NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

York News: York has acquired a new
woman's club, an equal suffrage association
and base ball team within the last ten
days. The city now has nearly all the
necessary adjuncts for modern civilized
living
O'Neil Frontier: The Butte Gazette edl-
tor ventures the opinion that S25 is too
high an estimate Of the value Of a woman's
affections. The Gazette editor being an
esteemed lady her testimony will be ac-

Beaver City Times: The editor OF the
Arapahoe Pioneer made a trip to st. Jo-
seph with a trainload OF hogs. and in re-
porting the momentous event for his valua-
BILE paper, says "the trip did us good" It
would be interesting to learn the effect It
had upon the hogs.
Beaver City Times-Tribune: The World
Herald states that Il is not the policy Of
that paper to place the name OF the re-
sponsibe editor at the head OF its editorial
page. We wouldn't think that anybody
would want to be responsible for the edi-
torials that appear in theWoTld- Herald.

Prematnrn Obituaries.

Never write a mans obituary un-
Oh he is dead" was one OF the sxio-
matte rules Of the founder OF The Bee,
which applies to political parties as
vell. We Offer this suggestion to our
amiable democratic contemporary
which IS givins over valuable editorial
space to a premature obituary Of the
republican party, which it solemnly
assures us IS going to pieces as
swiftly and as surely as did ever a
great political organization"
Political parties. to be sure, rise
and fall. and some Of them suffer total
eclipse. but the vitality OF a political
party with an active career extending
over more than Fifty years must not be
so lightly estimated. The political
party that fought Ina war Of the re-
bellion to a successful conclusion,

our prosperous industries, put the

the brakes on the evils Of trusts and
monopolies, carried independence to
Cuba and freedom to the Philippines
and responded to all important de-
mands for domestic reform is not
going to pieces over night.
AS a matter of fact we have seen
the democratic party apparently more
nearly on the verge of dissolution,
and the problem whether 1t had any
future, more seriously discussed sew
eral times within the past two de-
cades. Democrats have despaired Of
their party so often that despair al
most became a habit, and the ability
Of party so long unused to RESPONSE
bility to accomplish anything now is
yet to be demonstrated.
The prediction, therefore, that the
republican party. under its present
name and in its present form, has won
its last victory, III only the coming
democrtic congress measures up to its
opportunities" is not only conditional,
but gratuitous--a premature obituary,
with no immlnence that the political
undertaken will soon be called

Important HALLWAY neoisions.

The United States supreme courts
rulings on several important measures
affecting the regulation of interstate,
as well as intrastate traffic, should
offer encouragement to the country as
being on the right track in It's effort
to solve these great problems. The
rulings in most cases sustain the laws
and terminate discussion and dispute
OF questions that have led to great
inconvenience and litigation.
One Of the most important decisions
upholds the Iowa law, which provides
that no contract of relief, benefit or
insurance" should be bar to the
right of railroad employe engaged
in the operation of the road TO sue the
Eemployer for damages resulting from
injuries sustained in the course of his
employment. The principle involved is
one of wide application and its de-
termination by the court Of last resort
should be matter of extensive in
terest. Not only railroads, but street
Nuu ONMpA 0UGf~
ating under state and national fran
chises have for years disputed the right
OF recovery under such conditions and
endless litigation has thereby ensued.
Another important ruling is on the
matter Of a railroads right to pay
for advertising in transportation. The
court holds that this is not permitted
under the Hepburn law. If railroad
could buy advertising with transporta-
ton or other consideration than cash
then IL might accept any commodity
in exchange for the transportation
opening up anew the Old and per-
nicious system OF rebates. The logic
Of the ruling win strike most
lay minds as entirely sound and the
court is 70 be commended for defining
it's Interpretation of the law so clearly
as to bring out the danger involved
of reviving the rebate system, which
was so pernicious in its operation and
so difheult to combat.

Canada's Promotion.

In the appointment of the duke of
Connaught as governor general OF
Canada, succeeding Earl Grey, the
dominion advances from a colony TO
a national class OF nearly equal status

first British province TO have a royal
prince as its head, it steps into the
front line of component parts OF the
empire.
The duke is a son OF the late Queen
Victoria and the father OF Princess

China Buvr Light with Life.

