POLITICAL DRIFT.

Los Angeles thinks the recall system of
disposing of unfaithful officials is the
brightest Jewel in it's political crown. The
town wouldn't trade II for an irrigated
farm.
The new solicitor general of the Depart
ment Of Justice, besides being n Yale

ton that beats tennis talent by a mile

The Commoner. having denounced Con-
gresham Fitzgerald of Brooklyn for going

Children are so unpopular with land

A Law Ignored.

The Omaha charter bill. carrying an
emergency clause, was signed by Gov
ernor Sh%allenberger last week. 1t be-
came effective as a law the moment
the gubernatorial signature was at
tached. That section of the bill re-
lating to the Board of Fire and Police
commissioners for Omaha contains the
following proviso:
Provided. That the governor of the state
shall, within ten days after this act takes
effect, appoint four persons. citizens Of
the city possessing the qualifications for
the office of fire and police commissioner
prescribed in this act, to serve until the
first general election following and until
their successors are elected and qualified.
notwithstanding the mandatory Ian
guage of this act, the governor has al
lowed the ten days to go by without
taking any action and the time is up
when he can make further police
board appointments. Why the gov
ernor should sidestep a duty imposed
on him by a law which he, himself, has
signed is not clear. Evidently he did
not care to reappoint all the members
of the present board and feared to APP
point others to succeed them.
Presumably the existing police
board will continue as holdovers until
their places are demanded by duly
elected and properly qualified success
sors. Should any vacancies occur in
the police board membership by death
or resignation within the next six
weeks they would be filled by appoint
ment by Mayor Dahlman-the very
thing which the lawmakers who
framed the charter bill insisted they
wanted to prevent.

Appeal for an EXPLORER.

The facility with which Americans
lose interest in and track of adventur-
GUS explorers who get out of touch
with the regular news channels is illus
trated by an appeal just issued by Ad-
miral Schley, president of the Arctic
an expedition for the relief of DR..
Frederick A. Cook, now lost in the
north polar regions. No word has
been received from the Cook party
since March II, 1908, a little more
than a year ago, and friends of the ex-
plorer fear he may be Ill or stranded
through some accident.
DR.. Cook is a Brooklyn physician,
tions. He started for the north pole,
via Greenland, early in 1907. He
reached Cape Sabine about March 1,
a year ago, and struck out straight for
the pole. The last report from him
stated hat he was at a point about
fifty miles north of Cape Thomas Hub
bard, OH the polar sea, and that all
with him were we'll. The explorer had
planned to return by September of last
year, but as no word has been received
from him, the Arctic club proposes to
equip an expedition for his relief at
an expense of about $4,000, which it
is desired to raise by popular subscrip-
tions.
The Cook expedition was encour-
aged by the National Geographic So
ciety, which had already benefited by
his exploration of Mount Mckinley
and in other work, and there will nat
urally be a generous response to the
appeal for funds for his rescue. If he
is still alive or, should misadventure
! overtaken him, to bring back his re-
mains for sepulture. At the same time
there must be regret at the toll of life
almost annually demanded from those
who persist in these polar expeditions

Foolish Railroads.

All the railroads doing business in
Missouri have agreed to utilize the de-
cision they secured from Judge Nc
Pherson overturning the Missouri 2
cent fare law to put their passenger
rates up again to a Scent basis. When
pending the railroads would have been
very glad to have compromised on 2hs
cents. They have admitted that the
abolition of the free pass has brought
them a snug addition to their passen-
ger revenue. but they now want to
keep this and exact the full 8 cents a
mile as before. In other words, they
want to get the benefit of all the legis-
lation that brings them more money,
but to make no concessions whatever
to the travelling public.
The Missouri railroads are acting
just about as penny wise and pound
foolish as did the Nebraska railroads
when they refused to pay up their
taxes. The average railroad man can
see no further ahead than the ticket
window. He pirates about the desira-
bility of cooperation between the rail-
way and the public, but when he has
a chance to cooperate he refuses to
yield a single inch. If the railroads
attempt to repeat their retaliatory
Missouri performance in other states
that enacted 2-cent fare laws they may
expect to have their hands full.

Returning Tide Of Immigration.

