This is chiefly because its own | people are unaware of the extent and diversity of | factory operations carried on here. They know | of the city’s supremacy as a wholesaling and job- bing point, its lead as a live stock and grain mar- ket, its place in the front rank as a meat packing and curing headquarters, and its wonderful growth and solid strength as a financial and banking cen- ter, while its lead in retail business is admitted. | But they do not know that it has reached a very | high place as the home of manufacturing plants, whose product goes all over the world, and com- prises all manner of things for the use of man, The Flag day parade, when 30,000 people marched and other thousands stood on the sidewalks and cheered, gave some notion of the induétrial im- portance of the city, and the parade of yesterday added to this impression. The fact that Omaha is really a manufacturing center of much import- ance is slowly coming home to its citizens. The output of the local factories runs into hundreds of millions annually, the factories are numbered by the hundreds, and the operatives by the thou- sands. Thirty thousand wage earners are on the pay roll in Omaha, and their earnings mount high into the millions each year. They are the solid foundation on which the present prosperity and, future greatness of the city rests. Our own peo- ple should make themselves more familiar with the facts, and thus help the world outside to get a better notion of what we are doing at home, Under Wilson’s Leadership. QOur esteemed but wobbly democratic contem- porary, the World-Herald, is just now frantically boasting of the splendid qualifications of Wood- row Wilson as head of the democratic party., The owner of the World-Herald ought to know all about this, for he was not only led to the trough, but was made to drink. He started a revolt to force concessions to him on Nebraska federal pat- ronage. He not only failed to get the places he demanded, but was whipped into line and made to vote for measures he had opposed through his paper and on the floor of the senate, No man in his party is better qualified to speak from per- — One of the omitted “don’ts” is “don’t play the paddle wheels or other gambling games unless willing to lose the money.” Speaking of the Newberry bill, isn't this the same railroad rate reduction bill that was vetoed by Nebraska’s first democratic governor? Now that the packers have fattened the pay envelopes a bit, consumers will step up to the counter with the price and look pleasant. P — Ob, yes, the “tow line” will get the money all right, but let it get it for what it is; i. e, to re- plenish the senator’s personal'campaign war-chest, and not under fdlse pretenses. — The boom in marriage licenses coupled with a steady demand for homes may be accepted as pledges of loyal support of the movement to make Omaha a city of a million people. — The president of the Federation of Women's Clubs outlines a large program of reforms which will give the members several busy years.

And here is the democratic campaign committee /trying now to mobilize the whole army of post- - masters in defiance of the civil service law.

Newspa- per comment anent his birthday anniversary un- doubtedly reflects national sentiment in hailing the chief of staff as the savior of the fatherland. ‘What put the wage increase force bill through congress was not that the question is not “arbi- trable,” but the fact that the president used the strike club on conj with the labor leaders | holding the stop-watch. It was an abject sur- render of the principle of arbitration, pure 'and “simple. Nebraska Political Comment . Fremont Tribune: The Bee scores a good :olm against Senator Hitchcock when it revives is attitude toward the president's action in re- gional bank legislation. Senator Hitchcock then resented the interference of the president in leg- islative matters as a usurpation of legislative authority. Now the senator is warmly approving the grelidem'a action brow-beating congress into assing a law demanded by the railway brother- goodc. ‘The senator’s claim to “independence’ doesn’t look so good when you get all the slants of it Grand Island Independent: It is noticeable that the latest issue of The Commoner leads away with a very eulogistic editorial on the “eleven remedial” measures passed by congress; that it has highly commendatory comments on President Wilson's address of acceptance; that it warmly efddorses the candidacy of Congress- man Jones of Virginia; that Senate Leader Kern should be re-elected; that Speaker Clark should " be given a ltlendid endorsement; that Thomas R. Marshall should be handsomely re-elected, and thac Nebraska—so far asi can be gleaned from even the most painstaking perusal—has no demo- cratic candidate for United States senator or for governor. sonal experience of the efficiency with which the president has dominated democracy and worked his will through congress than is our democratic senator. He might also tell how it feels to have the party lash over his back, and be compelled to assent to legislation and policies which he pub- licly asserted weré wrong. Of course, ndw that he needs the votes, he is ardently professing un- diluted admiration for the man who lined him up and made him swallow all the secret caucus edicts framed to suit twenty-nine southern senators who shaped every law passed under the Wilson re- gime. Putting It Up‘to the Postmasters. . Evidence of another violation of the civil serv- ice law by the democrats has been produced. The bosses of that delectable party want votes, and are not at all particular as to how they obtain them. This is their sole excuse for undertaking to dragoon the fourth-class postmasters of the coun, try into service as “Wilson workers,” and set them gfie task of securing support for the presi- dent in his campaign for re-election. No more shameless exhibition of partisan desperation has ever been given in American 'politics. Postmasters are public servants, and not parti- san tools. The fourth-cl postmaster - were placed by republican presidents