AMERICA AND THE TURK,

At meeting held in New York last
week to protest against the policy pur-
sued by the Turkish government toward
the Armcnans. one of the resolutions
adopted urges our government to make
very possible effort to induce the gov

selves from their apathy and put an

of their merciless foes, is shame to
civilization and cannot be too strongly
condemned. 1t Is well that the voice
of Christian America be raised in pro-
test against Turkish atrocities and ap-
peal to the powers of Europe to do
their duty and protect the Christian
subjects of the porte. But 1t is another
matter when our government Is urged
to interpose in this business and iden-

condition of affairs existing In the Otto

do this 1t is probable that its influence
would not be very great, but in any
event this government could not take

risk of becoming involved in an entang-

doubt that the Washington authorities
are fully alive to their duty regarding

she will continue to drink about so much of

insist that she sell her barley all to owners
OF breweries in other cities, other states, for

lodge in those other towns the profits and
pay rolls that might be kept here, to force
our farmers to sell for little less money, and
to give the difference to the railroads in

Des Moines Leader: In the corncribs of
Iowa this winter will be stored more corn
than ever before In the history of the state.
There are more buyers in the field and more
crib room has been provided. Common
sense teaches the specuator that the pres
ent prices Of corn are not permanent. They
are below the cost of production even in SO
fertile a state as Iowa, The speculator is
sure there will be rise in prices in the
spring, and Is anxious to be In position to
take advantage of 1t. Thereby bull infiu-
ence is introduced, which will become more
and more effective. The speculator is often
abused and rghtfully, but nevertheless in
good public service. He is a bulwark
against the bottom completely falling out of
prices The speculator, when buying, OF
course. tries to get the most for the least,
but when he has accumulated a stock he
becomes of incalculable benefit to other corn
owners. His interest, his intelligence, his
financial strength are enlisted on the side of
better prices, and the bears of the market
meet a foeman worthy OF their best steel.
Prices for agricultural products are already
too low in Iowa. but doubtless would be
lower were 1t mot for the resource of the
speculator discounting the future.

The process is this: A company whose le-

lege Of maintaining dining car service, to

IN 4 FALSE ATTITUDE.

The representatives of the Bun llington,
Milwaukee and lock !slanl railroads
disclaim on the part Of ;hei" respective
companies any disposition to block the
way of the metropolitan union depot
project of the Omaha Bridge and Ter
minal company. They say that their
refusal to euter into the joint agreement
with the other railroads is matter of
business purely and should in N way
he construed as ;n act of hostility to
the union depot project 0" to the city of
Omaha.
These assurances are. however, in Ce-
cided contrast with the action which
these roads have taken. Had they been
content simply with negative coUIse
in order to secure better terms from the
terminal company no fault would have
been found They have, on the con-
trary, pursued an aggressive course
They have not only refused to join With
the Union Pacific, Northwestern and
Missouri Pacific railroads on equal
terms, but they have taken steps to in
duce the United States circuit court to
ceivers of the Union Pacific have asked
the court to sanction. 1t is this
action that naturally rOuses resentment
among the people of Omaha. and espe-
cially those who patronize those three
roads. .r
The disclaimer of the representatives
of the Burlington, Milwaukee and Rock
Island railroads must be taken only for
what It is worth. II their roads have
been placed in a false attitude before
the community they will have no diff
Guilty to set themselves right All they
have to do is to withdraw their remon-
strances on file in the United States
court against the ratification of the con-
tract agreed upon between the receivers
of the Union Pacific and the Bridge and
Terminal company and follow this up
by change of front upon the COM
plants pending before the State Board
of Transportation. Nobody asks any
one of the three roads to forego any of
the rights or claims which they may
have acquired i'm previous contracts.
But they cannot justify themselves in
pursuing n dog-in- -the-manger policy by
which Omaha will be deprived in
definitely of adequate depot facilities.
They all cOncede that the completion Of
the Mason street depot under present
conditions Is an impOssibility and must
remain an impOssibilty so long as the
depot grounds are in litigation under the
Union Pacific Foreclosure proceedings
now in progress. The only solution of
the problem Is in the construction of
the proposed metropolitan union depot.
IL the representatives of the Rock
Island, Milwaukee and Burlington mean
what they say they will fall In line and
give Omaha the depot facilities that 1t
should have had lonS ago.
