Notwithstanding the loud noise with which the democrats have re- peatedly demanded the popular elec- tion of United States senators, the real hitch is in the solid south, where the states are overwhelmingly democratic. The democratic national platform has called for this change every four years, but where are Alabama, Flor- ida,. Georgla, Marylatid, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginla? Here are seven southern states with: demo- cratic |legislatures which have it within their power o start the ball a-rolling, but which show no signs of doing s0. Whenever-fhe inquiry is madé why the demand for.the elec- tion of United States senators is not met, let the answer We the true one. A Question and an Answer. BRADSHAW, Neb., Jan, 81—To the Edl- tor of The Bee: ‘Inasmuch as you are prinmting aumerous clippings* from- country newspapers commenting upon. the Lincoln insurgent meeting in @ rather uncompli- mentary way, how wauld, it be to print in parallel columns what is sald by the ecoun- try press, eomplimentary -as well as that uncomplimentary. ., That would be fair, would it not? Now, we 4o not know that any of the republican hewspapers of the stote are saving anything, complimentary, but it would be rather. sirange If there were not & few. There are none in York county, however, but should there be in the state The Bee would mot'in any way commit itselt by printing olippings on both sldos. Thers are a good many York county re- publicans who are In sympithy with the in- surgents in congress and are anxious to see them win out for the prinoiples for which they are lined up, but we do not krow of any who are Jn sympathy with the Insurgent movement down at Lincoln. They: look upon the Ve down ‘there as emanating from a lot of fellows having sore spots, and chronie office seckers. The republicans of York county have not lost thelr faith in Senator Burkett yet, and in saying this we do not in any way place anything disparaging against Mr. Whedon. Now, Mr. Editor, inasmuch as this is a #mull family matter of difference in opin- fons, do you not think it would be fair for The Bee, the great metropolitan exponent of Nebraska republicanism, to treat all repub- ilean newspapers of the state with equal courtesy? What do you say? Yours for fair play, JOHN B. DEY. So far as we cin judge from the tone of the country newspapers which might be expected to encourage the in-| surgents, what 12 true of Yg¢rk county is true throughout the staté, with the possible exception of Lincoln and Lan- caster county. The great body of Ne- braska republicans, ds voiced by their nowspapers, are progressive but not insurrectionary, and they decline to let any small group of men’' actuated by questionable. motivés put them in a position of antagonisth to President Taft and his administration. The re-| publican papers in Nebraska, with few exceptions, have repudiated the Lin- coln crowd and declined to fojlow. Our correspondent, who, himselt, used to edit a paper that would be classed with the antls, wants to hear from both sides. The bést we can do is to give him an extract or two from pa- pers that would pmMQIy be disposed to insurge under more favorable con- dftions, Here is what the Alblon News says after dealing as gently as possible with the Linegin meetin The da of reform miovements alwavs is too big & hurry to achleve resulty.

Whedon won't de, because his record as a machine man s sure td dis- credit him before he gets fairly started: Sheldon has temporized and hesitated long that he is net avallable, and Norris' location Is not in e favor, although that I8 by no means a vital objestion. Suceess At the polls with an honest, aggressive can- didate would be a foregone eonelusion, but In the preseht ohaotic condition of affatrs the future is not very reassuring. A con- ference of republicans representing all sec- | tions of the state might accomplish som: thing, but it must be free from the plelon of manipulation and It must be gov- erned with the idea of constructing rather than with the one idea of criticising and complaining. From what the republican newspa- pers in Nebraska are saying, excepting again one or two published at Lineoln, | The Bee can see no reason why the re- publicans of this state cannot again in 1910 present a united fromt against H the democratic enemy and get behind |' President Taft and his legislative pro- gram just as they did in 1906 behind President Roosevelt and his policies, and score an equally decisive vietory. The Virtue of Patience. “Some grumble because they have children and others because they have none.” Bo runs the old song, and much philosophy s therein contained. | Some labor unions are boycotting the | so-called meat trust to be in thelr own turn boycotted by others. One sec-! tion of the country is entirely content while in another the world seems on the eve of a eoclal cataclysm. But the world is not about to be destroyed be-| cause some blue-goggled faultfinder a8 a weak digestion. Pessimism ought not to be catching if folka keep themselves well disinfected. The children of Israel were not a particu- larly happy people while in the wilder- ness. But, none the less, Moses turned a deaf ear to the calamity howl- | ers and when the promised land was in sight many were the exclamations, “I told you so0.” An intelligent peo- ple will not imitate the antics of u\ French Jacquerie. Rather will they walt, llke the English in 1688, wl'.h| calmness and patience and try to help | | social forces bring about an adequate | readjustment. This is a true test of patriotic citizenship. Loyalty to a na- tion's ideal spells fealty to the de- veloping of these ideals. Patriotism is needed In a time of stress. The ship of state will never be wrecked while the sailors remain at their posts unterrified by creaking timbers and the noise of surface waves. { A demand for $250,000 damages 1s to be made on the New York Central railroad for the killing- jof Spencer Trask, the capitalist and banker, who met death in a collision on that road the closing week of last year. Of course, the claim may be settled for less money, but it reflects the tendency to figure a death loss on the basis of the earning capacity of the victim for the years remaining to him on a nor- mal expectation of life. And it is only a few years since that we had laws on our statute books limiting the amount | that could be recovered in such cases to $5,000, Darius Miller, the new president of the Burlington, is a seasoned rallway man, who will without question il the place with energy and efficlency, but he will not seem quite so close to | Nebraska as his retiring predecessor, | George B. Harris, who was really a Nebraskan, so far as long residence and permanent interests in the state could make him. What we all hope | ie that President Miller in the future management of the road will exert himself as much as did President Har-| ris to keep Nebraska in big letters on the Burlington map Our old friend of 16 to 1 free silver | days, Charles A.

