he had conducted earlier. At his death
he left a fortune at least 100 times greater
than the sum fixed In his boyhood days,
he gave employment to a large number OF
people. he made partners OF his brothers,
and as his sons grew to the age of man
hood they were taken into the company.
He leaves a great establishment, capable
Of making all its principal stockholders
richer by far than he thought he would be
when he set out to make money.
The life OF the packer Is also an Illus.
tration OF the allurements as well as the
possibilities Of a business calling in this
country. Gustavus Swift must have thought
many times Of the maximum fortune he
had prepared himself to make when a boy,
but It is doubtful whether he ever again
set a limit for himself. He was a very
generous giver, but his ~accumulations show
that the passion for money was very great,
He might have given to the city Of Chi
cago Just as great a benefaction in the
way Of a great industry, and he might
have done as much for his family and his
relatives by a less arduous devotion to the
accumulative purpose, and he certainly
would have done more for himself.
Mr.. Swift, like so many men who have
established and maintained great indus
trial or commercial concerns, died before
he covered the allotted time Of sturdy con-
/ stitutions. The brief biographies that have
appeared showing his intense application
to business, make one wonder that he stood
the strain as long as he did. The chances
are that from a purely personal standpoint
he would have enjoyed life more and would
have lived longer in that enjoyment II he
had stuck to his boyhood resolution. But
that would not have been human nature.
Whether the purpose be business reputa-
ton, artistic or professional distinction
or the mere accumulation Of money, the
way Of the ambitious is to overtax the
physical and mental machines.

VAST RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

The improvements that are being made
scale and they denote the confidence Of
railway anage in the future of trans
portation. One of a party Of English
railroad officials who are examining the
railway systems of this country has ex-
pressed amazement at the amount Of
money hat is being put into improve
ments, expressing a fear that the time
will come when American railroad man
agements will have trouble in paying
returns on the expenditures that are be
ing made. He thought that more con-
servatism now would prevent many
bankruptcies in the future, yet he found
railroad managers here to have un-
bounded faith in the maintenance of ex-
listing conditions.
The great improvements which Amer
lean railroads are making are certainly
of much present benefit to the country.
The large expenditures make a material
contribution to the general prosperity.
The confidence in the future that they
denote on the part Of the shrewd and
able men at the head of our railroad sys
TENS will probably prove not to be mis-
taken. 1t is to be expected, of course
that there will come a time. possibly not
remote, when railroad traffic will not be
so great as at present, but the outlooh
for a continuance of large transportation
business is certainly favorable. II the
shippers of the country, who are paying
for the Improvements, shall ultimately
get compensatory benefit, the expendl
ture will have been amply justified.

eItN ron oRnArizrD LABOR.

There is good reason for the view e
pressed by sore Of the labor leaders
that the decision Of Judge Adams in the
Wabash case is a gain for organized la
Dor. II is a gain especially in the rec
ignition II gives of the right of the Off
GERS Of labor organizations, when duly
authorized, to represent such organizn-
lions in the statement of grievances and
in efforts to have the grievances rem
edied. The complaint of the railroad
company was directed against the ac-
ton Of the officers Of the Brotherhoods of
Locomotive Firemen and Railroad
Trainmen. 1t was shown that these Off
GERS acted In pursuance of authority
conferred upon them by their respective
organizations and the court held that
this was ample warrant for what they
did. 1t is also a gain for organized Ia
Dor In recognizing the right of the en-
ployes Of the railroad to leave that en-
ployment i'm a body If they elect to do
so. 1t is a further gain In The implied
declaration that It is not a conspiracy
for men in labor organizations to agree
upon a course of action looking to the
correction Of grievances and the i'm
provement of their condition.
All this is manifestly important The
question of the recognition Of organized
labor is no longer in controversy. 1t has
been determined by federal and state
courts and sanctioned by the highest
national authority, executive and 'legis-
lative. The right of men to unite and
organize for mutual protection and bet
terment has been firmly established and
perhaps will never again be seriously
disputed. AS to the obligations and re-
sponsibilities of organized labor there
may still be some points to be settled
judicially, but in regard to these there
is a very sound and comprehensive def
milton in the report Of the anthracite
strike commission. Organized labor
must respect the law and the order Of
society. 1t must not interfere with the
freedom of ~unorganized labor. "a labor
or other organization" said the COM
mission, whose purpose can only be ac-
complished by the violation of law and
order of society, has no right to exist"
Another declaration is equally signif-
cant: "Our language is the language of
a free people and fails to furnish any
form of speech by which the right of a
citizen to work when he pleases, for
whom he pleases and on what terms he
pleases can be successfully denied" Sc
long as organized labor employs only
fair, legitimate and honorable methods
for strengthening itself and lettering Ia.
Dor conditions it will have the approval
and support of public opinion and will
grow in influence.
There has been a decided advance II
popular education during the last few
years respecting the rights and priv
leges, as well as the duties and respon
sibilities, of organized labor. We are
getting nearer to a complete and JUS
understanding of it's legal obligation,
and its relations to public interests
With the growth of this enlightenment
there will certainly come a clearer an
prehension of what is necessary to Sc
cure and preserve industrial peace.

