oppoRrUNrrfBs ron YOUNG MEN.

In the early days Of the agitation
against the menace Of trusts and indus
trial combinations in this country, the
readiest argument was that the mo
nopolstic tendency was calculated to
rob young men Of opportunity and incen-
tive TO individual effort. Colonel Bryan
in particular led a chorus bewailing the
fate Of "The Young Man Absalom,' pic
tured as impoverished by the conditions
Of the times and unable to find field
for the exercise Of his endeavor.
That argument is not now heard so
often. The young man, Absalom, still
has job and like positions are open for
millions like him, with certainty of lu-
crative return for expenditure of intel
ligently directed effort and energy. The
sign, male Help Wanted" is displayed
in every industrial plant in the nation
in the offices, on the farms, at the rail
road shops and at the headquarters Of
every concern prohtably participating In
the activity Of this era of prosperity.
The shortage in unskilled labor is ap-
parently worldwide. Ireland, Sweden,
Italy and Spain are using every effort
to check emigration Of their young men
to American shores. Agents of the Pan
anna canal are securing Europe and
meeting with poor success in securing
workmen for the canal enterprise. Rail-
roads are complaining because they can
can not secure sufficient workmen for
construction, building is being retarded
in many cities by lack Of mechanics and
the farmers of the great midwest are
already wondering how much of their
crops will fail of proper harvesting on
account Of scarcity of labor. The op-
portunitles were never so good for the
men who have only their Drawn for cap
ital
While the demand for unskilled labor
is greater than ever, trained men are
also wanted more and their services
command premium in almost any mar
ket The steel mills are starting indus
trial schools for boy apprentices to meet
the certain and growing demand for
skilled artisans in the future. Railroad
managers are bidding in the open mar
ket for the services Of men with tech
nlcal education and many firms in diff
ferent lines are offering prizes for en-
ployes who offer suggestions to increase
the efficiency of management. The
shipping interests are appealing for
trained men in their service and in
every line constant effort is being made
to develop future managers and heads
of departments from among employees.
No time ever offered better opportun-
ity for earnest and faithful young men.
Young men who can make good have no
trouble in finding an opening and those
who can not make good would be mis-
fits no matter what industrial organiza-
ton prevailed.

HOW TO FIND GOOD BEER.

Good Old Doctor Wiley, chief OF the
bureau Of chemistry Of the Department
Of Agriculture, has come to the relief
Of the country again. During the win
ter while congress was in session, DIR.
Wiley issued frequent bulletins dealing
nished analyses of many different
brands, labeled some as dangerous and
others as good and gave explicit in
formation as TO the effects of hot water
and sugar on some Of the favorite
brands. So complete was the work of
the chemistry bureau on this subject
that the drinking man who did not
achieve the results desired from his
libations had none but himself to blame.
All he had to do was to follow direc-
tons furnished by DR.. Wiley and his
associate experts,
Statistics show that whisky drinking
decreases with the approach of warm
weather, while the consumption of beer
and lighter drinks is greatly increased
DIR. Wiley appreciates this and has Just
issued a pamphlet of instructions to the
beer drinkers of the country. the pur-
pose Of which is to furnish them with
facilities for testing the malt duid and
ascertaining If it is pure. The published
pamphlet gives all the information
known to science on how to Judge beer,
and the author Of the document gives
the further assurance that 1.-THE tests are
very simple" This doubtless viii be
good news to fastidious people who
want to drink beer that is pure and
wholesome and as good as the label says
It is. DIR. Wiley's pamphlet makes this
possible and describes the process as
| follows:
The chemical apparatus needed is merely
| q round bottomed distillation flask. a gram
/ Of precipitated calcium carbonate. q con-
\ denser. an accurately graduated stoppered
/ flask. two-holed rubber stopper, an
/ adapter. a small funnel, n pound Of glass
beads, a copy Of squibh's alcohol table, a
| copy OF Baumhauer's tables, one Zeiss i'm
! mersion refractonemeteT, a platinum dish,
/ one water oven, one copy beer wort tables,
/ one package neutral htmus paper, a small
| hydrochlorie acid. one polariscope, beaker,
! solution of sodium acetate, one burette,
| one centrifuge, one platinum crucible, a
4 glass plate, a cake OF carnauba wax, a
| pointed piece OF ivory and sheet of pure
| rubber.
So long as the purity Of beer may be
ascertained by such simple process,
the man or woman who will buy or
drink an adulterated brew should stand
the consequences without grumbling.

poLIrloAL SrocK JoBReRe.

