NEW YORK, October o1.-With her
thirty passengers heartily thankful that
they were able to set foot on land once
more after passing safely through the
thick of the tropical hurricane which
swept the gulf and the Caribbean with
almost record fury, the Southern Pacific
steamer Comus reached port today from
New Orleans four days late.
The Comus left New Orleans Wednes-
day, October II, and had hardly got
out into the gulf when the storm broke.
c. De F.. Moiyneaux, secretary to c. w.

AS result Of charges made at the milk
hearing before the Commissioners yester-
day, to the effect that milk pasteuriza-
ton trust exists with ramifications broad
sast, the Department of Justice today in
stituted an investigation.
II. o. Trundle and Corbin Thompson
representatives Of milk dealers in the
District, Maryland and Virginia. declared
that a certain class of rich people in
New York and elsewhere are behind the
the products they sell.
Gave List of Names.
When called upon to be specific in their
allegations. the dealers showed no hesita-
ton in submitting a list of names Of the
men accused of financing the trust.
They admitted they were unable to tell
just where the 10000, 900 capital of the
alleged giant combine is centered, but
promised to produce more facts later.
This and other statements prompted the
government bureau to take hand in the
matter.
For several weeks the district attorney s
office has been engaged in an investigation
of the charges that a milk trust existed
in the District of Columbia.
Inquiry Is Still On.
District Attorney Wilson said today the
inquiry was still in progress. but he de-
clned to say just what information had
been obtained.
The government experts from the De-
partment of Agriculture who testified at
yesterdays hearing secuted the idea that
a milk trust existed in the United States,
and several of them, while testifying re-
garding the merits of the tuberculin test
and pasteurization, asserted that 1t was
almost impossible for SO large a combine
TO exist and still be SO Intangible.
DR.. E. .. Schroeder caused some Of the
spectators to smile when he turned to the
milk dealers and said he had not been ap
preached by the emissaries Of the trust,
although he had always been a champion
of pasteuriZation.

Land Law Changes.

The bill offered the senate, placing
in the hands of the president the right
to withdraw any public lands from
entry, for the purpose Of pursuing a
general and comprehensive plan Of
conservation, is so simple and SO prom
Using that 1t ought not to be subject to
any serious opposition. Senator Nelson
of Minnesota has the credit for It's III
thorshfp, although reported from the
committee as a committee bill. In its
terms 1t empowers the president to
withdraw from entry any land whose
withdrawal in his judgment will best
serve public interest, such withdraw
ais to be reported by the secretary Of
the interior to the next session Of con
gress.
This bill is along the line of Presi-
dent Taft's recommendations. Such a
measure will enable the executive to
pursue unhampered the policy of cor
servation inaugurated by Mr.. Roose-
welt by mere executive order without
specific authority from congress. 1t
will obviate such cases as that of the
Alaskan coal lands now being investi-
gated by a special committee; the dan
ger of valuable power sites being en-
tered by private concerns will be pre-
vented and the general work of the
reclamation service Will be materially
assisted. Forest preservation will be
promoted by the bill and every form Of
land grabbing be checked.
The chief opposition to the measure,
which will come from some Of the re-
dictionary senators. is that IT takes
from congress the right to withdraw
the lands from entry and vests it in
the president, This feature most
commends It to the public. While CON
gress might act wisely, it usually acts
very deliberately, and more often
doesn't act at all. Under such condi-
tons the interests of the public might
suffer irreparably from inaction.
With the power in the hands Of an
executive, fully appraised of the facts
and possessed of the ability and de-
termination of Mr.. Taft. for example,
the action needed would be immedi-
ately taken. and the only loser would
be the speculators.

Taking the Wrong Tack.

Omcers Of the Illinois M~anufactur-
ers' association, who have been So
Letting the president and congress TO
do something TO relieve corporations
from the publicity clause of the cor
poration income a Law pending ap-
peal to the courts to test the validity
Of the tax, have been pursuing most
ill-advised tactics. Unable to con
vince the president by force Of argu-
ment that this, to them, Objectionable
feature OF the law should be abro-
gated, they have undertaken to claim
special consideration on the ground
that men interested in these corpora
lions contributed to the republican
campaign fund during the presidential
year. The secretary OF the Manufac-
turers' association has even gone so
far as to intimate that solicitation of
campaign contributions from the ON
GERS of corporations carried an i'm
piled. promise to favor them in Just
such emergencies as this.
It strikes US that this is not the
kind Of talk to do the corporations
any good, and certainly not the kind
of talk to impress the president and
congress with the justice Of their de-
mand. 1t is a matter Of record that
the appeals Of the republican cam
paign managers for contributions to
defray the legitimate expenses of the
presidential campaign expressly re-
minded the recipients that by Mr..
Taft's personal reaues; the treasurer
OF the committee had put himself I'M
der the provisions Of the publicity law
Of the state Of New York and that no
contributions from corporations would
be received. Doubtless individual
contributors to the republican cam
paign fund we're interested in corpor-
ations of many kinds, as were also the
contributors to the democratic fund.
But those who helped the republican
cause did SO because they had been
enjoying a prolonged era Of unprece-
dented prosperity under republican
administration and republican poll
oies and they did not want continu-
ance OF this prosperity jeopardized by
a change to the democratic party
loaded down as it was with a candi-
date who lacked their confidence and
a platform full of vagarIes and isms.
The business interests of the country
had had a test Of what democratic
victory meant and recollections of the
panic and depression of 1898 warned
them against another trial.
Representatives of corporations are
entitled to a hearing and to fair treat
ment at the hands of the president,
but the ~pretense that they are entitled
to anything more because of alleged
campaign contributions is utterly
without foundation.

