The responsibility for the fatal &C
cident at Lake Manawa should by all
means be fixed, IL it is possible to fix
it. 1t should be remembered. how
ever, that while the victims are for the
most part Omaha people Manawa is
entirely outside of the Jurisdiction of
our Nebraska authorities. Whether
anyone is criminally or civilly liable
for failure to enforce necessary pre-
cautions to insure safety of the col
lapsed boat landing should by all
means be developed by the coroner
inquests, and the lesson should not be
allowed to be lost for the future.

Judges and clerks Of the recent pri-
mary election who were compelled to
keep the polls open thirteen hours and
then canvass the vote on more than
500 names are entitled to recognition
of the fact that they put in more than
one days labor when the pay rolls are
made up. There is not an election
board in Omaha or South Omaha that
got OF with less than two eight-hour
days and many of them put in more
than twenty-four hours. Unless the
county authorities take official notice
of this 1t will be next to impossible to
get anyone to serve as an election OIL
Ger for another primary with such a
formidable ballot to be handled.

less than one dollar out Of Eve ex-

greater part falling into the hands Of

been found that even where the pur-
pose is strictly legitimate, the crowd
OF onhangers who gather like flies to

The fact that the general government IL
not yet expanding so much per capita as
European governments is no excuse for
increasing our expenditures for two Sea-
sons: First. because every country in
Europe is an armed camp from fear OF its
neighbors, while we have no neighbors
to fear so long as we mind our own busi-
ness, and secondly, because the govern
ments of Europe do very many things
which sss lett to the states in this eoun-

not DO and ought not to do. Mr.. Tawney

AN INDIANA CAMPAIGN AGREEMEN1

AN INDIANA CAMPAIGN AGREEMENT
Curious but really significant is the
agreement among the republican and
democratic leaders I'm FIVE Indiana
counties to limit campaign expenses
this year to strictly legitimate pur-
poses, and on that basis not to exceed
the minimum of indispensable need.
While the success of the plan depends
upon good faith, il rests certainly upon
q substantial community of interest"
that ought TO be sufficient to provide
additional safeguards For in a state
politically so close and doubtful as In
diana has long been, both parties have
come to be victims OF the evil of pro-
fuse campaign expenditures. A large
voting element has there been edu-
Gated TO expect and demand money at
each recurring election, whereas
neither party gains advantage by It.
II It did not result in infinite corrup-
ton In government. the burden Inn
posed upon candidates and loyal party
men is enough to condemn the prac-
tce. So. on the other hand, II is a
good sign when influential men OF all
parties In so extensive a district join
in a resolute EFFORT TO shut on or at
least greatly reduce the burdsnsOms
and prontless custom.
The futility OF campaign protusion
has. indeed. been notably illustrated
In Indiana. where il has long been the
accepted estimate Of the most expert

Under the circumstances and condi-
lions the vote polled at the Douglas
county primary was not a light vote
except by comparison. Relying upon
the rotation ballot to disfranchise a
large part of the republicans the Fon-
tanelle bosses figured that the total
vote would not exceed 1000 and no
one put it above 5000. 1t is safe to
say that close to 5000 republicans
went TO the polls. although several
hundred of them we're prevented from
voting by the delays in getting the
election boards organized or by in
ability to wait their turn on account
of the slow voting, and several hun
bred more refused to vote at all after
they saw the discouraging ballot or
had wrestled unsueeessfully with the
confusing rotation. Taking all these
things into consideration the number
of votes polled is highly creditable and
the decisive majorities indicate that
they would have been doubled and
trebled had there been an opportunity
for all to express themselves freely
and without unusual effort and loss OF
time.

