The Old Employer's Day The happiest man In Nebraska today la doubtless the Hon. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, the Representative Jn Congress from the Second district nd proprietor of the Omaha World-Herald. In the Senatorial primary he has beaten Mr. Richard L. Metcalfe,' whom he once employed on his paper ' as a reporter.' and at the same time he has triumphed over, confounded and flabbergasted another of his old employes, the Hon. William J. Bryan, who pitted against him the said Metcalfe, editor of Mr. Bryan's pert sonal organ, the Commoner. Friends had solicited Mr. Bryan to be a candidate himself at the primary, but magnanimously, or adroitly, he passed the honor on to his understudy. This is what Mr. Bryan said of the protege: ' . , "I believe he can, -under existing conditions, poll a larger percentage of the Democratic vote than , any other Democrat, and I include myself among the others. I believe too that he can poll more Republican votes than any of the rest of us could. He will be as popular with the insurgent Republicans as with the Democrats. He can defeat Mr. Burkett and give us a reform Democrat to work with the progressive Democrats and insurgent Republicans in the Senate." From a sketch of Mr. Metcalfe published in 1903 we take the following: "Richard I Metcalfe is probably closer to William J. Bryan than any other man living. He has been Mr. Bryan's confidant and political adviser for years." In 1900, when the Democratic nomination went to Mr. Bryan by default and he dictated the national platform, the loyal Metcalfe gave his days and nights to the labor of composition. So ran the story. At any rate, inquirers were referred to him. When the Hon. Norman E. Mack, another political editor, sounded a bugle call for harmony in 1903, it was the handy Metcalfe who wrote an open letter for Mr. Bryan explaining how Impracticable it was for his disciples to coalesce and hobnob with admirers of Mr. Cleveland. For many years Mr. Metcalfe has been writing pieces in the Commoner that have been attributed to his chief. They think the same politics and their medium of expression is very much the same, although in smoothness and roundness of period Mr. Metcalfe slightly excels. When Mr. Bryan put up his employee against the former employer of both of them in the Senatorial pril mary Metcalfe became in a sort a vicarious candidate; the Senatorship would be bis if be headed the poll and the Legislature proved to be Democratic; the glory of leadership would rightly belong to Mr. Bryan. Both of them would have dearly loved to trounce their old employer. But as It turned out. all the satisfaction is Mr. Hitchcock's. Mr. Bryan's leadership suffers another rude shock. Technically head of his party in the nation, he is being rapidly drawn into the ruck in Nebraska. These are rainy days for Mr. Bryan: "The vine still clings to the mouldering wall. But at every gust the dead leaves fall." Gilbert M. Hitchcock was more than a humble instrument in shaping a career when he made Mr. Bryan political editor of the Omaha WorldHerald at a living wage and helped him to attend the national convention at Chicago in 1896. Meditating on the former employee's rise to leadership of the Democratic party, his three campaigns for the Presidency, and his acquisition of a fortune by writing, lecturing and preaching, it must give the old employer a peculiar thrill of satisfaction to know that he is to be the Democratic candidate for Senator in Nebraska In aplte of the great man's efforts in behalf of the other employe.

Concerning, a Pavilion
Dr. Zimmerman is dead right about the pavilion in the Glen. This paper has consistently fought such a movement and given its reasons. The erection of a frame pavilion such as chautauquas are held in all over the country would spoil the beauty of the Glen and partly destroy its utility as a park. A park is useful only as a rest and a change from other products of our "civilization." People are coming to the point where they do not care for even the formal garden the geranium and canna flower bed they want the best work of the landscape architectwhich means helping nature and not painting the lily. And so in this matter of buildings in the Glen, what the people want Is not a mass of shingled ugliness but the open air, the grass, the trees the things that make the Glen valuable to this city. The idea that the mayor brings up, that the park is not a place for a money, making concern no matter what a legislature of this state may or may not have done as far as legalizing chautauquas in parks, Is just plain every day common sense. What we have is a park. What we want is a park. And we don't want to lose it by putting up a pavilion that will take wreckers and the beauty of providence to get rid of. The last time this paper had something to say on this very question It called to mind that bower of beauty known as the High Point hotel which was wished upon this city by certain financiers who hoped to make some money out of a corresponding high point in real estate values in that section of the town. It took Borne time to get rid of that nightmarish dream of beauty and. court of love and loveliness. That garish monstrosity of red and yellow timbers with the paint peeling off was reminiscent of the Lope that failedas lovely as a public service corporation franchise fifty years gone. Then, too, most of us recall the only thins on this earth which was worse looking than the High Point hotel that was the street car barn which furnished the climax of monstrosities in a free for all race of eclectic architecture. Of course the Chautauqua is a good thing and has many moral and aesthetic properties which we all varylngly and variously appreciate but the pavilion proposition hasn't anything to do with the morality and aesthetics of the Chautauqua. All the attempts at beautifying the Glen by erecting buildings In It are just about as successful as placing sign boards around the lake telling where to buy shoes. We suggest that in event this city allows that pavilion to be erected that It derive some revenue from the Glen by granting concessions to those who want to advertise in that way. There might be a lot of money in that but it is to bo thought that the town would have the decency and good taste to betake itself elsewhere when it went out to get a little rest.

