THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The attempt Of Colonel Roosevelt ;
followers in Nebraska 10 take over the
Republican organization in that state
was met on Tuesday as ii ought to
he met In every other instance In
which that sort Of larceny is tried.
The Republican state Convention hav-
ing been organized by q prO-RooSe-
welt majority, and its chairman. Gov
ernor Aldrich. having ruled out of
order q resolution declaring fealty to
the national ticket to be the vital test
Of Repubicanism, the Taft delegates
Immediately left the gathering and
held a convention of their own. They
have elected q new state committee
and will soon put complete electoral
and state tickets In the field. In other
words, they will purge the Republican
party IN Nebraska of dissenters and
traitors and bring the organization
there into complete harmony with the
national body of which II IS subor-
dinate agency.
The Nebraska Republicans took the
only logical and honest course In re-
pudiatinG & state committee and Il
state convention which were unwilling
to recognize the paramount authority
Of the national Republican organiza-
ton. In clinging TO the title and good
will Of the old party for local advan.
tage Colonel Roosevelt's followers in
Nebraska are trying 10 advance his
fortunes through dupliCity and misrep-
resentation. The colonel himself has
almost abandoned his original claim
that he IS q Republican rump nominee,
and is now insisting that his followers
in most Of the states shall cut loose
from all past political affiliations. He
wants q free hand TO seek recruits for
HIS new organization among the Demo
Gratis. the Socialists and the Popullsts
rs well as among Republicans. He
has dccreed the death and dissolution
Of the old Republican party. Under
such circumstances it is manifestly
indecent and dishonest for HIS support
prs in Nebraska. South Dakota, Kan
sas or California to pose AZ regular
Republicans. They cannot he for him
and remain regular, since the all-im-
portant test Of regularity in any party
is loyalty To the decisions Of that par
tvs national councils.
The genuine Republicans should in
siSt In every state on having an or
ganizatiOn and electoral ticket Of their
own. pledged 10 Taft and Sherman
The temporary inconvenience OF sep
arate action should not be considered.
since only by keeping free from entan-
clements with seceders and wreckers
can the integrity Of the national organ
ization be preserved.

that Bill Snyder, the head keeper OF

buy them.
In any case the thing for Bill" Snyder
TO do Is 70 let that blue crane alone. IL
would be bad enough to shoot the bird
II would be worse TO catch Il and keep IL
In captivity. This particular crane is
evidently happy in Central Park or II
wouldn't return summer after summer.
Why shouldn't the beautiful wild thing
have It's happiness7 Why must every
harmless creature of the sort that comes
into view DO stuck behind barsT EVERY
lover Of nature must want that blue crane
TO have its freedom. To catch glimpse

THE MAYORS LATEST.


Mayor Gaynor accedes TO the de
mand for an Aldermanic inquiry into

grumblingly. Even the case against
Becker and the revelations of the gam
bling graft collectors have not aroused
him to a sense of the crisis In the city $
affairs To his mind, it is all mag
ging" and 'partiSanship. But the only
party lines IN this city to-day are those
drawn between n criminal coalition
and an indignant public bent upon It's
destruction. No one Is 'nagging' the
Mayor or seeking to "embarrass" him,
hut there IS q great deal Of anger felt
that his voice. which used to ring out
against municipal corruption. denounc-
ing those who got rich by thievery and
went to live in Europe, is only raised
70 protcs: against the righteous indig-
nation OF the present hour, and that
everything which he has done, except
under virtual compulsion, has been OF
sort to interfere with an effective
fight against the system"
The city has the greatest opportunity
since the Lexow d0ys-perhaps It may
prove even a greater opportunity than
that furnished by the IeXow investiga-
tion--to strike down police corruption.
The System has been holder than
ever before in its history. 1t has its
gangs Of hired assassins, something it
did not have I'm the early COS, and
they are tolerated by the police appar-
emily because they are useful to those
who pay for protection and TO the pOlit-
ical forces which stand behind them.
Money secures protection from the pO-
lice. A nod 70 the gangmen secures
protection from the public prosecutor,
At least, that was the theory on which
Rosenthal was killed. The police will
not act against those who have bought
immunity. If the District Attorney

better to do than to say hypocritically,

But, Glory be! each man Of crime

Are finding crooks within tho fold
And promise each before he's old

When comes the word that nothing more

Wen find our faith. as oft before,

Then man will come into his own:
And meet conditions never known.