The frugal habits and methods Of the
Frerch people. which were so strikingly
shown in the payment Of the German war
6ebt over thirty years ago. have became a
fixed national trait. To this marvellous
economy and industry is attributed the fact
that France Is now playing the role OF the
worlds banker. The strikes OF the nation
toward financial supremacy" says the Re
view Of Reviews, have been most rapid In
the past FIVE years. In that time French
investors have taken up many milllard
francs OF foreign obligations. They furn-
ished Great Britain with much Of the capt.
tai that went to finance the Boer war;
they loaned enormous amounts 20 Russia,
practically supplying the money needed In
the struggle against Japan; they provided
Germany with 1,OOO0OO,OO0 marks in 1sO4-O5
to carry on her tremendous industrial en-
terprises; they took liberal amount of the
last japanese loan, more than half Of the
Russian loan of last April, and, finally,
they supplied borrowers in the United
States with fully s15oOOO,OOO during the
tight money period of last winter and are
now financing the bond and note issues
OF some OF our greatest corporations.
Although the annual gold production of
the world is nearly s4OO,OOOO 900, there is such
tremendous trade activity In every quarter
Of the universe that capital is in demand
as never before. One thinks Of the usually
we'll supplied money markets as today
cleaned up bare, in a condition Of drought;
but then there is a great reservoir of free
capital in France which is being tapped by
the other thirsty nations, and which, In
spite Of the drain on It, keeps we'll filled
and shows no sign of exhaustion. The
bank Of France, the largest hoarder Of gold
next to the United States treasury, has in
its vaults today nearly 100000 900 of the
precious metal; two years ago It had $685.
100000, and in 1900. when Paris began slowly
to forge ahead OF London as the center OF
largest money supply, the institution held
only $3T5, 100000"

How has France, a nation industrlally
inferior to Germany and with a commerce
very much below that Of Great Britain,
gained such a power in world finance? The
answer is, through her domestic economy.
For frugalty, thrift intense application to
the work in hand and the very commend
able ambition to carve from life's labors
enough to make bright the inevitable rainy
day and to cheer old age the Frenchmnn
has no peer. To save Is an Inherited de-
sire. The poorest peasant In the least
productive parish of the republic manages
to put aside a little each year for com
potency, and the fishermen down on the
Brittany coast would have starved few
winters ago, when the catch was almost
nothing, had they not been able to draw
from the savings OF more fruitful years.
Tens of thousands OF small shop keepers,
nnkeepers, scantily paid government en-
ployes are investors, and their combined
savings have provided the funds to finance
many a nation and carry it through
lean period. The population of France is
about 100000 people; the wealth of France
is nearly 81. 900 10000. This wealth is evenly
distributed. The number Of estates admin
stered in 1904 was 394,7S7, and of these
one-half were for values ranging from less
than $4,000 to a little under 100000. Only
three were over $l0,OO0.OOO

HOUSE

The house today promptly plunged into
the work set out for IL under suspension
OF the rules
Mr.. Gillette (Mass) from the committee
on appropriations reported the District or
Columbia appropriation bill
Mr.. Curtis OKan) presented concur
rent resolution authorizing in the enroll
ment OF the bill providing for the final
disposition OF the five civilized tribes in
the Indian territory the clerk be directed
TO restore TO the bill the part proposed 10
be stricken out In one of the amendments
OF the senate.
The amendment sought 20 be inserted,
are I'm the nature OF corrections, one
amendment, however. being entirely new
matter and providing for the sale OF all
buildings now or heretofore used for gov
ernmental, school and other tribal pur-
poses.
Mr.. Curtis stated that the mistakes in
the bill were discovered after the con-
ference report had been signed and that
IL these corrections were not made thres
sections OF the bill would be incongruous.
Mr. De Almond (Mo) thought that leg
islation by resolution was dangerous. on
this ground he was opposed TO the resolu-
ton.
The rules were suspended and the reso-
luton adopted
Mr.. shartell (Mo) called up the bill
amending the revised statutes relating TO
national banks. National banks have
heretofore been limited in making loans
so that they could not loan 10 exceed 10
per cent OF their capital 20 any one con-
cern. The bill which Mr. Shartell called
up adds the surplus 20 the capital stock
for loan purposes providing no loan shall
exceed 20 per cent. OF the capital stock.
Mr. Gillespie CTeX), a member OF the
committee on banking and currency, said
the bill was In the interest OF the large
borrowers, thereby lessening the cost of
administration. He argued that II the
bill became a law a penalty should be
provided for the violation OF it's provi-
slons He said that the comptroller OF the
currency made the startling statement
that 70 per cent. of the banks pay no at
tentlon 20 the present provision limiting
the loaning capacity OF the bank TO any
one person, firm, etc, TO 10 per cent. OF
its capital stock, and he believed a good
stiff penalty ought to be provided TO com
pei the banks to keep the law. The bill
was passed
