CAIRO, Egypt, June 2t.-Sir
Eldon Gorst. the British agent
and consul geenral in Egypt, has
been officially "whitewashed" by
the Egyptian government. It was
he who was theoretically attacked
by Col. Roosevelt in the .latter-s
London address for alleged mis-
management in Egypt.
The Conservative party has
tried to make capital out of
Roosevelt's criticism of Gorst, and
1t was to counteract them that the
Liberals gave Gors's management
official approval.
Gorst has been in the service nj
the British foreign Office since
1885, coming to Egypt as tax col

Much more than customary In

night, when she is to be seen in
J. M. Barrie's latest comedy
What Every Woman Knows"
The role that she handles is that
of little Scotch woman who
would have her husband become
a big figure in the world of poll
tics. This husband is stubborn
with will of his own. The
comedy is Scotch in its scenes and
characters and in its unfolding
Barrie takes many a sly dig al
the peculiarities of his people.
The curtain will rise promptly at

TWO Severe Indictments.

Two severe indictments of demo
cratic control in Nebraska have just
come from two different sources, both
of which profess to be democratic, al
though discrediting one another.
In his Columbus Telegram Edgar
Howard denounces the reputation by
Governor Shallenberger of the pledge
in the last democratic state platform
to onven the legislature in extra SEES
sion. THE editor Of the Telegram"
he declares, was a member of the
platform committee of the last state
convention" and continues:
Certain influences induced the commit
tee to write a platform e~mbodying the re-
quest to Governor Shallenberger to call q
special session Of the Legislature. The ed
itor Of the Omaha World-Herald was also
a member Of that platform committee.
When the proper time arrived for the car
rying out of the platform strangely enough
some OF the men who helped write the doc
ument began efforts looking to its repudia-
ton. The World-Herald was the prime
leader OF the work Of reputation. Gov

voice Of the regulators.
Judge Howard insists that he may
be, perhaps, a little old-fashioned, but
his ~old-fashioned democracy still holds
that an individual or a political party
is bound by every dictate of honor to
make good every promise.
The other indictment comes from
our amiable democratic contemporary,
the World-Herald, which shows UP in
true colors the viciousness Of the open
primary and the blanket primary bal
lot saddled on Nebraska by the late
democratic legislature. The open Dri-
mary. 1t assures us, is a great help to
machine bosses and professional
spoilsmen in politics by giving them
an opportunity to mass their forces In
either party as they deem 1t necessary,
II also gives the members of one party
an opportunity to foist weak candidates
upon the ticket OF the opposing party.
And the two objections, taken to-
gether, combine into this overwhelm-
ing one-that in a government by par
ties II leads 70 the breaking down of
party lines and so to the destruction
OF party responsibility" This is Just
what the democratic governor and leg
islature OF Nebraska did when they
emasculated the ~salutary provisions OF
the closed primary law which had been
put on the statute books by the repub.
licsns.
Yet the democratic regulators will
have the hardihood to ASK to be o n
tinued in power in Nebraska as an en-
dorsement Of their record.

New York Tribune.
Perhaps no one drops in" at the White
House, but that is not true Of the senate,
The advent OF the new senator from North
Dakota was certainly the most casual in
many years. The senate was surprised
when a total stranger came in with some
Informal writing from the governor Of his
state and demanded a seat. No one was
aware that the seat was vacant up to the
moment when the new senator arrived to
claim 1t.
The chief wonder is that the senator came
from the west, whence new members are
wont to arrive with the sound OF many
voices, the roar of multitudinous press
agents and the thunder of applauding chau-
tauquas. Before one OF them has crossed
