unconscious and pulseless, and after was insen-

performed all his bodily functions naturally.
About o'clock that morning he was seized
with congestve chill, which proved
too much for the already weaken

THE STREET RAILROAD PRO
JECT

The project of another street rail
road for Omaha seems to be meeting
with a great deal of favor from our
citizens, and should such a proposition
be submitted to the people, it would
undoubtedly carry by a large MAORI
ty. The wholesale discourtesy and
lack of enterprise which has marked
the conduct of the present horse rail.
way management has made a good
opening for competition, and a new
line, taking in the limits of the city
and extending its operation to Hans
com park would doubtless be a paying
investment. But before the privilege is
granted to any new corporation to oc.
cupy u public thoroughfares, the
city council should take the greatest
care to throw around the concession
every safeguard for the protection of
the public interests. Privileges for
street railroads in large cities are
among the most valuable of municipal
grants. A Philadelphia paper gives
the following exhibit of the capital
stock and dividends of street railroads

1t is most edifying to read in the
Omaha BEE an elaborate defense of
Chauncey M. Depew, the railroad at
torney, now running for United States
senator in New York, coupled with
the declaration that because a lawyer
is retained by a railroad, it is no sign
that if he is elected to Office he will be
the tool of q railroad. 1t is absolute
ly true of every honest lawyer in the
land, but it is unusually refreshing to
read it in a sheet of the BEES calibre
and character. Let it be remembered.
- Lincoln Journal.
The BEE has made no defense of
Chauncey M. Depew, o has it pub
lished any such a statement as that
credited to 1t by the Lincoln Journal.
This paper is opposed to Mr., Depew's
candidacy on the ground that all his
past affiliations have been with the
m%onopolies, and it has expressed that
opposition a score of times
during the present The
BEE quoted the New York
Times, a paper which is equally OPP
posed to Mr.. Depew's election as the
senator from New York, in order to
show that in some of the strongest
anti-monopoly journals of the country
Mr. Depew and MI. Conkling were
both placed on the same level as hay
ing been retained by corporations, to
defend their interests against those of
the people. We do not believe that
Chauncey M. Depew is a necessity.
AS We have said before, there are a
score of republicans in New York fully
as able as Mr.. Depew, and with a
clearer record ON the great question
of the day, who would fill Mr.. Conk-
li~ng'splace at Washington with greater
credit to the republican party and the
Empire state.
But why are the two republican
monopoly papers Of Nebraska SO yio-
lently in favor of the return of Sena-
tor Conkling. Why is every western
journal in the pay Of the great cor
porations and who, like the Lincoln
Journal and the Omaha Republican,

THE failure of the Grand Central
Hotel scheme, which was rumored
some weeks ago, is now made certain.
The Kitchen Bros. have announced
theirinabilityt ocarry out the contract,
and have informed the successors of
the hotel company that they are ready
to turn the property over at a reason
able valuation to any parties who will
erect a hotel upon it. This action of
the Messrs. Kitchen is right and Just.
When the first announcement Of the
failue of the plan was made, this
paper was beset with requests to"show
up" the Kitchens and expose
what was believed to be a
scheme to gobble up the property de-
noted by our citizens for hotel
purposes. While all the circum-
stances looked suspicious we were
more than half inclined to wait for
further developments and the out
come has proved the wisdom of our
course.
Now that a clear and unincumbercd
title can be given to this magnificent
location for a hotel it is to be hoped
that active measures will at once be
taken to secure the erection of a
building in every respect as large and
handsome as the old Grand Central.
There is ample room in Omaha for
two first class hotels. The new
"Millard" will find it's accommoda-
tons strained before the close of its
first year. With the present population
of our city two hotels, of the first
class would find n large and paying
patronage. But when we take into
consideration the rapid growth of
Omaha, which is manifesting itself in
every branch of business and in n
wonderful increase of population, it
will readily be seen that within two
years time our present and prospective
hotel accommodations will be totally
inadequate.
1t is therefore pleasing to the BEE
to that steps are already in
progress to secure upon the old Grand
Central site a new hotel in every re-
spect commensurate with the impor-
lance of Omaha. The matter is in
the hands of men who do not propose
to let it drop until it is an accom-
plished fact.

There is no civilized country
in the world where serious ques.
ton is made of it. To the ordinary
mind it can only appear IS an absurd
ity that a corporation created by the
state and exercising a public fran
chise granted to it by the state for a
specific purpose and with a view to
public benefit should be at liberty to
abuse its privileges and virtually plum
der and Cypress the community while
the state is incapable of exercising au-
thority over it and compellingi it to re-
gard the Obligations which accompany
the use of public rights and functions.
The people care little for the legal
discussion, simply because they have
no manner of doubt regarding the
rights and powers of the state to do
what ought to be done IN the pre-
misses.
The question of living interest is
not what can the state do, or what are
the legal limits of its power in dealing
with corporations, but what is it nee
essary or expedient to do. Here is a
discussion that is by no means ex-
hausted, and one in which all intelli-
gent people take an interest. There
is growing more and more every day a
vague dread of the power of corpora
tions to which privileges have been
granted by public law. 1t is felt
that a time may come when the
people will have to grapple with this
power and wrench its clutches
from the institutions of the country.
1t is not only absorbing to itself the
fruits of labor and the grain of trade
and pilling up wealth in the hands of
the few, but it Is controlling legisla-
ton and endeavoring to sway the de-
cisions of courts in its own interest.
We are nov at a stage in the contest
where the people may vindicatc their
authority and place these opportuni-
ties under the regulation of law with
out a struggle. They need to be con-
vinced of the occasion for doing this
and to be guided to the best method
of doing it, but to argue to them that
they have the right to do it is a waste
of breath. OF this there is no doubt.

The average of the dividends paid
by the companies was 1G % per cent.
but some Of the companies paid divi,
dends of over 80 per cent. on the
capital invested. There were 90, 1914,

maintaining and operating the roads
of so, 1914, 903; from all other sources,
1852, 064 total receipts, 81, 947, 1867.
The difference between receipts and

lion to be devoted to taxes, interest
and expenses before dividends were
declared.
While in Omaha it is not to be ex-
pected that the receipts for a number
of years will equal those of the Phlla-
delphia companies, still such earnings
and profits strongly suggest that such
concessions are a valuable considera-
ton which cities should not part with
