where a sudden great failing on in
consumption was caused by last win

both of the wholesomeness and genu-

But the very strictness OF the ma

need of equal strictness of state law

WHERE REFORM is NEEDED.
Manipulation of Freight Rate
Schedule by Railroad Managers.

Wall Street Journal.
Mr.. Stickney declares that there is neither
order. method, nor system in the making
OF schedules; that ''it is impossible to con-
vey any adequate understanding of the
utterly hopeless condition, of the present
schedules" that the publication of more
than 5000 separate schedules affords OPP
portunity for the same dexterous manipula-
ton Of schedules which is practiced by the
three card monte gang with cards." that
mo railway company ever attempted to
comply with the law" that hundreds of
'swindling schedules" have been and are
being iled, rebates in the form Of over
charge being thereby paid. and only the
Interstate Commerce Commission can stop
them from being flied; and finally, that
most of the 100000 schedules that have
been filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission are Illegal"
This is the testimony of a railway presi-
dent. and that is what makes 1t so valuable
as evidence in the hands of critics OF rail-
way management. No wonder the western
railway managers rub their eyes and ask
what is the matter with Mr.. Stickney?
They appear to thing that such language
from Mr.. Suckney, considering what he
has done with the Chicago Great Western
is, to say the least, peculiar. In the langu-
age of one of them Mr.. Stickney blended
few streaks OF rust and built up a great
system that became the railroad terror
of the west" Yet now he appears in the
role of a great railway moralist exposing
the fraud and illegalIty and the irnmor-
ality OF the railway rate schedule, and
calling upon the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for reform.
But the force Of Mr. stickneys criticism
cannot be evaded by attacking Mr.. Stick
ney. Whatever Mr.. Stickney has done or
is doing with the Great Western, II is i'm
possible TO escape from the conviction that
his statement in regard to the rate
schedules is a true indictment OF railroad
methods. Now, II It we're possible to re-
form such a condition as this in any other
way, these facts might furnish a convinc-
ing argument In favor OF government own
ership. but certainly this is a condition
which can be remedied, just as other prob
lens OF transportation have been remedied,
by reform which represents the Joint effort
Of individual enterprise and government
regulation. The remedy for such conditions
OF rate schedules as Mr.. stiekney describes
is publicity. There must be some way
by which simple. easily understood, COM
prehensive rate schedules can be arranged.
can be published. and can be put in force.
This IL one of those matters to which the
Interstate Commerce Commission must put
it's immediate effort. Mr. stickney deserves
the thanks Of the entire public for his
forcible disclosure OF the deplorable con-
ditiOns that have existed in this depart
ment OF railroad business They are con-
ditions which have grown out OF the greater
evil OF rate discrimination. and indeed they
are part OF that system Of wrongs which
the rate bill was passed to reform.

orRAN INFLAMMATION.

American Intervention in Cuba will
be accepted as necessary by our own
people, by the world and even by the
best part OF the Cubans themselves.
IL has been urged from enlightened
and deeply interested quarters in Eu-
rope, and the fact that our govern
ment exhausted every possible alter
native for restoring order and protec-
ton TO life and property before as
Stunning control is conducive proof
that It acted with no Interior aim OF
annexation, but solely under force Of
circumstances.
The effort to bring the contending
factions In Cuba to a basis OF peace
able and efficient government having
failed, although made with all the
ability and tact of Secretary Taft. the
immensely dificult task nov remains
for our government by direct control
to set up stable rule in the island. 1t
practically substitutes compulsion for
persuasion, and yet compulsion which
shall not be offensive to native sensi-
bility II a way can be found to recon
Gle It with real self government. The
problem involves dealing on the one
hand with a numerous lawless and
habitually revolutionary element
which the insurgent leaders may not
be able to control, and on the other
hand with the hot-headed extreme of
the Palma party now holding the
Offices. IL either or both these eie-
ments should begin roaming about for
plumber and guerilla exploits, the sit
uation, grave enough at best, would
become Infinitely complicated. In
any event, how to construct in such
conditions and out OF such materials
native regime to which can be en-
trusted the vast interests that depend
upon Arm and just authority, SO that
we may safely retire from control of
the island, is the problem yet to be
solved or to be proved unsolvable.
The first great step towards solution
has been taken by indisputably dem
onstrating the sincerity of our ma
tional motive. At the same time our
own people have implicit confidence
that no worthy means will be neg
lected to secure the best results in
the shortest time, whatever the final
outcome may be.

