But Ida Tarbell says the muc}rnher is here to stay. Of three Nehraska postoffices on the salary decrease list one of them is at the home town of Governor Shallen- berger. No one would have thought that the governor's transfer to the state capital wouldy affect postoffice receipts so seriously. And what will Congressman Latta do when the postal savings bank bill is up on roll call? Will he take back his public interview denouncing the whole postal savings bank scheme? Og' will he vote his convictions and re- pudiate the Denver platform?

Those twenty-five rallroads that united in an attempt to raise freight| rates, if they had any justification ea | their side, which is doubtful, plainly erred in not proceeding through the ordinary channels of law providing for submission of proposed tariff changes to the Interstate Commerce commis sion. By their arbitrary action in |ignoring this provision as well as the Sherman anti-trust law, they find them- | selves in a most humiliating dilemma. ‘Their complete backdown before the president places them and their cause at a serlous disadvantage for the fu-| ture, The government's firm stand against precipitate action by the railroads not only has popular sentiment back of it, but ample warrant in conditions. Here on the same day when the news of the withdrawal of advanced rates comes out, is announced the fact that the Great Northern, which has completed its annual report, finds a snug increase in net earnings, and as the Great Northern i{s one of Mr. Hill's roads, this is of special significance, because Mr. Hill was a pioneer in this move- ment for larger freight rates. This s only one of many circumstances tend- ing to discredit the raiiroad plea for higher rates and to embarrass the railroads themselves. But so far as President Taft is con- cerned his action, while positive, is de- signed not to hinder railroad develop- ment, but to bring them to see their own error and the virtue of the govern- ment’s course, as well as the justice of the shippers’ demands. Technically the agreement he made with the rail- road presidents is but a truce, but in fact it is probably the ultimatum, for there is little or no likelihood of the| roads being able to establish their claims later any more than now, , Canada Makes Conditions, Canada’s positive refusal to receive immigrants from England merely as a means of relieving the congestion in London's army of unemployed presents a most interesting situation. "London hit upon the plan of using the Dominfon as its social dumping ground, but Canada has balked and re- fused to admit any man unless deemed fit for farm labor. It has great need for men to help develop its agricultural resources, but none for those unable to do this kind of work. While much {8 to be sald for Canada’s position, it nevertheless is subject to some criticism. The in- dustrial centers of the mother country are overrun with the army of unem- ployed, which is being swelled largely for lack of work, so that poverty has become a national ménace. England has no room for contiguous territorial expansion and these thousands must seek employment, if at all, among its provinces or dependencies, to reach which they must have ald. But what- ever sentimental duty may seem to im- pose itself on Canada in this connec- tion fs lost sight of by that sturdy peo- ple who are just now fixing their gaze upon the practical point of view and are busily developing a wonderfully rich empire. Canada is not half as hospitable to- ward England as the United States is toward all European countries, 135,000 of whose immigrants it admitted to its portals during the month of April! alone. And it is of particular interest to note that most of these came from northern Europe, 16,604 from the Brit- ish Isles alone. Canada’s action must impress on all the fact that Canada enjoys a much larger scope of independence than is comprehended in the definition of pro- visional government and that it is to practical purposes distinct and separate in its authority from England. It even owes a very small financial obligation to the crown, taxes for the army and navy constituting about its whole share of the burden of maintaining the gov- ernment at home.

