THE oAPfrULATroE or FORAKER.

THE CAPfTULATION or FORAKER.
Lovers Of a nifty political fight must
be disappointed at the conduct of Jos
eph Benson Foraker, United States
senator from Ohio, who has thrown up
the sponge before the end Of the first
round. After years OF apparently spe-
cial training in the senate to make
him heir to the opposition to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policies. Senator For
aker was unanimously selected by anti
Roosevelt folks to lead the fight
against a continuance of the policies
to which the party has become pledged
through President Roosevelt's efforts
and leadership. The opportunity for
q test came in Ohio, where Senator
Foraker started his own presidential
boom and sought to deliver a blow to
the president by taking the Ohio dele
cation away from Secretary Taft, gem
orally accepted as representing the
presidents ideas in his candidacy for
the republican nomination next year
All the preliminaries were arranged
and indications pointed to a contest
that would result in the elimination
Of either Foraker or Taft from ma
tional politics. Then Foraker quit.
According to Ohio advices, Foraker's
capitulation is complete, II not humili-
ating. He has agreed to withdraw his
opposition to Taft's plans to secure the
republican delegation from Ohio in the
national convention and has asked
nothing in return, except that the Taft
supporters pursue a hands off" policy
in Foraker's fight for reelection to
the United States senate. The Tafties
insist they have refused to make any
promises or to go further than to in
innate an intention to confne their
activities to promoting the Taft presi-
Dental boom, leaving the state con-
test to be waged on its own issues. The
Taft element is against Foraker and
will stay against him, though it may
not be active in efforts to defeat his
reelection.
Regardless of the effect of the For
aker surrender on the booms of other
presidential aspirants, the country will
be tempted to withdraw faith in Fora
ker's reputation as a fighter. In this
case, his fire alarm has turned out to
be false alarm. He invited the
country to watch a fight and then
gave them an exhibition of foot racing
that makes him eligible to member
ship in the Cutters club.

FINANCIAL SUPREMACY.

the East.

the East
Holland in Philadelphia Press.
John w. Gates, speaking for puDlica-
ton a day or two ago. mentioned the
independence of what is still called "the
west" with respect to money or loan
able capital. Mr.. Gates spoke with en-
thusiasm of the magnificent deposits re-
ported by the banks of Chicago, approx
mating. as he said, the deposits Of New
York City banks. These deposits are
very large and they are relatively
matched by the splendid gains in de-
posits reported by banks Of other cities
of the west. The illustration would have
been better made perhaps had Mr.. Gates
spoken with more detail so that 1t would
be known whether he referred to the
gross deposits as reported by the Chi
cago banks. making comparison by the
associated banks of New York City
Here the reports made to the clearing
house each week tell only of let de-
posits. The understanding is that the
Chicago banks report gross deposits
Some of our banks would be able TO re-
port many millions more than rhe clear

OF gross instead of net deposits. It prob
ably would make a difference in the fg-
ures OF the City bank alone OF some
$50, 900 900 or $4,000, 900.
However, there is a better way II prov

ment Until within a year or two there

story of the splendid ebb and flow OF
funds, rejecting agricultural and COM
mercial and market conditions throughput
the United States. It served to swell
greatly the reports made by the New
York banks of their deposits from about
the middle OF March until approximately
the FIRST OF August.
AS recently as four years ago the banks
OF this city were able to report an in
crease Of deposits Of nearly $50. 900. 900
in the spring and early summer, not
including in that increase the gains from

MIKE 1T THnRnrnH.

