POLITICAL DRIFT.


Both Colorado and Oklahoma have each
nominated a woman for congress,
Eleven constitutional amendments are to
be submitted to the voters OF Missouri in
November.
a brother OF sunny jim" sherman is
trying to break into office in New York
state as a democrat.
\ New York man has actually resigned
$4,000 city job because his sole task was
that OF drawing the salary.
Mr.. Fowler OF New Jersey. an insurgent
with a grievance sought a nomination for
the senate and the house at the same time
and failed in both.
Careful reading OF the editorial pag- of
this Springfield tMassD Republican fails to
find any boostful evidence Of parental af-
fecton for the Junior Sam Bowles' ambi-
ton to reach congress as a democrat.
Nearly everybody old enough to vote at
the New Jersey primaries took whack
at the proprietor of Everybody's Magazine.
While his first venture in politics was
Ailure one of his top-lne contributors
captured the socialist nomination for gov
ernor Of New York.
Colonel Bryan has bolted Jim Dahlman,
democratic nominee for governor OF Ne
braska," remarks the St Joseph News
Press. The colonel likes Jim immensely,
but he can't stand that whisky odor on
Jims politics. We rejoice at the colonel g
action for two reasons; one. because he has
declared his independence and the other be-
cause this declaration relieves the demo
cratic party of his weight. All the Bryan
boilers are now forgiven, rehabilitated and
restored to full fellowship, just as though
nothing had happened"

The Cardinals Visit.

Whatever other significance the
visit of the distinguished representa-
tive of the Roman pontiff may have,
the presence Of Cardinal Vannutelli at
this time is serviceable in that it calls
attention to the progress of religious
easily be questioned If even the citi-
zens of Omaha were sufficiently
familiar with existing conditions to be
able to tell exactly what religious in
stitutions> were established and main
tanned in this city. So the cardinals
coming at this time has had the effect
of calling to notice a number of insti-
buttons of which Omaha can well be
proud. The Catholic church has no
monopoly of this religious develop
ment The Protestant denominations
have been quite as active and ener-
getic in the building up of their re-
ligions, until Omaha can justly take
pride in being "a city of churches, of
schools and of homes Detractors of
Omaha persistently ignore this fact
and II is well that the citizens, them
selves, should be reminded of it from
time to time.
The reception accorded his emil
nence, Cardinal Vannutelli, is a
splendid indication of the spirit of re-
ligious liberation and freedom of be-
lief that prevails in Omaha. The
trainers of the constitution of Ne
braska very wisely provided for the
existence of religion regardless OF
sect, creed or denomination, and
Bishop Scannell very gracefully ex-
pressed the general sentiment when
he said: 1--WE have here, as your emf
hence may observe tonight, a real
union of church and state-not an
organic or political union. but a union
based on friendship and a mutual de-
sire to help each other and to CO.
operate in all things in which CO.
operation would serve common
good" 1t is on this foundation that
religious liberty in Nebraska exists,
and on this foundation the churches
have built broadly and strongly and
through their influence have aided in
maintaining Nebraska at her proud
position at the head OF the column ia
the United States as being the state
with the least percentage of illiteracy
among its residents. Cardinal Vannu-
tell has pledged himself to give
Omaha a bright page" in his report
to be made at Rome
If in the wisdom OF the high coun-
ellis of the Catholic church it should be
found expedient to increase Omaha
religious importance by making II an
archiepiscopal see the assurance may
} be given in advance that the honor
will be appreciated and the work will
be supported.

Supremacy of American Railroads IL

Franklin X. Lane of California, a MEM
Der OF the Interstate Commerce commits
sion. was one of the representatives from
the United states to the international rail-
road conference held at Berne Switzerland,
during the past summer. He has but re-
Gently returned to this country and his
declaration that THE conference estab-
lished beyond question, l think, the SUI
premacy of the American railroad in ef-
ficiency" is Of interest because Mr.. Lane,
while not a professional railroad man, is
In a position requiring that he should know
much about the science of railroading. In
other words he is competent Judge when
1t comes TO drawing estimates between for
eign railroad systems and those of the
United States. The volume of freight
moved by the leading American roads, he
declares is overwhelmingly greater than
the freightage moved by any European
road of equal mileage. He declares that
he has seen more freight moving in a sin
gle hour at Chicago, Pittsburg and Jersey
City than he saw on the move during an
entire month passed in Europe,
Such a statement as to the efficiency Of
American railroads coming from such a
SOuEGe Is CALCULATED TO cause q
ment OF view on the part of many who
have been led by numerous magazine ar
ticles lauding foreign railroad methods
to believe that this country is far behind
the leading countries of Europe, both in
solidity of railroad construction and in
methods of operation. A great many of
the roads Of continental Europe are under
governmental control, and the declaration
that such roads are less efficient in their
service accords entirely with the universal
experience that when municipal or state
governments attempt to do business re-
quiring large force of employees. results
are smaller and the average running ex-
penses greater than when the same bust
ness is conducted under private manage
ment.
In actual mileage In operation there are
$1,000 more miles OF railroad in the United
States than in the whole of Europe. The
United States as Mr.. Lane remarks, is
a railroad-made country" and he thinks
that our railroad systems are without
parallel in the world, because I'VE are liv-
ing as a nation. and in Europe they are
living as communities" This country has
been obliged to work out big problems In
railroading and has worked them out in a
way nowhere paralleled on the other side
of the Atlantic.

Pat at Least Told the Exact Truth in His Application for
 Whisky.

The town of Dedham is under pro- hibition law, apothecaries alone being permitted to sell alcoholic stimulants. The other day a son of the Emerald Isle entered a drug store there, and, taking a bottle from his pocket asked for a quart of whisky. The salesman asked to what use it was to be put, and the reply was:
 "To soak roots in it."
 The order was filled, and the clerk, after handing over the bottle and it's contents, inquired, in conversational manner:
 What kind of roots are you going to soak?"
 Pocketing the bottle, the customer said:
