ETERNAL. VIGILANCE

NiHHL-
After confering power upon the new
railroad commission to fix freight
rates, the legislature must go further
and provide against the emergency of
the commission being invalidated by
the supreme court, on the ground Of
noncompliance with the law in the
matter of advertising the amendment
to the constitution creating said COM
mission.
The railroads are not going to fore
go their plunder, through excessive
freight rates until they have exhaust
ed all means possible to them of re-
tanning the same. 1t will be remem-
bered that an extra edition of the
weekly papers of the state in which
the amendment was advertised was
issued, as the secretary of state neg
lected to authorize the publication Of
the notice early enough to appear in
the regular editions Many of these
extras were printed on sheets OF
paper of common letter size, and con
tanned no other matter aside from the
notice of the amendment under the
title of the paper and the date line.
leaving it an open question to be de-
termined by the supreme court,
whether or not the extras thus issued
constituted regular number of such
publications within the meaning of the
law.
In case the amendment should be
found invalid because of insufficient
advertising, it then becomes neces-
sary to have other means of securing
relief from railroad extortion. The
legislature must take cOSHlZdHce OI
the doubt regarding the validity of the
constitution amendment, and enact
maximum freight law that will be-
come operative in the event of the
amendments failure.
Again, it is the opinion of some
lawyers that an attempt may be made
by the railroads to maintain that the
trick language of the amendment it
self limits the scope of powers that
may be exercised by the commission.
In view of all the facts in the case,
the legislature in order to act it's part
in good faith with the people are
compelled to anticipate emergencies
that may arise to defeat rate reduc
ton. and provide against them, even
to providing that new amendment
be submitted two years hence that
will be sufficiently explicit to remove
all doubts of its adequacy or its mean
ing. Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty

ON TRIAL

The state legislature of 1907 is now
in session and every member thereof
is on trial before the bar of public
opinion. The people demand and ex-
Dect honest, intelligent work from
each and every member of that body.
~ ta
Indivio,als who fail to acquit them
selves with credit and honor will be
held individually responsible for their
shortcomings, and the party that is
found wanting in integrity, courage
and ability will forfeit all claim to
future preferment.
For the first time, all parties seem
to be in accord regarding the legisla-
tion demanded by the people, and in
their state platforms expressed such
demands in terms that were not mis-
understood by the voters. The cam
paign was a novel one, the candidates
OF the respective parties contending
for the same things. the candidates of
each pleading their own superior hon.
esty and ability as the reason why
they should be. entrusted with power.
The republican party has a large
majority in both branche sof the legis.
allure and has, therefore. numerically
the power to redeem its every prom.

may be summarized in the words, stop
thief
1t seemed refreshing to find poor
old railroad ridden, and railroad plum
dered Nebraska at last awake and de-
manding that the heels of Hartman,
| Hill and Rockefeller be lifted from
| the neck of our commonwealth, and
| the hands Of the frenZied financiers of
| New York be taken out Of our pockets.
Many intelligent Nebraskans, who
for many years have felt keenly the
humiliation of seeing the agents and
hirelings of the frenZied financiers Of
the east dominate political conventions
and fill every Office in the state with
their lackeys, now ask themselves, can
| it be true that we have at last torn
ourselves from the clutches of these
robbers who have corrupted our poll
tics and plundered our people.
Yet, strange as it may seem, the
unanimity with which all political
parties and all aspirants for Office, in
the last election, declared for change
compels the belief that the hypnotic
spell that bound our people to the
chariot wheels of the robber barons
of Wall Street has at last been brok-
en-, and that the cry Of stop thief will
continue to be the watchword of the
voters until our state is redeemed.
Blind, indeed, must be the politician
who mistakes the temper of the peo
pie. And fortunate is he who, being
ambitious for political preferment,
grasps the true situation and credits
the people with the discernment to
distinguish between the true servant
and the pretender
The issues in Nebraska are made
up, and none need be in doubt regard
ing them. The people have ordered a
reduction in freight rates, such as will
give them at least an even chance
in the markets with the people of
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and other
states They have concluded not to
longer stand for rates that plunder
them of from fifteen to twenty mil
lions per year over what is being
paid in adjoining states for similar
services
No complaint is heard throughout
the land against the people of Iowa
for unjust treatment of the railroads
of that state. In fact the reports of
the railroads of the Haykeye state
show that they are enjoying a high
degree of prosperity. But what do
the reports of railroad earnings in
Nebraska last year show? They show
the startling fact that the net earn
ings OF all the lines in the state COM
bined amount to just about one-half
the actual cost Of the roads them
selves.
The Legislature of two years ago was
overwhelmingly republican, the total
fusion membership being only nine.
That legislature was as corrupt a
body as ever sat in the state house
at Lincoln. The political agents of the
| corporations were i'm absolute control