Our amiable demoeratic contem- porary justifies itself for bringing In a verdiot of gull'y on Ballinger before even the fre¢ witness has completed his testimouy by calling attention to a | republican newspaper that has printed a resume of the charges. Printing a resume of charges is not asserting that they have been proved. The New York Journal of Com- merce refers to the inflation of rail- way capitalization by 'k watering as ‘“a modern and skiliful form of robbery."

VETERAN RIVER PILOT AT REST Landed First Passenger on the Site of Omaha. St. Louts Republic. In 1804, when Lewis and Clark went up the Missouri river, they passed in sight of a settler's cabin on the bank of the stream, in what is dow Franklin county, Missouri, and the seftler and his wife looked out with eager curiosity as they went by. The set- tler was the father of Captaln Willlam R. Massie, dean of western river pilots, who died af 8t, Luke's hospital on Satur- day. So short Ip the history of the great west, 3 The captaln was born in 1829, just ten years after the first steamboat went up the His father kept a “wood vard,” and as a small boy he became expert in handiing “‘woed-flats’ (barges which tied up to passing steamets while the roust- abouts unloaded the, fuel they carried) in the swift currgnt. While still a mere, lad he became @ pllot, and his elghtleth sum- mer found him still at the wheel. He had followed his . chosen calling for almost sixty-five years. To the last his memory was, accurate and his interest In western rivers and thelr history unabated.

Louls survivors of the party of 435 passengers who went with him to the head of nayigation on the steamer Twi- light. All the meat that was eaten on that trip the captaln killed-butfalo, caught, while swimming the river, with the noose, and hauled on board by means of the | derrick-fall, In 1867 the captain brought | seventeen live buffaloes to St. Louis, which were captured in the same way.

Senator Norrls Brown of Nebraska has a conspleuous pleture In the bunch, posed at his desk In & studious attitude, evidently contemplating what the fates have in store for his sixteenth amendment. The writer saye of him: Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska I8 one of the able and companionable Insurgents who is capable of saying flery things with tremendous vehémence. But for all the cutting things he believes It 18 in the line of his duty to say at times, privately he has admitted that it is most distasteful to him to be compelled to hurt the feel- inge of the other fellow. When the exasperating teriff sesslon was nearing its close a friend of the Ne- braskan sald to him: “enator Brown, what sort of sesson 4id you put In? Did you enjoy It hugely?" This, of coufse, was a direct reference to many spirited tongue lashings that Brown as an insurgent had dealt the reg- ulars. “On the Wontrary,” replied the senator, in @ confidential way and with a serious look that could not be denied, “it was the lonesomest seasion of my life, and I'm heartlly glad it's over.” He, llke Boveridge and Nelson and his tellow Nebraskan, Senator Burkett—and, in fact, a majority of the Insurgents—are selft-made men. Burkett, who is only 42, and, therefore, to be numbered among the | youngest senators from the beginning of | in appeardnce | that body, s reminiscent of Buchanan, both in body and cwnle»; nance. As a member of the house he gained the reputation of belng a sort of watchdog of the treasury, and that he is| consclentious as . senator' his bitterest rivals have been heard to admit. Talk about the complications of life— Jncle Sam has his troubles. Interesung facts are nunea trom the blue book of | 1909, which has just sned by the| Census department. The number of fed- eral workers on the government payroll 18 now rapldly approaching 400,000, which rep- resents a 2 per cent increase in about two years, The Treasury department leads with an enroliment of almost 7,00 persons, and Secretary MacVeagh has the largest pay- roll of any cabinet official. Over $31,000,000 are pald to 28,000 persons in Washington, averaging a little over $1,000 each. This will be increased during the coming year by the 3,000 people to be added to the Census department, which will soon evap- orate the additional appropristion of $5,- 000,000. All other statés and territories take a back seat in the rear of the national capital when it comes to the enjoyment of Unole Sam’s payroll, when compared to the District of Columbia.' Residents of this area recelve over 37,000,000 of the budget; New York follows with a compensation for governmental service aggregating a little over $3,000,000. Arizona is the most modest in the sisterhood of states in regard to the money recelved, as her officials only re- celve a total of $25,000. Strange to say, the executive department of the government does not stand high on the payroll or in regard to the number of persons employed; only forty-three persons all told are én- gaged in attending to the business and personal affairs of the president of “the United. States, and the executive depart- ment of the “greatest nation on earth,” as Barnum would say it. o The Iife of a senator is not always qulet and without excitement; especially Is it 80 of & new senator, and until he gets used to the many little kinks of a senators everyday program, he is often jarred and sometimes positively frightened.

The senator jumped up, grabbed his hat and coat, and made a bee line for the door. “Hey, senator, what's the matter?" called out his clerk, who, by the way, has been there some time. “The bullding s on fire. Didn't you hear the fire bell?” “Come back, senator, that is the signal for executive session.” The new solon went back and resumed his writing, but very reluctantly.