The decision of the building inspec-
tor, in view of the recent building col
lapse, to make a new examination of
all the warehouses and buildings used
by jobbers and manufacturers in which
heavy weights are stored Is a move in
the right direction, provided the in
spection is comprehensive and thor
ough.
A great many plans for building en-
largements and extensions are passed
by the building inspectors Office on
the theory that the premises are to be
subjected only to the pressure of ordi-
nary uses, to be later devoted to some
purpose not originally contemplated.
While 1t is by no means established
that overlooking caused the building
referred to to fall, no unnecessary risk
should be taken by which repetition of
such accidents would be invited and in
all probability with much more calami-
tous results.
In this connection It is not out of
place to reiterate a demand several
times voiced by The Bee for more
strict regulation of the storage of ex-
plosives within the area crowded with
business blocks. Should by chance
such collapse occur in any building
used for the storage of high explosives
In large quantities the loss of life and
the wreck and ruin of property sure
to ensue would be incalculable. We
doubt If a city Of the size and preten-
sions of Omaha exists anywhere which
has been so lax and negligent in the
exercise of precautions for its own pro-
lection against accidents of this sort.
So we say, make the inspection of
buildings thorough and have it accom-
panied by a strict enforcement Of
reasonable rules against reconstruc-
ton calculated to weaken the supports,
against overlooking and also against
the storage of dangerous explosives
in the downtown business center.

BURroN's DEMANDS FoR HEFoRM

bOhIOR LEN ANOo HOh hhPOAus
Joseph Ralph Burton, one-lme SEN
ator of the United States from Kan
sas, and convicted of completely in a
get-rich-quiek scheme, has turned to
new role as publisher of a paper at
Abilene. entitled Home Rule"
in which he is calling attention to the
defects in our present system of gov
eminent and pointing the way to re-
form. His first point of attack is
the present system of distributing fed
eral patronage, the former senator con-
tending that the congressman who
goes to the White House to secure the
appointment of constituent, virtually
accepts bride and sells himself On
this point, Editor Burton says:
The present policy makes the president
OF the United States a bribe-giver and a
bribe-taker every day In the year, bribe-
giver and a bribe-taker involving greater
moral turpItude than II the bribery had
been accomplished with the use OF money
When a congressman sells his convictions
on legislation to the president for the
postoffiees OF his district, It Is a worse
crime than II he had bought them with
his own money outright. When a senator
takes the oath OF once at the White House
instead OF at the senate. both he and the
president commit a worse crime than II
they had trafficked their odacial preroga-
tives and powers in money.
The method of distributing federal
patronage has always been subject to
more OF less adverse criticism Of this
kind, but as yet no better scheme has
been devised. Each year, however,
shows a marked tendency toward re-
moval of federal ofices from party
politics, ard more general adoption
OF the merit system In making ap-
pointments and promotions. The en-
tire consular service has been put on a
civil service basis and more than 90
per cent of the federal employees are
in the classified service. Fourth class
postmasters, whose appointment Bur
ton considers a species of bribery, now
serve during good behavior and salts
factory servite and are no longer sub
jeet TO removal at the expiration OF
their four-year terms There Is less

Apropos the recent purchase by the Cana

how plentiful these animals were within the
memory Of many men now living. II Is the

divert the course OF great herd Of bufralo
that was bearing down towards a camp OF
soldiers with a force that threatened To
wheIm It. At least one ofhcer is alive
who saw these shots fired, and he describes
the herd as literally reaching as far as the
eve could see. It was long time IN passing

Springfield Republican.
Southern railroads, in consequence of the
interstaB commissions ruling that party
rates must be open to the public as well as
to theatrical companies have concluded to
withdraw such rates altogether. The roads of
the Western Passenger association, how
ever, have decided to ignore the commits
sion's ruling and let the question go to
the courts for determination. They hold
that the commissions Interpretation Of the
law is Incorrect. This is a challenge as 20
its power which the commission can hardly
AFFORD to pass over. Under the new law,
when the commission has made an order
or ruling, it is incumbent upon the roads
affected to obey the same until 1t has been
suspended by a court of competent Juris-
diction. They should therefore take this
order to the courts before undertaking TO
ignore or dlsobey IT, But the old habit OF
swapping their fingers at the commission
has become 50 well settled with the rail-
roads that II is not wonderful If they can
not readily get over it. Indulgence of it,
however, is llEely to prove much more
costly now than formerly.

