Stringent measure with reference TO
national elections to the same effect
as the-New York law. is another sign
Of the deliberate popular Judgment,
although It is improbable that this
measure can be got through congress
az this session.
No one maintains that there has
been criminslly corrupt purpose in all
or even in most Of corporation cam
paign contributions in the past. They
had simply become customary and al
most. universal. Yet such has been
the revulsion of sentiment that there
are now few who do not regard their
tendency as corrupting and an evil

Moral Revolution in Progress.

wall street JOuTnhis
Many practices which ten years ago, FIVE
years ago, one year ago, and even six
months ago we're in favor. public opinion
having no condemnation for them, are now
held to be odious and even criminal. This
is, perhaps, the most notable development
of the day, namely, the creation of
higher standard for the conduct Of Ameri-
can business. The revelations OF graft in
the insurance and railroad companies are
a shock to national pride, and yet there is
hardly an American who does not know
that in one form or another graft has en-
tered largely into the cooperative life as
into the political life of the country. The
saving clause of the situation is that 1t
seems passing phase in our national
progress. The optimist has reason to re-
joice that the national conscience has been
touched and that public opinion is estab
fishing higher ideals.

A Great Nebraska Editor.
walt Mason's Monthly (Beatriee

Walt Masons Monthly CBeatrice).
When the name OF Edward Rosewater
is mentioned in Nebraska. It is the signal
for a general howl from lot of politicians
and newspaper men who have thus been
bowling. at frequent intervals, for many
years.
Recently the candidacy Of Mr.. Rosewater
for the United States senate was announced
in his own paper, The Omaha Bee. Mr..
Rosewater has been abroad on a govern
ment mission for some time. so the an
nouncement was made over the signature
OF his son. Victor Rosewater.
Immediately there was the usual shrek
of denunciation and derision from the ed
itors and statesmen who hold to the creed
that no man has the right to harbor an
ambition without their consent and ap-
prevail.
This publication is not in politics and has
NO ambition in that direction, but, in an
effort to be fair, we say few words about
the distinguished Omaha editor who appears
to have 80 many enemies
We believe he would be a most valuable
representative of Nebraska II sent to the
United States senate: he would carry US
back to the days OF Ingalls, and other cele-
brated senators who could not be sup
pressed when they had something worth
saying II there is man IN the senate
OF keener or more vigorous intellect than
Mr. Rosewater. his name has been mislaid.
His loyalty 10 Nebraska has been admitted
even by his enemies. and his loyalty does
not exhaust itself in words. He has in
vested all he owns in Nebraska, he has
made large personal sacrifices for Nebraska,
ne has preached the beauties and resources
OF Nebraska for lifetime. Whey then.
should not Nebraska reward him7 Because
a string OF chronic politicians and small
bore editors go into commissions al the mem
ton Of his Rameg
Mr. Rosewater Is a man OF dauntless
courage Of stern integrity Of almost super
human energy. He Is a mine OF political
| knowledge, tradition and wisdom; his SYM
pathies are with the people in every crisis
! involving their welfare, and that sympathy
/ is not maudlin. but practical. He is a man OF
/ clean life and habits; he is a large en-
ployer OF labor; he spends his money In
Nebraska like a gentleman. We fail 10 see
any good reason why he should not aspire
TO any once he desires and we honestly
believe that he would be an ornament TO
any once he obtained.

A Tip on the Knockers.
Western I.aborer.

The crystallizng of public sentiment
around the thought that Edward Rose
water is the logical man for senator is
certainly a very fine piece of work, when
one considers local conditions. 1t has be-
come quite the popular thing nowadays
to say something good of "the old man."
and some of the people who are or his
stan are surprised at themselves. For
a while, a few years ago, II was almost
a crime to say kind word of Mr.. Rose
water. There never was any excuse for
the bitterness worked up against him, and
many an anti" is coming to the end Of
his game, rather feeling better for having
reached that conclusion, for, when you
get right down to hard tscks the old
man" is a darn good fellow. He is getting
along in years and one term in the senate
will be about his limit. The men in the
Fontanelle club ought to cut out their
silly and childish get-even business and
lend their help to giving Omaha senator
who is on speaking terms with few of
the men behind the wages in this city.
The most bitter knocker Mr.. Rosewater
has in Omaha WILL II you pin down, admit
that he is closer to the people of Omaha
and the state than any man who ever
even hoped to be senator since Van Wyck's
time. The reasonable and sensible mem
bers OF the Fontanelle club ought TO shame
the rabd members until they come out
of their spasm. Sing the Get Sore" song
to them until they let up on their fool
ishness. Their constant, ceaseless, sense
less knocking on e RosewateT Ia getting
to be worse than a sore boil. It's the same
old knock by the same old anvil chorus
What will they do when 1.-The old man"
is dead? We don't mind seeing a man like
John L. Webster, Gurdon w. Wattles or
]. H. Willard get out and knock on Rose
water, because they want to be senator;
that Is natural and all right. but the peo-
pie who are really knocking him are light
weights, who are not candidates for the
Job themselves and who think anti-Rose-
waterism is popular in Omaha this sum-
mer. Give 1.-THE old man" chance for his
white ally In Douglas county this year. Let
him have the delegation and then II he
cannot make good in the legislature he
will be out Of the game for keeps and
you won't hear him holler about It, either.