Ak-Sar-Ben's open season is now on, and there will be something doing in the realm of Quivera right along until the culminating event of crown- surroundings of pageantry in October. Ak-Sar-Ben is an established insti- tution known far and wide the world over. When Colonel Roosevelt emerged from the jungle and encoun- tered travelers from Nebraska in the valley of the Nile, he returned their greeting by recalling the triumphs of Ak-Sar-Ben. Ak-Sar-Ben {s a monarch at whose court all loyal citizens of Omaha and Nebraska are welcome, and he lets his subjects share his glory. He is the one ruler who never dies and whose reign has no ending. Ak-Sar-Ben starts out this year under most promising auspices. Here's hoping that the year 1910 will again write Ak-Sar-Ben down on the calendar, “‘Bigger, better and grander than ever. Not So Bad, After All. In order to make a showlng of work accomplished, the organ of the Anti- Saloon league makes public a specially compiled exhibit of the results of the recent spring elections through Ne- braska so far as they have affected wet and dry territory, as follows: In the first place, more towns went from “wet" to “dry” than from “dry” to “‘wet,” and by an aggregate majority that wipes out the majority of the “dry” to “wet" towns. In most of the thirteen towns where the “dry” policy was discontinued the issue was ngt clearly defined and we did not poll our full vote; overconfidence and even criminal negligence paved the way for the temporary setback. In the second place, out of @55 towns, 427 are “dry” and only 28 “wet.” In other words, we have 187 per cent morg “dry" towns than “wet" towns. Again, the population of all these towns is about 503,00. Deducting this number from the total population of a little over 1,066,000, leaves about 563,000 who live in rural sections of the state. Of this num- ber fully 8 per cent live in territory where a safoon I8 unknown. This divides the population of the state Into the 409,068 living in ‘‘wet" territory and the 657,237 living in “dry" territory. In other words, we have 160 per cent more people living in “dry” than In “wet” territory. If we leave Omaha out of the calculation, we have over 24 per cent more Mving in “dry” than in “wet” distriets. Assuming that these figures and computations are correct, what better proof could be pregented that the local option feature of the Slocumb law, by which Nebraska has regulated and controlled the liquor traffic for néarly thirty years, is serving its purpose in every respect and vindicating that law as an. effective piece of legislative ma- chinery? Our present Slocumb law gives every incorporated eity, town and village the right to say whether the sale of liquor shall be licensed or not, and this right is being exercised continuously and lntsl]l:en?ly 4 1f the Slocumb law has produced the condi- tion of which the anti-saloon people are boasting, and has produced it without denying any community the right of deciding for itself to suit the majority, it cannot be so bad after all. The Bee's exposure of the demo- cratic forgery of last year as more fla- grant than the forgery of little boys' names, which he so strenuously de- nounced, does not seem to have af- fected Edgar Howard in the same way. In Edgar's eyes forgery com- mitted in the interest of nonpartisan democratic candidates for office and paid for out of the democratic cam- paign fund, is excusable and justifia- ble. . If we are overrun with too many poorly prepared doctors it must be the fault of the doctors who prepare them. The people to reform the medical schoolg are the medical men them- selves. It should be noted in passing, however, that both the medical schools at Omaha have passed muster with the exacting inspection of the rep- resentatives of the Carnegie founda- tion. What an awkward dilemma for our democratic congressman from this dis- trict in having the postal savings bank bill come in with three committee re- ports, two of them presented by demo- cratie minority members opposing the pill. Will he insurge by voting for a republican administration measure? Or will he stay regular by lining up with the democratic opposition? The ultimatum of the state univer- sity authorities to the Omaha school board that our' high school students will noc be accredited for the course in agriculture unless it installs a laboratory department for teaching agriculture does not need a diagram. Who is it the university pedple want to recommend for the job? That democratic at love Broken Bow had no cablegram from At the last democratic feast |the Peerless. love feast held at Red Cloud Mr. Bryan's greetings were tossed In the waste basket unread, and he evidently has come to the conclusion that the only sure way to get a hearing is to hire his own hall. The charge of the Illinois Central that it has been defrauded by its own officials of more than $2,000,000 in four years on padded repair work bills may point the way for our rallroads to catch up on the high cost of living without taking it out on the shippers by increasing freight rates. whdse Drincipal stock-in-trade, case of a bold mariner daring a AR AU & sl A o b i A WA 3 e im0 < it s e e OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, ing the new king and queen amidst| Our local democratic contemporary, in season and out, is calamity howling, tempestuous sea, while today this tide | cartoons the railroads as calling the of party sentiment is lashing the shores | calamity howlers out to assist them in | pacific four years age JUNE 8§, 1910, strengthening their greedy grasp upon |the throat of commerce.

