The Land Show

The interest shown throughout the
west in the forthcoming land show
which is being promoted by The
Omaha Bee and The Twentieth Cen
tury Farmer, is growing at a rate that
more than insures the success of the
exposition. Il is evident now that the
Omaha show will be the great event
OF the winter in this line. Through
out the northwest states, counties and
communities alike are vieing with
each other In arrangements for the
exhibition Of resources and opportuni-
ties. Products Of the soil and pros
poets for the settlers will be arranged
side by side and the tale OF the prog
ress OF the new empire will be told in
tangible products.

gateway and for which Omaha Is the

market place. has been going on at a
rate that is not understood save by
those who have followed it so closely
as to be aware Of its actual wonders.
The Omaha Land show will astonish
even those who think they are well
posted and will give to the world a
better idea Of the Importance OF the
region that so many think is an unin-
vitiug wilderness. The great fruit
raising region OF the intermountain
country is yet to be developed to its
fullest capacity, but men and means
are coming TO it's needs. The oppor-
tunities for the home-builder in this
section of the world are so attractive
in every aspect that the rush hither
is understood by those familiar with
conditions. The purpose Of the land
show is to exhibit accomplishments
and indicate possibilities, and the
eagerness with which this opportunity
is being seized by those most inter-
ested is proof that the spirit of enter
prise is fully alive in the new oommu-
mites. The land show will surely &C
complish its ends.

Senator Young of Iowa and other
members of congress who addressed
the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress in its closing session, while point
ing out the requirements OF their own
particular sections, emphasized the inn
portance of considering the needs of
the country at large first II was this
very principle that led President Taft
last spring to declare that he would
approve no more piecemeal legislation
for waterways.
The one obstacle that has most inn
peded the progress of this waterways
movement has been the narrow selfish
ness involved in this piecemeal legisla-
ton. 1t is a dam to navigation that
must be effectually and permanently
removed before anything substantial
is done. 1t begins to look now as If It
would be. The speakers at this con-
vention adopted splendid slogan, "A
waterways policy; not a project" 1t
has never been anything but a project
thus far and it has involved more
wire-pulling and log-rolling than any
other single issue of late. This will
have to stop and the men responsible
for it will have to consider general
needs before the movement attains any
real Roadway.
If congress will join with the presi-
I dent in the stand he has taken upon
this subject it will effect the purpose
he has in mind. Mr.. Taft was recently
criticised by some passionate orators
in the st. Louis convention for not
giving this proposition the support
they thought he should. But the truth
is he has been a much more genuine
friend of waterways than the fellows
who have gone about revolving pet
schemes of getting money for this sec
ton or that to the exclusion or injury
of some other districts, which, perhaps,
were more entitled to prior considera-
ton as a means of advancing the gen
eral movement.

Taft and Labor.

President Taft distinctly recon-
mends that congress extend the opera
ton Of the eight-hour law 30 as TO in
clude workmen engaged in private as
well as public shipyards, and II con
gress acts upon this advice il will
serve to clear up a situation about
which there has been all too much
irritation and annoyance, both to labor
and the government. The president
pays 8 stout tribute TO common sense
when he says he cannot see the differ
ence in building ships in public or
private yards when 1t comes to the
matter of this law. That ought TO
crafty union labor very much.
The workman should find much Of
interest 10 himself by a careful study
OF Taft Policies relating TO labor This
recent message 10 congress is strong
with a fair consideration of the inter
ests of union labor. He not only comes
out I'm cordial commentator Of the
eight-hour law aud its general applica-
ton to government work, but he
firmly reiterates his advocacy of a
better system Of employers liability,
a thing labor has been persistently de-
handing. This is one Of the demands
the president has all along declared he
would urge upon congress at this ses-
sion and he has done so. II compre-
hends fair compensation for accidents
and it is hoped that II will appeal to
the sense Of justice of the employer.
The bureau of labor was organized
as a direct result Of President Taft's
insistence for such department as a
means of aseertaining ways OF safe
guarding life and settling disputes be-
tween employer and employe. II has
already proved its utility 1t has
achieved such signal success as to
evoke from the president a special
word of praise in his message. II may
seriously be questioned If the working
man has had as great an amount of
legislation enacted in his behalf, or
proposed by the executive, as in this
administration.

Perkins New Mission.