under the civil service law and had that protection until Wood- row Wilson was inaugurated. One of the very first executive dtdeérs issued by him, coming in April, 1913, only a month after he had been in office, removed these public servants from the classified list, and made them subject to political whim. This was primarily to get places for “de- serving democrats,” The present raid of the dem- ocrat,ic national committee is merely an extension of the Wilson move. Contrast this action with the platform dec- laration of the party, adopted by the St. Louis convention: “We reaffirm our declarations fi the rigid enforcement of civil service laws.” At Baltimore in 1912 the democrats declared: “The law pertaining to the civil service should be hon- estly and rightly enforced, to the end that merit and ability shall be the standard of appointment and promotion, rather than service rendered to a political party.” In no other way have the democrats more brazenly exhibited the hypocrisy of their pledges than in their dealings with the civil service. Laws and platforms, merit and deserts, have little in- fluence with the donkey when it 'goes browsing for votes. End of the Coroner’s Office. The supreme court of Nebraska has upheld the law passed by the last legiglature, intended to abolish the useless office of coroner., Hereaftér, the fees that have gone to support that office will remain in the treasury, while the small service performed by the functionary holding the title will be looked after by the county attorney, to whose office they rightfully belong. The Bee feels a warranted sense of gratification in the out- come of this case, having initiated the movement for domg away with the needless duplicaticn of official machinery and consequent added expense that was borne by the taxpayers. After fanuary i, 917, the office of the coroner will be no yore in Nebraska, and none will miss it, save those who have found in it a reliable connecticn with tne pub.ic rreasury, This is another real service The Bee has performed for Nebraska, The worst is yet to come for oil consumers, With sjghs of more or less inward grief, the Na- tional ' Petroleum association announces that higher prices are sure to come when war ends. Europe will require vast quantities of oil and “the price will startle consumers.” Evidently the pro- ducers regard ithis year's 10-cent raise as pre- liminary exercise for the main event. By means of a federal inquiry into straw bond 1% Awrora Republican: It is not necessary to figures to convict the Morchead adminis. tration of ex\ravarance. Governor Sheldon and a republican legislature collected in state taxes for the 1907-8 biennium $4,754,240.56, from which ' a substantial payment was made on the state’s debt. Governor Morehead and a demo- ~eratic lature collected for the 1913-14 bien- ~ mium $7,352,470.35, or almost twice as much, with mo fleating debt to provide for. Simply because _ this amount has been reduced for the 1915-16 ~ biennium to $6,334,062.62 indicates no permanent Y of democratic policy.

Hughes is a liberal of liberals in his whole outlook upon social and industrial progress. I have been through the record of Justice Hughes while he was on the bench at Washington with a view to finding at first hand how his mind and heart reacted to the claims of labor. And the whole record is splendid in its human sympathy and profound sense of justice. Look us Truax against Raich, 239 U. S. Raich was an Austrian alien, admitted by the national government, and the state of Arizona sought to «deny him the right to work because he was an alien. And Hughes flung the mantle of national power over him and decided that the right to work for a living in the common occu- pations of the community was a fundamental right protected by the constitution of the United States. This was the famous case which aroused criticism of Mr. Gompers, particularly on the round that the injunction process was invoked in a labor suit. As a matter of fact, the injunc- tion was sought by a wage earner to protect a wage earner, and not by an employer against a wage carner, And although the point of view of organized labor is sound to the effect that the American standard of living must not be allowed to be lowered by alien hordes, it is wrong to seck to uphdld an unworthy state law which violated fundamental rights protected by the constitution of the United States. The place to control the flow of immigration is at the national source by national power. It is the federal government which controls the ad- mission of aliens. And no state government has a right to interfere by subterfuge. Or take Coppage against Kansas, 236 U. S, in which, joining in a minority opinion, Justice Hughes repudiated the theory that an employer has any right directly or indirectly to coerce his employes against joining labor unions, and hence supported the Aiew that the state could intervene to protect employes against such coer- cion. He and Justice Holmes supported the principle of the free organization of labor pow- erfully by dissenting opinion. Or look up Bailey against Alabama, 219 U. S. In this fundamental case Hughes defended as the essence of personal liberty the right of a black peon to leave his job. No matter how the vic- tim had been inveigled into a contract which made a peon of him because he could not pay his debt, Hughes brushed away the pretense of legality and let nothing stand in lfle way of the right of the humblest toiler in the lowest ranks of labor. It is an illuminating record which Mr. Gom- E{Crl and all who doubt would do well to ponder. ughes was always on the side of governmental power which secured justice for the weak and the defenseless. The California chambermaid, the Alabama peon, the pupil nurse, the railway employe, Hughes was always right from the standpoint of broad justice to the weak and the defenseless, no matter whether he had to vote with the minority or the majority of the court. It was the working of a just mind which knew the whole range of American life and all its struggles. For he himself has from