The Scholar in Politics

There seems to be excellent author
ity for the statement that the demo-
cratic party this year is the party of
corporation boodle that the money
bags of predatory wealth" it has so
loudly condemned are open to it's lead
ers and candidates and that enormous
sums are being spent in the effort to
elect the democratic ticket in New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts.
Ohio, Indiana and other states, east as
well as west. But the great effort
centers in New Jersey, where Morgan.
Carnegie and other powerful interests
are said to be engaged in desperate
combine to elect Dr.. Woodrow Wilson
governor of the state in the hope and
for the purpose of grooming him for
the presidential nomination in 1912.
DR.. Wilson's friends, who admit
that money is being spent lavishly in
behalf of the democracy, declare he is
innocent of any collisions and not
cognizant OF such a move. Some of
his political opponents generally are
willing to concede as much. The
president Of Princeton has entered the
race as the scholar in politics" and
is being accorded every consideration
of fair treatment. But grant that it
is all true; grant that he is completely
ignorant of the methods and money
being employed to bring about his
election now and his nomination in
1912, of what credit is that TO DR.. viii
son? OF what possible account or
good use is "the scholar in politics" if
he can be used as the dupe or instru-
ment of sinister influences? If such
trickery as this can be played around
him without his finding it out, how
much better is he for the cause of
good government than the man of less
lofty ideals and ideas who cannot be
thus fooled and foiled?
1t really is not doing DR.. Wilson any
credit to make these excuses and ex-
plantations.

Greeting the Stranger.

The stranger visiting Omaha period
ically cannot fail to note with each
Successive view a steady improvement
in Omahas general appearance, and
yet he cannot fail to observe many
places calling for still further inn
provement
The stranger in every city is largely
governed by first impressions, while
those of us who live here have to go
away from home and come back in or
der to get the point of view of the
outsider.
The visitor to Omaha comes by rail
and gets his first glimpse through a
car window. He sees Omaha from
across the river or from the sunken
right-of-way between Omaha and
South Omaha. This car window view
is not bad, but could be much better.
The vicinity of the river front and of
the railroad right-of-way is by no
means a thing OF beauty, yet could
easily be made more attractive by a
little care and attention and not
much money.
When our stranger debarks from
either of our passenger stations he
ought to have a means of reaching the
center Of the city by highway afford
ing slightly and comfortable transit.
There is now no way of bridging the
gap from the visduct except over
rough and jolting granite block pave
ment The roadway has often been
worse than It is now, but there should
be at least one smoothly-paved artery
Of trafhc kept constantly in good con-
dition connecting the passenger sta
tons with the district in which are
located the hotels. amusement places
and business houses.
II should be said that our de-
iciencies are not due to lack of desire
to improve, but rather to lack of sys-
tematic plan and persistence. With
definite plan to work to, Omaha
could soon be made TO put on a better
face When It gyeets the stranger and

POLITICAL DRIFT.

Campaign prophets are putting out some
of the best Sellers" of the season.
The campaign in Indiana is said to in
volve Mary in a vine-covered cottage. &"
Mary deserves the sympathy Of every
chivalrous heart.
Senator Taylor Of Tennessee. named for
governor by the democrats, is known To-
cally as Catgut Bob Of Happy Valley. Bob
plays the fiddle, never a violin.
The United States is fortunate in having
only two political parties worth while.
Portugal has seventeen political parties;
consequently the country is furnishing po-
itical scenery Of the headache variety.
District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier and
Sheriff F. H. Seavey of Suffolk county.
Massachusetts, both democrats, performed
their duties so acceptably that they have
been endorsed for re election by both
parties
Colonel William A. Carton refuses to be-
come the democratic harmony candidate
for governor of Massachusetts, and the
four persons authorized to name the man
are giving an exhibition Of scrapping that
puts the tabled Kilkenny cats in an ANA
teur class.
Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of New Haven,
the democratic candidate for governor Of
Connecticut is best known as a former
president OF the American Bar association
He attended both Harvard and Yale law
schools and has been for many years a
member Of the faculty Of the latter.
The announcement that Miss Flora VIII
son, the daughter of the secretary Of agri-
culture, will sing at her fathers political
meetings in Iowa indicates a revival Of
old-tme campaigning methods. In the old
days it was usually male quartet that
furnished the vocal music at party rallies,
but Miss Wilson must be fully equal to
four men.

