By the appolutment by Governor Shallenberger of Thomas J. Majors to be a member of the new State Normal board a duty is devolved upon Attor- ney General Thompson which he should mot shirk. The selection of a state senator for this position is in flagrant deflance of the constitution, to say nothing of violating one of its most salutary provisions. Section 13 of article 1il of the constitution of Ne- braska reads as follows: No person elected to the legislature shall recelve any civil appointment within this ate from the governor and senate during the term for which he has been elected And all such appointments and all votes given for any such member or any such appointment shall be vold. No one will question that a place on the State Normal board s a civil ap- pointment. The appointment is made by the governor and confirmed by the senate. The appointment is made during the term for which Mr. Majors had been elected a member of the sen- ate, and he both before and after the appointment continued to act as a member of the state senate. The bill legislating the old Board of Education out of office and creating a new normal board was In reality Senator Major's bill. It was put through the legisla- ture by his efforts and his appointment as a republican by & democratic gov- ernor was in recognition of services rendered to the democrats in helping them to put through their bills. 1t this appointment of a member of the legislature to a clvil office at the | hands of the state executive is allowed to stand it will be but the forerunner | of the payment of other debts by the appointment of other members of the legislature to other lucrative offices. It will set the precedent for future governors to buy legislative support for all sorte of measures by promising appointive jobs to senators and rep- resentatives. This is precisely what the framers of our constitution had in mind when they Inserted in that docu- ment the prohibition of such appoint- ments. Attorney General Thompeon should without delay institute quo warranto proceedings against Thomas J. Majors 8 member of the new State Normal board and let the court say whether the constitution of Nebraska still lives. Grateful Italy. The reception of former President Roosevelt at Naples cannot but be pleasing not only to himself, but to the people of the United States. The greeting -extended him cannot be interpreted in any other way than a double one. To the man Roosevelt the people of the Itallan city simply gave expression for the nation. As a man his character is un- doubtedly admired, but to Roosevelt, honored as president of a nation which has offered a congenial home to so many of the Italian people, and which answered so promptly and generously the call from stricken Sielly, an equal tribute was given. Personally, Mr. Roosevelt, in his capacity as president, had no small part in the Tesponse to the appeal of {a suffering people, a response wel- come as much for its promptness as for its magnitude. It was the first practical helping hand reached out to them from beyond the border lines of their own country and of such gen- erous proportions as to light the lamp of hope again in the desolated homes. The Itallans are not a people to for- get such an act. Early Vote on the Tariff. The house will vote on the tariff bill Friday of this week. That has been decreed by the committee on rules. This is in line with the recom- mendation ot President Taft that con- gress proceed with dispatch to trans- act the business for which it was called, and adjourn at the earliest possible moment. The tariff is pri- marily a business proposition, and un- till the tariff bill is finally disposed of business of all kinds must necessarily hait and be done on & hand-to-mouth basis. Until the new schedules are de- termined no large enterprises looking to the future can safely be under- taken, so intimately are the protected and unprotected industries of the country related. With the exercise of the utmost diligence the time con- sumed in passing a tariff law is con- siderable without counting the months of uncertainty which preceded the actual convening of the session. This is the answer to those who deprecate haste and charge that the bill is being put through under whip and spur without sufficlent time al lowed to debate its provisions. No one knows better than those in congress who are making this charge how hol- low it is.» The speeches in congress on the tariff are not intended, nor ex- pected, to influence the determination of a single schedule. They are simply | for the consumption of the constitu- encies of the congressmen who make them and for use in subsequent cam- paigni bill has been and is being done in the committees of the house and senate, and these committees are utilizing the information gathered by months of in- quiry and the knowledge of past ex- perience in tariff legislation and the | operation of previous measures.

By so doing the entire matter can be settled congress adjourn and the business of the country readjust itself to the new conditions before the seascu of fall ac- tivities ‘shall set in. mittee has been busily working on the measure and no great delay in report- ing it to that body is anticipated.

