Railroad Legislation.

There is evident in the attitude Of
congress in It's passage of the two bills
concerning railroads a disposition to
be fair toward those corporations. The
easu giving the Interstate Com
merce commission power to compel
uniform equipment is only a develop
ment of the old safety appliance law,
whose enforcement was so long de-
layed through the antagonistic atti-
tude of some of the roads.
1t is i~nconceivable that so many
lines should be hostile to measures de-
signed to safeguard human life, as was
attested in the governments expert
ence with the safety appliance law and
the readiness of a few Of the standard
lines, as in the case of the Union Pa
cifc, to comply with all modern re-
quirements, is all the more commend
able in contrast with this general hos
tility. The courts have sustained the
safety appliance law after a bitter
fight, and it must be apparent to all
that the additional legislation in that
direction is for the public welfare.
In the Esch bill, designed to protect
the railroads from having used against
them as evidence in damage suits the
reports that they should be required to
make to the commission concerning
accidents, a liberal intent on the part
OF the government is again shown.
The railroads are entitled to the same
right as individuals in the matter of
giving discriminating evidence, and the
Esch bill is meant merely to encourage
officials to aid the commission in the
investigation Of accidents as a means
for intimate study for future precau-
ton. The closer the harmony that
exists between railroads and commits
sion, the better results the commission
is able to accomplish.

Fame for the Farmers.

Men prominent In western AFFAIRS
took a day on recently to join in a
tribute 20 agriculture at the opening
Of the farmers hall Of fame at the
University OF Illinois. This was more
than a personal recognition of the in
ventor Of the reaper, Cyrus Hall Nc
Cormick, whose portrait was unveiled
in connection with the dedication of
the institution; 1t was an acknowl-
edgement OF the supremacy Of the
tiller OF the soil.
Thus does nan get back to first
principles. The original Of his species,
according to holy writ, was a gardener,
and none the less a gentleman for that,
although he did try to blame the
woman for the consequences OF the APP
pie crop. The early American farmer
suffered the hardships Of the pioneer;
but with the auxilaries of modern in
ventiou and the development of the
great west agriculture struck its
stride, and today 1t is the backbone of
the nation and the mainstay OF the
world.
Secretary Wilson's annual report Is
still fresh in the public mind with its
records Of bumper production and
record prices, and this is not the final
crest; II is the foothill toward the
heights. 1t is fitting that the beginning
Of the farmers hall of fame should
be c%oincident with the sounding of
the general keynote for even greater
possibilities of farming that lie just
ahead. The age of agriculture is here,
and it is a significant sign of the times
that laurels are being wreathed upon
the brows of the sons of earth rather
than as in the days of old upon the
classic foreheads of romantic bards.

Marines and Nicaragua.

The inconvenience of red tape is ex-
emplifed again in the raising of the
point that the restrictions concerning
the marines might embarrass the ad-
ministration in its efforts to restore
order in Nicaragua. Congress I'M
doubtedly had good a for insist
ing that the marines be restored to
service on the battleships, from which
they had been taken for shore duty,
and there will be reluctance on the
part of the representatives to amend
the provision that was made so firm
a part Of the texture of the naval ap-
preparations bill of the last session.
1t would be unfortunate, however,
If any such technicality we're permitted
to interfere with the campaign for the
protection of American interests
against the Vaccinations of Zelaya,
and 1t is to be hoped that the State and
Navy departments may find a way for
liberal Interpretation of the r~estric-
lions that have been imposed, so that
the marines now on duty in Mica
raguan waters may not be hampered
from rendering such continuous duty
ashore as the situation may require.

MIR. BRYAN AND PROHIBIT1ON.
Latest Explanation of His Attitude on
h Temperance Question.
washington Star.


