[ — Reassurance for Japan, As honor guests at a banquet at the Annapolis Naval academy, President Taft and Admiral Uriu of Japan had occasion to speak each as the official representative of his government, so that their expressions are entitled to more weight even than if given in- formally. President Taft makes it plain in the first place that Uncle Sam is not going around with a chip on his shoulder inviting a conflict with any other nation, but, on the contrary, desires to live in amity with all the world. Of Japan he spoke with a wide knowledge of its people and govern- ment, complimenting both highly and expressing both the hope and the be- lief that there would always be har- mony and good feeling. The Japanese admiral echoed the sentiment of the president and bore testimony it wai that of his people, . A certain amount of friction be- tween nations coming into intimate contact is to be expected, just as with individuals having interests which do not always harmonize. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in- temperate strife must constantly re- sult. ‘Pepple who sebk to conjure up a war scdre bétweern“this country gnd Japan fail to take this into account. Those responeible for the destinies of both nations appréciate it fully, how- ever, and realize also that both have more to lose than te gain by discord. This {8 the best assurance of continued peaceful relations. Slobber. Hitchcock, who has no more love for Mayor Jim than the devil has for holy water, devotes a column of the World-Herald to handing a double- leaded package of slobber to the Mr. mayor. Mayor Jim is suddenly ‘‘en- titled to credit.” He occupies “high and unassailable ground.” He is “a bigger man, a truer democrat and a better Omahan than some of his ene- miés.” Mayor Jim has been “famous tor his backbone” .and commands “‘popular trust and respect.” He will grow stronger than ever “if.” The “if" is conditioned on Mayor Jim's willingness to take orders from Mr. Hitcheock. “If" hé shows his backbone to the extent of deelaring his independence of Mr. Hitchcock it will no lohger be ‘good for Mayor Dahl- man,” but the column of slobber will quickly give way to a column of invec- tive denunciation and condemnation, “If"” Mayor “Jim'" ean't sea through the game that Hitchcock and his World-Herald are playing, he is not the shrewd politiclan he is supposed to be. Talking about backbone, is it true, as currently reported at the time, that In the middle of the recent city cam- paign Mr. Hitcheock summoned Mayor “Jim" into his august presence and demanded that he resign from the ticket? Bleached Flour Abroad. The highest courts of both Great Britain and France have recently passed upon the question of bleaching flour and their findings are particu- larly pertinent in view of the conten- tion betwéen the millers in our winter wheat belt and the National Pure Food commission. In both instances the courts decided that the bleaching of flour produced no deleterious effects. The French tribunal even held that the testimony showed thefood quall- ties of flour were actually improved by the process. In the British case the principal wit- ness to sustain the contemtéon that bleaching was harmful was Prof. Ladd of North Dakota, by whose ex- periments the ruling ip this.country is to be largely determined. Two em!- nent British sclentists followed min- utely ;Mr. I add’s experiments and ar- rived at exactly opposite results.

The conference of Marine hospital and health officlals, in session in hington, should have the attention which its merits warrant. There is no one question which so vitally affects everyday life as the prevention of un- necessary disease. Health or the lack of it touches all thé Industrial, social and economical problems. Health is an absolute prerequisite to reaching the highest accomplishment in every line of endeavor, but modern methods have performed wonders in mitigating the misery and economic waste of dis- eases which formerly cost thousands of lives and incapacitated other thou- sands from performing their part in the world’s work. The science of disease prevention is in its infaney, but the earnest, scholarly men who are dedicating their lives to it are performing a task whose value canpot be measured. It is only recently that the causes for many of humanity’s scourges were un- derstood and even now our knowl- edge is stlll imperfect. With Iinfinite pains the sclentific investigators have searched out the causes of diseases, the means of prevention and cures for many of which baffled their predeces- sors. Few of them have reaped any substantial financial return for their labors and their reward is largely in the consciousness of a good work well done. The most conspicuous vxamples of disease prevention accomplished by the Marine hospital service are the practical eradication of yellow fever in Cuba, the canal zone and our south+ ern cities and the checking of the bu- bonic plague which invaded the Pa- cific coast cities. These diseases are 8o quickly fatal that med'cal treat- ment avalls little in effecting cures, but they have been stamped out by preventive means. In the light of their accomplishments the work these agencies are doing is entitled to un- stinted encouragement and support. Conferende of Emperors. Considerable importance is attached to a conference between the emperors of Germany and Russia, soon to take place on' shipboard in the Baltic sea, to be followed later by a meeting be- tween the German emperor and the president of France, Mutual distrust growing out of the Turkish upheaval and the incidents which preceded it had started rumors of ruptures and even of probable wars, but these con- ferences indicate that diplomacy has evidently settled the differences i{f any existed. The work of the diplomat is con- cealed from the public, however, and in spite of assurances that all had been arranged satisfactorily the people are slow to give them credence, That the empeérors or the head of the Ger- man and French governments will themselves actually negotlate arrange- ments of an international character is unlikely. These agreements are the work of the foreign offices. Their meeting in an amicable way, however, 18 likely to have a quieting effect upon the public mind and it is doubtless for this purpose that they are set in spec- tacular surroundings. International rivalries and jeal- ousies in Europe are so many and so intense that it often requires the greatest tact to prevent a clash. Fears of other nations are worked upon to secure appropriations for naval and military expenditures and the time in- tervening between parliamentary ses- sions is utilized to allay the alarm. It s a great game of shuttlecock and bat- tledore, whose continuance without mishap depends upon the skill of the manipulators. After much maneuvering and sparring the governor forced the four republican members of the State Board of Equaliza- tion to vote for a total increase of §5,000,000 in the railiroad valuation of the state.— Worla-Herald. The governor must be a modern Goliah to be able alone and single- handed to force four able-bodied men to do something they do not want to do. The achievement of the four train robbers, holding up & train, is nothing by comparison. If the governor is the whole thing, what's the use of having anyone else on those state boards with him? The compilation of life insurance statistics for the year 1908 shows that of the total amount of claims paid by life insurance companies last year $1,860,000 went to Nebraska benefi- clarfes., It would be interesting to know just how much was collected in from Nebraska policy hoiders in the | form of premiums over and above div- idends so as to strike a balance and show just what Nebraska's share of all this life { costing.

