ton on the mere ground Of remun-
erative results The Postoffice de-
partment was not organized and is not
maintained primarily to make money
for the government, but rather for the
accommodation OF the people And
yet under the able administration of
Postmaster General Hitchcock, it is
fast being brought to a self-sustaining
basis. Parcels post could not help but
promote this end. It would, accord
ing to experts, even pay FOR itself and
probably turn over an annual balance
to the credit side OF the ledger in the
department. At any rate It should be
introduced without delay. why should
such facilities as the government pos
sesses for its operation not be en-
ployed? This Of itself is a waste of
resources. Good business manage
ment requires a parcels post in this
country.

The slump in Douglas.


When the republican state conven-
ton put a county option plank in the
platform over the protests of the dele
cation from this county it served
notice that It did not expect, and did
not need, any maiorities for the state
ticket from Douglas county.
In view of this action, the results
here, while disappointing, are not sur
prising. Earlier in the campaign the
democrats were vociferously proclaim
ing Douglas county for Dahlman by
from 10000 to $4,000 majority. They
afterward revised these figures down
ward to 10000 majority, which they
insisted was sure for Jim" The re-
publicans in their estimates figured
the Dahlman majority at from 5000
to 5000. The official canvass will
show for Dahlman a majority Of APP
proximately $500 as the sum total Of
what could be rolled up by a combi-
nation of all the liberal elements with
the democrats backed up by unlimited
brewers Doodle.
So far as the rest Of the ticket is
concerned, all the democrats running
for local offices we're in the position
of small boys who had hitched on be-
hind for ride in the Dahlman cart
and, with the exception of a single one
who fell OF, all the deadhead passen-
gers seem TO have reached their desti-
nation by varying majorities, but con-
siderably behind the leader.
Two years ago Governor shallen-
berger, heading the democratic ticket
carried Douglas county by 1858, SO
the steam put up for Jim" has pushed
him ahead about 5000 votes. What
the local results establish conclusively
is that on a wet and dry issue Omaha
and Douglas county would be three to
one wet, and that the republicans
caught in the slump in this county are
the victims of the dry plank in the
state platform.

France and It's Railroads.

The slender threads on which French
ministries hang and the frequency
with which they are broken and min
istries resign, suggests instability. 1t
suggests a basic defect in the system
and scope of a government, which
sometimes appears to be republic
chiefly in name.
The resignation Of the BRAND cabi-
net is the elimination of the railroad
strike Here in one instance is fail
ure of the strike and official author
ity. Neither came to a successful is
sue. The present crisis can but en-
plastic the one conclusion, that
France must either develop an ability
to manage her railroads or turn them
over to private operation. The former
contingency would seem to be out of
the question under existing conditions
the latter recourse appears to be in
evitable ii the railroads are to be
properly and profitably managed. They
are now burdened with debt and mis-
managed. They have to charge oppres-
sive rates for poor service and pay low
wages. The people are the sufferers in
both instances. Nor is it any adequate
recompense to the government that it
receives the services of its railroad en-
ployes for Industrial soldiery. That
service is about as worthless as the
roads are at present. 1t lacks the sol
( der spirit. These employees are as in.
different to their military duties as the
people on the whole appear to be tC

The General Results.

