POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.

Chicago Inter Ocean; We note that the
Nebraska state democratic convention had
nothing to say about Mr.. Bryan.
Sioux City Journal: Representative Nor
ris saved some bruises by shrewdly staying
on the Job down IN Washington.
Kansas City Times: Ex-President Roose-
welt announces positively that he will make
no more speeches this year. Nevertheless,
as he thinks of something from time to time
that ought to be said, 1t is reasonably GER
tain that he will say 1t.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The demo-
cratic majority In the house committee
which was to paralyze the country with
the "Dick-to-Dick" letter, has now made
an effeort to let go Of the tail Of the bear
and run. The announcement lie made that
the letter will not be called for before

New York World: There are three re-
publican insurgent senators who deserve
high credit for standing by insurgent prin-
ciples as expressed in the reciprocity bill.
They are Brown OF Nebraska, Poindexter
of Washington and Works OF California
To these men the lowering OF the tariff wall
was more important than unsucoessfully
playing politics to put Taft in hole

Bailey Sidesteus.

After weeks, no doubt, of patient
work, Senator Bailey of Texas has
completed his analysis of the Stephen
son case and comes to the senate with
his resignation from the committee
having to do with the investigation of
the Wisconsin senator's election. Peo-
pie who remember the essential facts
in the so-called Waters Pierce case in
Texas will not be surprised at the
Texas senator's action. Somehow he
allowed himself to be trapped into
going on the Lorimer investigation
committee, but 1t nearly cost him his
place in the senate.
Bailey is by nature and tendency
opposed to going behind the returns,
especially those relating TO the hows
and wherefores OF a fellow senator's
election. He is a stickler for the old
code OF ethics that observes rigidly
every tenet of senatorial courtesy and.
II a senator says he was honestly
elected, then that settles It and no
gentleman would think of investigat-
ing to find out whether he told the
truth or not. Bailey's mind is keen
and incisive. 1t can penetrate the
most obvious question and find some
where hidden technically. He could
split a cambria needle into a dozen at
tenuated spears and still have enough
left to thread No. 40-black.
In the course of that florid bit of
sophistry by which he explained his
vote in the Lorimer case last winter.
Senator Bailey said:
They tell me that the senate Is on
trial before the American people and that
we can only acquit ourselves by convict
Ing Lortmer. How low we have fallen An

such an appeal can control us in a case

Registration Frauds.

The Water board through Senator
Hitchcock's democratic organ claim to
have unearthed evidence of fraud in
the special registration for the water
bond election. Although there are
palpable discrepancies in the tales
told, The Bee does not hesitate to say
that the perpetrators Of registration
and election frauds should be exposed
and prosecuted. The Bee last year
uncovered nest of illegal votes col
onized by the democrats in pool halls
and lodging houses. but because Sena-
tor Hitchcock was one of the benefit
Charles, his newspaper came to the de-
Tense OF the colonizers-not only then,
but later when the legislature sent a
committee to investigate.
In view of this recent history, the
source of the present charge of regis
tration frauds, and the known tricki-
ness of the Water boards chief politi-
clan. who has regularly perpetrated
some notorious fake before every
water bond election in which he feared
defeat, warrants suspicion of a frame
up for a purpose.
The Bee repeats, however. that
every one perpetrating election frauds
should be convicted and have the PEN
atty of the law.

What They Endorse.

In an article. which has been To-
cally reprinted, the Sioux City Tribune
wants to know what the Nebraska re-
publican platform endorses when it
expresses confidence in President Taft,
and heartily endorses his statesman
like administration. 1t sets forth
anew all the various controverted acts
Of and charges against the president
since he was inaugurated, and asks
If each and every one of these is en-
dorsed.
No one need experience any trouble
to understand what is meant by the
platform declaration, 1--WE heartily en-
dorse his statesmanlike administra-
ton" The platform, itself, sets forth
specifically the most notable achieve
ments upon whose endorsement all
republicans agree, and presumably
also many of other political persua-
sions. Certain parts of the record of
the Taft administration, on which re-
publicans disagree, are not specially
enumerated, but the administration
as a whole is heartily endorsed. This
means that every delegate in the con-
vention who voted to adopt the plat
form land there we're none who voted
in the negative), is satisfied that Mr.
Taft is an honest, unselfish and patri-
otto president, and that his admins
tration has accomplished so much
good, regardless Of mistakes, that 1t
commands approval as a whole. We
have never had, and We will never
have, a president who will not make
mistakes, and who will not be held re-
sponsible for some things that en-
counter popular disapproval. But
when history is written a judgment
balance is struck, and the Nebraska
platform invites attention to the fact
that for the Taft administration there
is big balance on the right side of
the ledger.

Out-Miking the Mixers.

II Colonel Mabray, now residing in
Leavenworth, Kan, at the govern
ment's expense, has read the accounts
of how two Iowa farmers we're induced
to mortgage their farms and raise
$4,000 to bet on the races, he must
ashamed at the coarse methods he and
his confederates employed in the bust
ness of mixing"
These two husbandmen form the
acquaintance of a nice, genial man,
who takes small sums for them and
bets on the races, sending them back
liberal winnings. Then, when acquaint-
ance has ripened into trusting friend
ship, the nice man writes them from
Chicago a tip on how they can make
fortune on "the horse that is sure
to win," If they will rake together
$4,000 and hasten it to him. They
mortgage their farms and get the
money to him without delay. They
win, all right. and go to Kansas City
to meet their broker"
The story ends there, or at least
the first chapter does. Some folks
evidently thought that putting the
king mixer in the penitentiary put
mixing out Of business. Nonsense,
Here is lone, lone" man who takes
up the work where Colonel Mabray
& Co. left off and improves on the old
system so vastly as to afford no COM
parison between the two. Mabray
got scores of men in with him, which
made his discovery and capture in
evitable. Here is an artist who works
it single-handed and leaves no clue
behind him.
But how long are intelligent victims
going to offer themselves up to such
palpable, simple frauds?

Politics in the Wool Bill.

II is to be regretted that IL we are
to have some form of wool tariff revi-
sion at this session Of congress, II can
not be ''all VOL and a yard wide. {"
Entirely too much petty politics has
been woven into the measures now
pending to commend them and the
purposes back Of them to best con-
sideration Of the country at-large.
What the collition of democrats and
insurgent senators manifestly prefer
is, not to pass a satisfactory wool gill,
but to embarrass the president In
deed, democrats openly profess to be-
lieve that, while the president cannot
consistently sign the bill that goes to
him, he will weaken himself with the
people by refusing to sign or vetoing
it. and that consequently. this will add
strength to the democrats.
The president alone is committed
to principle in this situation. He is
committed to deferring further legis-
lation until the tariff board can re-
port, which will not be until next De-
cember, to the first regular session
of the Sixty-second congress. There
fore, he urged congress at the outset
of the present extra session to enact
no general tariff revision on this ac-
count. The people understand that.
They favored the creation and the
work of the tariff board. Why, then,
imagine that they will saction any
such cheap effort at neutralizing, in
fact, anticipating the boards action,
by rushing in measures calculated
merely make political capital for the
presidential campaign.
President Taft has, 1t is true, de-
nounced the present wool schedule of
the tariff as 'fndefensizle. That
ought to define his position clearly
enough. And the country and congress
can trust him to aid in correcting its
excuses. But he also contends that
this can be done more intelligently
and more Complementary when he
and congress shall have all the in
formation the tariff board is gathering
than to proceed without it now
