closed around and took fourth place
alongside of Go Between. In the
stretch Go Between closed on Running

THE ARMSTRONG BILLS.


One after another the measures so
carefully elaborated for reform of in
surance law and administration are be
ing passed by the New York Legislature.
The bills already passed are far more
thorough-going than the brief summar-
les in the Geographic reports would in
dictate. Each of the four bills just passed
in one day. to regulate lobbying more
stringently. to punish drastically falsi-
fication of books and records, to prohibit
political contributions and TO qualify any
pollcyholder of stock life insurance
company to act as a director therein.
though not stakeholder. make COM
prehensive measure drawn and per-
fected with exceeding pains to meet the
specific classes of abuses developed in
the memorable legislative investigation
during the past year It is the notable
merit of this investigation. not only
that II enlightened the committee and the
legislature by the information directly
produced at it's hearings. immensely i'm
pOrtant as such information alone is, but
also that it excited nationwide inter
est, making available the suggestions
from all points of view of the best iudg-
ments everywhere.
1t is noteworthy that the legislature,
after thorough consideration, has
promptly passed the bills thus developed
and reported by the Armstrong commit
tee and that il has rejected every impor.
tant amendment proposed for the pur.
pose of weakening them, changing them
only TO improve and strengthen them
And it is believed that the rest of the
series Of bills still pending will he dis
posed of in the same salutary spirit. The
effect will be benefcially felt in every
state in the union. because the New
York legislation will serve as a mode
for insurance reform. Ii will go ever
far beyond that, stimulating and direct
ing reform in dealing with all Other
kinds Of corporations as well as life in
surance.

FARM AND FACTORY.

American industrial statistics in the
two great fields of iron production and
agricultural exports are of the most en-
couraging significance. In both all re.
cords have been broken the last month,
which follows a series of months of I'M
exampled operations. The increase of
the value of our agricultural exports
very evenly distributed in the great
items Of breadstuffs, provisions and cot
ton during the eight months ending with
February, is almost startling, the total
being S70O,OO0OO0 against $56S, 600, 900
during the same period of the proceed
ing fiscal year. Nor is this case
where agricultural exports have ex-
banded because OF extraordinarily low
prices, the exact reverse beiRg true. Yet
notwithstanding this immense increase,
the percentage of value of exported
farm produce to the total value OF ex-
ports is smaller than ever before in our
history, save only two years ago, when
the former fell off abnormally because
Of shortage of our grain crop, DEMON
strating the prodigious growth and bulk
of foreign buying Of our manufacturers.
Pig iron production. universally nc.
cepted as the truest exponent of gen
eral industry, is, likewise, proceeding at
an unprecedented rate. In March It ex.
ceeded by 100000 tons the highest pre-.
vious record, and the average for many
previous months is correspondingly high
while great activity in every branch OF
the iron and steel trades is maintained
Yet all the production in this basic in
dustry is taken at once for consumption
the stocks on hand being reported at the
lowest figure in recent history.
Whether we look towards agricultural
or manufacturing industry, or examine
their inter-relations, the scene is one OF
marvellous activity, prosperity and ex
pansiOn. The operations actually OF
foot cover a considerable period in tn,
future, with no serious cloud upon tn,
more distant prospect, but every infer
ence from the known broad and firm
business conditions is favorable anC
hopeful.

City Attorney Breen is one Of the
nominees on the republican ticket who
came out of the primary with a clear
majority over all competitors. The -only
substantial point made against him in
the primary campaign was that when
chosen for the vacancy he had let all
the democratic assistants and employees
of his predecessor continue in office.
He will, no doubt, If elected, on his own
account remove the cause of this OBJ
lection and there is no reason why he
should not have the undivided support
Of all the republicans.

