THoRouGHFARE Is ONE STREET
New York Avenue Included in Order
Governing Pennsylvania Avenue.

Several weeks ago the Commissioners
ordered that Pennsylvania avenue from
9th to 10th streets be considered as one
street instead of two streets. The change
requires all vehicles going eastward to
drive on the south side Of the street and
those going westward to drive on the
north side.
The Commissioners issued an order yes
terday which has similar effect on New
York avenue from 9th to 18th streets.
They have also authorized the superin-
tendent Of police to increase his detail of
policemen on these two thoroughfares for
the purpose Of educating the drivers and
others in the new orders.

GET OFF THE ROAD.
Suggestion for Pedestrian
from an Auto Horn.


From a we'll known automobile publica-
ton we Gull this scintillating gem:
pedestrians actually stu walk in the
most lighthearted manner along and across
the road as they probably did in the days
of Noah, unheeding the potential dangers
which may be abroad and most OF the acct
dents in which motorists are concerned are
due to the carelessness OF the other users
Of the road
wouldn't that jar you? Pedestrians ac-
tually still walk in the most light-hearted
manner along and across the roads" The
rude things! How dare they? Do they not
know that the roads are no longer places
for them to display "light-heartedness" or
Joy? Can they not understand that the
public highways are sanctioned 70 the use
of automobile scorchers and expert dodgers
only these days? Is the modestJand shrink
ing breaker Of speed limits and road regu-
lations TO be compelled to drum these
things into the hard-headed rabble indefin-
itely?
Most Of the accidents in which motorists
are concerned are due 10 the carelessness
of the other Nlsers of the roads" VIII the
other users Of the roads dispute that? We
Imagine not. They have grown meek; they
simply ask a fraction Of a second in which
to jump, and II they get knocked seventeen
ways for Sunday they will probably not
argue about it. Most OF the accidents"
understand, are their ~fault-these ''other
users of the roads, Not some Of the ac-
cidents, or "a few OF the accidents mind
you-"most OF them" Evidently, modesty
alone kept this esteemed automobile con-
temporary from saying "sr" OF them!
The best thing, Of course, for these ''other
users Of the roads" 10 do is 10 get off the
earth entirely! The idea that they own an
interest in the highways and byways has
been somewhat shattered-the notion that
they may walk along I'm the most light
hearted manner actually permitting them
selves to Whit the fresh air, for instance,
with no disturbing thought to render un-
happy the whiting IL ancient nonsense
that has been Telesated to the dead past

EMPLOYEES LIABILITY ACT.

BY a law passed at the last session
of congress, some 5000 federal en-
ployes come within the provisions of a
measure which entities them to com-
pensation for injuries sustained while
in the government service. The law
provides for indemnifying either the
person who suffers injury, not result
ing from his own carelessness, in the
course of his employment or his de-
pendent family in case such injury re-
suits in death.
A circular issued by the Department
of Commerce and Labor emphasizes
the great Importance of the Measure
in the domain of labor legislation. The
new law applies to persons employed
by the government as artisans or la
borers in the following services: Ar
senals, navy yards, river and harbor
construction, fertilization construction,
hazardous employment in the reclama-
ton service, hazardous employment
under the Isthmian Canal commission
and in government manufacturing es-
adjustments. Compensation will be
paid under this law only for such in
juries to an employee as may occur in
the course of his employment and
cause inability to pursue his employ
ment for more than fifteen days. Com
pensation is not paid If the injury is
due to the negligence or misconduct
of the employee injured. The COM
pensation consists in continuing during
the period of disability, but not over
one year, the same pay received
at the time of injury. If the employe
is killed, or dies from the effects of
his injury, leaving a widow or chill
dren under 16 years of age, or de-
pendent parents, the same compensa-
ton will be paid to these dependent
relatives for the period of n year.
This law was enacted largely
through the urgence of President
Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and the ad-
ministration leaders that the govern
ment could not well insist upon inter-
state railroads paying indemnity for
injuries sustained by their employees
unless similar provision were made for
employees of the government.
In setting this example a great step
forward in the direction of sympathetic
vet legitimate labor legislation has
been taken.

NOT ON THE SQUARE.

