The Iire siook Sitnation.

When the Chicago stockyards closed down
because OF the discovery OF that deadly hoof
and mouth disease among cattle, II was for a
period Of ten days. but the fear now lie that ten
days may by no means suffice 70 warrant re-
opening the yards. The disease seems to be
more widespread than at first believed. II has
been found to exist in other states besides those
in which II was originally located. Yet every
effort is being exerted to guard against it's
further spread and prolong the period OF de-
preston. One OF the remarkable features Of
the situation is the celebrity with which the great
machinery of the governmental inspection and
treatment IL thrown into action. The Importance
Of the live stock industry is also emphasized by
the governments action in sharing losses. which
will mount up into millions. II must be re-
membered that the average receipts at Chi
cago alone are 31,25O,O0O in live stock,
that 10000 persons are employed in those yards.
Multiplying this S1,25O.OOO by the number Of
days OF idleness gives some idea OF the scope OF
the situation. Then the comprehension is al
most staggered TO think OF other great packing
centers, such Kansas City. Omaha, st. Louis
being similarly affected. Thus far, we are happy
to say, this is not the case, and we will hope
the Immunity may continue until this cattle
plague is stamped out.

A Little Plain Talking.

In the afterglow of the election Il is time for
a little plain talking What we say, however,
we want II distinctly understood. is with no de-
fire TO rub It in" on any one. but rather to
point out lesson or two which might other
wise be overlooked
First and foremost. the vote cast in Omaha
and Douglas county proves conclusively that
talk about "a Third ward gang" being in control
here is the veriest rot After proclaiming that
he wanted no Third ward votes, Mr. Howell
naturally got mighty few in that ward, but this
is mere drop in the bucket. Mr.. Howell lost
not only the Third ward, but also every other
ward in the city Of Omaha, including his own
home ward, except two. OF which he carried one
by fifteen and the other by ninety--and in ad-
dtion he lost South Omaha and the country pre-
cincts He received nearly 1900 votes less in
Douglas county than Governor Aldrich polled
two years ago. and Governor Aldrleh did not
live in Douglas county. gang" might pos
sibly dominate one two wards. but only
diseased mind will imagine that a majority OF
the votes cast in the best residence districts Of
Omaha are controlled by any Third ward lnflu-
ence
In the second place, the election lust held
was held under the so-called honest elections
law, which, presumably, closed every avenue
through which false registration, colonization.
repeating, OF any species OF ballot box fraud
could possibly be committed After the election
two years ago, the defeated candidates filled
the air with charges OF crooked work In the
election booths, but no suspicion attaches to the
conduct of the present election boards. Yet In
the footings. Governor Morehead. who won out
in Douglas county two years ago by s,42s is
found to have actually increased his lead to
S,s22. Obviously, It Is not the length OF the
ticket, nor the personnel OF the election ma
chinery, nor the counting of the ballots that is
the deciding factor when the people know what
they want, and what they do not want.
In the third place, the burden Of any undesir-
able candidate on the ticket weights down the
whole ticket, and endangers the other candi-
dates. who, without this handicap. would be abb
solutely assured OF winning. On the face OF the
registration, Omaha and Douglas county are over
whelmingly republican. and whenever a repub-
lioan ticket is presented that can command
united party support the votes here may be
counted on TO give decisive republican majorItles

As to a State Commissioner Of EduOatio,


With the move to abolish the office of state

nces The Bee is in hearty sympathy The con-
version OF these places into appointive posi-
lions is part OF our plan for shortening the bal
lot We see no more reason OF argument for
having these educational positions filled by
popular election than for similarly choosing
city superintendents. university chancellors,
normal school presidents or high school prin-
cipals by popular vote.
When II comes to a recommendation for
mAkeshift commission or board either state or
county. TO be vested with the power to appoint
to these supervising positions we are not SO
sure We are In accord. Why has the governor

that a few days ago a friend Of mine
told me that the Christian Science church
without any fuss collected $500 for the
relief of the Belgians. Several weeks ago
the British born people who reside in
Omaha held a meeting at Jacobs Hall
with the object OF assisting their rnfor-
tunate friends in the countries In which
they were born. on account OF the great
calamity which has ovsrtaken Europe.
We had a splendid meeting. a prominent
divine opened the meeting. a most popu-
lar gentleman Of Scotch birth was made
permanent chairman and we got up a
splendid organization OF gentlemen Of
English, Scotch Irish and Canadian birth
and We all felt good and gave as much
as we could, some more, some less.
We adjourned with the idea that we
should be called together again and the
good work carried on. Since that time
have heard no word OF what the Gem
mittee 10 doing. or OF any meeting being
called. though my idea was when ] gave
