OMAHA AS GRAIN MARKET
Resources of City VIII he Exploited
in Railway Age by secre-
tary McVann.

The Railway Age has begun a series Of
articles on the future Of the great primary
grain markets of the country, and the
first article, relative to st. Louis, appeared
last week. Omaha, as a market where de-
velOpment has been rapid in the last three
years and where still more wonderful devGl-
opment is promised, is to be given gem
erous space. At the request of the man
agement Of the paper Secretary McVann of
the Omaha Grain exchange has written an
article on the Omaha market, the condi-
tons favorable and unfavorable to its de-
velopment and the possibilities Of it's
future. 1t is expected to appear this week.
The article on st. Louis was written by
]. c. Lincoln Of the st. Louis traffic bureau
Of the Merchants exchange. A part of 1t.
especially interesting to local grain men as
it refers to Omaha indirectly, runs as fol-
lows:
As a grain market St. Louis has been
living dormant for a number Of years be-
cause Of artificial conditions and discrim-
nations that have been practiced against
this market, but which appear to be rapidly
passing away. Big lines of elevators have
been operating in the interior in the inter.
est OF terminal houses located at points
other than st. Louis, and, through their
operations creating artificial markets to Sc.
cure advantages enjoyed by putting the
grain through the elevators and through
favorable rates obtained by line operators
St. Louis has been Disseminated against
as these preferences have not been en-.
joyed by this market except in the slightest
degree. AS we may now hope that by en-.
fOrcement Of the laws preferential rates
and favors will be discontinued and every
man will be on common ground, we conf.
IDENTIFY believe St. Louis will come into It's
natural advantages and will progress as nj
other grain market.
Another paragraph of interest reads;
The present need Of st. Louis is for
greater and modern elevator and storage
facilities, more capital in the grain trade Il
accumulate and hold stocks to meet tht
domestic and export demands also firm,
with necessary capital and foreign CORE,
spOndents for the handling OF export grair
direct TO the foreign customer.

pRIzE RING MURDERS.

It is more than probable that the
gentle game Of prize-fighting has re-
ceived its death blow in San Francisco.
one of the very few refugees still open
TO pugilists- Two killings In the ring
within a month constitute an ugly fact.
The last one was a particularly brutal
affair. A man who was absolutely
helpless was beaten so teTri6caHy that
few hours later he died.
There is no possible justification for
that sort of thing. The referee should
have stopped the fight when the man
who did the killing had his opponent at
? point where he could not defend him
self. The referee failed in his duty,
and he is equally responsible with the
pugilist for the homicide The police.
too, cannot eyade responsibility. They
were at the ringside and they should
have stopped the fight when the referee
refused 10 do so.
The argument is made that the dead
pugilist did not lose his life as a result
of the fearful pummeling he received
One story says that he was subject to
epileptic fits and that he really died
In one of them. Another report is that
between rounds he was given strych-
nine to keep him Up to his work, and
that the strychnine killed him. II
would not be surprising il somebody
should assert that the stricken fighter
fell against the fist Of his antagonis:
and so committed suicide. Still. one
cold fact cannot be argued away. II
the fighter who is dead had not en-
tered the ring he would be alive today
Nobody will dispute that proposition.
Properly conducted boxing matches
are not dangerous TO life or limb, but
matches in which one man is permitted
10 pummei another who cannot raise
his hands to defend himself should be
prohibited in every decent community.
They are brutalizing. debasing, degrad-
ing spectacles. bad for those who see

HIGHER GOVERNMENT SALARIES

The GaliingC- bill providing for in
creases in the salaries of the president,
vice president, speaker of the house,
cabinet members and senators. and rep
resentatives is entitled to and should
receive favorable consideration. The
measure proposes 20 pay TIE president
$4,000 instead of $4,000 a year, the vice
president and members of the cabinet
$4,000 instead of $1,000 tI-a speaker of
the house $4,000 instead of $1,000. and
senators and representatives $500 III
stead of $1,000.
The increase proposed are not at all
unreasonable. They will not, If the bill
becomes a law, take effect until March
4. 1909. 50 that the house of representa-
tives 10 be elected next fall will not
benefit by it. The terms of sixty of the
present senators viii have expired be-
fore the date named for the law to take
effect So the thirty senators whose
terms run beyond March 4, 1909, could
refrain from voting on the bin and IL
might still become a law.
The agitation for a substantial in
crease in the presidential salary has
been going OH for a long time The
cost Of maintaining the dignity of the
office has increased tremendously.
There is little doubt that President
Roosevelt WI quit the place d poorer
man than when he entered it. We
should pay our presidents at least
enough 10 enable them to entertain
properly. The present salary is entire
y cut of proportion to the work aud
the responsibility.
The same thing may be said with
justice about the salaries of cabinet Of
ficers and the vice president. There is
not a member. of the cabinet who
doesn't make a large money sacrifice
every year he remains in office None
of them can POSSIBLY live. at the scale
at which they are absolutely required
to live, and not spend more than IS, 000
a year. All Of them could make very
much more money IN private life.
The average representative and sem
ator is in the same position. A great
majority of them could earn more than
$1,000 a year in private life. Those who
are honest, and most of them are, make
personal sacrifices in order 10 stay in
congress. It is certainly possible to be-
lieve that the character of congress in
respect TO ability would be improved
by an increase in the pay Of the men,
bers.

