sPrKrNa THE LUMBER TRUST.


Washington Post: Watch the Lumber
trust take to the tall timbersl
New York Post: whether viewed from
legal or from an economic standpoint,
this government suit has interest Of the
very highest order.
ST. Louis Republic: After the start of
that suit. the Lumber trust ought 20 be
good and stop sicking the farmers onto
the reciprocity agreement.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: II lumber in
terests are not in monopolistic combinations
there is not the slightest danger that any
thing unreasonable will happen TO them.
Brooklyn Eagle: Just as soon as the
Lumber trust is dissolved the home build
ing boom will be started to help the sub
sidiary companies, and the dealers subsidi-
airy to them. Dissolutions are costly.
Springfield Republican; This government
prosecution of an alleged combination Of
lumber producers and dealers is calcu-
lated at least to lame one of the forces
making powerful opposition to Canadian
reciprocity, 1t is to be welcomed for this
u for no other purpose.
Indianapolis News: II the government
succeeds in the present proceeding 1t will
attack other combinations that control the
marketing of the necessaries Of life As
1t Is largely through such combinations that
the people are oppressed, we shall all hope
that a way may be found to limit their
operations.

LOrimer Again and Yet.

That the Lorimer case is not a
closed incident, and will not down,
must be pretty we'll demonstrated
with three different sets of resolutions
before the senate for reinvestigation.
II only goes to show the irresistible
force of public sentiment refusing to
be satisfied with the former finding
and the vote of generation by the
senate by a majority OF four.
All that has developed in the form
Of new evidence since the close of the
last session of congress has tended to
discredit the senate's action in not
holding his title to his seat faulty.
The consensus Of opinion is that new
investigation will reverse the ruling
Of the last senate, and that Lorimer's
tenure is good only so long as his
friends succeed in staving OF Anal
action.
The unfortunate part of the new
turn in the Lorimer affair is the I'M
disguised effort to seize upon it for
party advantage and political capital.
The case ought to be decided strictly
on the law and the evidence. but a
threefold attempt to control the in
vestigation is discernible by the re-
publican regulars, the republican in
surgents and the democrats, each in
spired by a desire to get some prestige
out Of it, or, at any rate, to prevent
anyone else from getting prestige out
of it. So far as the public is con-
cerned, it would like to have the
truth, and the whole truth. about the
Lorimer election as soon as possible,
and then wipe it of the boards.

Belated and 1nsincere.

Our amiable democratic contem-
porary explodes with choice lot Of
explosives over the election of the
president Of the city council, "palpa-
bly, the result Of deal entered into
with the republican members by three
democratic members a good while
ago." The three democrats who have
been in the combine which has been
running the city council now for two
years come in for a scoring as traitors
gone back on their party pledges, and
entirely lacking in good faith.
All this, however, is belated and in
sincere, because this councilmanic
combine has from the first been an
open secret and had the sympathy and
encouragement, and frequently the
outspoken approval, of the World
Herald. The three democrats 1t now
denounces represent the element of
local democracy with which that news
paper trains, while the other three
have, been allied with the Dahlman-
ties, whom 1t has antagonized. When
the same combine made other presi-
dents OF the council and put men in
the vacancies in the Office Of city at
torney and city comptroller, over the
protests of the same democratic coun-
cilmen whose party loyalty Is now
praised, it had no objection because
the benefciaries were democrats. In
throwing such fits on this occasion its
action must be prompted only by re-
greet that the combines choice for
once is a republican.

An Innovation in Colonies.

