other whose loss may have been due
exclusively or for some part to FIRE.
The objection, however, loses much
Of it's force when made by third parties.
If the policy holders at San Francisco
are content with such a settlement as
they are said to be, and II the total
payment is no more than the legal
liability of the insurance companies,
It is not easy to see just why outsiders
should trouble themselves. One great
advantage OF such a settlement, al
though II be on an arbitrary basis, Is
that II would avoid the long delays
and disputes which a detailed adjust
ment Of each loss would necessarily in
volve. In the plight of San Francisco
promptitude of settlement is even more
important than the amount.
The real origin of the objection
doubtless is apprehension lest the in
surance companies take advantage of
the San Francisco disaster to advance
unduly general rates. That is really
separate matter which should be
judged according to its own merits.

FhbB ALDDhDL We NfANAAhb VII.
In his message transmitting to con
gress COMMISSIONS Garnold's oil in
vestigation report President Roosevelt
gives no more than due recognition OF
the importance Of the subject when he
urges exemption Of denaturized al
cohol from taxation as one effective
means OF relief from the demonstrated
extortions OF the Standard oil com
pany. The report shows how that
monopoly In effect exacts an excessive
tax upon every consumer Of petroleum
and every citizen is directly or indi-
rectly a consumer. But in the vege-
table products Of the country, more
particularly OF the great grain and
root-growing regions, there is an al
most illimitable resource for. pro-
ducing alcohol which would more
cheaply serve many Of the principal
popular uses Of petroleum, and which
II would be impossible to monopolize.
The only thing which stands In the
way is the federal tax OF S2.0S per
gallon. Exemption from tax is pal
pable, easy and effective remedy.
But identically the same element
in the senate which has been the back
bone Of the opposition to the rate bill,
which strikes at transportation abuses
by which Standard oil has been built
up and Is maintained, is apparently
resolved TO prevent popular relief
through untaxed denaturized alcohol.
The free alcohol bill, which after ex-
haustive inquiry and discussion passed
the house by practically unanimous
vote, has been held up for weeks in
the senate finance committee, OF which
Senator Aldrich is chairman and DOM
mating spirit, and he has already an
nounced a program OF hearings which,
II carried out, will make 1t impossible
10 get the bill before the senate for
action.
The declaration OF H. II. Rogers that
the Standard oil company has no
special interest one way or the other
IN the free alcohol bill does not COM
port with the hostile attitude already
disclosed BY the powerful element in
the senate whose leader Senator Al
drich is recognized to be. But for its
hostility the free alcohol measure
could easily pass the senate within a
fortnight and the people thus be as
sured OF a great and immediate relief.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.

II lie not surprising that local demo-
Gratis, and particularly the local demo-
cratic organ, should exert themselves
in every possible way to prevent the
fruition of any movement for uniica-
ton among Omaha and Douglas
county republicans. Democratic sue
cess has been achieved here only
through republican division, and the
democrats, in the future as in the past,
may be confidently depended upon to
promote republican discord and 20
take advantage for themselves of
every opportunity to slip into office
between a disorganized opposition.
The late campaign, however, should
teach that faction Of local republicans
who have enjoyed the aid and comfort
of the democratic organ whenever at
outs and fighting for the overthrow of
those who control the party machinery
that they have nothing whatever to
expect from that source whenever they
assume the leadership and make up
the ticket that stands in the way of
democratic designs. In the recent
campaign the World-Herald, which
three years ago overreached itself to
encourage the boilers, who later or
ganized themselves under the Fonts-
nellie name, went so far in its hostility
to its former friend and ally as to call
forth from Mr.. Benson a personal at
tack upon its publisher as the TWEEN
tieth century successor of Ananias OF
old.
The World-Herald already indicates
that the republican Generalization IL
to be used by the democrats to re.
capture the county attorneyship and
the congressional seat from this dis
trict, and declares that the democrats
feel hopeful, II not confident, of the
situation. The Bee submits these
suggestions to thoughtful republican!
in connection with its protest agains
proscriptive factional clubs that bodt
no good to anyone except the politica
enemy.