DIRECT SENATORIAL ELEcT1oys

DIRECT SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.
That part Of the Norris series Of reso-
lutions calling for constitutional
amendment providing for election OF
senators by direct vote Of the people VIII
fail as unanimously and enthusiastically
in the senate as it passed in the house,
as all amendment proposals Of the sort
have heretofore done. The constitution
will not be changed in this respect either
upon the initiative Of the present sen
ate or with its consent. or in any way
except over its opposition. Thoughtful
advocates of the system of direct cleo
ton Of senators have long been con-
vinced of the fact that the only prac-
teal mode that will ever be available
for such constitutional change is
through the application therefor Of the
legislatures Of two-thirds of the states,
with the subsequent constitutional rati
fication; a method so difficult and tedi
Gus that practical effort to make the
United States senate more responsive to
the will of the people is now more and
more taking the direction of direct pri
mary reform. which. though far from
being so satisfactory as a direct cleo
ton. of uniform effect in all the states
nevertheless can be so arranged as &c
secure the substance of many of its adj
vantages.
The passage of Joint resolutions fol
such amendment by the house is useful
however, at once enforcing upon public
attention the obstructive tendency of the
senate and signifying the strength anC
persisteney Of popular sentiment in ia
vor OF the change. The change il
method of senatorial elections is bounC
to come one way or another.

CITY TREASURER JENNINGS

The transfer of the city treasurers
office to the custody of County Treas
urer Fink, who has now become ex-
Otficio city treasurer under the new char
ter, marks the close OF the career of A.
II. Hennings as city treasurer Of
Omaha. While under the charter provi
sion for the merger, Mr.. Hennlngs'
term of Office is protected up to its ex-
piration next month. he has been re-
lieved of his active duties and official
responsibilities We believe all our
good citizens will concur in the verdict
that City Treasurer Hennings has given
the best Administered ton OF that office
ever known.
1t will be admitted that his entry
into the treasury six years ago was
the result of a political accident. But
Mr.. Hennings turned out to be a politi-
cal accident who made good. During
the period that he has been in charge
of the municipal finances, he has col
lected and disbursed in taxes, proceeds
of bond sales and other municipal rev.
enues, grand total approximatine
close to $1S,5OO.OOO. His accounts have
been checked no every month by comp
trollers Of the same and opposite politi-
cal affiliation and the cash balances
counted without at any time subjecting
him 10 question.
During this period. too, City Treas
urer Hennings has turned back to the
credit of the taxpayers in interest earn
ings on the public money deposited in
1 local banks more than $4,000. He
/ has brought the collection of delinquent
personal taxes TO a system, by which
they have been promptly covered into
the treasury, saving not only the city
! from losses. but also the taxpayers from
penalties and interest. City Treasurer
| Hennings carried into execution the
preliminary work, so far as it related tc
city taxes and special assessments, for
the operation of the scavenger law.
While all this work has made the ex.
penses Of the ONCE larger. the receipts
and results have been more than com
mensZrate.
City Treasurer HenniHgs may have
the satisfaction OF knowing that he goes
out of office with something with which
no promotion or election to other office
could compare record for integrity
and fidelity, and the sincere apprecls

BATTLE FOR RATE REGULATION.
Victory for the square Deal Prsc
ticalIy Won.


Kansas City Star.
Some of the champions of railway special
privilege are predicting defeat for Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's rate regulation policy.
Some friends OF regulation are becoming
disheartened over the prospects of the rate
bill. There is no reason for rejoicing on
the one hand or encouragement on the
other There will be new rate law. and
It will be a good lava Ions step I'm the
right direction. Indeed, the president has
already won a victory that cannot be dis
counted by any probable outcome OF the
deliberations on the rate bill.
The country should recall the indigna-
ton, the protestations. the threats and the
defiance Of the railway magnates when
the president first declared his policy Of
government regulation OF rates. Compare
that attitude with the present acceptance
by the railways of the fact that the gov
eminent not only has the power to regu-
late, but that law to that end will be
enacted. These officials now devote them
selves wholly to what they regard as the
most important features of the bill, not TO
the proposition as a whole, not 10 the prin-
ciple involved
Consider. too. the attitude Of members
OF congress toward the presidents policy
when II was first enunciated. There was
something like rebellion among the con
servatives;" there almost panic
among the republican leaders. But now
after more than a years elaboration and
discussion by congress. the press, the mag
azines and numerous speakers and pamph-
letters. the Hepburn bill has passed the
house by an almost unanimous vote and
the senate has narrowed down its diner
enoes TO practically single amendment
And in all this time the president has
not yielded a single point calculated to
weaken the original purposes Of the bill.
He has stuck to his issue. SO far az he
has manifested a willingness TO accept a
court review clause, IL IL only 20 the end
