Democratic politicians need not
waste much time specializing whether
the invitation extended by the governor
Of Nebraska to the governor of Ohio
means that Harmon is the preferred
choice of Mr.. Bryan for the next presi-
Dental nomination. 1t is much more

The American people long ago learned
that II they could have confidence in their
executive head they would not need to dis
turb themselves unduly over congress. The
president who carries the people with him
&c q president who is qualified 20 carry
congress with the people. No, one who un-
derstands the actual situation in congress
is disturbed over the lack Of harmony in
some particulars, as the general tone OF
the body is inspired by the absolute con-
fidence that the great majority have in Mr..
Taft.
Those who see mountains in mole hills
are prone to regard the lack of accord In
the republican ranks as indication OF disin-
tegration. These superficial observers do
not exercise the economic acumen to un-
'derstand that the actual facts are that the
republican party Is growing into the ex-
panding environment Of the nation. 1t is
assuming the proportions OF the country's
enlarged industrial proportions, 1t is taking
on flesh and is becoming stronger in thew
and sinew in response to the deman of
the times that the party that guides the
.destinies Of the nation shall not be con-
fined by puny propositions or cramped by
obsolete policies. Mr.. Taft is glad to see
the party grow with the country, and he
has himself outlined the direction Of It's
growth with excellent regard for the fac
tors of national progress. The United
States Is most fortunate in having this
type OF a. man In office when the condl-
lions that Inspire progress come under such
la commanding personality as that of Mr..

Accustomed to the annual antics of
our own unruly streams, Americans
are watching with much interest re-
ports of the progress of the tiuvial
floods in France. Since the days of
Napoleon the Great the French gov
eminent has been engaged in the work
of combining and Harvesting the rivers,
The internal waterways of France have
been frequently referred to as models
that might we'll be adopted by Ameri-
cans for the Improvement of our
streams. And now, when confronted
with the unusual conditions that visit
this country from time to time, the
French find themselves in very much
the same condition as do the low-land
denizens of Kansas City, Cincinnati,
Pittsburg and Cairo when the rivers
rise.
1t is possible that a lesson may be
learned by us from the French meth
DDS of combating the situation. At no
point in the United States is 1t posi-
BILE to throw a force of 10000 soldiers
into the rescue work, yet in all the
river towns are great bodies Of work
men who may be massed for efficient
service when occasion requires. 1t
only remains to be demonstrated
whether the French methods of evad-
ing the effects of q river food are as
far in advance of urs as are their
ways of utilizing the river when it is
on it's good behavior.

Looking for NOtOriety.

Congressman Hitchcock is looking for

serious charges against SECRETARY OF the
Interior Ballinger. charging him with ex-
t-ravagance In conduct OF land offices. Ex-
pendltures win show much increased over
any previous administration, IL we are not
much mistaken. but one Of the legitimate
reasons for this is the fact that the offices
were put on an entire new system of ac-
counting July l. 1905. superseding the Old
system. which had been in use practically
without change for more than fifty years,
The new system Is undoubtedly much more
preferable, because It shows all details
fully and gives no chance for theft or
graft. but II can not be handled with
anything like the number OF employees used
for the old system. and with the new sup
plies that we're required, this item alone
will make a big showing in expenditures.
OF course It is the part Of the politician
to take advantage Of such facts. regardless

1t is announced that Gilbert M. Hitch
cock will be a candidate for the United
States ~senatorship. While we would pre-
fer him to Thompson, yet we do not con-
slider him very strong, and for the good
of the party think w. J. Bryan should
be drafted for the place. With Bryan and
shalenberger, leading the democratic hosts
Nebraska can be kept in the democratic
column. There is work to be done in the
upper house Of congress and Bryan is one
of the men to put in charge Of It He
would be a credit to Nebraska and an

Getting PrenaturaIIy Busy.
Lincoln News.

The activity which marks the con-
gressional career Of the Honorable Gilbert
NJ Hitchcock just at present may be
taken as conclusive evidence that the
Omaha editor proposes getting into the
senatorial race In Nebraska later on In
the year. Ordinarily Mr.. Hitchcock does
not insist upon occupying the front Of the
stage, blu Just before campaigns he grows
prenaturally busy. 1t is rare indeed that
an editor seeks to secure the office OF
senator. Usually he has accumulated so
many devoted enemies that he wisely
keeps away from a place where they can
swat him good and hard. 1t may be urged,
however. in Mr.. Hitchcock's case that he
is more politician than editor, but that
is a characteristic OF Omaha Journalists.

ALI About the Big Noise.

A terrible outcry now arises because
the house committee on expenditures
in the Interior department, which is in
v~estigating the charges of extrava-
gance and misappropriation of funds
preferred by Congressman Hitchcock
on the basis of alleged "rumors," has
declined to turn the witnesses over to
Mr.. Hitchcock for cross-examination,
but requires the questions to be put by
members of the committee. If the
"rumors" fail to be sustained, of
course our valiant congressman will
insist that 1t is due to this action by
the committee, and that if he were only
permitted to be the whole thing he
would have brought in a verdict of
guilty.
1t happens that the committee that
is doing the investigating contains
among it's members three of the demo-
cratic persuasion, Page of Georgia,
Hardy of Texas and Hughes of Georgia,
who are all doubtless just as eager-as
MIR. Hitchcock to get something on the
administration for s as democratic
campaign capital. These. three demo-
crats are not likely to let anything get
away that looks damaging to a repub-
lican whether Mr.. Hitchcock asks the
questions or not. The "holler" that is
being put up in advance by the Hitch
cock organ sounds very much like a
big noise in anticipation of a ~fall-down.

The annual physical test for the army
and navy has been tho subject Of official
attention, with a view to changing the
conditions so as to bring the requirements
more within the purpose of the order, that
OF cultivating and intoxicating the habit of
frequent daily exercise on the part of mem
bers OF the commissioner personnel of the
milttary-nava establishments. The president
has approved the recommendations which
have been made by the secretary of the
navy In favor of certain ampllflcations of
the requirement. These changes are set
forth In q general order published on an
other page. The physical test applied to all
officers on the active list of the navy,
whether serving ashore or af.oat, with GER
tain exceptions, remain as heretofore, with
a fifty-mile walk, a ninety-mile horseback
ride, or the 1o0-mile bicycle ride in three
days. In the War department the author
tiles are giving consideration to the plan,
favored by the secretary Of war, OF re-
curing regular exercise, such as a daily
walk OF three miles in one hour or a daily
horseback ride of six or eight miles in
that time. This performance is to be, an
average of six days a week and 1t may be
decided that the gait Of the horse, in the
case of the rider. shall be specified. II Is
not proposed to do away with the annual
physical test, although that may be
changed so as to require, in the case Of
cavalry officers, a three-day ride Of 100
miles In the aggregate and, in the case of
other officers who elect to ride, the pres
ent distance Of ninety miles in three days.
The attention Of the Navy department has
been directed to the action Of a municipal
judge In Portland, Ore, who was asked
to suspend sentence In the case OF a youth
full culprlt in order that the young man
might enlist in the navy as a means of
discipline, punishment and reform. The
eminent justice hesitated to adopt the sug-
gestion, not because ne appreciated that
the navy was not a place for incorrlgible
boys or for youths who needed special
corrective attention, but merely on the
ground that he doubted whether the boy
would emain In the navy to receive the
benefits of the service. He evidently
thought the avenues of escape for such
a oulprit justified proceeding with caution.
This attitude of judicial mind toward the
purposes Of the United States navy is the
more remarkable on account OF the loca-
tlon OF the Judge and what must nave been
his opportunities for acquiring a knowl-
edge OF the naval service.
