NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., April l2.-(spe-
cialD--A few days ago a number Of the
owners Of elevators and grain men in this
vicinity met in this city and effected tenn.
porary organization for the purpose o.
seeing il some means could not be devised
whereby the railroad companies could be
compelled TO furnish them cars when
needed. A committee was instructed n
hire legal talent and to take such other
action as they deemed best. This action
had a most salutary effect, as the rail.
roads have put cars in front Of every ele-
vator and have plenty on the sidetracks
This Is greatly In contrast with the action
Of the railroads in the last four months.
when elevators could not get to exceed
two cars per month.

Suit Under TwO-Cent Fare Law.

Attorney General Thompson today recon-
mended to County Attorney Roach Of
North Platte, Lincoln county. that he
begin prosecution of the Union Pacific
Railroad company for violation Of the
2-cent passenger fare law. County Attor-
ney Roach complained to the attorney gen
eTal that the Union Pacific continues to
charge at the rate of cents per mile for
tickets between North Platte and Sidney,
Notwithstanding both cities are in Ne
braska. The Union Pacific justfes the
3-cent rate because a few miles of its line
east of Sidney goes outside OF this state
into Colorado, making the traffic interstate
and therefore beyond the control of state
laws The suit may be made a test of the
legality Of the new law.

No 9-to-4 School Hours.

Washington is distinctly relieved to learn
that the conferees on the District appropria-
tion bill have made short work of the
amendment adopted by the Senate fixing
the public school hours from am. to
pm. The unofficial announcement that the
conferees have practically agreed to cast
this item out of the bill is in accordance
with the general expectation. 1t was not
reasonable to believe that so radical a
change. affecting thousands of children and
imposing a hardship well upon their
parents, would be enacted without careful
investigation into the demand, the necessity
and the effect. more unpopular propo-
sition has not been preached in Congress
for many years, and its success in gaining
a place on the District appropriation bill
and securing a chance of enactment Is an
unfortunate suggestion that the local leg
islation is not carefully safeguarded as
the interests of the national capital demand.

An Omnibus Bill.

There Is no more urgent local proposition
now before Congress than that to rearrange
the street railway lines to provide for a
free and convenient access to the new
union station from all parts Of the District.
This measure should have been passed more
than a year ago. to permit the planning and
completion Of the necessary construction
work in season for the occupancy Of the
station. Its delay until now has imposed
upon the street railway companies a seri-
Gus burden of responsibility. and 1t may re-
suit In a prolonged wait by the public for
proper street car facilities after the new
terminal Is In use.
For the sake Of the community 1t Is to be
deplored that the House committee. In ap-
proving the measure yesterday. should have
loaded 1t up with other items than those
which relate directly to the readjustment Of
the street car trackage with reference to
the railroad terminal. There Is, It Is true, a
shadow OF warrant for adding as an amend
ment the controverted northeast cross
town line. for which there Is some demand,
and to which there Is also some opposition.
The addition Of the smoke-law extension
amendment. however desirable from the
point OF view of public health, IL less logical.
But least excusable of all the riders Is the
broad-tire bill, which has absolutely nothing
to do with the subject-matter Of the main

A Virginia Compliment.

That democratic editor in Virginia who
declares for Mr.. Roosevelt for another
term In the White House lives at Char
lottesvile and therefore is near neighbor
when the President is staying at his coun-
try place In the Old Dominion. Had that
fact anything to do with the deliverance!
The compliment was graceful. II the sug-
Sestion lacked practical merit. Virginia
hospitality knows no bounds, and may be
made to obliterate even party lines.
II we may examine this proposition in the
cold light of the everyday 1t presents some
difficulties One reason given why Mr..
Roosevelt in the White House for another
four years would be of more service than
a democrat. even Mr.. Bryan, Is that the
Senate is certain to remain republican. and
he could hope for mere assistance from
that body in carrying forward policies In
line with those which democrats already
approve. But could he?
Both the Senate and the House cooperate
with Mr. Roosevelt whenever possible now
because he is the accepted republican leader
put in office by republican votes. 1t is all
In the family. What is accomplished in
ures to the party's benefit But If he
We're occupying the White House as the
Beneficiary of movement which had turned
down the regular republican program. the
republican Senate would hardly accept
him as a coadjutor. On the contrary, it
might reject his appointments and oppose
his policies even more vigorously than IL
dealing with democratic President. II
would treat him a seceder-or, using q
stronger word, as an apostate-who, for
office. had abandoned his old friends and
eaten his own words.
This much, however, is made clear by
this Virginia compliment: the republicans
may make up their minds to encounter Mr..
Roosevelt in next years campaign. In
1904 they had to face the music with Mr.
Mckinley doing democratic duty. The
campaign comparison was between the
calm conservatism of the Ohioan and the
impulsive and explosive radcalism of the
New Yorker. Remember Mckinley. Be
ware of Roosevelt The one had steered
the ship safely in stormy weather. The
other would wreck her even in a calm.
Next year Mr.. Roosevelt will be doing
democratic duty. The comparison then
will be between him and anybody the re-
publcans may nominate. Democratic
spellb;nders will dwell upon his splendid
and aggressive, and progressive American
ism. and any qualities that can be invented
of the opposite character for the republican
candidate. Remember Roosevelt who
stood Wall street on it's head. Beware of
Smith. Jones, or Brown, whom Wall street
hopes TO own. So runs the world away.

Public Access to the Salon.

The decision of the Corcoran Art Gallery
trustees to open the institution to the
public on several evenings during the ex-
iibition of paintings constituting the first
rational salon is gratifying and will be
aighly appreciated by the public of Wash
ngton. This movement insures practically
very Washingtonian an opportunity to in
spect the art works and thus to become &C
quainted with the products of contemporary
American painters. Under the present ar
rangement, in addition to the free opening
tomorrow from am. to 10 pm, the gal
.ery will be accessible to the public during
the same hours on the 2Sth instant and on