Traction Problems Rallroad Manag- ers Are Trying to Solve. Brooklyn Eagle. According to the Electrical Review and the Western Electrician, the great rafl- roads of the country face a serious situa- tion. Sooner or later they must make a decision as to what propulsive power they will use—steam or electriclty. The asser- tion is that a stage has been reathed be- yond which a step cannot be taken without the expenditure of vast sums. The limit of development In ‘steam trac- tion power, under present conditions, has been reached. Longer freight trains can- not be used unless the traction power of locomotives can be increased. That cannot locomotives can be sclentific reasons be done uniess the lengthened. - For this, are given as to the welght and where it in operation of the existing curves on the lines. ask for reconstruction of the line. crease of weight means increase strengthening of bridges follows sequence, of bridges and abutments. the gauge of the tracks situation, but then that Is reconstruction throughout. a To what extent the welght of locomotives has been increased is seen In this com- parison: In 188 the weight of locomotives was about ten tons; since 18%, locomotives of & weight of over 100 tons have been put In operation. The latter weight is ad- mitted to be the Nmit. reached when, of steam be made, the roads must be re- constructed. That means the expenditure of hundreds of millions. On the other hand are the electric motors. These motors of the same weight as the steam locomotives will exert from 10 to 100 per cent more traction power. It follows, then, that motors of a lesser welght than locomotives could be operated with satis- tactory results under present conditions of tracks, bridges and roadbed. In this view it would seem to be wiser and more eco- nomical to adopt electricity as a propulsive power. But other considerations enter. To do so would be to engage in a revolution Steam locomotives, in which much capital is invested, must be abandoned. Expensive motors must be built to take their places. Expense In electrical superstructure and in power houses in which to generate electric- ity must be undertaken. There are yet other considerations.

Indeed, it is admitted that in the effort for economy the locomotives have been lengthened as much as is desirable in view To Elve greater length is to ask for the elim- ination of the curves.

He swung on a ladder, with gallon cans for tubes, sketching in generous breadth the outlines of the picture as far as he could reach. Then he began to fill in, and with each stroke another interested spectator joined the crowd on the sidewalk. Teamsters stopped their drays on the street as long as they dared. A policeman charged the crowd to clear a way for pedestrians, but made no appreciable effect on the conges- tion. It was not until the artist had stopped for the day that the last onlookers left, and even then they went reluctantly. New York City has 207 banks. Fifty-two of these are savings banks, 102 are national and state banks, and there are fifty-three trust companies carrying on a banking business. Through these depositories of |public and private funds $262,592,14 flows dally. The clearing house transactions show a dally average of $241413,022 in ex- {changes and baiances of $11,170,122. Since ita organization fifty-four vears ago the clearing house trunsactions have exceeded $2,000,000,000,000. Nearly three-fourths of the entire popula- tlon of New York City makes its homes in apartment houses, tenement houses,. two- family houses and In apartment hoteis. The rentals derived from apartment dwell- ings amount to about $15,000,000 a month or |8780,000,000 vearly. The total amount in- | vested in apartment houses in the five boroughs reaches many billions of dollars, and is rapidly increasing. New York City has 30 miles of water front fringed with docks costing $125,000,000. An average of thirty-one steamships, trans- atlantic and coastwise, arrive at or sall therefrom daily. In 1908 New York's ship- ping handled $1,256,042,267 worth of goods. Sixty per cent of the nation's imports en- tered the port of New York and $36,000,000 was collected in customs duties. These fig- ures show an increase of 75 per cent over New York’s forelgn commerce of ten years ngo. The value of the public parks and park- ways In the city of New York exceeds $350,000,000. There are thirty-six parks and parkways in Manhattan and the Bronx, covering 6,160 acres, and thirty-one parks and seven parkways in Brooklyn, 1,600 acres in extent. Central park, with a valuation of $200,000,000, contains ¥3 acres, has nine miles of roads, five and a quarter miles of bridle patbs and thirty-one miles of walks.
