Deadly Auto Races.

From w. X. Vanderbilt, IT., comes
assurance that the outright death of
four persons and the mortal injury of
many others in his automobile cup
race will in no way interfere with the
International race be is promoting for
October 10. But the law should see
that something does interfere. The
law should see that IL this larger race
is run, it be run In accordance with
common sense and due regard for
human life. And apparently from
statements made by some Of the au-
thorities in New York, they propose to
do this. Beside that some of those
who we're to have participated in this
international race are ready to with
draw because of the awful slaughter Of
life in the race Saturday.
At best these maniaeal demonstra-
tons of speed serve no useful end and,
disguised in the shroud Of death, they
cannot be classed as sport. So unless
they are properly regulated and re-
strtcted, they should be prohibited
entirely To allow them. to continue
as at present is criminal encourage
ment of indifference TO human safety
which can find no justification
Public sentiment has done much to
curb the mania OF less perilous sports
and it will rise against this one and
IL its promoters and sponsors fail to
respond to sane demands will do away
with it entirely as it is about to do
with the prize fight.
The reports of this fatal race say
the winning car ''thpndered" across
the line without hand raised to clap
or voice to cheer. Indeed! Nor did
this winning car slack its speed as II
left the dead and dying in it's wake.
Such exhibitions Of carnage are too
appalling to be complacently endured.

Railroads and the Law.

Mr.. Arthur e. Stilwell, having got
ten his Kansas City, Mexico Il Orient
railroad so far along that 1t very
nearly reaches from the mouth of the
Kaw to tide water on the Pacific coast,
finds time for and diversion in liter
airy pursuits, and 1t is not perhaps to
be wondered at that his output takes
the form OF defense Of the railroads
However, If Mr.. Stilwell builds rail-
roads with no greater adroitness and
perspicuity than he. exhibits in his
special pleading for them. his success
is not likely to be listed as epoch
making.
In his latest plea, which Ia headed
Put It In the Specification" he says:
II am in favor of controlling railroads
by fixed policy, making the require
ments everywhere the same, and as
simple as can be framed in order to
execute the laws and create public
safety. We have standard fire insur-
ance policies which embody fair con-
ditions. Why cannot the United States
and the railroads agree on a fair con-
tract between the railroads and the
| states and govern all by the same re-
quirements2" MT. Stilwell has read
history to very little purpose If Il has
not taught him the difficulty that lies
In the way of his program. The ex-
perienee of the United States in I'M
dertaking to deal with railroad cor
porations by law has not been so in
spiriting as leads to the conclusion
that any contract, no matter what its
terms, could be made and enforced
against the railroad companies with
out the continual support of the
authority of the United States.
In the simple matter of requiring
the companies to equip their cars with
safety appliances, a delay of many
years resulted before the law could
be enacted by congress. Other delays
followed on the course of the law in
the courts, where it was taken by the
| ram Oau SOAhpoAAOot oAAd bNlAl OlhGA uS-
lays were occasioned by the failure of
the companies to properly equip their
cars within the time fixed by law. So
that nearly fifteen years elapsed before
the railroad companies could be COM
PEELED by the United States TO do. thai
which common decency should have
prompted them to bring about for the
safety of their patrons and their en-
ployes, and even today some railroads
are relying on the decision of the
United States court of appeals, which
held that while the companies might
be compelled by law to properly equiv
their cars, they were not required by
that law to maintain that equipment al
an efieient standard. What is true IL
tregard to the safety appliances Law
has been repeated In other phases Of
the relations between the railroadl
and the public.
Mr., Stilwell complains bitterly Of
the "forty-seven varieties" of railroad
regulation that exist In the United
States II he would turn his elo

The Tariff and Prices.

II the average person we're asked TO
explain exactly how the tariff affects
prices Of commodities he probably
would hesitate or fail in his answer. yet
the same person has no hesitaney in as
serting that the tariff does effect
prices IL, indeed, It does not entirely
control them For the last year and
more an incessRnt attack has been
made upon the tariff on the ground
that 1t alone is chargeable with the In
creased cost of living. This has been
kept up by men who ought to know
better-and by many who do know
better-but for selfish interests do not
tell the people better. 1t has been
done in spite OF the fact that the cost
of living in all other countries has
gone up and has been steadily going
up for years; In spite OF the fact that
on the whole the cost of living is no
higher, If an high, today as a year ago.
Here is short list OF articles and
their New York prices at the begin
ming of 1909 and the close OF August,
1910, which were on the free list
under the Dingley tariff law and were
left there by the Payne tariff law:

Howard and Hitchcock.

Although he has been forced to
stomach many nauseous doses out Of
the democratic medicine chest, Edgar
Howard in his Columbus Telegram
grits his teeth and refuses absolutely
to open his mouth to the malodorous
pill that has been mixed for him in the
shape of the nomination of G. NJ!
Hitchcock for United States senator
on the democratic ticket. After all
that Judge Howard has stood for in
the name of democracy 1t goes without
saying that he must be thoroughly
convinced of the utter unworthiness
and falthlessness of Hitchcock or he
would not take this step at this time,
When Edgar Howard says, I'VE
dare not support G. M. Hitchcock, the
democratic nominee for United States
senate" it must mean that he has the
goods on him And when he says,
We shall oppose his election because
of his bad record in dealing with a
public matter-a record so bad that it
will prevent him from receiving the
vote of any Nebraskan who knows the
record" 1t must mean that Judge
Howard is prepared to face a show
down whenever his statement is
called.
Those who have even faint famil-
iarity with the record of the demo-
cratic candidate for United States SEN
ate may have some suspicion as to
what Judge Howard refers to, but as
that record contains so many things
that should prevent Hitchcock from
receiving the vote of any conscientious
Nebraskan, 1t will devolve upon Judge
Howard to point out specifically what
he regards as the blacklist spot and
the most objectionable sin.
Judge Howard calls upon Candidate
Hitchcock to withdraw from the ticket
and thus make 1t unnecessary for him
to publish the shameful story" This
appeal is, Of course, foredoomed to dis
appointment, because Mr.. Hitchcock is
not of the Withdrawing kind Hitch
