just two years ago. During this
time nearly $50 children have been
cared for. Homes have been found
for % children Of whom q have
been adopted. There are at pres
ent nine little ones under five years
Of age in the home. This is a brief
sketch of the noble work the In

The protective" feature Of the
association is demonstrated by the
facts that II children have been
placed under it's protection by the
Juvenile court. Six of these have
been placed in homes Of relatives,
three returned to their mothers.
two have been placed IN private
homes which will probably be per

This association is doing a noble
work at the st, Marks Hospital.
The object of the organization is
to provide for the destitute pa
tents who come without means,
to pay for medical attention. Dur
ing the last six months, thirty
seven cases have been cared for at
an expense of over $1,000. Your sup

BIG STICK AND PITCHFORK.

Washington Post: The pitchforS and the
big stick are buried together and two
strange bedfellows again illustrate the mys-
FERROUS ways of Providence and politics.
Kansas City Star: The president seems
to be OF the opinion that party rate bill
without any power to regulate the rail-
roads would be of precious little value TO
the republican organization. The fact that
Aldrich and his ieelers in the senate take
issue with him has not weakened his po-
sition to a degree that is perceptible to
the people.
Wall Street Journal: The report of the
senate committee on interstate commerce in
favor of the Hepburn railway rate bill is a
great triumph for President Roosevelt. The
selection of Senator Tillman, who is the
bitterest personal critic of the president, to
take charge OF the rate bill in the senate,
is a triumph for Senator Adrch and other
republican enemies of the presidents rail-
way rate policy. Which is the greater
triumph?
Indianapolis News: There may be a
shrewd trick in putting Tillman, disiked
by the president. in charge of the rate bill.
But TiIman refuses to be considered a
Joke; and If his colleagues really put him
forward in the hope that his prominence in
connection with the measure would dis
credit 1t, they are very like to find that they
have overreached themselves. The aver
age American citizen does not take kindly
to Joking and trickery in the conduct and
discussion of tremendously serious affairs,
and the people are very much in earnest on
the rate question.

Nan DOomed by His Clothes.

Memphis Sclmitar
We now Iknox. why the scepter is slowly
passing from thei hands OF the masculine
1t is because of his clothes.
Miss Agnes Repplier a Philadelphia es-
sayist and club woman, says so.
She says so long as men wore costumes
that interpreted their strength. enhanced
their responsiveness and concealed their
shortcomings" so long women accepted
them as masters.
When men rashly abandoned the bright
costumes that charmed the other sex they
saw their finish.
Miss Repplier thinks women were wise
as serpents in not abating glad clothes,
or words to that effect. Dress enhances
woman's beauty and copceals her defects.
Her garb is her weapon. She is following
nature, as the bright plumaged birds, and
nature gives her ascendancy.
And there you are.
The situation seems hopeless.
Either men must go back to velvet knee
breeches and gold buckles. slashed doublet.
lace trimmings, feathered hat and lingerie
or let woman go on dominating.
1t is up to man.

RATE REGULATION IN ONO.

The Legislature of Ohio having passed
law prescribing 2-cent fare on
the railroads IN the state has now
under consideration bill for the further
regulation of rates. The Cleveland
Leader states that Il is modelled some
what on the Wisconsin law which Gov
ernor LaFollette was instrumental in
framing and getting through the legisla-
ture. II provides for the creation of
railroad commission of three members,
the commissioners to be appointed by
the governor and subject to removal by
him for cause at any time. This body is
to exercise supervision over all railroad
traffic and charges in Ohio. 1t must
take cognizance of complaints Of unjust,
oppressive, discriminating or unlawful
rates, rules or exactions of whatever
Kind. 1t may fix rates, subject to re-
view by the courts, for any service rem
dered by railroad companies or other
common carriers. Rates and regulations
so established are to stand until or I'M
less altered by judicial decree. No in
junction is to be operative against a
rate fixed by the commission, pending
a hearing in open court.
All subsidiary or auxiliary companies
connected with the traffic of railroads
and their service TO the public are COW
cred by the bill. 1t prohibits all forms
Of discrimination and requires the full
est publicity as TO rates Departures
from the established schedule, except
for charity, government service, the
transportation of the household goods of
employees of common carriers. or
changes open to all corners, as in the
case of public excursions, are strictly
forbidden. It is made n misdemeanor
knowingly to accept any rebate or dis
eliminating rate. For many years there
has been little complaint in Ohio regard
ing the railroads, but the people of that
state evidently have concluded that
there is necessity for a better system of
railroad regulation. The bill now be-
fore the legislature will doubtless be
passed. Meanwhile the railroads pro-
pose to contest the 2-cent fare law and
it is needless to say will make every
possible effort TO defeat the rate regu-
lation bill.

