A Rennhlioan Trinmnh.

The New York state convention,
over which Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator Root presided, is the most dis
tinct triumph the republican party has
achieved in many years. II sounded
the death knell OF reactionary leader
ship and the call to arms Of a united
party under the progressive banner
From the election of Colonel Roose-
welt as temporary chairman to the
adoption of the platform and the nom
ination of the ticket. It was a victory
for harmony and progress, an endorse
ment of Taft and Hughes and q stern
reputation of the reactionary influ-
ences seeking to control the party.
To begin with, Theodore Roosevelt
dominated the convention. He scored
his personal victory for chairman, die
tated the platform and nominated the
candidate for governor, whom the con-
vention accepted. His speech of ac-
ceptanee of the Craftsmanship and the
platform he dictated turned upon the
pivot OF unequivocal endorsement,
praise and advocacy of Taft and Taft
ism, and the gubernatorial candidate,
is prominently the choice of the
president, whose personal note of con-
graduation is so strong and SO cordial
as to leave no room for doubt that IL
Taft instead Of Roosevelt had been
proposing the nominee IT would have
been Henry l.. Stimson.
Not since the misehieveus talk of
friction between Taft and Roosevelt
began has there been such a sweeping
reputation of 1t as is furnished in all
the deliberations of this convention.
From now on any such talk can only
be regarded as the artificial trick of
anti-republicans to discredit the party
and encompass it's defeat. The selec-
tion of Elihu Root as permanent chair
mar of the convention was in itself
enough to clinch the rivet of harmony,
for he has borne practically the same
relation to the Taft administration as
he did that of Roosevelt.
Undoubtedly the New York, republi-
cans have nominated strong man for
governor and have given him a popu-
lar and effective platform>on which to
run. AS the successful prosecutor of
the Sugar trust and other powerful
agencies, he comes into the campaign
a tried and true man, a typical expo
nent of the new Taft-Roosevelt school
of deeds, not words" He will run
on a platform which, endorsing and
embracing Taft-Roosevelt- Hughes poll
cies. ought to appeal with telling eff
feet to the best citizenship, the over
whelming majority of the state.
Already the "Old Guard" or its
leader. William Barnes. jr., is com
mitted to the success OF the ticket. II
will be very strange If the republicans
of the first state in the union do not
set the pace for others to follow this
| fall.

Along the Line
Political shots, Personal aaps and
Breezy Comment from the vigi-
liant Country Editors Of Nebraska

Rearney Times II one could forget the
history of the Nebraska State Journal one
might have more confidence in its present
high moral tone.
Kearney Democrat: Just as soon as ID. E.
Thompson cleaned up S5OOO,O00 on his
Mexico railroad deal he sold the Lincoln
Star. He wanted to save his money.
Culbertson Banner: II requires thirty days
for the democrats to decide who was nomi-
mated for governor at the primary election
How long will It take them to find out
who is the choice OF the people at the No
vember election?
O'Nelll Frontier: Many old wheel horses
of Holt county democracy predict that this
county will give Aldrich and the republi-
can ticket a majority of 500. They say It
will be a regular Maine landslide but that
the slide will be in favor OF the republi-
cans instead Of the democrats.
Blue Springs Sentinel: The tables have
turned and the eastern man now looks upon
the farmer as the plutocrat Well, he has
had short inning and he is not likely to
vote his inning away, for awhile yet IL he
can help It for it has been long time
coming.
Aurora Republican: When the people OF
Nebraska elected George L. Sheldon and
the legislature in 1906, they won a great
victory over the mighty corporations. But
the corporations knocked 'em out in 1908
and carried away the belt. Are the people
doing the necessary training to come
back" in 1910?
Alma Record: Now that the governor
has come out in a published statement
offering his services to the democratic
state committee saying he is for Dahlman
and ready to work for his election, we
wonder what those anti-saloon leaguers
who helped 10 elect him two years ago
think about It.
Grand Island Independent: BY the way,
we hear very little this year about the
National Corn show; there is comparatively
| less interest on the part of the general
public in progressive corn growing and
| Nebraska ought to be able to realize by
comparison. the educational value to the
whole state OF Omaha's enterprise in Sc
curing the show for 1908 and 1909.
| Humboldt Leader: Republicans of the
First district are receiving recognition from
all parts of the nation as a result of their
wisdom in selecting a candidate for con-
gress and the election of Will Hayward
seems to be a foregone conclusion. His ex-
cellent showing on primary day will be
more than, duplicated, as he will have
an opportunity on election day to
receive the votes of his democratic friends
which were denied him on primary day.

Nature and Nebraska.

