by the thaw, fell from the top of the
quarry 80 feet up and struck him
souarely in the small of the back,

On the theory that small favors
are thankfully received" Omaha
and immediate vicinity probably
should express appreciation of the
rain showered upon us at last, but
it is not worth going to any consid-
cradle lengths over it. The precipi-
tation came to only II of an inch
for the entire fall of several hours
It was little more than drizzle, after
all. But it was the heaviest drizzle
we have had in such a long time,
while other sections we're being
drenched in good rains, that it
brought relief and pleasure, and
some benefit. 1t viii serve in its
small way to refresh the grass in the

of course, was in laying the dust It's
next was in clarifying the atmosphere
and it's last, let us hope. anyway,

Missouri Pacific Deficit.

Settlement of old claims and judg-
ment suits accumulated during the
years is reported as figuring heavily
in the Missouri Pacifics 100000
deficit. Claims and Judgment suits
come largely as a result of accidents
on the railroad and many accidents
are due to impaired roadbed, rolling
stock or the lack of proper safety de-
vices. The Gould system of railroads,
especially on the Missouri Pacific,
has been to get the dividends and let
the improvements take care of them
selves, or, at least, come in for second
airy consideration. Practicing this
system for years wrought such a de-
terioration in the physical condition
in many places and to entail almost
endless trouble for the company and
and much suffering for its patrons.
How far this Gould system of OPP
Grafton is responsible for this present
deficit of more than $5,000,00
perhaps cannot be accurately stated,
but we see from the financial state
ment, itself, showing that old claims
and judgments form a big item in the
deficit, that it plays a vital part.
The case of the Missouri Pacific,
therefore, may not be taken by the
railroads generally as typical of con-
ditions and as indicative of earnings
at this time, though everyone is free
to admit that railroads, like other
business concerns just now, are ex-
periencing some recession. It is to
be hoped that the force of this lesson
will not be lost on the new manage
ment Of the Missouri Pacific. which
seems determined to get down to a
more solid basis.

Mr.. Stnhh's Examnle

When j. c. Stubs, trafic director
for years of the great Hartman sys-
tenn of railroads, recognized as per-
haps the worlds wizard in railroad
traffic matters, retires from service.
January 1 he will leave the hum and
buzz of business and repair to the
quieter precincts of Ashland, o., his
native town, to live the remainder
of his days.
Ashland is not a resort city; not
on the coast, nor in the mountains,
nor even on the lake, and it is only
small town, a good enough little
place, though never one that would
ordinarily attract men of the Stubs
caliber. But Mr.. Stubs is going
back to Ashland because 1t was his
birthplace and the home of his
youth. 1t was there--not in Chi
cago, New York, San Francisco or
anywhere else-he saw life at its
beginning for him; he found its
fragrance sweetest, it's joys bright
est, its aspirations most lofty So
of Ashland his memories must be
richest and dearest. Somewhere
about Ashland must be the old
swimming hole" where Johnnie"
Stubs and the other boys swung off
from twining wild grape vine into
the fresh water below. Somewhere
must be the little red school house
on the HILL" where this traffic king
got his first cowhiding and intro
duction TO the three RS. little more
alluring than the rod of correction
Somewhere, also, must be the old
ball ground, the old orchard where
the boys picked the Early Junes and
paid for it after with aching
stomachs; some of the old playmates
and sweethearts and other faces and
figures dear to a really true heart.
What is II that could have
prompted q man like Mr.. Stubs to
choose his old home for his last
home, above all the great. gay. at
tractive places he might live-what
but these old memories, these old
landmarks Of other days, days when
life was not made up of intricate
trafic problems and complex rate
schedules? The long, strenuous
years Of struggle with a rushing,
headlong world have evidently not
driven all the sentiment out OF this
big mans heart. It is fne. inspir-
ing example he sets. To take back
TO old Ashland his life OF seasoned
experiences, his trophies of victory,
his name and his fame as one OF the
intellectual giants In the great busi-

Morgan's wonderful score.

Senator Morgan OF Alabama was in a
class by himself. His record is not one
of continuous talking, but rather of
sectional speeches, and his score is I'M
rivalled in congressional annals. On the
Panama canal question alone, during the
extra session, one speech, delivered in
sections, filled ninety-seven pages Of the
Congressional Record, making a total of
3Ss.OOO words. This was in addition to
several speeches delivered on the same
subject during the regular session, which
closed March l. 1903. This speech, the last
Of his life, was rightly regarded as ono
OF the most remarkable ever deliver I'd,
not so much because of its contents,
but because Of the age Of the man VINO
delivered it. Mr.. Morgan was then 70
years old and although he was in eX-
cellent health and mad a vigorous con-
stitution TO speak four or five hours
a day for five days is an ordeal which
few men in the full vigor of early man
hood could endure. II was also remark
able because the senator used very few
notes He made frequent references to
published reports and other documents
from which he quoted freely, but the
speech was purely extemporaneous, and
the senator did not have even skeleton
OF the topics to guide him. In the last
four years of his life. Senator Morgan s
speeches, writings and compilations on
the canal totaled 1855, 800 words, a stu
pendous Literary achievement, surprising

harmon, Hoke Smith and Bryan.
Hoke Smith has come out with a
public endorsement of Governor
Harmon for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination, indicating that
his former fellow cabinet member
under Mr.. Cleveland is his choice
for that honor
Mr. Bryan months ago named
Hoke Smith as one Of several demo-
Gratis he would be willing to support
for the presidency And the world
knows what Mr.. Bryan thinks of
Governor Harmon, whom he COM
msnded to prepare to stand aside.
Where does this lead, II not into
a labyrinth OF confusion in the dem
ocratic camp? At the very outset,
indeed. before the starting place has
been reached in the next campaign,
the lines are becoming hopelessly
tangled. The question that natu-
rally suggets itself is this: Were
the qualities that drew Mr Bryan to
Hoke Smith strong enough to bind
his support in spite of the Georgian s
approval of Harmon, conceding that
Smiths endorsement Of the Ohioan
does not necessarily mean his own
elimination from the race? Or, on
the other hand, is Mr. Bryan's con-
tempt for Harmon stronger than his
admiration of Smith. and therefore
sufficient, in this case, to turn him
against Smith for endorsing him?
II is of interest to note in passing
that here is another conspicuous
southern man preferring Harmon to

FOR PROTECTION
what Must Be Expected in Event of
Democratic Success.
Minneapolis Journal.


Senator Cummins of Iowa distrusts the
democratic party as much as he ever did
and would not risk a democratic tariff
He declares himself as much a protec-
ZIONIST in principle as he ever was. even
more so now than formerly and he
rightly considers the democracy to be
-protectionist or anti-protectionist
True, he says that in his view some
other things are even more important
than the tariff, but his belief that the
tariff is essential to the welfare Of the
country is by no whit diminished on that
account.
Senator Cummlns correctly estimates
the democratic party, Should the de-
mocracy elect president and a congress
next year. the first objective Of their at
tack would be the tariff They would de-
vote themselves from the beginning to a
democratic reconstruction Of the sched-
ules, confident that a democratic tariff
would operate TO cure all ills OF which
our body economic complain.
A democratic victory would not spell
progressive reforms. For the reason that
the democracy would essay first Of all
to reform the tariff, and. reforming that,
they would bring such disaster upon the
country as to precipitate a reaction, thus
side-tracking every other reform Of their
contemplation.
