Senator Cummins of lowa has out: |1ined at Chicago a tariff program which |may be taken to be the prograth of the #o-called republican insurgents. In ‘nlnllnx his position, aside from justify- |ing his refusal to vote for the tarift bill because dissatisfied with certain sched- ules, Senator Cummins emphasizes two points. | First and Yoremost, he disclaims (voicing any demand for the immediate reopening of the tariff for general re- vision. In his opinion such steps would produce no results seriously different |from those already obtained. A tariff commission which will ascertain and | make known the relative cost of différ- |ent articles here and abroad is first |needed to make possible more intelli- | gent action on the tarift within the pro- tective principle which should safe- |guard against foreign competitors en- |joying advantages of labor and ma- terial cost. Senmator Cummins would |have this commission take up a few branches of industry at a time and re- !rmrt findings so that congress might rafse or lower the particular schedule affected to conform to the require- | ments of adequate protection Secondly, Senator Cummins wants it distinctly understood that he, and hose who belleve with him, will work 2....42,40 41,790 :fl g i e 12,490 With republicans and not with demo- 40000 14... 40,330 |crats.

Chicagoans who really wished to hear Peary should have changed the county name of Cook. Mrs. Stétson evidently does not know Virgil O. Strickler as well as some peo- ple here in Omaha do. Dr. Cook has di ppeared from the ken of New Yorkers. They eannot lo- cate his new 1gloo. Ask the Eskimo? It was bad enough when train ban- dits stole money, but now that they h taken to looting carloads of real eggs It is time something were done.

Looking affiliated high Scientific announcement that man's every act may be traced to the food he | eats still faills to explain why some men who never touch eggs are always trying to crow over their fellows. A famous clubwoman's toast to the husbands who “fill our pocketbooks, our hearts and our lives” sounds to mere man as though the path of club- dom for woman might be a way to wis- dom, after all. Uncle Sam has a right to feel com- placent over sbme of the fruits of his magnanimity, as witness the decision of Chink t6 eduocata its youth in Amer- ican ways with the Boxer fine money which we remitted. Senator Cummins has proved a great disappoifitment to our amiable demo- cratic contempaorary, the World-Herald. The only way the lowa senator could please the World-Herald would be by making & speech opeénly and Irrevoca- bly espousing the cause of Bryan and Bryan democracy. As a rebuke to the common practice among men of berating one's own pro- fession as the worst the attitude of a New Mexico editor in refusing the ter- ritorial-governorship because it would interfere with his chosen work, which he regarded as the best in the world, may be commended to the youth of the land. The insistent horn of the auto may make grdinary mortals dodge, but at every open drawbridge stands the im- mortal Newton/s imflexible law of grav- ftation; #md no terrifying meteor's screech of man’s invention can mwke it budge.. The auto will yet come to appreciate that it is only a sharer of the highway, not its monarch. : — Our amiable democratic contem- porary’s cartoonist evidently did not catch the gist of all 1 instructions from the editorial sanctum He should have pictured a background for the republican machine showing the Metz brewery, the Anti-Saloon league, Tom Dennison, she preachers and the bankers. The harm done by such idle rumors as the Roosevelt canard is the alarm they cause among those bound close by ties of aftection and family. The shock given to Mrs. Roosevelt is as k as though the story were founded on fact. The origination of such false- hoods canuot be too vigorously con- demped. It is to be hoped this yarn may be traced to its definite source. °jln other words, a high protectiom re- | publican looks better to Senator Cum- | mins than a free trade democrat. The significance of this declaration should not be lost on republicans, to whom the democrate hold out delusive bait |to catch republican votes for demo- {eratie candidates. | Senator Cumming’ speech at Chicago |ghows that while some real differences |of opinion exist —within republican ranks, they are neither so serious nor 80 wide that they must stop the for- {ward march of the party in construc- 1(1\'@ legislation. The fact is that | President Taft, who speaks for the !whole party rather than one element |of it, has outlined a not dissimilar course. The president has favored a |tariff commission from the start and has practically said that he would use the board of experts, provided for in the tariff law, to procure much of the information which a fully empowered tariff commission would be expeeted to compile. He has said, further, that he does not believe in continuous tariff tinkering, but rather in periodic re- vision to conform to changing condi- tions, and that the next revision when it comes ought to be made in the light of more scientific and more accurate measurements of cost differences here and abroad. If the so-called insurgents accept the program laid out by Senator Cum- mins it is safe to say they will be fol- lowing President Taft most of the time. —————— Again the Czar's Yoke. The Russianizing of the Finns, 1scheduled to go steadily on under the new governor commissioned to do the czar's bidding Iis no credit to that monarch. It is evident from the march |of events that he considers himself ab- solved from his pldtiges to respect Fin- nish liberty. During the crisis with Japan it was easy to promise, but with the shadow of that war removed it is easier to find a pretext for completing his original plan of depriving the Finns of their ancient rights. Under the guise of reforms the czar is taking the control. of offices and courts from the people in the same arbitrary ‘way char- acteristic of his seigure of the province of Viborg to make it a Russian strong- hold over the Gulf of Finland. The Itallan people have just given the czar an enthusiastic greeting, be- cause he was the guest of their king, but they must have had their own thoughts concerning him because of his latest despotism against a non- Russian race, and he ‘'must have had his own thoughts about. himself