BRoTHERs.-Bishop Kemper of Kan
sas was the victim of a hold-up one
night when he was the only passen-
ger. The driver told the road agent
who had coverd him with a six-shoot'
er, that his only passenger was
bishop.
We'll" said the robber, wake uI
the old man, l want to go through
his pockets"
When the bishop was aroused
from a sound slumber and realized
the situation he gently demonstrated
with the man behind the gun. He
said:
Surely you would not rob a poor
bishop. l have no money worth your
while, and l am engaged in the dis
charge of my sacred duties"
Did you say you were bishop?
asked the road agent.
Yes, just a poor bishop"
What church,"
THE Episcopal church"

the church l belong to. Driver, you
may pass on."-Right Rev. Ethelbert
Talbert, in Harper's Magazine.

scheme, would not be business, but
folly, probably imperilling rather than
advancing any one Of them.
A point has already been reached at
which a rational scheme of interior
water transportation, no matter how
extensive, would be earnestly and fsv-
orably considered. and provision for It
through bonding operations might
even be made. Indeed, TO be rational
such a scheme would, from the nature
of things. have to be comprehensive,
and possibly might require apportion-
ment of the cost through bonds to an
other generation, to whom most Of the
benefits would inure.
The practical dificulty in the way of
efficient government agency at this
time is the lack OF consistent plan
for river improvement, upon which
the principal interests involved are
substantially agreed. An enormous
sum in the aggregate has actually been
expended by the government upon this
and cognate objects, but in a sporadic,
piecemeal way which has been no
toriously wasteful and inefficient. The
first indispensable step must be crys-
talization of public sentiment. at least
of the great interior region, upon a
feasible, thorough plan of river tran
sportation, whereupon financing pro-
vision, whether by bonds or otherwise
would become neither difficult nor
illogical. The present agitation for
bonds, while it may usefully serve to
concentrate attention upon the subject,
is not likely to promote it in any other
way.

oMAHA,s POLICE PROBLEM.

That Omaha's police department is
deficient in point of numbers, render
ing it inadequate to cover the terri
tory that requires police protection, is
not to be gainsaid. This is more par
ticularly true of late in view of the
spreading out of our population over
a wider and wider area. While the
personnel of the force might perhaps
be improved In certain directions,
Omaha's police problem is to get more
policemen. At the same time, with the
laws governing the police fund and its
expenditure as they are now, 1t is diff
cult to see how this problem can be
solved at any very early day
1t is reported sub rosa that the po-
lice board is contemplating taking the
bull by the horns and appointing thir-
ty-five more policemen, leaving 1t to
the future to find the means of en-
larging the police fund to meet such an
increased demand upon it. Such pro-
cedure on the part of the police board
would, in our opinion, be not only
Illegal. but inexcusable. The charter
specifically holds the police board to
the employment of police officers
within the limits of the revenue at its
disposal, and 1t likewise limits uncon-
ditionally the amount of money which
may be levied for the police fund.
While the council has in times past
been known to stretch a point or two
by transferring an appropriation from
the general fund to the police fund,
for the coming year the general fund
has been so skimped that 1t will hardly
meet the ordinary drafts upon It and
would be utterly depleted by such a
transfer to the police fund we're 1t to
be attempted. More than this, under
our present arrangements for munich
pal tax levy the municipal tax rate is
fixed practically year in advance, and
there is no way, even with legislative
sanction, to reopen the tax levy and
increase or decrease the rate. The
amount available for the police force
during the year 1907 is, therefore, ir-
revocably determined 80 far as it is to
be raised by taxation and will produce
no more than enough to maintain the
department in its present condition.
1t may be possible later to procure
a temporary addition to the police fund
from some other source of revenue, but
until the funds are actually at the dis
posal Of the police board It will have
no right to increase the payroll charges
by the appointment of additional off,
GERS. The Bees advice to the police
board is to keep strictly within the
law and not to load the city up with
any obligations to defray which there
is no money in sight.

PURE room LAW.
Changes for the better Bcgin with
the New Year
ChicaCo Post

Chicago Post.
One Of the most important reforms ever
undertaken in the United States will he
accomplished when the national pure food
law goes into effect on next Tuesday, New
Years day What this means to the people
Of the country few probably realize. II
means that III they see It on the label u
Is soi' that at last they will know exactly
what they arc buying and will get what
they ask for. Furthermore. they will know
that the watchful eye OF government chem.
lists is fixed on the manufacture giving q
good assurance that no poisonous or un.
wholesome coloring or similar matter has
been used In the preparation OF the food
stufs.
As matter OF fact. there always was
more smoke than fire In the entire pure
food agitation. Dyes, more or less harm
less In small quantities, were used, II il
true but few persons probably ever were
harmed by partaking OF prepared foods.
That however. is a forgotten Issue The
new law which will go into force with
the coming Of the New Year will put a
stop to deception. Henceforth the pur-
chaser Of farm sausage" may rest as
sured that It is farm sausage II the labe,
so states. wild cherry phosphate" must

