by way of Quebec. He does not expect TO
do much writing while abroad.
A burglar was very much discouraged the

that a woman can't use hammer without
smashing her thumb.
George Irving the last surviving nephew
OF Washington Irving, marvelously hale

Avenue hotel, New York. Mr.. Irving is
practically the sole remaining member of
the Irving family, OF which he is engaged

E. H. Hartman sent his $1,000 automobile

Fairfield News-Herald (rep.).
E. Rosewater has announced his candi-
dacy for United States senator and that
puts a different face on the matter. as
hitherto in common with some others we
had supposed his name was being used to
divide the supporters OF Attorney General
Brown. II Omaha expects to be in the SEN
atorial race Rosewater is the man Doug
las county will have to unite on, as he
appears the only man there who has at
this time respectable support in the state.
OF Mr.. Rosewaters ability there Is no
shadow of doubt; there is probably not a
man in Nebraska who has as much infor-
nation on as many different practical ques-
tons concerning our people as has the edi-
tor Of The Bee. He has made a manly
fight for the square deal But judging from
the past II is too much to expect that
Omaha will unite on anybody. That being
the case Norris Brown will hold his lead
and he has shown himself worthy OF the
confidence reposed in him by our people.

4 No.PAss CONTENTION.

All accounts agree that the compact
among the Missouri railroads to cut
OF passes to political CO, Eention dele
gates has so Ia teen veFs strictly en-
forced, 50 that the ri t.As, is,e demo-
cratic state conventio yas attended
by only one-half the de- 1ss needs
no further explanation.
II is, however. an object lesson that
can hardly fail to impress the Missouri
mind with a more definite idea of the
influence which the free pass has
welded in party conventions and gov
eminent. The money value of the
transportation OF one-half OF state
convention of a great political party
mounts up to tens Of thousands OF
dollars, and It can be seen that in the
nature OF things such a factor must
easily have been decisive in the av-
erage convention, and certainly corrup-
tive to whatever extent It went.
whether decisive or not.
The chief business of the state con-
vention Just held was to nominate two
judges of the supreme court. large
part of whose business necessarily re-
lates to cases in which railroad cor
porations directly or indirectly have
great interest. Heretofore the nomi-
nations would therefore have been
made by a convention carried at
great expense practically by litigant
parties in interest.
1t will be strange indeed II this ex-
perience shall not bring Missouri with
in the list Of compulsory anti-pass
states, for certainly the carrier COM
panies. having themselves inaugurated
such a reform, are entitled to the en-
enlargement and support of the law.

THE OLD FISHING HOLE.

Detroit Free Press.
I'd like TO be a boy again at just this
time of year.
Without thing to worry me, without a
thing to fear;
l wouldn't give my children up for all the
joys Of life,
Nor would / want to travel long or far
without my wife.
But STILL when skies above are blue and
all the world is gay,
There comes a secret longing for the boy
hood days Of May;
There daily comes a yearning that seems
yearning to be back again at that old
fishing hole.

When blossoms spread their petals and
give forth their sweet perfumes
When winter SHOWS have vanished and
the sun smiles overhead,
And all the earth is garisnded with tulips
I would not part with little Will nor trade
my darling Sue,
But somehow when the air is warm and
skies above are blue
sit and idly ponder, and my thoughts in
To days when but little tad sought

From the cool and dark recesses 1 have

The food that for hungry boy by nature
was designed;
It is there ! long to wander In my bare
feet as OF yore,
with my mothers stern injunction to re-
main upon the shore.
But l always disobeyed her, though she
knew II not, dear soul,
For I'd turn my ragged trousers up to
wade that fishing hole.
I have fshed since then where beauty
seemed to reign a smiling queen,
In places where the Masters hand had

With my bamboo rod. my silken line, my
waders, and my creel,

But something then was missing, for II

I'd need no guide to take me to that dear
old fishing hole.

