HaVenS, Democrat, Elected in
Rochester, n. y, District
TURN OF $1,000 VOTES
Republican Candidate Was Charged
With 6ossism and Accused In In
surance investigation.

Rochester N. Y, April 20. - The
Democratic sweep is on without the
slightest mistake. if the result Of the
congressional campaign in the special
election for representative in the
Thirty-secOnd district between James
S. Havens, Democrat. and George W.
Aldridge, Republican is an indication.
Mr.. Havens has defeated Mr.. Aldridgs
by a plurality of $685. Inasmuch as the
late Representative Perkins, Republi-
can. carried the district in 1903 by
10,167, the result shows a change Of
1902 votes. Mr. Havens carries the
city Of Rochester by 3746. when in
1908 Mr. Perkins carried 1t by 62l5,
which records a change of 1851 votes.
The result tallies almost to a dot
with that in the Fourteenth Massachu-
setts district. where at a recent spe-
clal election Eugene N. Foss. Demo-
crat overturned a Republican pfIral-
fly in 1908 Of $4,000 and won by 5000,
making a change Of 10000 votes.
This special election marked the
elimination Of the HVeliest campaign
ever waged in Monroe county. This
district elected its last Democratic
congressman in 1890. Mr.. Havens Is
for tariff reform. while Aldridgs stood
on the tariff policies Of the Republican
national administration.
What gave the campaign its fever
heat. however, was what the Demo
Gratis called the moral issue" the
question Of "bossism" and of the per-
sonal fitness Of Mr.. Aldridge to sit In
the house Of representatives.
The evidence that Mr.. Aldridge re-
ceived a check for $1,000 from a rep
resentative of the insurance compAn-
les for the alleged purpose OF inhu-
encing legislation was an argument
his opponents kept before the people
in the form Of a Photographic fac
smile of this check, mailed to every
one Of the $4,000 voters in the dis
trict
Also It has been known all along
that Mr. Aldridge has refused to ac-
cede to the demand Of the National
CIothiers' association that he put him
SELF on FeCOIu ds ldFOl ms a
Of the wool schedule. insisting that
he stood by the principles Of his party.
Then. too. Mr.. Aldridge has received
letters. most Of them begging Where
do you stand on Cannonism?' Others
demanded that Mt Aldridge "declar'
Immediately against Cannonism or
take the consequences.
Mr.. Aldridge needed the letters no
more than he did the demands OF the
National Clothiers' association.
Betting odds were about to on
Aldridge.
The Socialists and the Prohibition
lists had candidates in the field. but
this vote did not have much bearing
on the result

Mnnininal 0wnershin.

The people of omaha have suddenly
thrust upon them a condition that
warrants careful and sober considera-
ton. With the requirement by the
city of the water plant and the sug-
gested undertaking to acquire an cleo
trio light plant for city purposes, with
newer determination Of the city's
rights in its dealings with other public
utility corporations, the question of
municipal ownership or control takes
on a much bigger and more vital
aspect.
1t is especially important at this
juncture that the subject be dealt with
sanely, and that the public be not car
ried away on wave of hysteria en-.
gendered by wild assertions of ire
sponsible individuals who promise
much, but perform little. The seri-
Gus and costly blunder made in the
proceedings to purchase the water
plant for the public should stand as a
permanent warning against precipitate
haste in another direction. If Omaha
is to go further along the road to pub
lie ownership of what are generally
classed as public utilities" each step
should be carefully considered, and
the public should be given the fullest
opportunity to weigh all matters free
from prejudice purposely aroused by
selfish demagogues.
The decision of the supreme court
in the gas case does not touch directly
on the question of municipal owner
ship, but has an indirect bearing on
that point. 1t is the re-statement in
stronger and clearer terms OF the
power Of the city over the corporations
that serve its citizens. The position
in which the lighting company finds
itself is one that gives the public great
advantages and proves the wisdom
that was exercised on behalf of the
people in the stipulations inserted in
the gas franchise contract when 1t was
last negotiated.

