A HARTMAN vINDICAT1oN.

Boston Transcript: The circuit court
which has Just sustained the Hartman
merger, holds that the Union Pacific was
not competitor with the Southern Pa
cific. But surely the court will not under
take to maintain that the Union Pacific
was "a poor relation?"
st. Louis Globe Democrat: The late Mr.
Hartman is also INDICATED in the decision
unfolding the Union Pacific-S Southern Pa
cific merger. And were he still in the
flesh his exultation would be voiced Just
as loudly, and no more loudly, than 1t is
being voiced right now.

The Test for the Bench.

Our old friend. Edgar Howard, must
be dreadfully excited to devote nearly
two columns of his valuable space to
warding off a new menace threatening
the palladium of our liberties. "Is it
true" he asks, that in choosing a
man to occupy the almost sacred office
of supreme judge of Nebraska his fit
ness for the place must be determined
by his attitude regarding the white
slave trainer" And explaining the
cause of his alarm, he declares that
on a recent visit to Omaha in company
with Judge Albert, who is suspected
of having a design to stand as a candi-
date for the democratic nomination,
he was informed by some nameless
statesman that no man could be
elected to the supreme bench who was
In sympathy with the Albert law.
Which moves Edgar in his indignation
to declare that If Judge Albert would
only signify his willingness to run,
'all He'll and all Omaha could not pre-
L.
In a nutshell, our old friend, Edgar
Howard, protests, and protests rightly,
against making opposition to the AL
bert law a test of fitness for the su-
preme bench, and then, reversing
himself, in the same breath insists
that ut is high time that the demo-
cratic party in Nebraska should cast
about for candidates who hold Judge
Albert's views on this important
question"
Now void on the supreme bench
may be yawning for the author of the
Albert law, and he may have qualifca-
tions to fill it, but we submit that IL
he were elected a supreme Judge, and
the question of upholding or annulling
the law which bears his name should
come before the court, all the rules of
professional etiquette would freuuire
the author Of the law to step aside
and let the other judges render a de-
cision without his participation. We
submit. further, that a man may be
heart and soul in sympathy with the
spirit and purpose of the Albert law
and still be mighty poor timber for
the supreme bench. We submit that
the real object is. or should be, to
elect judges to dispense impartial JUS
tice and to construe the law as It is
without fear or favor-judges who are
competent and conscientious and will
perform their duties as their official
oaths require-and that If republicans
and democrats both present judicial
tickets made up of worthy candidates
neither the Albert law nor any other
untried law will be pretudged or mis-
judged.

French Cabinets and Problems

On the day that M. BRAND left the
premiership Of France his rugged old
war minister, General Brun, died and
very short time before M. Monis,
Brands successor, resigns, Minister
Berteaux of his cabinet is killed by an
aeroplane, which also Injuries the pre-
mier. Neither death, however, had any
bearing on the failure of the re-
spective cabinets. The Monis cabinet
is said to have failed, as it was ex-
pected to, of its own lack of skill
and wisdom. The premier, himself,
was never regarded as equal to the
responsibilities that have accumulated
as a result of the succession OF fail
ures, including those of the brilliant
Delcasse and Clemenceau and BRAND,
covering a period Of less than two
years.
Clemenceau, in whom France and
other countries have ample conf
dence, has been mentioned for the
premiership again, but M. Caileaux,
who was requested by President Fal-
Heres to form the new cabinet, will
probably be the man. Whoever it may
be will be confronted with problems
grave enough to call for larger powers
than have been exercised for many
years. None of the vexatious ques-
lions, 1t may be noted, that have fig
ured in the downfall of these various
ministries has actually been brought
to a successful solution, so that they
all rise up now in some form to add
their weight to the burden of the posi-
ton.
The public will be inclined to
await results before passing judgment
finally on the new premier II ex-
pected so much Of BRAND, the social
list, and received so little, that 1t will
60 slow in venturing predictions again.
BRAND was unable to control even his
own party. let alone adjust any Of
the national differences confronting
France. Since then these differences,
with the Morocco situation and the
trouble in the champagne district ag-
gravated, have grown rather than
diminished. Such crises as these are
enough to tempt President Fallieres to
think of resigning, "for a rest" as
was rumored some months ago.

A ROsewater Guide.

In commemoration of the fortleth ami
versary of its first publication The Omaha
Bee on Sunday issued most interesting
and well prepared historical edition. Much
OF II is devoted to a reminiscent review of
the career of its founder, the late Edward
Rosewater, and a recital of his long war
fare for better things, socially, CONNER
cially and politically in Nebraska. The
memory of Mr.. Rosewater's struggle
against entrenched corruption and cor
porate privilege is q priceless heritage to
The Bee and should inspire 1t to unceaslng
zeal In the cause of right. His name Is
stamped indelibly on the history of this
middle west. He was pioneer In the
cause Of political progress, which now has
the support Of right thinking and unselfish
men everywhere. He built up a great
newspaper property and left 1t to his sons
that they might continue in the battle
which he waged in behalf OF the common
good Whenever they are in doubt of a
policy TO pursue they should turn to the
files Of The Bee and see what their father
did under similar circumstances.

Canada BusH with Tariffa.


Evidently this is Canada's busy
tariff season. 1t develops that the
reciprocity compact It is negotiating
with the United States is but one OF
many trade agreements 1t has on hand
or has lately consumated. It nego-
tiated q commercial treaty with
France in the fall OF 1907, which be-
came effective early in 1910. Inter
mediate rates and special tariffs were
under this treaty applied to certain
French products. Similar preferential
rates of duty were applied to many
other countries. under the most
favored-nation arrangement. The
countries thus included were Argen-
tine. Austria-Hungary. Bolivia, Co
lumbia, Denmark. Japan. Norway,
Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and Venezuela. Belgium, Italy and
the Netherlands were admitted to the
advantage OF the intermediate rates
on a limited number Of articles only
within the last few weeks. This
spring Canada removed a surtax from
all German products In return for the
German conventional rates on a list
Of Canadian articles and since then
German goods entering Canada have
paid merely the general customs tariff.
