Is that Of stacking grain. There are

easy. Threshing from the shock does

MR.. sTIcKNETs PROTEST.

It is not hard to appreciate the feel
ing that prompted President Stickney
of the Great Western road to protest
against the imprisonment amendment
on the score that It will be practically
possible to infiict it only on the hum
bier railway agents and officers and
not on the high officials who are really
responsible for rebates and equiva-
lent law violations. And there is dan
ger in this case that the most grievous
penalties may not always reach the
most guilty. It is, however. a danger
that inheres in the administration of
all criminal penalties. influential and
wealthy conspirators always seek or
contrive to act by indirection and to
leave their agents to bear the conse-
quences. Yet penalties cannot for this
reason be limited to the minimum
that would At the least guilty.
President Stickney, too, overlooks
the fact that the courts would still
have discretion in this as in other Of
fenses to grade sentences according to
the conditions of each case. 1t would
rest with the courts to infict fine or
Imprisonment or both according as
there might or might not be extenuat-
ing circumstances, and this power
would certainly be employed and in
practice might largely remove the OBJ
lection Mr.. Stickney makes.
In addition to the tide of public opin-
ion, which is running high and will
not ebb, demanding enforcement of
the penal sanctions of the law in these
Eases, the resources for obtaining evil
dence for prosecution have been lately
vastly increased by such decisions as
that of the supreme court in the
Tobacco trust case and in many other
ways. The lines are being drawn far
more tightly even around the czars
and the grand dukes" of great cor
porations and combines. as Mr.. Stick
ney calls them. and 1t by no means
follows that they cannot now and
henceforth be reached by the sword Of
Justice because they were able to
evade 1t fifteen or twenty years ago
under the original interstate commerce
act

CARL SCHURZ.

Carl Schurz would have been a great
man in any country and in any age.
The elements of greatness showed
themselves in him when but youth,
and in all his varied life he always
stood out as a man of strong mind and
firm character. Carl Schurz will al
ways be one of the positive figures in
American history and one Of the most
notable contributions of our foreign
born citizens to the leadership of the
nation. E.H
The fact that Mr. Schurz first lived
in and became identified with the west
unquestionably had much to do with
giving him the vigorous personality
which he carried with him when he
relocated in the east at the zenith OF
his career. Passing by his notable
political activity and his participation
In public life, it may be truthfully
said that as a journalist and essayist
he ranked with the foremost. His lat
est contribution to literature, which Is
now being printed in one OF the maga-
zines, namely, his autobiography, is
piece of clear cut and impressive writ
ing. carrying a story fascinating in the
extreme.
In his later years, although prac-
tically in retirement, Mr.. Schurz kept
in constant touch with the world move
ments about him and always interested
e h. nantral
west in which he had such a promi-
ncnt part Immediately after the Civil
war period. 1t is doubtful whether
ever again a man of the type OF Mr..
Scburz win come to the front In this
country as he did because conditions
will never again be presented such as
he found them when he came to this
country as a refugee from the oppres-
sions of the old world

POLICYHOLDERS VS.. STOCKHOLDERS.
A strong and almost universal pro-
test arises from business men and
property owners against the prospect
of having the San Francisco insurance
loss now abruptly charged back upon
them by the companies in the form of
rates advanced all along the line. OF
course everyone understands that in
surance is simply a means of distTib-
uting loss, but strong showings are
being made by competent hands TO the
effect that more than enough has been
collected from property owners on
past high ruling rates, II properly ad-
ministered, to save them now from in
creased exactions, notwithstanding the
extraordinary losses at Baltimore and
San Francisco.
Emergency or confasration loss is
one Of the recognized elements of risk
to which rates have been adjusted.
During the decades since the Chicago
and Boston confagrations the insur-
ance rates that have been levied have
produced revenue ample to meet every
dollar of the emergency losses at San
Francisco and Baltimore without call
ing on policyholders.
The trouble in the cases of too many
companies is that the excess of revenue
over what was necessary to pay ex-
penses and ordinary losses has not
been accumulated in fund for con-
hagration emergency, but has been too
much considered and treated as profits
and distributed to stockholders in one
| form or another II is a we'll known
fact that many companies have de-
clared stated dividends of from 10 to
| 40 per cent, and some have made large
stock dividend distributions, while
/ others have used both methods.
ON this state Of facts property own
ers properly feel that stockholders
having used too much of excess col
lections as profits, ought 10 stand the
losses, and there is no reason in jus
tice why such recourse should not be
had. Either rates should not have
been fixed all these years on the basis
of emergency risk or else the com
panies should shoulder the loss now
that emergency has come.

MAUD OF THE MUCK RAKE.

The Judge appeared upon the scene,
Bringing an odor of gasoline.
He stopped to buzz the girl awhile;
She was plump, and he rather liked her
style.
She knew that he possessed a wad.
He thought: How sweet a name is Maud -
He spoke Of railroad stocks he had,
The maiden listened and was glad.

