Personal and Political.

Returning from a trip to Mexico as
one OF the guests, along with other
American and Canadian newspaper
men, of the Centennial commission, |
find that during my absence several
local and country newspapers Of va
riegated political hues have been
feigning inquisitiveness as to where |
personally, and as editor of The Bee,
stand as between the opposing candi-
dates for governor
If these solicitous friends had read
The Bee as political events were shap-
ing themselves in this state, they
would have had no excuse for pre-
tended doubt.
The Bee as a newspaper, and | per-
sonally, have steadfastly refused to
accept the liquor question as the over
shadowing issue in this campaign.
Whether a county option law shall be
enacted or not will depend on the
choice of members of the legislature
by the people of the respective sena-
torial and representative districts, and
that issue, therefore, in its very ma
ture must be of local character, no
matter what the candidates for gov
ernor may say about It.
The Bee has never supported Dahl
man for mayor, although the opposing
nominee in neither instance was our
first choice, and we see no reason for
supporting Dahlman now for the Office
of governor, for which he is still less
fitted.
The Bee favors the election of Aid
rich. not because he has proclaimed
himself for county option, but in spite
Of 1t. 1t favors him because he repre-
sents republican ideas in government;
because he has no corporation strings
attached to him; because, so far as
we know, his integrity has not been
assailed; because a clean-cut republi
can victory, indicating that Nebraska
is in line with the progressive policies
of Taft and Roosevelt would be worth
great deal to this state and to the
country.
1t should be remembered, too, that
the impending election involves not
only the choice OF a governor, but also
the filling of all the executive state
offices, six places in the national
house of representatives and one seat
in the United States senate Taking
the ticket as a whole, the republican
nominees are far and away superior to
their democratic competitors. On the
republican ticket there are four re-
nominated state officers with records
of efficiency emitting them to endorse
ment, while the only state officer
whom the democrats could have re-
nominated was turned down in the
democratic primary, having forfeited
the confidence of his own party. The
democratic ticket presents one candi-
date, who was the bellwether of the
corporation lobby in the last legisla-
ture, seeking promotion to be lieuten-
ant governor, with possibility of fill
ing the governors chair, while the
democratic nominee for railroad COM
missioner used to be the trusted lieu
tenant of the notorious lobe Castor,
who for many years managed oil
room" politics for the railroad COM
bine. The democratic ticket is the
corporation ticket, and we can con-
ceive of nothing that Dahlman can
say on the liquor question that will
make such a ticket palatable for those
who, like us, have been fighting in
cessantly in Nebraska to throw off,
and keep off, the corporation yoke.

Mulhall, the Harvard statistician,
said some ten years ago that three
states in this union could be isolated
from all others and would yet be en-
tirely self-sustaining; that each had
all the mineral, vegetable and animal
resources and the soil to produce
everything human life needed. These
three states were Missouri, Alabama
and California. According to this,
then, Missouri need not feel the least
discouraged because it has failed in
the last decade to show a heavy in
crease in population. When the move
ment to exploit it's natural resources
gets further along We shall see some
development in the old state that
probably will attract much wider at
tention than the small gain of per
cent in population has done.

A Question of Franchise.

N duCoblUu VI
The abandonment of the opposition
to laying street car tracks along the
newly opened section of Twenty-fourth
street should not be taken to indicate
the settlement of the question of the
franchise of the street railway COM
pany. The city is still deeply con-
cerned in this and it must sooner or
later be settled as to what time the
franchise under which the company
operates shall determine. The Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway COM
pany is the successor to a number of
corporations holding charters from the
city of Omaha whose time limit ex-
pired at various dates. 1t has been
set up that the enabling act of 1889,
under which the companies then oper-
ated In omaha were permitted to con-
solidate. created perpetual franchise
The language of this law is vague and
uncertain on the point, but the courts
have held, and very recently, that
there Is no such thing rs a perpetual
franchise. The city has a right to
know under which one OF its several
consolidated franchises the street rail-
way company claims ITS privileges and
immunities. When this point is fixed
1t will be possible to make definite
plans for the future. Sooner or later
Omaha will be confronted with the
question of wbAG 20 do with the street
railway. and the first step should be to
ascertain exactly what the rights in
the case are.

