pecrease in Railroad Fatalities.

The exhibit of decreased railway
fatalities given out by Slason Thomp-
son, we'll known as a railroad publicity
agent, commands far more attention
by reason of the admissions It con-
tains than from the figures set forth.
Citing the Interstate Commerce COM
mission report, Mr.. Thompson points
out there has beef a material decrease
in the number of fatalities due to rail-
road operation in 1908 as compared
with the preceding year. The fact
must be gratifying both to the public
and to the companies, because the loss
of life incident to the operation of
American railways is one of the most
regrettable features of our modern in
dustrialism. That the life toll is
higher in the United States than
abroad is due in part to conditions of
equipment and service beyond the
power of the railroads to control, but
also in large part to preventable
causes.
The admission which challenges at
tention in the statement referred to is
the following:
The conclusion is unavoidable that the
marked diminution of fatalities in 1908
was due almost entirely to the recession
in freight traffic, which took the strain
off every department of service and sub
stituted orderly observance of rules by
passengers and employees for their vlo-
lation in the .feverish rush of prosperity
that eliminated in October, 1908.
That the desire to produce results
under the stress of heavy traffic should
lead to the taking of chances is not
strange, but none the less to be con-
demned. Fatalities due to the ignor-
ing of rules formulated for purposes
of safety, by the operating employees
on account of pressure for results"
from those higher up make the man
agement directly responsible for this
waste of human life. 1t is an indict-
ment of the railroads from their own
court of their own methods.
The excessive sacrifice of human life
is the one great reproach of American
railroads, otherwise as a rule admir-
ably serving the public needs. The
confession that so much of 1t can be
avoided should arouse a public senti-
ment that will force the application of
! the remedy.

Good Advice to Bankers.

Congressman Walter l.. Smith has
given the Iowa bankers assembled in
convention in Council Bluffs some
wholesome advice on the postal saw
ings bank bill. He bluntly tells them
that postal savings banks are sure to
come; that they are a fixture in every
European country and that public SEN
timent is certain, ultimately, to force
the adoption of the plan in the United
States. The bankers are reminded
that they have been going on the sup
position that they alone are interested
and that because they do not want
postal savings banks they have been
so aligning themselves as to have
nothing to say regarding the scope and
methods of operation of these banks
when their establishment becomes
finally a fact. He advises them for
their own good, as well as for that
of the entire public, instead of blindly
opposing the inevitable to give the
lawmakers the benefit of their expert
ence as bankers in the framing of a
workable law.
SO far as the bankers themselves are
concerned there is no doubt that the
advice is wholesome, but whether the
public cares to take advice from ad-
mitted enemies of the plan is not so
clear. The experience of the bankers
undoubtedly would be a valuable as
set in the framing of such a law If 1t
were given in a disinterested way, but
it's tender at such a late day would
likely draw down suspicion. A policy
of hands off on the part of the bank
ers would expedite the desired legisla-
ton to which all political parties are
committed by platform declarations
on which the president and every
member of congress we're elected and
which the people expect to have re-
deemed with reasonable promptness

* Governor Crounse.

With the passing or Ex-Governor
Lorenzo Crounse Nebraska has lost
two former chief executives within a
period of six weeks. The term OF
Governor Crounse intercepted that of
the first democratic governor and that
of our first populist governor, and had
he not refused to stand for reelection
the whole recent political history of
Nebraska would, without question,
have been essentially different.
Ex-Governor Crounse vas honored
by elevation to many offices. He
served as supreme judge, member OF
congress, collector of internal revenue,
assistant secretary of the treasury and
state senator, as well as chief execu-
tive of the state. For all of these
positions he was indebted to the re-
publican party. His election as gov
ernor was brought about practically at
of the founder and editor of The Bee
in an earnest and successful effort to
keep Nebraska in the republican
column for the presidential election of
1892. Recognizing in Judge Crounse
the tactical candidate to meet the then
existing conditions, his nomination
was brought about by a few friends
and his election followed.
Since his retirement from the gov
ernorship Judge Crounse's participa-
ton in public affairs has been COM
paratively small and he dies peacefully
in the fullness of life at an age we'll
past the biblical three score and ten.

An important Rate Ruling.

The decision OF the Interstate Com
merce commission on the Kansas City
Omaha grain rate differential is i'm
portant in several particulars. inn
portant to Omaha in itself as keeping
open the door to the Omaha market,
and important in its broader sense by
r%eafirming the principle that distance
alone does not determine reasonable
ness of rates. The decision. IL any
thing. goes a little farther than pre-
vious decisions on this subject and
sets out more clearly what elements
must be considered in fixing rates
from various points in their relation
to each other. It goes TO the very
bottom of the object of rate regulation
as between localities by declaring that
the purpose of the law is to afford the
fullest competition both to the
primary purchase and the marketing
of produce and merchandise in order
that both producer, dealer and con-
sumer may meet on an equitable basis
in other words that the producer
may have more than n delivery
point and the more than n
primary market upon which to draw
without a rate barrier intervening.
That the enforcement of such a rule
is subject to many complications is
obvious and that contentious must
therefore continually arise in its APP
p~lication to particular facts is likewise
certain. In the long run both Kansas
City and Omaha must benefit from this
decision, though at present to Omaha,
as the newer market. it is the more
vital. The Omaha market, though an
infant compared with others, has at
tanned the rank of the fourth primary
receiving point for grain. While to
have crippled this market outlet by a
discriminating decision would have
been a serious blow to all concerned,
the overturning of the basic principle
involved would have meant chaos for
all our great trade centers.

