Uniform Car Service.

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion will perform a service of great
value to both shippers and railroads
If 1t succeeds In bringing about a uni
form system of car service. At pres
ent each railroad system has its own
methods with which shippers on other
lines are not necessarily familiar and
which are often so at variance with
those of connecting lines as to
needless delays. When traffic is nor
NAL or below no serious harm results,
but at foodtide, as in 1907, this lack
of uniformity produces costly compli-
cations.
Conflicting state laws are an in
superable barrier to uniformity in
many instances and lack of co-opera-
ton by the roads in others. Business
demands, however, are so insistent
that the obstacles must sooner or later
be removed. Railroads cannot keep
sufficient equipment to meet promptly
all extraordinary emergencies, but a
harmonious system would make it pos
sible to utilize equipment to its full
capacity and greatly reduce the incon-
venience of trafic brushes.
Disagreeing railroad managers and
conflicting state laws point to eventual
federal regulation of car service. The
general government is the only power
broad enough to all fields and
all conditions. Railroad managers
themselves realize this and generally
favor federal control. which originally
they fought bitterly. They do not rel
ish control now more than before, but
they see that 1t is unavoidable and
naturally prefer something uniform
and definite to something indefinite
and conflicting. The trafic problems
are growing larger and methods which
suficed yesterday are inadequate to-
day. Uniform methods 10 all trans
portation are an essential and cannot
be obtained without lodging authority
in one place to prescribe and enforce
them.

Schooling for Diplomats.

For years the consular and diplo-
matte service OF the United States was
admittedly the poorest of all the great
nations. Political backing largely die
tated the appointments. A great step
forward was taken by the Roosevelt
administration and congress strength
ened the executive order by enacting
the consular reform bill. Under this
law and the executive action the con-
sular service is becoming one of the
most efficient departments of the fed
eral governmen and its value will In
crease with the gradual wedding out
of ineompetents left from the old
regime.
The consular service law. however,
did not include the diplomatic service

Why Not Escape ?

The cruelties perpetrated upon the
Armenians for generations suggests
the question why they do not leave
the land where there is nothing but
misery for them. They have lived
there for centuries. prosecuted first by
one conQueror and then another and
through il all have chung TO the land

suffered aud have faced their destiny
in the same way.
Weighing poverty, inability TO see
a brighter future elsewhere and In
born human inertia each play a part,
exert an influence to keep the Ar
menians in Armenia, but the great,
impelling sentiment is attachment for
the land which has been their home.
This sentiment is wen more oharac-
teristic OF the oriental than OF west
ern races and few ever completely
ALLEVIATE themselves from the home
country. Compared with our ideals,
life in those lands is hard and unat-
tractive. yet those who wander con-
stantly look forward to return. The

Carnegie libraries in Nebraska.

Inc current lheue OF OoilltI JUL
tains an article by Andrew Carnegie
on "The Library Gift Business to-
gether with a statement purporting TO
be the first accurate list OF Mr.. Car
negle's gifts. The tabular exhibit
shows aggregate donations OF $780,
903 for the erecting Of 1,547 library
buildings and 311 branch library
buildings. The distribution of the
library gifts within the United States
is summarized by states, with the
names Of the beneficiary cities and
towns within each state. The Nebraska
list is as follows:
Twenty-one libraries. ........."... .tS1s,0oc
Alma, Holdrege,
Albion. Kcarney,
Auburn Lincoln C),
Beatric, McCook,
De witt, Neigh,
Fairbury, Norfolk.
Fremont. Pawnee city,
Grand Island, South Omaha,
Hastings. Superior.
Havelock. Tecumseh.
Making the division, this gives IN
average of a little more than 5000
contributed by Mr.. Carnegie to each Of
the cities enumerated. 1t is we'll
known that the amounts given to
Beatrice, Lincoln and South Omaha
considerably exceed the average, so
that most of the others must counter
balance by being below the average.
Do the people of any of these cities
feel that they have been Inundated
by accepting tainted none or pauper-
ICED by letting Mr.. Carnegie help
them house their Libraries properly?
We doubt It. Yet whether or not the
donation OF n library is regarded as
the most effective way of distributing
wealth, one feature which Mr.. Car
negie emphasizes must strike straight
home. He insists that what he is. do
ing is to help the individual and the
community to help themselves-that
the library gives nothing for nothing.
The condition Of the gift is that the
library be supported by taxation. ut
is owned by the communityA II is no
gift to the poorer classes. They help
contribute their mite. It is the library
of the people and within its walls the
poorest citizen has all the rights of the
mayor"
This principle of Mr.. Carnegie's IL
brary gifts ought to be kept in view
in all similar undertakings designed to
provide charitable or educational insti-
tutions for a community. 1t must al
ways be remembered that the erection
of a building is only providing the
plant and that the cost of maintenance
and operation is a steady and per-
petual obligation. The foolishness of
giving useless gifts is exceeded only
by the foolishness Of accepting gifts
whose burdens outweigh the benefits.

