The John Hay Memorial Library of
Brown University, which is now prac-
tically completed, is to be formally ded-
icated Friday, November 18th. Plans
are now under way for the days pro-
gram which will include addresses by
Senator Elihu Root of New York and
President-emeritus James B. Angel of
the University of Michigan, formal ded-
icatory exercises in the new library,
and general reception in the evening.
The new library which is of the most
modern type, with accommodations for
300, 900 volumes, has seen erected at a
cost of $500, 900, this amount having
been secured by gifts from Andrew
Carnegie and thirty others. Ample
provision has been made for suitable
housing of the many special collections
of books which the University pos
sesses, and a student library, directly
accessible to undergraduates, will be
maintained. With the close coopera-
ton which will be entered into with the
libraries of Providence and the vicinity,
the John Hay Library Will contribute
greatly to the upbuilding not only of
the University, but also of the educa-
tional life Of the city and state. In the
value of this contribution, Governor

Shippers Win at Last.

The shippers affected by the some
what famous Missouri river rate case
may now count that they have
achieved a real victory, since the SUI
preme court has overruled Judge
Grosscup's decision. which prevented
the Interstate Commerce commission
from enforcing the order Of Novem-
Der is, 1908. The fact that the fiti-
cation has run the gamut OF the
courts for two years and finally re-
suited in favor of the shippers before
the court Of last resort, makes the
victory the more distinct This dis
tinction is a little more than senti-
mental, too, when it is taken into
consideration with the present de-
mands of railroads for increases In
rates. The moral effect may not be
to set up any presidents or standards
by which TO measure other rates, but
when II is remembered with what
persistence the roads combatted these
rates from first to last, it does have
bearing on present disputes. It il
well that this case was fought to the
utmost length, for this leaves no
question Of it's stability.
A point of much interest in this
controversy is that the rates now
made operative by the decision will
remain in effect until the railroads
can prove their right to advance them
and in the circumstances Of the new
law the burden of proof rests entirely
upon the railroads. In the event OF
their intention to raise their rates the
roads would have to give a thirty
days notice and then the shippers
would avail themselves Of the provis-
ion Of law which enables the commits
sion to suspend advances by filing q
petition for that purpose. Theirs
seems to be little iikelihood now Of an
early reversal Of conditions, In this
case the shippers may expect really
to derive some benefit in freight
charges from their lons-awaited vic
tory.

Deneen Points the WAY.

Governor Deneen has sounded the
keynote of the next legislative reform
in Illinois. If his program is followed
out Il will be substantial reform,
looking to a sensible system Of con-
structivs work and political house
cleaning without any of the sentimen-
tai stage craft which too often dims
good promises and impairs faithful
service. The governors appeal to the
decent people Of his state certainly is
timely and should be needed in such
a way that this work Of rejUvenation
may actually be done, and that good
men may be sent to Springfield to do
Il, and not ? lot Of political pirates,
such as wrought the havoc in the last
session,
The people OF Illinois have to look
to the republican party for this reform.
The republican party is in such posi-
ton that it has to do the work, If il is
done. The democratic party, which
has renominated most Of it's faithless
members who brought such ignominy
on the state before, cannot reasonably
be entrusted with the duty. II there
was ever q time when the republicans
Of that state needed to get together
this would seem to be that time. The
governor. as the leader of his party in
the state, is encOuraSDd by what he
believes to be the fact that this cOAli-
tion is either complete or I'm process
of formation.
II the upheaVal smAnating from
the scandal of the last legislature leads
to a complete readiustmsnt Of cOndi-
tions in Illinois, It will be a recon-
pehse, II not a justification, sufficient
tc make the people feel that all was
not lost in the mire of crooked poll
tics. Governor Deneen undertakes a
large task, but one he must essay and
he must succeed. even though that in-
volve the Sturdiest sort Of grit and
qualities of leadership.

Aldrich in Omaha.

The republican nominee for sov-
ernor, Chester n. Aldrich, has put in
two days of his campaign in Omaha
and South Omaha, and the general
verdict is that he has personally made
a good impression and certainly driven
no votes away that he would other
wise have gotten. In appearance,
manner and talk Mr.. Aldrich is far
superior to his opponent, the cowboy
mayor, and as chief executive Of a
great state like Nebraska would un-
questionably reflect credit upon the
Office. whereas Mayor Jim" as gov
ernor would keep us IN constant fear
OF some disgraceful act.
Mr.. Aldrich undertook to assure the
people of Omaha and South Omaha
that if elected he will be governor OF
the entire state and all the varied in
terests Of it's people, and not Of any
one special interest; that Omaha
would have his help in asserting it's
rights and protecting its industries a.
much as any other part Of the state.
Mr.. Aldrich endeavored to persuade
the people here to accept county op-
ton, but we doubt that he made any
headway in this direction. The large
majority Of the people Of Omaha and
South Omaha believe that the present
law permitting each city and town to
decide whether the selling Of liquor
shall be licensed is preferable to let
ting the people OF the county, outside
Of the city, decide. The candidates
for the legislature on both party
tickets have all with possibly one ex-
ception, declared against county op-
'tioh, and il the legislature is against
such a measure the governor win not
be called on either to approve or veto.
Mr.. Aldrich laid stress on the bene-
fits accruing to Omaha from the re-
form legislation in whose enactment
he participated as member Of the state
senate in 1907. As a law-maker he
put our people under obligation to
him in many ways and has a right to
expect q reasonable degree Of re-
Ciprocity.

Indians and Taxation

The law to tax restricted Indian
land, which came from Senator
Browns bill in the last congress, has
already served to show that Indians
as a whole are not inimioal to taxation
and that they have a clearer under
standing Of what it means to them
than might have been supposed. We
find from the indians themselves that
they welcome taxation, believing that
It will not impose greater burdens
upon them, but rather that Il will pro-
duce greater advantages. 1t is quite
noteworthy 20 knew that a delegation
OF Omaha Indians recently in Wash
ington, to the man, expressed gratifi-
cation that the government was going
TO include them in its list OF taxpay-
ers. They had not so much to say OF
the ethical side of the question as OF
the material They may have appre-
eiated fully how responsibility tends
10 make them self-supporting and
self-rsspecting and all that, but what
struck them as OF mOst consequence
was that when they paid taxes, in ad-
dition to the white people, the public
funds would be enlarged and they
could have better schools and better
roads and better advantages Of yari-
Gus kinds
This looks as II Uncle Sam has
really accomplished something with
his wards. II is really more than
might have been expected b ythose not
familiar with the indian situation in
this state and section. II is natural
for the white man to vince when the
matter OF taxes Is mentioned. The
Indian could not have been blamed
had he done It. Therefore, it must be
extremely gratifying to the govern
msnt in It's patient effort TO educate
and elevate the Indian to find how

oeeded because e started out on the

Sioux City Tribune.
The supreme court OF the United States
has sustained the claim OF the railways
that the statute OF limitations does not run
against the grant by the government OF
q right Of way over public lands. The rail-
way attorneys argued that a railway is a
public highway, the same as are others
not exclusively occupied by rails. and that
as such are public property Of the state
and that the statute Of limitations cannot
run against the state, II being sovereign.
That settles the law ~ not the right. But
what strikes us as queer 10 the readiness
with which railway lawyers shift ground
as the exigencies Of their clients interest
demand. A railway ia private property
Of its shareholders, q private highway for
the use OF which the company may charge
what Il will. Turning about TO face q sit
ustion requiring the negation Of that prop
eBltion they argue that the railway is a
public highway, part and parcel Of the
states sovereignty and that statutes Of
