Slaughter of Human Beings.

The reports of the trolley car col
lision near Fort Wayne, Ind, are ap-
palling Out of sixty persons in one
car every one was killed or injured
the list of dead being thirty-nine. The
other car was empty.
AS usual in such cases, those who
ought TO be responsible are evaslve in
their explanations. Somebody made
a mistake" one of the carmen said.
Then it appears upon investigation the
mistake was in exceeding normal
speed limits. The men in charge of
the empty car turned on their full
power. attempting to makesa certain
distance and reach a switch before the
other car came, The collision was
the result

Gus to be passed over. The some

fail to do its duty. 1t is another

The School Bond Issue.

Much heat is being engendered in
the discussion over the proposed issue
of bonds by the school district of
Omaha for the erection and compile
ton of new school buildings. This is
unfortunate, for if any question of
school government SHOULD be APP
preached calmly and judicially it is
that of the public schools
The Board of Education and the
superintendent of public schools have
prepared very ambitious program,
and it may we'll be questioned If they
are entirely justified in their proceed
ings. On the other hand, the opposi-
ton is mistaken in its effort to prevent
the issuance of any bonds. The city
is pledged to provide properly for the
care of it's children while they are re-
ceiving their educational training at
the expense of the public. A number
of Omaha school buildings are of the
obsolete type and should be replaced.
Some of them are positively danger
Gus and others are merely temporary
makeshifts. The shifting of popula-
ton in Omaha during the past two or
three years has brought about prob
lens that are pressing in the matter
of properly housing the schools. The
needs of the High school are made
quately provided for. 1t is not enough
to say that certain fads and frills of
an educational nature are being accom-
modated to the exclusion of other
branches. The public schools must be
kept abreast of educational progress.
and to do this naturally increases the
cost of maintaining the schools 1t is
certainly wise and prudent to place
some limit on the policy of introducing
new features into the curriculum, but
it is not good management to bind up
the system into a strait-jacket Some
temperate consideration of the ques-
ton will doubtless lead to better un-
derstanding.l Portions of the school
boards program are indisputably
necessary. This should have fair con-
sideration and the balance should be
deliberated without passion.

This might properly be called the
Age of Advertising
Advertising has helped to bald
some of the biggest business successes
in the country 1t sells eastern goods
in the west and western goods in the
east; il has brought north and south
closer together commercially. 1t has
done more to educate the people in
values than any other one force.
The advertising columns of the daily
newspapers are the family market
place.
People no longer 60 about looking
for the things they want-they go to
their newspapers as to information as
TO where they are to be found.
Women, before they stars on Shop
ping tour, read the advertising news
in their home paper, learn exactly
where to find what they want aid go
there to get it-because it saves time;
because they have learned that they
can depend upon duNSIIkslnB III Ihs W
live up to what they publish, that they
will not be asked cent more than the
goods are worth, that they will be
given fair and courteous treatment.
Merchants tell me that many women
bring the advertisement with them
and make their purchases from the
list of articles advertised.
If you will consider the question a
minute, the reason for this public in
terest in advertising will be clear 10
you.
The first interest of average men
and women are to clothe themselves
and their children as well as possible,
to have the best and purest of foods
on their tables, to furnish their homes
as comfortably and pleasingly as pos
sible, to give their children every ad-
vantage of education, culture and
pleasant surroundings that they can
afford.

lives are shifted out in a moment be-
cause some speed-crazed employe tries

chine. We imagine the men at the head
OF these corporations. themselves, will
admit that. after all, public criticism
is none too severe. II has done a vast
amount of good, especially with refer
.ence to steam railroads, which are en-
gagged in a systematic effort to keep
down the list of accidents. They are
making splendid Roadway. and the
electric lines should fall in with the
movement.
After all the explanations of the
Fort Wayne horror are offered, we
still are confronted by the fact that
there was no excuse, and therefore no
explanation. for It.. 1t was useless,
needless slaughter of human beings
that would have been avoided had all
the carmen been thinking as much OF
the safety of the passengers as one, or
maybe more, we're thinking of break
ing a speed record. Have we not gone
about far enough with this speed
mania? Will we not ellow such
catastrophies as this to check us in
our hysteria? II is not confined to
the rails of electric or steam roads
either.

PERILOUS COMBINATIONS.
ExtOrtinE Inflated Prices for Neces-
sRries of Life.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
There can be no difference of opinion
as to the baneful, the injurious, nay,
they can be classed as criminal, effects
of combinations formed to restrict the
supplies of food of the people of any
district, any nation or any continent.
The fact that these combinations are
classed as commercial or trade associa-
lions gives them no license to produce
their excessive profits at the cost of our
citizens, either collectively or individu-
ally.
For more than year past our people
have offered protest after protest
against the exorbitant prices of living
in the land of plenty, but their protests
as yet have produced no relaxation in
prices for supplies of the staple articles
of their daily food.
1t has grown to be a menace TO our
entire industrial situation, to our peace
and prosperity in the cities of our land
and to our ability to transact business
abroad in the outputs of our manufac-
lures.
That these combinations to exact UNI
due profits do exist there is full evidence,
and yet despite the activity of state and
national officials, ma relief from their
exactions has yet come to the masses
of the people.
Dear food makes dear production and
finally kills business that employs
large numbers of people.
Dear foods may exist under natural con-
ditions such as are found in unproductive
isolated districts. as mining camps, pioneer
stations or in countries swept by virulent
disease where inhabitants are unable to OBJ
tain supplies.
That the people of the United States, in
the very midst of the harvests, in the very
center of the most productive region of the
globe, amply furnished with transportation
facilities, free from pestilence full of
energy and vigor, are held up daily by
trade combinations, forcing them to pay
unprecedented prices for the products Of
the land they live in, is almost past belief
Yet that this is the case the household
bills of every family in the cities of the
union give full and direct testimony.
1t is high time, full time, that the food
supplies of our people he freed from the
control of these combinations which are
paralyzing the Industrial population of the
country and threatening the peace and
prosperity of all classes through their
| avaricious exactions

that they should read the advertising
column of their home newspaper for

advertising because it gives them news

Not a Political Question.

One of the reasons urged by the OPP
position to Senator Aldrich in the pop
ulist committee consultation was that
endorsement by the populists OF re-
publican candidate for governor might
possibly effect the legislative reap
portionment, which is due at the COM
ing session of the legislature.
This reason is so far-fetched and so
unsubstantiaL in its general nature
that it would not ordinarily be given
any consideration, but there is always
the danger in a campaign such as is
now being waged of serious issues be-
ing determined by trifies. For that
reason ii should be made very plain
to the voters of the state that the long
delayed reapportionment for legisla-
tive purposes is not a party issue in
any sense of the word. Both the great
parties are pledged, directly and indi-
rectly, to redistrict the state along
such lines as will give to the people
the representation they are entitled to.
This ought to be accomplished without
any question of partisan politics enter
ing into it's consideration 1t is
merely a matter of justice, and as such
should be approached by the legisla-
tors for the purpose solely OF doing
what is right by the people of the
state