what was for some time perceived
to be a Distinct popular trend through
out the country away from the repub-
iicsn party and toward the democracy
may now be measured BY the results
Of the election. AS foreshadowed by
the upheaval in Maine. the swing of
the pendulum has been further in the
east than in the middle or far west, al
though the democratic drift IS plainly
apparent everywhere and modified or
checked only by local conditions or by
the personalities OF the candidates. AS
a consequence we are to have a house
in the next congress Under good work
ing control OF the democrats, a senate
with largely reduced republican ma
iority and democratic governors in a
half dozen states in the union that
have, as a rule, preferred republican
rule.
This outcome will. OF course, be diff
ferently interpreted from different
viewpoints. The conservatives who
are responsible for the change in the
east viii insist that It is a Reputation
OF the so-called Roosevelt policies
whether championed by Roosevelt OF
executed by Taft. In the west It will
be characterized as a popular protest
to Taft against domination by the re-
dictionaries, and the smaller losses in
Cured in the west will be held up as
proof that the people endorse the atti-
tude and program of the insurgents.
Both Of these explanations in our
opinion are in point because they dis
close the conflicting motives inspiring
those who have contributed to
democratic success and will eventually
have their reaction. The democrats
will no more be able to satisfy the
eastern reactionaries and the western
insurgents at one and the same time
than the republicans, as heretofore di.
vided, have been able to do. If that
be the case the people will quickly
realize that they have made a mistake
or at least have accomplished no good
by drawing away from republicans
just as they were belted in for a sanely
progressive movement and toward the
democrats Just as they are again under
sway of their bourbon element.

Chamu Clark's Mules.

Champ Clark has said that IL elected
speaker of the house he would drive
span of mules down Pennsylvania
avenue in washington. It looks as if
the Missourian would have the oppor-
tunity Of making good on his freak
promise. He IS reelected. his party
has gained control Of the house and
he will probably be its choice for
speaker.
But It is not distinction of this sort
that Mr.. CLARK and his party will most
need. On the contrary, they will need
to resist such tendencies They have
already been driving mules too much.
They have been handicapped by mulish
caprice too long. That is one reason
they have not been entrusted with
power more often. The country has
feared their lack OF dignity and their
lack Of stability. 1t has not in this
temporary turn OF the tide expressed
any special confidence in the democ-
racy. The conditions by which Mr..
Clark and his party gain the ascen-
dancy in the lower branch OF congress
cannot be construed into popular es-
TEEN of the democracy and the things
it has stood for. The result is rather
negative in character SO far as the
democrats are concerned.
They win do well, therefore, not to
mistake this fact and conduct them
selves accordingly At best they are
only Installed on probation. What is
done in 1912 depends no doubt very
largely on how they deport themselves
between this and that. There will be
enough mule-driving and braylng
which Mr.. Clark would like to prevent,
so that It would i'll become him to 90
out OF his way to do any OF it himself
Nobody takes seriously his joke about
driving his mules down the main capt
tai thoroughfare. but neither is the
country in the mood to listen to such
J talk from the speaker OF It's house OF
representatives. AS speaker. Champ
clark does not promise a display OF
those qualities that have distinguished
such men as Randall. Carlisle, Reed
Crisp or even Cannon He does not
loom with forbidding invulnerability
to republicans as the leader of tn,
democracy He win need all tn,
strength he can get by avoiding null,
talk.

RA1IROAD PROFtTs AND RATBs.
Lessons Drawn from Union Pacific
Annual Report.

St Paul Fioneer-Press.
The annual report OF the Union Pacific
railroad for the year ending June 50 1910
apparently offers an argument against the
contentious being made BY the railroad
managers OF that and other lines that an
increase in freight rates is imperative in
order to enable the roads to keep up their
dividend obligations and meet operation
demands. The Union Pacific made a trifle
more than 10 per cent on its common stock
The Union Pacific had at the close OF the
fiscal year $216,5577OO Of common stock out
standing, on which It made a net earning
Of $4i 1854, or more than Is per cent or
this 10 per cent Nas paid in dividends on
common stock leaving S1g,S19s24, or about
8 per cent, TO be used for bettermehts
This splendid showing was made IN the
face OF a large increase IN operating ex-
penses, Amounting TO about "a per cent
over the outlay Of the preceding year.
The Union Pacific has about $3.50. 900 900
invested in other railroads and railroad
securities which has added materially to
the companys income. 1t also carries a
cash surplus Of some s1s,OOOOOO in the form
Of demand loans. The showing of earnings
is all the more satisfactory when It is re-
membered that Mr.. Hartman was never
accused OF undercapitalizing the stock Of
the road which he bought at Bankrupt sale
thirteen years ago and consolidated and
built into highly efficient system. The
/ report would indicate that what the rail-
roads Of the country need is not higher
