President Taft's appointment of Governor Hughes to flll the vacaney in the supreme court created by the death of Justice Brewer 1 probably the most popular selection he could have made and will undoubtedly be received with general satisfaction all over the United States. Governor Hughes represents the best there is In public life. He stands for compiete and impartial administra tion of law, Irrevocably agalnst boss ism and graft in politics, the spoils system and all kindred evils and typi- files that kind of reform which, with out flamboyant methods, exposes cor- ruption, eliminates useless formality and secures the greatest benefit to the greatest number. This has been his record during both his terms as chief executive of New York. Fearless, ng gressive and sane, he has given the people of that state such an able ad ministration ag to bring him into the arena of national affairs as one of the most conspicuous- figures of his day It was his relentless pursuit of the in surance fraud that led to the general awakening of the conscience of New York, eventuated in a political house- cleaning and set an example for other states that has been followed with vital results, Ile has established in his own commonwealth a new era of public life and has secured the enact- ment of laws that will make it danger- ous and more difficult to reverse the tide ot reform and go back to the old order, thus giving to his services the element of permanency and endurance. Governor Hughes will bring to the supreme bench ability, experience and character especially fitting him for the grave dutles, and he has a judicial temperament to back up his powers as a lawyer that will combine in making him as great an Interpreter of the law as he has shown himself to be a great administrator. His high sense of the solemn importance of the position fs tully reflected in the personal finan- clal sacrifice he makes in accepting the president’s appointment. As to his corporation proclivities Governor Hughes' record is the best answer. Most of the practical reforms he has instituted, most of the investigations he has forced, have involved, directly or indirectly, powerful corporations, and yet the guilty have been pun- Ished wherever convicted and at all times prosecuted with impartial vigor. But corporations have nothing to fear from a man of his sense of right and justice. He has protected these inter- ests where they deserved protection with as much vim as he has punished them when deserving punishment. The west, from the Mississippl to the Californig line, which now has no representative on the bench, will heartily endorse the appointment of Governor Hughes, who comes from a circuit that was not represented and probably will secure, the.next place available. . Geographical. .considera- tions never have entered into the mak- ing of these appointments. New Tariff Law. Since the new tariff law became operative elght months ago the reve- nue receipts of the government have increased $50,000,000- over what they were for the elght months a year be- fore; a year ago our deficit, the ex- cess of ordinary expenditures over or- dinary recelpts, was $70,000,000; this year it is about $15,000,000; the full quota of labor is employed, industries are running on full time and paying the highest wages ever paid in the his- tory of the country and the total ad- vance in wages for the year, it is esti- mated, will reach $500,000,000. All these facts were pointed out by Vice President Sherman in his 8t. Louls speech and they ought to con- vince any unprejudiced man that the new tariff has gone a long way toward ameliorating the conditions for which it was Intended and is fundamentally sound. But democrats and those others bent on attacking the law for poliiical purposes prate about not enouc! vision downward. What is the pur pose of downward revision in a tarift? Is it not to open our doors to foreign imports as a-means to competition that will affect domestic pricea? Since this law went into effect the imports of the United States have increased in value over those of the corresponding period a year ago $200,000,000, or at the rate of $300,000,000 a year. The fact is, the downward tendency has been so marked that, as Vice Presl- dent Sherman says, we need now to think of checking the decline instead of facilitating it. Mr. Sherman did not go into the maximum and minimum clause of the law, and yet that is one of the strong- est elements it possesses. By virtue ot that clause, forced into the biil by Pesident Taft, from 50 to 60 per cent of AAmerican exports have gone into foreign markets free of duty and nine- tenths of those paying duty have been admitted at the minimum rate in those countries, More labor employed and at the highest wages ever known, revenue increased by stupendous sums, more imports, more domestic products ad- mitted abroad at lower rates—protec- tion for labor and capital alike, the highest prices to the farmer, and the cost of living finally on the decline— these are things brought about since last August when this tariff law went Into effect. What more could the law bave accomplished? What was it the democrats expected? Botb President Taft and Vice Presi- dent Bherman have admitted that even 4dhey want further revision of the tariff and propose to securd it, but no mat- ter what the republican party did, it would not affect the campaign plans of the democrats and should not be ex pected to If they should |admit the truth about the new law | they would that moment give up thelr chief political subterfuge and the peo. | ple shovld not expect them to make that sacrifice on the eve of an election suddenly Back to the Land is the Cry. Heads of large American steamship lines are deploring the tendency of | American boys to turn their backs !upon the merchant marine and face | more lucrative employment on land get enough youths to fill their appren ticeships and admit that it s purely |a money matter. The boys are pald 1$10 a month and provided with uni forms, which, until the glamor of & sea-faring life wore off, has contented the young men. Why should it not be difficult to get a boy worth having at that figure when the future In such an occupa |tion, fraught always with danger and bardehip, offers so little? If, as the | big companies indist, this money-mind | edness on the boys’' part is impalring |the strength and undermining the future of our merchant cannot the owners of the big liners be ia little less