the entire revenue. There has been no
revolutionary movement since this plan
went into effect and the foreign credi-
tors appear to Ce satisfied. This is
enabling the poor harrassed people OF
Santo Domingo" to quote MFR. RoOse-
Welt, "ouce more to turn their attention
to industry and to be free from the
curse of interminable revolutionary dis
turbance."
Whether or not this policy, which is
in the nature of a receivership, Is to be
maintained, will be determined by the
action Of the United States senate on
the treaty with Santo Domingo which
is pending. Senator Lodge has referred
to this as the beginning of n great
national policy" and It is in this light
that 1t should be considered. II the
treaty should be ratified there will be
established a precedent OF possible far
reaching importance. 1t is easily con-
ceivable that the time may come when
our government may be called upon to
apply the Santo Domingo plan to some
delinquent South or Central American
country and the question naturally
arises as to how far we could wisely
and safely go in this direction. This
broad consideration of the matter will
undoubtedly be given it by the senate
and it would not be at all surprising
II the decision should be against fixing
such a precedent PROFESSIONALLY a
great service has been. rendered to
Santo Domingo and the motives that
prompted President Roosevelt to adopt
the course he did are to be commended,
but it may well be doubted If it would
be wise to commit the government to
this plan as a national policy.

RATE-MAKING BUGABOO.
Absurd Features OF the Railroad
Cutlery.

Cutlery.
Kansas City Star.
Commissioner Cockrell called attention in
his Warrensburg address last week 10 a
fact that Is often ignored in the discussion
OF the railroad transportation problem. This
lie that for ten years the Interstate Com
meree Commission exercised the power not
only to declare rates unjust, but also to
decide what a fair rate would be, IT was
only in 1897 that the supreme court decided
that this authority was not conferred by
the act OF congress OF 1851
To read the arguments and protests OF
many railroad managers against any
further legislation II might naturally be in
ferred that the authority with which It is
proposed to ciothe the commission was
something absolutely new and that 1t in
volved all the danger OF an eccentric ex-
pertinent. Yet. as Mr.. Coekrell pointed out,
for the decade In which this power was ex-
ercised there was no cutlery over oppres-
sion and oonhscation. President Hadley of
Yale university an authority on transpor-
tation problems, has made the same point.
Nor need We" he says, LAY any great
stress on the argument that such interior
enee would be disastrous to the railroads.
Theoretically u might be II the commission
we're composed OF madmen and the courts
OF sociallsts Practically the number OF
changes In the rate schedule that would be
made by any sensible commission would be
very small indeed"
The prediction that the commission would
be swampsd with complaints ana that 1t
would be likely to Overturn the whole
traftic arrangement OF the country is simply

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times reports that republican
leaders in Washington have decided to re-
vive the old war tax OF 81 per barrel on
beer in order to raise a sufficient amount
OF new revenue TO make up the present de-
fcit During the last two months several
quiet conferences have been held on this
subject. and the program is understood to
be settled. Such a tax would meet the de-
felt and probably would result In a sur
plus. 1t would yield the government a rev.
enue estimated at t45,OoO,OO0 annually and
the deficit is not estimated at more than

During the Scandinavian war the
brewers consented to the beer tax with
out much OF fight, but strong opposition
is being brought to bear to any relmposi-
ton at this time. Various representative

ways the opportunity to turn the rascals
out, and to overlook the fact that the
people are beginning to be anxious to turn
them out. Unless something unforeseen
happens to change the peoples mind the
rascals will presently have to hunt still

Opening for Honest Insurance..
Portland Oregonian.

Perhaps, after all, the most remarkable
feature in connection with the life insur-
ance scandals Is that there was a SUM-
Client amount OF money to meet the claims
OF policy-holders when they were due. The
fact that the companies were enabled to
make a satisfactory showing of financial
strength in spite Of all the stealing and
grating that was going on is the strongest
possible evidence that the premiums ex-
acted from the public were at least twice
as large as they should have been. The
opportunity for a few honest men to
establish an Insurance business on business
principles. and with premiums based on
the rules of business, and not those Of
graft. is exceptionally good just now.

