The supreme court’s order for a re argument of the Standard Oil and To bacco trust cases Indicates a deter mination on the part of the judges to have all the points fully presented be- fore reaching a conclusion, even if to do this requires considerable delay It means that the fssues involved are regarded as so far-reaching and com- plicated as to make most careful con sideration desirable and imperative, While the public generally would like to have these cases adjudicated by the court of last resort as soon as possible and will regard this postpone- ment of the decision as another of the law's delays which ought to be obvi ated, still what every one wants is absolute and impartial justice to these colossal corporations as to the hum- blest citizen in the land. The suits are brought under allegation that these so-called trusts have been violating the Sherman law and have brought upon themselves the severe penalties which that law prescribes. These are not the only corporations whose in- terests are at stake, for if the de- cision goes against the Standard Ofl and tobacco companies a great many large business organizations will have to revise completely their methods of operating, and it will behoove the court to draw the lines at what the Sherman law makes illegal, so that all who wish to be law-abiding may gov- ern themselves accordingly. Without the order for reargument the decision would have to be ren- dered by only seven of the nine judges because of the death of Justice Brewer and the incapacity of Justice Moody. It will now doubtless when submitted find the existing vacancy filled, and possibly come before a full bench, or at any rate have the participation of eight judges. Cancer in Fish. President Taft has deemed it of suf- ficlent importfnce to call the atten- tion of congress by a special message to the prevalence of cancer among fish, recommending the appropriation of $50,000 for the erection of one or more laboratories at suitable places for the purpose of making an active investigation into the subject. This action is taken on the basis of reports made to the president by the director of the New York state laboratory, the secretary of commerce and labor and the commissioner on fisheries. The general scheme of improving and protecting public health, involv- ing the warfare against tuberculosis also comprehends a vigorous fight to overcome the ravages of the cancer and this movement, encouraged by the chief executive, is but a part of that larger plan. In the course of his mes- sage he says: Progress in the prevention and treatment of human digeases has been marvejously alded by an investigation (mto:the-same fsease In those of the lower animals which are subject to it, and we have every reason to belleve that a close investigation into the subject of cancer in fishes, which are frequently swept away by an epidemic of it, may give us light upon the dreadful human scourge. The president recently recom- mended to congress the advisability of creating a bureau of public health as the best organized agency for dl- recting the multiplicity of efforts ex: erted for better hyglenic conditions and he says that were this bureau now in existence he would turn over to it this investigation of the cancer in fish. There is a commercial side to this proposition which, however, receives no consideration from the president at this time and for this purpose. Fish, like flesh, becomes an article of Inter- state commerce only when placed in the channels of trade and this gives rise to the question, will the govern- ment decide to establish a system of fish inspection such as it has done with reference to meat, maintaining its in- spectors at the various packing plants in many cities of the country? If the president has been properly advised as to the danger of cancer in fish, it would seem most urgent that some such steps be ultimately taken. His recommendation for an appropriation of $60,000 only contemplates, of course, an experiment for the present, on whose results future action will de- pend. Just to Swap Stories. So Mr. Pinchot went to Italy merely to swap stories with his old friend, Colonel Roosevelt. Why was that not thought of long ago? Why all this idle gossip about deep-laid plots in the mission of the former forester? Truly the tendency, of the times is toward sensation. This desire is so inor- dinate that people prefer to jump from the simplest and most natural conclusion to the remotest and most far-fetched. Here are two men who for years had been ardent mutual admirers and intimate friends. They love the same flelds and enjoy the same sports. One has been off on a year's hunt for big game—the other, a great hunter, too, has been having somewhat of a lively time at home. What more natural than that Mr. Pinchot and Colonel Roosevelt would be eager to meet and exchange reminiscences, swap hunting stories, discuss the relative merits of Antersectionsa? This discriminative intelligence with which pevple of remote hamlets in Italy have recelved the Roosevelt party carries its own lésson of how people of #ll nations watch current events, i o Young Theodore Roosevelt, who has perved his apprénticeship as & carpet- maker abd gets married In June, shoul least be able to save his wife bullets and buckshot, for, as Colonel Roosevelt's tactful secretary confided to the newspaper men to whom he imparted the secret of this. meeting, “Mr, Pinchot is also a good marks- man."” : Perhaps, after all, there is some- thing in the superstition that sphynx- Ilike attributes follov: the tourist out of Egypt. Burely some occult power is required to seal a man's lips under such inviting conditions as those sur- rounding Colonel Roosevel ‘t’ be- ing pressed for that coveted secret. / THE BEE: ()A\I.\HA\.'