ovERwoRK AND ACCIDENTS.
Railroad Wrecks and Killing Traced
to Long Hours of wOrkmen.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
One of the most important tables ever
compiled by the Interstate Commerce com
mission has been supplied by Secretary
Moseley to Senator Tillman, who procured
it's printing as a public document. 1t is a
list of collisions and derailments where the
employees had been on duty an excessive
number Of hours and list Of personal in
Juries to employees due to having been at
work excessively long. These are railroad
reports and not the results Of Investigations
by the commission, and they do not include
personal injuries that had no obvious con-
nection with the condition of the employe.
The facts disclosed by this tabulstion are
startling.
Eight railroad men were killed and thtr-
teen injured as the result of accidents
caused by overwork. In one case a man
who had been on duty 80 hours was sent
out tagging and went to sleep on the track.
In nine other cases in this list of personal
injuries men had been at work contnu-
ously for 20 hours or more. In collisions
and derailments due 10 lack OF sleep or ex-
ceptional fatigue IS persons were killed and
III injured. In one case the man had been
at work IS hours. In nine cases men had
been at work "A hours or more-one was
an hours at work and another sand in
several other instances men had been at
work more than 20 hours This list of
cases cover nearly hve years. but even
spread over so much time there are far
more cases OF the overworking Of the men
than there should be.

FONTANELLIssf.

Fender Republican: The Omaha election
is just another illustration Of the fact that
party ties do not bind men as they once
did.
Papilion Times: The real reason that
Benson did not win out in his race for the
mayoralty of Omaha lie because he did not
receive votes enough.
Fremont Tribune: The Omaha slump to
Dahlman, peradventure was crack at
machine made candidates behind the closed
flaps OF the Fontanelle wigwam.
Sidney Republican: The result Of the
Omaha election shows very conclusively
and most emphatically that the people have
no use for the machine in politics.
/ North Loup Loyalist: Omaha went demo-
cratic in the recent city elestion--the FIRST
time in sixteen years. 1t wal not take the
same number of years to get over It,
Springfield Monitor: The Tong felt want
that the Fontanelle club Of Omaha was
called on to fulfill has been accomplished
and that organization can now conscien-
tiously go out of business.
Albion News The result can no doubt
be accounted for by the existence of a
republican Tammany organization in the
city of Omaha which assumes to run the
party Machine methods are everywhere
being repudiated by the people.
Western Laborer: The thing for the
Fontanelles to do would be to hold a good,
big farewell meeting and resolve TO go out
OF business forever. The election II 1t
means anything. means that "Wahnetaism'
don't go in the municipal affairs OF Omaha.
Thank God for that!
Sutton News: Bolter Benson, the chosen
candidate Of the Fontanele warriors for
mayor Of Omaha, was buried under m
avalanche Of votes by his democratic OPP
ponent, Jim Dahlman. And that's the
bunch OF people that are trying to run the
| republican party in Nebraska.
! Tekamah Journal: We cannot see that
state politics had anything TO do with the
results in the Omaha municipal election.
The republicans didn't all vote for their
candidate, not because they were not re-
publicans, but because they did not pro-
pose to have a city political club dictate
the city nominations. What Omaha re-
publicans need to do is to get together.
Springfield Monitor: The prospect Of the
Fontanelle machine gang gaining control
| OF the city government was not pleasing
to the other seekers after plums, and the
open devotion of the majority Of the old
| council to corporation interests was a great
! factor in causing their defeat at the hands
| OF the common voter 1t was body blow
to machine ard corporation control. and It
was indeed time for Omahas awakening.

EDWARD RoSEWATER FOR SENATOR.
Many people in all parts of Ne
braska have for some time been urg-
ing that Edward Rosewater become
their candidate for United States SEN
ator. Responding to these requests,
l hereby announce for my father in
his absence at Rome as the Official
representative of the United States at
the Universal Postal congress that a
delegation will be offered for the en-
dorsement of the republicans of Doug
las county and | invite the co-opera-
ton Of Roosevelt republicans through
out the state for his nomination in
state convention.
The position of Edward Rosewater
on public questions is too well known
to require recital. For more than a
third of a century he has been working
as a consistent republican in season
and out Of season for the very meas
ures that constitute the principal fea-
lures of the legislative program now
advocated by President Roosevelt. His
whole political career has been an un-
remitting battle for the common peo-
pie as against the domination of cor
porate interests and the encroachment
Of oversreedy capital.
All the property interests OF Mr..
Rosewater are in Nebraska, to whose
upbuilding he has devoted his life
energy, and as senator he would have
no interests elsewhere to divert or
divide his attention. His intimate ia
miliarity with the resources and needs
OF Nebraska and his wide personal ac-
quaintance with influential public men
should make him most useful in the
service of his fellow citizens as their
representative in Washington. Were
1t not for the conviction that he could
in that capacity accomplish substan-
tial good for the development and
prosperity Of Nebraska and the west,
he would not consent to submit his
name for consideration.
One thing more should be distinctly
understood In advance. Mr.. Rosewater
will not enter into a contest of dollars
to secure the nomination for United
| States senator; he could not II he
would and would not If he could. He
Will look to the whole people of Ne
braska, to the wage workers, the
farmers and producers whom he has
championed for so many years, as we'll
as to the substantial business interests
to rally to his support But neither
Will he be a mere passive candidate
A vigorous effort will be made in his
behalf, II necessary. both in his home
county and in other counties.
All Nebraskans who want their state
represented in the United States sen.
ate by a man of mental vigor and
positive opinions on every important
question of the hour, who at the same
time is absolutely free from corpora.
ton strings, are cordially invited tc
join in this movement. I also invite
all in accord with Mr.. Rosewater'
candidacy to communicate with me.