Governor Aldrich OF Nebraska is not
the only new chief executive to create
an innovation respecting his Official
STAFF of colonies. He has not APP
pointed one, taking the view that this
branch of the government is a super
numerary. Governor Hooper, the
young republican who presides over
the affairs of Tennessee, however, has
not only gathered about him a stan,
but has gone outside of party and
state lines to do so. He has appointed
democrats as we'll as republicans and
has named a citizen of Texas as one
of his colonies. He is one Of the most
rantankerous democrats in the Lone
Star state, too-George NJ. Bailey of
the Houston Post.
This is an innovation which, un-
doubtedly, will attract attention from
other governors. 1t is easier to see
why Governor Hooper should name
democrats and republicans both to
membership on his stan than to ac-
count for his going outside his state.
for he was elected by democrats and
republicans alike who had determined
to rebuke the old Patterson gang in
the state. But why he should issue
commission to the Texas editor is
not so clear, especially since he
boosted for the Paterson crowd and
knocked Hooper. Perhaps the reason
lies in the fact that Bailey Is a news
paper man and Governor Hooper APP
preciates the impossibilty of ade-
quately rewarding members of that
profession this side of heaven. In
the governors letter OF appointment.
however, is subtle suggestion that
this Office is TO placate Bailey, who has
the habit of lambasting Tennessee
and South Carolina numerically in
his paper and Of booming everything
In Texas as the best, even to the
onions and mosquitoes and red-haired
widows.
1t is to be hoped that the unregen-
crate democratic editor will find time
to mingle with his fellow colonies and
imbibe little simon-pure republican
ism for his own, If not for their edi-
fication and salvation.

Graphing a Tough Problem.

Governor Aldrich has made the first
move to enforce the newly enacted
Albert law by oflcially calling upon
the county attorneys in this and other
counties to see that It is put into eff
feet at once. This law contemplates
the complete eradication OF the social
evil by the use OF power OF injunction
against public resorts, and in theory
Is the most drastic legislation on this
subject that has been proposed. The
law nearest akin to 1t is that enacted
two years ago in Iowa, where there is
still a decided difference of opinion
as to what results 1t has produced.
The social evil is naturally the most
acute in the larger cities. and efforts
along the line OF the Albert law have
almost invariably simply scatteredVhe
undesirables previously confined
within a red light district What the
result will be In Omaha, assuming
that vigorous law enforcement pro-
gram is carried out, Is yet to be seen.
We believe the problem must be at
tackled more with preventive meas
ures, or at least that preventive meas
ures and repressive measures must go
hand in hand IL the resulting condi-
lions are to be better rather than
worse.

Business Outlook Frightening.

The Standard OIL decision, progress
toward peace In. Mexico, seasonable
weather and promising crops combine
to revive confidence and make for a
brighter business outlook than ap-
peared upon the horizon some weeks
ago. They are factors which already
have had the effect of stimulating Sc
curfties as a forerunner to better
trade In commodities. Bank clearings
have shown an increase, and steel, the
pulse that usually indicates the condi-
ton of the market, manifests a de-
cided tendency upward, In spite of
continued contraction and price con-
cessions.
Nothing approaching a boom is
predicted, nor is there any wish or
need for one, but the prophets of trade
generally feel that, with substantial
conservatism underlying, business will
proceed along encouraging lines for
the year. What of uncertainty was
felt over the pending decision on
Standard OIL has been allayed, and
that, undoubtedly, has very helpful
influence, though it is not to be
doubted that more was made out of
this uncertainty than circumstances
warranted. That is generally the case
with stock markets. But since conf
dsnce is the basic element, after all,
In business. its restoration means
much. - se-s ., a4A 80 SIS
Better than all else, the country is
almost bound to reap a bumper har-
vest this season and to command
fairly good prices. Overlooking
granaries are Bever conducive to hard
times.

Not the dawdling OF dreamy days.
Nor the kind that the raw-hide poets sing
In carefully roughened phrase.
i ask for no glimpse OF the timid deer
That fees from the hunters call.
Let me go out there with the crowds that
cheer
The bunch that is playing ball.
Back to the primal state where man
Is close to old natures heart,
Where we're all on the plane where we
once began,
Unpublished by time and art;
Where the spirit Of contest surges fast
And the chances that may befall
Are eagerly waited from first TO last
Where the bunch is playing ball
Let the. dreamer go out meath the stars 50
bright
And defy the lightning's play
The stars are where they belong. all right,
And the lightning 10 miles away,
And the untamed beast will be on the run
II he hears your footsteps fall
The placid wildwood / fain would shun
The signal hear, Play ball!'
Let me bark to the shout and the battle
cry
As the foe is put TO rout;
Let me dodge the missiles that swiftly fly
When the umpire says You're out!"
Let me lift may voice with the general
throng

Out there where the bunch plays ball.
