Winnipeg, Man.. July a1-" Manitoba
and the northwest will require .25,ooo
Imported harvesters to handle the crop
this year, - said w. j. Black, provincial
deputy minister Of agriculture today.
:, Official reports from all parts of
the province indicate that the crop will
be the heaviest yet harvested. Last
year Manitoba placed 12,5OO men from
the east in the fields, while Saskatche-
yan used 2,5oo, but FOR this year alone
Manitoba n alone will require close to
20, 600. It appears at present that har-
vesting will be general in this province
about Aug. 10, but should the rains con-
tinue it. will probably be four or five
days later = 49, 81 .o..r. !.
! There is a growing anxiety among
western farmers that harvesters will not
be available. 1t is reported that On
tario herself is short Of men and cannot
spare any for the west, and that as the
Ontario harvest will be late and the
Manitoba harvest early the Ontario har-
vest hands will stay at home.

rfCE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
uARNTNG

Vice President Fairbanks in his
opening address in Iowa pressed
home. the point that the practical
effect of democratic house would be
to array one branch OF the next con
eress against the president and
thereby effeotually check any con
structive legislation" II becomes
clearer every day as the campaign
approaches its close that the opposi-
ton efforts are mainly concentrated in
the congressional districts Nor are
competent observers insensible to the
probability that the democrats will
gain not few districts which they
lost in the food tide of Roosevelt's
popularity two years ago, when his
personality was more obviously in the
election to the general comprehension
than 1t can be in the present case, al
though in reality his leadership is now
involved hardly less than it was then.
Moreover, the republicans are con-
fronted. as a party rarely has been,
with the peril of over-confdence.
Vice President Fairbanks warning
that It is possible, though not prob
able. for the republican majority in
the house to be converted into ma
iority for the opposition. is therefore
timely and ought to impress every
voter. of whatever customary party as
sociation heretofore, who is in SYM
pathy with President Roosevelt and
wants his policy efficiently sustained
and developed throughout the last
two years of his term. Even a notable
opposition gain, although the republi-
can house majority we're not wholly
wiped out, might have a disturbing
effect, for it would stimulate partisan
obstruction among all elements hos
tile to the president, and would give
plausibility to argument that the peo-
pie were turning from their previous
attitudes on vital issues.
Not only are the important results
that have been secured under the
Roosevelt leadership to be safe
guarded, but he has made il plain
tAat his program is progressive and
that he will press forward along the
same line during the next congress. A
friendly and cooperative house will
he admitted by every intelligent voter
to be indispensable for either pur-
pose. In short, the public interest
that has lowered above all others
since Theodore Roosevelt came to the
presidency is now actually resubmitted
to the people in the several congress
sional districts, and it is imperative
that the people shall thoroughly APP
preciste this fact and act upon 1t in the
coming election.

SOME PLUMs LEFT.
Abundant Reward for Energy InteIIi-
gently Directed.
Cleveland Leader.


The man who is always looking back
over his shoulder would get much dis
tressing information If he were to read
the papers He would learn that the days
for energy and ability and loyalty to
make their mark haven't passed. that they
will never pass, for each generation offers
its own opportunities and hands out ITS
own rewards.
Just because Tom, Dick and Harry have
made big fortunes in the past; have risen
from nothing to places of trust and profit
and honor; have discovered this, inVenIsd
that or amslgamated the other. there Is
no reason for the old men to wall and
the young to grow respondent. All the
money hasn't been corralled; all the glory
hasn't been dispensed. There are still
laurel wreaths and golden ones.
Not a day passes but the papers OF
the land are eTuptiye with pictures of "A
man who has done something noteworthy
in one of the myriad activities of the
century. And when they tell the story of
his life it is usually the record of self
achievement. He hasn't been boosted or
hauled up. He has climbed. 1t is usually,
too, the story of humble beginnings, but
not unpropitious ones.
The illiterate, self-made man has passed
of the planet, broadly speaking. IL rs
the hour Of the student and the educated
man Of affairs. 1t is the boy who takes
one thing and masters it who succeeds.
And he succeeds quickly. He has his
chance and lives up to it or fails while
he is I'm his prime This is a hurried age
and cannot wait. The man who wishes
TO get on must have his powers in hand
for instant use and immediate triumph.
Never before were there so many calls
for big men, The progress of the world
has added many ciphers to the values and
it's activities. Where things were counted
in thousands. they are now reckoned in
millions. The men behind these monster
operations demand the highest quality OF
brains, the greatest resourcefulness. the
greatest expedition.