No one knows when the next one of us may be called. Ex-Governor Poynter answered the final summons while making an appeal to Governor Shallenberger Iin behalf of a legislative measure awaiting his approval. Just suppose conditions had been reversed and instead of the ex-gov- ernor, the governor had been the one to succumb to the fatal stroke. It Governor Shallenberger should die the duties of chief executive would immediately pass to Lieutenant Gov- ernor Hopewell—from a democrat to a republican. Such a calamity, which, of course, we hope may not occur, would transfer control of all the patronage vested by the late legislature in the governor, so that the offices they were so careful to create would be filled by republicans instead of democrats. All the trouble the legislature went to to take the appointive power away from other state officers and state boards now controlled by republicans and vest them exclusively in the gov- ernor simply because he happens to be a democrat would be in vain. Even the advertising pap In the publication of constitutional amend- ments which the peanut lawmakers took away from the republican secre- tary of state and gave to the demo- cratic governor would fail to reach its destination and would go back to re- publican newspapers instead of to democratic quill drivers. The very thought that it might have been Governor Shallenberger instead of ex-Governor Poynter must come near giving a lot of democratic ple- biters heart fallyre themselves. Repressing Speculation. The committee appointed by Gov- ernor Hughes of New York to investi- gate the various stock exchanges of the metropolis and report on the abuses, if any, has completed its in- vestigations and is now engaged in formulating its report. The person- nel of the commission is such as to give to its findings the stamp of author- ity. It is composed of men noted both for thelr ability in academic research and for large and practical business experience in a large way. While the report has not been formulated, it is glven out that the commissién has ar- rived at some definite conclusions which will be at variance with the opinions of many who have made only a superficial study of the questions in- volved. Notable along this line is the statement that dealing in futures is not harmful to either the prodacer or consumer, but, on the other hand, is actually beneficial, simply having an evening process in distributing the hazard of the seasons and the mar- kets. In making this statement the com- mission is careful to differentiate be- tween legitimate dealing in futures and gambling pure and simple. Re- garding this there can be no two opin- jons. Concerning the report a finan- clal agency, from direct information, makes the following statement: The subject of short selling and dealings in futures will be discussed extensively, says the report, and It Is understood to be the conclusion of the commission that the abolition of these methods of speculation would be injurfous to the best interests of business. An effort will be made to set forth the reasons for this conclusion as clearly and as simply as possible for the education of the public and to show that the public clamor for reform in these fea- tures is not based on sound principles. The gambling spirit in Wall street will be deprecated, but it will be conceded that no law can altogether eradicate it. It is prob- able that some measures will be advocated to do away with wash sales and match or- ders, although In just what manner the commission will treat this subject cannot be learned. If the commission can devise some method which will eliminate the gambling feature incident to manipu- lated markets it will have accom- plished a great service to the country. Scarcely I helpful would be a clear and conclusive definition of legitimate dealings in futures, based on produc- tion yet to come or deliveries yet to | be made, ag contrasted with gambling deals that ought to be suppressed. Woes of the Man With Money. It is distressing to be broke. If you don’t believe it, ask Andrew Carnegie since he gave aw his fortune to avoid the possibility of dying rich. But the man who is broke has no monopoly of the woes of this life It you have the millions of a Rocke- feller, W. J. Bryan will not let the col- leges take your money because it is tainted. If you are a rich widow like Hetty Green and accumulate a fortune by saving habits, you can only contem- plate someone walting for you to die that they may spend it. If you are a J. Plerpont Morgan, you are a pluto- crat and an enemy of society. If you Invest your money in gold bricks you are a sucker, and if you blow it in you are a spendthrift. If after accumu- lating & fortune you continue to work, | you are depriving a poor man who | needs it of the chance of getting your good job, and if you take life easy you |are living off unearned increment and are a useless appendage on the earth. 1t you put your savings in a tin can some thief will come along and steal it, and it you place it in the kitchen range your wife may light the fire while you are taking your morning siesta and it will go up in smoke. If you decide to put your savings in @ bank the trouble does not end here, for the New York bankers are discuss- ing the advisability of charging depos- itors §$1 per month for earing for their accounts. At that rate In elev months the man with a $10 deposit would owe the bank a dol doesn’t seem to be any other escape from it except to go to Africa with Roosevelt, let the tsetse fly bite you and go to sleep. Former Cotton King Sully evolved a plan to create a string of bonded warehouses throughout the south for storing the cotton crop and |enabling the growers instead of the speculators to carry it until the product is demanded by the trade. Tt is an enormous undertaking, but one thing is certain, the cotton-growing section cannot reach the maximum of its prosperity until the grower by some means or other is enabled to market his crop when the demand for it for consumption makes favorable prices. 1t the entry list for police commis- sioner in Omaha is any sign of what may be expected from removing the party labels and putting all candidates up to the voters at the polls, try to figure out what may be expected this fall when three supreme judgeships, carrying salaries of $4,5600 aplece, are to be thrown into the pot, with nearly every lawyer in the whole state of Ne- braska eligible to sit in the game. Mr. Bryan has gone down to Texas to tell the democrats of the Lone Star state that they are bound by the Den- ver platform to put a state deposit guaranty law on their statute books. Mr. Bryan doubtless thinks that his purchase of a farm In Texas gives him the same right to dictate legislation there that he has undertaken to exer- cise In Nebraska South Omaha proposes by ordinance to require its chief of police to be per- sonally present when that dog-pound master executes the unclaimed dogs that are taken up.

