The Political Drift.


The final figures OF the late primary, taking
the total vote cast for all candidates for gov
ernor under the respective party designations,
which is the figure used for comparison In other
states, shows the following: Republicans, ST.
142; democrats, 63,O17 progressives. 1874;
populists 1859; with a scattering for prohibi-
ton and socialists
Two salient features stand out-the ex-
cepuonally large proportionate vote Of the dem
Gratis and the almost insignificant vote OF the
progresslves and populists. While the primary
vote Is not conclusive of division az the election
particularly upon individual candidates, It af-
fords incontestable proof that the so-caled third
parties have no great hold on the people, and
that the factionGi disturbances OF two years
ago have not cut as deeply as appeared from
SURFACE indications at the time.
In other words, the Nebraska primary con-
firms what has been disclosed by the primaries
so far held in every other state--the repeated
unification Of the republican elements that
we're before widely separated and the prospect
that by the next national campaign candidates
will be in the field representing only two i'm
portant political parties.

OMAHA, Sept. lO-To the Editor Of The
Bee; We seem to hear a great deal now
In regard TO the Russian or Slev peril
However If we will just allow our minds
to go back a few years. say at the time
OF our Civil war. we will then remember
that at that time Russia was the only
friend we had in Europe-that is. the only
nation which stood by the union in that
conflict. Such being the case, you heard
nothing at all then about this so-caIled
Russian peril. AS a matter Of fact, there
is no Russian peril. The greatest peril in
the world today is German mllltarlsm,
and for proof Of same, all you have to do
is to pick up any newspaper and see what
is going on In Europe at the present time.
II IT wasn't for German milltarlsm there
would be no war in Europe right now.

THE DEAD VOLUNTEER

Here lies a clerk who half his life had
spent
Toiling at ledgers in city gray.
Thinking that so his days would drift
away
With no lance broken In life's- tourua-
ment;
But ever twixt the books and his bright
eyes Lr.
The cleaning eagles of the legions
came,
And horsemen charging under phantom
skies 1850 e..
Went laundering past beneath the ORR
famine.
And now those waiting dreams are salts
fled,
For In the end he heard the bugle call,
And to his country then he gave his all
When in the first high hour Of life he
died
And falling thus. he wants no rec oni-
pense go
Who found his battle in the last resort:
Nor needs he any hearse to bear him
hence
Who goes to join the men of Agincour;.

Letters from q Political Heathen-
MeNtoo

SOMEWHERE, Sept lO.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: Francisco !. Madero was a
man comparatively harmless in private
me- but no was utterly inefficient. ire
sponslble and positively harmful person
IN public function His conduct was
criminal. whatever his character NAV
have been. James Buchanan wrought
more mischief than Benedict Arnold.
Rafeal De Gays Enrlquez writes thus OF
Madero
Francisco l. Madero was born to
wealth, spent his life among the business
men and merchants who composed his
family circle and was elevated to the
highest position In the republic by unfore-
seen events.
Madero was an improvised politician
an improvised revolutionist and an i'm
provised president, lacking entirely not
only In practical but even in theoretical
knowledge OF warfare, politics and ad-
ministration unacquainted even with his
associates and with the condition of the
country"
At the end of Diaz' reign of thirty-five
years the treasury contained $S5000,OOO
more than the budget called for. Madero
was president from July l. 1912. to Feb
ruary 10, 1913; and during this period OF
seven and one-half months the surplus
left by Diaz and all the current receipts
were squandered. and Madero ran the
Mexican government in debt $1,000, 1851. "a.
How often do we hear the hackneyed re-
mark: ANY man who can manage his
own business can manage public bust
ness" ct vice versa. Every day we see
the ocular demonstration Of the falseness
~. 49,
observation-disclosures jumps up and repeats the
fallacy.
Madero was not only an inefficient ad-
ministrator, but he was a sanguinary
tyrant Every well-informed American
has read the story Of the Bloody Ten
Days. which deserves to so down in
history with Herod's slaughter OF the in
nocents and with Scullabogne and Peter
loo Madero. with a smile on his face.
rode over the corpses OF 800 victims. many
OF them innocent women and children.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Madero
caused General Ruiz to be shot without
the pretense of a trial While he was
yet president Of Mexico and sitting in the
national palace he shot Lieutenant
Colonel Riveroll to death for asking him
to, resign his office. his sympathies were
not with the honest working people of
Mexicoi but with bandits and outlaws.
He made a general of Francis villa, a
man whose career Is a startling parallel
to the historic Dick Turpin. One Of the
causes OF Madero's overthrow was be-
cause the officials Of the army refused
to associate with the scoundrels 70 whom
Madero was giving commissions. There
is no reasonable doubt that he supplied
zapata with ordnance from the national
armory. In fact, this can be proved.
There is no doubt that Madero richly de-
served his fate. The method of his TAX
ing off is the only thing which It is
possible to condemn. Yet this same
Madero is the raw material out of which
villa, CarranEa, Bryan and company
would fain manufacture a martyr.

Pike. Peak Experimental Work.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Sept T.
To the Editor of Tho Bee: A charming
summer in this delightful place on the
edge of the great plains and at the foot OF
these mountain peaks, has brought 10 my
attention the exceptionally valuable scien-
tific work carried on in the Laboratories OF
Colorado College and on the summit OF
pixies peak at an altitude OF 14,19S feet.
One wonders whether our physicians and
scientific men are aware OF the contribu-
tions made here for the last four years,
under direction of DR.. Edward {.
Schneider. head OF the department Of
biology.
The institution has exceptional labora-
tory facilities, and has placed them at the
service OF the men carrying on this work
