For the American people are not with
him in that issue and are not willing
to throw their hats into the ring to
battle with him for it,
II is likewise well enough for Sena.
tor Beveridge to pass lightly over Col
Roosevelt's attitude on tariff revision
He attempts to excuse the colonel's
inactivity along this line, during his
seven years in the white house, on the
ground that il was not a republican
platform pledge and the demand for
it was not pressing. AS a matter
of fact the demand was pressing long
before Col Roosevelt left the white
houses pressing was the demand
that a year before he retired, Secre.
tary of War, Taft, made vigorous
speech at Bath, Me, voicing the need
of downward revision And for some
years there has been public demand
for such action. And Col Roosevelt
has endorsed the tariff commission
which Taft is just now getting under
way.
The trust issue-the only other real
issue at present, besides the tariffs
still as much an unsolved problem
as it was ten years ago. And while
Col. Roosevelt is an ingenious and
resourceful man, he could hardly eX-
Dect to be elected now to solve the
trust question when he failed to solve
it during his seven years in the white
house. President Taft has been en-
forcing the Sherman law vigorously
and that's all that any president
could do until some man comes along
with a better solution than has yet
been offered by any person-citizen
or candidate.

NEBRASKA'S TRAGEDY

One of the most dramatic tragedies
in Nebraskas history was closed Mon.
day afternoon when the three convicts
who had exploded and murdered their
way to liberty from the state peni.
Tertiary, were run down by officers.
And one of the saddest features of
the whole incident, which cost the
lives of six men, was the killing of
Farmer Roy Blunt by a stray bullet
from the officers posse.
Blunt was caught in a death trap
by an unkind fate. 1t CHANGED to be
him whom the conyicts compelled to
hitch up sleigh and drive them over
the roads. And when the posse came,
there was no chance of escape. He
faced death either at the hands of
the desperadoes or at the hands of
the officers.
The state of Nebraska is respon-
sible for Blunt's death and to his
family should make reparation, so far
as it is possible to make reparation
with money.
The prison outbreak is said to have
been the result of feeling of unrest
that has been growing at the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is very apparent to the
people of this state that something
was radically wrong when guns and
nitro-glycerine could be struggled to
prisoners AS the man responsible
for state institutions, Gov. Aldrich
must, in the last analysis, answer
for the tragedy, and an accurate ex-
PLANTATION Of all circumstances will be
eagerly awaited throughout the state.

SENATOR NORRIS BROWN

Norris Brown has served Nebraska
efficiently, conscientiously and zeal
ously in the United States Senate,
and he should be reelected. The ex-
perience he has gained during the
first term makes him that much more
valuable for second term.
Senator Brown has been a credit
to his state and he has become lead
er in the upper house of congress.
He was one Of the principal support
ers of the peace treaties and has in
other ways won distinction by his
fearless work.
Norris Brown is a good man for
Nebraska to retain in the public SER

President Taft. in his speech at
Boston Monday afternoon, pointed out
the tremendous injury to good govern
ment that results when influential
men wantonly and Unfortunately
use Incorporate language in assailng
our courts of Justice. And the assas.
sination of court officials in Virginia,
together with the sending of a bomb
to a New York judge, would indicate
that the president is right. Promi-
nent men can do a great deal of harm
to society by Incorporate language of
any kind. Calmness and dignity, after
all, are traits worthy of cultivation.

KILLING OF ARBITRATION.

1t is generally understood that the
killed in the United States senate by
the republican opposition combined
with the democratic antagonists and
that this combination obtained its in
spiration and guidance direct from
Oyster Bay.
1t certainly is humiliation and dis
couragement not alone to the patriot
that loves America and desires it to
take it's place as the leader in the
worlds peace but to the lover of
mankind, wherever he may abide, to
realize that there is a man of ire
menodus personality and great in
fluence, who is willing to go on rec
ord as the opponent of the better day
which is coming when arbitration
shall be the rule and war the excep-
ton among the nations of the earth.
1t is incomprehensible to the
thoughtful, self-poised man accustom-
ed to do his own thinking, that such
a man should so dominate the MIND
of a large portion of the people of
America as to be able to sacrifice the
peace of the world to his personal
ambition.
Sooner or later the sober second
thought of this great nation will re-
assert itself and speak out in unmis-
taxable ringing tones of rebuke
against the war spirit needlessly
aroused and the man who provokes
such a mental attitude among the
unthinking.
We believe that time is near at
hand. But be that as it may the
philosopher patriot and we'll wisher Of
mankind can look forward with Sc
rene and certain confidence to the
verdict of history, assured that it will
crown with laurel the great president
who did everything in his power to
further the love of peace throughout
the world and that it will wholly dis
approve the narrow horizon of the
man whose strenuosity is consumed
in arousing unrest and stimulating
the animositiess which result in en-
kindling the fury of the nations and
the brutal sad taking off of thou.

The brutal killing of one of the
ablest and best judges in the COM
monwealth of Virginia by a mob of
mountaineers who were mad because
he sentenced one of their number to
year of hard labor for aiding a pris-
oner to escape, and the subsequent
death of the county attorney and
sheriff at the hands of the same mob
calls the attention Of the entire coun-
try to the horrors Of outlawry. While
this is an exceptional case it is but
timely to protest against the alto
gether too prevalent attitude OF re-
volt against the judiciary, whenever
1t gives decision that is against the

LINCOLN'S OPINION.

Abraham Lincoln, in a speech at

Is it unreasonable, then, to expect
that some men, possessed of the loft.
rest genius, coupled with ambition
sufficient to push it to the utmost
stretch, will at some time spring I'D
among US? And when such a one
does, it will require the people to be
united with each other, attached to
the government and laws, and gener-
ally intelligent, to successfully frus-
trate his design.
DISTINCTION will be his paramount
object, and although he would as will
ingly acquire it by doing good as
harm, yet nothing left in the way of
building up, he would sit down bold
ly to the task of pulling down. Here
then is probable case, highly dan