The funniest thing of the season Is
the brave effort that is being made in
Lincoln to stay wet after voting dry.
With the courts called on to decide as
between convivial clubs and central
distributing stations the prospect of
suburban life-saving stations Is re-
newed, although in the form of retalia-
ton. Here is an item out of Lin
coin paper:
Chairman Myers of the village board OF
West Lincoln said last night that IL Lin
coin permits the establishment of a whole
sale liquor house or a dispensary whereby
liquor can be secured that West Lincoln
will consider the establishment OF sa-
looms. IF Lincoln keeps on sending
drunken citizens out this way" said Mr.,
Myers, I'VE viii be forced to retailate.
West Lincoln Is an Incorporated village
and IL the board of trustees decides 10
grant license that license will be good,
II Lincoln pretends to be dry we want to
see It really dry--no halfway measure
about It,"
1t is evidently up to the neighboF-
ing villages to stop dry Lincoln from
sending drunken citizens out this
way and making the pretense Of dry
ness a reality. This is certainly home
rule and democracy with a venge
ance.

Back to Roots and Herbs

Guarding against the "thrall of pro-
prietary remedies" medical schools of
this country are manifesting a disposi-
ton to turn back to the roots and
herbs as healing agents which the
doctor of the saddle-bag days used Ad-
hitting lack of prescription work in
the colleges, but not quite ready to
acknowledge that medical students to-
day learn less about materia medica
than the students Of former days, The
New York Medical Journal declares
We are hopeful that We shall return once
more to the use of the medicinal plants
and drugs for the utility of which the ex-
perlence Of thousands Of years vouches.

Roorting PASSENGER Rates.

Railroads between the Atlantic coast
and the Mississippi river are planning
for a raise in passenger, as we'll as
freight rates, on the ground that in
crease in the cost Of operation and the
necessity OF charging facilities to meet
the rapid expansion of traffic compels
them to provide new revenues. But
the railroads have not yet made any
showing that would justify raising pas
senger rates, to say nothing of freight.
When the states undertook to lower
fares the railroads demanded judicial
investigation and carried on extensive
inquiries before legislatures, but now
they seek to advance these rates on
their own exparte exhibit.
AS to freight rates the announced in
tention is to confine the larger ad.
vances to articles carried as first class
and make only minor changes in lower
grade commodities Bituminous coal,
for instance, and pig iron will not be
affected; they both yield a profit, the
railroads admit, under the present
schedules and so far as that is con-
cerned, the railroads have been appre-
hensive lest they be forced to lower
their rates on coal. Dressed beef will
be one of the first articles affected, as
IL has in some cases already been. 1t
is regarded as expensive traffic.
The railroads offer in this connec-
ton the contradictory argument that
advances in rates should not make for
higher prices, in the same breath con-
tending that they are forced to iaise
their rates because of the high cost of
living which has led to general ad-
vance in tine level of wages. Their plea
now is that this adance in freight rates
will be so widely distributed as to be
Insignificant with respect to any one
article, but the consumer always has
paid the freight and probably always
| will.

Death of King Edward.

The death of Edward VII will not
only throw England and the British
empire into mourning, but will cast a
gloom over the whole civilized world.
While Edward has, perhaps, no
great personal achievements distin-
gushing his short reign. yet he evinced
remarkable appreciation of the re-
sponsibilities OF the high position to
which he was called and demeaned
himself with credit to the royal family
and to his country.
His loss at this particular time
while Great Britain is in the throes Of
political crisis is doubly unfortunate
and may be fraught with more serious
consequences than appear on the sur
face.
Throughout the entire ructlon in
Parliament the king had displayed
masterful command of the situation,
exercising a marked degree OF diplo-
macy in dealing with the various fac
tons. He had shown qualities of tact
and craftsmanship that must give him
a new place In the eyes of the world.
His influence would unquestionably
have been invaluable in Strengthening
out the tangle between lords and COM
mons that still threatens the peace and
stability of the empire.
King Edward had a most difficult
role to play coming into the throne
after the reign of his illustrious
mother, unbroken for nearly sixty-ive
years. The universal feeling that he
more than met expectations will be at,
tested by the sincerity of the trib Ites
to his memory.