Champ Clark’s Childs Play. Stripped of all pretense of purpose, the refusal of the house to defray the expenses of the speaker's automobile reveals Champ Clark and his demo. cratie understudies in an act of dem- agoguery as puerile as it is patent. The only strange feature of it is that any republican member of congress could be caught in such an obvious trap of party politics of the peanut brand. ‘It Is another Instance of the minority leader using republicans as catspaws to rake his political chest- nuts out of the fire, ana the velled at- tempt to give it the appearance ofean insurgent attack adds no merit to it and deceives no thoughtful person. It would require more speclous pleading and far-fetched arguments even than the member from the Sec- ond Nebraska district offered to jus- tify this trick as anything more than mere child’s play, as Representative Mann called it. The absurdity of the whole thing appears in Champ Clark’s using this instance of lopping off a few dollars to declare that if the dem- ocrats get into power they will show %hat toe government can be run $300,- 000,000 cheaper than it Is today. It is not a matter of Cannon and Can- nonism at all, not susceptible by the most strained construction of any such interpretation. To begin with, the automobile was provided for the speaker against his will and the faith- ful watchdogs of the treasury sup- plied it to him, knowing that it, like other automobiles, would cost some- body money if used. Champ Clark strikes while the iron is hot. He employs an insignificant item of routine expense to revive anti- Cannon animosities for no better pur- pose than to make a stage play of party politics and counts not in vain on stampeding some of the republicans who but recently succeeded in dis- placing the speaker from the rules committee. And after it is over what does it signify? Only that the minor- K 1 \Here he has just come from a. long | ity party still lacks a big, command- ing leader in the lower house of con- gress, No one will disagree with Mr. Cannon when he says that if the Mis- jourian were to become speaker ‘he would be the samie Champ Clark that he is now.” Little. matters like auto- mobile expenses would not vex his righteous soul then and economy in public expenditures would become the least of his worries Another Object Lesson, The fact that on a direct vote Lin- coln has again gone dry by an in- creased majority is another object les- son of the efficiency of the existing law in Nebraska for the regulation of the liquor trafic. When we com- mented on the tug-of-war results be- tween the weis and drys a week ago we called attention to the fact that un- der the Slocumb law, which has pre- vailed in this state for nearly thirty years, every city or town is enabled to license liquor selling or to refuse to license, as the majority of its inhabi- tants see fit, and we here have another example, Lincoln has just’ gone through a strenuous campaign over the license and no-license issue, in which the forces have been marshalled on both sides in full array. Lincoln has been dry for a year and previous to that had been closing at 7 o'clock, so that the decision to adhere to the dry policy means simply that there has been no reversal of sentiment there. Lincoln, moreover, presents certain conditions which naturally tend to strengthen the dry sentiment. It is the seat of the State university, and as such the tem- porary home, during the greater part of the year, of several thousand young college men and women whom it is de- sirable to shield from temptations that would interfere with their studies, and this unquestionably has a potent effect on the entire community. Lincoln, too, has no large industrial population and no large numbers of workingmen looking for cheap recreation and amusement. In fact, Lincoln is more like an overgrown country toyn than a metropolitan city which its popula- tion would indicate. Plainly, the Lincoln people want their town to stay dry, and they have in addition resented the intrusion of outsiders brought in to tell them they | ought to get wet. But if the rule works both ways, the drys in Lincoln and elsewhere, instead of trying to force prohibition on those who do not want it, ought to be wlilling to let every