Third Party Talk.

Talk OF forming a third party to
be made up Of the so-ealled progress
siYes, both republicans and demo-
Gratis, is being revived in various
parts Of the country. The talk is
said to emanate from those camps
bitterly hostile to President Taft who
see that his denomination is praeti-
cally assured, and are figuring on the
next move after that, The suggestion
is that third party TO put a separate
ticket in the field. headed by La Fol-
lette, is to be kept in view as last
resort.
Frankly, we do not believe there
is anything substantial in these re-
ports. The talk OF a third party was
much more pronounced two years
ago when, as we happen to know.
oyertures were rIade TO Colonel
Roosevelt to jois. In with such a
movement making his new nation
alism" its foundation, only to meet
a firm refusal from him. and no suf-
ficient encouragement from the pro-
gressiye or Bryan wing OF the demo-
Gratis. II the men whose leadership
was regarded as essential TO a third
party movement saw no good reason
for taking II up two years ago, but
preferred to work out their salvation
within their own respective party
lines, there Is certainly less reason
for II now. We do not believe the In
surgents in either party want to get
into the position where their party
loyalty is under suspicion. or where
they may have to affirm publicly that
they will not bolt the nomination Il
their preferred choice is unsuccessful
This applies especially where the
rank and file OF the party is to max,
the decision themselves by direct pri
mary and would be entitled TO know
in advance II the insurgents were b,
mental reservation holding a thlrC
party program in reserve. II the in
surgents should win out. they woult
expect the regulars to line up for tn,
ticket and IL will be we'll for then
to make II plain that they, too
recognize the binding force OF major
tiles that decide the other way.

China with It's Face to the West

Events have moved so rapidly and
kaleidoscoplcally during the Chinese
revolution that II has not been en-
tirely safe TO venture upon any de-
cislve discussion of the situation, but
now that the imperial governments
edict abdicating and totally accepting
the terms Of the republicans has been
published. the situation might. be
accepted at its face value. Yet, OF
course, there is ample opportunity
for discord In the perfectlng OF de-
tails in the transition. But the Man
chu dynasty has, by the empress
dowager's proclamation. terminated
It's reign OF three centuries and
yielded TO the inevitable.
The majority OF the people are In favor
Of republic. From the preference OF
the peoples hearts the win Of heaven Ia
diseernible, How could we oppose the
desires OF millions for the glory OF one
familyY
Such an utterance from the lips OF
Chinese ruler ought to satisfy
doubt; II surely means that occlden-
tai civilization has wrought its influ-
ence upon oriental Imperialism. In
this Is there all the inspiration Amer
cans need at this time. Republican
ism rears It's majestic head amid
most auspices conditions In China. 1t
viii be a long time before these
400. 100000 embryonic republicans
rise to real understanding OF con-
stitutional government with its
blessing OF liberty to them. but some
day they will. and when they do what
mighty things will be done in the
name Of the new civilization II is
triumph enough for Us that this in
terminable tide of humanity is faced
westward at last. II has taken 400
years TO turn its back upon the east

And only yesterday men were say

Why the Difference :

Intercepted with respect to a re-
port that his name was being con-
sidered by the insurgent organization
as a possible candidate for vice presi-
dent. Governor Aldrich is quoted as
saying:
II us premature 70 think OF such p
thing. This position seeks the man, and
IL is impractical for the man to seek the
office OF vice president
The notion voiced by the governor
may have been true heretofore, and
may yet be true where old-time con-
ditions prevail. but how can 1t be
true In presidential preference states
like Nebraska where the law provides
a direct choice by the rank and file
Of each party at the primary for both
president and vice president? Our
Nebraska presidential preference
primary law, and the laws in all the
other states that have enacted such
legislation, put the vice presidency
on precisely the same basis as the
presidency. The avowed intention is

The Theater Censor,

London's august play censor, Earl
Spencer, also lord chamberlain, has
resigned his position in sheer despair
Of ever being able to fill 1t with any
degree OF satisfaction to all the inter-
ests concerned. Evidently stage CEN
sorship is about as difficult role to
play in England as America, where 1t
has never yet been successfully
played. Every now and then some
jealous and well meaning persons
suddenly awake to the enormity of
the stages baleful influence
thing not altogether imaginary
and to the necessity OF appointing a
censor OF plays as the surest remedy
for the evil. But somehow or other
these good impulses invariably come
to naught, though that is not to say
the task is impossible, only very.
very difficult.
1t involves many exactlng demands
Through the entire fabric of stage
craft runs the subtle thread OF com
mercialism. That is going to be safe,
guarded. Then there are divers and
often conflicting interests to be sub
served. The ethical pnblic sentiment
demands chastity and intellectually
insists upon lofty appeal. ovel
against them are their opposltes. The
theatrical manager is not in the bust
ness for his health. Box office re
ceipts respond to the acceptabIlity o.
the play. The players are the mos
capricious of folk. The press agen
has his whims.
II the censor, by some dint o
miraculous achievement, finds It eve
possible to reconcile this tumult O
conflicting interests, he still is In n,
position to receive the appreciation
for duty well done. All, there is tina
implacable autocrat, the critic. NJ