money-minded and at least come somewhere near paying as well for their labor as similar interests on land have to pay? We begin to feel that the boys are not alone tainted with this evil of money-mindedness. It so happens, (however, that there {s more than the mere matter of pay; 1t 1s also the matter of treatment and personal rights that deters many boys from embarking upon this sort of oc- cupation. Many of the blg American liners have sought to adopt certain methods in vogue on British vessels that hold the sailor in very narrow lines of activity so far as his individ- uality is concerned. The United States government has a contract with at least one large steamship compauy whereby it carries ten cadets on each of its vessels and it is possible the government might intercede in behalf of the boys and the companies at the same time and exert an influence that would In the end con- duce to the upbuilding of the mer- chant marine, a necessary institution, by securing concessions that would en- able the boys to do as well, or com- paratively o, on sea as on land. Omaha’s Water Problem. The passage by the city councll of an ordinance intended to specify the quality of water that may be fur- nished to the citizens serves to direct attention to the water situation. For several months an agitation has been in progress looking to the improve- ment of the quality of the water. Less boisterous, but nonetheless deter- mined and important, been made for the improvement in the . quantity of the water. It has long been notorlous that Omaha’s water supply has been deficient in both regards. The responsibility for this situation is popularly laid at the door of the Omaha Water company, overlooking the fact that for more than two years the water company has heid itself merely as a trustee for the city of Omaha in the management of the water plant. When the city coun- cil, under the provisions of “Senate File No. 1,” elected seven years ago to proceed with the “immediate and compusory purchase” of the water plant, the city was virtually committed to the acquirement by pur- chase of the property of the Omaha Water company. It is more than two years since the board of appralsers made its report, and the water com- pany accepted the award and tendered its plant to the city. Since that time the matter has been in the federal courts, where the Water board has undertaken to set aside the appraise- ment. | The case was recently argued before the supreme court of the United States and a decision may be expected from that tribunal soon. If it should be favorable to the water company the city will Le required to assume control and operation of the plant without de- lay; it it should be in favor of the city, then the matter of appraisement wiil commence anew and the termination of the process of purchase will be in- definitely postponed. In the mean- time the city cannot compel the water company to add to its plant. | This situation has confronted the | citizens for many months, growing Imcre serious as the city has grown, |and the demand for water has in- creased. It is now well nigh intolera- ble and The Bee renews the suggestion it has made from time to time, since the effort to purchase the water plant w undertaken, that some steps be taken to relieve the situation. An agreement certaluly ought to be easily reached whereby the rights of both parties to the controversy can be pro- tected and the citizens be furnished with an adequate supply of pure water. Persopal and political aspirations can now well be cast aside and the mem- bers of the Water board may render a real service to the public by taking ‘he lead in this movement. If they one of the other o'ganizations of a quasi-public character must make the move. The voluminous report by a govern- ment expert has merely served to con- firm what was well kfiown to the eiti- zens of Omaha—that so long as water is pumped from the Missouri river danger of contamination exists. The expert advises that as soon as possible the intakes must be changed and that better means for purification must be provided.

While I sympathized with him he ordered a cup of coffee and a plece of rhubarb ple at 10 cents each. 1 called for my bill and my compaulon asked the waiter the price of strawberries.

That made 80 cents for his luncheon, and I don't know how much more he ate. “1 picked up the afternoon paper later in the day and saw that Uncle Joe Cannon had caten a 10-cent breakfast at a dairy lunch room, This is one phase of the high cost of living. Appearing before the supreme court of the United States a few days ago to in- to practice on the senator's motfon, some one expressed surprise that Senator Elkins was a member of the bar of the supreme court, “Why,” sald a friend of the senator, “Mr. Elkins practiced law in New Mexico many years before he ever went to West Virginia, and he has been a senator from that state for sixteen years. “Not only did Mr. Elkins practice law in New Mexico, but he was United States district attorney there. And his court work was at a time when the officlal fanguage of the court was Spanish.’ Senator Elkins seldom finds use for his knowledge of Spanish these days, but he| manages to keep up sufficient praktice to enal him to speak Spanish when re- quired, even though his days of practicing law in the Spanish tongue have long since passed. A good many thoughtful men in congres: writes a correspondent of the New York Post, are ready to condemn the impulse which brought about the erection of the two great white marble palaces as office bulldings for the members of the house and serate. They cost an enormus sum, and they ara most elaborately equipped and fin- ished, especially the senate bulldng. It has been estimated that for what the two bulldings cost a handsome, modern resi- dence in the best section of Washington could have been built, furnished and na!n- tained for each of the 92 members of the senate and 351 members of the house. Some of the legislators are beginning to think the money might have been better ex- pended that way. Two positive effects have resuited sines the two office bui)dings have been cccu-| pled. Representatives who can find any cubbyhols in the capitol large enough to hold & roll-top desk and a swivel chair, do not use the handsome new offices which they voted money to provide for them- selves. Of course, the members of con- gress who have good commitiee rooms in the capitol have stayed where they were.