WESTERN IRRIGATION PLANS.
Magnificent Projects i'm Dimension
and Probable Cost.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Secretary Hitchcock is beginning TO re-
alize that irrigation of arid lands is a
more costly project than was imagined
when congress passed the Marlborough bill.
The schemes embraced in that bill are a
bagatelle compared with the whole project,
but they are sufficient to furnish some idea
of the ~stupendous enterprise upon which
the government must embark II 1t con-
tinues this policy When the bill was
passed the estimate OF the cost per acre
was S., while now, 1t is conceded that It
cannot be less than $12, and may be much
more. When the original price OF the land
Is added, 1t must be obvious that not many
bonahde settlers will be in a position to
purchase.
1t is also discovered that irrigation by
private corporations and individuals has
been done much cheaper than the work
under the government. This is accounted
for by the fact that private enterprise has
been undertaken only where II promises to
be profitable, and has secured all the best
sites. This would seem to suggest the
wisdom OF leaving the whole undertaking
to private enterprise. Tn initial scheme
Of the government c~ontemplates the irri-
cation of about 1900, 900 acres at points as
far apart as the Canadian border and the
Desert of Arizona. At the figures quoted
above this will cost about $40, 000, 900, but
this acreage, compared to the vast region
to be irrigated, is scarcely more than a
drop In a bucket. Some Of the plans are
magnificent. 6ivers are to be diverted and
made to flow in an opposite direction into
another river. The St. Marys river is only
to be partially diverted, because It lows
through Canada, and its loss might make
the Canadian ugly. Huge tunnels are to
be bored for six miles through solid rock.
This is undoubtedly a magnificent project
thoroughly calculated to excite the imagi-
nation and arouse the admiration. Nothing
like It has been seen in the world In
ancient or modern times, but 1t will be
we'll for the public not to examine it toc

being made to arouse the people, par
ticularly in the agricultural districts, to
the danger which lies in a possible col
lisicn with a rival naval power. 1t is
sought 10 stimulate the farmers TO devote
a larger acreage to wheat and go more
literally into the business of cattle-rais-
ing. No very great improvement in the
situation, however, could be made in
this way, since the productive capacity
Of the United Kingdom cannot be very
materially increased. Perhaps the dan
ger is not exaggerated and at any rate
it should be a strong incentive to the
exertion Of British influence in behalf
of the worlds peace.

POLICE


When w. j. Broatch and his side part
ners on the police board allowed the
druggists and liquor dealers of Omaha
10 be held up by the Omaha fakery to
the tune Of about $500 last December
they had a right to expect that the
favor would be reciprocated. This ex-
plains why the World-Herald tries to
make light Of the indefensible course
pursued by the commission In the mp
pointment and promotion of police Off
GERS who had scandalized the service
years ago and should by rights have
peer barred from ever again being al
lowed . wear a policeman's uniform.
The fact that the Infamous conduct Of
these men had been committed years
ago does not make their reappointment
by the present commission less Often
sive. The malodorous record Of Captain
Haze and former Chief Sigwart was
brought to the attention of the commits
sion at the very outset, before they had
entered upon the reorganization Of the
police force, and the board therefore
could not plead the baby act as an ex-
cuse for reinstating these men in the
service.
The story of the Blair can-can dance
may b. an old chestnut, but that licen-
tious public exhibition should have been
a bar against the reappointment of men
who took a conspicuous part in it. The
story of the Day and Reichenbach cases
may be an old chestnut, but the appoint
ment to a police captaincy of a man
who was indirectly responsible for the
tragic incident by which a hayward girl
lost her life and another hayward girl,
who had beer sentenced to the reform
school, was remanded to a life of shame
cannot be too severely censured.
But these are by no means the only
striking examples of sham reform in
Omaha. The selection of George
| Stryker, who had been dismissed by the
county board from the superintendency
of the county poor farm, to be police In
spector Of pawnshops is equally repre-
hensible and i~ndefensible.
But you can't expect to make a silk
purse out of a sow's ear. Nobody ia
miliar with the methods of w. ]
Broatch and his ideals of police govern
ment has been in the least surprised al
the dismissal or degradation Of compe
tent, faithful and clean police officers
and the unemployment of men whose
records show. them to be dishonest
vicious and unclean.

ENGLAND'S room PROBLEM.

According to reports from American
consuls in England great interest con-
tinues TO be manifested there in the
question of a food supply for the United
Kingdom in time Of war. About a
month ago a d%eputation Of prominent
men called upon Premier Balfour and
urged the appointment OF a special com
mission to inquire into the question of
security of the food supply in the event
Of war with some. naval power. The
premier expressed the opinion that the
danger which would have to be met was
not the exclusion Of grain and raw ma
terials necessary for the country's sub
sistence, but the cost Of introducing
them. He thought the country could
get all it wanted II it was prepared to
pay the price. These views, however,
