THE CuDAHY VERDICT.

7 While the public outside of the city OF
Omaha may not be regarded as qualified
TO pass on the justice or injustice of the
Cudahy verdict there is ample justiflca-
ton for the public refusal to accept that
verdict to be found in the unqualified
condemnation which it received at the
hands of the presiding judge.
3 Enough has been gathered through the
press reports to enable the person Of or
binary intelligence to sympathize pro-
foundry with the remarks of the court
1t has appeared that the voice of the kid
naper was thoroughly identified by the
boy Cudahy and that the connection Of
the accused with the transaction and
with the man supposed to be the head of
the gang of kidnapers was established
by Independent evidence How even
jury Of less than the ordinary intelli-
gence could have rendered such a YER
dict must naturally be subject of sur
prise.
No doubt some vulgar prejudice entered
into the case on the part of the jury
against Mr.. Cudahy on account Of his
reputed wealth. On no other theory does
it seem possible to offer explanation of
the rendering of a verdict so entirely
against the weight of evidence as to
arouse the ire of the presiding judge to
the extent which prevailed in this case.
The verdict is in itself unfortunate
aside from the defendant and those who
are said to be associated with him. The
failure to arrest the robbers in this case.
and to secure conviction of the one Of
them whom the authorities claimed to
have captured. will do doubt help to give
a serious impetus to that form of crime.
The general public will, however, rejoice
that what has been palpably failure Of
justice has been SO publicly denounced as
such by the acting Judge.

Mile Slowly advancing, never retreating,
the sterile sands have crept upon the
domain of the Pharaohs, burying fields,
hamlets, cities. The Nile. the only friend
Of the human race In this battle with the
desert. has struggled year by year to
redeem the lost estate, but SO far the
struggle has been In vain, for the desert
possessed a powerful ally in the upper
regions of the Nne-au ally as persistent
and as tireless as the shifting sands
The days of Egypt's bondage are, how
ever, well nigh passed. Science, guided
by the energy of English engineers and
English capital, has come to the slowly
retreating Nile which will soon be able
to turn back the advancing desert upon
itself and recreate the Egypt Of 1900
years ago.
The sud- Of the upper Nile has been
forming for centuries. Vast islands Of
earth and vegetation have been Ioosened
from their moorings in times of flood and
foated to the channel where joined by
others they have formed a compact and
impossible barrier for all things that
float During the years this obstruction
has changed and solidified until the nat
ural channel of the ancient river became
so choked for a period of 300 miles that
only part of the rivers flow could find
Its way in a semi subterranean channel

suit has been the formation of vast la
goons and reaches of marsh and swamp

from these wastes of water backed I'D
by the sud- amounts to une-tenth of the
entire flow Of the Nile, besides preventing
at times of freshets the annual overflow
of the river which constituted ancient
Egypt's guarantee of prosperity. With
the growth Of these formations the flow
of the Nile has been steadily reduced.
making possible the encroachments of
the desert upon the once rich portions of
this cradle of civilization.
The London Telegraph tells of the
work OF Maj Peake, who has already cut
through the sud-. opening up a chan
mel from one hundred to four hundred
feet wide. Where the work has been
done the sud- was twenty feet thick
with sixteen feet Of water beneath. The
opening of the channel was accomplished
by cutting two parallel bitches through
the Cry portion when the force of the
accumulated waters behind and beneath
forced the loosened section down stream
leaving channel as wide as the dis
tancc between the parallel bitches
Since the opening of the channel the
water in the Nile at Wadelia $50 miles
above the obstruction, fell six feet. And
rs soon as the obstruction can be re-
moved from the mouths of tributary
rivers in the congested regions and when
the lakes formed by the sudd can be
opened TO the channel the pristine glory
CT tho Egyptian Nile will be restored.
This great enterprise in conjunction with
the Assouan dam will furnish lower
Egypt with abundant, water and at the
times most needed. Another important

SMASH THE S

10.
The organization of a new Trades Coun-
ell in Chicago is apparently q good omen
for peace in the future of industrial life
in that city. The defeat of the st. Paul
painters in their recent effort to inaugu-
rate a strike emphasizes the necessity OF
complete reformation in the prevailing
standards of cooperative action among
union workmen as represented by the
idea of central building council.
The sympathetic strike is q scourge. It
has been discarded by the members Of
the crafts which are regarded as requir-
ing higher order of intelligence on the
part Of those who follow them It has
been the cause OF the defeat and posi-
BILE disintegration Of the local union
painters. 1t is form Of Industrial
blackmail and its practice ought to be
treated by workman and employer alike
as crime.
Unions among workingnen, so far as
they operate to prevent injustice on the
held So far as they tend to the eleva-
ton of the standards of thought and Of
life generally among laborers they are
humanitarian in scope. So far as they
among employers and employees the law
should, If necessary, be called upon to
deal with them.
The G o e, in discussing the sympa-
thetio strike, has already declared
its belief that central labor
councils are all right within
their true scope. The men Of one
craft have an absolute right to aid those
of another In preventing exaction or Sc
curing established rights. They should
go to the limit Of their financial re-
when on strike, If they are satisfied Of
the justice Of the claims contended for.
But they have no right to engage in
strikes or to threaten to engage In strikes
or to cause trouble for their employers
with view to enabling the men of an
other craft to enforce a given demand,
with or without reference to the justice
Of that demand.
At this distance it Is not safe to as
sumo too much regarding the new central
labor council which the press dispatches
say has just been formed in Chicago. In
one Of it's objects at least it Will be found
to have secured the public confidence and
approval. That Is In the avowed pur-
pose Of breaking down the sympathetic
strike
The union lalborers of Chicago, especial
ly those engaged In the building trades,
strong organization is no longer a factor
in the adjustment of the relations OF en-
ployers and employees They gave their
sustainment to4a central body controlled
by dangerous men who never showed
that they had any real understanding
Of their great obligations either to So
ciety or to the artisans and organ;za-
ton which they represented. If the new
BODY should prove to be one organized
for the purpose of the further disruption
Of the men of the building trades who
believe IN unionism they have themselves
to blame. They gave their sanction
| during last summer to conduct on the
part of the central union which showed
it in the light of public firebrand
Let union workmen unite and affiliate
as closely as they can. They owe it to
themselves, however. to take steps to
make the sympathetic strike an impos-
sibility.

NOT ALL CLAIMED FOR THEM

From the press reports which have been
published from time to time it now ap-
pears that the Canadian government In
securing the transportation to Canada Of
several hundreds of the sect known as
tho Doukhobors did not do as successful
a piece OF business as it thought it had
done. The Doukhobors are the men who
refused to take up arms at the command
of tic governmental authority. Count
ToI5toi has helped to secure for them
q great deal of admiration and sympathy
all the world over. They have been held
out to be men of exceptional intelligence,
sobriety and industry, and to be rebels
for conscience sake against tho worst
evils represented by the monarchical.
and especially the autocratic, principle in
civil government.
Now 1t appears that the Doukhobors
are not the long-suffering mortals they
are represented as being, nor that the
Russian government in provoking their
expatriation was acting in any particu-
larry severe or irresponsible manner
They have strong convictions as to re-
ligion and social life. These opinions are
so out of touch with the accepted tenets
Of Christian and civilized life as to make
them something OF nuisance In their
adhesion to such opinions. They do not
believe. for instance. that civil govern
ment should be sustained, since they have
no respect for laws which are not direct
ly ordained by God They oo not believe IN
