No Coal Strike, The leaders of the anthracite coal miners are to be congratulated in hav- Ing refused to precipitate a strike at this time. Théy have voted to con- tinue work, pending negotiations for a readjustment of terms with the mine operators to take the place of the three-year agreement, which expires on April 1. The deecision 18 a victory for the anthracite workers over the leaders of the United Mine Workers' assoclation, who are dominated by the forces working In the bituminous mineés, where conditions are radically differént from those prevailing in the anthracite regions. A réadjustment of the working agreement should be possible without serious difficulty if the miners can ad- vance good reasons for a change. The mine operators have positively refused to deal with the miners as members of the United Mine Workers' assocla- tion, but express a willingness to deal with unions of their own men. This reduces the difference on that point to & technicality and the miners are wise in declaring that the recognition of their general union is not the most im- portant question involved in the con- troversy. The remaining questions relate entirely to wages, hours and methods of weighing, all of which should be settled without resort to a strike. The proposed appeal by the miners to President Taft seems to be prema- ture. The precedent established in that direction by President Roosevelt in 1902 was based on conditions which do not now exist. The country wa then facing a coal famine and the en- tire country was demanding relief from the intolerable conditions which had resulted from a prolonged coal strike. At the present time the miners are working under an agreement made at the instance of the commission ap- pointed by President Roosevelt. Presi- dent Taft could hardly interfere ex- cept as a last resort and then only to appoint another commission to inves- tigate conditions and perhaps act as an arbitration board. If the mine operators should refuse to deal with such a board there is as yet no public pressure to influence them to do #o as there was in the 1902 strike. The miners and the operators, the parties directly interested, should settle the differences between them- ves. Democrats East and South. The row in the democratic ranks in the lower house of congress is being accepted in democratic circles as the beginning of the end of the present control of the party, and plans are aiready belng made for a battle royal to reorganize the party machinery be- fore the next presidential contest. In- dieations point to a realignment of the democratic factions, with the east and south united against further domiha- tion by the Bryanistic wing of the or- ganization. This is being fore- shadowed not only by the attitude of thy eastern democrats, who have al- ways been hostile, or at least luke- warm, to Bryan, and by the marked defection of the democratic léaders of the south who have heretofore allied themselves with the Bryan followers in the west and thus controlled the na- tional machinery of the party. It requires no political sage to rea- Jize that the democrats cam not win in a national campaign without carry- ing a number of eastern states. Mr. Bryan has tried three times with sup- port from the south and west, but has been unable to deliver the goods, to make any decent showing in the east. Mr. Cleveland won twice by a comhi- nation of the south and east. Judge Parker lost, largely because he had a tollowing in the east Which was wholly objectionable to the rank and file of his own party. Mr. Bryan and the democrats of the east are facing in different directions on every public ls- sue and the south is said to be weary of trying to face both ways. The south is' showing pronounced symptoms of breaking away from Bryanism for good and all. The fight on the tariff bill has aroused the south to the need of protection for its industries and even Pennsylvania is no ‘more lusty in calls for protection than are some of the southern states. Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro- lina and Florida have joined in send- ing delegations to Washington to pro- test against reduction of the Dingley duties on cotton fabrics. Mississippi and Louisiapa are clamoring for re- tention of the duty on sugar and rice. Texas wants the duty onm wool and hides kept and Alabama and Tennes- see want the iron ore industries pro- tected. Practically every southern state has broken away from the free trade theories of the Bryanitgs and is working for the measure of protection deemed necessary to encourage and develop its special Industries. The Charlestown News and Courier, while opposed to Bryan, is still true to the old traditions of the party on the taritf and offers this word of warn- ing: The danger is that the vociferation of the grou of southern men representing Industri important in themselves, but deserving small consideration in relation 1o the great body of southern men and women who must be fed and clothed will drive or frighten democratic con- gressmen from their first duty to their constituents. Unless the southern demo- crats in congress stand to their guns in spite of the clamor of some of their con stituents. the democratic party in the south will break up in disorder long be- fore President THft's benlgn southern policy of common sense and conciliation shall seriously threaten to effect that re- sult Industrialism is getting to be as widely diffused below the old slavery demarcation line, as on that line's northern side and the south is accord- ingly viewing the tariff from a new angle, The conflicting viewpoints | with $33,141,601 for January, THE OMAHA DAILY BEFE have started a demooratic war in con- gress and its certain spread promises either reorganisation or dissolution of the party before 1912 | Former Chancellor Canfield.

