H|LLEs DOOMED
To LEAD TAFT
FORCES IN 1872
Tactful Secretary Slated as
G. 0. P. Manager.
EARLY SELECTION URGED

Information was received in Wash
ington yesterday that the political lead
ers of the. administration have practi-
caIly decided to urge the selection of
Charles D. Hilles as chairman OF the
Republican National Committee. to sue
ceed Hitchcock. Whether President
Taft will consent to this selection is a
matter of conf ecture.
MIST BE Coon FIGHTER.
Close friends OF the President are said
TO be insistent that the man who is to
manage the Republican national cam
paign in 1912 shall be elected at the meet
ing OF the national committee 10 be held
in this city on December L. The call for
;his meeting sets forth that the commit
teemen are to be assembled for the pur-
pose of fixing a time and place for the
Republican national convention.
There is a reason for the argument
that a permanent chairman of the COM
mittee should be selected at the Decem-
ber meeting. II is pointed out that the
next campaign is bound to be bitterly
contested. Friends of Mr.. Taft take it
for granted that he will be renominated
and they are insistent that some sort
OF an organization in his behalf shall be
put in motion, TO do effective work be-
tween now and the meeting OF the ma
tional convention. 1t is pointed out that
usually the national committee is not put
in fighting trim until after the nominees
have been selected. Friends of the Presi-
dent are of the opinion that those who
are TO be in charge OF the 1912 campaign
should De trained in the work prior to
the convention.
Chairman's Hard Task.
Frank II. Hitchcock, who was chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee in 1908, is a strong advocate of
the maintainance of a permanent party
organization. Mr.. Hitchcock believes
that skeleton organization should be
maintained between campaigns, taking
the position that it is too much of a
task for a new chairman between the
date of the adjournment of a convention
and the beginning of a campaign to whip
All effective promotion force into shape.
So far as Mr.. Hilles is concerned,
great many people closely identified with
the Taft administration believe he is un-
chairman in z national campaign. They
say he performed unusually effective
service in New York in behalf of Mr.
Taft prior to the convention of 1905.
~. They point out that he is a man of
unusual tact. and insist that he has a
genius for political organization. Mr..
Hilles was doomed for the national

PrOgressives' New Idea.
While the December meeting of the
national committee is called to FIX a
time and place for the 1912 convention
other questions will have consideration.
The progressives intend TO ask the
committee to abandon the old plan of
electing delegates by convention and
TO consent to the scheme. OF selecting
delegates by a direct vote.
1t is understood TO be the intention of
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, to make a
demand on the committee that it shall
recommend TO State committees that
the direct vote system be adopted.

sink down into the Underworld, into which
no ray of hope ever penetrates. In the South,
the negro concubine loses nothing to the white
man that she would not have lost to some
black one; and her mulatto child stands a bet
ter chance of profitable employment than is
enjoyed by the pure African. To verify this
statement, use your eyes-in Pullmans, in
hotels, in barber shops, in departmental clerk
ships, etc.
Finally as to the mixed schools:
These are bound to inculcate false notions,
both in the whites and the blacks. To inter
mingle, in class-rooms and on play grounds,
on terms of social equality, tends to- dull, if
not debase, the fine sense of racial supremacy
which the white children inherit and should
perpetuate. If every State in the Union
should adopt the Nebraska school-system and
the Nebraska mixed marriages, we would, as
nation, be headed toward the mongreliza-
ton of peoples that has been the doom of
Portugal of South America and of Cuba.
God grant that some stalwart leader may
yet arouse Nebraska to the danger, to herself
and her neighbors, Of her present system.

Absolutely the only hope of radical reform
lies in a straight-out, aggressive and fearless

EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. ID. WATSON

One thing that the Democrats ought to take
up when Congress meets in extra session is the
sending of troops to the Mexican border and
inviting war with Mexico.
Where the President got his authority to
take any such step and his reasons for doing
SO ought to be sifted to the bottom and the
truth told to the people.
At first the war department claimed that it
was done only to prove to those who had
been criticising the War Department that said
criticism was erroneous and njust.
That excuse was too fimsy to fool the peo-
pie, and one excuse after another has come
from Administration circles so fast that it is a
job to keep up with them, but the one now
most relied upon to pull the wool over our eyes
is that the army was sent to Texas to guard
American interests in Mexico.
What American interests are there in Mex
leo that require more than ne-third of the
United States army, armed and equipped for
a long campaign, to protect?
The Morgan Guggenheim interests and the
interests OF a few other rich Wall Street
bankers
The Morgan-G uggenheim crowd demanded
that an armed force be sent to the Mexican
border to answer their beck and call. and the
Morgan Guggenheim crowds order was
obeyed by the President and the Secretary of
War.
To obey the demands of the Wall Street
gamblers, Mr.. Taft has usurped the power of
Congress, and maybe, before the trouble is
over, 7o1I haze sacrificed thousands of honom
lines.
Not many days ago Mr. Roosevelt was
brazen enough to tell a California audience
that he took Panama.
And he told the truth.
He said that the custom would have been
for him to send 2O0-page State document to
Congress and let Congress decide what to do.
Said the ex-President:
/ am interested in the Panama Canal because
L started it, If had followed traditional conser-
Vat1Ve methods, would have submitted dig
n1hed State paper of probably 200 pages to Con-
gress, and the debate on it would have been going
on yet; but l took the Canal Zone and let Con-
gress debate; and while the debate goes on the
canal does ALSO

predecessor and carried us long step further

other periodical does this, but we have fair
play laws of our own, and find that they bear

MIR. Burroughs admits that his State does
not forbid the istermarriage of blacks and

needed. "The people of Nebraska do not have

lies along the Ohio state line. ana
the village Is some IL miles south or

has not manifested any great interest
in the good roads movement, and has
held aloof from the county organiza-
ton.
The meeting had for it's chairman
former Representative +. Trabbic.
and Dr. Fought, for secretary In
the discussion il was made plain that
Erie had no especial interest in the
Detroit Toledo road, but was con.
cerned in stone road which would
give access az all seasons OF the year
to Toledo, which they hold to be the
natural market for the township.
IL was determined that the town
ship should vote TO bond itself for

sufficient interest to subscribe enough