duty to insist upon such measures to
the utmost and exhaust every resource
at their command to secure the pass
age of their bills.
Being numerically unable to control
legislation, does not in any degree re-
licye the minority party, or any of the
members thereof from responsibility
for bad legislation or for the absence
of good legislation until after they
have exhausted their powers individu-
ally, as well as collectively, in efforts
to perfect the bills of the majority
through offering amendments to the
same, and in giving support to good
amendments that may be offered by
members of the majority party.
In case the majority party through
it's committees report bills for pass
age that are insufficient for the pur-
pose for which they are intended, or
contain vicious provisions designed to
defeat the object that is ostensibly
sought in the bill, then in that case,
the minority must be prepared to ex-
to such bills that, If adopted will
make the measures honest ones and
adequate to the professed' purposes of
the same.
In case the minority find a disposi-
tion among minority of the majority
party to give the people better legis-
lation than can be got through the
legislative committees, it then be-
comes their duty to cooperate with
such minority of the majority party
in the work of strengthening and
perfecting all bills reported and of
doing all in their power to bring forth
legislation that is honest and adequate
for the purposes intended. Neither

Details of Explosion at TouIon Make
 Death List 12O.
 TOULON, March 14-The efforts te recover the bodies of those killed by the explosion on board the French bat tleship Jena, which have been cons ducted with energy for twenty four hours, have not yet resulted in defi- nitely fixing the number of casualties. But after the last roll call there were still unaccounted for officers and 11O men, and there is little doubt that all these missing men perished.
 The roll call was applied only to the crew of the Jena, but as 1t is believed that some twelve or fifteen arsenal hands were engaged on board the bat tleship at the time of the explosion it is feared that the total number of dead will reach 120. In this belief the naval hospital here was instructed to prepare space for 120 bodies.
 Fifty more bodies have been recov- cred, but only twelve of them could be recognized. The remainder were form- less masses of charred flesh.

Lord Nevill Under Arrest at Londox
 Charged With Unique Swindle.

Lord Nevil Under Arrest at London
 Charged With Unique swindle.
 LONDON, March 14.-Lord William Beauchamp Nevill, fourth son of the Marquis of Abergavenny, Is again in the hands of the authorities and was re- manded in $25, 900 bail at police court on a charge of stealing jewelry by means of trick.
 Lord Nevill was sentenced to five years penal servitude at the Old Bai- ley on Feb. 15. 1898, for fraud in con nection with promissory note, the prosecutor being Captain Spender-C Clay, who in 1904 married Pauline, daughter of William Waldorf Astor In the pres ent case the prisoner is charged with stealing box containing S2.O0O worth of pearl and diamond jewelry by ex- changing it for similar box, apparent ly containing the jewels, but which when opened was found to contain two pieces of coal wrapped In tissue paper.
 According to the testimony, Lord Nevill pawned articles of jewelry at different times and subsequently, re- Quested the pawnbroker to bring the jewels to his house, with a new con tract covering all the transactions. After the contract had been signed the nobleman produced a green leather box, in which the pawnbroker placed the jewels. The box was then tied up and sealed. Lord Nevill then diverted the pawnbroker's attention to bureau in another part of the room.
 The man turned away for moment to examine the bureau, and Lord New. i'll shortly afterward joined his visit or and handed him box which the pawnbroker supposed still contained the jewelry. On examining it couple of months later. however, he found that 1t had been changed while his back was turned.
 Lord Neyill was released from Park. hurst prison on ticket of leave on Nov. 8. 1901, having spent most of his time during his Incarceration in wheeling a barrow on the prison farm. The suit which terminated in his conviction in 1898 created a great sensation in Eng land.
