and there are wide differences Of opin-
Ion as to how this should be done and
as TO many other administrative details,
as well as many jealousies and appre-
tensions as to the effect on the public
revenue. While in fact there is no sub
stantial difficulty, yet It can easily be
seen how hostile interests intrenched in
congress and the departments may take
advantage Of the situation for the pur-
poses Of delay, especially at time when
public attention is so concentrated as It
is now in another direction.
II the country is to get the great bene-
faction of untaxed denaturized alcohol
at the hands Of congress at this session,
it is probable that every means of pub
lie pressure will have to be employed.
and it is to be remembered that the gen.
eral public is only now beginning fairly
to appreciate the Importance of the sub
ject.

The municipal campaign In Omaha
may now be considered fully under way.
The opposing candidates are in the field
and the candidates have made their
platforms, or rather had platforms made
for them, upon which they will appeal
for public favor and support Three
weeks remain for the voters to familiar
ize themselves with the candidates seek
ing election and the pledges they may
promise to fulfill in case they are in
Quoted into office.
Excepting a few points, examination
of the platforms of the opposing tickets
will disclose comparatively little differ
ence Of vital moment They all promise
economical and businesslike govern
ment; they all promise expulsion Of tax
eaters from the city hall and reduction
Of tax rates; they all promise acquisi-
ton of the water works by the city
Immediately, If not sooner; they all
promise strict, regulation Of every fran
chised corporation and reduced rates of
public service utilities, with the prospect
of municipal ownership on the horizon;
they all promise that there will be no
politics in the city hall, except that in
volved in their efforts to get there them
selves. 4s
Aside from the few points of di-
vergence in the platform pledges. which
we will take up later, it devolves upon
the voters who wish to choose intelli-
gently and conscientiously between the
two sets Of candidates making up the
opposing municipal tickets to look be-
hind the platforms and to inquire into
the characters of the men who are stand
ing upon them. If both promise the
same thing, these questions arise:
Which may be most depended upon to
follow promise with performance?
Which will fill the office and perform
the duties most efficiently? Which will
be the greater credit to the city, not only
at home, but also abroad?
These are few of the questions
which each individual voter should put
for himself and apply in practice in the
light of his own common sense If this
is done, The Bee has no doubt that on
their merits the republican nominees
as a whole will appeal to the voters
much more forcibly than the demo-
cratic nominees.

SERMONS BOILED DOWN.


Daily duty may be the divine drill.
The hill OF pride Is icy all the year
round
To be rich one must learn to proht By
losses.
sparing little weeds spoils many a largo
harvest
Vain the mourning over sin without its
mending.
Heaven never nlls the hand and forgsts
the heart.
Work builds a wall against most Of the
tempter's wiles.
The serenity Of the saints il not en-
HANGED by their shores.
The gospel works must produos more
than smoke and whistle
The man who has no faith In anyone
gets fooled by everyone.
Many churches are building too many
ovens and baking too little bread.
Where ambition plows the heart you can
always plant the seeds OF hatred.
Stepping stones to success cannot be
built out Of broken commandments.
The place where temptation IL feroest
is where the brave can learn to be most
faithful
Whatever helps US to think more kindly
Of another helps to bring in the kingdom
Of heaven.
Men who take pains to be faithful to the
fashions are not likely to be fashioned
to the faithful-Chicago Tribune.

There is no substantial reason why
the present session Of congress should
be protracted far into the summer. Or
binary legislation like the main appro-
priations are already well along. The
statehood bill hangs between the two
houses, where it is short matter to
settle it, one way or the other. in con-
ference. The Philippine bill, having
early passed the house, may be consid-
cred adversely disposed of by the SEN
ate.
The only ground for the predictions
now beginning to be heard from Wash
ington that the session may last till July
and possibly even longer, is the dilatory
tactics employed in the senate by the
opposition to the paramount measure Of
the session. the rate control bill. Con-
gress and the country have for more
than a year been considering that sub
ject, and hardly anything but that sub
ject, and the debate has now been drag
ging along week after week during this
session. Senator Aldrich, the recognized
head of the opposition to this measure,
or to any measure for railroad control,
has Just now, for the second time,
thwarted the attempt of it's friends to
FIX a date for final vote. Thereby and
in many other ways the opposition pur-
pose of delay is becoming every day
more obvious.
If anything were needed to exasper-
ate the American people, perseverance
in the way in which Senator Aldrich is
leading on behalf of the corporations
would do the business.

UNTAxED ALCOHOL.

II public sentiment that has lately
been exerted in favor of exempting
from taxation alcohol used in the me-
chanic arts were all that had to be con-
sidered, legislation for that purpose
would be promptly forthcoming. There
is no question whatever that the econo-
mic advantage of untaxed alcohol for
such purposes is enormous.
The excise tax of sos per gallon is
practically prohibitive of the general
employment of alcohol for a great va
riety Of uses for which it is in fact far
better adapted than gasoline, kerosene,
etc, the prices of which on account Of
increasing demand have been rising for
a series of years, and which on account
Of monopoly or other obnoxious causes
fiuctuate injuriously TO consumers. As
an illuminant and as a fuel for the in
Vulnerable internal combustion engines
now employed on farm and in factory,
to say nothing of other important pur-
poses, untaxed alcohol would be a re-
source of incalculable value, at the same
time creating a corresponding market
for the grains and other agricultural
products out of which it is made.
A mass of evidence placed before the
house ways and means committee at
hearings during the present session
makes 1t clear that untaxed alcohol can
be produced and sold at a price below
the average price of gasoline and kero-
sene per gallon; that at the same price
II has double the efficiency OF the latter
for many OF the purposes for which they
are commonly used, and that consumers
would be correspondingly relieved as to
many purposes for which 1t alone is
suitable, all Of which has been abun-
dainty demonstrated by the actual ex-
perience OF Germany, Great Britain and
other European countries.
But the very value OF untaxed alcohol
to the great body of consumers neces-
sarily excites the antagonism Of adverse
interests which have great influence for
obstructing legislation, and the nature
Of the subject offers those interests spe
cial opportunities therefor. To be ex,
empted from taxation alcohol requires
to be denaturized or made undrinkable