other city and town say for itself whether it wants to be wet or dry. Inmates of the Grand Island Sol- diers' home are complaining that their treatment there I8 ‘““worse than Ander- and the blame is put up to Governor Shallenberger for Insisting on retalning an Incompetent com- mandant in charge. The Anderson- ville reference may be exaggerated, but the old soldiers in their declining years are entitled to the very best con- sideration the state can give them, and that was, no doubt, the intention of the leglslature when appropriating [l money for this purpose. We belleve one trouble arises from the limitation in the law which makes it mandatory on the governor to appoint none but a unfon veteran to the trying position of commandant, which calls for vigor- | ous executive ability. The time has come when the law should be amended to permit the appointment to this place of a veteran of the Spanish war it no qualified union veteran Is available, Our automobilists will have to get together on the question of what an automobile is worth for the purpose of assessment and taxation. But then, of course, everyone knows the vast difference there Is between the original purchase price and the amount al- lowed by the dealer when trading in on a new one. Take note that while Milwaukee marched under the socialist banner at its last city election, only 150 votes, in round numbers, weré polled for the socialist ticket in South Omaha. Soclalism in this country is as yet a local issue. ’ The street rallway company should be officially notified that every once in a while an accidental jolt makes its sprinkling car spurt a little water out- side of the space enclosed by the rails. Governor Gillett of California lost his memory when he went to introduce Lord Kitchener as San Francisco's guest, and presented him as the ‘‘greatest general of any army.” The official vote in South Omaha elects one city councilman by a plural- ity of six. It is a case of where six of one is equal to a half dozen of the other. Best Brand of News. Baltimore American.

Six Affirmatives to Three Negatives Recorded. New York Tribune. The income tax amendment to the federal constitution has been ratified by the legls- lature of Maryland, the state senate pas: ing on Monday a resolution of approval adopted several weeks @go by the house of delegates, The amendment has now been definitely accepted by these six states— Alabama, South Carolina, Illinols, Okla- homa, Mississippl and Maryland. The Ken- tucky legislature of 1910 passed two ratifica- tion resolutions, both. of which were sup- posed to be defective in form, and a third was under consideration when a sine die adjournment was taken. It has recently been announced, however, that Governor Wilson will forward the second resolution to Washington and let the secretary of state decide whether it is technically regu- lar and valld, . Only one state legislature—that of Vir- sinla—has'so far defeated a ratitying reso- lution. The Virginia house of delegates re- Jected the amendment, while the senate voted to approve it. Last year the lower branch of the Georgla legislature passed a ratifying resolution, but the upper branch postponed its consideration. The Counectl- cut legislature of 1900 also decided to defer action, Four state leg! sesslon—those of Massachusett; land, New York and New Jersey—none of which has acted upon the amendment. The legislature of Georgia will meet again In June and a special sesston of the Loulsiana legisiature is Itkely to be called soon. Ver- mont's legislature assembles in October, so that by the end of 1910 practically one-third of the states will have had an opportunity to pass on the amendment and its chances of approval will have been fairly tested. An affirmative vote by six—possibly by seven— states, With & negative yote by only one, indicates a substawtial popular pres- sure behind the amendment. It has to overcome a formidable inertla, since it must carry both branches of the I three-fourths of the states, but it has in its favor the fact that eacn victory It gains is final, while each defeat may be repaired on subsequent trial > ' IOur Birthday Bookl April 13, 1910, Thomas Jefferson would be celebrating Lis birthday today If he had not gone to Jjoin the immortals.

