COMMON CARRIERS As SHIPPERS.

COMMON CARRIERS As SHIPPERS.
The discussion in the senate of
amendments bearing on the participa-
ton Of railroads in coal mining opera
tions raises a question of scarcely less
importance and probably of far greater
intricacy and complication even than
that of rate control, upon which con-
gress has been engaged for two ses-
sions and public thought concentrated
in the meantime. That subject is in
deed intimately connected with many
of the abuses and determinations in
railroad rates and service which have
compelled legislation in the interest Of
fairness.
II is natural that attention should
now begin to be critically directed to
the mingling of the functions of rail-
roads as common carriers with those of
producers and shippers Of coal in COM
petition with the mass of producers
and shippers, who. not being also com
mon carriers, are powerless to protect
their interests in the vital point of
transportation. Coal constitutes almost
one-third of the total tonnage carried
by the railroads of the United States.
Obviously, the shipper who as COM
mon carrier controls transportation
rates and service thereby controls the
coal industry and trade, holding abso-
lutely in his grasp arbitrary power over
ordinary legitimate competitors, a
power which it is common knowledge
has been ruthlessly employed.
But the subject is UNNECESSARILY
broader than the coal industry and all
the industries Immediately dependent
upon it, for common carriers are en-
gagged or specially interested financially
in the production of other commodities
in competition with shippers. The evil
of such proprietary interest of com
mon carriers outside of their proper
function permeates the industrial and
business world, not to speak of the
widely ramified Illicit dealings of
transportation officials in their own
selfish interest to the hurt of the
mass of railroad shareholders, as we'll
as of the mass of the people.
While the existence of this evil and
the resultant menace and demoraliza-
ton to business have long been known,
1t was not till comparatively recently
that public authority has bestirred
itself effectively to put the facts on Of
fetal record. The inquiry ordered by
joint resolution of congress has only
been fairly begun by the Interstate
Commerce commission, although it has
already disclosed startling details OF
abuse between railroads and railroad
owned coal mining industries. Con-
gress may be able by amending the
pending rate bill to do something ef-
fective against this abuse, but the evil
involved is so vast, so far-reaching
and so complex that its complete rem.
edy will require more thorough con.
sideration than can be given 1t at this
stage of the session without further
knowledge of the facts.

The friction at the Norfolk insane
asylum has eliminated in the removal
of both the superintendent and his as
sistant. Without knowing anything Of
the merits of the case. it is a safe as
sertion that no public institution Of
that kind can carry on it's work salts
factorily unless those in charge OF 1t
pull together. There is no reason why
the asylum at Norfolk should not rank
with the asylums at Hastings and Lin
coin in the matter of good discipline
and care of It's inmates.

4 CONFESSION OF FAIrH.

The purchase of a piece of property
valued at more than $4,000 for the
erection of Real Estate Exchange
building is a confession of faith in
Omaha on the part of the real estate
dealers which will go far to inspire
the faith of other people in the as
sured future of the city
Real estate men, as a rule, trade on
other peoples money, buying and SELL
ing on commission, although a larger
and larger number have recently come
TO be in the class of investors them
selves. n, in their Judgment, condi-
lions are ripe for the erection of a
Real Estate Exchange building on one
of the most prominent corners of the
city, it surely means that their own
confidence extends far beyond the
mere persuading of prospective buy
ers to take realty bargains off their
hands
In this connection, however, permit
us to say that the talk Of erecting a
building costing only $4,000 upon the
site purchased does not come up to
the demands of the time. A $4,000
building on ground costing more than
that sum would be out of all proper
lions.
The Real Estate exchange people
who go into this building project
should rise to the occasion by putting
up a modern fire-proof building that
will be credit to the city, not only
today, but ten years from now. Such
a building on the corner fronting both
the city hall and court house, could
be made an ornament to the city and
conspicuous addition to our monu-
mental structures.
The Real Estate Exchange building
should be no Cheap John affair, erected
for quick returns with speculative OBJ.
jects, It should be a permanent ad
dition to structural Omaha, and al

EVERYBODY STANDS But FATHER.

Everybody stands but father,
When the busy day Is done,
And the work-a-day world 10 vending
Homeward at set OF sun;
The cars are damned TO the limit,
Each woman gets next TO strap;
But the man, he sits, for to him II seems.
Every one should stand but pap
Every one stands but father,
We know how tired he must be-,
with the children pratting about him,
Their voices pitched way up I'm @;
How often, from desk and from counter,
He turns TO attend TO their need;
So every one stands but papa,
For papa is tired indeed.
Every one stands but father,
Schoolma'am and shop girl and all;
They're not tired bit, 80 why should they
sit
And they'd feel 30 remarkably small
TO see those poor fathers all standing,
With looks so reproachful and sad;
How could womankind be so thoughtlessl
So every one stands but dad.
Every one stands but father.
The poor. fagged-out old man:
With the dinner 10 get and the dishes 20 do,
He needs must sit while he can;
Al home they'll sit reading the papers,
Mary, Melissy and ma
It's only on homeward-b bound street cars
That every one stands but pa.