Omaha Does Fairly Well.

And now 1t transpires that Omaha,

ings instituted by the governor under

for Omaha only? Or does 1t apply
equally throughout the state? II the

COST OF "NOBLE" HUSBANDS.
What the Gould Estate Put UD for
Annals First Title.
CbI,aoo ToAoroaoo.

The latest figures on what It costs an
American woman to- have a mobile Eurbp-
can husband around the house are given
to the public i'm a statement made by
George j. Gould as one of the receivers
for the estate OF his sister, Anna.
Unfortunately, even these statistics are
far from being complete. They give little
more than the amount Of debts which the
Count de ,Castellane piled up for his wife
during the period Of his marriage-approxi-
mateiy $e,00O,O 900.
OF this deficit left as a legacy of the
counts undying affection the sum of 49,
SS5, 1880 was paid at the time OF the
countess marriage to the Prince de Sagan.
The remainder-32,1 IA, 5 .5o-is now being
paid In installments by an annual deduc-
ton Of $275,OoO from the princess income.
1t goes without saying that the debt of
100000 does not represent the total ex-
pense of keeping the count. The entire an
nnal income was of coure spent every year
during the eight or nine years of wedlock.
And of this the count no doubt managed
to account for the greater part.
II there were an accurate tabulation of
the counts expensiveness by a skilled ac-
countant it would unquestionably be found
that he has cost, all in all, up wards of
$4,000 900.
There is no reason, however, to infer
that this is the minlmum for which q
noble husband can be maintained for the
period In question. According to the fig
ures, the present income of the Princess
de Sagan, after the deduction OF the an
nual. amount required to entinguish her
debts in eight years, is about $500, 200.
Now, 1t is a well known fact that with
this diminished income the former Coun--
tess de Castellane is living in apparent
comfort with her present husband, the
Prince de Sagan. And 1t must be clear to
even the most careless observer that IL a
prince can be supported on 5000, 900 a year,
a count, in case OF necessity, could be
maintained on a good deal less.
In point OF fact. 1t is higely probable
that the Count de Castellane would be
very glad at present to make matrimonial
arrangements involving a comparatively
small annual outlay in his behalf. The
meager income which his cousin is helping
to enjoy no doubt appears Of regal pro-
portions to him just now.
The only conclusion Of a general nature
that can be drawn in this connection is
that counts n princes cost just as much
as they can. II there is much money In
sight they plunge into it with both hands.
But IL there is comparatively little they
manage to be fairly we'll satisfied
This conclusion should prove of particular
interest and value to those contemplating
an investment in the foreign title line. II
acted on 1t should save American parents
and heiresses a tidy sum.

The Work of Paving.

Preliminary steps are now being
taken for the work Of paving that is
to be done in Omaha tile coming
season. AS in previous years, every
thing holds out bright prospects for
getting down to business early and
proceeding without interruption. But
the experience we have had year after
year with our streets torn up all sum-
mer and work half finished on the ad-
vent of cold weather cautions more
vigorous measures en- the part OF the
city authorities to make the contrac-
tors come to time. We should not for
get how damaging to Omaha the dila-
tory progress of our street paving
proved to be last year. For weeks and
months our business thoroughfares
were piled high with paving blocks
and some of the most needed arteries
of travel completely closed, while the
contractors, with their contracts safely
in their pockets, consulted their own
convenience. Omaha is getting to be
a metropolitan city and paving con
tractors should be held to a time limit
for commencing the work and com
plotting it, and be restricted from tear
ing up more than two blocks of a thor
oughfare at one time as required of
them in other cities.

SURPLUS LEGISLATION.
with Fewer Enforceable LAWS Would
Not the Country BE Hnppier4-

New York Sun.
There is infinite variety In the forms of
harmful legislation. Bills become avs that
are needless because they have to do with
matters covered by previous legislation.
Bills are introduced to meet or with the
hope OF meeting, purely temporary condi-
lions. In other cases lawmaking is Of the
experimental sort, based on theories that
have nothing whatever to do with practical
experience. He must be a manifest crank
who Is not able to have his pet hobby in
the way of improving humanity made the
subject of a bill, or part of a bill, in the
course of the session.
The recklessness Of lawmakers is but a
manifestation Of the superstition Of legis-
lation, that Is to say, the belief in the
efficacy OF legislation, as such. Some of
the sanest men and women in the com
munity cannot avoid this form Of credulity.
Just as in equity there is supposed to be a
remedy for every wrong, II 1t can be found,
30 they imagine that every Ill in the body
polite may be rishted II only the proper
law is made, the proper machinery fitted
together.
1t is astonishing, however, to note how
little even these enthusiasts care about
a law once 1t has been put upon the statute
book. Those who were full Of enthusiasm
for the act of legislative creation are quite
careless whether there is any attempt at
enforcement. Indeed, in many cases, you
might imagine hat such superstitious legis-
lative zealots imagined nat a law was a
sort of sacred relic radiating improving
influences without any attention from any
body.
As long as it is known that there is no
immediate and imperative relation between
Omaha daily bee., 1910-02-05

lawmaking and the enforcement of the
laws so made, legislators, for the sake OF
obliging friends. for the sake Of b%luffing,
for the sake OF creating false Impressions
in the minds OF their constituents, for the
sake of making cheap capital for their or
ganlzation or party. will go on working
for the passage OF bills that ought never
to have been introduced, much less to have
reached the point where executive approval
or disapproval was necessary.
With fewer, vastly fewer, laws, and all
those enforceable and enforced, this COM
monwealth would soon discover to what
slight extent its security and happiness
were dependent on legislation. ~