on that journey, when he deliberately went hundreds of miles out of his way s0 he might be sure of the protection of the armies of friendly powers. Tn his treatment of subjects and lesser neighbors who have no powerful na- tional alliances the czar has thoroughly discredited himself in the eyes of the civilized world. The Marvelons West. To the host of people east of the Alleghenies who never viisit the west, and particularly to the millions whose western horizon is ordinarily limited by the Hudson, every big man who returns from a trip through the United States proves a missionary for the na- tion. New Yorkers profess to be astonished at nothing, yet when they |hear from Mr. Mackay, for imstance, that the stay-at-home easterner can have no comprehension of the growth and development of this western coun- try, and that western cities are modern marvels to American courage, faith, skill, all except seasoned citizens of the world are astonished. Good wine needs no bush, and the west has grown beyond the necessity of banners of self-exploitation, yet it is pleasant to know that while we of the west are working out our destiny, of the guests going home from our gates with tales of our marvels, the leaders in finance and commerce of the Atlantic seaboard are from time to time awaking their people to a realiza- tion of the magnificent progress of the newer states. To know his own country is the |our heads unturned by the laudation | THE BEE OMAHA TUESDAY, NOVEMBER duty of every American. The presi- dential journeys and the attendant publicity have been of national benefit in making the east better acquainted with the west, and every notable east- erner who returns to New York ex- pressing enthusiasm for western achievement is not 8o much a benefac- tor for the section exploited as he is a missionary for the country at large, carrying the gospel of progress back home and unifying the people through the interchange of knowledge concern- ing one another among the distant sec- tions. State Department Problems. The need for real diplomats in the service of the State again demonstrated by the discovery that fifty of our recently ratified treat- fes have thus far been ignored by for- elgn nations. Among the countries thus neglectful are Brazil, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, #Haiti, Uruguay, Chile, Honduras and The Netherlands. cover a range of subjects, chiefly arbi- tration, naturalization, extradition and codes of international law The delay by Holland in signing the conventions of The Hague peace con- terence as ratified by the senate and president of the United States matter of International concern. The general amity of natfons would also be fosteréd by the South American treaties which the countries of the southern continent are holding up. the time we approved these treaties it w understood that the terms had been mutually agreed to, and that the is a cially forthcoming. Congress has a right to investigate the reasons for delay, and such action doubtless will {be taken, but in the meantime the citizen may realize some of the vex- department. Advance in the Plague Warfare. The government report determining the specific peril of class workers is one of the most distinct gains yet plague. The knowledge that 25 per cent of the deaths of drivers and team- sters are due to consumption caused by |the constant breathing of dust ought to afford a definite point of attack against the disease. With one in every four of their vocation aflicted every driver and teamster in congested city streets ought to be provided with a breathing device that would filter the air. Such a measure of protection has already been adopted among the street sweepers of some of the larger cities. Similar p’utecuon should be afforded to the button workers and those in other trades found to be peculiarly exposed to ravages of the plague. This would be intelligent progress, based on definite knowledge. .Another immediate lesson is the right of the people at large to be pro- tected from the municipal dust that proves so deadly to men who work directly in it. Especially since the ad- |vent of the automobile has the atmos- phere above the pavements been con- stantly filled with clouds of choking dust, carrying disease germs to the nostrils and throats of all. It would seem to be the duty of each municipal- ity not only to keep its streets well swept, but also to keep moist the pave- ments frequented by: automobiles, so that the air should be reasonably free from dust and its disease breeding germs. Our old friend, Edgar Howard, piles up a small mountain of bouquets for three democrats to whom he says be- longs the credit for the magnificent campaign waged in behalf of the de- feated nonpartisan .democratic ticket, these three being the chairman, vice chairman and secretary of the demo- cratic state committee. We fear Judge Howard has let his modesty overcome him because he should, in all fairness, have thrown the biggest posy bunch at himself. The slyest trick turned for the fake nonpartisans was that bogus circular, which was con- structed on a truly clever pattern, and although there' is no evidence to indi- cate that Judge Howard had a thing to do with ¥, certain earmarks give ground for the suspicion that he knew something about it before anyone else did. But whether he did or didn't, that three of a kind ought to be en- llr;ed’lo four of a kind, with Judge Howard in the trump suit. e By the result of the New York election a new name (that of Judge Gaynor) was added to the list of democratic presiden- tial possibilities, which already includes Folk of Missouri, Harmon of Ohlo.—World-Herald. Now will you be good, Governor wrist? Please take note that Grover Cleveland’s former secretary of the in- terior, whose banner you hoisted at New Orleans, is denied recognition by the sacred party organ. Your nomi- nation of David R. Francis is hereby nullified with recourse If the democrats who captured Ne- braska's electoral vote for Bryan and elected a democratic governor last year by 8,000 plurality had this time elected only one candidate out of the six on the state ticket by even 500, what a glorious victory the democratic organs would boast of. When, how- |ever, the republicans make a clean |sweep, with the low man safe, al- though by a close majority, of cqurse it is no achievement at all.
