Awkward.

In coming to Omaha to tell how
democratic legislators are betraying
the people by opposing his initiative
and referendum plan, Mr., Bryan is in
an awkward position.
The triad of arch-traitors heading
his list are the three democratic state
senators from Douglas county, who
have committed lese majestic by refus-
ing to take orders from Fairview. No
one disputes the fact that these sena-
tors are and have for years been no
torious corporation cappers, two of
them with previous malodorous legis-
lative records. But Notwithstanding
all that, Mr. Bryan during their last
campaign came here and pleaded for
votes for these three disreputables sim
ply because they had been nominated
on the same democratic ticket that
carried his own presidential electors.
Does Mr.. Bryan know anything
about this delectable trio of which he
was not fully advised two years ago
when he championed their cause and
went good for them?
What have they done since they
were elected to the legislature the last
time, that they were not expected to
do?
Is it not fact that they were slated
for nomination by Mr.. Bryan's political
managers for the express purpose of
getting the corporation and brewery
vote for the democratic ticket, with
out which Mr.. Bryan would not have
had even the empty honor of carrying
his own state?
The cards in the democratic deck
are said to be stacked for the renomi-
nation this year of several members
of the discredited Douglas delegation
which disgraced US in the last legisla-
ture.
Will Mr.. Bryan ask democrats to
vote for or against them II they are
nominated.
Or will he again shut his eyes and
hold his nose, and repeat his appeals
to vote 'er straight"

Comet and Commerce.

Crop conditions are steadily improv-
ing despite the comet. Scientific
measurements prove this to be~a fact
And as the crops always have an in
fluence on trade the latter is showing
greater activity than 1t did fortnight
not as good as it is now. Undoubtedly
crops, particularly wheat, have been
materially injured by the unseason-
able weather, which most people are
prone to attribute directly to Halley's
comet, giving 1t commercial distinc-
ton quite as great as it's astronomi-
cal, but the coming harvests If the
present forecasts based upon investi-
cation, may be relied upon, will not be
as poor as was feared.
The east is showing a remarkable
degree of confidence and perhaps the
fact may be taken as indicating that
the United States is in a state of transit

influence of the kings death has been

couraging for the stability of general
business and points Enthusiastically to a
departure from the hypnotic spell of
the stock market, a change decidedly
for the better. The east knows that
whether any particular section OF the
west yields a normal crop or not, the
total will enable business to hold it's
own and keep up with increasing de-
mands

To Clean Ont the Cobwebs.

One of the first things President
Taft did after coming into office was
to form his cabinet into budget COM
mittee to scrutiniZe every item in the
estimates for government expenditures
as a step toward economy and soon
after he decided upon thorough read
justment of the various departments of
the government. The two moves
rightly go hand in hand, both making
for economy and progress. To carry
out this policy a provision has been
inserted into the sundry civil appro-
priations bill authorizing the employ
mental housekeeping
1t is to be hoped that the presi-
dents wish will be complied with by
congress and that this work may be set
on foot and completed without serious
delay. In some of the departments
methods are in vogue today which were
pursued in thei infancy of the republic,
They are time MASTERS and money con-
sumers, cobwebs that should be swept
aside for modern businesslike pro-
cesses. The presidents plan, 1t is un-
derstood, contemplates an expert for
each kind of work, one on whose spe-
cial knowledge he may rely. He pro-
poses to let these experts go into the
various departments and weed out
every form or method that is obsolete
or Anticipated and supplant it with the
most modern business system even II
in so doing a head or two falls into the
official basket, although that will not
be the main object of their mission.

may be doubted, especially since the
price per lecture and future profits on
the investment are the determining fac
tors. Lucky office-seekers have even
found this an easy means of making
their campaign yield financial returns
instead of being a source OF expense to
them as formerly.
But the most serious objection to
the chautauqua as now conducted by
some of the syndicates is not primarily
that It affords men opportunity for in
creasing their incomes, but that it de-
grades the original function from
genuine education to agitation. The
influence of this must inevitably be
felt upon the public mind. The shrewd
promoter is not enough concerned
about the gospel his circuit rider
breaches, as he is over the question,
Can he hold an audience? Actual
worth is too apt to count less than
horseplay for the gallery.

Spirit of Decoration Day.