STEEL PASSENGER COACHES.

Modern Equipment.


Philadelphia Bulletin.
Upon the delivery of 424 all-steel passen-
ger cars just ordered from the Pullman
company, the Hartman lines will have
more steel equipment than any other rail-
road system in the United States. The
claim Is made that fully one-third of the
entire system will then be of the all-steel
type,
Distinctive pre-eminenee in the use of all
steel cars has hitherto been enjoyed by
the Pennsylvania system, which, with re-
cent orders, soon will have 800 passenger
coaches Of that type. But including the
present order, the Hartman lines by the
end Of the year will have 925 such cars
in service. Furthermore, 1t is believed that
within five years every passenger train on
the Hartman system will be of steel con
struction,
The marked advantages of all-steel pas
senger cars is their ability to withstand fire
and their indestructability in wrecks. FIRE.
auent collisions have occurred in which
the metal coach and its burden of human
freight have escaped unscathed, while the
old fashioned wooden car has been splin-

to realize the possibilities OF economy in
operation than railroad managers usually
are, and it Is to the credit Of the directors
OF the PENNSYLVANIA and Hartman lines
that they have recognized the value Of the
all-stee coach ahead of their rivals. II is a

TEN-HOUR LAW APPLIED.
Beneficial Decision for the Working
Women of Illinois.



Women of Illinois.
Chicago Record Herald.
The decision of the Illinois supreme court
which upholds the ten-hour law for work
ing women is in keeping with the principles
that have been enunciated by the courts of
other states and by the supreme court Of
the United States. An old Illinois decision
that was relied on to defeat the law failed
to impress the higher court as 1t had the
court below. And the doctrine set forth
is fully sustained by the facts of human
life and by social and industrial as well
as legal developments.
While the world moves judges should
not stand still. nor should they be blind
to what is going on about them, even
though Justice may wear a bandage over
Its eyes, So our judges take cognIzanee
of working conditions and OF the differ
enees in the effect of those conditions
upon men and women, declare that what
they themselves know as men they can
not profess to be ignorant of as judges
and lead up to this conclusion:
1T would, therefore. seem obvious that
legislation which limits the number OF
hours which women shall be permitted
to work to ten hours in single day In
such employments as are carried on in
mechanical establishments. factories and
laundries would tend to preserve the
health of women and insure the produc-
ton of vigorous offspring by them, and
would directly oonduee to the health,
morals and general welfare Of the pub
lie and that such legislation would fall
clearly within the police power OF the
state"
That is the enlightened view OF our
day, justified by the most impressive les
cons of experience and wholly ereditabl'
to the court, which shows by its decl
sion that 1t belongs TO the living present
and not to the dead past

Need for the Scott Bill.

The Alabama mine horror in which
more than 100 lives are reported lost
has had the effect of quickening action
in congress for the passage of the
measure creating a bureau of mines
in the Department of the Interior. The
appalling frequency of these mine dis
asters has convinced the government
that 1t can no longer entrust to pri-
vate enterprise the sacred duty of safe
guarding human life employed in the
mines Those private agencies have
shown a woeful lack of efficiency in
this direction and thousands of lives
have paid the toll of mismanagement
or lack of management,
The bill in congress is constructed
on comprehensive lines which it is be-
lieved will give a large measure of re-
lief and protection to the miners.
Criminal negligence undoubtedly has
played a much larger part in these
mine accidents than coroners' juries
have disclosed or mine owners have ad-
mitted and this bill contemplates a re-
duction of the possibility of this sort
of reckless indifference to human
safety OF the bills enactment into law
