EoR TIE EMERGENCY.

The worid-Herald feels safe and war
ranted In asserting Of shalienberger that
he is neither a passholder nor a pass.
onger.-World- Herald.
Notice how careful our amiable DEM
ocratic contemporary is to make its
warranty deed apply to the present
only. II Candidate Shallenberger is
not a pass-holder. 1t is only because
he sent his passes back In view of the
political emergency, OF they expired by
limitation and we're not renewed. But
there is no need of splitting hairs on
this subject. No matter how radical
Banker ShalIenberger's talk may now
be for the occasion 1t is notorious that
he is a railroad man through and
through. nominated by the railroad
wing of the democratic party and
preferred by the railroad bosses over
his republican opponent.

rHr spEnIAL GRANn InRr.

At the request of County Attorney
slabaugh the iadges of the district
court have summoned a special grand
Jury to look sato the question of ills-
gal combinations between ice dealers
and coal desters. This grand jury will
commence iga session October and
endeavor t. ascertain whether any
criminal acts have been committed by
those who are responsible for the ex-
orbitRnt prices exacted in this COM
munity for these two household neces-
stiles. That the grand jury viii have
full authority and power to force wit
nesses to give evidence goes without
saying. the onay question being
whether any discriminating evidence
can be secured establishing an oftense
under our laws as they exist.
The men at the head Of the ice busi-
ness IN Omaha have made themselves
so odious Of late by their arbitrary ae-
tons that they have been indicted in
the court Of public opinion on general
principles. A judicial inquiry was
made into the coal business in Omaha

1t may be the plan of the big rail-
roads to construe the new rate law as
strictly as possible at all points where
it pinches the public. but there is no
good reason for street railway COM
pany to follow this example. The
street railway company in Omaha
now has a contract with the letter car
riers for transporting them while on
duty In consideration of the payment
of a lump sum and there is no good
reason why such an arrangement
should not be continued on mutually
satisfactory terms.

PURE FOOD law ENFoRcEMENr.

PURE FOOD Law ENFORCEMENT.
The preparations for the enforcement
of the pure food law are impressing
Soth the authorities and manufac-
turers with the fact that many of its
provisions are Of more far-reaching
effect than was supposed at the time of
enactment, but the commission speci-
ally charged with administration, does
not propose to enforce it at the outset
In a manner to vex and disturb legiu-
mate business unnecessarily. The COM
missions preliminary work has been
directed with purpose to distinguish
the class that has been producing and
selling goods under false names and
that depend for their trade upon the
public, which ignorantly supposes the
articles placed in its hands to be other
than they are. Against all such the
rigor of the law and the energy of the
administration will be directed.
The great body of dealers and manu-
facturers will therefore be treasured
by the manner in which the commits
sion is proceeding under the wide dis.
cretionary pewers of the law. 1t is not
content merely with celebrating with
extreme care body of eighty
rules, covering almost the whole
field Of food supply. but In order to
secure Just and rational system has
invited all the interests affected to
thorough consideration and criticism,
with a view to any modification that
will better harmonic the convenience
OF business with public policy. The
new law indeed will make radical
changes in the general methods of
business as it was intended to do, but
its drastic remedies are to be applied,
especially at the outset. to fragrant
and systematic offenders against the
public health and commercial morality.
While the general business public
has reason to be treasured. those
against whose abuses the law is aimed
are naturally taking alarm as the time
draws near for the law to 90 into eff
feet. The tremendous effort to defeat
or emasculate the measure In its pro-
gress through congress has been con-
tinued before the commission to secure
administrative regulations by which
the law could be evaded and the very
frauds. which its central purpose is to
destroy, root and branch, could, In
part at least. still be perpetrated. Such
interests, though their plots have
failed, are as immensely rich and
powerful as they are utterly unscrupu
lous, the very essence of their business
being immoral, and the commission is
aware that every resource known to
predatory wealth will be exhausted in
the courts and elsewhere to annuI and
weaken the enforcement OF the law ION
the lines which have been determined
upon. 1t Is for this struggle that the
commission, backed by the full power
of the government, is devoting its en-
ergies now to prepare. and not for
oppression and undue annoyance of
honest merchants and manufacturers
who are expected to observe the law
In good faith, although there may be
many plumbers for long time, and
who in fact, win cooperate effectually
in bringing fraudulent manufacturers
to justice. ia.

LESSON IN SIMPLE HONESTY.
Pointed Preachment TO the Packing

|. Portland Oregonian.
Secretary Wilson held audience with forty
representatives of the various meat pack
ing plants OF the great western cities. He
played the important part OF mentor. urg-
ing these men to be honest IL they would
escape the universal condemnation of con-
sumers and find the way open for their
products to the markets of the world
Specifically, he told them that the labels

cles of food put out by them must tell ex-
actly what the cans contained There is.
as everyone knows. sausage and sausage.
1t is not enough for a can to be labeled
sausage" The kind OF sausage II contains
must be designated, whether of pork beef
or a combination OF the two. The secre-
tary forebore to mention another tradi-
tional element In sausage-making.
The lesson conveyed in the secretary's
few words carried with II a forcible illus
tration for gain-seared consciences 1t can
not be supposed that 1t contained anything
new In moral principle or its conception to
these worldly wise business men. IL they

ton OF refuse meat duly macerated under

The basis OF the whole complaint against
the products OF the packing plants Is re-
vealed In this exhortation 10 the packers
to practice the simple precepts OF honesty

TEXAS CATTLE SHIPPERS CASE.

The proceedings instituted by the
associated live stock raisers Of Texas
to annul the yarding charges at Chi
cago, signally emphasize the revolution
effected by the new rate. law In the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the chance to employ
the same for remedy for innumerable
classes of shippers grievances. The
Chicago yarding charges, which. are
included in the transportation rates.
have always been exceedingly obnoxi-
GUS to live stock men. and not long
after the original interstate commerce
law was passed they attacked their
legality. The commission decided that
they were without sanction of law and
ordered them discontinued. but the
railroad companies forthwith trans
ferred the matter to the courts, ignor-
ing the commissions order. and
through all the intervening years down
to the present moment have enforced
the yarding charges upon all who ship
live stock to Chicago.
The case is merely typical of practic-
ally all the capital grievances of ship
pers under the old law. so far as ex-
cessive charges are concerned, and in
deed the more excessive the charge. II
as in the case of live stock they oper-
ated to swell the carriers profits. the
greater was their temptation to defy
the commissions orders and to remove
the proceedings into the endless bogs
of judicial procedure. But after de-
cade of such notification to their hurt
the cattlemen are now encouraged to
renew their complaint before the com.
mission by the prospect which the
amended law holds out OF speedy and
effective remedy, for though appeal tc
the courts is not summarily cut on Il
is so limited that final decision cannot
| long be delayed

In an ideal state of human society there