RAILROAD STOCKHOLDERS INTEREST.
The continuance of disclosures of
questionable relations between railroad
officials and coal companies bids fair
to develop a scandal far exceeding the
Illicit operations of the big insurance
companies, and although the scope of
the Interstate Commerce commission
investigation is limited by the joint
resolution of congress and has indeed
only fairly begun, 1t has already
startled the real owners of the rail-
roads, the stockholders. whose inter
ests, like those of the freight-paying
public. have apparently been sacrificed
to the personal interests of officials
trusted with management of the car
rier corporations. 1t Is therefore not
surprising to hear of a movement
among stockholders for thorough leg
lslative investigation of railroad man
agement in Pennsylvania after the
manner of the Armstrong committee
with reference to the big New York
lll6 lu5uIdhCS companies
The sworn testimony of the coal COM
pany officials who paid subsidies in
cash, or the equivalent of cash in stock,
and OF railroad officials and agents
who received the subsidies. demon
strates that transportation in Penn
sylvania has been habitually debauched
through an elaborate system of cor
ruption. Leaving entirely out of sight
the injustice to the general business
public, 1t requires no thought for rail-
road stockholders TO understand that
this system of corruption among the
custodians of their property has been
at their expense. The infallible effect
of such discrimination. whether in
| transportation rates or in services. is
to strange and reduce freight pro-
ducing industry along their lines,
while the enormous subsidies paid
therefor have gone into the private
pockets of the officials and not into the
railroad treasures.
Nor do these systematic operations
| appear 10 nave oeeu cOnuneu merely
to payments of cash and stock. al
though the extent in other directions
has not been brought out in the In
vestigation now in progress. There are
ominous suggestions, the same as al
a corresponding stage of the insurance
scandal, of widespread corruption in
the purchase OF locomotives, steel
rails, cars and equipment for the Penn
sylvania system. such purchases for
that road alone aggregating millions
OF dollars annually. The revelations
in the one direction OF coal involves
the road in suspicion in every direc
ton.
Enough at least is known 10 cause
every stakeholder in this road in ths
United States to demand the light Of
publicity in every nook and corner OF
the whole management, even Il
nothing but the stockhoIdIng interest.

EXPORT RATES ALSO.

The decision of Judge Mcpherson of
the United States district court at Kan
sas City further narrows the field for
transportation determinations by APP
plying the interstate commerce law to
export tariffs and rates on all export
shipments from interior points over
sea. 1t supplements the decisions
which establish the force of the law
with respect to commerce with ad-
jacent foreign nations, under which
the chief executive officers of the Bur
lington road. which is also involved in
the Kansas City cases. have been
within a few weeks heavily fined for
granting rebates.
1t may be that ocean carriage, con-
sidered by itself, cannot be regulated
by national authority, buzz it is common
sense that transportation across state
lines from the interior to the waters
edge can be so regulated. Competi-
ton is a regulator of transportation on
salt water to an extent not possible on
exempted from the control of law or
land it would open wide a door, fol-
evasions and rebates.
The effect of the decision is to com.
pei either the publication and equal
enforcement of export rates or the
official quotation of rates from point
of origination to. seaport, leaving ocear
carriage to take care of itself. To thai
extent at least all shippers will be
put on an equal footing, which is the
very essence of the purpose of public
control over transportation.

The abandonment of Fort Niobrara
as an active army post by the transfer
of all the troops stationed there to
other points is unfortunate. From
the military standpoint troops sta

be needed for the suppression of In

strategic point for many purposes

ORGANIZATION or THE COUNCIL.

The first effort of the new demo-
cratic city council, that OF orgsniza-
ton, is a distinct disappointment.
without rejecting upon the character
or capacity of the man chosen to head
that body as its president, 1t goes
without saying that he will be greatly
handicapped by his inexperience in
public affairs and his lack of familiar
ity with parliamentary practice. With
the best of intentions and closest study
1t will take him some time to acquire
the information which the presiding
officer of the city council should have.
That the democrats have made a great
mistake in not following the estab-
lished precedent of selecting for such
trying position a man of previous
experience either in the council or in
some similar public assemblage is sure
to be developed.
Not only in the choice of an mex
perienced member for president, but
also in the method of choice. has the
new council exhibited it's lack of CO.
herence. 1t would naturally be sup
posed that with eleven democrats to
one republican the majority would get
together for business without any ex-
hibition of internal discord. To be
under the necessity of taking 1lS bal
lots before effecting organization in
itself disparages the ability of the
democrats TO shoulder the responsible
tiles which have devolved upon them
and to recognize the scope of the work
before them.
Although the new council has
started out with it's left foot, it is to
be hoped it will soon steady down and
walk erectly along the straight line.

AbIs.t Republican in the state.

With f. Rosewater in the race for sem
ator Norris Brown is liable to have a
chance to step down and out. In years
past the republicans have said Rosewater
is as much a populist as he was a republic
can and turned him down, but now the
republicans, II you might judge from their
bowling, are all pops and Rosewater ought
to be an ideal candidate. Anyway. he is
the ablest republican in the state and the
party could do worse than to make him its
choice.

we're involved. At bottom that interest
is vitality connected with the freight
paying interest, namely, the whole in
dustrial community, in equal rights
in transportation rates and services,
and there is no more wholesome sign
than the fact that It is at least be-
ginning TO assert itself.