King Ak-Sar-Ben is a merry king
and laughs with King Corn in the
golden sunshine of early autumn. 1t
is the most glorious season of the
year, and nowhere else in creation does
nature wear a more benignant and at
tractive aspect than in Nebraska dur
ing the fall. Views that enchant the
eye, colors that are at once the delight
and despair of the painter, and vistas
that inspire the poet, are here on every
hand. Every prospect pleases," and
the people unite together in one glad
paean of thanksgiving that they are
permitted to live in Nebraska, where
nature pours out her bounty with un-
stinted hand, and man has but to exert
himself to receive lavish return for
proper effort
And this is why Ak-Sar-Ben comes
to bid the people welcome, and why
the people respond with joyous and
jubilant accord to that welcome. And
the Kingdom of Onivera rejoices at
the fullness of the harvest, at the JOY
BUSINESS OF the season and with great
gladness' in the Joy of life. 1t is good
to live in Nebraska at all times, but
in the autumn it is a privilege that is
priceless

CALL OF THE CLOTH.
Thoughts Suggested by Retirements
from the Pulpit.


Baltimore American.
Is the call of the cloth becoming less
powerful? IL SO, what cause may be as
signed? Why, for instance, should the Iowa
Methodist conference be presented with a
dearth of preachers in proportion to the
appointments. causing the situation to be-
come critical for the denomination in one
of Its most important fields? Why should
fifty-three pastorates be vacant, while the
records show that many men called to the
ministry have departed from following the
gospel to engage in secular employment?
Such an exodus of young men whose train
ing has qualified them 10 preach the gospel
is almost without parallel in the history OF
any conference or like ecclesiastical body.
The denominations, the country over, are
bordering. They fear a warning is held
forth in this exceptional but by no means
solitary instance of young men laying aside
the cloth to enter into the arena with their
fellows in the toll of secular labor.
The immediate reason assigned for the
failure of the cloth to make its call
effective or permanent with SO many quail
fled young men is that the salaries paid
in the ministry are entirely too small. Is
this the case? The latest statistics disclose
the fact that in the country and small
town circles OF cnurcneS tne Sdlar1es aver
age not more than $780, running down to the
vanishing point. On the other the churches
in cities rating over 100000 population pay
an average salary that compares with
those paid in secular employment. In
Methodist churches of this class the salary
average is above $1,000 The situation APP
pears to be not that the preachers are
paid too little but they are too dispropor-
tomato.
The fact must be borne in mind that the
clergyman's duties are never finished, that
he holds services and various business
and other meetings and conferences nearly
every night OF the week, besides attending
to the routine OF pastoral duties and church
administration. He has the preparation of
sermons and lectures for critical congrega-
lions. besides being expected to keep in
formed in current literature and on public
questions, to be an encyclopedia upon all
subjects. He must likewise be a model OF
good temper and gracious department. The
task presented TO the minister is most
difficult. When to 1t is added lack Of
proper subsistence It is little wonder If
young men read above the portals OF the
church the legend, "Ye that enter here
leave hope behind" and reading turn away
Such at least IL the tone in which the
problem of the pulpit is discussed In church

The crops are so near maturity that we
are almost able to say they are as much
as garnered and ready to turn into cash
A conservative estimate puts a value on
them Of over $500. 100000, about the same
as last year. Therefore, James ]. Hill is
not a bad prophet He put his estimate at
50, 00Q, 100000. Literally speaking. the eoun-
try can comfortably spare the half billion
we fall short of, for there will still remain
enough to insure a normal year of pros
perity. For this we can feel thankful
considering the frequent vagaries of the
weather, which at times brought us close
to a lean year. % A good harvest was we'll
nigh Indispensable as 1t is in the end the
new wealth 1t creates which is the very
foundation of our prosperity.
Political agitation, such eventualities as
disputes over rates and wages possible
adverse court decisions over the present
methods OF organizing and operating large
corporations and even our numbering fis-
cal policy and our makeshift national
banking law are all merely superficial
troubles capable of adjustment by man
But a crop failure Is prostrating to busi-
ness until another season comes along to
apply it's corrective. Scratch a finger and
while 1t hurts, the pain soon passes away.
However, IL vital organ is attacked, a
serious condition sets in at once. Thus 1t
is with business. All the present agita-
ton can but scratch and pain the body OF
prosperity temporarily, but allow drouths
pests or frosts to ruinously attack our
crops and blow is struck at the most
vital part OF our prosperity.
So that, after all, we have nothing to fear
for the next twelve months, as long as we
are certain to turn mother earth's output
into over $50 900, 900 cash.
