NEW soAPEGoAr CHOSEN.

In personal interviews and through
their well-trained publicity bureaus
prominent railroad managers are en-
deavoring to convince the public that
the Steel trust is the real culprit that
must shoulder responsibility and CEN
sure for the appalling increase in ia
tai wrecks on American railroads. At
tempts to prove that the wreck epi-
demic was due to the neglect Of OPP
Grating managers, the Incompetence
of trainmen or the failure Of railroad
managers to equip their lines with
safety devices have all been answered
by the railroad managers. who have
succeeded in shifting the responsibility
from time to time, as emergency and
conditions demanded. until they now
profess to have It firmly attached to
the Steel trust and charged to a desire
OF the trust to make profits at the ex-
pense OF safety of the travelling public.
The new scapegoat was formally In
troduced at the recent meeting OF the
American Railway association in Chi
eaeo by reports alleging that investi-
cations showed defective rails to have
been the cause Of many recent acct
dents. A wink is as good as nod TO
blind horse or a section foreman, and
since the Chicago meeting the general
managers have been flooded with re-
ports showing that practically all the
wrecks have been due TO broken rails.
Since then the publicity bureau has
been heralding as the real reason for
railroad wrecks the oupldity Of the
Steel trust in placing quantity of out
lput above quality. II Is asserted that
the Steel trust has refused TO comply
with the specifications furnished by
railroad managers for steel rails, but
has rolled rails according TO its own
epeeihcations and has, refused 70 give
the fve-year guarantee furnished in
the old days when competition existed
in the steel business. One big eastern
railway has carried the advocacy OF
the new plan to the point of making
its own specifications for $4,000 tons
Of steel rails recently ordered and an
pounces las refusal 10 accent the rails
unless It's terms are followed by the
/ trust.
This responsibility-shirking effort OF
the railroad managers Is foredoomed
20 failure. The public appreciates the
close relations existing between the
railroad companies and the Steel trnsi
and understands that the trust Is dom,

FIRE LOSSES AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Figures from Insurance Sources and
Individual Calculations.

Individual Calculations.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The actual loss of property in this city
by the fire of last April can never be
known. Probably the estimates Of the in
surance companies are the best which we
shall ever have, and the president OF the
National Board of Underwriters places
them at $S5OOoO,OOO on which there was in
surance to the amount of S1755Os, $50. 1t
may be that President Burchell meant that
the sum named was what was actually
paid. A great deal Of insurance
was compromised and a compare
lively small amount was repudiated
and lie now in litigation in Germany. Many
OF the companies involved were hit so hard
that they were compelled to reinsure heav-
fly, so that the total loss to the companies
directly involved was stated to be between
1920 100000 and S225,O00,000 The insurance
business, however. as a whole, is believed
to have been entirely rehabilitateds by new
capital and to be on as sound footing as
ever, with higher rates generally prevail
ing to create a confegration reserve.
The estimate of the insurers would make
the actual net loss to the people Of this
city, after collecting insurance. at least
S175OOO,OO0. II was doubtless far more than
that. Insurance estimates OF values are
always very conservative. The machinery
and stocks Of going concerns have value
very largely in excess Of any that would
Se placed upon them by insurance APP
praisers, or by the public assessors for tax
alton. The actual total net loss can only
be guessed at but Il Is presumably some
where between the $175OOO,oOO estimated by
the insurance men and the $3O0OOoOOO usu-
ally mentioned in conversation. At any
rate whatever the amount, It was sufficient
to put an end, for the present to the COM
plete financial independence which this
city has hitherto possessed and place It
where the supply OF the demands of its
citizens for financial accommodation will be
more dependent than we have hitherto
dreamed of on the general condition Of the
American money market, and. the conf
dence OF outsiders in the future Of the city.

PEARYs Pleas FoR PENNIES.

Tho school Oficieis Of Oregon appear
to enjoy the questionable distinction
Of being first to respond to Commander
Robert r. Peary's plan for promoting
his next North Pole expedition at the
expense Of the school children OF the
United States. The Oregon oficials
have designated date to be known as
''Peary day." when each pupil will be
asked to contribute from to 5 cents
to the $4,000 needed by Peary to
complete his equipment for his next
dash to the Arctic circle. The appeal
Of the officials is accompanied by the
statement that Oregon school children
should raise $4,000 toward making up
the necessary amount.
No justification can be shown for
asking the school children of Oregon
or any other state TO turn mendicants
to collect money for Peary's North
Pole trip. for exterminating the boil
weevil in the southern cotton fields
OF for any other such purpose. In the
first place, the school children have
nothing to gain by the success or fall
ure Of the proposed exploration. So
far as they are concerned their geogra-
phies tell them enough for all practical
purpose about the climate. fora and
fauna and other conditions in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the pole. If
more specific data is needed the funds
to secure them should be furnished by
some Of the colleges OF learned socie-
ties that have been literally endowed
by donations to be devoted to scientific
research, or should be supplied by
multimillionaires who have hobbies
along such lines II the needed
money is not forthcoming from such
sources the country will be able to
worry along in ignorance for a while
longer just as It has done since the
pole was located as a part OF the first
six days work, the record OF which is
found in the first chapter of the Great
Book.
The principal objection to the. pres
ent scheme is the attempted use of the
country's school children as solicitors
for the fund. No school board or
corps of teachers has any right to au-
thorize, permit or request school chill
dren TO raise money In response to
such appeals.

