what che 1ntsrs,t,o Want.

Any one OF ordinary intelligence
who keeps track Of current events
need not be in the dark as to what
the interests" want in the present
election They want a democratic con
gress elected to embsrrass the admin
istration and to stop any further legis-
lation along the lines Of the Taft
Roosevelt policies. They want no more
laws for further regulation Of the rail-
roads. They want no legislation to
check the unlimited issue of railroad
securities. They want no legislation
restricting the operations of the trusts.
They want nothing more in the di-
rection OF tariff revision. They have
satisfied themselves that the surest
way to accomplish these objects is to
make the house democratic and put II
in deadlock with a republican presi-
dent. The Financial Chronicle. a we'll
known exponent Of Wall street views,
a few days ago commenting on the
prevalent belief that the democrats
would win Overwhelmingly in New
York declared
Moreover, in the estimation OF the lead
ing financial interests, there is ground
also for tho belief that the political VIC
tory will not end with the result I'm this
state. Indeed, II would be a rather barren
triumph II the Roosevelutes should be
signally rebuked I'm this state, and Presi-
dent taft the defender and upholder OF
the Roosevelt policies. should be left with
a free hand to carry out these policies
through the receipt OF a political endorse
ment in the elections in other states. Con-
fidence exists that the radical element
IN the dominant party will receive a
most severe castigation throughout the
greater part OF the country-ln other words,
that the Roosevelt doctrines and policies
whether noisily proclaimed by Mr..
Roosevelt himself, or quietly but no less
determinedly enforced and pushed by
President Taft, will go down all along the
line.
We have no doubt that this reflects
the feeling Of the men who handle
politics for the interests" 1t is
doubtful however, whether the rank
and file of the people throughout the
country fully realize It. Voting the
democratic ticket this year is voting
for what the interests" want, and no
one who votes should be allowed to
vote that way through ignorance.

Remember Terminal Tax.

Every property owner in Omaha
should remember the tremendous fight
Of 1907 10 get the law 10 compel the
railroads TO pay city taxes on their
terminals. That was a fight in which
the railroads cunningly eXerted their
influence TO array the country districts
against Omaha by the false pretense
that this would transfer to Omaha
taxes then collected along the line. In
that fight, despite the pressure and in
timidation, Chester H. Aldrich, rep
.resenting a rural district in the senate,
stood On the firing line and helped
with all his might to get justice for
Omaha. The terminal tax law has put
into our city treasury an average OF
$4,000 a year over what the rail-
roads formerly paid and proportion
ately relieved every other taxpayer of
that burden. Ia that same night the

Rear-Admiral Wainwright. was one of

tied, namely. that a Cuban blew up the
vessel in order TO precipitate the war Nor
is there a piece of the cable that carried

pear that the "colonel's" statement IL not

Phil the Republican Lever.

By forcing on the voters of Omaha
and Douglas county the intricate vot-
ing machine the democrats were &C
tuated by a purpose to compel voters
rounded up for Dahlman to swallow
the whole democratic ticket straight.
There is no necessity, however, for
any intelligent and self-respecting
voter to do anything of the kind. The
machine secured endorsement by the
court on the theory that 1t permits
every voter to vote for any candidate
on any ticket he may wish to favor.
The thing to do, then, is to pull the
republican party lever and then
scratch If you must. For safety pull
the republican party lever first.

The Confidence of 1s9e.