ENFORCING THE SHERMAN LAW
Policy of n Department of Justice
Outlined.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Attorney General Wickersham's declara-
ton of intentions in his speech had neces-
sarily to be perfectly general. Therefore
1t will doubtless be interpreted variously,
according to the predisposition of the in
terpreters. But it is difficult to see how
he could put more emphatically his inten-
ton to enforce the law than when he an
nounced to the business interests OF the
country 'The price of peace is obedience
to the law" or when he declared that any
possible abandonment OF prosecutions begun
by the previous administration must not
be taken as any indication of any inten-
ton by this administration to abandon in
the slightest degree the vigorous, impartial
enforcement of the law, or to undo in any
degree the splendid work Of the last ad-
ministration."
The only sentence in the speech by which
the attorney general implies an intention
to use his discretion in regard to the APP
plication of the law was the following: IT
should be the last to authorize the institu-
ton of a criminal proceeding against men,
who, without intention to violate the law,
have nevertheless acted In technical con-
travention of an extreme and most drastic
construction OF that enactment Cthe Sher-
man law" It will be noted that this
declaration is strictly limited to criminal
! proceedings" Nothing is said Of civil pro-
/ ceedings. Indeed, in his whole speech
there is not a suggestion of an intention to
enforce the law civilly only in cases
where it ought to be enforced" Appar-
emily the law is to be enforced without
regard to personal views as to what it
ought to be. And the very declaration
that criminal proceedings will not be
brought in technical cases and under ex-
IRENE constructions OF the Sherman act
In which It would be unwise for a prose-
cutor to bring them, as they would surely
fail-suggests that II may be the plan of
the present administration to make a large
use of the criminal provisions of that
statute TO punish substantial lawbreaking,
And this impression is strengthened by Mr.,
Wickersham's remark that the principles
underlying the Sherman act are now so
well understood "as to Justify and compel
the government to use all or any of the
remedies given by law adequate to prevent
the accomplishment OF such purpose (com-
bination in restraint Of interstate trade
and to punish the attempt"

Fancy the arrogance contained in the ad-
vertisement: Our business, large as II will
be, will not injure the old, honorable and
carefully conducted concerns in our neigh
borhood. On the contrary, our business
will be OF inestimable value to them, for it
will attract the world to our district
What will these Americans do next?' the
writer dolefully concludes.
Sweden and Norway were fortunate in
having as a rulor the scholarly and peace
full King Oscar when the alliance of the
two nations came to an end in 1905. King
Oscar did not consider the compulsory re-
tention OF Norway worth the sacrifice war
would entail and permitted Norway to go
its way In peace. But the dissolution
created enmities and ill-will in Sweden.
particularly in official circles, which occa-
sionally crop out in a dlsquieting form. Re-
Gently Haakon VII, wishing to honor and
show good will toward Swedish diplomats
by bestowing decorations, sought the usual
permission from Gustavus. To the amaze
ment of the European courts where such
requests from one sovereign to another is
invariably granted, the Swedish king re-
piled that he wished no officer or citizen of
Sweden to wear a Norwegian decoration.

THE COLD SPARE BED.

New England Farmer.
when YOU have a friend to visit you. IL she

You will try to make her happy, and you'll

You'll tell her all the story of your varied

And everlastingly you'll pirate about your
own affairs;
But whatever else you do, don t for
mercy's sake be led
To put that helpless woman in the cold
spare bed!
You may tell her OF your troubles with
your numerous hired girls,
And what "she said" and what II said
till her understanding whirls;
You NAV talk Of the servant question till

And begin next morning on the same old
tiresome theme;
But whatever else you do, don't for
mercy's sake be led
To put that helpless woman In the cold

You may tell her Of your pains and aches
and what the doctor said
That time you came near dying with neu-
ralgia in your head;
OF how you poured down bitters, and drops

When you caught the dread malaria, ana

You may bore her, you may weary her, till
she wishes she were dead,
But for mercy's sake don't put her in the

Regulating Coffee Prices.

For a number of years the Brazilian
government has sought by artificial
means to enhance the profits of its
coffee growers by exercising control
over the marketing of the crop. 1t
has by law limited the amount to be
exported and the result has been that
growers have rushed their crop to
market at the earliest moment posi-
BILE in order to find a sale. For those
who were late 1t meant absolutely no
market and for those who sold it was
the natural result of a glutted market,
lower prices, defeating the very OBJ
ject the law sought to obtain.
Seeing the failure of this plan the
government now proposes another,
that of taking 10 per cen of every
shipment and absolutely destroying it.
Whatever might be the immediate re-
suit of this scheme. it would be GER
ject. Coffee is a product of world
wide consumption and must seek an
outlet into a worldwide market. It
can also be successfully grown in many
and extensive sections of the world.
Any effort on the part of the grower
in one section to fix permanently its
price by artificial means must neces-
sarily fail. Artificial barriers car gov
ern the price only where production is
absolutely limited. Where, as in the
case of coffee, the output must seek
a worldwide market in competition
with widely diversified production the
destruction of a portion of the crop
in Brazil could have only temporary
effect. This economic proposition is
so elementary and obvious 1t seems
strange the Brazilians prefer to ignore
It. So far as the Brazilians themselves
are concerned the economic waste OF
destroying 10 per cent of the product
Of their industry would be a piece oil
wanton waste altogether inexcusable