Graves, protestant episcopal Around New York Mipples on the Current of Life a8 Seen In the Great American Motropolls from Day to Day. | The recent fallure of the newest of New York's lobster palaces raises an issue that overshadows in certain circles the home coming of Roosevelt. Was the fallure due 10 & scarcity of lobsters? Or did the lob- sters resent the evening dress regulation? Among the multitude chiefly ocoupied in “living to eat” the lobster suggestion of tallure is ostracised, while the clothes ques- tlon is received with much favor. The eynieal n intimates that the “evening dress” crowd comes from “the provinces,’ bringing their swell clothes to air In the metropolls. Local lobsters would not be restricted to swallowtails, and shunned the swallowtall palace, putting out of busi- ness an enterprise representing an outla; of $1,00000. Its fittings and decorations were of a Babylonian order and designed to exemplify the luxurious magnificence of the Nebuchadnezsar era. Persons without evening dress were excluded from the night patronage of the palace and this rule is held to be partiy responsible for the fail- ure. “A great splurge was made when the cafe opened,” relates the Brooklyn Bagle. “A London manager of German name was reputed to receive the munificent salary of %0000 & year.

This “minimum of decency” is set at $00 a year—an increase of about $100 over the minimum set by the statisticlans a yea ago. The average wage of 340,000 workers in Manhattan and the Bronx is $643 and of 103,000 in Brooklyn $19. A long, lingering, quivering sound, re- sembling that historic simile of a cow drawing its foot out of the mud, accom- panied by sighs of satisfaction and little squeals of delight, attracted the attention of the passengers In one of the coaches of a Sea Beach train bound Coney island- ward. A hasty survey of those in the car finally revealed a startling sight. Several women in the coach were especlally affected. There In a rear seat sat a young couple wound so tightly in each other's arms that at first blush it appeared as if the young man in the case was trying to throttle his fair companion. At least that was the story later told by the conductor. The passengers stood it as long as they could and finally one of the women pas- sengers called Peter Nicholson, the con- ductor, “Make ‘em stop it she ordered. “The dea of them carrying on like that In a public place.” Nicholson, with jaw °firmly set, ap- proached the couple, and after considerable prying, it is alleged, finally succeeded in separat ng the loving pair. By this time the train had reached the station at Ninth street and Fifth avenue, and Nicholson, with tils hand firmly entwined in the lov- ing youth's collar, bundled him off the train and downstairs to the street, where he placed him in charge. Ten years ago, relates the New York Sun, commenting on the death of the popular young writer, Myra Kelly, a newspaper man was dining one evening with Dr. James T. Kelly, who asked for advice con- cerning his daughter's troubles with maga- zine editors. This seemed like the preface to a familiar story—the young woman had literary ability which the editors persis- tently refused to recognize. What was to be done? But the story was not along that famillar line. . “My daughter, Myra," sald Dr. Kelly when his companion asked how he could help, “is teaching in a downtown East Side school. All of us at home have been entertained by her stories of her pupils and I urged her to write some of them. She was timid about it because of the tales of often rejected manuscripts by un- known writers and did not say that she would make the trial. “Unknown to me she did, though, and de- termined to get over the agony of unani- mous refection as soon as possible she made three coples of her story and posted one each to three magasine editors, “This morning she came to me in dismay with three letters from three editors, thr checks and three requests for more stories, Dr. Kelly's companion agreed to act a: diplomatic agent; saw the three editors, sottled the matter of first choice by lot and gave the bewlidered young school teacher’s promise of other storles in turn 1o the other two editors. That was the unusual manner of en- trance into the fleld of story writing of Myra Kelly, then a teacher In the primary grade of public school 147. The opinions of the magasine editors were speedily justified. Readers d manded more stories about “Isidore Bel chatosky,” there were enthusiastic encores for further comment by ‘“Morrls Mo- Jeisky,” subscribers would not be denled more of the wisdom of “Becky Zalmon- owsky,” and “Patrick Brennan,” whose father had resisted the tide which had swept most of his race away from Poy- erty Hollow, had friends by the thousands among magazine readers.
