Is TIE SUGAR TRUST BACK OF TT,

Is TIE SUGAR TRUST BACK OF TT
The revolutionary insurrection In
Cuba naturally leads people to look
behind the immediate pretext to find
the underlying causes Of 1t and the
inevitable suspicion has been aroused
that the Sugar trust has had something
to do with the trouble-breeding agita-
ton. Whether or not the revolution
lists look forward to annexation with
the United States, the inevitable drift
will surely be In that direction should
the Cuban government prove too weak
to maintain the nation as an tndepen-
dent republic. From such an outcome
the Sugar trust, 1t is pointed out,
would have everything 10 gain and lit
tie to lose. Annexation to the United
States would carry with 1t an abolition
of the tariff between the two countries
and the remission of the duties on i'm
portations of raw sugar from Cuba
would mean millions upon millions of
dollars in the pockets of the Sugar
trust magnates.
Some eastern observers go 30 far as
to insinuate that the Sugar trust has
had paid agents throughout Cuba
hired for the special purpose Of stir
ring up discomfort and promoting the
revolutionary party by liberal contri-
buttons of money. but there is no d.
rect proof that it has gone as far as
this. There is evidence, however, to
the effect that the Sugar trust people
have bought up practically all the best
sugar producing lands in Cuba and
have established themselves through
local connections pretty thoroughly al
,, over the island. And when the effort
comes to be made to secure, annexa'
ton, the representatives of the Sugar
trust may be counted upon to form
the nucleus OF the annexation group
1t is manifestly no part of the duty
OF our government to promote this
movement at this time. The United
States gave notice to the world wheT
Il took up the cause Of Cuba agains
Spanish tyranny that It had no selfsf
designs upon the Cuban island or III
people, and 1t must In good faith se'
that Cuba has every opportunity Il
prove itself capable of self-govern

The republican state ticket placed
sents the principles that the Te,e-
graph has been fighting for for
the past ten or more years In the ticket
placed In the field by the republicans OF
Nebraska. every citizen can take more
than a passing interest and feel that in
supporting each Individual member there
on he Is representing a principle of the
republican party and not some great cor
poration OF aggregation of corporations
doing business in this state. Placing this
ticket In the field means for the republi-
cans and all who love clean ticket
and clean men for office a signal victor y
for Roosevelt republicanism, and re-
buke to railroad republioanism as has in
the past been dealt out 20 the citizens Of
this state through the pass bureau OF
their several organizations. The placing
of this ticket in the ield means to Ne
braska republicans a majority of $1,000
or more at tho polls this fall. An era In
the history Of this state. when the cor
porations will pay their taxes like other
people, the enactment Of primary cleo
ton law and the amendment to the con-
stitution creating an elective railroad
commission, and that of eliminating the
railroad pass from Nebraska politics. We
trust that the time has arrived when the
rotten gang which has been doing business
In Saline for the last fifteen years will
hang up their fiddle and go out OF business
forever. To this end every newspaper and
every good citizen is personally interested
and will doubtless lend more than help
ing hand. These things are not confined
to party lines alone. but there is an oppor-
tunity offered to every good citizen, re-
CARELESS OF former political Affiliations, to
take hold and aid in steering the good ship
Nebraska clear OF the breakers which in
the past have endangered It and TO aid In
cleaning on few of the barnacles which
have fixed themselves to its hulk.
While he has failed In securing nomi-
nation, there is no man who will take hold
with greater vim to carry out these results
than Hon. Edward Rosewater OF The
Omaha Bee a man whom we have regarded
as being better equipped to serve the peo-
pie Of this state than any other person
within its borders, but who on account of
former actions has, been greatly hampered
In making the race but who in the con-
vention just closed has great reason to be
proud Of his endorsements received.

When the interstate commerce bill
was pending in congress twenty years
ago Omaha merchants and inanufac-
turers. instigated BY the railroad
trafhc managers, who made their
favored patrons believe it's operations
would prove disastrous to Omaha and
all other western cities. remonstrated
and petitioned against the enactment
Of the law. Time has effectively. dis
PEELED that delusion. The marvellous
development Of the Transmississippi
country Has stimulated the growth of
Transmississippi cities whose CONNER
cial and Industrial expansion kept pace
with the region tributary TO them re-
gardless of the restricted legislation
embodied in the original Interstate
commerce law and the subsequent
antitrust and anti-rebate laws.
The prophesies OF railroad magnates
who opposed the revision Of the inter-
state commerce law and their predic-
tons OF disaster to commercial centers
have already proved groundless. The
almost unprecedented rise In the price
OF railway securities in the face of the
impending abolition of arbitrary and
discriminating rates, which railroad
managers have claimed to be essential
to the effective and remunerative OPP
Grafton. affords conclusive proof that
the railroads will suffer no serious loss
by the new order of things. On the
contrary, the abolition of rebates,
drawbacks and under-hs nded allow
ances to favored shippers cannot fail
to increase very materially the incomes
of the railroads.
The stoppage of rebates in any form
may AFFECT heavy shippers who have
enjoyed special privileges to the detri-
ment of competitors, but in the long
run the enforcement of the square deal
in transportation will prove advantag-
eous to Industrial and commercial cen
ters. When every jobber, manufac-
turer and mill owner il placed on an
equal footing in transportation rates
and facilities there will be more eQui-
table competition and greater oppor-
tunity for men possessed Of capital.

side with other men of capital. brains

long as the railroads we're allowed to
exercise the function of Providence In
making one set of business men -four
ish while forthcoming their competi-
tors to perish.
The strict enforcement of interstate
regulation laws should, moreover, tend
to make business men more aggres-
sively independent. They will nc
longer allow themselves to become
mere retainers and political agents OF
railroad managers, but will assert
their rights without restraint or fear
Instead. of pulling apart they will pull
together to protect themselves and the
commercial community of which they
are a part whenever any discrimina-
ton or diversion of traffic is attempted

munity to uphold them in every con
test they will wage against unjust dis
elimination or extortion.
