Diaz Still at the Old Stand.

General Porfirio Diaz has been re-
elected president of Mexico at the age
of 80, an office to which he was first
elevated in 1877 and which he has
held continuously since, except from
1880 to 1884, the interim being
utilized to have the constitution
patched up to make possible successive
elections.
This last election turned on a po-
litical conspiracy led by Francisco L..
Madero. But President Diaz, who
gained his original election as the re-
suit of successful plot to overthrow
the government, was not stepping into
any plots at the ripe old age of 80,
so he thoughtfully had Madero and as
many Of his co-conspirators as the jails
of Mexico would contain imprisoned
as a matter of convenience until after
election day and in the meantime man.
aged to gather up for himself all but
small fraction of the votes.
Madero's election, it is believed
would have checked the material prog
ress of the country and his defeat is
most significant of better spirit in
the southern republic, for it came as
the elimination of long ably-handled
movement with lecturers and literary
bureaus kept going in the United
States in an effort to turn sentiment
against Diaz. But Diaz had begun his
rule in 1877 by gaining first the conf
dence of his own people. To this
he added the confidence Of European
| investors and then he threw open the
country to foreign capital and enter
prise. The result of this policy ha:
been great progress and development
for Mexico, which is even now stand
ing upon a threshold of far greater
industrial, educational and commercial
expansion.
OF course the real verdict on Diaz'!
long reign will come after the man IL
gone. If his policies can stand with
out him, then he has not builded IL
vain, but until that is demonstrated
people who believe in popular govern
ment may look askance at a One-maI
power in a so-called republic, ever
though ruled by as strong a charactel
as Porfirio DiaZ.

Lacking Toward Alaska.

The time has come when Alaska
must command the attention of the
government and of private enterprise
for the development of it's resources,
as 1t is apparent that the key to this
complex and difficult situation lies in
attracting capital in vast quantities.
1t is simply a matter of whether the
government is willing to use its own
funds or to back private enterprise in
the exploiting of this natural kingdom
of wealth, for it is too gigantic a job
for small industry.
All agree that Alaska can never be
developed and settled as was the mid
die west, for its climate and location
forbid it.. Again, except in the south
ern part of the territory, its agricul-
tural opportunities do not make 1t
possible and even there two mountain
ranges stand between the farming land
and the coast, the shipping outlet, con-
shutting a barrier which the man OF
small means could not hope to sur
mount 1t would be sheer folly for the
government to expect to settle this
country as it did the level, accessible
prairies of the Transmissouri country
Nor is agriculture the only resource
well-nigh beyond the fruitful reach Of
small means; mining has been read
justed and placed on new basis unit
1t is most all being done by large or
CARNATIONS with which individual pri
vate enterprise could not hope to com
pete.
This country should never be giveI
over to unrestricted private monopoly
and under a wise administration a
Washington never will, but il is, in
deed, a question If it will not need TIL,

OF construction can be carried on un-
der government regulation and super
vision In such a way as to avoid evil
consequences from private exploita-
ton.
The president has the right idea in
proposing that a commission of experts
be stationed in Alaska to study care
fully its resources and the best means
of getting at them as a preliminary
step to systematic development. 1t
might even be invested with the power
of fixing the conditions of franchise
rights, but its original function would
be that Of investigation and whatever
grants it authorized should be subject
to approval by congress or the presi-
dent or both. This may be novel
procedure, but 1t suggests a practical
theory at least on which to start.
Alaska holds the wealth within her
bosom and there is no reason why 1t
should be left there untouched indeh-
nitely

