harmless their officials when caught in
such ofTenses. The punishment In the
end may by feasible transference from
the really guilty fall really upon stock
holders or the public who are absolutely
innocent Of the violation.
Yet It IL wholesome and suspicious
sign that the government is actively
prosecuting this class Of offenses so long
officially winked at or condoned. and
that the penalties of the law, made
quate though they are, are beginning to
be actually enforced upon the most for
midable and hitherto unassailable cor
porations and their highest officials and
agents. The fact signally demonstrates
the power of aroused public opinion and
of earnest public authority. and Is a
warning to the offender of what will be
accomplished when the law is ampliGed
and the penalty made truly TO fit the
crime.

Heroes in Humble Life.


The terrible disaster that befell the
French mining town of Lens and snuffed
out the lives of nearly 1900 coal miners
caught like rats by an explosion of fire
damp produced some remarkable instances
Of heroism. The company made little effort
to rescue the men at first. Had II done
so many hundreds might have been saved.
Finally some German miners decided TO
ascertain If any workmen had survived.
They did save some by risking their own
lives. Another hero was the miner. Nemy.
who led a party of thirteen out Of the SUBJ
terranean chambers after twenty days of
wandering and tortures from hunger and
thirst Nemy and the German rescuers
were decorated with the Cross Of the Legion
of Honor. Nemy, however, accepted his
cross sullenly. What good ls this bauble
to me?" he asked 1T cannot bring back
my comrades nor pay for my wife's useless
mourning" Doubtless he will In course OF
time esteem more highly than he does at
present the 'bauble" which represents the
appreciation in which men hold his heroic
conduct.

PENDANTS and the imposition OF the legal
penalty for such offenses are by them
selves a sign that a great executive
change has come about.
The case was perfectly simple form

the penalty of fine only for such clear
and undisputed violations. The remark

SAN FBANCISCOs LIABILITY TO FIRE.
One fact not appreciated by the gen
eral public, but well known in insur-
ance circles Is that San Francisco. en-
tlrely apart from earthquake peril, has
always been liable to extra hazard from
fire. In its earlier history the town WIS
repeatedly almost totally wiped out by
fires which occurred at frequent inter
walls. and though the character of its
buildings had improved. especially the
last decade or two, its special liability
70 fire in comparison with other great
American cities remained. Great pains
were taken to render some of the newly
constructed modern buildings fire proof,
but the evidence is clear that they We're
! the rare exception to the rule.
Nothing is more certain than that II
was only a question of time when the
city would be the fuel for great con
migration. even II the earth had not
shaken beneath IT, 1t is pertinently re-
called that only six months ago the
National Board of Underwriters after a
thorough investigation by special COM
mittee of experts publicly warned the
business men and people of San Fran
cisco that their city was in danger Of
being consumed by fire, and the point
is now emphasized that nothing but the
extraordinary vigilance and efficiency
of it's fire department aided by good
luck could so long have STAYED off the
inevitable. There is good authority in
expert opinion for the theory that the
earthquake, while it did immense dam
/ age, only furnished the occasion for a
great fire disaster which has long i'm
/ pended.
! The admonltiOn to be drawn from the
facts, though specially applicable in the
rebuilding of San Francisco. is full of
significance for almost all the larger
cities of the country in which haste and
undue eagerness for immediate profit
lead to disregard of sound and safe
/ principles of construction.

oMAHA's MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.