Mayor Busse of Chicago is the re-
cipient of general commentator for
denying a permit for the Gotch-
Zbyszko wrestle on Decoration day.
The day was not set apart as a holt
day for the selfish ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
such highly commercialized sports as
wrestling, and it is not right that true
homage to patriotism should be CAPT
talized into dollars and cents by those
enterprises whose "squareness' at
best is seriously questioned. If the
promoters of these contests will not
willingly recognize the spirit of the
day, then it is time they were forced
to and it is the duty of those in official
positions to show them the light.
Nebraska is one of the states that
enforces the observance, or at least
prohibits the dissertation of Memorial
day through legislative enactment and
its citizens do not regard it a hard
ship to turn aside from recreation one
day in the year to acknowledge their
debt to the soldiers of the civil war.
1t is asking little enough Of the Amer
lean people in the light Of the immor-
tai blessings which these veterans be-
slowed upon posterity to have them
devote one day in 365 to honoring
their heroes in war.
The wrestlers ought to let this oc-
casion teach them the lesson to go
slow in challenging public patience.
They have already pushed their bust
ness to the ragged edge of public toll
erance and if they do not exercise
more common sense professional
wrestling will reach the point of pro
hibition where boxing is in most of
the states.

Banks and Emigration.

The heavy emigration of farmers
from western and northwestern states
into Canada is being laid partially at
the door of western banks that have
loaned money extensively on farm land,
Internationally fostering baleful sys-
tenn of land speculation. The efflux
of farmers into the Dominion last year
was unprecedented and the banks have
come to realize that perhaps their
policy has had a contributory influ-
ence.
The fact is the man who owned land
in one of these states has had ample
opportunity of selling it off to new.
corners at fancy prices and he has
taken this money to Canada where he
could buy new land for n much smaller
figure. But the Objectionable feature
OF the transaction is the stimulating
force to this emigration. Last year
103,7S9 persons went from the United
States to Canada, while only $3.50
came from Canada over the line, and a
large nuuO6T VI the american 6lll-
grants were farmers, but the statisti-
clan says that the rule has been for the
merchant and blacksmith with whom
the farmer traded to follow him across
the northern boundary.
A Chicago banker is authority for the
statement that many of the financiers
of the west realize their mistake in OBJ
serving so free a policy of loaning
money on farm land and that from
now on they propose to tighten up.
The last report Of the comptroller Of
the currency disclosed the fact that
bank loans generally in the west have
expanded abnormally in the last year,
but as all business has been in a
healthy condition this might be posi-,
BILE and yet indicate nothing one way
or the other as to the wisdom of farm
loans.
OF course it will be necessary for
banks to continue fair policy in this
respect in a country that is growing
as rapidly as is the west and the deli
cate problem will arise in differentiat-
ing between land speculation and legi-
innate farm development

Excessive Freight Rates.
PHILADELPHIA Record.


The manufacturers of the country will
have the country behind them in their pro-
test against an excessive advance in rail-
road freight rates The advances already
made by western and New England rail-
roads seem to be out of proportion to the
advance Of wages or employees which the in
creased freight and passenger rates are in
tended to offset. 1t is all right that the
railroads should earn enough money to pay
their way. There should be no kick against
fair rates. The great desideratum at the
present time is to secure from the railroads
an abandonment Of secret rates and ar
rangements by means of which they I'M
justly discriminate between persons and be-
tween places. AS common carriers they
should sell their transportation at a COM
mon charge for common service rendered.
1t is the failure tosdo this that arouses just
resentment.

Another man who believes in quail
ity and in advertising it.
Louis G. De. Armand, advertising
man in Davenport, Ia, in letter to
Printers Ink, of January 26th, says:
1.-TWO years ago the VIM. c. H. Heuck
Company of this city decided to adver-
tise a Wisconsin cheese under the
name La Finesse, stamped all
around the rind with La Finesse.'
"of course this allowed for substi-
tuition for many months, but through
short, right-to-the-point ads we have
overcome this evil, and know that
buyers now look for the stamp on the

I'VE did not give anything away,
used no coupons, sent out no special
salesman nor canvassers. We just
relied on the papers here to get the

have the business.
THAT this campaign has been sue
cessful is evidenced by the fact that a
fcw months ago the Heuck Company
opened another branch in Moline, H.,
and from the very start. With newspa-
per advertising, has increased the sales
enormously in this new territory. BY