that court action will speedily bring the

The interposition of a plea of immu-
nifty by officials and agents of the Chi
cago & Alton Railroad company who
are under prosecution in the federal
court for gross violations of the law for
bidding rebates follows quickly upon
the success of the same plea by the in
dicted Chicago packers. The immunity
defense by conspicuous corporation rep
resentatives bears in the public eye an
ugly aspect, and it grows uglier with
repetition. 1t is in essence an evasion
Of the real issue. which involves the
question of guilt of lawlessness, an eva
sion so gross and obvious as in the case
Of common criminals to carry the infer
ence of confession, which is surely an
inference that men at the head of great
corporations and in important places in
them cannot afford to rest under.
The immunity plea Of the Chicago &
Alton officials is strikingly analogous
to that Of the Beef trust defendants,
with only this difference of circum-
stance, that the latter furnished docu-
mentary and oral information to the
government represented by Commits
sioner Garfield of the Bureau Of Cor
porations, while the latter produced
their company's books, papers, ETC., be-
fore a grand jury for it's inspection. But
the desire of both for what Attorney
General Moody calls the Immunity
bath" is identical, for it implies escape
from the penalties of the law whether
they are guilty or not. and an escape
even from justical trial which would
ascertain the truth of the matter.
The aggravatipg fact remains that
the correctness OF Judge Humphreys
view Of the law as to immunity in the
packers case is questionable and is In
fact seriously questioned by many Of
the ablest lawyers, and yet there is no
way in which it can be carried to the
supreme court of the United States for
final settlement. If in the meantime
officials and agents Of great railroad and
| other corporations indicted for grave
offenses against the law, If they con-
template forming a procession to the
courts of justice for the purpose of es-
Gaping justice by the immunity dodge,
should pause seriously before making
such a spectacle. 1t will infalibly
cause universal disgust and indignation,
and 1t will not long be endured.

will remain in force pending appeal on
other grounds, subject, OF course. to a
guaranty Of restitution Of over-charge
or under-charge. in case the rate Is not
sustained. Congress may not have the
power with reference to rates against
which the charge Of confscation under
the constitution is alleged, but It must
have this power with reference to such
as are ited only because Of a dis
agreeu o., as TO facts.
The final question propounded by
Senator Allen opens up the whole field
Of discussion Of control and regulation
Of railroads, as against ownership and
operation. The Bee has repeatedly ex-
pressed its views as against nationalist
ton Of the railroads under present con-
ditions and we doubt very much
whether the halfway proposition for the
government ito reduce enough Of the
transcontinental lines and their feeders
to public ownership to establish an
effectual automatic regulation or rates"
would prove satisfactory to any one.
The automatic regulation of rates"
would extend only to rates that are
strictly competitive and in no way to
rates that are non-competitive. The
next step would be either for the gov
eminent to reduce to public ownership
all the remaining railroads or to admit
failure and sell or lease the roads ac-
quired back to the original owners or
their successors. If the people of the
United States ever decide to take up
public ownership of the railroads they
will go the whole length and take them
all.

Decision on Cigarette Rolling Attracts

The vagaries and uncertainties Of leg
islation as the supreme court manipu-
lates 1t are we'll illustrated in the decision
OF the Nebraska supreme court In the mat
ter of that states new anti-cigarette law
The law declares, among other things
that 1t shall be unlawful TO manufacture,
sell or give away" cigarettes, and It was
on the meaning OF the word manufacture"
that highest court was called upon to pass
Some Jealous opponents OF the tobacco
habit held that to make ones own
cigarettes by rolling tobacco in a paper
was manufacturing. It was commended
that the object Of the law was TO Danish
the cigarette in any shape from the state,
and that therefore there was no difference
from making cigarettes for ones own use
and in making them for general distribution
and sale. The act of a man in rolling
shreds Of tobacco in a piece of paper,
lighting and smoking II was a violation OF
the law and subjected him to all its
penalties
The court refused to sustain this view.
It holds that to make ones own cigarettes
is not ito engage in and carry on the busl-
ness OF manufacturing. AS a result OF this
decision any person can make and smoke
all the cigarettes he desires. while the
courts Interpretation OF the word manu-
facture" leaves the entire law in state OF
doubt. The court said:
'The purpose Of the law Is to suppress
the trafic in and not to forbid the use OF
these articles. The word manufacture in
the act is used in the sense of to engage
in and carry on the business OF manufac-
turing The act Of rolling cigarettes from
ones own materials and for ones own
use is so connected with the use as to be
a part of such use, and this II was clearly
not intended by the legislature TO prohibit. "
There are those who claim, as a result
OF this agitation, that the clause "or give
away" is invalidated by this decision, be-
cause to make cigarettes for ones owr