his early boyhood known what it was to work and to struggle. But it is as easy for him to be just to the man of wealth and power. "'When he was gover- nor of New York on two notable occasions he faced the danger of momentary popular obliquy in order to-do right by the railway corporations of the state. It is easy for him because he has inherited a powerful sense of right, and he has a mind superbly fitted to analyze facts, just plain facts and nothing more. It is a mind of the sort that can be trusted to act in time and with firmness and justice in_international relations. Certain great coun- tries of the world have learned at awful cost the lesson of peril which lies in vacillating and uninformed puglic leadership, In foreign affairs the whole difference between war and peace frequently lies here. A really safe and strong na- tional executive must know thoroughly and in- stinctively the psychology of the Mexican bandit, the French politician, the German bureaucrat and many other types of world characters. And in foreign relations h¢ must have the capacity to act decisively and with knowledge. Hughes is that kind of man. His swift and happy transi- tion from the cloister of the supreme court to hobnobbing with Ty Cobb and the cowboys and the Butte miners and the vast crowds which met him when he first crossed the country only indicates the versatility of his nature and his knowledge of humanity. He trusts the expert, and what he does not know himself he knows where to find out in time. And when he finds ot he knows how to and will act at the earliest moment. One of the most fatal defects of recent gov- ernment at Washington he will quickly remedy. Hughes would enforce to the letter the demo- cratic platform of 1912, which declared that the constitutional rights of American citizens should protect them on the border and go with them throughout the world, and that every American citizer residing or having property in any foreign country is entitled to and must obtain the full rotection of the United States government, both or himself and his property. The present ad- ministration has altered the ingrained habit of every nation in its want of respect for American OCTOBER 4, pqokerty rights in Mexico. And without the slightest resemblance to adequate notice, [ can conceive of a country altering the national habit of mankind for good cause, and giving adequate notice against future property investments within certain circumscribed spheres; but once men have entered the open door and once wealth invest- ments are honorably embarked upon traditional national protection, I cannot conceive how a government can command the respect of its citi- zens or of the world and fail in l;“ duty either to life or property. Hughes is committed to and will undoubtedly see to the fulfilment of this primary function of government. Democratic apologists are covering the fatu- ous and inefficient foreign policy of their party by playing upon the beautiful and sentimenta) instinct of the people in favor of peace. Hughes is calling the American people back to the thought of duty. He is meeting the sentimental enthusiasm which is deeper /and truer. The democratic party has considered every grave for- eign question from the standpoint of what would be the consequences. Hughes is considering the slmhe questions from the standpoint of what is right. 0 People and Events Southern employers of labor view with in- creasing alarm the exodus of negroes to the north, The demand for plain labor in the north is making serious inroads in'the colored ranks. Some 20,000 negroes have left Alabama alone in the past four months. Georgia and Mississippi have lost a like number. Episcopal clergymen of Chicago divide about equally on the question of striking out the word “damn” from the prayerbook and substituting “condemn,” as recommended by the revision come mittee. Opponents of the change insist that the old ‘word carries a punch that cannot be im- Y‘mved in reach or fearsome power. As Harry auder would say: “Ye canna bate it.” The purchase of Treasure Island by John T. McCutcheon, Chicago Tribune cartoonist, is fol- lowed by the announcement of his engagement to Miss Evelyn Shaw of Lake Forest, fll.

Silver Creek, Neb., Oct. 38.—To the Editor of The Bee. In his spoech at Long Branch, President Wilson is quoted as saying that the ‘“program of the democratic party is to continue the liberalization of American business and to place the :people in control of their government.” The above is a fair sample of Wil- son's highfalutin, rhetorical deliver- ances that impress some people as be- ing a mark of greatness. Passing “liberalization of business, what about the people controlling their govern- ment? There never was a time in the his- tory of our government when the peo- ple had so little control of it as they have since Wilson became president. He, himself, Is the government, both as to the executive and legislative parts of it, and if he should be nlected for another four years we may expect him to undertake to dominate the Jjudiciary also. We elect men to con- gress and, whether democrats or re- publicans, with a very few honorable exceptions they either bow down to this great autocratic personification of inordinate self-conceit like a lot of weak-kneed nincompoops or keep still. Electing men to congress has come to be a vain and useless thing. We don't need them—-we have something bet- ter; they are barnacles on the keel of the ship of state and should be scraped off, If Wilson should be re-elected he should emulate the example of Oliver Cromwell in dispersing of the long parliament, and send a body of sol- diers to toss them out of the windows with their bayonets. If the democrats of the United | States wish to do something by way of ‘“placing the people in control of | their government,” they should drop Wilson like a hot potato. If by reason of the above meander- ings Wilson should be of the opinfon that I am “disloyal,” he may spare himself the trouble of telling me not to vote for him, for I surely shall not come within 14,000, miles of it.
