UNDER WHICH FIAei

Rushvilie Standard: (dem.): The sooner
Bryan's leadership h repudisted. the better
for the democratic party
o'Nein Frontier: Nebraskas one and
only peerless william ]. Bryan has az
nouneed for about the steenth time that he
will not be candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination AS far rs we have
been able to learn no one has been urging
his nomination.
David City Banner: The breach between
Senator Hitchcock and william jennings
Bryan Is daily widening. and 1t need not
be demonstrated by evidence that in
nearly all OF the things that concern a
square deal for the people, Bryan Is al
ways in the right and Hitchcock always
wrong. Not only is the great commoner
the most able man democracy has pro-
dueed in century, but he is today the
greatest private citizen in the world.
Albion News; The expected has hap
pened-the Omaha world-Herald has
broken with w. J. Bryan. Ever since the
Grand Island convention there has been
indications that II was only a question of
time when Hitchcock and bryan would
be fighting for supremacy in Nebraska
II has come over the wool tariff, Bryan
insisted on following the time honored
democratic policy of free wool, while the
World-Herald has sided with those who
propose % retain at least part Of the duty
on raw wool.
Fremont Tribune: The worid-Heraid
has taken issue against Mr.. Bryan on the
wool schedule. 1t stands with Chairman
Underwood and the majority Of the demo-
Gratis OF the house in favor of a tariff on
raw wool. Mr. Brysn has stubbornly In
sisted upon free WOOL For this the World
Herald has rebuked him. In the course of
it's crusade It has presented a cartoon OF a
democratic house presenting the consumer
with half loaf as better than no bread.
This attitude is significant, for the World
Herald has taken strong ground against
President Taft and his administration for
having given the people tariff bill that
did not, in its judgment go as far in the
way Of reducing the rates as should have
been done. When the president signed the
bill he said 1t was not what he wanted but
IL was the best that could be had under the
circumstances and he would accept II
rather than get nothing. He favored the
half-loaf plan as against no bread, just as
the rld-Herald Is now doing. But the
president was denounced for It, while the
democrats are praised. II makes a differ
ence, you see. who furnishes the OK to be
gored.

In filling the vacant principalship
of the High school members of the
Board of Education must expect pres
sure from the friends of the various
candidates, and particularly of the
assistant principals in line for promo
ton. The debate whether a woman
should be properly considered for the
place strikes US as altogether out Of
place. Because no woman has ever
been principal OF our High school is
no conclusive reason why no woman
should ever be chosen. But no woman
should be chosen merely because she
is a woman any more than a man
should be preferred over a woman
merely because he is a man. The
only points which in our judgment
ought to be considered are the APP
plicant's education, teaching expert
ence, executive ability and probability
OF rendering good service for a
reasonable period of time. II a
woman measures up TO these require
ments and promises to I'LL the bill bet
ter than q man. let It be a woman. If
a man has superior qualifications and
claims, the man should be chosen.

other law passed to take its place.
Pittsburg Dispatch: Nevertheless, when
Mr.. Gary represents the United States
Steel. corporation il operating mainly for

The adoption By the senate BY more
than the required twO-thirds vote on
the resolution submitting a constitu-
tional amendment for the direct popu-
lar election OF senators marks an
epoch in the history OF the republic.
It is the elimination of an agitation
and growing popular demand extend
ing over a third Of a century.
Although such an amendment has
repeatedly had the approval Of the
house, the senate has now for the first
time recorded itself In favor Of this
change, and while the amendment is
not yet actually submitted, because
passed by the senate in a different
form from that passed by the house,
It is only a question OF a short time
when both viii have to agree on the
same form. In voting on the resolu-
ton, and particularly on the amend
ment eliminating the clause that
would deprive the federal government
of all possibility of control of sena-
torial elections, the democrats have
exposed themselves to the charge of
insincerity, or they at least admit that
their desire for direct election of sena-
tors is not strong enough to overcome
their devotion to the states rights
tradition, which they would use to
overturn the Fifteenth amendment.
This great step forward toward
election OF senators by direct vote OF
the people is especially gratifying to
The Bee as one Of the pioneers in this
reform. In season and out of season
The Bee has advocated popular cleo
ton Of senators as the only real way
to make the senate fully responsive to
public needs, which no makeshift such
as the Oregon plan could do. 1t goes
without saying that IL once submitted
In satisfactory form the Amendment
would be promptly ratified by three
fourths OF the states and become effec-
tive within as short time as any con-
stitutional amendment previously
adopted.

