this country are the railroad managers
who are advocating a law to permit
pooling. That completely destroys
what little competition there might be
between rival lines. The destruction
of competition is the goal to which all
socialists propose to attain. The only
class of people in the United States
that seem not to have the least
faint of socialism about them is the
ropulists. The republican party is
rotten with it.

The only party. in this country that
advocates financial system in which
every dollar would be as good as ev-

The republican party want a wild cat
currency with paper notes biased on
assets and the democratic party want
a currency, part paper, which is re
deemable'' in some other kind OF dol
lars that they deem "better" than pa

want any money at all.

In conversation with ]. ]. Points, OF
Omaha, who has for many years been
one of the efficient workers in the
populist party, he said that the popu-
lists in Nebraska who voted for Roose-
Welt did just what they had always
been denouncing. That is, when dis
satisfied with the chicanery and decep-
ton Of one of the old parties, vote for
the other and then when things go on
just as bad as before, switch back
again. That is what the voters have
been doing for the last thirty years.
They call themselves independent
voters, but they always vote for piu-
tocracy and never for anything else.

Secretary Hay has saved China
again. He has to do that every once

was to address note to each Of the
European powers and they all made
solemn oath again that the integrity
OF China should be preserved and the
"open door" should always remain
Open But If the integrity Of China is
maintained it will be by the Japanese
army and navy. II they can keep the

There is something deeply mysterious
about the Chadwick case The woman
claimed that she was daughter of
Carnegie and now Carnegie has paid a
part of the losses of the bank at Ober-

Carnegie has also refused to go to

case of forgery could be made out
against the woman on account of the

cannot if Carnegie will not testify.

Paternalism seems to be the chief
idea of the republican members Of the
Nebraska legislature. One of the Sol
ons of that party wants the state to
take fatherly supervision over every
form of football and fine or send to the
penitentiary every young or old Ne
braskan who plays the game or gives
it any Encouragement. The Indepen-
dent has denounced the ruffianly way
i'll which football has beer played and
would favor law that would punish
those who MAIN and injure their op-
ponents out of pure brutishness, but
this effort to regulate the games of the
boys of the university and high schools
by law, is carrying pa.ernalism to
such an extent that it is ridiculous.
These republican legislative freaks are
getting plenty of notoriety in the daily
press of the country, to the disgrace of
the state and every decent citizen in
it. No populist legislators ever made
such fools of themselves.

body was bound to transfer any IL
cense to any place that might be de-

Three weeks ago Mr.. Gates voted

censes. The following week he de-
clared he had seen a great white light
and had the case reconsidered. on
the reconsideration he voted with the
mayor and Commissioner James. on
the first occasion the mayor had OPP
rosed the stand taken by Mr.. Gates,
which is probably the first time on
record that the mayor and Commits
sioner Gates have been divided in
thought.
This is one thing that worries the
mayor and some new lines are form

result. Where will he get another
man that will work so in harmony
with himself and Commissioner James
as Mr.. Gates has done? The "solid

and the new member who takes his
place may sometimes vote with Com

lowed to take a tub bath for at least
one month and the time may be ex-
tended.
This is the order of the town council,
which met last night. The penalty is
the shutting off of water in any house
where the occupants become so indis-
Greet as to take a bath. A resident of
the town may rub himself down with
a damp towel, but he is taking the risk
of going without water If he gets the
towel too wet.
Scarcity of water is responsible for
this ordinance, and the old well, which
is the towns present supply, is going
dry. The situation is serious and duo
to the scarcity. The electric light plant
was shut down last night, with the re-
suit that the town is in darkness. 1t
will take at least a month to dig the

Fifteen injured were taken to the
receiving hospital and the doctors were
kept busy for over an hour dressing
wounds and calming the nerves of those
who were shocked. The station was a
scene of confusion and was crowded
by the relatives of the injured. Many
people, almost distracted with fear that
some of their friends or relatives had
been hurt or killed, anxiously ques-
toned the police.
Upon examination the doctors found
that most of the injuries were those
inflicted by falling glass and that but
few had broken bones.
Mrs. II. Il. Harvey, 2101 Norwood
avenue. was injured about the head
and her collar bone was broken. After
her wounds had been dressed and the
