Threatened Railway Strike. The issue between the railroad train and enginemen and the managers of the roads seems to be made up, and a deadlock reached, the solu- tion of which is to be referred to a general strike. So far has the matter proceeded that a definite hour for beginning the strike has been fixed. Whatever of principle may be involved as be- tween the men and the managers, their persis_— tency in clinging to the position assumed has gone to a point where public interests are concerned. The obvious fact that no matter which side wins in the end, the public is the chief sufferer, has been before the committees all the time, and while each has made appeal to the public for sympathy and support, neither has felt moved to concede a jot or tittle of demands made to the end that the public be protected in any of its rights. Now, if the ordered strike comes as promised, public opinion will hold both sides guilty. Proposals and counter-proposals have passed, but without an apparent effort to find the reasonable ground on which both men and managers could stand, at least, while a permanent adjustment could be formulated. What congress may do to avert the calamity is not plain. The several proposals outlined do not indicate the presence of an effective remedy. Ob- jection is raised by the men to compulsory arbi- tration, and by the managers to the eight-hour day as a basis for calculating wages. Should a law embodying these features be passed, its en- forcement would be a difficult matter. Seizure of the roads by the government is beyond the con- stitutional power of the president, unless he should take the advice of Senator Newlands, and declare a state of civil war. Tnis expedient is remote, even with immediate legislative action. Unless a change comes over the spirit of one or the other of the contestants, the strike, with all its serious consequences, appears inevitable. Shutting Out Little Grain Gamblers. A rule just adopted by the Omaha Grain ex- change will go far to eliminate the evil of gam- bling in food supplies. The controlling board has issued an order putting the margin on wheat deals at such a figure that the small bettors are com- pletely eliminated. While this step seems dis- criminatory, it is in the right direction. The board should follow it up with another rule that will do away with gambling entirely, and put the market on a legitimate business basis. Purchase of wheat or any other commodity for future de- livery, at a price that may have some relation to conditions existing at the time of delivery, neces- sarily partakes of the nature of speculation. So long as this is permitted, the element of chance can not be entirely eliminated. This form of dealing is quite legitimate, but the abuse to which it is subject quickly brings it into the worst form of gambling, that of betting if the price goes up or down, with the fictitious sale of billions of bushels of grain that does not exist, and deals being closed without regard to delivery of a ker- nel of corn or a grain of wheat. The new rule will do away with the participation of the small fry in this branch of the market, and is of service to that extent. — Weakness of the Farm Loan Plan. No man is better qualified to speak authori- tatively of the problems of the farmer of the United States than Henry C. Wallace of Des Moines. His life has been devoted to considera- tion of the economic and social aspects of the agricultural-industry, both through practice and in theory, and he knows whereof he talks or writes. His criticism of the farm loan law, just passed by the democratic congress and now sought to be put into operation, is that of one who understands what is required, and who knows how far the present measure falls short of reach- ing the farmers who really need help. “The law does not reach the spot,” says Mr. Wallace, who points out that as it is now framed it witkhelp only those who really ‘do not need help, and for whom the borrowing of money is already a simple matter. This is exactly the posi- tion The Bee has taken from the first. In all the consideration of this measure, the needs of the small farmer, the tenant, and the young man struggling to become an owner, have been ignored, and only the interests of the established land owner have been looked after. While the democrats have made great pretense of taking care of the farmer, and boast they have placed him on a level with the merchant and manu- facturer, they have done nothing of the sort. The merchant or manufactufer can borrow on their credit, while the farmer can only borrow on un- incumbered land, which must be appraised, and then only to 50 per cent of its value. The mer- chant or manufacturer can borrow on short time notes, but the farmer can not borrow for a shorter period than five years, The law as it stands will not help move crops, will not help out through the planting and grow- ing seasons, and will not give any help to. the “tenant farmer who is striving to become a land owner. In plain words, it is a mockery, .New State House Is Needed. With the old state house tumbling about his ears,” Governor. Morehead still hesitates to take the responsibility of recommending that a build- ing suitable for housing Nebraska's state govern- ment be erected. He will refer to the next legis- lature a proposal that the dilapidated and danger- ous east wing be torn down, and that a mere sub- stantial structure be erected, to become, in future time, part of a real state house. Why doesn't the governor come out frankly and tell his people what ke well knows, that the old capitol building is not only antiquated, but is actually dangerous; that it is expensive to maintain, because of its lack of appointments, and that it is entirely too small to properly house the different departments of the government? The next legislature will have to give careful consideration to the problem, and the governor should see that it is furnished with all available data, based on careful inquiry by qualified experts to the end that its work will be facilitated by having facts to start on. The Bee agrees with Governor Morehead that he has a more comfortable office in the state house than he does in Falls City; not a governor of Nebraska has ever occupied private quarters as spacious arid as well appointed as those furnished for him by the state. But this is no reason why other departments of the government should not be well provided for, and given safe, comfortable offices in a building that is designed for its pur- pose. ' — Some day, possibly, this great government of ours may give.a thought to the wetfare of city toilers struggling for a home, and consider them worthy of sharing pational “credit with farmers, Thought Nugget for the Day.