ANltNkN ANNNNNA-AANAhAu
Commissioner NELL Of the bureau OF labor
has been mapping out the plan Of work for
the Investigation OF the labor OF women
and children for which congress has made
an appropriation Of $4,000. Before long he
will send few men into the field 70 make
experimental researches with a view to de-
termining just what can best be accom-
plished by the bigger force OF probably 150
men which will be sent out later on. BY
next winter he expects to have all his
material In hand and soon after that he
expects to be able to make a fun report
to congress.
The investigation will be broader than
any heretofore made. since Il will not be
confined to strictly Industrial facts, but
will seek 70 determine the effects OF labor
on the physical, intellectual and moral life
Of women and children. For instance, ex-
aminations will be made Of the records Of
houses OF correction and OF police courts
to find how many children appearing in
them have been workers and what. II any,
connection can be traced between their
work and their delinquency. The facts
about children will be sought first, and
then those about women.
1t is not thought possible to make as
complete an investigation as is desirable
with the money appropriated, and conse-
quently the work will be confined to such
helds as can be finished with the appro-
priation. II then further work Is neces-
sary' an additional grant Of funds will be
asked.
The facts gathered by the department
will be available for the use not only OF
congress but also Of state legislatures II,
however, state legislatures continue TO fol-
low as narrow and selfish policy as Is
being followed, for instance, this year by
the Illinois legislature with reference to
labor measures OF all kinds then federal
legislation will become inevitable The
question as TO whether such legislation
properly belongs in the field Of the federal
government will sink to a purely academic
question before the pressing need for reg
ulation, II the states do not act as they
should.

QUESTION OF LEGAL ETHICS.
Lofty Ideals Versus Common Practice
of the Profession.



Justice Brewer Of the United States su-
preme court is something Of an expert on
legal ethics. 1t Is not therefore a rash and
unhallowed lay opinion. invading the sacred
precincts of the law, which criticises the
practice OF eminent lawyers In permitting
themselves to be retained by trusts and
combinations to show how they may get
around the laws against restraint of trade
It is a Judge OF the highest court in the
land who says that the honesty OF such
counsel is "a negative honesty" and ap-
peals 20 every lawyer to have the courage
TO say 10 his client IT may be legal but
1t is dishonest. and will have nothing to
do with IT, 4"
The appeal will go unanswered until either
''the higher standard OF professional ethics
which Justice Brewer invokes or direct pen
alties imposed by statute make It hazard
Gus for lawyers to advise rich clients how
to get around the letter Of the law to defeat
its intent This is inevitable because Of
natural operation evidenced in the spread
OF INSCRIPTIONS trust and combination
methods.
But OF the need OF Justice Brewers call
for higher standard there was a striking
evidence almost contemporary with HIS ut
terance. It Is presumable that a jurist
who has been distinguished by appointment
and service on the United States district
bench Is. constructively at least, lawyer
OF high standing, versed in the ethics OF
the profession and OF a character that
should insure his living up TO those rules
OF conduct. Yet only last week a lawyer
who had occupied the United States bench
In a neighboring district made or permit
ted the public announcement that he had
organized the means By which monopoly
OF a food staple can be maintained with
out coming into conflict with the United
States statute. though violating both its
intent and that OF TIE principle Of common
law, antedating the existence OF this ma
toni
We may well doubt the law proof armor
OF the contemplated monopoly in beans.
But when a lawyer Of that standing de-
clares mat he has been giving his legal
abilities 10 the attainment Of that purpose
II shows either that the practice which
Justice Brewer opposes is well rotted IN
the profession or that an unfavorable ex-
emplar OF professional ethics was IN past
years appointed 10 the United States district
bench.

Preparing for Trouble in Cuba.

INV NWIN TINVTIIIIE T W0Na
II is not generally known, perhaps, that
the United States army Is Just completing
map of every inch of the island Of Cuba
for use In case II ever becomes necessary
for the American government to occupy the
country by force. The engineer corps Of
the army has been devoting most OF it's
attention to the undertaking since last fall,
two Of the three battalions having been az
work on the island in the last half of that
period. Not a nook or co rner, not travelled
road or an obscure trail has escaped the
mapmakers. The strange part of it is that
the Cuban government has aided the work
In every way 1t could, giving orders to the
rural guards and local officers in far-away
towns to facilitate the engineers opera
lions whenever possible.