The announcement of George w.
Perkins that he will retire from the
firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co. to devote
his time to extending the principle
OF profit-sharing and other benefits
for solving the problems between capt.
tai and labor will be received with deep
interest by thinking people. AS one Of
the foremost finaneiers of the country,
his example should be influential with
other capitalists and large employers
of labor. II he gives the same pene-
trating thought and energy to this
new work that has characterized him
in the past, oerainly we may look for
some excellent results.
The action of Mr. Perkins ought to
go a long way toward allaying class
feelings and reassuring labor in its
misgivings about the concern which
capital has in 1t. To be sure, there IS
as much reassuring and conceding to
be done on the side of capital, for in
the large it has been quite as skepticaI
and critical of labor as labor has of it,
The difficulty has been that too much
.selfishness on both sides was allowed
to creep in when better sentiments
were needed. 1t will tend to help this
situation for men of large affairs like
Mr.. Perkins to lay down their big posi-
tions and go out into the broader fields
Of trying to solve the differences that
make the employer and employe un-
friendly, and, having solved them. to
bring these elements together upon a
plane of mutual benefit.
Thus far we evidently have not hit
upon the right principle of solving
labor disputes. II we had we would
not continue to have them so fire.
quently. The strike and boycott are
futile, and yet labor cannot safely give
them up until It and capital find a
common basis of action that will offer
an adequate substitute The ultimate
solution, OF course, will be one that
contemplates exact justice and the
equity of rights It will be a process
of give and take, entirely reciprocal
in its demands and concessions.
The principle OF profit-sharing is
not new, OF course, and yet 1t is not
old in its practice. Whether it will
prove to be the solution of this prob
lem is still a question. But with men
like Mr.. Perkins deyoting themselves
to its application, 1t should not remain
a question long. It commends itself
so far as large industrialism is con-
cerned' first, because it tends to es-
tablish harmony Of interest between
the employed and the employer
Everybody knows that this is one of
the things that must be done. The
very absence Of such harmony, or what
Is more common, the alien II not hos
tile relations existing between the two
is the cause of most of the serious
labor controversies. When both sides
can be made to feel that dispute
whether passive or active. INJURIES
mutual interests they are very likely
to avoid the dispute.

sOciaIIstic Strength Overrated.
Philadelphia Record

When there is really any vital question
OF administration at issue between the two
great parties In Great Britain the socialist
vote practically disappears. 1t is the same
way in the United states. 1t is only at
times when the greater parties fall under
the control of small men and lend their
support to frivolous or dangerous projects
that lesser parties spring into being and
attract supporters. The large socialist
vote In Pennsylvania and in other states
at the late election does not so much indi-
cate a serious tendency toward socialism
as a feeling OF political uncertitude and
disappointment

Philadelphia Bulletin.

Dumps.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
It has remained for BENJAMIN r. Yoakum
OF the Rock Island railroad interests to
take fall out of the conoeit of that part
Of Wall street which is sometimes inclined
to overrate its scope and influence. Com
ing from a man OF the Yoakum type-for
he Is regarded as one OF the captains Of
industry and finRnce-his words carry more
than ordinary weight He says:
After crossing the Mississippi river one
rarely hears the New York stock market
referred to. Trading in securities is not
the business Of the west The people there
are busy with their work and care little
about the stock market. 1t may rise or
fall ten points and few know It, or, at
least, pay attention to IT."
The Rock Iesland chief speaks by the
card, as II We're for he had been making
an extensive tour OF the country through
which his road and it's subsidiary lines
pass. He has seen elevators filled to over
flowing with grain: he has viewed bullying
corn cribs and has held converse with big
farmers, In almost epigrammahc style he
AYERS that there is just now little stock
ticker prosperity in New York, but there is
good deal Of prosperity in the south
west"
Taking the Yoakum expressions at their
face value, the fears Of slump and panic
and the predictions of dire disaster which
have emanated and may be expected 10
emanate from time to time from lairs OF
speculation and from university professors
fade to a great extent, much as a fog dis
solves before sunshine. The volume and
value Of recently harvested crops is a trifle
too large to permit OF the public lying

CHANGES IN THE mon COURT
Instances that Center Attention ON
Coming Appointments.



Kansas City Star
Back In the '70s tho supreme court held
that the state legislatures had the r.ght ia
regulate railroad rates without limitation
In the case Of Mum against Illinois the
court remarked that the extent OF the
compensation becomes a mere fact Of lcgls-
lative discretion" This principle was re-
peated in the case OF Peik against the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad. in which
the court said, when a property has
been clothed with public interest the
legislature may fix a limit to that which
in law shall be reasonable for It's use. The
limit binds the court as we'll as the peo-
Pile"
In his book on Railway Problems" Prof
w. q. Ripley OF Harvard university, who
cites the cases just referred to- points out
that in the next quarter OF century the
court changed its attitude completely. The
reasonableness OF the rate then had be-
come "a question for judicial investiga-
ton" The later decisions all hold that
evidence must be supplied to show that the
rates made by law are reasonable,
All this time the United States constitu-
ton remained the same But in the '7Os
tho rates fixed by the leg slatures were
constitutional and in the sOs they weren't
necessarily so. The change was not In the
constitution but in the court,
These instances are brought up TO call
attention once more to the Importance that
will attach to the appointments to the
supreme bench that will he made by Presi-
dent Taft. The court has become a great
law making body. The views OF the mem
bers to be appointed under the Taft ad-
ministrauoh will affect the legislation Of
this country for years to come. Under. the
circumstances the appointment Of Gov
ernor Hughes as chief justice would be
reassuring TO progressives Of both parties

mercislsm that judges lean too far toward
the big businesses. There Is very little
assertion that the people have been too
well protected by judicial DEGREES. The
president ought to be able 20 find lawyers
or judges In the Eighth district and in
Nebraska who have records for impartial
justice to corporations and people alike
that Is as undisputed and palpable as is
McHughs in behalf Of his corporate
clients. Il would be a bad bit OF politics
for the president to appoint him. It would
add unnecessary fuel to the prairie fires
