The announced intention of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island to retire at the end of his preseént term as United States genator, which expires March: of next year, will cause wide- #pread comment 'and will elfeit a great diversity of opinion as to whether his viewpoint of the public kervice desir- able or regrettable. The dominating positfon which Sen- although representing the smallest state in the unfon, has at- tained in matters df legislation in the upper house of congress is universally conceded. - Senator Aldrich has a per- sonality which is so strong and force- ful that It commands a place of leader- ship, and his long ecareer in publip lite and exceptional familiarity with the intricate questions of government have almost naturally, with the drop- ping out or enfeeblement of the other long service semators, put him to the front and made him practically the embodiment of the force that does things fn the senate, But no man is indispensable, and the wheels of government will con- tinue to revolve irrespective of the changes worked by time in the per- sonnel of its lawmakers. Senator Ald- rich has come to be held up by the democratic opposition, and also by the so-called republican insurgents, as the agent of the great corporate interests in matters of national legislation. So far ds the democrats are concerned they will not cease to charge the republican party with being a party of privilegé and special interests. But whether the insurgents will find it eagier with Mr. Aldrich out of the way and get into line for harmonious party work remains to be seen, We bélleve that events are rapidly shaping toward republican. party solidarity, and If the retirement of Senator Ald- rich and the elimination of Mr. Can- non as a speakership possibility will help it along, the party and the coun- try will be the gainers, although at a cost of tried and experienced leader- ship, Actually Curing Tuberculos: Eighty-two of the 161 cases sent to the tubercular hospital at Las Animas, Colo.,, by the Navy department, have been cured and’ dismissed, according to the official report. Other cases, the report says, have been much improved, some glving strong hope for ultimate cure, This 1s splendid encouragement to the many agencies combined in the warfare against the white plague ‘and it should go far to stimulate hope and stamp out the weak belief that the dis- 6ase canmot be ocured, a belief which, it is refreshing to observe, is steadily losing ground. - Fifteen years ago, or even ten years ago, men would have recelved a report of such suceass in treating tuberculosis with the utmost Incredulity if not sheer ridicule. The systematic, organized crusade that hag been set in motion against tuberculosls in late years it not only effeeting posi-| tive cures, but is accomplishing great results of an educational character, teaching the people that the disease is within the scope of human ald and that its prevalence may be vastly re- duced by proper modes of living. What the people needed to know and are learning fs that the disease is often superinduced by a laxness in living, that may be easily corrected by simple observance of ordinary ganitation. This preventive work, the organiza- tions back of this crusade, have .con- celved to be of the first importance. Removing the causes, of course, will lessen the likelthood of tuberculosis, and removing the causes is, after all, in many cases a mere matter of every person taking plenty of fresh air and sunshine, proper food and exercise and obeying natural sanitary laws, ¢ —— Railroad Earnings, The gross earnings of fifty-three railroads, with an aggregate mileage of 86,936 mileg—more than one-third of all the mileage of the country®=ghow a total gain of $8,795,473 for the month of March, 1810, over the fig- ures for the game month in 1909, and the 1909 figures were on the upturn, for the total increase that month was $5,082,366, despite the fact that March of the year preceding, 1908, showed a loss of $9,180,000, the result of the 1907 trade congestion. This March in- crease is the largest for any month since November, and the most signifi- cant feature of it Is that it is a gain in both ratlo and amount, It repre- | years show.that those of 1010 are the|by the big” packing kings may not excepting even the big year [simplify the process of best, of 1907. The one lésson of this must be that the railroads have completely |t recovered from the i1l effecfs of the panic and are earning miore money |t 4han they ever did, It is of interest | to note in this connection, because of his complaint about earnings, that Mr. HI'S Great Northern, his leading northwest road, shows a gain for March earnings of $566,120, although Illinols Central tops all the middle-|t west roads, with an increase for the |l month of $816,260. Ourbing the Cotton Kings. When stock market manipulation reachos the point of closing down in- dustries and throwing men out of em- ployment it is time for the govern- ment to take a hand in curbing the criminal rapacity respomsible for the situation. Attorney General Wicker- sham has therefore undertaken a splendid duty in his attempt to break the cotton pocl and punish those who formed it, and he should have the full advantage of every power and facility at the command of the Department of Justice. He will need it, for he has essayed a formidable task, one with- out precedent In the annals of trust prosecution on whoss outcome hang tremendous consequences, Twenty-five per cent of the opera- |y tors of the cotton mills are idle today because a few men have gained con- 1 trol of the market, fixing prices at will. They have already advanced those prices so far above the normal that manufacturers have reduced their | output rather than buy at the exorbi- tant figures, throwing out of employ- ment 26 per cent of their operators as a result. It Is much to the credit of the attorney general that he instituted |t action immediately this startling in- formation reached him. > Seldom if ever in the machinations ot stock market gambling have as flagrant examples of speculating in staple articles of commerce been dis- closed. The chief manipulator has boasted of his power and plan to domi- nate the market, throttle competition and control legitimate dealers as he will, and has come perilously 'near making good on his vaunted deflance. The government could not afford to let this challenge of its authority go|r unanswered, any more than it could afford to permit such complete vio- lation of the rights of ogher people for { no better purpose than the aggrandize- |, ment of unscrupulous get-rich-quick men, ‘We have too much artificial upset- | ting of the 1a% of sugply and ‘demand in our processes of business already and we can hope for no better oppor- tunity of starting back to the leglti- mate basls of honest business than this case atfords. Mr. Wickershani‘s promptness and vigor in taking hold of this irritating situation gives as- surance of his determination to go the | limit with this prosecution. t ol o al el The People and the Court. The resolutions adopted by the Ne- braska State Rallway commission sug- gesting to the president that he give |t no consideration to any lawyer who|®t llas been the retained or salaried law officer of a railroad for appointment to the supreme court vacancy, ralges a lot of delicate questions. It suggests that the battle between the people and |, the railroads iIs still on and that no lawyer trained in a railroad ‘office would give the people a square deal on the supreme bench. It further sug- gests that the supposed leaning or bias of the lawyer before he goes on the bench cannot be overcome after he assumes the judiclal robes, and that if there is to be any bias or lean- ing it should be for the people and I {8 too sleepy to appreclate it. who sits up to see the comet sees two.

