the serious respect OF woman's
suffrage one can but look with genu-
inc disappointment upon the proceed
ings Of this Washington convention
characterized, whether Justly so or
not, to the public by two chief facts
the lack of self-restraint as lamenta-
bly, displayed in the kissing of the
president and the inability to sub
merge internal differences in external
union-two grave obstacles to the ac-
complishment of woman's suffrage.

No man is so well suited to carry
the proposal Of world peace to mill
tant Europe as Theodore Roosevelt,
for he represents a nation that has
spent more than $4,000, 100000 in
pensions as a penalty of war, and
while carrying the big stick. has al
ways believed that "A soft word turn
eth away wrath" in international dis
putes. Germany, France and England
are much more likely to be persuaded
by what he may say on this subject,
therefore, than IL Count Tolstoi we're
speaking as the, exponent Of the doc
trine Of nonresistance.
II this ls Mr.. R~oosevelt's chief mis-
sion in Europe then we may hail with
renewed zeal the words of President
Taft at the close of his predecessors
administration, Theodore Roosevelt
has beer able to accomplish more in
the preservation of the peace Of the
world han any president that ever
administered or any monarch that
ever reigned."
The anomaly Of Colonel Roosevelt's
character and public services lies in
this fact, that while militant in tenn
permanent and personal persuasion, his
whole career has beer devoted to the
end Of universal peace. He had a
large part in settling the Russo-Jap-
anese wal and did much to allay in
ternational disputes provocative of
other wars. In addition to all this he
has a private influence with Emperor
William particularly and with King
Edward and the heads of other Euro
pean powers that will give effective
weight to his proposal that the great
powers of the earth join in an agree
ment for the settlement of interna-
tional disputes by arbitration.
The first Hague peace conference
which met in 1898 gave a great i'm
petus to the principle of arbitration as
the preventive Of war and the second
provided a court of arbitration, but
this tribunal of peace has not yet &C

will not until some agreement as
that now proposed is entered into by
the nations of the earth to limit their
armament and military expenditures
and to recognize arbitration asa rem
edy instead Of a cure for war. If the
twentieth century is to advance be
yond the nineteenth as a cycle OF
peace it must perfect this principle Of
international amity, just as the cen.
fury gave to it the heritage of arbi'
tration and the first step toward the
abolition of war. This end can be
achieved only by systematic agitation
and education in, every country and II
is this which Colonel Roosevelt is sait

sion to Germany, France and England

There is something refreshing in the
fact that Miss Marjorie Gould, not as
Miss Gould, but the accomplished
daughter Of an American multi
millionaire, has married at the tender
age of 10 and taken as her life COM
panion a plain American but two years
her senior. Somehow it is old
fashioned to think of a girl of her sta
ton marrying at that age and old
fashioned things continue to have
their charm, and then it is still more
wholesome to think that she did not
have to barter her charms for bogus
title.

PITY the Poor GovarnOr.

Pity the poor governor who is in
vested with the p~ardoning power since
the idea has gotten out that any peni-
Tertiary convict can write himself out
of prison walls by the poetry route.
One state university has recently an
nounced that it was about to install a
chair of poetry, but If 1t wants to get
real results, it should transfer its
poetical instruction from the campus
to the walled camp and undertake to
teach metrical feet along with the
.lockstep.
The poetry venue to Communication
and pardon also offers a wide field for
useful and -remunerative occupation
for the gifted convicts after they get
out. There is no monopoly on poetry,
and no limit on the market quota
lions. The poem that touches the
governors heart should command a
ready sale, carrying with it, as it were,
the endorsement Of such a high liter
airy critic. No up-to-date modern
~penitentiary should be without a class
in poetry.

able and revolutionary as was the sud
den, rise In prices. Wages and the
cost OF production have been re-
arranged on the new basis, at least in
part, and a return to the old level of
prices would again upset the read
justed conditions.
After all It may be but the inexor-
able pendulum-like swing Of the law
Of supply and demand that has
brought prices to the downward ten
dency, for statistics already have
shown that with all the high prices
consumption in staples fell off in the
last year. If the perversion of these
laws to selfish ends has brought its
own %retribution then we may regard
the result with even more complacence
than had it come through other pro-
cesses.

The Next ana the Last.
New York Tribune.

Governor Marshall Of Indiana said in
a Jefferson day speech that the next dem
ocratlc national platform would be written
by three pe~rsons-"an economist, a phil
ologist and an honest man" The last dem
ocratic national platform was written in all
essentials by one person, the Hon. William
J.. Bryan. Did he fall to fill the role of
the needed economist, the needed phiiolo-
gist or the needed honest man?

just for bridges along county roads

county division that would put Omaha

Advertising Enterprise OF an Omaha
Preacher.
Chicago Record Herald.

Chicago ReCord-Herald.
An Omaha preacher has recently been
advertising in the papers OF that city, adj
vising engaged couples that in spite of
reassurances from the scientists the tail
OF Halley's comet may contain poisonous
gases which win cause the destruction OF
all life on this planet when the earth
plunges through the appendage.
The reverend gentleman, therefore, urges
people who are contemplating matrimony
to lose no time, Young women who have
been planning to be Tune brides are warned
that delays are dangerous and the result
has been a rapid increase in the number
Of marriage licenses issued in Omaha, with
an accompanying boom in business for the
preacher who engineered the scare.
In addition to calling attention to the fact
that II pays TO advertise, we desire to offer
for the use of Omaha lovers this motto:
Let us eat. drink and be married, for toe
morrow we may die"