Philadelphia Record The war stamp tax on tobacco has disappeared long since, and there is now & question of its revival. When the tax was in force the packages were reduced in weight by ounces in order that the tax might not fall on the manufacturer. When the tax was repealed the welght of the packages,remained the same. Should the tax be revived the packages will have to undergo another reduction. Where Consumers Lose Out. Cincinnatl Enquirer. Funny that no one ever slips a *“joker” into legislative bills to favor the ultimate consumer? Here we have been smoking short-welght tobacco since 102 because of a joker and $165,000000 of our money has been nabbed by the friends of the joker. 1t is to be hoped that the congress will make the joker smoke for joking the smoking public. It's no joke to smoke a smoker which ylelds an undue profit through & joker. This is especlally true when it appears Lhat the joker was not inserted as a joke. g THE EX-PEERLESS ONE, Ominons Signs of Revolt Losing Leadership.

Two hours after this mighty monarch surrendered the crown he had to ring twice for a footman. It may be asked, What has all this got to do with the Peer- less One? It has plenty to do with him Here are the democratic “insurgents” of the SIxiy-first congress, who saved the day for Uncle Cannon, asseverating and testifying that their actlon was only “a revolt against Mr. Bryan."

Conditions about the city were such that traffic was serfously Impeded.

Incoming trains were de- layed because the signals were not easily discernible through the misi L trains wera slow from the same reasons, and even street traffic suffered. €0 great has become the increase in pas- senger traffic over the various transpor- tation lines of this city that statisticlans estimate that at the present time more than 3,500,000 people are transported daily. This enormous traffic has overtaxed facilities of transportation, though tem- porary rellef was obtained by the construc- tion of the SBubway. The population of Manhattan and Bronx s nearly 50 per cent greater and their area less than 2 per cent of that of the other three boroughs combined, and yet a person can travel over ten miles of road In Manhattan and the Bronx in less than half the time spent in traveling the same distance through any other section of the city, and of the 3,500,000 people trans- ported dally throughout the entire clty 2,000.000 are carried by the rallways oper- ating in the boroughs of Manhattan and | the Bronx. the “It is startling to read ment of the Public says the Brooklyn Eagl of the traction companies and-the Bronx, which at the time of the merger with the Interborough, were claimed to be $150,000,000, are now fixed under ‘the receivers, at $19,684,078.