Broader View of the South.

II the people of the north imagine
they alone have learned to take a more
liberal view of the civil war they are
mistaken. Memorial day in the south
gave a good illustration of this. There
are many thousands of northern SOL
diers buried in southern cemeteries
and on practically every n of them
the people of the south strewed the
stances the veterans who wore the
gray Joined with the few union SOL
diers in the southern communities In
paying tribute to their dead.
The south, it is true, holds fast to
its ideals, but it is a sentiment of COM
radeship rather than an insistence that
the victory should have been theirs.
Whatever difference of opinion there
was as to the issues of the war, there
are no two opinions north or south
as to the mutual benefits of preserving
the union. A charity which is broad
enough to pay tribute to a fallen OPP
Iponent must be broad enough to bridge
the gap between the living. The south
was the greater sufferer from the war,
and It is not strange, therefore, that
bitterness should rankle longer there.
The episodes of Memorial day in the
south afford occasion for c~ongratula-
ton that it has not been left for future
generations to bring about this under
standing, but hat some of the par
Elephants in the conflict have been
spared to promote 1t.

liable index of the amount of munich

much of the large sum under the head

City is spending millions OF new con-
struction and the probabilities are that
no large amount was used for pur-
chasing private plants.
The most notable conclusion to be
drawn from the exhibit is that Ameri-
can cities are not only growing, but
that they are expanding millions to
make city life more healthful and
pleasant. Practically all this vast sum
went for the things which directly
minister to these wants. We are con-

are far ahead of US, but with such a
tremendous rate of expenditure 1t a n

Immediately after the race, the

CALICO BALL
SOCIAL Event OF
The SEASON
LADIES OF THE MACCABEES EN-.
TERRAIN LAST EVENING AT
SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR.

The calico ball given last evening
in the Miners Exchange hall by the
Ladies of the Maccabees, was one of
the best attended affairs of it's kind
held during the present year. This
was the first dance after the Lenten
season, and naturally the event was
one long looked forward too. 1t
seemed that all Tonopah was pres
ent and each and every one enjoyed
themselves throughout. The ladies
were attired in calico dresses and the
judges who awarded the prize for the
best calico dress were unable to
agree for over three hours. This
prize was presented to Mrs. Ed Will
son. The prize for the most ridicu-
lous necktie was won by Earl Lydon.
There was also a varied assortment
to choose from and the judges were
forced to call in assistance. Hugh
Herd and Jack Leach were candidates
for the prize, but lost out by a mar
row margin.
The feature of the evening was the
fancy drill by the Maccabee drill
team. This team was composed of
sixteen ladies, all attired in a calico
uniform with red, white and blue
sash, wearing mortar board cap
and carrying a spear. The manuevers
they went through brought forth APP
plause time and time again. The
drill was presented without a hitch,
each movement being executed with
regularity that would have done
credit to picked squad of trained
soldiers. The team has been practic-
ing for nearly two months and were
deserving of the praise they received.
Dancing was kept up until a late
hour this morning and at the expira-
ton of the affair the dancers turned
homeward tired but happy. The COM
mite from the order who had charge
of the dance is deserving of credit for
the manner in which it was handled