TO AVERT A STRIKE.

President Roosevelt's letter to John
Mitchell urging that another effort be
made to avert a strike of coal miners,
is timely and should have a good effect.
The public will concur in the view ex-
pressed by the president that a strike
such as is threatened is a menace to
the peace and general welfare of the
country. If 1t should become general,
embracing both the bituminous and an
thracite miners, and be prolonged, it is
scarcely possible to estimate the dis
astrous and calamitous consequences. 1t
would be very likely to practically par
causing a loss to these in comparison
with which the losses of operators and
miners would be inconsequential. Mil
lions of people employed in the in
dustries would undoubtedly be affected,
for while the present stock of coal is
reported to be large it is probably not
more than sufficient to supply the de-
mand for few weeks.
Sucn CONNECT would be deplorable
from every point Of view and no effort
should be spared to avert it. There is
reason to at least hope that the conven-
ton Of operators and miners to be held
next month will be able to come TO an
agreement 1t is stated that the btumi-
nous coal operators are disposed to make
concessions and II is thought that the
miners will be found willing to meet
them at least half way. 1t should be the
earnest desire and effort Of both sides to
preserve industrial peace. so that, the
prosperous conditions which now prevail
may be continued. The timely interven-
ton of President Roosevelt is to be
heartily commended.

extend TO both the bituminous and the
anthracite roads and there Is no doubt
that congress can take action regarding
the former, there is n question whether
II can do anything respecting the latter,
owing TO the fact that the owning and
mining Of coal by the anthracite roads
is authorized by their charters. II there
fore appears to be matter which can
be dealt with only by the state of Penn
sylvania. II is held that the recent de-
cision of the supreme court OF the United
States in the Chesapeake & Ohio rail
road case does not apply to the Penn
sylvania anthracite roads. That it APP
plies TO the bituminous coal monopoly
established by combination of rail
roads seems, however, TO be unquestion-
able, and there is apparently no good
reason why proceedings should not be
at once instituted to break up the com
bination and destroy the monopoly. The
evidence at hand would seem to be
sufficient, without further investigation,
to warrant such action. Meanwhile the
railroads in the combination are con-
tinuing their determinations and exac-
TONS in unmlstakable violation of the
law and TO the serious injury of the
business of the independent operators,
who manifestly have a just claim to
protection against the monopoly.

RAILROAD COAL MONOPOLY.

1t appears probable that in the in
vestigation of the alleged railroad coal
monopoly little difficulty will be found
in obtaining evidence to sustain the
charge. Almost every day there is fur
nished testimony that such a monopoly
exists and that the injury and injustice
resulting from it are sufficiently serious
to justify investigation. One of the
independent coal companies of West Viz
GINA, In letter to Representative
Hughes of that state. alleges that for
long time officials Of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad have held stock in coal
company and owing to the intimate re-
lations between the company and the
railroad officials the condition of the
independent operators has become well
nigh insufferable.
The statement is made that MANY Of
the independent operators have been
forced to sell out and many more are
hanging onto property so handicapped
That ii cannot be sold. While
'"'Nuu Spol COHpdnNS mines
run fairly full always and their annual
statements show large profits, the indie
pendent operators, many of them with
very up-to-date plants, have during the
same years made serious losses, greatly
impaired their capital and contracted
ruinous debts. The letter points out
how impossible il is for independent
operators to compete with the railroad
companies, while unfair Determinations
are practiced by the latter. II is reason
any believed that the policy of the rail
road ofheials is 10 force the independent
operators to sell out 10 them. This re-
iates TO the bltuminous coal fields of
pennsylvania, West Virginia and Viz
sihla' but very similar situation exists
IN the anthracite field, where the indie
pendent operators are completely at the
mercy Of the railroads. The latter own
most of the mines and it has been re-
peatediy shown that they continually
discriminate against the independent
mine owners in the matter OF transporta-
ton thereby having an advantage
which IL very nearly destructive of COM

