TRAIN CREWS WORRYING HOURS
Sixteen-HOur Law Held COnstitu-
tiOnaI by Federal Court.

ST. Louis Republic.
The federal law, making 1t illegal for an
interstate railroad to require more than
sixteen hours of service In any twenty
four hours from Its train crews, is declared
constitutional by Federal Judge Page Nor
ris, sitting in Iowa
Not only Is the principle of the law up
held, but is so construed as TO define what
service must be included as a part OF that
rendered within the sixteen hours. A rail-
road company must not work an engineer
sixteen and one-half hours and, claim ex-
emption on the ground that half an hour
Of the time was devoted by the engineer.
before he started on run, to preliminary
work bearing no resemblance TO an inter-
state function.
The railroads had relied on the supreme
court decision on the employers liability
law to compel a judgment adverse to the
validity OF the train-crew law, but IL must
be remembered that the supreme court has
not yet taken a stand against the prin-
ciple OF that liability ltw. What 1t affirmed
was that faulty APPLICATION was made of
the principle. which infringed on the state
jurisdiction or did not properly differen-
tiate between cases arising in the state
and in the federal jurisdictions
So much was left to the discretion Of
congress by the decision that a new liza
bllity law. Trained in the purpose OF avoid
ing the mistakes of the old, was passed.
II is confidently expected that this new
law Will stand the test of judicial scrutiny
and. indeed, there is little reason to sup
pose that the train-crew law. already up
held in the lower court Will not pass the
higher test TO which 1t no doubt win be
subjected. The trend Of supreme court
interpretation is in that direction.
And when the train-crew law is upheld
by the supreme court. Uncle Sans right
TO prescribe the quality and form OF null
titudinous details OF the business OF the
country will be pretty well established.

Lincoln Journals That somebody is being
worked In Omaha Is evidenced by the
fact that one OF the principal brick paw
ing contractors OF the metropolis has asked
the city council Of Lincoln to allow him
to substitute Buffalo brick blocks for
Purington block and declares that they
ARE just as good" as those from Gales
burg. Yet m Omaha this statemen Is not
even limited at In Lincoln no scheme
would be tolerated which would result In
petitions stating tho kind OF brick TO be
used. One such plan was sprung by an
Omaha contractor two years ago, when o
district in northeast Lincoln was signed UP
for a particular brick. It received short
shift from the council who could see IN
IL the handiwork of the contractor. No
objection is made Of the contractor Sending

Chief Justice Fuller.

The death of Chief Justice Fuller
of the supreme court came unex-
pectedly and therefore as a shock to
the country. despite his ~ years and
infirm health. No premonition OF a
serious condition had come and the
nation was unprepared for his sudden
end.
Chief Justice Fuller adds another
name to list of distinguished Ameri-
cans who have died on the ami
versary of the country's independence.
Three presidents. John Adams,
Thomas jefferson aad James Monroe,
passed away on the Fourth of July,
and Chief Justice Marshall and Presi-
dent Garfield both were expected to
breathe their last on that day, the
former surviving only until July 6,
while Garfield, shot on the second, on
the Fourth asked Ola cabinet officer
standing by, chow many presidents
have died on this day." but fingered
until September 10.
When President Cleveland APP
pointed Melville w. Fuller to the
bench, April 90. 1888, the senate re-
fused to confirm until July 20 Of that
year, as powerful opposition to the
presidents selection arose and party
leaders could not agree for three
months. The anti.Fuher men con-
tended. that he was not the man for
the place; that while he had been a
member OF the Illinois constitutional
convention and had practiced law for
years in Chicago, his training and ex.
psfience for such q service were Of
doubtful quality, and that, further.
more, while he was professed demo
crat, he had never been specially
active for the party's success. But
against all these protestations. Presi
dent Cleveland stood with character
istlc firmness and refused to recede
consequently, after a stubborn confess
that attracted national interest, tn,
appointment was confirmed and be
came effective October 8, 1888.
The new chief justice was to I'll

Louisiana,s New Senator.

