Senator Chauncey Depew, who is now rusticating in London, has given out an Interview for publication concerning the causts of the recent depression in Amer- fean milway and industrial securities and the consequent contraction of eredits i the American metropolis. Dr. Depew has diagnosed the case ad a natural séquence “of the struggle bstween the good and the bad among our corporate investments with the survival of the fittest.” This may be a correct version, but the great medicine man of the Vander- bilt trthe appears to have no apprecia- tion of the tremendous strain the finan- clal fabric is undergoing in the effort to survive, nor does he venture to pro- seribe any remedy. An eminent writer on American finance declares that “the prevalling conditions in this country are analogous to those which led to the de- pression abroad and egpecially in Ger many three or four years ago. Great industrial entérprises on a fietitions capitalization were created. Promfinent banks were influenced to give these their countenance and support. When the crash came financial institutions found themselves loaded with undi- gested and Indigestible securities. Money was not to be had—the publle was not eager to buy and the hardest kind of bard times in Germany ensued.” How much money has been sunk in the recent strain for the survival of the fittest is incalculable. The shrinkage In United States Steel and kindred indus- trial securities foots up Into an appalling nggregate, and the water wrung out of raflway stocks approximates mamy hun- dreds of millions. How far the contrae tion in over-valued securities will ultl mately affect trust tompanies and sav- ings institutions which hold several bil- lions of these depreciated stocks and bonds am collateral for loans and Invest- mente of depositors is problematic, That these tremendous losses could have been averted no well informed person cun truthfully gainsay. Everybody convers- ant with the methods of trust promotion and the capitalization of these gigantie corporate combinations.must have real- ized that however prosperous the coun- try might be, there must sooneér or later come a time when the securities floated by these concerns would hecome a men- ace to financlal stabllity and tend to precipitate rulnous money panics, bring- ing to a ¢risls the inevitable struggle for the survival of the fittest. If the dlsastrous consequencesr of periodic finaneinl disturbances caused by over-capitalization were confined to trust magnates, trust promoters and speculators in capitalized wind the coun- try could look on the agomizing struggle for survival with equanimity, but the vietims of speculative over-confidence ‘and credylity are not confined to Wall #treet or New York City. Their natural tendency is to create distrust And shake confidence in all parts of the country and mwxmmop causéd by the stock and bond @Goubtless have caused denression had it not for the extrnordinary commercial 6nd industeial - activity and the vast reservolr of wealth in the shape of erops that keep the channels of tfade in con- stant motion. The present struggle for the survival of the financially Attest foreibly em- phasizes the ifmperative neeessity for publieity and supervision of corporations engaged in Interktate commerce and more especially the enormous aggrega- tions of capital Invested in corpornte form clatsed as trusts. When these con- cerns come under the supervision of the Department of Commerce, just as the national banks of this country are under the supervision of the Treasury depart- ment, and when fictitious capitalization and fraudulent manipulation of these corporations are madeé criminal offences punishable in the same manner as are criminal manipulations of national banks, and when a violatton of the trust regulation laws will subject corpora- tiond to forfeiture of their charters and francbises, the struggle for the survival of the fittest will not be so flerce and deadly. L p————— 4 LABUR LEADER'S CUUNSBL, In his annual réport President Iynch of the International Typographical union éxpresded regret at the tendency on the part of trade unjonists to make light of organisations of ewaployers and questioned whether it ‘would not be better to show a tolerant &pirit toward them In the hope of establishing triend- ship. “Surely,” he wald, “we cannot deny to others the right which we claim ~the right to organize—and it is not aside from the probabilities that through this era of organization may come the era of peace.” Perhaips trade unionists generully will not be disposed to accept this view, et it certalnly embodies n principle which if it shotild be generally recogni could not fail to be conductre to industrial peace. That a more toler- ant spirit, on the part of both em- ployers and trade unionists, is desirable It 18 presumed no one will question. ‘When on either side there is intolerance and a disposition to foster a feeling of antagonism It Is of courss useless to hope for peace or for & falr and rational considerntion of Aifferences. The culti- vation of a tolerant spirit, however, would enable the partles to a contro- versy to discuss it calmly and intelli- gently, and it would ravely happen that such discussion would fall to result In an amicable and satistactory settlement, There can be no queation, of cowme, that employers have the right to organ- Ize, equally with these who labor. Right of orzanisation for a legitimate purpose Is unrestrieted. What employers should seek to do 18 to bring about that friendly feeling between capital and laber with- out which industrial peace js Imposrible. In an address recently before the Em- ployers’ assoclation of Lou'sville a mein- ber of that organization : “Let us see that our workmen get play and our troubles will be lessened. Harving carefully ascertained the facts of any question that may be properly pre- THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: sented to us by our employes, let us, In the spirit of fair play, give it careful consideration. If we find the request @ just and reasonable one-let us not