Fundamental principle of fairness in
common carrier service, the case
arising out &C the fragrant practice of
discrimination in furnishing ears to
coal shippers The court wipes out
the whole maze Of evasions and pre-
lenses IN tie form OF special contracts
which have been so corrupting and
fatal in the business world and goes
to the root of the evil by holding that
the general obligations of a railroad
company to furnish the necessary
cars to carry goods offered for trans,
portation grows out OF the public ma
ture of it's business and does not de-
pend on contract.
The essence of the common carriers
duty is in brief an implied contract
to serve all alike, whether as regards
charges or as regards every facility of
transportation. In point of fact the
most fatal determinations have been
effected by railroad companies by spe-
cific contracts in violation of this in
herent and paramount contract with
the public assumed by railroads and
imputed by the very act of becoming
common carriers.

WRAr oMAHA WEEDS RApLr.

Omaha is improving materially in
many directions, but 1t is still sadly
deficient in the matter of first-class
hotel accommodation for visitors and
the travelling public. Omaha's hotel
facilities have not improved to an ex-
tent worth mentioning since the Trans
mississippi exposition, although the
demands upon our hotels have been
steadily and rapidly increasing.
Without disparaging the hotels that
their way, it is not to be gainsaid
that hundreds of thousands of people
pass through Omaha without stopping
or cut their stay here short every
year because they cannot get modern
hotel accommodations equal to those
afforded by other cities no larger than
Omaha, Notwithstanding their willing
ness to pay for them.
The damage Omaha is constantly
suffering by reason of its hotel def
clencies is such as to make the matter
Of promoting a first-class hotel project
one of public concern that should have
the serious attention of our CONNER
cial club, Real Estate exchange, Ak
Sar-Ben governors and other business
organizations. 1t would be worth hum
dreds of thousands of dollars to the
business interests of Omaha to have
this long felt want satisfied without
further delay.
At the best it would take year and
half or two years to finance and
erect such a freproof hotel as alone
would meet requirements. Our enter
prising public-spirited citizens should
take this problem up at once and solve
it for the good name of our city.

nnIrRLING TIE nANGER.

Dealers in firearms report that the
demand for revolvers to be carried on
the person has so increased in Omaha
that their stocks have been exhausted.
This condition is deplorable if true,
At the very outset it is a reflection on
Omaha as a law-abiding community.
The fact that an atrocious murder has
been committed and a number of rob-
berries reported is not to be pleaded as
justifying a wholesale resort to the
practice of carrying arms.
A little reflection will convince any
one how indefensible this is in a civil
lied community. The greatest danger
lies in the unfamiliarity of the average
man or woman with firearms and their
uses. A person who is not accustomed
to using a pistol will hardly be able to
make proper use of it as a weapon in
a moment of emergency. Under the
such a person becomes really more
dangerous than the admitted criminal.
The hysterical fear that leads a citizen
to arm himself will people the streets
with imaginary footpads and give rise
to a double danger of indiscriminate
shooting.
So far Omaha has escaped tragedy
that is likely to result from the bad
habit of carrying pistols on the per-
son, but this does not guaranty i'm
zens to pursue is to adopt ordinary
precautions and lend to the efforts of
the properly constituted authorities
such assistance as they may to pre-
serve order. Omaha's police force
may be inadequate in numbers, but
armed citizens are not likely to add
TO the safety of life and property.