A congressman, inspired by the discussion of the president's traveling expenses, thinks that the members of the legislative branch should have their expenses paid while trav- eling about to see the country. As they are now paid about six times the cost of rallroad fare for coming to congress and going back home it looks it the margin would support considerable diversions from the direct line. —_— Smuggling Comes High. Philadelphia Bulletin, Another man of wealth and prominence in his home state has been fined for attempting to smuggle dutiable goods past the customs inepectors. The defendant this time is a banker from Minnesota, and he was caught with two undeclared pearl necklaces in his back pocket. The duty amounted to $2,500 and it was thought that the Federal judge before whom he was convicted would assess that amount as the fine. Instead, the judge\doubled it, so that the banker had to pay $5,000 for his “fun.” It is evident that the customs authorities are sharply on the job this year, and the courts have sustained them on each, occa- #lon when they have caught one of this class of rich smugglers. IDEAL AMERICAN SOLDIER. General Custer, His Career and His Monument, New York Sun, The statue of General George A. Custer unveiled at Monroe, Mich., represents him réining up his horse on the brow of a hill while reconnoitering during the civil war, the target of the enemy's line, which from admiration of his gallantry withheld its tire, There was not a more soldierly and attractive figure on either gide in the great wa From West Point Custer went straight to the battlotield, and as a Major- General of Volunteers at twenty-five he could say in a farewell order to the Third Division: During the last six months, though in most Instances confronted by superior num- bers, you have eaptured from the enemy in open batile 111 pleces of artillery, sixty- tive battle flags, and upward of 10,000 pris- oners of war, including seven general offi. cers.

Proposed Tax Levy of Two Hundred Million Dollars on the People. Indianapolis News. There is both a comical and a serious sida to the threat or hint of the rallroads that if they are not allowed to raise their rates, “at least $200,000,000, which they had tentatively arranged to spend in replace- ments, must now be used to stave off ruln,’ and that hard times will be the total result. Whose money would this be? The answer to that constitutes the com- ical side of the proposition. Is it the money that the roads are now making? Are they going to reduce some of their swollen salaries or reduce some of their dividends? Oh, dear, no! This $200,000,000 Is & fresh levy of the people’s money. It is the amount that the roads expéetey to force shippers to pay in addition to the amounts that they now pay, and which, of course, in the end in collected off all the people. So the proposition is: “If you do not hand over a lot of money we shall punish you by making hard times.” That points to” the serious side of the statement. ‘The idea that the rallroads or any other concerns in the country shall have what they want in & tax on the peopls or else threaten them with “hard times” indicates that our Caesar has been feeding on too rich meat. Until the first questioning of rates and rebates a few years ago, the rallroads of this coun- try exercised autocratic sway. Twelve men meeting in secret in Liberty street, New York, decreed what the American people should pay for common carriage; and if they did not like it they could lump it. Now, those days have passed The rallroads may not perhaps think o, but they are mistaken. The Illinois Man- ufacturers' assoclation, for example, con tradlets simultaneously this last threat of the roads. But the main point is simply this: The people of this country are going to run it. They will have to travel a long | way to do 1t, but they are headed in the right direction, Another thing that gracefully realize, and people do not mean to hurt them. Both St. Paul and Aesop long ago told the world of the foolishness of the varlous members of the body quarreling with one another—the hand because it was not the | head, and the foot because it was not the |nand. Raliroads are, Indeed indispens- able to prosperity and civiiization. But tho day has gone when they alone can say what share they shall have and punish the country if they do not get it the roads could that {8 that the Our Birthday Book \ June 8, 1910.

The most extensive campalgn yet uhder- taken by the New York Board of Health for saving the lives of bables during the hot summer months Is now under way Sixty different private agencies and chari- table organizations will co-operate with 161 doctors and 142 nurses employed by the city, and the leaders of the compaign con- fidently expect to surpass the twenty per cent reduction in the infant mortality ree- ord scored during July and August last vea The campaign is in charge of the Divis- fon of Child Hyglene, whose head is Dr 8. J. Baker, and the office looks like the staff tent of an army on maneuvers— maps flagged to represent every death last summer, maps by districts for the nurses, and ward maps. Charts of all Kinds are ready, on which each move is planned. There are dally reports and weekly esti- mates, which the doctors in charge follow as closely as a broker does the fluctuations of the stoek market Besides the house-visiting there will be Instructional work in nearly 200 centers, These are recreation plers, centers, play- grounds, and in many cases charitable or- ganizations equip their officers with the hecessary apparatus for the baby-clinie, and offer their use.