More than 10000 immigrants ar
rived in New York last week and the
steamship bookings indicate a record
for the year that promises to equal
the high mark set in 1907. How many
OF those returning are members of last
years emigration and how many are
new to the country does not yet ap-
pear. In the FIRST two months Of last
year the emigrants from New York
exceeded the immigrants in number
by los, 900, whereas for January and
February of this year the arrivals have
exceeded the departures by 100000.
A report has gone abroad throughout
Europe that business depression in
America has passed and that industrial
conditions are rapidly nearing the
normal. Many of those who sailed for
their native land in 1908 are now re-
turning and bringing others with
them.
That there should be such IN in
crease in immigration at this season
VI INV StoA 10 n VI ~ III
There has been no such rapid revival
of the industries to call the workmen
back in such large numbers, but the
immigrants watch the labor market
closely and are undoubtedly satisfied
that their services will be in demand.
There is reason to suppose that the de-
mand for agricultural labor will be
greater than ever in the west and
south and there is promise of unusual
activity in railroad construction work
in several parts of the country. The
building reports from different cities
~foreshadOw great activity in that line,
beginning early in the season, and
factories are generally operating very
nearly to capacity. despite the depres-
sion that always obtains when a tariff
bill is under discussion.
The commissioner of immigration
reports that the sources of February
arrivals are as follows:
From Austria Hungary ..... %, 900
from D,3OO
From the United Kingdom ............ $500
From Germany. 1,1S6
OF these the Italians are the float
ing army, most of them making no eff
fort to become permanent residents,
but following the demand for labor.
The immigrants from other countries
generally plan to become citizens. and
their arrival in such large numbers
creates a problem in the economic
world arising from conflicts in diff
ferent standards of living. On this &C
count the government officials are
making an extra effort to have these
foreigners distributed throughout the
country as much as possible instead
of allowing them to form colonies and
districts in the already congested large
cities.

The Brownsville Incident.

President Taft has acted promptly
gress for the appointment of a board
of army officers for inquiry into what
is known as the Brownsville case. The
board is composed of five brigadier
generals of long experience and high
personal character, thus furnishing an
assurance that full justice will be
granted to all concerned in the affair.
The country will have an interest
in the final disposition of the case on
account of the desperate attempts of
Senator Foraker and Others to make
political capital out of it to the hurt
Of the republican ticket in the last
campaign. There has been the great
est conflict of testimony and the facts
of the Texas tragedy are still in dis
pute. The troops were discharged by
order of President Roosevelt because
of the shooting up of the own by a
mob, of which it is known that some
were soldiers, The conspiracy of ST.
lence" was adopted to protect the
guilty members of the battalion and
the president determined to dismiss
them all in the interests of discipline.
Under the act of congress the army
board will have authority to recon-
mend for re-enlistment any member of
the battalion who succeeds in convinc-
ing the board of his innocence of COM
plicity in the affair. This is all that
the soldiers or the public could ask.

HUGHES A POLITICAL MYSTERY
New York's Governor as a Man of
Deeds.
Minneapolis Journal-

Minneapolis journal.
Governor Charles E. Hughes of New
york Is today the enormous mystery of
American politics. 1t Is n after of common
report that Governor Hughes has no init
mates, that he works with nobody. that he
has no friends in the legislature. The leg
~islation he proposes is always doomed 70
ignominious defeat and always passes
t~riumphantly. The governor himself is al
ways on the brink of being rejected" but
he never is.
When his first term is governor was
about to expire. Governor Hughes was
shuDted aside by the statesmen. He was
not to be renominated. because in their
judgment he could not be reelected. When
he had become thoroughly convinced that
all the leaders we're against him, Governor
Hughes announced that he would accept
a denomination. Without a campaign, a
barrel, a headquarters or a promise. he
was renominated Absent from the state
during a large part of the campaign, MAX
ing speeches for Taft. his defeat for re-
election was carefully planned by a coali-
ton OF all the democrats, all the dissatis-
fled republicans. all the race horse men
and all the liquor interests. Governor
Hughes was reelected by $1,000 plurality.
In his first term. he proposed the public
utilities commission bill, which was I'M
mediately doomed" by the politicians. II
passed triumphantly, He demanded the
race track bill, which was ignored, des.
pissed and rejected by the wise ones. on
the first essay it was beaten in the senate
by a tie vote. A senator died, and the peo-
pie returned a member favorable TO the
bill and at a special session 1t became a
law.
Now Governor Hughes is in a contro-
versy with the leaders over a direct pri-
mary bill. AS usual 1t is doomed to de-
feat. There is not a politician who does
not denounce it as rotten" not a ma
chinist who does not deplore its populistic
tendencies. and predict its utter rejec-
ton There is every reason, then. to be-
lieve that the bill will pass, and the mys-
terry of Governor Hughes will continue ia
deepen.
1t looks as though he would some day
reach the White House, without a friend
on earth to put him there, without votes
and without support. 1t would be no more
mysterious than his clairvoyant Influence
over a wolfish Legislature and a degenerate
party leadership in the Empire state.