SCHUYLER Free Lance: The democrats OF
Omaha have formulated a splendid platform
and It reads well, but when they run fell
low like Jim Dahlman on the platform II
makes a fellow weary. With a candidate
like Ed p. Smith It would be different. No
Jim Dahlman in ours. We want all our
Omaha people to vote for Benson.
David city Press: Within thirty days
Omaha has furnished the state with two
criminals who will be hanged in the peni-
Tertiary at Lincoln, besides sending not
less than a dozen men TO the penitentary
for crimes which are scarcely ever heard
Of outside OF Omaha. All, or a great part
at least, of the criminal work In Omaha
might be prevented II the good people Of
that city would see to II that their city
government was given a good shaking up,
and Governor Mickey would appoint Fire
and Police commission that did not have a
stand-in with every dive and disreputable
resort.
Fremont Tribune: The Omaha municipal
campaign is attracting more attention than
a dog night. The contest for a nomination
on the republican ticket for mayor resulted
in the choice OF Benson. who was a minor
ity candidate since the combined votes
against him was much larger than his
own. But there has been unusual acquies-
oencc in the result by republicans and Il
appears the party Is as nearly harmonious
as It is ever possible to be In crowville.
on the other hand. the democrats had but
one candidate. Jim Dahlman. whose FROM
tier life is thought to well 1T him for d.
recting the affairs Of a more-or-less-wido-
open municipality. Jim was a calf roper
and head OF a vigilance committee in the
days when there was little but buffalo grass
and jack rabbits in western Nebraska, but
as civilization crowded him he was forced
to retreat to Omaha TO get out Of the way
OF It. There is no denying that his electro
magnetic qualities are catchy for the rab-
BILE and he is making quite a stir. But
Benson has been long a resident; is promi-
nently identified with the material progress
OF the city and the odds are In favor OF
his branding the Dahlman maverick. and
dehorning him as well.

AUTOMOBILE LEGISLATION

1t is suggestive to note the amount Of
time and attention that the legislatures
of the eastern states, which have always
been far ahead of the western states
in this matter, are now giving to regula-
ton of automobiles The elaborate and
thorough code put into effect in New
Jersey is so satisfactory in many of it's
features that it is being taken as a
model in some of the nearby states, the
New York legislature having been en-
gagged for many weeks in considering
the subject with hardly less interest
and industry than have been devoted to
regulation of insurance! So severe and
detailed are the codes now being con-
structed in that section that they would
hardly be tolerated in the west or capa-
BILE of enforcement if enacted here.
But the rapidity of increase of the
use OF such machines on the public
streets and highways in the west is
such that the time is not far distant
when more perfect systems OF regula-
ton will have to be applied One of the
most striking points in these latest
eastern laws and pending propositions
is the severity of the qualifications re-
quired Of those who handle automobiles
as chauffeurs, including stringent exam.

SOMETHING WRONG.

There must be something wrong In
the management Of the county Jail when
prisoners cap concoct and carry into
even partial execution plans for jail
breaks without the intervention of the
iailers in charge.
The last successful Jail break few
weeks ago was without question re-
suit of incompetence or negligence on
the part of the Jail authorities, if moth
ing worse. The prisoners escaped
through a hole in the wall, which had
been made by removing the bricks from
the inside, one at a time-a process that
must have taken days and could not
possibly have been done had all the
ordinary precautions for the safe Keep
ing of the Jail inmates been taken.
In spite of this lesson, the latest at
tempt at liberation of a convict confined
there seems not to have been uncovered

had been introduced into the Jail from
the outside and considerable progress

plot was uncovered, instead of taking
measures to trace it down to the parties
implicated, the sheriff and his assistants
at the jail did the very thing calculated
to prevent their detection when by the
exercise of a little common sense they
could have easily led the Jail breakers
and their accomplices to expose them
selves
The management of the Douglas
county Jail has been radically at fault
for several years. We have had sue
cessive jail breaks of inexcusable
character, and in one instance suffi-
GENTLY suspicious to cause the immed-
late discharge Of one of the jailers, The
taxpayers Of Douglas county are paying
enough money out for the maintenance
of their Jail and the guarding of the
prisoners to have It done right. and It is
high time for a change in both methods
and men.

Omaha's claim for the establishment

TOIUdnu UItkOnIdH.
Eastern railroad officials state that the
big packing corporations have for many
years been defrauding them by misstating
the character of the goods they were ship
ping and also under billing on weights. 1t
is estimated that the packers alone beat
the roads out of $4,000 last year. In view
of the dividend account of the roads, 1t
seems probable that the deficit was passed
on 70 some less fortunate shipper. He in
turn probably evened up matters on the
consumer. The situation is remindful OF
the old rhyme:
Big feas have little feas to bite EN-
And so on down ad inhnitum.
II is not apparent. however, that any of
the bites in the case under discussion
have proven serious.