A circus feat by Oscar Moll, & machinist employed by a motor car company, with a garage at Broad and Green streets, stopped & runaway and averted possible injury to children playing on the streets and to Fred Lister, the son of a caterer, on Longshore street, who was in the wagon. Moll was driving an automobile out Tor- resdale avenue In demonstrating it to a prospective customer, when young Lister sped by In the wagon, calling for ald, Speeding his machine ahead of the runa- way, Moll fearlessly swung himself upon it, climbed over the top and down to the seat, and recovered the tangled lines by reaching down among the flying hoots. The boy was badly frightened, Moll who is 2L years old, and lives on Arch street near Sixteenth, received an ovation from passersby who witnessed his act of daring. A strange looking man did all kinds of stunts in the footpath of the Willlamsburg bridge on the Brooklyn side. He ascended girders, crawled along the iron pillars, and when policemen went after him he played hide-and-seek and managed to get away. Nothing was geen of him for a couple of hours. Then he showed up at the Eastern District hospital, where the violent ring- ing of the electric bell brought the night dttendants. When the door was opened a man rushed in and begged to be protected from the devil, who, he said, had pursued him relentlessly and was determined to get him In his clutches, The man, who proved to be Joseph Eigle, a cooper, 23 Kent avenue, became very violent, and it took several men to hold him down while medical treatment was ad- ministered. Louls Katz, 144 Forsyth street, a 14- year-old boy, who was arrested with an older boy for attempting to pick pockets, was in Children's court charged with be- ing wayward. He told Judge Hoyt that his father had driven him from home and that when he met the other boy and was told how he could get a meal easily, he went out picking pockets. “Do you know how Hoyt." “Sure I do.” Justice Hoyt, who had some friends sit- ting with him, asked the boy to step back of the bench. “How do you work fob pockets, vest Ppockets and upper coat pockets?' asked the justice. The boy folded his arms, edged up against one of the justice's friends and smoothly plucked out a violet handkerchlef. “And how do you work a hip pocket or a #ide coat pocket?'" “Like this,” said Louls, and he lifted the pocket flap of a reporter, stuck two fingers in and drew forth two nickels and & dime. “I find you guilty,” sald Justice Hoyt, “and I'll remand you to the Gerry society. | asked Justice The Night and Day bank on Fifth ave- nue, which announced that its doors would always be open, Sundays and holidays ex- cepted, has now decided to close from midnight until § a. m.

Yet the same teacher or school president may advertise his school once a month in a magazine and im- agine that people will know all about his school. The same principle un- derlies both teaching and advertising. The cfild learns to spell by seeing the combinations of letters day after day. The public learns the merits of goods and becomes famillar with it by fre- quent repetition of argument.

Kearney Hub: Governor Shallenberger, { Banker, favoring resirictions on the num- | ber ot banks, is a very good imitation of an | anti-monopoly monopolist Fairbury News: Governor Harmon is now the subject of Mr. Bryan's virturpera- {tion in the Commoner, all because he has {been suggested as a possible democratic candidate for president. A statesman who would maintain Mr. Eryan's respect must cast ambition to the winds. York Times: Personally ex-Governor Mickey was clean, and in business upright, and his example was wholesome in the com- munity in which he spent nearly all of his adult life. He leaves a considerable fortune to his family, but his richest legacy is a good name, the result of an honorable car- reer. Rushvlile Standard: Aliiance has lost out in its foollsh and Inconsistent attempt to prevent the normal school from being lo- cated at Chadron. The action taicen by the Alliance people was really contempt- ible, to say the least, and will not have a tendency to elevate them in the estimation of very many peope. Havell's Journal (Dem.): It dally comes more and more apparent that J. Bryan should enter the race for United States senatorship. With Bryan leading o be w. | there would |be snap and ginger in the| campaign an@l victory at the end. With Hitchcock it would be a drag from the start with the result in doubt. Oakland Independent: Ex-Governor John H. Mickey passed away at his home in Osceola. During his incumbency of the gov- ernor's office he had many difficult prob- lems to handle, and there has been much criticlsm of some of his @cts, but in the main we belleve he acted in good faith and that the most of these critiolsms came from those who were friendly to the lquor in- terests and thelr allies. Hastings Republican (Dém.): The anti- saloon league must be pretty rotten when Frank Harrison, secretary of the Ne- braska County Option league, hands it a red hot roast in his Nebraska State Capl- tal. He denounces anti-saloon league as a grafting, money-collecting machine. When Frank insurges against Messrs Poulson, Lufiden, Darnell, et al, the situ- atlon must be very, very bad. Kearney Times: The State Press asso- clation did a very commendable thing in appointing & committes to assist the Com- mercial clubs’ assoclation committee in ad- vertising Nebraska. This state is very little exploited in the east and its re- sources ars such us to make it worthy of the best advertising. If these two com- mittees will get busy thousands of peo- ple will be attracted to this state. Alma Record: The campalgn thunder used by the present state administration to secure votes was for economy and re- Quced taxes.