them, bad for those who read about
them. There is no true sportsmanship
in them, nothing whatever to excuse
their continued existence.
More men are killed in football games
than in prize-fghts, but that does not
Justify the killing of men IN prize
rings. Football is regarded by many
as an extremely rough, rowdy, dan
gerous game that should be forever
prohibited. but that does not make the
beating OF used-up men in a prize ring
any less brutal, any less shocking, any
less detestabIe.

ELECTRICITY AND EYEsIeHT.

Dr. II. Preston Pratt, testifying IN
an action for damages in the sum of
$4,000 filed by a Chicago woman
against an electric traction COM
pany, declares that we will eventually
pay with blindness for our electric
lights and electrical power. The plain
tiff in the case claims that she has been
rendered partly blind and paralyzed by
an electric current generated by the
defendant that passed into her body
through the atmosphere. If her claim
is ordered paid she viii have opened a
way for much litigation that viii be
expensive to the companies generating
electricity for lights and power.
Most interesting is the theory that.
unless we stop using so much electrici-
~. we viii ali go blind. DR.. Pratt tes-
titled that eve troubles have been in
creasing at an alarmingly rapid rate
and he attributes the fact to electricity.
Shocks from telephone batteries, sparks
from trolley poles, the swapping and
cracking Of dynamos. wavering ihcan-
descents, sputtering arc lights, all are
doing their work according to DR..
Pratt, toward making the United
States "a specialized and blinking ma
ton"
Most people will refuse to become
excited over the matter, however.
American citizens, whether they were
born in Missouri or not, are strongly
imbued with the theory that they must
be showed" Let somebody prepare
statistics regarding workers around
electrical plants. also electric railway
employees, motormen. conductors, line
men for telephone and telegraph and
electric light and power companies. Are
their eyes falling? Are any of them
going blind? What percentage of them
are affected, and may not the troubles
of a considerable proportion of the
affected percentage be due to age or
something besides electricity?
a good deal will depend upon the
answers to these questions. If eye
troubles among electrical workers are
no more numerous than among the
other classes of employees then there
cannot be a great deal i'll DR.. Pratt's
theory. If, on the other hand, it is
shown that electricians suffer to a con-
siderable extent there viii be reason
for believing he may be right. Certain
ly until more reliable data is at hand
there viii be no cause for alarm.

nlsRENsARIEs A FAILURE.

The South Carolina dispensary sys-
tenn. an experiment in state control and
management of the traffic in intoxi-
cants. is about to be discarded because
it has proven to be a failure. The leg
islature has passed a bill doing away
with the dispensaries and restoring the
old licensing and police regulation plan.
The dispensary law was passed in the
hope that it would result in decreasing
the use Of intoxicants. The state owned
the dramshops and refused to sell in
toxicants except under the most rigid
regulations.
Liquors could not be drunk on the
premises on which they were sold
minors were not permitted about the
places, no whisky was sold to men
known to be drunkards. For a time the
plan worked very we'll, indeed. Then
blind pigs" or places where liquor Is
sold without a license, began to spring
UP. Presently the state was honey
combed with them and, try as they
would. the officers could not break
them UP.
Finally the state was shocked by
stories of scandals in the purchase of
liquors by agents Of the state. It was
said that state officers were receiving
commissions from whisky distillers and
merchants for buying their wares. So
matters went from bad to worse. until
the demand for the repeal of the law
became too great to be resisted. The
GROWING blow was the supreme courts
decision that the state must pay in
ternal revenue taxes on its liquor sales
just as private saloonmen do.