Avoca, Ia., Aug. 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: Momentous questions of paramount issue are before this na- tion today as never before in the his- tory of this republic. It was but recently when a war started in foreign countries where na- tions invoked divine aid to win their point. They were sn earnest in their belief that they were right that glis- tening steel and rusty shotguns were brought forth in evidence and mil- lions of unnumbered dead lie in un- marked graves as peace ‘‘memen- toes.” But this is across the ocean. Let's forget it. In the home land there are religious bodies who claim to be fight- ing satan's forces. They are going to organize that they may get proper recognition, and that, too, under a flag that we all love and once had a meaning peculiar to this nation. To the minds of many of us it was as the rainbow after the gentle and refresh- ing shower of springtime whose Cre- ator designed that never again should destructive flood encircle the earth. Sacred history tells us that a bra- zen serpent was lifted up for a be- knighted people in a wilderness. We can now draw on imagination and see that in the beauty of holiness, but we of today are stemming the ‘‘stem” of stern realities and must arise to conditions demanded by the age we live in.

Omaha, Aug. 27.—To the Editor ot The Bee: The nutrition laboratory of the Carnegie institute has come to the conclusion that past research work of scientific nature concerning alcohol is faulty and had better be done all over again. It declares there exists much speculation and theory and a minimum of verified facts, and that “ninety-nine words out of every 100 written have been inspired by prejudice on one side or ‘the other, rather than the plain, unvarnished truth.” The proofs of analogy and empiricism are not enough for science nowadays, and it demands identifica- tion by controls, etc. When Brown- ing affirmed “God Is in heaven, all's well with the world,” as a proposi- tion in deductive, speculative logic, inasmuch as the major premise is founded on a universal or self-evident truth, people say it must be so, al- though to the finite mind there is no positive evidence or as we say scien- tific evidence. That kind of old for- mal logic led to many a religious war. 8o, too, thus to make statements about alcohol in a priori fashion, like above, or by analogy or empirically, does not satisfy this generation.: One might declare constipation. to. be the cause of more of man's ills than all other causes combined and he would not be far from the fact.. But to make propositions stick it .will ‘take more than that kind of logic to prove. So with alcohol; it is said to be the | cause of rheumatism, gout, arterio- sclerosls, Bright's disease, headaches and a hundred other things. But by that kind of logic constipation can be MINNESOTA THE LAND OF HIAWATHA Your mnearest and best vacation land—almost straight north—with ten thousand lakes and hundreds of square miles of great pine woods; fishing the finest in the world, besides bathing, canoeing and tramping in the wpods: hotels, cottages, boarding houses or camps, whichever you prefer; you can get board and lodging for about $10 or $12 per week and frequently less.

Some people do not drink milk, for it “binds” the bow- els; some no coffee, for it makes them nervous and sleepless. No one ever accused alcohol in moderation of doing any of the three. Indeed, mahy use wine and beer to guard them against such infirmities. It would be hard to say which is worse, the chronic drunkard by al- cohol, or “drunk” by the poisons of one's own secretions; to be unhappy | tore and melancholy, sallow, aenemic, crabbed and for all ‘“envy, hatred, malice and all ‘uncharitableness.” What the institute is going over are the experiments of Atwater, showing alcohol to be a food in the sense somewhat like sugar and water, It produces heat and energy, but cannot be converted into bone and. muscle like the protein of meat, eggs, milk, etc. - The experiments of Chittenden and Reid, declaring it interfered with the function of the liver, by lessening its power to destroy poisons; its ac- | tion on digestion and whether it re- | tards appetite.