ANOTHER GRAFT 10 BE STOPPED

The report of the county auditor
shows up in true dimensions the size
Nof another graft in the sherlff's Office
which should be stopped. This graft
arises from the use of the Douglas
county jail as a place of custody for
federal prisoners and for prisoners
sent here for safe keeping from Sarpy
county.
1t has been known that the sheriff
was deriving a snug revenue from
these two sources, but the exact ex-
tent of this revenue has for reasons
personal to himself been carefully COW
cred up. The payments for care and
keep of Sarpy county prisoners in the
Douglas county jail prove to have
made an aggregate of 1887 for last
year and for the past three years to
have averaged over 5000. The pay
ments for care and keep of federal
prisoners for 1906 are s1,59S and for
the preceding year S2,518, and pre-
sumably have averaged not less than
$500 for several years. All of this
money has been pocketed by the sher-
iii as perquisites of office and no part
Of 1t paid into the county treasury.
In this connection it should be re-
membered that the county not only
furnishes the jail building, heating,
lighting and equipment, but also pays
for the jailers, guards and matrons by
salary allowance out of the fees earned
in Douglas county, so that the only
expense to be Offset against this extra
income is the cost of food and clothing
for the inmates from outside. 1t is
also safe to assume that IL the sheriff
were allowed to retain for these pris-
cners the same, amount which he is
paid for feeding Douglas county pris-
oners he would still be making fat
profit on the business.
Every cent which the present sheriff
and his predecessors have collected
and retained from Sarpy county or
from the federal government in excess
of the amount allowed by the county
board for Jail feeding properly belongs
to the taxpayers Of Douglas county
and should have been paid into the
county treasury. On the Sarpy county
prisoners, for which 81 day is paid,
this would amount to go cents per
prisoner per day, and on the federal
prisoners, for which So cents per pris-
oner per day is paid, it would amount
TO 15 cents for each jail day, and in
the aggregate to many thousand dol
lars.
The county board should make a de-
mand on the sheriff for the repayment
of this money and follow up a refusal
by suits to recover 1t. There is no
more reason why the sheriff should
pocket money paid for keeping outside
prisoners in the county jail than the
superintendent of the county hospital
should pocket money exacted for keep
ing patients coming from outside coun-
ties.

WEATHER PROPHETS OF CACTUS.

Denver Republican.
We are peaceful here in Cactus, and we do
not kick or carp
But we've had heap of trouble with a
scienced weather sharp;
He was sent here by the COMMENT, with
his charts and wind machine
And a diagram fer tellin' when the rain IL
wet or mean.
We'd depended on INK Peters 10 these
long and many years
Fer a-prophesyin' weather-so when this
here sharp appears
And some competition enters. we rules
thus in the case:
The prophet who comes nearest 10 the one
who holds the place.
Well, the first day Uncle Sans man says
twas sure to rain a bit.
And old Uncle Pete says sunshine-and
Pete's guessin' made the hit;
But the second day Pete lost out which
made the score a tie.
And twas science gainst the goosebono
when the third guess drew nigh.
The weather sharp was anxious, ana ne
hggered mighty clost,
And he didn't sneer at Uncle, nor he didn't
laugh nor boast;
He Euesses fair and warmer, and old Uncle
says twill blow
And sure enough a norther put US two
feet Under snow.
So we chased the man. of science 'crost
the prairie forty mile.
His wind machine we're usin' for q
gamblin wheel awhile;
And our old time weather prophet is the
sort that seems to win
Cause the weRther's been delightful now

LhBoR CONDITIONS rPANsMA.

Steam shovel engineers at Panama
striking for $500 month instead Of
the $3.50 they are now receiving are
not in position to command much SYM
patty from their fellow workmen at
home. The striking engineers make
no complaint against conditions on the
isthmus, so far as recorded, but simply
ask for an increase over what appears
to be very liberal pay for their serv-
ices.
The demands of skilled workmen
on the isthmus we're presented to Sec
rotary Taft, at the time of his recent
visit to Panama, and while he refused
to grant any requests for increased
pay, except in specific instances, he
made concessions designed to accom-
plish a similar end. He decided that
each employe should have thirty day
leave of absence each year, with pay,
and that married men should have
houses furnished them rent free, Con-
elusive evidence has been offered to
show that sanitary conditions on the
isthmus are almost perfect and that
the death rate among employees is less
than that in most American cities. I'm
der such conditions, with steady en-
ployment at wages fully double those
received by workmen similarly en-
ployed in the states, 1t would appear
that the steam shovel workers cannot
have much cause for their strike.
