Uniform Freight Classification.

Representatives of the railroads,
commercial bodies and the Interstate
Commerce commission are in session
at Chicago discussing n of the most
~far-reaching and important problems
of transportation - uniform classifi-
cation. Under existing freight tariffs
goods appear in one classification in
one section carrying a certain rate, but
are included in a different classified
ton in another district with a diff
ferent rate. This leads to collision
and uncertainty III computing freight
rates to the detriment particularly Of
shippers whose business does not war
rant employing an expert traffic man,
and even experts often overlook things
which entail loss upon the shipper.
Operating conditions and density of
traffic necessarily Justify differences
in rates in the various sections, but
there is no such good reason for differ
ences in classification If uniformity
could be established it would be a great
advantage to shippers.
Another matter fully as important
as uniformity, is stability Of classifi-
cation. Changing commodities from
one classification to another affords a
most subtle and effective way Of rails
ing or manipulating rates, Freight
bills often show an increase when the
railroad men point to the tariff sheets
to prove that there has been no in
crease. Classifications are also often
changed opportunely to give a favored
shipper an advantage, which is just as
pernicious as rebating or cutting rates.
The same stability should attach to
classification n the same checks be
provided against changes as now sur.
round changes in schedules.

VACCINATION FOR TYPHOID.
Importance Of Experiments of Army
Surgeons in Omaha.

Army surgeons at Fort Omaha announce
the successful use Of the typhoid serum
In the cases of three soldiers belonging to
the garrison. After incubation these
men have stood the severest tests Of ex-
posture to the typhoid bacillus.
On June II the three men were vacci-
mated with the serum, and within a week
developed mild cases OF typhoid, from
which they recovered quickly. A second
vaccination followed. with no trace of the
disease appearing, showing they had be-
come immunes, at least as far as the di-
rect Introduction OF the poison into their
blood was concerned.
So far the army doctors had proved
their case. 1t remained to be seen II the
three soldiers could withstand the test OF
drinking water containing typhoid bacilii.
A million germs were put into ordinary
water that had been allowed to stand in
an open vessel for three days. The men
drank a gallon Of this water and have
suffered no illness or inconvenience II
they had not been immune, the army sur
geons say, the soldiers would have been
stricken with fever in from three to five
days.
The value OF this discovery is evidently
great. 1t seems to place typhoid fever,
one OF the scourges of the world, in the
same class with smallpox, which, by the
use of vaccine. has become one OF our
rarest diseases. That the army should
develop this new serum is particularly
fitting? For the soldier more than any other
class is subjected TO the dangers Of impure
water supply. The DANCE from the enemy
In many campaigns has been slight com
pared with the ravsges caused by typhoid
in the ranks of armies.
The devotion Of the army surgeons and
the quiet courage OF the men in the ranks
who offered themselves for the test are
deserving Of the gratitude and admiration
OF every soldier and OF all mankind.

A Rnncn Game.

There Is just one Trims In the democratic
state platform that does not meet ouI
hearty approval and that Is the nonpartisar
judiciary plank. II reads well and argues
out well. but has no place In practical poll
tics and we venture the assertion that not
one Of the committee that drafted the
plank has the remotest idea Of voting foi
any but democrats for the place and are
confident that In case a party paper should
decide to support a republican its editor
would be branded by the fathers OF the
plank as traitors 10 the party. This editor
believes In picking out our beet democratic
attorneys and electing them to the supreme
bench II we can. No nonpartisan nonsense
In ours. n YOU please.-Howells Journal.
This from the Howells Journal, an
uncompromising democratic organ
whose expressions of disgust with the
"nonpartisan nonsense" we have once
before quoted.
There is not a democratic politician
in Nebraska with sense enough TO
come in out of the wet who does not
see through the "nonpartisan" bunco
game just as clearly as does the editor
VI Lub E1OWSlls JOuI udls 1hOnV uChhp
Gratis who beat the "nonpartisan"
drum loudest may possibly think they
will be able to fool someone. II they
had any idea that their democratic
candidates could get more votes by
boldly flying the democratic banner
they would be proclaiming their de-
mocracy from the housetops. But
they have persuaded themselves that
the democrats will vote for none but
democrats anyway, and that by mas
querading their democratic candidates
as "nonpartisans" they may get some
votes that they could not get without
the disguise.
That suggests another question. The
democratic state platform embraces a
plank proclaiming feaIty to the idea Of
"nonpartisanship,' and the democratic
oracle insists that platforms are bind
ing. II a democrat, like the editor Of
the Howells Journal for example, re-
fuses to foreswear his democracy and
pretend that he is a nonpartisan, does
he cease to be a democrat?