A leading southern paper remarks
that as the campaign closes the demo-
cratic party becomes more confident Of
victory than It has been in any contest
since the first Bryan campaign of
1896. 1t was extremely confident in
that year Mr.. Bryan evidently had
very little doubt of being elected pres
ident and carrying the house with
him.
In character and tone the campaign
OF 1910 is not radically dissimilar to
that of 1895 The democrats today
profess every bit as much confidence
as they did then. In July of this year
they seemed to have some strong
ground for their faith, just as they
did some time before the election that
year. And their methods and argu-
ment then we're very like those en-
ployed this year, consisting chiefly of
attacks and abuse of the republicans,
The essential difference is that back
of the campaign fourteen years ago
the Bryan democracy had the admins
tration Of Grover Cleveland, a demo-
crat, while this year the democrats
have fourteen years of republican ad-
ministration with a similar period OF
unprecedented prosperity as its CO.
efficient
/ This, Of course, is quite a difference.
It disarms the democrats of most of
their paramount argument and leaves
them stranded high and dry upon the
1 painful necessity of denouncing a
course of government which stands as
its own proof to the people. 1t puts
the democrats in the ludicrous posi-
ton Of trying to convince the people
that what has made them prosperous
and happy cannot possibly achieve
such results. It is the same old soph-
lstry as well as the same old conf.
dence of 1896, and it is hard to be.
lieve that it will not bring about the
same old result as. crowned the cam,
paign of denunciatiOn then. The only
hope of democratic victory lies in the
ability 10 deceive a majority of the
voters, and II does not seem possible

Federal PAROLE LAW.
Liberal PrOvisiOns Make Large Open
inEs for the Gins"
Philadelphia Bulletin.

tnHH Tor the "InBs'
Philadelphia Bulletin
The report from Atlanta that Greene and
Gaynor, the notorious millionaire con
tractors sentenced in 1908 to four years
Imprisonment for glazing frauds against
the government, will shortly present their
applications for release under the new
federal parole law, will recall attention 20
the question whether this law, lately passed
by congress-, with its exceedingly liberal
provisions, Is a justifiable measure.
Few criminals in many years have given
the government 30 much trouble and ex-
pense as this precious pair-with their &C
complete Captain Oberlin M. Carter, who
has served his time behind the bars for
aiding in their frauds-for beside cheat
ing the treasury out Of huge sums, they
defiantly resisted punishment TO the very
last. though no real doubt existed as to
their guilt.
A very large proportion of the prisoners
in federal penitentiaries are men con-
victed of gross frauds. wreckers Of finan-
cial institutions, embezzlers from banks,
thieves-to use plain English-whO have
stolen the funds OF innocent depositers,
and inflicted loss and suffering upon null
titudes Of people. Often these individuals,
ike Greene and Gaynor, have influential
cor nections or are still possessed of con-
siderable means, and it is therefore not
unfair to ask whether the law does not
need to have its provisions made much
more stringent when such men may easily
claim its benefits.

BATHTUB TRUST IN COURT.
Combine seeks shelter Under Patent
Law Rights.

Combine Seeks Shelter Under Patent
Law Rights.
Washington Post.
The governments plea that the patent
laws cannot be cited as a valid defense
against a charge OF conspiracy brought
under the Sherman act marks the appear
ence in court Of a combine which evidently
considers itself safe from successful legal
attack
The bath tub trust, as the defendant COM
pany is popularity known, offers no denial
apparently, TO the allegation that IL controls
the trade In modern sanitary appliances
and fixes prices at which jobbers shall sell
its goods to ultimate consumers. The
manipulative arrangement by virtue Of
which a selling agency holding the patents
in question was established does not con-
sttute violation Of the patent laws under
which II claims sanction, but the govern
ment alleges that the device 10 an evasion
Of the antitrust law, against the prosecu-
ton of which the rights Of invention offer
no bar.
As this latest teet of the Sherman act Is
based on entirely new grounds. It will not
be affected by the decisions in the Standard
Oil and tobacco cases, and hence It is
pretty certain also to go to the supreme
court for a final ruling. Its Importance is
enhanced by the circumstances that the de-
cision is awaited by other branches of in
dustry holding patents which may be used
in a similar way should the courts validate
the bathtub scheme.
A decision favorable 10 the defendants
msnifestly would give a sharp impetus to
invention and also give the immunity bath
joke a new application.