After all. the plague now devas-
tating parts OF China seems to bring
! its recompense. Fear Of its terrofb
has overridden the ancient supersti-
ton against burning the bodies Of the
dead and led the Chinese to take this
sensible precaution against greater
spread Of the malady. Torches are
being applied to piles Of corpses.
Undoubtedly this is sanitary and
the best possible way Of disposing OF
the bodies. Il is like "wading through
slaughter to a throne to shut the gates
Of mercy on mankind" but even
plaques that kill millions of human
beings may have a civilizing influence
II is too bad China did not learn the
lesson before. when former malsdies
we're ravishing its land, but it lie a
great thing she has even now
awakened.
Eyes blinded by, centuries of ignor-
ance and superstition must be very
blind eyes. They cannot be expected
to open under the spell OF any ordi-
nary influence. But gradually China
has been dropping her scales for many
years. and when the nation, with its
400, 900, 600 people. is fully awake
civilization win experience such up
heaval Of energy as to feel that all It
expended in the effort Of arousing
China has been returned at compound
interest. These ancients are buying
their freedom from the thralldom OF
superstition at the cost of their lives.

Washington No Prig.

Is II not about time that schools
were beginning to teach what the best
historians agree to be the truth about
George Washington? It is highly de-
sirable that children be impressed
with the distinguishing virtue of
honesty in the life Of this ideal Ameri-
can, but it is not at all desirable that
they be taught to believe him a prig.
And that is the ultimate effect of the
Mason Weems cherry tree story on
many young minds, an effect not al
ways effaced by years of maturity.
Washington was unquestionably q
truthful boy and man. but he was not
faultless, either in childhood or man
hood. He was large. full-blooded, high
strung, as we say and we know that
boys and men of that type today are
liable TO err. Sometimes they even
say and do things they should not.
Henry Cabot Lodge, an accepted
ehronieler OF Washington's life, thinks
Washington was not 90 far above the
rest Of humanity and finds him quite
apt with strong language when prop
eFly provoked
Mason Weems was an itinerant
parson OF some literary merit, but not
profound. He seems to have conjured
up the cherry tree myth and linked Il
with other illusions about Washing
tons perfection. He wrote book,
which had a ready sale in this coun-
try and England, and his fairy tale
gained such a foothold that even q
century and more has not uprooted Il,
The character OF Washington,
though, has much more to teach the
young people. We believe. by Kidding
it OF all priggishness and resting ID
upon more natural theories. II By
nature the boy and man were as good
as Weems pictured him, then he de-
served little OF no credit for t. But
Il he were. like the rest OF humanity,
subject to err, as. OF course, he was,
then he deserves 20 stand upon the
pedestal to which his words and works
have lifted him.
In commemorative his anniversary,
it seems. the schools over the land
should give more thought to Wash
ington's real life and less 70 the myth

A Court Under Probe.

One of the most remarkable Official
investigations on record is now in
progress in California, where the leg
islature is probing the state supreme
court The issue is the Ruef case, a
rehearing of which the supreme court
granted after the former San Fran
cisco boss had been sentenced to the
penitentiary for fourteen years.
The court itself, asked for the in
vestigation as result Of the popular
dissatisfaction expressed with it's rul-
ing. 1t was bitterly attacked from one
end Of the state to the other, where
people felt that, since Ruef had con-
fessed in the trial courts OF San Fran
cisco to bribing supervisors his guilt
was too plain to be palliated by tech
nicalities and that he should be sent
to the state prison without further
ado. His rehearing was granted en-
tirely upon technical points.
Four members of the house and
three of the senate will conduct this
Investigation. 1t is to be hoped that
nothing will prevent full and fair
probing and that IL any Interior mo-
tives are concealed they will be
brought to the surface. California
seems to be having it's own troubles
in purging itself of its iniquities. Out
side states have right to wish It we'll.
1t seems passing strange the court did
not rise upon its dignity and take
refuge behind the ancient right of ex-
emption from criticism, as some courts
OF late have done.
