He had shown qualities of tact and statesmanship that must give him a new place in the eyes of the world. His influence would unqguestionably have been invaluable in straightening out the tangle between lords and com- mons that still threatens the peace and stability of the emplre. King Edward had a most difficult role to play coming into the throne after the reign of his illustrious | mother, unbroken for nearly sixty-five yvears. The universal feeling that he more than met expectations will be at- tested by the sincerity of the tribates to his memory. Boocting Passenger Rates. Rajlroads between the Atlantic coast and the Missiesippi river are planning for a raise in passenger, as well as freight rates, on the ground that !n~y crease in the cost of operation and the necessity of enlarging facilities to meet the rapid expansion of traffic compels them to provide new revenues. But the raflroads have not vet made any showing that would justify raising p: senger rates, to say nothing of freight. When the states undertook to lower fares the rallroads demanded judicial investigation and carried on extensive inquiries before legislatures, but now they seek to advance these rates on their own exparte exhibit. As to freight rates the announced in- tention is to confine the larger ad- vances to articles carried as first class and make only minor changes in lower grade commodities. Bituminous coal, for irstance, and pig iron will not be affected; they both yield a profit, the railroads admit, under the present schedules and so far as that is con- cerned, the railroads have been appre- hensive lest thoy be forced to lower their rates on coal. Dressed beef will be one of the first articles affected, as it has in some cases already been. It is regarded as expensive traffic. The rallroads offer in this eonnec- tion the contradictory argument that advances in rates should not make for higher prices, in the same breath con- tending that they are forced to iaise their rates because of the high rost of living which has led to a general ad- vance in the ievel of wages. Thelr plen now I8 that this adance in freight rates will be so widely distributed as to be insignificant with respect to any one artiele, but the consumer always ha paid the freight and probably always will. in| to the treatment of human ailment cannot be too thoroughly prepared or too well postéd on the mediclaes he administers. | Municipal Ownership. The people of Omaha have suddenly thrust vpon them a condition that warrants careful and sober considera- tion. With the acquirement by the |elty of the water plant and the sug ested undertaking to acquire an elec- tric light plant for eity purposes, with newer determination of the city's rights in its dealings with other public utility corporations, the question of municipal ownership or control takes on a much bigger and more vital aspect. It is especially Juncture that the subject be dealt with sanely, and that the public be not car- rled away on a wave of hysteria en gendered by wild assertions of irre- sponsible individuals who promise much, but perform little. The seri- ous and costly blunder made in the proceedings to purchase the water plant for the public should stand as a permanent warning against precipitate haste in another direction. If Omaha is to go further along the road to pub- lic ownership of what are generally classed as ‘‘public utilities,” each step should be carefully eonsidered, and the public should be given the fullest opportunity to weigh all matters free from prejudice purposely aroused by celfish demugogues. The decision of the supreme court in the gas cage does not touch direetly on the question of municipal owner- eghip, but has an indirect bearing on that point. It is the re-statement in stronger and clegrer terms of the power of the city over the corporations that serve its citizens. The position in which the lighting company finds itself is one that gives the public great advantages and proves the wisdom that was exercised on behalf of the people in the stipulations inserted in the gas franchise contract when it was last negotiated. | | 1 | i Need for the Scott Bill. The Alabama mine horror in which more than 100 lives are reported lost has had the effect of quickening aation in congress for the passage of the measure creating a buredu -of imines in the Department of the Interior. The appalling frequency of these mine dis- asters has convinced the government that it ean no longer entrust to pri- vate enterprise the sacred duty of safe- guarding human life employed in the mines. Those private agencles have shown a woeful lack of efficlency in this direction and thousands of lyes {have paid the toll of mismanagement or lack of management. The bill in congress is constructed on comprehensive lines which it is be- lieved will give a large measure of re- llef and protection to the miners. Criminal negligence undoubtedly has played a much larger part in these have disclosed or mine owners have ad- duction of the possibility of this sort of reckless indifference to human safety.

Wall Street Journal. Such & climate disturbance as that which covered the upper portion of the Missis sippl drainage basin on.

It should be remembered, to begin with, that orchards and vegetables have had a mueh better start than usual and conse- quently a much greater opportunity to at- tain that degree of hardiness which resists relapses into cold weather even to freezing temperatures. On this account, there may be much less damage than was at first es- timated. Furthermore, the fruit trees in many of the orchard districts could un- dergo the loss of half of their bearings without prejudicing tiie quality and the marketable quantity of the ultimate yleld.

Harriman Lines Outranks Rivals In Modern E ipment, Philadelphia Bulletin, Upon the delivery of 424 all-steel passen- ger cars Just ordered from the Pullman company, the Harriman lines will have more steel equipment than any other rall- road system In the United States. The claim Is made that fully one-third of the entire system will then be of the all-steel type. Distinetive pre-eminence in the use of all- steel cars has hitherto been enjoved by the Pennsylvania system, which, with re- cent orders, soon will have %00 passenger coaches of that type. But, including the present order, the Harriman lines by the end of the year will have 925 such cars in service. Furthermore, it is belleved that within five years every passenger train on the Harriman system will be of steel con | struction, The marked advantages of all-steel pas- senger cars Is their ability to withstand fire and their indestructability in wrecks. Fre- quent collisions have occurred in which the metal coach and its burden of human freight have escaped unscathed, while the 0ld fashioned wooden car has been splin- tered and twisted into a mass fit only for the junkshop. No class of men are quicker to realize the pessibilities of economy in operation than rallroad managers usually | are, and it is to the eredit of the directors of the Pennsylvania and Harriman lines that they have recognized the value of the all-steel coach ahead of thelr rivls, It s & govod deal cheaper to lessen serious wreck- age by investing in preventive agents than t0 be ealled upon to pay death claims as a result of e ther parsimony or a too cautious conservatism in dealing with & new lm- provement “Very Near the Limit Philadelphi Bulletin It may be “good business” to advertise the cxpected presence of the president of the United States at base ball ganies, bill boards with letters a foot h done in Pltteburg last week, but It tainly s in pretty bad taste.