Items Gathered In From Far and Near
Vacations, -From the Boston Transcript. Some persona take vacations at any time and others at almost all times, but the period recognized as the vacation season proper is now half spent The unrest of which it is at least the partial satisfaction begins to be felt aa soon as the woods and fields take on fresh verdure, and nature has been wearing that aspect for at least three months, but from early July to. middle September society of all kinds is on the wing. The Impulse is growing. The vacation has become an established institution, and the man who disclaims a desire to take one, especially if he occupies a position of fiduciary trust, is regarded with suspicion. For the sake of their reputations bank employes and all who handle other people's money should vacate long enough to enable the directors to Bee how their books stand. Considered on one Bide vacations are a relaxation, a means of physical and mental rehabilitation; on another they are an industry. Every year more hotels are building, more boarding houses are opened, more camps are established, and railroads and steamships add to their equipment and increase their schedules to meet the growing demand. Picture Post Cards. i From the New York Tribune. The picture post card manufacturer is your real modern explorer. You may flatter yourself that you have made a discovery when you happen in the course of your foot tour upon a neighborhood so remote that neither you nor any of your acquaintances has ever heard of its existence, many miles distant from railroad and main traveled roads; but you will find the picture postcard waiting you at the four corners general store. Its manufacturer has been there before you. He has explored the place and caught with his camera all its secrets of rustic charm and quiet, all its quaint delights of creepr-covered clapboard architecture. Nothing escapes the man with the commercial camera. He anticipates demand with an abundant supply. He outstrips the ubiquitous Messrs. Cook, he supplements Herr Baedeker, he puts to shame the topographical knowledge of the oldest inhabitant, the sharpened perception of the most romantic couple in search of picturesque solitude. Pistol "Accidents." From the Philadelphia Press. An eleven-year-old boy, "laboring under the hallucination that he was impersonating a true wild west character "shot and seriously injured his sister when he tried to frighten her with a loaded revolver Saturday night. Homicides and "accidents" of this kind due to the indiscriminate pos session of fire arms, are of such frequency that public opinion should be aro,used to the necessity of stricter laws for the regulation of pistol carrying. Similar "accidents" do not happen in any other country than America, nor does the "didn't-know-it-was-Joaded" fool flourish where severe punishment Is certain to follow his "joke." Shame the Whittlera. From the Baltimore Sun. The women of Pocomoke are having the streets cleaned and the weeds pulled up and the fences whitewashed while the men whittle. Ways of Women. From the Milwaukee Free Press. Why women should write letters to Dr. Crippen is another one of those things that it is difficult to understand. The Comforting Weather Map., From the Dayton News. There is always the right kind of weather In some parts of the United states, according to the weather map. Luxuries of the Poor. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. It trolley cars are the automobiles of the poor the city parks are their country estates. lo.gn. Hobo Madam, you muster misunderstood me. Dis here piece o' meat ain't what 1 ast fer.

Heart to HeartTalks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye RISKED LIFE FOR A HIRO. William Dayton, a aailor. risked his life in Philadelphia te save a sparrow. The bird bad been caugbt by a tan gled kite string in the top of a large sycamore tree, where it fluttered helplessly, lta cries attracting a crowd. Dayton threw off his coat and climbed the tree, reaching the top. sev ¬ enty-live feet from the paremout. Tho small branches bent beneath b! weight Crawling cautiously, he cau! the string and released the bird. The crowd cheered. The Humane society gave him medal. Whereat somebody may say: "Pool Much ado about nothing!" Perhaps somebody has never rem how Abraham Lincoln saved the rol Ins. It was in the early days when Liu coin, the young lawyer, was riding th Springfield circuit. In those times th judges and the lawyers traveled to gether usually on horseback fron town to town where the court wa held. On this day there hud been wind nur rain. As the horsemen, with many ; jest passed along the road a motbei robin was observed to be in much dis tress. The wind had blown her uea; from a nook In the rail fence nnd scat tered her bird lings. Lincoln dismounted and the otberr passed on. He picked up the nest, gathered the little brood of nurslings and replaced them, nest and birds, in the place from which they had been blown. "What have you been doing. Abe?" Inquired one of the lawyers, when Lincoln caught up with the party. The latter answered nothing. But there happened to be a witness of ttoe Incident who told It In after years. A little thing? In the dictionary of Goodness there are no little things! Even la God's great program there is care for the sparrows. The Father of us all watches over the birds, and not one of them falls to the ground unnoted. . The Great Goodness that directs the vast machinery of the universe does not consider the fall of a sparrow a little thing. And so that Philadelphia sailor, when he rescued the poor bird, and Abraham Lincoln, when be picked up the little robins, was doing a godlike thing. Why did the people cbeer Dayton? Because in this common sailor they aw something great and good something of the humanity that was In Lincoln, something of the divinity that was In Christ HAY FEVER! Don't suffer this season. .

TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Soulfulness. My soul grew Bad one gloomy day, And fretted' through the night It clothed itself in shadows gray. And shunned the golden light It trod the great eternal strand. Where time's vast billows beat; And saw life's aspirations grand In wreckage at its feet My soul fared forth on fragile bark; Where mists their pallor fling. And paused a little while to mark The songs that Elrens sing. It struggled 'gainst the waves and beat Against the rocks so gray, And longed for nothingness complete; Yet waa compelled to stay. My doctor then I went to 8e. And I told what I endured. A liver pill he handed me - And, lo, my soul was cured! Not Encouraged. "So they brought in a dark horse at the convention."