PRUDENT TREASURY MANAGEMENT.
II is noteworthy that the speakers
before various state bankers asso-
Citations that have been in session
within a week, while many of them
are opposed to the subtreasury sys-
TEN, have not criticised Secretary
Shaw's use of the surplus treasury
funds whereby SOS, 900 of import
gold and government deposits have
within two weeks been added to the
circulation. On the contrary there is
general approval of his course, which
has enabled the banks largely to ex-
pand loans, whereas otherwise specu-
lative absorption of funds would have
compelled restriction of loans to the
farmer, the manufacturer and the
merchant. In short, values of the
greatest crops ever, produced and of
the whole mass of Industrial commodi-
ties for which they are exchanged
were involved in the money strain,
which has to large extent been re-
lieved by the secretary's disposition
of the cash impounded in the sub
treasury.
1t is true that the subtreasury does
thus frequently abstract a large sum
from active circulation just at a
time when II is most needed therein,
but it is also true that any alterna-
tive scheme carries difficulties and
evils from which the subtreasury sys-
tenn is free. At any rate the sub
treasury system is the system in force,
and that it has been administered pru-
IDENTIFY and to the satisfaction of the
business community at this dificult
juncture is the material point.

srop THE JURY FIX ING.

The action. of the Omaha Bar asso-
citation in putting up reward Of $500
for evidence leading to conviction for
jury bribing should receive the APP
prevail and cooperation of our whole
law-abiding citizenship. 1t is indeed
a good sign that the lawyers should
finally have reached the point OF initi-
ating a movement to stop jury fixing,
although 1t is not surprising that OPP
position should have been encountered
within the ranks of the legal profess
sion.
AS The Bee has pointed out at all
times, the chances are ten to one in
every case of jury bribing that IL II
could be traced to its source would be
found to be connived at, If not insti-
gated, by the attorneys interested in
hanging the jury or forcing an agree
ment. IL the miscarriage of Justice
brought about by corruption in the
jury room were in each instance
brought right home to the lawyer at
the bottom of it and quickly followed
up with disbarment proceedings, the
jury fixing business would quickly suf-
fer severe depression.
That any one should seek to palliate
the bribery of jurors with a counter
claim against shyster lawyers who
work up damage cases upon corpora
tons is simply amazing. Much as
these odious practices are to be de-
spised they in ne way go to the foun-
tain head as does the bribery OF
jurors. If jury fixing we're to be
tolerated, there would be no justice in
the land, but the litigant with the
most money to offer would in every
instance win out over the poor man
asking redress of grievances or REIN
bursement for injuries. The courts
might as we'll be abolished and judi
cial decisions put up at auction be-
cause the verdict would depend not
on the justice of the cause, but upon
the smoothness of the claim agent
and the amount Of money at his dis
posal,
A few good object lessons in the
way of convictions for jury bribing
along with stiff penitentiary sentences
would be most salutary and II the re-
ward now offered brings this about,
It will have achieved worthy object.

The BuraIo Episode.
New York Sun.

The democracy has cut its cables and
gone adrift. Its course is out to sea.
In September, five years ago. the presl-
dent of the United States was assass-
mated at Buffalo. At Buffalo William R.
Hearst was nominated by the democracy
as it's candidate for the governorship of
the state of New York.
Let us accept the inevitable with grace
and resignation, and let us hope that the
party Of assassination and the torch has
done to mankind the only service of which
it was capable and has extinguished itself
forever.
In the primitive republic of Cuba such
an episode would be requited with the
machete; here it will be expiated with the
ballot.

MEAT INSPECTION Law.

The national meat inspection law is
almost revolutionary, whether as re-
CARDS trade methods under it's far
reaching provisions or as regards the
general extension which 1t exemplifies
of governmental power under the ma
tional constitution. In the latter as
pect national meat inspection, the
same as the pure food law, is a sweep
ing employment of authority under
the constitutional grant of power to
regulate commerce between the states
and with foreign countries hardly
dreamed of a generation ago, but
which in changed industrial condi-
tons and correspondingly changed
popular conceptions is now universally
viewed as valid and demanded as nee
essary.
The new law not merely prescribes
conditions covering the whole process
of inspecting. naming. branding and
labelling packed and canned meat
products. but also establishes stand
ards for determining the health of live
animals and the wholesomeness of
meats, including exclusive control
over sanitation and cleanliness in
slaughter and preparation of meat and
all derivative foods. The requirements
were designed to be such as unfail-
ingly to exclude from transportation
from one state to another or to any
foreign country all meat or meat prod
ucts which are unclean and unhealthy
or which by false label or compo-
sition might deceive consumers, aim
ing thus TO protect the public also
against the prevailing trade custom of
fraud in weight. quality and origin of
the goods. And between enactment OF
the law early last summer and it's
going into effect October / the execu-
tive departments, which are clothed
with vast discretionary powers as to
regulations, have made 1t absolutely
certain that the law In all its rigor
is to be strictly enforced requiring
such extensive and thorough going
changes that a large number of
slaughtering and packing establish
ments have not been disposed OF able
to make them In time.

Another thing that should be elimi-
mated from the primary election law
when it comes to be revised is the
section that offers special inducements
to recounts by requiring the canvass
ing board to count the ballots again
whenever a defeated candidate signi-
fes his mere belief that errors have
been committed. Every candidate
should have ample redress against
being fraudulently counted out, but
the law should place no premium on
fishing expeditions based on nothing
