NEW RECRUITING STATION.

Lieutenant Robert l.. Denlg, Unit
ed States Marine Corps, is here today
making arrangement for the opening
OF recruiting office for the Marine
Corps. The Marine Corps had such
excellent results from their office here
last winter that they will reopen here
in week or ten days. The office will
be in the basement of the Rex hotel.
The U. S. marines or "Soldiers of
the Sea" are at present much in the
public eye, owing to the work they
are doing in Nicaragua. Today a
regiment of $50 marines sail from
Philadelphia for San Domingo to
guard the custom houses on the Hat
len beach. They will most likely be
landed on the north and south coast
and marched inland, as there are no
railways in San Domingo. The mar
ines also serve in Pekin, China, Ha-
wall, Panama, Cuba, Guam, and the
Philippines as we'll as on our battle
ships, armored cruisers, and our ma
val stations on both coasts.
Men enlisting here will be sent to

S0CIALISTCAMPAIGN

New York, Sept. 27.-Eugene V.
Debs, the Socialist party candidate
for president, believes he will poll at
least 100000 votes in the coming
election. This belief is shared by his
campaign managers and is based up
on reports recently received from the
party workers in every section of the
country. The total Socialist vote in
the national election in 1904 was
402,203 and four years ago the vote
reached 42O,793. In both these cleo
lions the party had the same presi-
dental candidate as this year. With
the same Standard it could
scarcely be expected that the party
vote would more than double, unless
public sentiment has undergone a
surprising change within four years.
The men who are managing the So
cialist campaign declare that they are
in receipt of advices indicating wide
spread dissatisfaction with the can
didates of the old parties. They be-
lieve that both Taft and Wilson will
suffer greatly from defections by
which Debs even more than ROOse-
welt, will benefit. The aggregate of
these OBJECTIONS, so they state, will
be more than sufficient to roll up
million votes for the Socialist nation
al ticket.
Heretofore New York state has pol
led the largest Socialist VOTE Next
in the order named come Illinois,
PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio and Wisconsin.
In the last election in Massachusetts,
the Socialists just succeeded in get
ting the three per cent that entities
them to be called party and to have
place on the official ballot. The
party managers are relying upon the
recent Strikes and other labor trou-
bles in Lawrence, New Bedford and
other mill towns to greatly increase
the Socialist vote next November
the Socialists also expect to make
great gains in the far west. On the
Pacific slope California gave the larg-
est Socialist vote four years ago. This
year the confidence of the party work
ers in that section of the country is
so great that predictions are even
made that Nevada will elect a So
cialist governor.
Texas, North Carolina and several
other Southern states have Socialist
tickets in the field this fall, though
the South on the whole, is remark
able for it's small Socialist vote. Ok
lahoma, for reasons that are difficult
to determine, has shown far stronger
inclinations towards Socialism than
any OF her neighbours The total So
ciaIist vote in Oklahoma four years
ago was 21,734. which is more than
twice that polled in the state of New
Jersey, in which the city of Paterson
has always been regarded as the fore
most center of Socialism in the United
States

The most of it is subject to entry

With Nebraska's supremacy among
the great grain producing states be-

/ want to do many things for Omaha,
| first want to see Omaha vested with
the legal power to make its own charter,
so that 1t can have chance to govern
itself, as any city of it's size should. We
want TO remember that until we get this
power there is much that we should do
which We cannot do, but In the meantime,
there is much we can and must do
/ want cleaner streets. Let US look first
and see how easy 1t would be to inn
prove matters and how simple after all
is part Of this problem Of clean streets.
Drays loaded with all sorts of materials
and waste are permitted to drag through
our principal thoroughfares and scatter
bits Of their loads without picking them
up. Now, this is cause that is easy of
remedy. This is a public nuisance that
must be abated.
Again, the habit of throwing paper on
the sidewalks and In alleys is bad, helps
TOY litter streets. This. too, can be
stopped. Some patriotic and high minded
persons, doubtless are careless enough to
do this. They should stop it. They owe
something to their city and those in
charge OF It's affairs and they can help
discharge the debt by being more careful.
The ernptying Of refuse into cutters and
streets is another bad practice that must
stop. Housewives do this often. They
are hereby warned that they will be