He said, "I'll be millionaire.

That I regard them as o. X.

He RIaEed the Wnr.

Burchard Times (rep).
Edward Rosewater is now actively in the
race for the United States senatorship "a
succeed Senator Millard. This decision on
the part Of Mr.. Rosewater's friends has had
the effect OF temporarily complicating mat
ters, for many of the newspapers through
out the state, which have been saying COM
plimentary things about Attorney General
Brown, feel that they cannot consistently
desert his cause now and give support to
the new candidate.
And yet. the Times believes that Ed
ward Rosewater is entitled, not only to the
enthusiastic support of the republican press
Of the state, but also to the fraternal
'godspeed" Of those of opposite political
faith.
Those Of us who have spent years in the
editorial harness and have directed the
course Of newspapers in city and country
know that sound judgment without back
bone" will not keep a newspaper out of the
journalistic boneyard for any great length
Of time, even though backed by powerful
influences.
The newspaper which bears the stamp of
public approval and stands the test Of time
is the one that stands for the right at all
times, even though by loyalty to that cause
away from him and sacrifices his personal
interests
The editor who would be successful must
be consistent, and IL he is not willing to
sink his individuality in the success of his
newspaper he has mistaken his calling and
will never score a success in the field of
journalism.
We may have differed with Edward Rose
W In tVNnc OF Aa.
criticised him, but we now that he has
made the name of The Omaha Bee known
in every town and hamlet in the United
States, and we know that he has "blazed
the way" for nearly every reform that is
now being demanded by the people of this
state. With a record of twenty-five years
of fighting for the peoples interest, and
the reputation of a great newspaper in his
keeping, the people of Nebraska could make
no mistake in sending Mr.. Rosewater to
the United States senate.

Nebraska owes HIm Much.

NdleHtlne FepuDnCdu Iep.).
The Republican has stated before that
personally there is no other man whom It
would rather see elected United States
senator from Nebraska than E. Rosewater.
The main reasons for this opinion are
plainly set forth by Victor Rosewater for
his father. Years ago he would have been
elected United States senator had he not
made political and corporate enemies by
a continued and persistent effort upon cor
ruption and domination of corporation
rule. In the last thirty years ne has
been a consistent champion OF the people
In fighting their battle and many times ex-
pending much money as we'll as time and
energy without even taking a thought of
reimbursement. The great state of Ne
braska owes much to the influence exerted
by z. Rosewater and now will have an
other opportunity to do him honor in
recognition OF his efforts to advance the
welfare OF the whole state.

Lively Race in Prospect.
Sterling Sun (repl

There's going TO be something doing in
Omaha republican circles this summer. 1t
promises to be warmer than the weather.
Editor Rosewater has officially announced
in The Omaha Bee his candidacy for the
United States senate. Charley Greene, one
OF the leading attorneys for the Burlington
railway wants the place. John L. Web
ster, who has wanted the senatorial ermine
cast upon him for fifteen years, wants Il
still; and besides these three. Senator Mil
lard wants TO 90 back. II will be the live
Hest party race that Omaha has ex-
perienced I'm several years, for they are all
men with influential friends. After it is
all over, some other fellow will probably
receive the nomination al the state conven-
tion. Certainly so II Douglas county goes

Democratic Presidential Timber.
New York Tribune

Ex-President Cleveland's assurance to a
Philadelphia inquirer that he will mot un-
der any circumstances" permit his name
to be used as a candidate for president
comes from a man who is known to mean
what he says and may be considered final.
Mr.. Cleveland will make no attempt to
break the third term precedent; but as to
third term candidates there is no law, writ
ten or unwritten. and consequently Mr..
Bryan is perfectly justified in maintaining
a receptive attitude.

FRANKLIN Free Press (Tep.)
All the newspapers of the state were not
captured by the brass band tactics of the
press bureau which was booming Attorney
General Norris Brown for United States
senator, and many of the independent
thinkers among the balance of the repub-
lican editors are commenting favorably
upon the candidacy of Editor Rosewater OF
The Omaha Bee, who is now in ancient
Rome attending the international postal
congress. A few years ago Rosewater was
put down as a traitor to his party be-
cause he would not support the entire
republican ticket but he has outlived that
and today is one of the brainiest most
thoroughly independent and experienced of
all the candidates so far mentioned and
his views on the leading issues of the day
are well known and approved by the peo-
pie.

the same consideration and the same

Fitting Tribute to Party Service.

The Frontier has repeatedly stated its
belief that Editor Rosewater was the best
equipped all around man in the state To
send to the senate ard the logical candi-
date OF the republican party. The position
the party takes. it's endorsement OF the
national administration and demand for
national control and Limitation Of corpora
tions, it cannot consistently nominate any
other than a candidate of the Rosewater
stripe. And inasmuch as he is admittedly
the ablest man in the bunch Of aspirants
1t would be fitting tribute for long years
of service to the party and state to honor
Mr.. Rosewater with a seat in the senate.
