John Jay and Hughes, the first arid tho

the supreme court of the United States,

for the present vacancy which everybody
seems to expect. But how queer II would
bel Jay resigned that office, after serv-
ing only a few years, to become governor
OF New York. Hughes would be resign
ing the office Of governor of New York
after serving few years, to become chief
justice OF tho United States What does
this contrast mean? Mainly, that while
New York has grown beyond the widest
dreams of its founders our great court
has grown In prestige and honor still
faster. Imagine a man 'laying down a
place on that tribunal today to become
chief justice Of the supreme court of
South Carolina, and yet that is what Rut-
ledge, Jays successor, did, and he only
came back to the supreme court when
Washington offered to make him it's
chief. Ellsworth, the next man in line,

scntimentnlism and Crime.
Ralttt,,ara Annarican

A New York magistrate mas lifted his
voice against the extreme to which care
and consideration for the criminal are be-
ing carried, and the consequent difficulties
for law-abiding people to obtain justice.
The law Of the present time In it's mis-
placed sympathies seems to be trying to
abrogate the eternal dictum that tho way
Of the transgressor is hard. The aim OF
the senvenentalism of the day is to turn 1t
into path of roses apparently, according
to this sane and sensible magistrate, whose
protest Is timely. -

Last winter woman customer of a
certain house bought a cloak for sac.
After a few weeks wear the satin
cuffs frayed, the lining dropped below
the hem, the binding of the button
holes wore out. She happened to be a
regular customer of this store, but
that doesn't matter. She took the
cloak back, thinking the store would
be willing to do something about it.
The proprietor sent her to the man
ager. the manager sent her to the
buyer, the buyer laid 1t all to the man
ufacturer, and there 1t rested. Nothing
was done to give this woman, this GUS
toner, $40 worth of value for her $40.
Gentlemen, the proprietor Of this
store shifted his responsibility, he set
the example, manager and buyer coulu
but follow him. He practically told this
woman that he did not guarantee his
goods, that his manufacturers were
were not reliable. that she took a
chance OF losing her money when she
bought goods in his store.
1t is just such practices as this that
drives trade away from home mer-
chants, that makes mail order depart
ments profitable to large retail stores
in other cities. They say; TITS good or

Because the democrats kept county
option plank out of their platform
must not be taken to mean that there
are no county option democrats. The
fact is that outside OF Douglas and
Lancaster counties there are probably
as many county option democrats az
county option republicans. The liquor
question cuts straight across party
lines and not along party lines

The Significant Fsaturs.

Some critics are endeavoring to take
issue with the assertion of The Bee
that the significant feature of the Me-
braska republican platform convention
is the decisive vote of approval and
confidence in President Taft and the
work of congress along the line of his
recommendations. They would have
us believe that the action of the con-
vention in standing up for one of the
staunch supporters of the president for
permanent chairman by vote Of more
than two to one and later reciting in
the platform unanimously adopted the
notable achievements of the admins
tration, is OF secondary and minor inn
portance to the declaration in favor OF
county option.
These critics forget or overlook the
fact that the regulation of the liquor
traffic is purely local proposition and
that republicans outside of Nebraska
are not specially concerned whether
the party in Nebraska is for one plan
of liquor traffic regulation or another,
or for Its absolute prohibition. Re-
publicans outside of Nebraska, how
ever, are interested In knowing that
the republicans in Nebraska acknowl-
edge and approve the leadership OF
President Taft. The action of the con-
vention is notice that republicans in
Nebraska are steadfastly progressive
In the same sense that President Taft
IL progressive, and that they are
neither reactionary nor Insured
tionary.