Burton for River improvement.

In an interview, Senator Burton OF
Ohio declares improvement OF the nav
ig6ble rivers and canal construction an
imperative necessity. While chairman
of the rivers and harbors committee
of the house Mr.. Burton was generally
charged with opposing waterway i'm
provements, but this charge was only
partially founded. AS chairman Of the
committee he was confronted by two
problems, one to keep appropriations
within bounds, and the other to COM
bat visionary and utopian schemes. In
these two struggles ne was doubtless
led to opposing measures which by
themselves might have merit and It is
significant that he now takes a broader
view when the restraint Of his chair
manship is removed.
Senator Burton is conceded to be
one Of the best posted men OF water
way subjects in public life. He Is not
moved by sentiment or ~prejudiced, but
his conclusions are thought out. For
this reason, his opinion that systema-
tic development OF river and canal
transportations Is necessary not only
to check railroad ~rapacity, but to af-
ford facilities which the railroads can
never give in times OF heavy traffic,
should carry great weight. He sees,
as have many others, that the time is
coming when heavy bulk freight must
seek the water routes on account Of
both c~heapness and inability of the
railroads to handle 10 expeditiouay.
II the river improvement movement
can divest itself Of some of the chin
erical schemes and its advocates will
be willing to start with reasonable APP
preparations, particularly in view OF
the treasury situation, there is good
reason to believe something substan-
tial can be accomplished.

Railroads and the Panic.

Practically all the railroad reports
issued within the last year contains a
demonstration that the panic of 1907
was not devoid of compromising bene-
fits. without exception they show a
decrease In expenses IN proportion to
the gross revenue and in only a few
instances is this the result of the cut.
ting employees wages. This is partic-
ularly true Of the stronger lines which
in spite of greatly decreased earnings
have neither cut wages nor reduced
dividends. The explanation is found
in the elimination Of waste and greater
economy of methods.
When traffic was at flood tide prev
ious to the panic extravagancies crept
into management n supplies were
wasted by employees without the checks
now imposed. A notable proof of this
came later in saving OF coal consump-
ployes and management on one OF our
leading roads. The same economy has
been pursued in other lines until the
saving in the aggregate runs into the
millions. In any large business m
ploying many men removed from direct
personal supervision there will always
be much waste, but In the case Of rail-
roads his has grown to be enormous
while managers were engrossed In the
larger and seemingly more important
problems of how to move the business
offered.
With the knowledge gained by
forced economies M the detailed rec
ords kept by railroads 1t is not likely
that the old conditions will ever re-
turn and the stockholders will be large
gamers without taking anything from
the income Of the man who tolls.
Neither is the stakeholder the only
one interested for every move which
cheapens the cost of transportation
directly or indirectly benefits the ship
per and consumer in the long run.

Enlarging District of Columbia.

Both In and out of congress an agi-
tation is going on to extend the bound
aries of the District Of Columbia. The
constitution provides for establishing
the seat Of government in a district
ten miles square and originally the dis
trict embraced such territory. In 1846
congress, thinking the portion south Of
the Potomac river was not needed for
federal purposes, receded 1t to the
state OF Virginia. There is a serious
question whether this act of congress
would stand the test of the courts, but
the consensus OF opinion is that recess
sion by Virginia would be the better
remedy even if the state were to be
recompensed for loss of taxable pro-
perty.
The reasons for extending the dis
trict are many, the most important
being that the national capital is grow
ing so rapidly that the south bank Of
the Potomac is needed for expansion
and It is desirable the city on the
south bank should grow up in har-
mony with that on the north. National
nEjde, which sustains the beautifica-
tion OF the capital, would suffer If an
eysore should grow up facing it
on the south. The federal gov
eminent has a large investment in
bridges owe the Potomac and much
other property, including the National
cemetery, on the south bank which
properly belongs within the district.
Every consideration from a national
standpoint favors the reacqulsition of
the territory in question and the only
objection is a sentimental one on the
part of the state OF Virginia, The
small strip is rich in historic associa-
tions and Virginians have not ceased
TO resent the segregation of West Vir-
ginia during war times, 1t is thought,
however. that these objections would
not be insuperabIe II the question were
tactfully handled. A committee Of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce
has charge Of the movement for en-
largement Of the district and will pro
badly present the proposal TO congress
at the regular session In December.