Frivolous persons long have held that
there is very little difference between mar
rage and death and now that the supreme
court of New York comes along with a
decision declaring that they are identical
in one respect-they abate legal actions In
which the principals may have been In
volved.
All of which came as a frightful shock to
one lawyer who had figured on getting al.
least the price of a new fall bonnet out OF
a breach of promise action in which he was
endeavoring to collect $4,000 heart balm

wounded.
Judge Whitney decided that when Miss
Theresa Weinberg changed her name to
Mrs. Emmanuel Robinson the breach OF
promise action in which she had begun
against Mr.. Robinson curled up and died
1t was several months ago that Miss Vein
berg sought the aid Of a lawyer in an eff
fort TO make MIR. Robinson pay for trifling
with her affections. While the lawyer was
getting ready to make the man tell the
truth, and was figuring out his share OF
the gate receipts. Miss Weinberg and Mr.
Robinson decided to get married and put
the cost of the suit toward furnishing an
apartment for two. When the honeymoon
was over Mrs. Robinson wanted the court
to discontinue the suit. but the lawyer
would not consent.
Judge Whitney took the puzzle under con-
sideration and decided that the union Of
the couple ended the breach of promise
proceedings. And now there is one lawyer
giving a splendid imitation of a breach Of
the peace.

Greater New York is Robert c. Winter.
He is not as jolly as his name implies.
Some critics Of his farewell performance
regard him as the most unique specimen

ntendent of buildings in the borough Of
Bronx, with a salary OF 1900 a year. These
was nothing to do except to draw pay, for
the superintendent of buildings did the
experimenting and the assisting as well.
The office was merely lien on the puolc
funds. Winter stood It as long as he could
and then wrote to the borough president
this letter:
Dear President Miller: Since l was ar
pointed as assistant superintendent Of

the duties to the best OF my ability. l nave

THURSDAY, NovEMBE II, 1910.

The great victory of the Democratic
party at the election, November 8
carries with it grave responsibilities
The Democrats will have large ma
ioritv in the lower house and nearly
break even with the Republicans in the
senate. There are many opportunities
for reform, but the most pressing of all
is the tariff.
Champ Clark who will be Speaker OF
the house of representatives of the
next congress says wisely and WELL
.The first and greatest proposition
the Democrats should stand for Is a re-
duction in the tariff to a revenue basis:
/ would reduce it scientifically ana
gradually, and put into il a Siding
scale much like there wa, in the tarlff
bill of 1888. There is no question but
what the Democrats will he on their
good behavior in the next Congress,
and the future of our control Will de-
pend largely on our conduct, Demo
Gratis now have a golden opportunity
for constructive craftsmanship ana
should seize it and demonstrate once
more their fitness for legislating wisely
and patriotically.'
The Democrats,w not have ma
iority in both houses of congress to
control, they can only in the lower
house formulate legislation for an hon
est downward revision of the tariff If
faith is kept with the people Demo
cratic president in 1912 will follow; If
faith is broken, the party will 90 down
to defeat equally as crushing as has
lust been administered to the Repub-
licans, and will deserve to. The people
have shown that they know how to
deal with pledge breakers.
What a splendid victory it was
New York, Ohio, New Jersey, Connec-
ticut and Massachusetts, clecting Dem
ocrats of the highest type to the gov
ernorship; Indiana insuring Democrat
ic company for Shively in the senate;
New Jersey, New York. Nebraska,
Missouri, West Virginia and Ohio to
send Democrats to succeed Republic
ans in the senate and victories for the
lower, house all along the line

crat in congress should support mea-

perimenter meeting the fate of the COW
that was fed on sawdust-dying just a
bout the time she got used to the mon
otonous regimen.
II the food faddists would be little
more reasonable in their fads the pub
lie in general would be more fayorably
impressed. Instructions as TO chewing
and eschewing doubtless might be fol-
lowed to sensible extent with benefit,
but when a faithful disciple is advised
to chew his butter and his lemonade
and to eschew all solid foods for per-
iod of days he cannot be severely CEN
sured if he jumps the entire job and
resumes eating on the go-as-you-please
plan.
After all it may be as good luck as
any for the average man to eat what
he wants, so long as it agrees with his
purse and his digestion. Whatever
nav be his experience along that line
of least resistance he is at least likely
to last longer than the blooming
chump who tries to live on wind and
water.