A Legal Vindieatio: Philadelphit Record, A Chicago lawyer has collected a fee f $,00 for adviding a woman that her marriage to an old and dying man of wealth would be legal..

We certainly do not want or any other court, packed with rail- lawyers, and the same thing could be said of corporation lawyers in general, but still it {s well known that the best legal talent in the coun- try is for the most part engaged In covporation work.

This leads the Chicago Examiner to insist that tie end desired is not tq be gained by putting up against rallroad lawyers aspiring to judicial appointment, but that the real supreme court, We certainly do objection is to the life tenure which makes the federal court absolutely in- dependent of and immune to the pres- sents an mdvance over last year of 16.81 per cent.

The miserly saver stinting himself for the grati- fication of his kin is the sum and sub- office, who died about a year ago, His heirs are now dividing & fortune of §3,00,- 000. Hoffman had the reputation among his business assoclates and his acquaintances in the old-fashioned Brooklyn boarding house where he lived of never spending a dollar recklessly or in pursuit of pleasure. For twenty years he used the South ferry to and from his office, thus getting to Manhattan for the small sum of 1 cent a day. His death was Indirectly due, it was sald by a close business friend, to the in- creased price of crossing the Kast river for he decided to walk over the Brookiyn bridge in preference to paying the addi- tional cent charged during the rush hour, He caught cold when facing the winds one encounters on that structure in early spring and atter a short fllness died. The career of this man, who made $3,00,- 0 ¥o quietly, canrot be compared with that of any other Wall street man, for His one motto was “Boon- omy." He was an efficlent clerk, and even though 72 years old when he died, he con- tinued to hold the position of head of the foreign department of Brown Bros. His knowledge of securities and of stocks was astounding, and it is still sald in the of- fices he was assoclated with for fifty-five years that he never ‘made a mistake. He carefully invested his money in railroad stocks and in United States Steel, for he readlly saw that the age of steel had ar- rived, and he who got In on the ground floor would become @& milllonaire. His wealth then Increased with great rapidity, but he remained content with his office boy mode of life, remaining indoors even on a Sunday to save money, and having for his literature the financial reports he would bring from his office. The spirit of the wild west and of the lariat stunts pulled off by “Mayor Jim" during the rald of the “home folks,” nearly four years ago, occasionally breaks out in some New York youngsters. One Clarence Young, whose surname fits his age, es- sayed the larfat act on an automobile, caus- ing a reduction of his conceit and an ab- normal swelling of the head, plus bandage. Among his chums he is known as Clarence the Cowboy, In striving to live up to the nickname, Clarence sallled forth, one day last week to rope ‘em In. His trusty riata was fastened to his belt; he swung the colls lazily. Along sped the auto of Henry Townsend of the Cumberland Glass com- pany. ‘“Whoopee-ee! lled Clarence and out shot the rope like a snake uncolling. A fine throw, indeed. The loop dropped and tightened about one of the front lamps. But the auto had about 1,000-bull power, Clarence was yanked off his feet and dragged thirty yards before Townsend rea- lized what the trouble was and stopped the car. Clarence was bedraggled when they picked him up, but a doctor, who sounded him carefully, decided there was nothing seriously wrong. Only a battered head and a pair of black eyes. A New York man whe keeps late hours had a queer adventure a few nights ago, in telling which he says: “The joke might have been a tragedy.” He lives in & house which is one of a number ¢xactly allke In apperance, and when he unlocked the front door at 1 a. m. he had no {dea that hie was entering the home of his next door neigh- bor. The hall was dark—an unusual oc- currence, as he remembered later—and “my hat fell to the floor,” he sald, “because there was no hook where I thought there was one. I left it there and started up- stairs. On the first landing I heard a baby ory, and, as there never was a baby in our family, I came to and started back. I wa in such a hurry to get out that I left my hat on the floor where it had fallen and ‘where next day it was evidence against me. How many more houses I can get into with that key I don't know, but I do know that the lock on my door was changed before noon the next day.” The four-wheel wagon has been the pre- vailing type of vehicle for so long that the recent Introduction of a wagon with six wheels {s proving a matter of considerable interest to those who see it. The six- wheeol wagon, which has been adopted in New York is an automobile truck for carrying coal. It s replacing the big three-horse iron truck hitherto used for large orders. The automobile truck wil deliver four times the quantity of coal in a day and nelther foy tracts nor hot weather delays it. New York householders, according to the department of street cleaning, throw away each year 675,000 tons of perfectly good fuel, which, it properly utilized, would mean @ considerable reduction in the ftem of the higher cast of living.

B e — Mongering in Washington. Philadelphia Ledger, Some Washington wiseacres are evidently determined that the president shall &et & new cabinet.

Bince he cannot be retired, it ahs been decided that the secretary of the treasury must go because he is & free trader only dls- gulsed. Some of the cabinet officers have too much to do with polities dnd others not enough. Some are too radical and some too conservative. The most interesting part of all these ex- pected resignations is that neither the president nor any ome eof the members of the cabinet appears to know anything about them.
