 Judge Alston believes that in this time he can dispose of the heavy docket which had accumulated on ac- count of the Fourteenth Judicial Cir cult having been declared unconstitu- tional. This, of course, rendered in- valid numerous important indictments that had been procured while the coun- ty was a part of the Fourteenth Cir cult.

According 10 Mr.. Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
conditions in Porto Rico are deplorable,
He states that there is much poverty
and hunger among the people of the
island and that as consequence the la
boring classes are able to do but little
work and cannot be considered in the
employment upon great public under
taking.
There have been other reports from
the island of a similar nature, so that
we are compelled to believe that the
statement of Mr.. Gompers is not an ex.
aggeration. What should be done to
remedy the unfortunate situation is moi
suggested. but manifestly 1t demands
serious consideration on the part Of con
gress and the administration, to the end
that some measures be adopted for Civ
ing employment TO those who are able
and willing to work and relieving a sit
uation which 1t would be discreditabl,
TO the government to permit to continu,
day longer than a practicable remed,
can be found. There would seem TO b,
among the Porto Ricans more concerI
respecting their political future thar
their material welfare, perhaps on tn,
theory that a broadening OF polltica
privileges would result in greater indus
trial and commercial prosperity. At al
events, it win be reproach to our gov
eminent II the unfortunate conditions Il
Porto Rico are allowed to continue w
should be able to at least do as nue.
for the welfare of the islanders as wa
done under Spanish rule.

ENCOURAGING SIGNS.

At no time within its history have
there been more encouraging signs for
the continued expansion and prosperity
of Omaha and the contiguous cities and
towns that make up Greater Omaha.
Only within the past few weeks the
growth of several of our largest com
merclal institutions, in both retail and
iobblng districts, has practically burst
the bounds OF their housing facilities
and forced the erection of new and more
commodious buildings and warehouses
to accommodate them.
The announcement of new half
block of warehouse and factory con.
struction to take care Of a single whole
sale institution indicates that our bust
ness men are confidently counting on
the future and looking ahead to stead
lily enlarged trade activity. The crafty
ing part of the situation is. however,
that this growth is not confined to the
largest mercantile concerns, but per
meates in almost the same measure
through lue eHtlTt DuSlutbS NOlhh ~ =
being shared alike by big and little.
Our jobbing houses could not flourish
to the extent they do unless the retail
trade In this territory were similarly
thriving. and the retailer could not in
crease the volume of his sales were not
the individual consumer enjoying un-
nrecedenfed nrosDerity
This story Is told again, in different
words, in the exhibit just made by the
national banks of Omaha in response to
the comptroller's last call for a periodic
| financial statement The comparative
exhibit OF national bank resources and
liabilities now and year ago illustrates
graphically the procession of prosperity
In which the entire west is marching
and In which Omaha not only occupies a
conspicuous place. but is steadily gain
ing upon its commercial rivals.
The very fact that people already
here are pinning their faith to Omaha
in such a substantial manner cannot
fail to impress outsiders most favor
ably and help still further to attract
population and capital. omaha's rising
tide has by no means reached its full
height, but quite the contrary; there Is
nothing in sight to interrupt it's con
tlnued progress.

49, or : rrnLIoIrr nrREAr.

The announcement sent out a few
days ago that the railroad publicity
bureau, created 20 antagonize the rate
regulation policy OF President Roose-
welt, had been closed. caused no great
surprise. In connection with the an
nouncement was the statement that the
bureau had been very expensive TO the
different roads assessed. the cost being
estimated at nearly 100000. II was
probably all OF this amount. or even
more, and It is not astonishing that
under the continuous drain the railroad
managers should have decided that II
was inadvisable to keep up the so-called
publicity bureau.
The fact is. as has been pretty
clearly demonstrated, that the railroads
made a grave mistake in organizing
their bureau. Instead Of accomplish
ing anything for the cause which II was
intended to subserve. It has really
proved an injury to II. The effect OF
the literature sent out by the bureau
has not been 10 persuade the public that
the position OF President Roosevelt in
regard to rate regulation is wrong, but
rather to convince II, in view OF the ex-
treme anxiety and solicltude shown by
the railroads, that what the president
advocates is absolutely right, Whoever
has taken the trouble to study the care
fully prepared articles sent out by the
railroad bureau must have become con-
WINGED Of the shallowness and the in
adequacy Of the so-called arguments
presented. From first TO last the pleas
of the ingenious attorneys Of the rail
| roads have not sought TO meet the ques-
ton squarely and in fair and logical
way but have resorted to all sorts Of
conjectures and possibilities and techni-
| calltles I'm the effort to show that the
policy urged by the president would
result in great harm to the transporta-
ton interests OF the country and there.
] fore to all other interests.
The efforts OF the railroads in this
direction, which is said to have cost
them nearly $2,0OO,OOO, have not pro-
duced the results they hoped for and
expected They have not made very
much Of an impression upon pub
lie sentiment. 1t is pretty safe to say
that the converts to the railway side of
the rate controversy. made through the
railroad publicity bureau, are fewer in
number than those who through these
very arguments have seen the fairness
and Justice Of the demand for railway
rate regulation and thereby have been
made supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt's po
sltion.
The closing Of the railroad publicity
bureau does not mean, of course, that
the railroads contemplate stopping the
fight against rate regulation. They in
tend to keep up the contest but they
will carry It on through their represen
tatives in congress instead OF through
the newspapers. Still the abandonment
OF the bureau is a confession Of failur,
to influence popular opinion by thii
, method which is significant.

A Trick that Didnt work.


The railroads regret that they have spent
a couple OF million dollars trying 10 make
sentiment against the square deal. They
have equal reason 70 be sorry that they
sent a delegation of railway employees TO
the president TO protest against proposed
railway legislation. Whoever conceived
the latter idea is the blue ribbon chump
Of the whole railway fraternity.
"All want in any rate legislation" said
the president to the delegation Of railway
employees yesterday. lis to give the gov
eminent SUFFICIENT supervisory power
which shall be exercised as scrupulousy
to prevent injustice TO the railroads as TO
prevent their doing injustice TO the pub
lie" OF course any opposition to any
such a sound general policy must be based
on a desire not to tote fair with the
public.

ritories which are seeking admission as

question OF statehood for the territories