hesitate to grant it. If it is unreason- able, let us just ap promptly and with equal falrness say that we cannot and will not grant ft. If we can present our ranks as one unbroken line for fair play and similar assoclations through- out the country should become imbued with the same spirit, what a power for good will and peace would we be and what an inspiration it would be to all who have these disquieting questions up for consideration. The great Amerl- can people will never countenance un- falrness on the part of any set of men and in this great question the side that faills to come to the front with every mark of fair treatment for its opponent cannot hope for publi¢ approval” Herein is expressed that tolerant spirit which the president of the Inter national Typographical union had In mind and"who can doubt the wisdom of cultivating this spifit on the part of both organized employers and organized labor. Sfeee—m—— MILES ON DISAKMAMENT. On the day of his retirement General Miles said in an interview that partial disarmament of the nations of the( world is possible today, practicable and most desirable. He thought the United States should take the initiative and suggest an international congress to meet at Washington at which an agree- ment would be drawn up by the mlil- tary leaders of the world, and duly ad- hered to by each government repro- segted, providing that the strength of thelir respective armies should be based on population, that each nation should maintain an army with a maximum strength of onie to every 1,000 of popu- lation and a minimum of ohe to every 2,000. He sald that in this way the relative power of each can be preserved, its people relleved of an unnecessarily hedvy burden of taxation, its army In- creéased in efficlency and its govern- ment, its libertles and its institutions strengthened and .made firm. Genernl Miles expressed the belief that this would make for the pence of the world and probably in this he was correct, though there are many who hold the view that great armies and formidable navies are conducive to the preservation. The trouble in regard to this matter is that no nation Is willing to tike the Initlative in reducing arma- ment. When the question was before the British House of Commons a short time ago Prime Minister Balfour said that the government was not unfavor- able to disarmament, but felt that Great Britaln showld not take the inftiative. Were the United States to do so and suggest an international con- gress to consider the subject and pro- pose an agresment it 18 doubtful if there would be Any practical result. However desirable disarmament may e, it is quite certain that none of the great powers is yet ready for it. e v RUSSIA'S PREPARATIONS. The report that Russia Intends to largely increase her military forces in the far east, although coming from an BEnglish sourde, 18 by no means incredi- ble. It appears to be the most natural thing' possible for Russia to do under the clrcumstances and knowing that Japan I8 getting ready for a conflict ‘Wwhich her statesmen and people seem to regurd as inevitable. A few weeks ago it was stated in St Petersburg Qispatches that while Russia bad no de- glre for war yot she was preparing for the most serious possibilities. It wae apprebension of a crisls, the report stated, that caused the Russlan minis- ter of war to be sent to Manchuria aud it is the outcome of Lis investign- tions that steps are being taken to meet the worst contingencies. These, it was declared, are purely precaution- ary and not Aggressive, the hope being that when Japan realized that Russia 18 fully prepared she will be convinced of the danger she will incur from pur- suing a hostile course, Russlan. officlals are represented as having a rather poor opinlon of Japan from a military point of view. They are credited with saying that Japan could not put into the fleld more than 400,000 men, not nearly all of whom could bo spared for foreign servico, as a large force would be necessary to protect the Japanese senboard. More- over, she would need trom four to six weeks to place an army in Corea, while Russia already has 110,000 troops im- mediately available for operations agalnst Japan and could within a month doyble this number. In .the mattor of naval power Japan is equal and per- haps superior to Russia in the far east and it is quite probable that on the sea the initial advantages would be with Japan. One thing is certain, that shouid war come Russla would find the task of whipping Japan by no means so ensy as some of her officials profess to think it would be. The Jnpanese ere sald to be in perfect fighting trim and to have the utmost confidence In their abllity to win in & war with Rus- sia. An Awerican who recently re- turned from the Orient and who speat some time Iy Japan, says: “Japan will never be content untll she gets Port Asthur back. She is willing to risk her national existence to take Port Arthur away from the Russlans. The Japanese will fight llke devils. They will have all the advantage of transport and of a well organized commissary.” There is no question as to the fighting quglities of the Japanese. They have courage and fortitude and the army is well dis- eiplined. Of the soldiers who were sont to Peking by the powers at the time of the Boxer disturbavce those of Japan were commended as among the very best. On the sea there fs mo douht that the Japanese are able to cope with not Wod to be imminent, but If it be a fact that Russia is making the military preparations reported and should fall to earry out the assurances she has given in regard to Manchurie, a conflict with Japan could hardly be averted. The latest report from St Petersburg, if it should be confirmed, must have a disquieting effect and greatly incremse the seriousness of thé situation. eap—— WHATOAN BE DONE FUR RUSSIAN JEWS Although the Kishineff massacre has passed into history and the incident of the Jewish petition seems to be closed, people interested in what is known as the Jewish question are still seeking for a more satisfactory solution and