icals may be; and "deviled ham, must be
made from ham and not from scraps OF
various kinds of meat.
One immediate and important result %
the new law undoubtedly will be the res
toration of foreign confidence in American
timed foods. The widely proclaimed
stock yards expose" did much harm TO
even the best OF the American packing
companies, but this prejudice the new law
Is expected to wipe out Indeed. II seems
safe to predict far greater prosperity for
the packers and other manufacturers of
edibles now that their goods are known to
meet the governments strict requirements.
After all, honesty is the best policy
In this connection It is pleasant to con-
slider the opinion Of DIR. II. w Wiley,
chief OF the bureau OF chemistry. Many
people, from reading sensational newspaper
reports, have become infected with the
theory that the food manufacturers are
the greatest of rogues. They will be sur
prised, therefore to read this statement Of
DR.. Wiley:
About 9S per cent of the persons affected
by this legislation are honest at heart
The other 2 per cent are now anxious to
be honest. Many persons who were placing
impure food on the tables OF the public
before this legislation was enacted have
FASTENED to make a change in their bust
ness methods. They welcomed the law In
many instances competition compelled them
to do things they did not wish to do"
Really, we Americans are not nearly so
black as we sometimes paint ourselves.

CORN PRODUCTS INDUSTRIES.
Expanding Versatility of the King

Baltimore American.

Baltlmore american.
No matter how great the American corn
crop may be, the world "absorbs" It and
is glad to have 1t. 1t Is not so many years
ago that the newspapers heralded in big
headlines the fact that. the courtry's corn
crop had touched the round billion. The
effect upon the worlds markets Of such
an enormous yield of this coarse" grain.
which is not supposed to be used largely
for breadmaking, was asked with an APP
parent trepidation, lest the price of corn
should sink TO the zero point. But the
world at large took the billion CROP and
last year II absorbed approximately
200. 900 bushels Of the white and yellow
grain, and the crop Of this year, accord
ing to Department of Agriculture estI-
mates, will be very close to 100000, 900
bushels. Nobody now has much fear that
this tremendous yield will not be taken at
fairly remunerative prices TO the growers,
for corn is probably put to more different
uses, is changed into more commodities
that are sold in jugs. bottles, packages
by the quart. pound and ounce-than any
other primary product
Corn products include a vast variety OF
things that look very different from corn
and very different from each other The
spirits that are barreled and bottled, and
that are classed as ardent, are made more
largely from corn than from any other
fruit, vegetable or cereal. The glucose of
commerce comes principally from corn and
fifty other edible products are extracted
from the maize kernels. II is not surprls-
ing therefore, 10 learn. in connection with
the statement that the Corn Products
trust is intending to center its manufactur.
Ing activities In Chicago, that the plant to
be erected will involve an outlay of s. 900, OOo
and consist OF as many as thirty-three
buildings; that 1000 men are 10 be employed
and that the output will amount TO 10000
bushels every day. This big plant will turn
about 100000 bushels of the country's an
nual corn crop into commodities that are
not sold as corn. This 100000 is. of course,
but a minor item In the aggregate of a
5000. 10000 crop but the distilleries that
are distributed from Buffalo 10 Houston
and from Baltimore to San Francisco will
account for many other millions Of bushels
Pork and beef are. of course. also TO be
elassed largely as corn products. The hog
crop In particular is but a transmitted
form OF the corn crop. II Is always a
question for the farmer 10 determine
whether 1t will pay him better to turn
his corn into pork or 10 ship Il in the
original form. During recent years the
great foreign demand for American pork
has caused a large percentage OF the corn
yield to vanish from the visible supply. q"
not to reappear again except in hams and

DENATURED ALCOHOL MANUFACTURE.
Department of Agriculture bulletins
indicate that under the initial regula-
lions manufacture of denatured al
cohol by individual farmers will not
be practical, at least as general prac-
tice. The regulations have, of course.
been drawn with chief attention to pre-
vention of frauds on the revenue Of
cussion of tax-free alcohol for the arts
and which naturally would be promi-
nent in the minds of the revenue
authorities in early experience under
the law.
How far manufacture can be local
lied, even II not yet practical at small
farm stills. can only be determined
experimentally, but particular pains
have been taken SO to draft the rules
as, while protecting revenue, to favor
distilleries at the smaller towns, near
the sources of raw materials. But
manufacture of this as of other arti-
cles, is likely to be determined by gen.
eral Industrial forces.
The chief public interest in which
farmers, both as consumers of de-
natured alcohol and as producers OF
the raw materials for it especially
share, is that this new substitute for
agents of light, heat and power al
ready monopolized, shall not itself fall
under control of monopolizing com.
binations and trusts. Such a result
If 1t should happen, would infallibly
and swiftly cause the same irresisti
BILE demand for relaxed revenue regu-
lations as has just caused tax exemp

event the government upon its owl
motion may be expected to modify

ence in administering the system shows