His work raised the institution up to the point where it no longer needed the props of pre- paratéry departments and laid out the field into which it has since been ex- panded. While in scholarship Dr. Canfield may not have ranked with some of our other chancellors, for energy, persist- ence and practical management he stood unequaled. His contribution to the University of Nebraska could best be characterized as that of an educa- tional organizer and popularizer, and it came in just at the time it was ab- solutely needed for the future of the institution. Not only those who studied at the university during his chancellorship, but also those who shall study there ever after, will be the beneficiaries of what he did and should pay tribute to his memory. Improving Railroad Earnings. Detailed reports of the earnings of the raliroads for January and for the fiscal year to date show a marked in- crease over the business for the cor- responding period of last year, and later estimates, covering Februa and March, indicate a degree of Im- provement, that is admittedly satisfac- tory. The compilations have been made by the New York Financlal Re- yview from the reports of rallroads to the Interstate Commerce commission. The figures have the advantage of uniformity of method and classifica- tion as the companies are required by law to make their returns on the same business and in the same way. As a re- gult, the figures are clearly compar- able and the totals have a significance impossible to obtaln under the old sys- tem of reports. Reports covering about 230,000 miles of railroads, practically all the big systems being included, show gross earnings for January of the present year to have been $146,197.- 828, compared with $138,276,186 for January, 1908, The earnings were dis- tributed as follows: Freight, $101.- 430,868, as against $94,452,128, in Januapy, 1908; passenger, $32,717,- 481, as agains® $31,945,992; other transportation revenue, $10,685,728, against $10,332,130; nontransporta- tion revenue, $1,463,756, against $1,- 555,935. This represents a gross reve- compared with $841.40 for January of last year. While the gross earnings for Janu- ary, 1909 were about $8,000,000 bet- ter than a year ago, there was but slight change in the operating expen- ses of the roads, these amounting to $105,705,687 for Janua last, ai against $105,288,919 for January, a vear ago. The Increase was almost entirely in the items of maintenance of way and maintenance of equipment. The total net:earnings for January, 1909, were $40,382.232, compared 1908. The figures furnish convincing proof of the steady return to normal business conditions. While the rail- roads suffered heavily in the early months of the panic, which began in the fall of 1907, they are now sharing tully in the general improvement. Municipal Consolidation. The movement for the ‘merger of St. Paul and Minneapnlis under one mu- nicipal government has reached the stage in wWhich a commission has been created by legislative enactment to draw up a plan of consolidation of the Twin cities. If 8t. Paul and Minne- apolls should be made one the com- bined city will immediately take rank among the top-notchers with a popula- tion of approximately 500,000, and with corresponding business and social prestige. While it may take some time yet before this municipal merger is perfected, it is certain to eventuate in the comparatively near future. The progress made toward the union of St. Paul and Minneapolis holds up another object lesson for Omaha and South Omaha. Omaha and South Omaha are closer together geograph- ically and have more Interests in com- mon than St. Paul and Minneapolis. They are, and for some time have been in fact, one community, although with 'uo separate city governments. The inevitable merger of Omaha and South Omaha is likewise merely a matter of time, the only question being whether it shall be pushed to completion soon or let drag along indefinitely, while the benefits that would acerue to both are in the interval wasted. Three years ago, although the pri- mary law was the same, the official ballot in the municipal primaries wa: not rotated, whereas this yvear we have a rotated ballot.

One year of nonpartisan business ad- ministration of municipal affairs in Des Molnes created a surplus of $20,000, whereas a deficit of $180,000 had accumulated under the old political regime. It is a simple matter for any city to discover the tribute which it is paying to partisan polities. Nor is the financial saving the full measure of profit in nonpolitical administration. When responsibility is solely to the people, and political Nabllity 18 eliminated, the public service is improved.

U'nder wise lead- ership the party would have marked out Its path weeks In advance of the appear ance of the bill prepared by the ways and means committee. The cold fact is (hat most of the democratic members of conse quence have been sitting around for weeks wondering what they would be able to got out of the republican bill: many of them are still maneuvering with their hands behind them. Under the circum- stances no one was surprised when one democratic member of the ways and means committee voted to report the Payne bill without a single change. Perhaps the dem- ocratic member was justified in casting his vote as he dld, for his party had nothing to offer at that time. Displaying the weak ness it has so frequently displayed congress, the minority had waited until It had learned what the party in power had to propose before glving any thought to what it ought to offer the country, In the | estimation of observers the minorlty party has before it an excellent opportunity to gain favor with the country by opposing | with vigor the extravagances of the federa) government. But, apparently, the pgrty under its present leadership in congress Is not planning to take advantage of the situation. The record of the recent billion | dollar session does not reveal that the minority protested against the enormous appropriations. Certainly it did not protest louder than a whisper. Such criticlsm as there was came from (he republican sena- tors of the LaFollette-Cummins type. One explanation of the situation is that the democrats in public lite, having de- spaired of their own party ever coming back to power nationally, are disposed to hold out their hands_for such “loaves and fishes" as the party in power may hand out to them. Take, for example, the recent fight over the rules of the house. While the minor| made a great mistake In technicalities when it might have taken a stand for a principle, it could have regained some prestige If it stood sol- idly together in the contest. What broke it in two? The “loaves and fishes.” While the public probably never will be permitted to know the details of the deal by which certain members of the minority stood by the republican organization, every ob- server knows that there was a political deal, and that the basis for it was in part the tariff bill. Under wise, aggressive lead- ership the minority would not have split Privately, democrats who refused to stand by Leader Clark say they chosg the course they followed because they had no confi- dence in their own party leadership.

The fact is that the democratic party, as it I8 represented in the congress, standing for anything toda: quarters the hope Is expressed that the debate on the tariff bill may, develop a leader- but men who know the personnel In senate and house pretty well are not optimistic on this point. Indeed, it some | man should display qualities of genuine leadership it is doubtful if he could gather up a following of any consequence. Charles A.
