When Nebraska's last democratic
legislature was in session the larger
part Of the lawmakers time was de-
voted to connecting and enacting
measures creating new offices for the
governor to fill and transferring to the
governor patronage previously vested
in other officers. The moving inspira-
tion for this performance was the fact
that the democrats had managed in
the preceding election to win out with
their candidate for governor, while
losing out with their candidates for
other state offices.
Almost the first of these measures
of political reprisal was a law taking
away from the republican secretary Of
state the right to designate the news
papers in which publication of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment
should be made and vesting In the
democratic governor the distribution
of this pie to make sure that none but
good democratic organs should share
in it.
The outcome of the election this
year has proven to be almost the irony
of fate. The governorship has been
regained by the republicans by a de-
cisive majority, and while the rest of
the state ticket for a while trembled
in the balance, 1t was plainly seen as
the returns came in that II the demo-
Gratis were to capture any Of these
Offices 1t would be that of secretary Of
state, on which the margin was un-
comfortably close. Had It turned out
that the republicans had exchanged
the secretary Of state for the governor
it would have been democratic chick
ems come home to roost. The patron
age which the democrats had been so
careful to take away from that ONCE
to keep it from republican hands
would, in fact, have been taken away
from the only once under democratic
control and restored to the repub-
| licans.
All Of which goes to show that there
is nothing certain in love- war or poll
tics and that laws made to meet a par
ticular exigency are likely to operate
just the other way by the time the
pendulum makes its swing

mania for thrills. The setting could not
have been more grimly effective. or
course, it lie just barely possible that
the painter Of this spectacular picture
was affected by the scenery. But he
scarcely would have dared to charge
innocent people with the work Of
ghouls. In the name of humanity some
body should have e1erted an effort
at depressing such morbid curiosity
and heartless disregard OF death.
1t appears that tombstone let his
worlds championship honors for high
flying embolden him too much. He had
played tricks with the air in lower al
titudes, and though he appreciated
the hazard in the rare atmosphere OF
the mountain country, he yielded to
that impulse that must come to men
who have dared gamble with death to
the extent that he did and lost. II will
be a lesson to other aviators to ap-
proach the air problem according to
attitudes

Traffic in Impure Food.

II charges as to traffic in impure
food articles made by the New York
World are correct a deplorable stu
alton exists in that city, involving not
only dealers in these commodities, but
city officials whose business it is to
protect the public from just such out
RACES. The World recently submitted
report of its private Investigations
to the health commissioner with a de-
mand that he discharge certain sub
ordinates. In the course OF its report
the newspaper said:
/. That an enormous business in purchase
and sale Of putrid and decomposinG eggs.
known in the jargon Of the trade as riots
and spots" exists in New York City.
2. That these eggs are disposed Of to
bakers and cake manufacturers, who use
them in the manufacture Of sponge cake
pound cake, lady fingers, and other cake
stuff that are yellow-hued and made prin-
oipally of eggs
.. That this trade has been carried on for
years under the tacit permission, II not the
active assistance, OF the men intrusted by
the city with the inspection and care Of
food for the city.
In addition to these discoveries it
is disclosed that candy is sold to chill
dren that has to be subjected to sui
phurous acid processes before it can
be placed on the market. These dis
closures in the midst of state and ma
tional crusades for pure food are APP
palling, not only as showing the crimi-
nal rspacity Of some merchants, but
the ruthless indifference of themselves
and their official confederates to law
and what law is attempting to do for
the protection of life and health. II
there is an adequate punishment that
could be melted out to the men respon-
sible for this traffic, whose effects can
not be confined to one city or one state
very long, it should be inflicted with
all possible dispatch.

Wilson and Harmon.

Already early indications point to
a spirited contest between Governor
Harmon Of Ohio and Elect
Wilson Of New Jersey for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination in 1912.
Friends OF both men are laying plans
and the next two years are likely to
be full OF activity on both sides. Bar
ring new entries and unforeseen condi-
lions, one OF these men will, in all
probability, get the nomination.
In the old days before the ascend
ancy OF Bryan and his wing OF the
party, the democrats Of the south and
east generally stood together as
against the west and evidences now
point to a return to this alignment.
DR.. Wilson is a native of the south
and while he was educated there, most
of his mature life has been spent in
the east. He as nearly typifies the con-
sentative democracy of the east and
south as any other man and. having
been a close personal friend Of Grover
Cleveland and intimately associated
with the Cleveland democrats, he
would very naturally attract all these
old forces to his side. The south, in
It's jealous determination to send an
other man to the White House, al
ready has begun to manifest it's anx-
iety In behalf Of DR.. Wilson.
n,,A n. conditions
now stand, might extend into the west
and probably attract Bryan and HE
following in preference TO Harmon.
The Bryan faction, while preferring
man like Folk, could scarcely be re-
lied on TO support Governor Harmon,
no matter who might be his opponent.
Furthermore, if Hearst and John r.
Mclean Join the Harmon party, as
they now promise to do, or in fact
have done, that would still further
ALLEVIATE Bryan and his influence from
the Ohio man and throw them to will
son IL compelled to choose between
these two. Hearst's ardent support of
Harmon would moreover have a tend
ency to repress any inclinations Of
Tammany in that direction.
Both Wilson and Harmon have dis
played remarkable strength in their
recent elections and relying upon them
to make no egregious plumbers in the
next two years, they would seem to
have & fairly good lead in the race for
the democratic nomination, though It is
improbable that Folk or another man
Of his school will not at least qualify
as an entry. II the rumor of a precon-
oeived plot to wipe Bryan off the map
be true, it might hurt quite as much
as help the Harmon cause, to have it
disclosed this far in advance.

which pursued 1t until II was swallowed

very one whose breaking caused his

OF the dog.
When JohnstOne's machine crashed
to the ground with his broken body
pinned beneath it, ghouls rushed in
and as II unmindful OF the fatality,
fought for pieces Of the machine and
the mans clothing as souvenirs. One
monster even seized a stick that had
been thrust into the body OF the avi-
ator and ran with it, still dripping the
victims blood. When the body was
