Reunion of Churches,

Methodists In general conference
at Minneapolis advocate reuniting
OF the north and south branches OF
the church. Presbyterians expect to
do even more than advocate the re-
union Of their sectional bodies when
they 90 into general assembly at
Louisville May Is.
These churches split on issues that
have been dead and buried for fifty
years. Soon after the civil war COM
mercial interests In the north and
south, perceiving the tremendous
waste Of energies and resources In q
divided country. began TO FIJI in the
ehasm and get together. To-day. 90
far as business goes. there 10 no
Mason and Dixon line. and even
politics has begun TO follow the trend
OF business.
But the church. which should have
been the leader in this movement OF
reconciliation. Is left 10 tag along
behind the world. What this IRA
tional, unreasoning persistence in
discord has cost the cause OF religion
and the material welfare Of the coun-
try 10 not possible to estimate. II Is
hard enough to reconcile the non
church world to reasonable differ
enees in crecds and faiths; II is Inn
possible to make II see the sense and
Goodness In divisions Of the same
creeds purely upon lines OF old ami
moEitlss and prejudicss.
Last Of all is the enormous eco
nomie loss the church sustains by
these sectional organizations. And,
after all. even free grace has its eco
monte aspects. for churches with
elastic material resources are often
able to accomplish their purpose
with greater facility than those ham
pered by depleted treasures.

psn.Amsrican Policy Suffer-.


The Pan-American policy advanced
by the president and secretary OF
state sustains a setback In tho SEN
ate's defeat Of the Nicaraguan and
Honduran loan conventions. BY these
treaties the administration had
wisely. planned to promote the all
American system Of commercial and
diplomatic intercourse. aiding the
Central American countries and fost-
ering our own interests and setting an
example Of our friendship before all
South and Central American repub-
lics. an example that needs to be set
1t Is disappointing that the senate
majority did not perceive the advan-
tase In such relations.
A year ago President Taft declared
that these very loan treaties would
become more potent peace measures
than the arbitration compacts with
England and France. which the SEN
ate also defeated. The United States
needs stronger footing In these
southern countries. The countries
need our help. Here. It appeared. was
the most effective means Just now Of
the mutual benefit and II is not per-
mitted. The senate's action goes to
complicate our position down there
and deepen the doubt already exist
Ing as to our good intentions.
These loan treaties proposed that
the United States should sanction
loan contracts by which American
bankers might liquidate the European
Indebtedness TO these two nations
and advance them sufficient funds
with which to get on better footing.
Some months ago the Morgan inter-
ests agreed to furnish the money. but
they dropped out because OF the SEN
ate's tardy action and since q New
Orleans syndicate came forward with
the necessary funds. This. II was be-
lieved. would hush the cry Of the
southern democrats that IT was a
Wall street affair. but they seem to
have given no better support to the
schems backed by southern f.nanciers
\
than before. Under the. plan we
should have TO assume charge Of the

duty Is to report the same to the
proper officers. and have the Grim
inals punished. In this. they will
have the support and assistance Of all
good citizens. but II they have not the
proof, they should cease making the
assertion. The people Of Omaha have
made their choice. supported BY de-
cisive figures. and II now becomes
the duty OF all TO lay aside political
differences. and work together for
the upbuilding OF the city. The &C
ton of the new government will be
properly subject TO close scrutiny,
but It's officers should not be handi-
capped at the outset by defamation
of unsupported assertions that their
election was the result Of criminal
action by the voters.

THE ULTIMATE VICTIM.

W. D. Nesbit In Chicago Post

He had washed his windows and swept
his floor,
And he said: Il wonder who'll make a

No odds what's wrong. and no odds
what's right,
My load OF worry Is never light
For somebody comes in and wants to
On the cost of things each morning.
This white potato grew on a farm.
II came In reach Of a brokers' arm.
He viewed the crop with intense alarm
And the price went up that morning.
A middleman got that 'tater then,
Twas shipped, and sold. and was shipped
again
But my little store is robbers den,
From the way folks talk each morning.
These fresh-laId eggs. do you under
Were bought and bargsined from hand
And the price went up as the eggs went
and
am blamed for that this morning.
This flour. this sugar. this bag Of salt
They came by routes that made prices

But the verdict Is that am at fault
For the cost Of things this morning.
The people rage and the papers howl.
The reformers shout and the voters
growl
And the housewives face wears a bitter
scowi
When she orders things each morning.
Producer, railroad and middleman
Each makes the product pay all II car
And the folks put me in the roasting pen
For the cost OF things each morning"

Wilson Clark Zig-zag Race.

Texas has rolled UP big Wilson
majority and buried Harmon be-
meath 1t. This is a very significant
victory for the Bryan wing of democ-
racy. taking Mr.. Bryan at his word
that he favors any progressive"
democrat--Wilson. Clark or Gaynor.
Texas was one Of the states on which
the Harmon crowd had banked big
gest and In which II had exerted
strenuous effort TO win,
Colonel watterson says the Wilson
bubble has burst" but has IT.
While Clark was reaping his harvest
OF fifty-eight votes In Illinois. Wilson
was securing seventy-four in Penn
sylvania. Clark got Massachusetts,
twenty-eight. but Wilson got twenty
from Wisconsin, and the majority Of
Names twelve and Delawafe's SIX.
while Clark picked up fourteen in
Nebraska. They split even In Okla
homa, Clark won In Colorado with
twelve. and Wilson in Oregon with
ten. and so II goes. Wilson's
chances. TO be sure. have not ap-
peared Of late as strong as they pre-
viously did. but his victory in Texas
encourages him and his friends.
What all this Clark-wilson zig-aag
seems to indicate Is the inability OF
either to land the necessary two
thirds on the face Of returns. And
Just here. let II be said. that II any
one IL confusing his mind with the
belief that Mr.. Bryan is losing

ernor. As long as returns like those
in Texas continue to come in II is
folly to say that the Nebraskan has
lost influence, or laeks power. Gov

the voters feel as keenly and go to the
polls az faithfully az they did when the
issue was cheap money or the main
tenance Of the existing money standard,
the vote would be about 100000.