LAWS vEXATIOUs DELAYS.
substantial Ground for Criticism
Made by Justice

New York Press.
When Justice Brewer sticks to his old
text Of the laws delays he will not in
vlte such attacks as Senator Browns. As
a member Of the tribunal which may be
vitality concerned with the construction Of
income tax laws the able Justice can af-
ford to leave the questions Of legislation
on this subject to congress and the people
Of the states. Nothing Ia gained by his
intrusion upon the debate. whether he is
right or wrong In his views.
We are glad, for this reason no less
than for the sake of the cause Of reform
In our judicial procedure, that in his in
terview at Milwaukee, Justice Brewer re-
turned to his mutton and condemned as
outrageous the reverssls of Judgments on
technicalities when substantial justice has
been done. All the country agrees with
him, too, that the farce Of prolonging the
simple process Of picking a jury to many
weeks is one OF which an end ought to be
made. Fortunately the president in his
time on the bench has seen and felt the
evils OF this kind, and may be counted on
TO procure from congress some action
which will set the states a good example.
At the same time that Justice Brewer
was denouncing the delays OF the law
in the United States, the lord chief
Justice of England, sitting in Old Bailey,
was showing us how much better the
English deal with their criminals. The
trial, conviction, and sentence TO death
Of Dhingra, assassin of Lieutenant Colonel
Wylie, consumed altogether Just one hour.
In this country It is doubtful II the Jury
would have been impaneled inside of a
week. The trial would 90 on for a
month or two, and If the culprit went
to the death chair I'm two or three years
It would be because he lacked money to
employ counsel skilled in the hsirsplitting
that brings our system into contempt.

Kansas City Star.
The country can just take II from Mr.
BTyan-to fall into the vernacular-that
the democratic leader has no intention OF
deserving Lincoln as his place OF residence
In an interview in Chicago Mr.. Bryan put
to rest the report that he was planning "a
make his home in Texas.
Added to the convincing strength OF this
denial coming straight from Mr.. Bryan
himself, is what the politicians call the
logic of the situation. The country was
greatly surprised to read that Mr.. Bryan
contemplated the desertion of Nebraska for
Texas, because there appeared no reason
for such a move. Mr.. Bryan has become
thoroughly identified with Nebraska. Ir
the minds of the people he belongs there
and politicians do not pull up stakes" and
leave a constituency such as Mr.. Bryan has
created for himself in that state without
some potent reason which hey are willing
to share with the public.
In a political way Texas holds no ad
vantage for Mr.. Bryan which he does MOI
appear to enjoy In Nebraska. 1t is doubt,
full even il Texas with it's democratic ma.
jority always represented in the six figure
column. Is at heart in such close sympathy
with the things Mr.. Bryan stands for In
public life as Nebraska with its very sliGht
margin of votes between the two parties
The ease with which stories obtain circula,
lation passes comprehension. The report
OF Mr.. Bryan's intention TO desert Nebraska
bore every indication of absolute authen.

New York World: Mr.. Bryan heatedly
denies the report that he intends to move
to Texas, so We assume that the time Is
not yet ripe to nominate a southern demo-

find that Texas had a salubrious politi-
cal climate and a fertile political soil.
New York Tribune. Those who believe
that wits are sharpened and intellects
broadeued by a change Of environment
must regret that the story Of Mr.. Bryan's
intention to migrate to Texas was not well
founded. the more so that his remuneration

st. Louis Globe Democrat: As a presi-
Dental aspirant MIR. Bryan Is wise In re-

he would take himself out OF the list OF
nomination possibilities. In Nebraska he
has won some prestige. He has made that
state doubtful in national elections. While

Texas to name democratic candidates.