USEFUL POSTAL NOTES.
Transmission of Small Sums of Money
At Minimum Cost.
Chicago Record Herald.


Chicago Record Herald.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has had a
commission al work for three months de-
vising a system Of cheap postal notes for
the transmission Of small sums at a mini
mum cost, He has just submitted TO con-
gress a bill drafted on the basis OF the
commissions recommendations.
II is proposed to sell postal notes in de-
nominations of 10, 90 IS, so, 40, 90, 60, 90
To- 80 and 90 cents. 81. $50. g. and $3.50
The fee for notes under 40 cents will be
l cent; Tor notes over 30 cents the fee will
be cents. In addition special" notes In
denominations from 1 TO cents will be
sold without any charge above their face
value. Not only the money order onices,
but many OF the smaller Offices will sell
these notes.
The purpose OF the legislation is not only
10 provide q substitute for coins in small
mail remittances, but also to put an end
TO the use OF postage stamps In that way.
Coins are tempting bait for letter thieves,
and postage stamp remittances, besides
theif Inconvenience. are perpetually dis
turbins the normal postage receipts. both
OF the small ofices which sell them for
this use and OF the large city omces, which
have their normal sales cut down in CORE
spending amounts. Chicagos pOstohlce re-
ceipts, for example, would be several mil
lion dollars a year larger were the torrents
OF postage stamps sent here, especially In
letters TO the mail-order houses. brought
TO a stop.
An appropriation OF $4,000 is asked to
/ carry the act into effect during the next
/ fiscal year. and the innovation would be
cheap az the price The postmaster general
estimates. however. that when the system
Is once started il can be carried on without
/ any impairment OF postofice revenues
! That makes Il all the more desirable.

The DeIuge of words,


Congress seems disinclined to accord
literal acceptance TO the axiom that ac-
tious speak louder than words Ac-
cording to the onicial stenOEraphers Of
the house of representatives over 5000
900 words have already been recorded
during the present session and al least
1000. 900 more are anticipated before ad-
journment. 1t is confidently predicted
that the senate will equal this record
and that committee hearings in both
branches will swell the grand total from
all sources to 10000 600 words. There
has always been on the part OF congress
a tendency toward loqdacity. This habit
Is at least not on the decline. Many Of
the questions calling forth this flood OF
oratory are admittedly OF vast importance.
II is well that they should be widely dis
cussed and that every point be ilum-
mated But not a little OF this verbosity
was uncalled for and there is absolutely
no ground for argument regarding the
desirability OF more action.

The union anthracite miners have
been wise IN deciding. upon the advice
Of President Mitchell, not to resort to
general strike, and their action will
be heartily approved by the public.
II Is we'll, too, since there is to be no
strike. that the grounds Of the deci-
sion be frankly stated, as President
Mitchell on behalf of his followers
does state and publish them. The con-
vontion explicitly abandons the de-

April 1, the date on which the period
covered by the award of the Roose-

tration.

Element and prevention of labor dis
putes and emphasizes the timeliness
and wisdom OF President Roosevelt's
Intervention for an impartial reference
OF the critical controversy three years
ago. It's result was TO settle not only
that dangerous disturbance, but also
the disputes and conflicts OF interest
which have been so threatening the
past year TO the industrial peace and
welfare Of the whole country. Mani
testify. too, the indirect but vastly Inn
portant effect has been to strengthen
the conservative and thoughtful ele-
ments In the miners union, tending
to render its collective judgment
more harmonious with general public
sentiment and interest, which, after
all, us the vital thing for organized
labor as we'll as great proprietary and
corporation interests.
The adjudication of the Roosevelt
commission was at the same time SO
thorough and so obviously and emf.
nently fair as to impress both the pub.

with the conviction that It's award
was not TO be disturbed save In the
gravest and clearest necessity Of
changed conditions, which has mo-
arisen. President Mitchell himself ad
mitted in his final statement to thu
convention that the Judgment OF 1
multitude of miners was averse to
strike, and the Joy with which tn,
decision not to strike has been received
in the anthracite region more thar
bears him out.
Nothing remains but the detail o
agreement between miners and ope
