The New York campaign against
gun-toting is traceable to the com
mission of ten murders in one week,
with the revolver OF knife, and the
serious wounding Of more than a score
Of persons in ARRAYS in which the dirk,
the slung-shot and the brass knucks
figured as weapons Of offense. Il is a
rather sad commentary on American
respect for law that such methods have
to be used to enforce the laws against
carrying deadly weapons. No good
excuse can be offered by any citizen of
any part of the country, in this day,
for the weapon-carrying habit. In the
frontier days in the west, when con-
ditions compelled nearly every man
to be his own law, there was both
excuse and necessity for pistol carry
ing, but the trusty "gun" was strapped
to the waist and was as much a part
of the dress as the shirt and more so
than the hat. The concealed weapon
habit is of eastern origin and prima
facie evidence of either cowardice or
criminal intent.
In dealing with the deadly weapon
vice, New York might take a lesson
from Texas and many southern states,
where the gun-toter once attained
his highest development. The Texas
law makes pistol carrying a felony,
except in specific authorized cases, and
requires the revolver seller to report
his sales accurately to the police au-
thorities. The Texas authorities go
on the theory that the sale of pistols
should be surrounded by as many pre-
cautions and safeguards as the sale of
poisons. The adoption of such laws in
other states might relieve them Of the
homicide mania which seems to be
growing instead of lessening.

BRtveiNe THE NATTER BowF.


That Kansas wheat and corn Is
worth about 8 cents more per bushel
than the wheat and corn OF Nebraska
is the striking assertion made by the
New Orleans Picayune and proved by
figures. The difference in value is
not due to any superior quality Of the
Kansas products, but is caused en-
tirely by the fact that Kansas is 220
miles nearer New Orleans and has the
advantage of water transportation to
the gulf port. The Picayune declares
that this advantage means a loss Of
100000 to Nebraska on its wheat
crop and a total of 100000 on its
wheat, corn, oats and other cereals.
"In addition" says the Picayune, Ito
the proposed channel for commerce be-
tween the northern lakes and the
Mississippi river, there ought to be
first-class through-water transporta-
tion from st. Paul TO New Orleans,
Omaha to New Orleans, from Little
Rock to New Orleans, and from all
intermediate river. points to each Of
the several terminal stations, This
will be done when the necessity of Sc
curing the cheapest transportation
charges shall be realized and when
the up-to-date steam vessels shall be
operated on the internal waterways. 1"
The Picayune's figures are slightly
inaccurate, as the rate on wheat from
Omaha to the gulf is but 1 cent a
bushel more than from Kansas City,
but the argument is sound as showing
the great loss suffered annually by
western farmers by reason OF the
heavy cost of railroad transportation
as compared with water transporta-
ton in getting their crops to market.
Conditions emphasize the Importance
of securing navigable channels on the
streams in the interior of the country
as It is to spend millions annually in
the improvement of rivers nearer the
seaboard. The railroads frankly con-
fess their inability to handle all the
traffic offered to them, thus furnishing
an additional reason in support of the
plan now contemplated by the Inland
Waterways commission, authorized by
the last congress, for a systematic i'm
provement of all of the rivers of the
country that can possibly be made
practically navigable.

TWO WINDMILL FIGHTERs.

James NJ Beck, former assistant at
torney general of the United States
and now a corporation attorney, and
Prof Charles r. Henderson Of the
University of Chicago are the latest
additions to the long list of able men
making startling discoveries to alarm
the country. In an address at bank
ers' convention in Philadelphia, Mr..
Beck, admitting that he is losing his
faith in the American people, said
I believe that never before has class
hatred so dominated the public mind as
at this hour. In McKinley's time there
was an era OF good feeling, but / think
today a man must be blind who cannot
see the feeling never before 80 exagger-
ated OF hatred and envy of prosperity.
Mr.. Beck is apparently convinced
that every man who has dollar above
his immediate needs is the object of
envy and hatred and malice on the
part of all who are less abundantly
supplied with the worlds goods. He
seems to be laboring under the i'm
preston that the common, everyday
Woodworking American hates wealth
for its own sake and is ready to join
in any action that would destroy the
rich and strangle prosperity, The pic
ture is a dismal one, but is filled with
sunshine add sweetness compared with
that limned by Prof. Henderson, de-
~, Of In
man. In supporting a bill before the
Illinois legislature for the establish
ment of a workinemRn's insurance
scheme by employers, Prof. Henderson
said
worklngrnen are becoming criminals on
account of the desperate outlook they are
often forced 90 face This bill must be
| passed In order to quell this spirit of re-
volt and win the workingman back to
the church. the law. and the government.
Glass hatred does not dominate the
American people and 1t is difficult to
decide whether Mr.. Beck is the more
foolish when he talks about the work
ingman's hatred of wealth, or Prof.
Henderson, when he chatters about the
workingman becoming a criminal when
he hesitates long enough TO consider
his awful position. The wage workers
OF the nation are not criminals and
have no intention of becoming so, They
are enjoying steady employment, with
their services at a premium, and at
better wages than are paid to toilers in
any other country in the world. Every
development in the commercial and In
dustrial world in the last year shows

tween capital and labor, and that their

Railroad tax agents are making a
brave stand before the State Board of
Assessment to secure reduced taxes IN

one of them insists that no increase be

erty, although it is morally certain
that a considerable increase will be
shown by the grand assessment roll.

MORE LEGAL HORSE PLAY.

The peremptofy order issued by the
Water board requiring the water COM
pany to build forthwith a $4,000, 600
gallon reservoir at a specified location
is nothing but another installment of
legal horse-play in the series of SINH
lar performances with which the pub
lie has been RECALLED during the four
years that we have been perfecting
immediate" municipal ownership of
the water plant by compulsory pur-
chase under the Howell water bill. The
city through it's Water board first
elected to buy the works and appointed
appraisers to fix the value, but when
the appraisement was rendered it
elected not to buy the works at that
valuation and appointed another engi-
neer to represent the city for a re-
appraisement The water company
took the position that the valuation
made is binding ,on the city and has
appealed to the federal court for a de-
cree of specific performance in the 0on-
tract of sale. While this suit is pend
ing the owners of the water company
will hardly be disposed to put any
more money into the plant beyond
what is necessary to keep 1t in repair
without some assurance on the part
of the city that the cost of the i'm
provements would be added to the val
uation fixed by the appraisers as the
price to be paid in the event that pur-
chase is effected under the pending
procedure.
That the four years stagnation pro-
duced by the compulsory purchase
scheme has prevented engagements
and improvements to meet the steadily
increasing demands of growing city,
which would otherwise naturally have
been made by the water company, is
obvious to all. That is the most dan
gerous and Objectionable feature of the
water works situation, so far as it con-
Germs the people Of Omaha as a whole,
because 1t Is constantly exposing the
city to unnecessary fire risks and ham
pering our industrial expansion. But
no piecemeal solution of the problem
through the construction of a new
reservoir for temporary relief will an
swer the purpose. AS The Bee pointed
out months ago, We must in the long
run accept one of two alternatives
either come to an agreement with the
owners of the water works for pur-
chase by the city at a mutually satls-
factory price, or waive the purchase
right and enter into a new contract
with substantial concessions in the
way of lower hydrant rentals and re-
duced meter rates. No amount of
legal horse-play is likely to change the
final outcome as thus forecasted.

Who Keeps his eyes to the Blended skies

The man who bends unto his task,
Though fate has been unkind,
And does his best to reach the crest