To correct the story In circulation that
he is a prohibitionist, and would introduce
that issue into the next presidential cam.
paign, Mr.. Bryan in his newspaper ex.
plains his attitude on the temperance
question. He has not declared for prohibi.
ton, and does not now declare against it,
He simply says he does not expect to see
prohibition become and effect
i've in national politics in his day.
But Mr.. Bryan wants to see local option
wherever 1t prevails become the more Sc
cure by protecting it against outside inter.
ference. He would penalize the shipping OF
spirits into territory which the citizens
have voted dry, and would prohibit the is.
suance by the national government OF
liquor licenses there.
This pronouncement will be well received
in temperance circles. and increase MI
Bryan's hold on those democrats who have
made or are making the temperance cause
paramount in their localities. He states
the case as they do. He would go as far
as they in that matter. And that feature
of the case is at present more important
than the larger feature of prohibition. For
the point at present is to hold territory al
ready secured against attack from the out
side. If the d~istillers and brewers can
flood dry territory from without it's hor-
ders, local option can in a large measure
be defeated in effect.
And, of course, the more popular this
deliverapce makes Mr.. Bryan in temper
ance circles, the more unpopular it will
make him in distllling and brewing and
saloon circles. 1t brings him, too, into
sharp antagonism with the three men most
frequently mentioned in connection with
his place as leader Of the democratic party
Governor Harmon of Ohio, and Governor
Marshall and Senator Shively of Indiana.
All three OF these men are in office
largely by the favor Of the distilling and
brewing interests. Mr.. Bryan fell outside
the breastworks. Ohio and Indiana voted
for Taft. The national issues did not ap-
peal to the liquor issues. So in the one
state they elected a democratic governor,
and in the other a democratic governor and
a democratic legislature with a United
States senatorship within its grasp. Mr..
Shlvely was chosen senator, and John w
Kern, Mr.. Bryan's associate on the demo-

PERSONAL NOTES.

President Taft surely means to use up
that $500 travelling expense account.
A Trenton doctor has had to pay 5000
for breaking the jaw of a cabman. There
is more money 10 the profession in setting
boLes.
Miss Isador4 Duncan, the dancer, has
left this country in disgust, saying that she
will never return because the American
people who nave money do not appreciate
art of the barefoot variety.
Secretary Nagal Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor reports that during
the past year 9A, 2S5 aliens came into this
country and brought with them In cold
cash 81, SSl SOS. This latter circumstance Is
usually overlooked by those who would
make the immigration laws more stringent.
After a New York woman had served a
large part of a years sentence Of imprison-
ment a higher than the trial court decided
that she had not committed a crime. The
rest Of the sentence has been annulled, but
that this leaves the woman in high good
humor and with an exalted opinion Of
justice is seriously doubted.
Sherburn M. Becker, famous the coun-
try over as the boy Mayor of Mil
waukee, has purchased a seat on the New
York Stock exchange for $685. 900 and will
in a short time go to New York with
his wife to make his home. The sale Of
the seat on the exchange was announced
last week, but the name Of the purchaser
was not learned until Monday.
Twenty years ago j. p. Morgan, jr,
began working as a shipping clerk with
DreXel, Morgan & Co. Later he became
executive head of his fathers London
house. He assisted in organizing the Lon

above companies, Of the United States

over the maximum and minimum
clauses Of our tariff act. Mr.. Fielding,
speaking su~thoritstively for the
Laurier government, %endeavored to set
at rest any anxiety among his people
that there could possibly be friction
between the two countries over the re-
cent legislation. His Interpretation of
President Taft's message was that
Canada will be permitted to enjoy the
minimum rates and that close and
friendly relations we're bound to con-
tinue between the republic and the
dominion.
Selfish interest is here manifest, the
%selfishness that is sure to underlie a
nations friendliness as a general
thing. And Canada's keen inquiry as
to what the Washington administra-
ton is going to do about the maximum
and minimum clause shows the wis
dom of that particular enactment. 1t
may prove to be Of real service to us
when we come to ask Canada about
the preferential tariff treaties 1t is
said to be negotiating with France and
other European nations.

