As it was an eating and not a drinking bun, the moral is obviou Edward Payson Weston is still breaking records. He is not walking more miles thar usual, but is gather- ing more mud on the way The reports that the rates for upper berths in Pullmans are to be reduced is one of the things that comes under the head of “important, if true.’ A New York judge has just decided that th'e husband is not the sole lord and master of his house. That judge must have been recently married. Nat Goodwin says that his success is due to the observance of a number of rules. One of them doubtless is to never marry but one wife at a time.

This seems to emphasize his at- titude toward administrations, as he has stubbornly refused to play tennis. A Minneapolis professor claims he can produce $100 worth of by-products out of every ton of wood used for mak- ing pulp. The Paper trust beat him to thal discovery. A Cut in Grain Rate The trunk lines have finally bee forced to take action to save to them- selvec some goodly share of the grain | trade captured largely by the dian lines through failure the American roads to meet the water | transportation rates offered from Du luth to the port at Montreal. Last | year more than 8,000,000 bushels of wheat went from Montreal (o England while Very little was sent from New York and other Atlantic ports. Com- | pelled to see the blindness of their old policy, the railroads have agreed | to reduce the rate from Buffalo to New | York, Boston and Baltimore from 6% |to 4 cents a bushels. It is practically certain that this action will lead to still further reduc- tions in grain rates, resulting ultl- mately to the benefit of the growers The most natural resuit of the cut by the trunk lines will be a further re- | duction on rates to the Montreal port | Montreal will be slow to abandon ! what it gained when the White Star |line withdrew its freight steamers | from New York and turned them to the Canadian port. The Canadian rail and water lines are operating in per- fect harmony and have a distinct ad- vantage over the transportation com- panies in this country. The Canadians already have two railroads running from ocean to ocean and the Grand Trunk is now rushing its Pacific coast extension up through the Nehaco val- ley country to a Pacific coast terminus. With the completion of this equipment Canada will be in a position practically | to dictate transcontinental rates on grain, live stock and all commodities raised in the fertiie states of the north and northwest. The combination of rail and water rates will practically eliminate the item of distance and compel the all-rail lines of this coun- try to meet the rate competition The significance of the situation is appreciated by the American rail- roads, as shown by their efforts to meet the Canadian competition, and the benefits must eventually accrue to the producers, who most deserve it. Cana- of Italian Relief Fund Scandal. It is to be hoped that there is much exaggeration in the charges made by the staid and conservative London Times of gross neglect and misman- agement in the distribution of the funds contributed by all the civilized nations of the world for the relief of the victims of the earthquake disaster in Messina. It is asserted that fully nine-tenths of the money contributed is being held by the general commit- tee for the future aid of the survivors and their dependents and that press- ing needs as a direct result of the dis- aster are being ignored. People all over the world gave lib- | erally when the news of the Italian disaster came and millions of dollars in money and goods were hurried to the relfef of the sufferers. Therd was | no question among the donors and no distinction drawn as to the manner in which the help was to be afforded. | Thousands were in want and the| world wanted to assist them. The | Times now charges that many ruins supposed to contain survivors were left untouched for weeks and that | some of the villages remote from the {center of the quake district were {ignored and not even visited for two | months. It is claimed that the bodies of 60,000 victims are yet to be re ered from the ruins. Under such conditions it would ap- | pear to be a case of gross incompe- tence and downright cruelty to with- hold nine-tenths of the relief funds | for the aid of survivors who will be hard pressed until their crops are planted and the harvest assured. The charge is supported in a measure by the refusal to permit the corre- spondent of the London Timés to send to his paper many of the facts, even | those that were contained ‘in the offi- cial reports of the Itallan government, The thousands of warm-hearted people throughout the world who gave liberally to the relief of stricken Italy are entitled to a more satisfactory | accounting than this. If the Ttalian | government can explain the charges away it will make the donors feel bel ter. rov- —_— $till Harping on the Dam. Some editorial and political critics | refuse