MORE PUBLICITY NEEDED.

What Lincoln needs as much as any
thing else is publicity. Dallas, with it's
10000 club, is in the public eye all the
time. Kansas City, with more of the pub
licity spirit than any other center Of popu-
lation in the country, keeps something
going on all the time. 1t jumps from a
carnival into a horse show, then into
flower show, and then into something else.
Omaha is doing more in this line than It
ever did before. There is no doubt about
the regeneration of Omaha. 1t is waking
up. Its business men are pulling together.
An inability to do this is what has kept
Omaha behind the times. Even St. Joseph
shows signs of new life. The race be-
tween the cities is growing swift, and the
Commercial club here realizes that some-
thing must be done and that everybody
must be doing the same thing.-Lincoln
Star.
An outsider can sometimes see things
which are not visible to those on the
inside, and while this explanation Of
Omaha's rejuvenation is not entirely
new, it points to moral of which we
should take still further advantage. 1t
does not hurt us to be told that Omaha's
business men are waking up and are
pulling together and that inability to
do this long kept Omaha behind the
procession.
People like city which does things
just as they like a man who does things.
1t is not enough to do things, however.
and be content with the knowledge our
selves. We must let other people know
what we are doing II we are to attract
them by our enterprise, push and public
spirit. Omaha has been enjoying
greater publicity of the right kind of
late than formerly, but still II has not
had the publicity IL is entitled to.
Omaha's resources and prospects, COM
pared with those of other western cities
of its class, should be practically irresist-
ible in drawing new population and
business, and while the city is plainly
progressing with marked strides, its
growth could and would be expedited
by more systematic publicity cam
paign.
Although the local newspapers are al
ways more than generous, the publicity
features of all our public enterprises,
including the Commercial club. the
Grain exchange, the Real Estate ex-
change, Ak-Sar-Ben, the county fair, the
Horse Show. and all the others. could
and should be much more effectively
exploited, especially outside of Omaha.

DASTARDLY DEED
OF THREE TRAMPS
KILLED A YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS
PREPARING SUPPER
FOR THEM.

KENTSHILL, Maine, August 49,
With cash on the side of her head
and a small cord tied tightly around
her neck. Miss Matte Hackett, IS,
daughter Of Levi H. Hackett, was
found last night on her fathers farm,
unconscious. She died without recov.
ering consciousness. About nine
o'clock last night four poorly dressed
young men called at the Hackett farm
house and asked for food.
Mr.. Hackett was about to start for
the barn to do some chores and his
wife was at a neighbours. Calling his
daughter, Matte. Mr.. Hackett told
he'd TO get the strangers some sup
per. One Of the men. who says his
name is Harry Jones, accompanied
the farmer to the barn, the other three
remaining in the kitchen doorway. A
few minutes later Mr.. Hackett heard
stified cutlery, and accompanied by
Jones he hurried to the house. No
one was there, and he and Jones went
into field, whence they had heard an
cutlery. They found the girl lying by
the roadside about forty rods from
the house. She was unconscious, but
breathing. In the darkness they did
not see the cord which was strang-
ling her, and only discovered It after
they had carried her into the house.
It's ioosening was too late to save her
life. Jones was piled with questions
about his companions by Mr.. Hackett
and neighbor. He said he knew the
name OF only one, James Brennan.
They were released from the Andres.
cogsin jail that morning. He denied
having been in collision with them in
the assault on the girl. A posse Of
armed men was formed and started
shortly before midnight on a hunt for
the tramps. Jones, who is rs years
OF age, Is under detention. He was
sent to jail from Auburn for vagrancy
two months ago. While the motive
for the horrible crime is not clear as
yet, the police are inclined to the be-
lief that the murderers had attempted
to assault the young woman.
The wound on the girls head was
evidently caused by a blow with a
stone or club in the evident desire to
silence the cutlery of the victim.