What Else Could He Do Z

1t would be perfectly natural that
Theodore Roosevelt should take an
active part in the New York campaign,
as he evidently intends to do, espe-
cially If he feels that republican sue
cess is needful to civic advancement
He indicated very clearly in his speech
upon his return from abroad tho
obligation he felt himself under to
serve the people, whether in office or
not, and after preaching and practic-
ing these sentiments he would be
adopting a strange course not to stand
aloof from the coming contest
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken occasion
emphatically to deny the report that
he is opposed to the Hughes plan of
direct nominations, silencing at the
very outset the governors opponents,
who nave been counting on discredit-
ing his primary plan as a step toward
encompassing the ultimate defeat of
his policies in the state and of using
Roosevelt's name to that end. This
public avowal of the former presi-
dents position is construed to mean
that the weight of his influence will
be felt for the Hughes proposals.
1t is still doubtful who the republi-
cans of New York will nominate for
governor, since Governor Hughes has
decided to go to the supreme bench
but there is other available timber
and with a strong candidate and party
organization, supplemented with the
support of Theodore Roosevelt, repub.
lican success in the Empire state this
year may be looked for despite the
tremendous efforts of the opposing
forces.

Hard Tn for a Grievance.

Those Lincoln papers must be des-
perately pressed to find fuel to feed
the fires of anti-Omaha prejudice
which they have such hard time to
keep ablaze. Here is the Lincoln Star
trying to make hub-bub by accusing
Omaha of monopolizing the Bellevue
centennial celebration instead or
throwing it open to the whole state to
which it properly belonged. -
''If IL was really intended to be an
anniversary of any Importance in the
states history" whines the Star, 1.-The
state should have been permitted to
participate in it's celebration" And it
persists that lit is excusable for dwell
ers in other portions of the state to
take occasion now and then to remind
the people of Omaha that state ami
versaries are not subject to monopoly
by Omaha and that vicinity"
If the Star were not laboring in such
dense ignorance it would know that
the event celebrated was not the orig
inal incursion of the white man into
the territory that is now comprising
the state of Nebraska" but merely the
signing of an agreement by the origi-
nal Astor that led to the expedition
out of which the fur trading station at
Bellevue sprang. 1t would also know
that the celebration was under the aus
pices of the State Historical society
and that one session was presided over
by the governor of the state and an
other by the chancellor of the State
university, and that while the public
spirited citizens of Omaha footed all
the bills the invitation to participate
was open to the world.
Really, those Lincoln folks must be
hard up when they have to go to such
lengths to find a grievance.

Minnesota republicans held a state
convention last week In which ticket
was nominated giving recognition to
all elements of the party and plat
form promulgated on which all repub-
leans should be able to stand. The
Minnesota platform commends the ad-
ministration of President Taft, en-
dorses the work of their senators and
representatives in congress, accepts
the new tariff law as better than the
old and the best obtainable under the
circumstances, and looks to the tariff
board to provide a way for its inn
provement.
Here are the planks on two state
issues of more than ordinary interest:
PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
II has become notorious that the great
expense attendant upon primary elections
practically precludes men of moderate
means from becoming candidates for i'm
poTtant offices, and IL has become a
common thing for voters to vote for and
help to secure the nomination of men Of
opposite political faith. for whom they
we declare that legislation is impera-
lively needed that will reduce the ex-
pense of conducting a primary campaign
and to prevent voters from aiding in the
nomination of candidates that they are
seeking to defeat.
TEMPERANCE.
The republican party stands for the
strict regulation and control of the liquor
traffic. All the restrictive and regulative
provisions relating to the same now on
the statute books OF the state are the
fruits of republican legislation The repub-
llcan party stands for the strict and rigid
enforcement of all these provisions and
for the strict and rigid enforcement OF such
other and future provisions as the repre-
sentatives Of the people, elected by the
people, may in their wisdom enact; and
we pledge the party to a fair, fun and free
consideration OF all legislation pertaining
to the liquor traffic and its regulation.
Political conditions in Minnesota
may not be exactly the same as polit-
ical conditions in Nebraska, but the
work of the Minnesota platform max
ers at least furnishes something for
Nebraska republicans to think over.

Some one has discovered that our
Nebraska primary law as revised by the
late democratic legislature prohibits
platform conventions making express
sion for or against any candidate who
may be seeking nomination. If that
prohibition were valid and could be en-.
forced, the party in power could not
endorse it's own record or commend its
own officers, nor could the opposition
arraign the misdeeds of recreant Off
Gals or denounce their incompetencJ
or corruption. OF course, such idiotiC
legislation will not hold water. A sim