YELLOW PLAYS AND YELLOW PAPERS

YELLOW PLAYS AND YELLOW PAPERS.
Bishop Scannells scathing arraign-
ment Of the demoralizing play has
evoked an approving response from the
people of this community who are thor
oughly impressed with the viciousness,
especially for young people, of many Of
the shows that are being put before the
public in these days.
The yellow theater, however, is not
doing one-tenth the damage to the NOR
ais Of the people that is being done by
the yellow press. We have examples
right here in Omaha of yellow journal
ism of the most jaundiced hue, injecting
daily doses of poison virus into every
household to which they are admitted.
Their glorificatio,. of crime gives stand
ing examples for the imitation of Young
America, who get the idea from these
pictorial police gazettes that the hard
ened outlaw is a hero and the night
prowling burglar patriotic citizen.
Their degrading descriptions of revolt
ing vice are cunningly pictured in al
Turing colors as invitations to the young
low backed dime novels, which children
. of old were ashamed to be caught read
ing, find daily counterparts in the tic-
ton columns of these yellow sheets that
pass the door of too many homes with
out question.
Day in and day out, these yellows
preach the gospel of discomfort and stir
up the prejudices of poor against rich.
False notions of what constitute sue
cess are inculcated and appeals made to
the lowest passions. That such seeds
should tend to terminate into morbid
sentiment and create an atmosphere in
the community dangerous to healthy
thought and righteous living is inevita-
BILE.
If, as the good bishop admonishes, 1t
is incumbent upon parents to forbid
their boys and girls attending lurid
melodramas and watching the vulgar
display Of cheap actresses, Is 1t not
equally their duty to protect them from
the infection of immortality through
print and picture, disguised in the name
of a daily newspaper? While the peo-
pie of Omaha have their attention d.
rected to the perils of the yellow play,
let them ponder also on the perils of the
yellow paper and take precaution
against the poison of the one as much
as against the poison of the other.

Fremont Herald The Herald would like
to see 2-cent passenger law enacted in
Nebraska. The railroads say this IL y
new state; that some parts of the state
are sparsely settled and that they cannot
afford TO carry people for less than cents
per mile. We contend that under the
present system the railroads OF Nebraska
do not get an average OF cents per mile
In money for the passengers carried. Two
thousand politicians in the state are rid,
ing on annual passes and 90 900 other pee
pie are given trip passes every year. II
a 2-cent passenger law would cause the
railroads to cut of these passes, that
would suit all the people except those
who get the passes The railroads also
say that If the 2-cent law should be en-
acted in Nebraska II would be necessary
to quit granting special rates to state
conventions Of all kinds. The people would
not grumble at that, either What the
people do want is a fair local passenger
rate and the proof that everybody is
treated alike in the matter of paving

THE DISGRACE OF OMAHA.
Eastern Comment on
the Grove Verdict.
Rroolxlyn Eagle


Several years ago noted thief and
desperate named Pat Grove stole a child
from Mr.. Cudahy of Omaha and held him
for ransom The money was paid. the
child was liberated and Grove fled the
country, but recently came back and be-
gan again TO make his living by acts of
dishonesty and violence Having been
caught he was put on trial in Omaha. The
trial resulted in complete proof of his
guilt in the kidnapping case, letter hav-
ing been found that involved a full con-
fession. In face of the evidence a jury
of Omaha men has set the man free, and
the mob in the court room, that had ex-
pected the verdict, broke ont cheering as
the rufiian was acquitted.
This is an extraordinary incident to have
occurred in a land of enlightenment, where
the laws are supposed to reflect at least an
ordinary morality, and where the courts
are thought to be agencies of justice. 1t
seemed hardly less remarkable to the peo-
pie of Omaha than to the rest of us. The
day after the verdict became known the
papers were filled with denunciations of
the jury by representative citizens and the
unpopularity of the jurors is hardly less
than that of Grove. Indignation after
ward, however, does not relieve Omaha
from tne responsibility TOT having turned
over jury service TO men OF that caliber.
The city must take responsibility for its
jurymen as well as for its elected officials.
The reason for the acquittal of Grove is
to be considered. however. and 1t is that
many people hate Mr.. cudahy because he
is a member OF a trust that charges too
much for beef Because they hate the
victim of a crime they will encourage
meaner criminals to perpetrate other
crimes against him, and, incidentally, en-
courage brute conduct In the whole class
10 which Grove belongs. Perhaps no mem
Der OF the jury would steal Mr.. cudahy's
son, or his money, yet like coward. he
will stand for theft and outrage so long
as Mr. Cudahy is the victim. Mr.. Cudahys
business and personality had nothing TO do
with the question at issue. II was the
duty of the jury TO find in accordance
with the eAdence, and IL would have been
Its duty just the same had a child OF Fat
Grove been stolen. Instead of the son Of a
millionaire. Child stealing Is absolutely
unforgivable and merits death. II Mr..