Governor Sheldon's refusal OF the
demand that he inflict a puritanical
Sunday upon Omaha will meet the ap-
prevail Of ninety-nine out of every one
hundred people. In fact, the demand
made upon him in the name Of four
members of the Ministerial union does
not represent the sentiment of the com
munity in any way. and the governor
would have been justified in returning
q negative answer IN the n ground
of bad faith evidenced on its very face.
The p%uritanical Sunday junta asked
the governor to direct the attorney gen.
eral to bring suit for a writ of custer
against the Board of Fire and Police
Commissioners of Omaha because of
failure to enforce the Sunday laws up
to the hilt. The enforcement of the
Sunday laws in Omaha does no de-
volve upon the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners alone, hut as
much and more upon the prosecuting
officers of the city and county.
It Just happens that the governor
who appoints the police commissioners
is a republican, while both of the city
and county prosecutors are democrats.
If the puritanical Sunday junta were
on the square, why should they leave
the democratic city prosecutor and the
democratic county attorney unmolested
and go past them in order to get after
the republican governor and his APP
pointees?
The p%uritanical Sunday junta seems
to be able to get a grand jury when
ever they want it, but have so far
been unable to persuade a grand jury
to indict any one for Sunday law in
fraction. Another grand jury is COM
ing, which, we have no doubt, will be
pleased to listen to them.

informed that the United States will
unreservedly support Great Britain in
demanding that the abuses in connec-
ton with the administration of the
Congo country shall be reformed with
a minimum of delay and a maximum
of thoroughness." The note has had
its effect in compelling Leopold to
agree to the treaty, now pending in the
Belgian Parliament, by which he cedes
the Congo country to Belgium and
places its administration in the hands
of a body to be selected by the Psrlia-
ment. The old monarch is anxious to
avoid a recalling of the international
conference, which would result in a
complete exposure of his d~isgraceful
Congo rule. With the United States
and Great Britain acting together, thus
assuring the concurrence of the other
powers to the original agreement, re-
form in the Congo is fairly assured.

James ~Schoolcraft Sherman. the re-
publican nominee for vice president, in
his speech Of acceptance at Utica
cruelty and ruthlessly cuts every prop
from under the democratic charge that
the Chicago ticket was in the nature
of a compromise by which the sup
porters Of the Roosevelt policies made
liberal concessions to the so-called re-
dictionaries. Democratic editors and
spellbinders have been finding real Joy
in spreading the report that Mr.. Sher-
man Is out of sympathy with the pres
ent administration and certain. If
elected. to be an obstacle in the way
of Mr.. Taft's promised continuance of
the Roosevelt policies. Mr.. Sherman
answers with this unreserved and un-
equivocal statement of his position:
My acceptance could not be made with
honor unless I were in full accord with
the declaration Of principles adopted by
the convention. Not only am l in full
and complete accord with my party's plat
form. but ] endorse every word OF the
statement made by Mr.. Taft in his ad-
dress of acceptance when notified of his
nomination as the republican candidate
for president. That speech fully and
Complementary discusses the issues Of
his campaign as presented by the plat
forms Of the two great parties, so that
IT is appropriate that my statement should
be short. Those not convinced by the
presentation of Mr.. Taft I could not hope
to persuade. It is, however, in conformity
with oYafppn chat / rafar af ippq eft briefly
to some Of the important issues Of the
campaign.
The Chicago platform contains an
emphatic and specific endorsement of
the Roosevelt policies. MI. Sherman
accepts that platform and goes fur
Their by declaring himself in full and
hearty accord with every statement
made by Mr.. Taft in his acceptance
speech. In terms unmistakable and
impossible of misinterpretation, Mr..
Sherman declares his hearty approval
of the platform plank demanding a
tariff revision and providing for an ex-
ira session of congress next March
for that purpose. He pledges his best
effort to the redemption of every plat
form promise, urging a readjustment
of the tariff schedules upon the broad
principles of protection for all Amer
lean interests, alike for labor, for cap
ital, for producers and consumers.
Carrying as it does hearty assur-
ances of his loyal and enthusiastic
espousal OF the policies to which Mr..
Taft and the republican party are
pledged, Mr.. Sherman's speech will go
far toward discouraging democratic
hopes of republican differences and
disaffection.

FIRST LEA OF LIGHT.

A CLEAN of light has at last come out
of the Omaha Water board in the form
of a resolution inviting representatives
of the Omaha Water company to a con
ference to discuss the question of rates
and reciprocal rights and obligations
as they may be affected by the termina-
ton of the hydrant rental contract,
which expires September 4 next.
Up to this time the Water board
has proceeded on the theory that the
Water company has no rights which
the city is bound to respect and has
turned a deaf ear, not only to all COM
m%unications from the Water company,
but also to all outside suggestions that
standpoint, to try to accomplish some
tangible results than to pile up m
lawsuit on top of another for the bene-
fit of the high-priced lawyers.
The Water board finds itself in the
peculiar predicament of having been
officially advised by its legal guardians
that the Water company must cease to
occupy the streets and stop doing bust
ness after September T., and must also
be compelled to reduce its charges on
water supplied after that date. Mani
testify the Water board will have to
back up on one proposition CT the
other.
1t is too much to expect the proposed
conference to unravel the tangled
skein of water works litigation into
which the city and the Water company
have been wound. There is, however,
a possibility of encouragement from
the fact that the Water board has at
last condescended to talk to representa-
tives of the Water company outside of
the court room and no longer resents
the intimation that getting together
may be a better plan than pulling
apart.
