Unappreciative.

In a letter transmitting his version
OF the democratic squabble with re-
quest for space for its publication,
Mr.. Bryan repeats a complaint which
he should be the last to utter. He
says:
Many Of our daily papers are 80 under
the influence OF fayor-seeklng corpora
tons that they are not only against the
people editorially, but their news columns
are colored in favor Of the predatory In
terests to which they are subservient.
or course, the motive back OF this
gauzy charge is quite transparent,
being a notion that by pretending
that other avenues of publicity are
closed, the inherent spirit OF fairness
OF every newspaper man will open It's
doors TO him.
As a matter OF fact. however. no
one knows better than Mr.. Bryan
that there Is nothing whatever to this
pretense. as column upon column OF
free vent to his views by newspapers
on which he has no claim whatever
conclusively proves. The newspapers
have made Mr.. Bryan politically and
financially. and all he is doing now
is to cash In on the free advertising
he has had In both news and edi-
torial columns. He has himself more
than once publicly testified TO the
fairness and llberality OF the news
papers, and the daily newspapers, In
particular. in enabling him to reach
through their columns millions where
his voice reaches only hundreds. In
stead OF misrepresenting and abusing
the newspapers. Mr.. Bryan ought to
lose no opportunity to pay them
tribute and give them thanks.

Mrs. John Hollen Of Chicago was so
angered when thieves raided her coops
and stole twenty chickens that she ad-
vertised for the culprits to come back

morning all the chickens were gone.
Mrs. Elizabeth Seaman. better known
as Nellie BLY,, . writer, has been fined
$50 by a federal Judge In refusing to
answer the question of a referee In liqui-
dation proceedings relative to a bankrupt
manufacturing company. Years ago Nellie
could talk like q phonograph.
Charles John Prince q Bestonian, who
has just died. was descendant Of Gov
efnof winthrop OF MassAchQsetts and OF

other of his notable ancestors was Jonas
Parker. the first man to fall In the battle
of Lexington. He was dealer in naval

The outcome. Of course. is certain. Mr..
TAFT will be renomlnated easily and
promptly. and. standing upon the plat
form outlined In his masterful Toledo
speech, viii become a formidable eandi-
date.
This does not mean that the democrats
have been or are likely to be deprived Of
the opportunity which last year seemed
SO fair. 1t simply emphasizes the need Of
hearkening to the dictates OF wisdom and
OF prudence. At the present writing, It
is gratifying to observe they are needing
most advantageously our thoughtful ad-
monition TO let the other fellows do the
squabbling. The various candidates are
as polite to one another as democrats
can be expected TO be, Mr.. Underwood
is guiding the house majority safely be-
tween the rocks, the various governors
as a whole, are attending to their busi-
ness and even Brother Bryan is beginning
to radiate the glow OF a conciliatory
spirit.
Everybody will get mad, Of course, after
a while. They wouldn't be democrats II
they didn't. But things look pretty good
now. So our advice TO the democrats Of
the various states is to send to Baltimore
uninstructed delegations, comprising their
strongest and wisest men. capable of
meeting the situation which will then
confront them with foresight and sa-
gacity.

Our amiable democratic contem-
porary wants TO know what would
happen to the primary law II all the
candidates for convention delegate
announced that they would carry out
presidential preference instructions
only II they accorded with their own
views. The question answers itself.
But what we would like to know is.
what the democrats would be saying
IL some Of the republican candidates
for convention delegate took the
position that the primary vote was
not binding only IL It went their
way?

Good Men for Commissioner-IV.
W. c.. Shriver

W. G. Shriyer.
Among republicans filed for coun-
Gilman under 0maha's new plan OF
city government, the name OF w. G..
Shriver will commend itself to a
large number Of people of all classes.
Mr.. Shriver is an old-time resident
OF Omaha with experience in public
life, as well as private business. He
served in the council some years
ago, and is now just rounding out a
term as county assessor. to which
office he was elected five years ago,
having been held over an extra year
by Legislative enactment changing
the law. Mr.. Shriyer volunteered as
one of the plaintiffs in the famous
tax suit, fought through the courts
by the Real Estate exchange to
raise the grossly underyalued assess
ments OF the franchised corpora
tions, and to put an end to their
evasion OF taxes to the cost OF the
small taxpayers and home-owners. As
county assessor Mr.. Shriver has been
carefully performing his official
duties with a view to giving the tax
payers a square deal as near as may
be under the law, and with a reason
able measure of success. The same
intelligence, ability and industry ap-
piled to the affairs OF the city would
make Mr.. Shrlver a good man for
commissioner.

The funniest OF all is the explana-
tion OF the Roosevelt booster trying
to ride into office on the colonel's
coat-tails. that the spontaneous pop
ular uprising for the third-term can
didate was originated, created and
engineered BY Taft supporters. On
that theory then there never was no
spontaneous uprising nor popular de-
mand.

THE CHURCH AND MARRIAGE.

Baltimore American: A Chicago bishop
has declared that candidates for marriage
in his church must have a clean bill Of
health. A safe and sane cupid. conduct
ing an antlseptic eourtship. will certainly
be a sight for the astonished gods.
Chicago News: No one can even esti-
mate the sum of human misery due to
the marriage Of the unfit. Therefore ths
determination of Dean Sumner and his
eoadjutors at the Episcopal Cathedral
of st. Peter and st. Paul not to perform
the marriage ceremony for persons who
cannot prove their physical and mental
fitness will be regarded by most thought
full persons as in accord with sound prin-
ciples based upon social needs.
Philadelphia Press: Both state and
