sibIe for Its Defeat.
Washington, March 1.-The senate
paused in its filibuster over the Lori
mer controversy long enough to de-
feat the resolution for the direct cleo
ton of United States senators, as
amended by the Sutherland proviso,
giving the federal government super
visory control over such elections. The
resolution received 81 affirmative votes
and 80 were cast against it.
Senator Bacon of Georgia en-
deavored to offer an amendment to
the resolution, so as to provide that
the federal supervision of elections
should apply only in those states the
legislatures of which had failed to
designate the manner and method of
holding the elections.
The amendment was held not in or
der and the roll call was proceeded
with. 1t was a %foregone conclusion
that the resolution would not have
the two-thirds majority necessary to
its passage.
When the resolution was declared
lost there was no demonstration of
any sort. From the Democratic side
on the floor there were several modu-
lated calls of Good, good!". The
Sutherland amendment for federal
control OF the elections of senators
had made the measure unpopular with
some of the Southern senator's.
Senator Borah, who has been in
charge of The resolution for the cleo
tion of senators by direct vote, was
gratified over the result.
THE resolution will be again intro
duced at he winter session of con-
gress, regular or extraordinary, and
urged unremittingly," he said. THE

The Hole in the Doughnut.

Democratic organs and orators
continue their most persuasive eff
forts to induce so-called insurgent
republicans to vote the democratic
ticket in the impending election. Mr..
Bryan has been telling them that
they are democrats at heart" and
for this reason should help out the
democratic fortunes. He tells them
that they have rs per cent OF the re-
publican vote in Nebraska, giving
them a three TO one majority in any
party contest, but nevertheless
should vote TO defeat their own party
candidates, nominated with decisive
majorities in direct primary, in order
to grid the democrats for victory in
1912.
Senator Hltchcock's organ now
comes back with another argument,
which It thinks a clincher. namely,
that II Nebraska goes republican this
year the result will be hailed as a
Taft victory, and used as the founda-
ton Of a campaign for a Taft
delegation to the republican ma
tlonal convention. The intimation
is that republicans in any way dissat-
isfled with Mr.. Taft should vote the
democratic ticket to prevent this ter
rible calamity. But II Nebraska
goes democratic this year with the
aid OF republican votes, Mr.. Bryan,
and Mr.. Hltchcock's organ, and all
the little democratic organettes, will
Immediately acclaim the result as a
democratic triumph and invite every
one to come into the democratic
bandwagon for 1912.

lican opposition. Nebraska re

Democrats in Masquerade

The populistic fungus growth upon
the democratic organization is a doubt
ful asset Generally when democrats so
desired to do. they have been able to
hang out the populist banner. and per-
haps some have calculated that this priv
ilege brought them votes which they
would not otherwise be able to get. 1t
is doubtful IL 1t did add appreclably to
their strength. But whether IL did or
not, there have been times when this
popullstlc tail to the democratic body re-
fused to be wagged, as in the last guber-
material election. At such times the OBJ
stlnacy OF a few popuists in authority
Is made to look very much like demo-
cratic schism and to indicate severe dem
ocratic discord.
Recognition OF a popular organization
in Nebraska politics can no longer be
defended as anything better than trick
cry and while 1t is impossible TO look
upon his decision In any other light than
that of a purely partisan decision, per-
haps the secretary of state is entitled to
thanks for discouraging any further sham
and pretense about the so-called popullst
party.
There are undoubtedly a great many
good and honest and earnest men in this
state who still adhere to the principles
which tho old peoples independent party
taught so we'll that they have since been
taken up by the two old parties. They
may like to still consider themselves pop
ulists In principle. But there is no longer
populist party.

Women Jurors Next.

The panel OF 1875 venlremen for
Jurors in the Mcnamara trial at Los
Angeles having been exhausted be
fore twelve men are found to try the
case. the question arises, why not
draw women on the next list? That
can be legally done in California,
now that the state has engrafted
woman suffrage onto its constitution.
II jury service goes hand in hand
with voting, Il is not at all unlikely
that one or more OF the fair sex may
sit upon the fate OF the McNamaras.
II California meant what It said when
it declared that II desired women to
participate actively in all public af-
fairs--and, of course, It did mean II
then it can put It's preachment into
practice by letting women help deter
mine the guilt or innocence of men
charged with crime.
So far as the defense is concerned,
Attorney Darrow says It has no OBJ
lection TO women serving on the jury.
II would be interesting to test
woman's temperament under stress
of case OF as much Importance as
this. The proposition is not without
it's more humorous side. How will
father and the children like to have
mother away from home doing jury
service for an indefinite period?

Taking Chances on Criminals.

The governor OF Oregon Is receiv-
ing much praise for his merit system
Of treating hardened and other peni-
tentiary convicts and the warden OF
Nevada's state prison seems to have
adopted similarly lenient methods.
Both permit convicts to 60 70 work
in open fields unguarded and free
handed. The Nevada warden has
even extended the courtesy TO life
prisoners, while the governor Of Ore
gon says no has accompanied prison
ers equipped with large corn knives
for work, while he was totally un-
armed and unharned. The Nevada
official has apparently gone him ore
better by giving long-term convict
money for his railroad fare to an
other town to do an errand. At the
federal prison in Atlanta and else
where the bars are said to be sim
ilarly let down.
To us, this seems like taking UNI
necessary chances without assuring
results. Humane and sanitary treat
ment of prisoners does not call for
quite that sort of thing. Prison re-
form does not have to transcend the
bounds OF safety. Thoughtful peo-
pie, as we'll as sympathetic, believe
in treating the criminal with humane
consideration, and they take just as
much interest in every reasonable
effort to make his lot better as does
the emotional man or woman. There
is always danger, however, in ex-
tremes, even In so righteous reform
as the care OF prisoners, and this in
novatlon strikes us perilously near
that limit.
Justice as we'll as mercy, judgment
as we'll as impulse, has to be observed
in penology. Before giving liberty
to the hardened criminal it is well to
remember that he was on probation
longer before entering the prison
than he has been since, and failed.
His interest is not alone to be reck-
oned with. but society's as well.
Brotherly love can be shown and
taught criminals without inviting
disaster.

Just why this annual row about getting
ones name on the official ballot as
populist nominee must come around Is
not easily understood. Just why anyone
should want his name on the ballot as
populist is as hard TO understand.
There is no longer any populist party
worthy Of the name. A few former popu-
list leaders still manage to have them
selves recognized as yertebra OF the skele-
ton Of the defunct. and by means Of rec
ognition assume TO carry in all election
matters something Of Importance beyond
that of individuals.
II was rather 20 be expected that the
secretary OF state would deny a demo-
cratic candidate for congress the right
10 appear upon the ballot as a populist
nominee ALEC II there could be discovered
the least plausible reason for such denial,
and in the Dan stephens case there was
reason advanced that was plausible. 1t
appeared that the men who had arranged
to get the name OF Stephens upon the
ballot as a populist we're more than sus-
pected OF being democrats who possessed
themselves OF the populistic parapher-
MALTA, although working under the demo
cratic password.
There must come an end to this popu-
llstic mummery and masquerading. Al
least, unless occasion shall arise for a
revival Of the once potential organization
and its myriad following. Perhaps this
decision OF the secretary Of state may
prove to be the beginning of the end.