GREED OF THE HARD COAL TRUST

the act to regulate commerce, prohibiting
railroads from transporting coal from
mines owned by them.
The supreme court Of the United States
affirmed the constitutionality Of this law
but practically nullified 1t and gave the
hard coal trust a new lease OF life by
ruling that a railroad company had nc
illegal interest" in coal mine held In
the name of another company, even II
the railroad company held every share
of the stock OF the coal company.
Last week a resolution was offered In
congress for another investigation by the
Department Of Commerce and Labor OF
the hard coal trust. The Merchants asso-
clation of New York has just started such
an investigation, and others are proposed
in numerous cities.
What's the use? All the facts as to the
formation and operation Of the hard coal
trust are in the files Of the Interstate
Commerce commission and the Depart
ment of Justice.
The chief profit Of the railroads-and
consequently the biggest share OF the
robbery Of the public--is derived from
the freight rates fixed on hard coal. II
the Interstate Commerce commission has
not the power to order freight rates on
coal reduced to q reasonable basis ii can
take steps which viii lead to the Issuance
OF such an order by the supreme court
The unreasonableness Of the present
rates is abundantly demonstrated by
comparing them with the rates OF the
same railroads fer other classes OF traffic

l believe in the city hauling all rub
blsh and refuse free to the property
owner or tenant. This would have a
great effect in abating this nuisance OF
throwing matter into streets and alleys
and vacant lots, which people do to avoid
paying for having 1t hauled away. The
organic matter decays and causes germs
which breed disease or unhealthful con-
ditions. 1t is one of the worse nuisances
with which we have to contend, and
feel certain that the city would be far
ahead to, institute its own system OF
hauling this matter free to the people.
The city should do its street sprnkling
and pay for it out of the general taxes.
or create sprinkling districts and assess
abutting property special benefit taxes
for 1t. BY this method we would get
continuous sprinkling done and doubtless
for the least possible expense. wish
the taxpayers would give some attention
to this matter, for 1t deserves their
thoughtful consideration. We suffer as
is Is from the lack Of sprinkled streets
There is no good reason for this.
Weeds must be more generally looked
after. We shall not feel like tolerating
neglect of them. Property owners should
be held responsible and they should re-
ceIve no other notice than that contained
in the newspapers that their weeds must
be cut. i would make failure to COM
ply with such an order within four days
an offense giving the city the power to
cut the weeds and levy the tax against
the property for the work.

Veto of the Army Bill.

President Taft acted broadly and
courageously in vetoing the army
bill. He should never have been
asked TO approve the measure. 1t
was conceived In a spirit of personal
animus. whose whole purpose was to
get even" with General Leonard
Wood and one or two other army Of
ficers. Such a purpose is unworthy
of congress. 1t has no rightful place
In any OF It's deliberations. For the
president to have approved the bill
would have made him party to
such smallness and subjected the
nation to deserved contumely. He
saved 1t by his veto. The bill doubt
less possesses some merit; possibly
is in need of some reorganization,
but it should proceed along different
lines. Congress does not permit
class legislation, certainly 1t cannot
stoop to petty personalities In shap-
ing laws for great government.

II it was the railroads desire to obtain
a fair and square arbitration OF the ques-
tions involved, and settlement only IN

Whites appointments that they have been

men to represent their interests. 1t II
obvious that neither side could see good

sis. the real power OF arbitration would
simmer down to the one disinterested man
whom both sides would select as umpire.
In the present case. however, Daniel

resents the railroads and P. Fl. Morissey
the labor union. Chief Justice White
has appointed five others. Oscar Straus,
otto Eidlitz. Frederick N. Judson, DR..
Charles II. Van Hise and Albert Shaw.
oscar straus is one OF the most distin'
guished constitutional lawyers In the
country, has served under four presidents
in important capacities, including the
Turkish ambassadorship and cabinet
portofolio. President Van Hise. of the
University of Wisconsin, Is well known
as a progressive thinker and is head OF
what is considered by many the greatest
state university in the United States. He
is credited with lot OF ideas that have
been embodied In the La Toilette reforms
In Wisconsin. Mr.. Judson is one OF the
leading lawyers In st. Louis and dis
tlnguished legal authority. He was ap-
pointed by President Taft member OF
the Hadley Securities commission. Otto
Eldlitz is big New York contractor and
formerly president Of the Building Trades
association; he is a prominent member OF
the Civic federation. DR.. Albert Shaw
ia well known as the editor Of the Review
Of Reviews and former Johns Hopkins
man.
Thus the power of settling the en-
sineers' demands rests with five disin-
terested persons, with representatives OF
the interested factions hopelessly In the

After successive appeals up the
legal line supported by a deluge Of
technicalities, the appellate court Of
New York clinches the disbarment
of Henry A. Robinson, head of the
legal department of the Metropolitan
Street Railway company. Mr. Robin
son achieved distinction as a lawyer
and accumulated an air Of respecta-
lbility supposed TO be dense enough
to hide from public view jury fixing
and subornation OF perjury.
Repeated success In this line of legal
crookedness conducted through in
termediaries made him oyerbold in
passing gifts to court officers, rem
dering the task of trapping him an
easy one. Mr.. Robinson's disbar-
ment is classed by the New York
Tribune as a moral tonic. Manufac-
turers of that brand Of tonic might

oversupplying the local need for .he
goods.
