mayor of Omaha. to which he sue
ceeded upon the death of the late
Mayor Moores. Mayor Zimman will
have the satisfaction of yielding up
the executive chair of the city without
having anything in the record for

Although mayor in his own right

that Mayor Zimman has at least filled
the position creditably both to himself

respond to the call for assistance for
the Pacific coast earthquake victims
and in setting in motion and superin-
tending the relief work in Omaha he
demonstrated that he was fully up tie

The Man for the Emergency.

Plainview Republican Gep).
Just now the eyes of the people are
turned toward the United States senate.
That body acts as II charmed by railroad
and corporate magnates. The rate bill as
it passed the house cannot go through the
senate without an amendment in the form
of compromise. A great political up
heaval is going on all over the country.
The voice of the people is heard demand
ing senators free from corporate influences.
Such a demand is fortunate for Rosewater.
That valiant old fighter is certainly the
man for the emergency. His record along
those lines is all that is required to make
him popular. He is in full sympathy with
the present administration and were he
in the senate at this moment he would
be striking telling blows for the rate bill.
Rosewater has enemies, It is true, but
when they appear 1t will be hard to con-
vince the public that they are not labor
ing for the corporations, Being a candi-
date it is a question whether the republican
party dare turn down such a man at this
time. II cannot AFFORD to do It, There Is
a demand for such a man as he il in the
senate and, regardless of party, the people
will rally about him as their foremost
champion of their rights. For the good
of the party we would like to see all
the otaor ambitious candidates clear the
track FOR Rosewater and II any animosity
exists swallow it for the future welfare
Of their party.

The diversity OF expert opinion as to
the kind of canal that should be built
across Panama simply adds to the per-
plexity of legislators IL they undertake
to go on with the disappointing effort
to decide the question in the face of a
strong probability that a settlement
cannot be reached between the two
house. at this session OF congress.
The original plan of De Lesseps was
for sea-level waterway. 1t was
abandoned, however. after the French
company had long gone on with actual
work and the lock plan substituted.
The first canal commission after &C
QUESTION of the French rights was d.
vided as to canal type. Then President
Roosevelt's advisory board of expert
engineers, after exhaustive study. di-
vided. eight favoring the sea-level and
five the lock scheme. The minority
we're all American engineers, while
five of the majority were foreign en-
gineers. A majority of the present
canal commission. the chief engineer
Secretary Taft and the president him
self favor q lock canal.
Most Of these facts have been devel.
oped and we're perfectly known long
before congress convened. The senate
canal committee has merely put in it'
time rehashing them and minglina
them with a mass OF other Panama in
formation having no relevancy what
ever to the main question of type
which is pressing for final answer. i
is no wonder. therefore. that the com
mittee divided close 10 the middle,
II would indeed be surprising Il

SENATORIAL MINORITY TESTIMONY.

SENATORIAL MINORITY ESTIMONT.
The testimony OF the democratic
senators just before the final vote on
the rate question is in striking contrast
with the furious partisan deliverances
during the preceding week. Obviously,
II the latter had been sincere, the only
consistent course would have been for
them to vote against the bill. When it
came to the pinch neither the senate
minority nor the presidents foremost
assailants among them dared to go on
record in that manner.
Even Senator Bailey, in announcing
that he would vote for it, declared his
conviction that the bill is vast i'm
provement over the existing law" And
his side partner, Senator Tillman, ad-
mitted that the bill marks "a great ad-
vance," and he had the frankness to
say: But for the work of Theodore
Roosevelt in bringing this matter to
the attention of the country we would
not have any bill at all. The success
Of the issue is largely due to his ad-
vocacy."
This is going very far for senators
who had taken the attitude of these
two minority leaders, but not so far
as some other democratic senators who
agreed with Senator Teller in express
ing the opinion that the bill as
amended by the senate is a much bet
ter measure than when it came to the
senate"
The great mass Of the people, who
want results and whose chief demand
throughout the long controversy has
been that the house bill be not weak
ened in the senate. will not fail to note
these admissions made in spite of par
tisan interest and following a fierce
partisan outbreak. They constitute a
fitting conclusion to a controversy in
which from beginning to end the dem
ocratic party in congress has offered
on this paramount subject no party
measure of it's own as an alternative
t. the pending bill on which to submit
its case to the people,

CONFERENCE " THE RATE BILL

JUNFbhENDh 4 y IhE hAAh DILL
The senate rate bill amendments,
some of which are of great import
snce, have yet to run the gauntlet of
conference between the two branches
of congress. The most plausible opin-
ion is that no great dificulty need be
experienced in reaching agreement.
Important points added by the SEN
ate we're omitted from the original
house bill, not because those who had
charge Of drafting and managing it
we're opposed to them, but because
they naturally feared that the senate
would be opposed to them. They would
have been glad to include pipe line, ex-
press and sleeping car companies, but
1t was known that all those interests
had powerful influence in the senate,
and II was believed that a measure con-
fined to the main point of regulating
railroad rates and services would stand
a better chance. The rate reform
leaders in congress and the general
public have therefore been surprised
when the senate attached these and
other sweeping amendments.
Such conditions would seem to rem
der easy acceptance OF all that class of
senate changes. Newspaper reports
now emanating from Washington to
the effect that a contest will be made
in conference to eliminate the senate
provisions regarding pipe lines, express
and sleeping car companies cannot but
be regarded as unfounded, since 1t
could be sustained only through the
representatives of the house, which be-
yond question will act in harmony with
the president.
The house might be justified in
pushing to great length struggle to
restore to the bill the words lin its
Judgment" which at the last moment
were by the senate stricken out of the
clause authorizing the Interstate Com
MERGE commission to determine and
establish a rate of its own instead of a
railroad rate found by it to be unreas-
enable. The vote in the senate strik-
ing out those words, however, was
overwhelming, practically all the dem
ocrats, led by Bailey, joining about
half of the republicans, so that any
move to put them back in the bill
would be sure to encounter strong OPP
position.
The supreme consideration is to get
the measure safely out of congress and
on the statute book, and it is reason
able to anticipate that no time will be
wasted in conference in reaching this
great contamination.