Canada's Friendliness.

Presentation Of the annual budget
before the Canadian Parliament was
made the occasion for considerable ex-
preston of felicitation toward the
United States. This is very pleasant
and welcome, as are all such manifest
ations of friendliness from so close a
neighbor. But talk of amity in the
same breath with finances has a sound
that is hardly akin to d~isinterested-
ness, and analysis of admissions made
by the minister of finance. Mr.. Field
ing, indicates hat the dominion hopes
TO profit by the graciousness of its
cousins on this side OF the border.
A review Of immigration figures
shows that Canada has fallen of very
largely in her allurement of popula-
tion from Europe, particularly from
the mother country, while during the
last year the dominion won from the
United States $4,000 new home-seek-
ers. a gain of nearly 1000 over the
previous twelve months, while the in
crease for the current year is even
greater.
Canada wants our citizens; indeed,
needs them. IL It is to develop the
northwest as II hopes. II also needs
our population as a market, as is at.

The City Charter.

Omaha is beginning to feel the
effects Of it's s~traitjacket charter.
The limitations and restrictions under
which the city is operated have served
to hamper or suspend several of its
most important activities. For exam
pie, a conflict has arisen between the
city n the contractor who was to re-
owe the garbage and dispose Of it,
and, pending the adjustment CT this
dispute, a condition has arisen which
is intolerable. Householders are sub
jected to ~unspeakable inconvenience
and, If the weather were warm, a pesti-
lence of disease would threaten, If not
engulf, the city. But this is only n
point.
FUNDS with which to carry on public
service, such as street lighting and
street cleaning, have been fixed at a
limit so low that it is impossible to
properly light or clean the streets with
the money at hand. The mayor has
been stripped of the prerogatives of an
OACSuIlNS uhJl4 uO dLuOuuIb W lllblO
more than a fgurehead, clothed only
with the power of drawing his salary
and welcoming conventions. The eff
forts of politicians to further their own
ends by writing into the city charter
little schemes for accomplishing little
objects has resulted in giving Omaha
a charter under which II ia mnOSsible
to efficiently administer the affairs of
government. This cannot be rem
edied before another session of the leg
islature, but it is not too soon to renew
the recommendation made by The Bee
more han a year ago that arrange
ments be made for the framing and
adoption Of a charter by the citizens
that shall be broad enough, and sufl-
GENTLY comprehensive, to provide
Omaha with an administration that a
growing city of its Importance requires.

TOLL OF THE LAKES.
Penalty ExHeted for Ignoring Bust
ness Prudence.

Plttsburg Dispatch.
The toll Of life which the late season on
the Great lakes has taken in stated as
12l. There is a question whether this total
may not yet be swollen by further returns
from the upper lakes. But on the pre-
sumption that it is final It is a cost Of
life that is startling on the best hypothesis
and on the suppositlon that some Of 1t is
p~reventable is appalling,
For that is the grave question thrust
upon the public notice by the fact that Of
the grim total by far the greatest share,
in proportion to the lapse of time, have
been the disasters Of the past ten days.
For the preceding part of the season the
losses were conventional in character and
number. It has been in the first two
storms of the winter that the losses have
been inflicted of twenty or thirty lives at
a single blow.
Years ago the dangers Of incoming win
ter on the lakes were so clearly recognized
that navigation was regarded as definitely
closed at some date between the middle Of
November and Thanksgiving, Recently
the increasing demands Of transportation
and probably an enlarged trust in the SUI
perlor size and strength of the lake craft.
have extended the season till its close was
forced by storms and ice. There is much
reason, especially In the light OF these
tragedies. TO doubt the economic wisdom
OF accepting the hazards OF late voyages,
and much more when humanity is consid-
cred. The loss OF a single vessel wipes out
the profit OF many voyages, and a score
OF lives on top Of that certainly leaves the
balance strongly on the side of the older
and safer practice.