ANTl-ANABoH1sT Co OPERA rIoN.

AN1I-ANAHCdlSI CO-OFBhAIi
The remedy suggested by Andrew
d. White of defensive cooperation
among civilized nations against anar-
chlsts is valuable and capable of ex-
tensive application. AS a matter of
fact, there has been for years to some
extent cooperation of the police and
secret service of the various govern
ments, which by legislation and even
more by courtesy. aid one another
with information and in running down,
not only anarchists who have been
guilty of overt crimes. but also those
who are found or suspected to be dan
gerous characters. -
But these methods have not been
sufficiently systemized and specialized,
and the legal authority of some of
the countries essential to success. like
our own, is gravely defective. Indeed,
the subject presents extreme difficulty
under institutions like those of the
United States. Canada and England.
There Is inherent criminality in the
teachings of the extreme anarchists,
yet many who are the most dangerous
teachers are careful to keep them
selves clear of the overt acts which
our laws lay hold of. II 1t we're pos
sible to reach such teachers and in
citers to murder. 1t would largely
solve the problem of dealing with the
ignorant, depraved. fanatical and de-
generate members of society who are
merely the instruments that ply the
dagger and throw the bomb. The
one type as we'll as the other is a
venomous reptile that deserves sum-
mary determination. but 1t will re-
quire great change TO adapt our sys-
tenn so that they can be treated as
such.
While 1t is possible for all the civil
liEed countries to combine and con-
centrate their police powers for far
more effective espionage of murderous
anarchy in doctrine and in act, IT will
be necessary first to agree on new
definitions and methods of dealing
with such pests OF society.

CORPORATION MONEY IN POLITICS.


The supreme court OF New York,
which unanimously holds that George
w. Perkins cannot be held for grand
larceny for having contributed from
the funds of the New York Life In
surance company, of which at the
time he was vice president. a large
sum for political campaign purposes,
was careful at the same time to make
clear that it does not hold that his
action was ethical or expedient, or
that the amount OF the contribution,
could not be recovered. back. The
sole point is that under the law as it
then stood the facts do not constitute
an indietable ofiense. which is pre-
cisely the view taken originally by
Prosecuting Attorney Jerome, for which
he has been roundly denounced in
many quarters.
But identieally the same acts, IL
committed today, would be indlctaDle
and liable to heavy penalties. for the
legislature in the meantime has
amended the Law so as to bring them
within the category OF criminal Of

ular reference to the facts which the
courts have now passed upon. Beyond
question the New York law as IL now
stands il In line with almost universal
opinion as 70 what It should be and
with what It viii be generally as soon
as the legislatures. state and national
have ample opportunity TO act. The

A PECULIAR EXCEPTION.

Sleeping Car Compa Riea Lefr Out of

Chicago Record Herald.

ment providing that sleeping car companies
shall be regarded as common carriers and

commission. sis bstH-
The express companies and the oil pipe
lines stay in the bin Only the sleeping
car companies are left out.
Why this exception has been made why
these particular common carriers-for Of
course every sensible person knows that
practically they are common carriers-are
given by the conferees comfortable, priv
ileged position outside OF the warm juris-
diction OF the commission Is not explained.
Or. rather, It is not explained in a way
to satisfy average intelligence and fairness,
the hints that the Washington correspond
ents offer being anything but compli-
mentary TO the supposed authors of the ex-
eeption.
The commission is absurd on its face and
absolutely inconsistent with the whole spirit
and purpose of the first paragraph OF the
first section OF the bill, That paragraph
has been highly commended on account
of the broad, intelligent, honest definition
of transportation given in 1t. The term

ItAkh Nbttu AINpsIs
Edward Rosewater's senatorial boom has
evidently struck a popular chord among
the newspapers of the state. Nearly every
paper that has come to our notice has
favorable article concerning the veteran
editor for United States senator. Nor is
his popularity confined to the newspapers.
Not day passes that we do not hear
favorable comment regarding his candi-
dacy. He seems to be the most talked Of
candidate, and all his friends seem to think
that he would do the state more good as
senator than any other man.