The death of George W. e. Dorsey
recalls the time when he was a promi-
nent figure and factor in Nebraska
politics. He represented the state In
congress three successive terms in the
later SOS. At the time Mr.. Dorsey
was sent to the house at Washington,
Nebraska had but, three members, SO
that he spoke for constituency COM
prising a third of the whole state.
Congressman Dorsey's oficial career
was in the main successful and cred
table. his misfortunes breaking upon
him later. Had Mr.. Dorsey been
called twenty years ago his death
would have been mourned by thou
sands of friends as great loss to the
state, where now only the old-timers
remember him.

Shutting Off Competition.

Edwin F. Atkins, head OF the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, seems
to make fairly good witness for con-
gress in the probing of the Sugar
trust, for he fatty admits his disap-
prevail at the time Of the late Mr..
Havemeyer's policy of squeezing the
life out of smaller competitors to es-
tablish a monopoly for the Havemeyer
interests. He also frankly declares
that noncompetition and monopoly
was the purpose Of this policy and
that it was, as a mater of fact, the d.
rect result.
did you expect through this means
to avoid some of the competition"
was asked Mr.. Atkins by the chairman
of the committee.
"Well, l suppose that Il had some
effect Of that kind" is his reply.
1t was in 1887 that the American
Sugar Refining company was organ
ICED and Representative Madison of
Kansas Ca member of the house inves-
tigating committee) asked Mr.. Atkins
If, previous to 1887, there was free
competition in raw and refined sugar
in this country.
"Yes," Mr.. Atkins said, ''there was
free competition"
you wished to avoid that competi-
tion?" Mr.. Madison continued, land It
was for that reason that Mr.. Have
meyer gathered together you and
about a dozen other sugar manufac-
turers for making an agreement to
eliminate this competition, was 1t
not?"
WELL" Mr.. Atkins said, "the prin-
cipal object was to reduce the cost of
production"
And In spite Of all the specious
pleadings to the contrary every one Of
these trust moves is toward the same
end of monopolization by shutting OF
competition. Nor yet has a single one
been able to prove that its restraint
of trade was not unreasonable" The 1
government is to be congratulated on
the damaging admissions that have
been forced from the head OF this
great monopoly, which should make
good evidence in later court proceed 4

OMAHA. June 12-To the Editor Of The

TO me- should elect some one whom
breadth OF view is such that II win include
every sect Achieved scholarship is as Inn
portsnt, perhaps. from an administrative
point OF view as from it's indication that
the holder has won rank for himself. The
head OF schools In q city the size of Omaha
can best cooperate with a teaching staff
many OF whom have degrees OF their own,
II he has accomplished in his own behalf
something that at least equals those who
VIII be his associates. I believe the prln-
cipalship Of the high school should go 10
some one who will take pleasure in the
advancement OF the lowliest pupil. Few

Nebraska provides that every teacher
elected to high school work shall be

OMAHA. June la-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Your editorial In last evenings issue
OF The Bee regarding the recent shooting
OF one OF our citizens by a member OF the
police force Is timely and sensible. We
have police force that IL. perhaps as
good as the average, but there are fire.
ouently men who show lack Of control and
brutal qualities which should be reason for
their Immediate removal from the police
force.
The officer who has just shot a man
down while trying to arrest a drunken
man should not be given such privileges
as have been accorded him
A few weeks ago the writer saw a police
man club a drunken and quarrelsome
youth in very unnecessary manner The
boy was ugly, but much smaller than the
officer and could have been easily handled
without such brutality on the part Of the
officer. CHARLES s. SCRANTON.

No Prize Fighting in Wyoming

If pugilists and professional prize
ring promoters carry out their deter
mination OF setting up business in
Wyoming, they will have to knock out
Governor Carey first. The governor
is as much determined to prevent prize
fighting as they are to have it, Last
winter he vetoed a bill passed by the
legislature legaliEing fistic bouts. and
hts action was a solar plexus blow to
the fraternity, which had counted on
breaking down all legal barriers and
getting into Wyoming. as they have
done in Nevada. Evidently while the
pugilists took the count" in this
match with the governor, they did not
leave off trying for a return engage
ment OF late they have been holding
''boxing matches" in different counties
in disregard OF the law Now the gov
ernor comes back with another stiff
pppercut in the form of an order to
law officers 10 make wholesale ARRESTS
and prosecutions, II necessary. to stop
prize fighting.
Governor Carey will win in the end,
and by 50 doing will perform a val
liable service not only for Wyoming,
but for the country at large, which
needs all the help Of this kind Il can
get in completely wiping out prize

The Treasury department has it's own
distinctive type Of flag that waves over
the custom house Of every port in the
land, and hundreds Of yards OF red, white
ana blue bunting are required each year
TO make the flags for the vessels OF the
treasury's sea police force-the revenue

partment has use for thousands OF flags
on the postoffices Of all the more import

the government would have very little usA

bureau, which is a branch Of the Espart-

very time that the whipping winds are

escape damage, causes them to wear out