to accept the verdict of the best civil engineers in the world in ap-| proval of the plans finally adopted for | the comstruction of the lock canal at Panama. When the toe of the big Gatun dam showed symptoms of rest- lessness a few months ago, M. Bunau- Varilla, Poultney Bigelow and quite a following of editorial experts declared | that the entire enterprise would end | in disaster unless the type of the canal | were changed to the sea level plan. | Mr. Taft, then president-elect, went to | | the isthmus with a corps of engineers {and, after a most painstaking investi- | gation, fully approved the lock design | and instructed Colonel Goethals, army | engineer in charge, to proceed with | the work | A few days ago the grading on the | dam had Another sinking spell and now all the anti-lock plan advocates are renewing the prophecies of disas- ter. The expert engineers’ have ex- plained that this material may be ex- pected to sink from time to time for | some years, but that there is absolutely | no danger to the canal from that cause. Colonel Goethals, who has just re- turned to Panama from Washington, insists that the lock plan is the only feusible one, as “it can be constructed in less time, at less cost, will give easler and safer navigation, and in addition secure such a control of the Cha, river to make a friend and ald of what remains a menace in the | sea level type.” | Colonel Goethals | | is an drmy en THE OMAHA with his reputation at stake and he can have no purpose except to build the best practicable canal " he completes successfully this canal it will perpetuate his name as one of the world’'s greatest engineers. It his plans fail his professional reputation will be gone. With every motive for seeking facts, his judgment should far outwelgh that of men whose knowl- edge of the subject and motives for carrying on a laborious and somewhat expensive agitation against the present plans are alike uncertain Call Them Off. It is publiely announced that the so- liciting committees engaged in raising money for the proposed new building for the Child’s Saving institute are ar- ranging to make a campalgn in the public schools for a contribution of 10 cents from each child. The 8chool board should call this campaign off at once There is no good reason why should permit the public schools to be used as a money-raising mechanism for any soliciting committee, whether for public or private purposes. There is no more reason why the children in the schools should be drummed into contributing 10 cents apiece to the Child’'s Saving institute than to the Young Men’s Christian association, the Clarkson hospital or the Catholic cathedral The Child’s Saving institute is con- ceded to be a worthy charity, but its promoters should get the money needed to build its new home from those able and willing to contribute without levying a head tax on the school children we His Chance. A# a general rule, we aiready have too many laws encumbering our statute books——many are good, some imperfoct, a few bad. The good should be let alone, the imperfections cured, the bad repealed What is needed, in my judgment, is an honest and fearless enforcement of the laws that we now have rather than a constant cure for new laws and new laws as an for inaction and delay.-- Governor Shallenberger in Inaugural Mes- sage. Governor Shallenberger now has his chance to put precept into practice. The legislature is about to adjourn, leaving him piled mountain high with bills on nearly every subject under the sun on which he is privileged to exer- cise an unconditional veto. It is a safe assertion that the people of Nebraska would be better off if one- half of these bills never became law. Governor Shallenberger could make a unique record by taking advantage of his opportunity to refuse executive ap- proval to every bill for which there is not a real, positive demand, or some valid substantial reason. If a bill presented to him does not fit the form he has himself prescribed, if it does not repeal a bad law or cure existing imperfections, or give relief to sgme actual injustice, no harm would be done and much good would be accomplished by a fearless assertion on the part of the governor of his co- ordinate authority in legislation. As intimated by the governor at the out- set, e are far more likely to suffer from too many laws than from too few laws. excuse There must be another joker in the glove tariff. If women cannot buy new gloves they will have to clean the old ones, for which purposes benzine and gasolene are used. The Standard 0Oil has a monopoly on the benzine and gasolene output, and the tariff on gloves means more business for the Standard Oil. In one of his lucid dissertations on finance Alfred Henry Lewis says that the national banks in Nebraska are already suffering severely from the effects of the deposit guaranty law. Mr. Lewis should wake up. The Ne- | braska deposit guaranty law does not | become operative until next July.