The Louisiana legislature today
names Governor J. Y. Sanders tos be
United States senator to succeed the
late Samuel d. McEnery, the veteran
statesman who died suddenly last
week. The legislature was in session
at the time of the senator's death,
and it gave an impressive object les
son of how easy 1t is to elect senators
when the wheels are we'll oiled
On receiving the news OF the sena-
tors death, the Legislature recovered
it's poise with lightning-like rapidity
and dashed into the business of pro-
viding for a successor, though there
we're eight days Of the session left and
until December for the new senator
to take his seat. Friends of Governor
Sanders lost no time in terrifying him
with the proper lightning rods, and
it appears the governors election is
but matter of routine.
Some southerners argue that such
an election fixed up by the party
bosses Is most wise and desirable, but
1t cannot be a popular choice under
such circumstances. Governor San
ders may be ever SO well qualified for
the office, yet his election is irregular
because 1t is the result solely OF an
agreement between the democratic
bosses that control the politics of his
state

WHAT WILL THE CENSUS SHOVE
San Francisco Figures VIII Tell a
story of Pluck.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
The Omaha Bee, commenting on the con-
lecture that San Francisco's population will
considerably exceed 100000. says: III 1t
does 1t will show one Of the most phenom-
email examples of western pluck and prog
ress ever recorded"
Inhabitants of American cities, as q rule,
take the keenest kind Of interest in the
disclosures OF the census, not. as some
critics assume, because they arc possessed
with an overweening admiration for big
ness, but because they realize that the
growth of population is when taken in
connection with other circumstances, q
tolerably sure sign Of progress and pros
perity.
Therefore, when the decennial enumera-
ton shows q marked Increase over the
preceding one, there Is ample reason for
satisfaction; but that feeling is immeasur-
ably intensified when the records show, as
they will In the case Of San Francisco, that
interruption OF the ordinary course of
growth proved powerless to give the city a
backset, but that 1t increased In spite of
its calamity. 49,

Its position in the list of American cities

a peg or two. But that will cut little Toe,

judgment, for Chief Justice Fuller
promptly disappointed those who ex-
pected him to fall short Of the
measure Of the office And now at
the end Of his twenty-five years Of
service the final decision must give
him high rank with other men who
have held that exalted position.
The death Of the chief justice and
the retirement of Associate Justice
Moody will impose the task OF making
two more supreme court appointments
upon President Taft and will natur-
ally arouse acute interest in the prob
able succession among laymen as we'll
as among lawyers.

The Nebraska primary election law.

The Nebraska primary election law,
as doctored by the late but not la
mented democratic legislature, aims to
prevent party conventions from taking
action or making expression for or
against any candidate for nomination
in advance of the primary. This gag
rule is, OF course, null and void, be-
cause unconstitutional, but it is inter-
esting to note that 1t is the democratic
conventions that are first repudiating
and violating the edict of their own
lawmakers. In this land OF free
speech any assemblage Of individuals.
whether as caucus. convention or mass
meeting, can indorse or denounce any
candidate for office as 1t sees fit, sub
ject only to answer for libel or

The power of good advertising can
not be estimated--all, that We know is
that 1t is the greatest force in the
business world today, and that success
cannot be reached without 1t.
The Bee has helped to build up q
good many large enterprises from
small beginnings.
Some of our advertisers who are
using large space today started their
advertising In three to six-inch single
column space. but they kept that adj
vertisement running day In and day
out with constant reiteration Of quality
and price.
Business grew, as business will
when it IL well advertised, and adj
vertising space grew with It, From a
small space, from little "hole-in-the
WALL store, they have grown into two
and three and even eight-story bust
ness houses and every one of them will
tell you that they could not have come
up to the top without advertising.
There are at least seYenty-five mer--
chants In Omaha whom The Bee could
help, who could commence advertising
as these men did and make a success
OF 1t If they would advertise intel
ligently, truthfully, day after day. and
back up their advertising with the
goods.