Democratic campaign managers
have more money this year than they
ever dreamed of having, while repub-
lican committees are suffering from
financial drouth, all because the brew
ers, corporations and interests are on
the democratic side. Here in Ne

spending to every requisition, the dem
ocrats are wallowing in Doodle, but it
remains to be seen whether enough
votes are on the bargain counter.

An the prlse-wholl win It?
But there's prize out west fer each

In human condensation;
We're bound TO bulge thro' the upper crust
Or soak thro' the lower foundation.
Some folks make me think OF pack OF geese
Holding gabfest in one square rod
While beyond them stretches invitingly
good square mile OF sod.
Then let us spread from coast to coast
An hive on generous plan;
An II you can't go fur out west
Go as fur west as you can.

It's a mighty long stretch from coast tt

The expense, sure would be great
To take a bunch from the state of Maine
Clean out to the Golden Gate;
But nerves not lacking to meet the test,
An grit you'll get on the way.
An maybe you'll like the looks of things
Ere you reach that Sunset Bay,
Fer the middle west is a mighty fine place:

An II you can't make it clear out to the

Come as far as Omaha.

Hancock, Mimi, Apr. 4, 1910.
Editor Tribune:-
I have had good many inquiries as
to what my platform was, and what
claim I had to receive the support of
the voters of the district at the pri-
mary election. l now take the op-
portunity to announce my platform
and also give few of my ideas as to
what the coming session of the legis
lature ought to do. But before I
start there is matter I am going to
say a few words about.
The gentleman that edits that great
family paper, the Hancock Record, in
late issue of his choice sheet pro-
ceeds to give his valuable opinion on
the political situation in this district.
He fails to notice one candidate for
the legislature in spite of the fact
that he is from his own town.
Politics to E. J. Babe consists of
trying to find out what there is in it
for me and how can reach the pub
lie trough. He does not have any
opinion on county option and other
leading issues of the day. Since ever
he came to this part of the country
and as far as I know his idea is to try
and pick out some one he is pretty
sure will be elected and boom him for
all he is worth, with the expectation
that he may be able to get something
out of it in the way Of helping out his
political ambitions, or perhaps little
job as clerk down in the legislature,
which he tried once to get and failed.
He also tries to pose as local boss
able to deliver the votes of his local
ity over to any one he chooses. He
tried that in the last election in try
ing to get the voters of Hancock,
Hodges and Horton to elect r. A.
Cooper instead A. L. Stenger for Judge
of probate. But he found that the
voters did their own thinking. 1t
looks to me as if he was trying the
same game this year in regard to the
candidates for the legislature.
In his article further on he says
that this leaves one vacancy for Ste
vens county and that. "L. @. Spooner
will undoubtedly be elected by a

Il Should Be Shaded From the Noon
day Sun-Rich Soil Needed.
The essential conditions for success
with the pansy are a cool, half shaded
place and a rich, friable soil. The
pansy is a cool loving plant and does
best where shaded from the MONDAY
sun.
If the seed pods are kept cut away
the plants may be carried through the
summer and a good crop of flowers Sc
cured again in the fall.
To secure early flowers the seed
should be sown in a cold frame or
window box in November, or they
may be started in September and
transplanted to the permanent bed in
time to reroot before winter. At the
approach of winter the bed should be
mulched with straw or pine needles to
protect the plants from heaying and
thawing.
The pansy has been greatly improV-
ed in recent years, and some OF the
present market strains are verv fine.