a better assurance that this race persecu- tion in continental- countries will be ef- fectually repressed. It 18 pointed omt that the Kishinefl massacre and other anti-Jewish outbreaks within both Slavie and non-Slavic countrles Jis the out- growth of local conditions which must be in gpome mantier relieved, but which are not likely to be relieved until the cause of the persecuted Jews is made a matter of international representation. In a well written articlé contributed by Arnold White to the current National Review, summarizing the course of antl- Semiticism during the last century and fts culmination in the recent Jewish horror, the author concludes that the only way out is to be found In a confer- ence participated in by Great Britain, Russla and the United States for the purpose of agreeing on a general policy to be pursued harmoniously by all three of these great nations, which are mainly directly interested, and the recommen- dation of a plan that will conform to the dietates of humanity. The object of such a conference as defined by Mr. ‘White would be, primarily, an examina- tion into the conditions underlying the Jewish persecutions from an impartial standpoint rather than from a stand- point in subordination to national in- terests. Its first effect, he believes, ‘would be “to show that however brutal, wicked and indefensible is the conduct of Russin, she has a cash the strength of which s not at present understood in the Ruglish speaking countries,” while the second effect would be to show “that however difficult and com- plex is the problem, its postponement 18 dangérous to the peace of the world, but that its settlement is practicable if the three nations chiefly concerned will stand together and work together on lines of humanity and justice.” The advantage of such a conference, Mr. White contends, would be the ad- mission by Russia that the question 1s & matter of internatioual and not local or domestic concern and the stimulation of an Interest throughout the civilized world, which would prevent the matter being again shelved before a solution has been found. Mr. White's belief is that the only way to ameliorate the con- dition of the Jews in Russia and to ar- rest safely their immigration nto Great Britain and’ the United States, 18 by | permanently improving their lot through the provision of more land, the exten- sion of boundaries, the equipment of dgricultural colonfes and allotment of adequate territory within or adjacent to the dominlons of the czar. The trags- portation of any considerable portion of the Jewish population of any coun- try to Palestine or SBouth America, or any other distant unoccupled territory, has proved to be absolutely impractica- ble because the Jews do not understand eolonization, are not attracted to remote homes and could not be compelled to wholesale Immdgration ‘even if the nec- essary funds were provided. 3 The suggestion of an international conferance on the Jewish question was incorporated into the resolutions adopted by the American B'nal B'rith out of which the Jewish-petition grew, but the position taken by the Russinn government with reference to this peti- tion makes it doubtful diplomacy for the United States to undertake to in- itlate the proposal for such a confer- ence. If it is to materialize in the near future the invitation will have to come from Great Britain, unless the czar should feel moved to initiate it himself. It must be admitted even by those who are most hopeful for international ac- tion, that the prospect, although brighter than it has been, is not promising of immediate results. International action, however, is the direction toward which efforts must be made and there i# reason to hope that the goal will be reached without cting the Jewish miser- les many years. epEmt——— And now the University of Illinols is offering courses of instruction lead- ing up to traiming for the insurance business, with a view to launching some of the gradugtes as insurance solicitors. Wil this not be destructive of the prevailing idea that the art of insurance solicitation required no pre- Hminary education and that every business misfit and dislodged office- holder had the making of a successful insurance agent io him? If the col- leges absorb the insurance fleld for thelr annual output of youthful prodi- glos, what will be left for the ordi- nary mortal who happens to find him- self temporarily without a jeb? Wil they have nothing to do but work? e Prospects are good that several pleces of handiwork of the late Ne- braska legislature supposed to have Just gone Into effect as contributions to the statute book will have to run the gauntlet of the courts before they will reach the stage of workable operation.

If there were a typographical union made up almost ex- clusively of wamen, would It send « man delegate to represent it at the sessions of the International body? This last question doubtless furnishes the key to the wonderment the woman delegate has excited. ge! any negro accused of crime will get away from prosecution in any part of the south or that any black criminal will escape the penaity of his erime if he is not lynched on the spot. On the contrhry, the very fact that he I8 a negro insures convie- tion and punishment if there is a scintilla of evidence against him. The south ought to be the last plave in the country for mob violence If its purpose is to prevent the law from being cheated.

Semmetya——— No political capital is to be made by the democratic organs by pointing to the fact that most of the republican state officlals have induiged themselves with brief summer vacations.

We sold the Russlans during the year ended June %0, 1908, ble the value of goods sold to them two years ago and 50 per cent more than they bought of us In 192, and there i every prospect of a continually enlarging trade.

For Leo' the motto is ignis ardens—a * The flames in Cardinal Gottl's coat of arms made him a favorite with one party, whereas another applied the forecast to Cardinal Svampa, since vampa is the Ital- fan word for flame.