Washington has a real sensation over
the discovery of joker in a law passed
by the last congress, supervising the
banking and financial institutions Of the
District Of Columbia. The measure was
drawn to bring trust companies and
savings banks under the same super
vision that is exercised by congress over
national banks. The bill appeared to
be all right and went merrily through
the senate and house without OppOsi-
ton and was signed by the president.
Now comes the startling discovery that
the law places the big stock broking con-
Germs, Of which there are many in Wash
lngton, under the supervision Of the
comptroller Of the treasury and makes
all their books and records public TO the
officials. Washington is now nervously
wondering what the result would be
should the list OF customers Of these
brokerage houses be made public.
The country has been RECALLED from
time 70 time with scandals and near
scandals concerning the members of con
gress and the stock market When the
Wilson and Mckinley tariff laws were
being framed IL was charged that certain
senators and members took advantage OF
inside information and reaped golden
harYests from investments in stocks that
Omaha daily bee., 1907-03-24

were certain 70 be affected by the pass
age Of the tariff measures. II Is known,
too, that certain members have profted
by deals I'm stocks, the values Of which
were affected By legislation framed in
committees Of which these men were
members. A prominent democratic
senator who died recently was found to
be q large holder Of gas, railway and
other public utility stocks in Washing
ton, and he was for years n member
Of the committee that framed all the
laws governing the District of Columbia.
A republican member of the house, who
was a member Of the district committee
for years, was defeated for reelection
in the last campaign, but has decided TO
remain in Washington as the repre-
sentative Of certain public utility cor
laws.
These are specific instances of mem
bers Of congress using their committee
positions for stock operations. The num-
Der of such cases is probably very small,
but the fact remains that Washington
has more stock brokers than any city
Of its size in the country, and their
patronage does not come from the under
paid government clerks who constitute
the larger part Of the population Of the
capital city. The new law, while
passed without its import being appre-
ciated, may prove of great value in
checking speculation by government
officials, so far as publicity will check it.

POCKETS IN WoMAEs DRESS.

Miss Thomas, president Of Bryn
Mawr, is having no end of trouble over
the enforcement of one of her recent
orders, the students of the college pro-
testing that the edict constitutes vio-
lation Of individual rights, but-worse
than all that-confiicts with the DEGREES
Of fashion, which is the court Of last re-
sort in the regulating OF feminine appear
ances The trouble has all been caused
by President Thomas direction that the
young women must have pockets in
their gowns. The order, ukase, edict, or
whatever it may be called, is based on
the fact that the girls must carry keys
and be responsible for their keeping
and, in the opinion Of President Thomas,
a pocket in the gown is the only safe
place for a key. Philadelphia papers
are watching the case closely and daily
contain reports Of meetings at which
the students pass resolutions denouncing
the order and pledging united opposition
to it.
Bryn Mawr's president, having under
taken to enforce her ideas, is going at
It with admirable courage, but the fight
looks hopeless for her. After she has
marshalled all her arguments in favor
Of her plan, the handsome girl student
can simply retort that the dressmaker
declares that a pocket will spoil the fit
of the gown, disturbing the smoothness
Of contour indispensable to the well
dressed womans comfort Of mind.
Fashion places the ban on the female
pocket and the college girls know that
between fashion and college presidents,
fashion is "She. who must be obeyed."

MIsrAKFN PnLIcE

Nebraska railroad managers doubtless
realize now that they have pursued a
mistaken policy in dealing with their pa
irons and the public in this state. The
mistaken policy has consisted not
merely I'm leaving 10 lawyers and sub
ordinates" the work Of dealing with the
representatives OF the people, but also
in endorsing and approving a program
Of opposition to the constituted author
titles that could not fail to react.
The refusal Of the railroads TO pay
their taxes for three successive years
and their unsuccessful appeal to the fed
eral courts to be sustained in their at
tempted notification Of the law may not
have been alone responsible for the re-
vulsion Of public sentiment against rail
road domination in Nebraska, but It I'M
questionably supplied the capstone on
q monument of railroad folly that served
to widen the breach and insure speedy
retribution.
Instead of learning the lesson of the
railway tax cases with n view to tenn
pering the wind, the railroad agents
seem to have taken the one course be-
fore the legislature certain to put them
completely TO rout. The party in power
was committed to carry out certain
specified reforms by platform pledges
upon which it's candidates had success
fully appealed TO the people. Yet the
railroad lobby, apparently under in
structions, refused to bow to the popu-
and undertook to defeat every proposed
bill providing restrictions Of any kind
upon the previously unlimited privileges
Of the railroads. To save their cor
porate masters from being compelled to
redress admitted grievances, they be-
sought members to repudiate their party
obligations and to violate promises pub
licly made and subscribed over their
own signatures.
The republican platform promised
only few items Of railroad legislation,
such as an anti-pass law, a terminal tax
law, an employers liability law, and a
plenary railroad commission law, but
the mistaken policy of fighting every
thing has also brought upon the rail
roads the 2-cent fare law, the reciprocal
demurrage bills, the commodity rate
bills, and several others that are in fair
prospect Of enactment. The spokesman
for the railroads are now begging the
legislature to leave something to be
done by the new railway commission
where they may hope to have more gen.
erous consideration. But whatever
merit such argument might have had
has been greatly impaired by the foolish
operations of the lobby against all I'm
portant reform measures.
The situation simply vindicates the
advice offered to the railroads in all
sincerity by The Bee from time to time
to pay up their taxes and to submit to
reasonable egulation-advlce disre-
garded until too late. The railroad
managers must wake up thoroughly to
the changed conditions that prevail in
Nebraska and readjust themselves as
soon as possible.
