From the New York Telegram.
While he lays no claim to being a globe
trotter, james B. Newsome, sleeping car
porter on the Burlingtons Nos. 8 and 12,
running between Omaha and Chicago. has
got more mileage to his credit than all OF
them combined. Newsome has been on
the Burlngton's Omaha Chicago run for
AZ years, making 10 round trips each
month, and during that time he has trav-
eled 5,0i0000 miles, and, what is most re-
markable of all, never has there been a
passenger injured while riding on his car.
Mr. Newsome in his time has carried
many distinguished passengers, and prob
ably knows by signt more men than any
other person in the United States. He is
highly respected. and has thousands of
friends among the people who patronize
the Burlington.
He attributes his success and the appre-
ciation in which he is held to the fact that
he has always taken good care of his
passengers, regardless of whether they be
men, women or children. Both Omahans
and Chicagoans, and those of the cities
between the terminals, time and again
place their children in his care, knowing
he will see them safely to their destina-
ton and that no harm befalls them while
they are in his care.

Much Yet to Be Done

After paying a tribute to the ex-
cellent work done by Congress at the
extra session so far, Mark Sullivan
continues in Golfers Weekly:
Striking as it is. what has been ac-
compiisled is of minor Importance
compared to what will be taken up by
the coming regular session. The ses-
sion, which begins the first Monday in
December, viii take up a question
which in it's effects concerns the fun
damental organization of society. 1t
will settle-permanently il the settle
ment is right---the question whether
this nation is to permit large units of
industry and regulate them, or insist
upon disntegration into small units.
(sound up with the settlement of this
question is the historic Issue of state
rights against federal rights.) The
coming regular session may mark the
end of one economic era and the be-
ginning of another 1t may settle the
social trend of a hundred million peo-
pie. The Napoleonic wars ana some
of the incidents described in Gibbons

but not more fundamental.
In dealing with the tariff and the
currency, so far the democrats have
firmly resisted all efforts to inject
regulation Of the trusts. This ques-
tion has been left for analysis and dis
cussion during the regular session.
The subject is momentous one. It's

sulzer Promises Sensation

Reports from Albany say that Will
liam SulZer, as governor of New
York, who is now being tried on inn
peachment proceedings, has resolved
to go on the witness stand and tell
the full story of his relations with
Tamnany Hall and the reasons for
his present predicament.
Mr.. Sulzer has contended that his
political Scalp has been determined
upon because he refused to act as a
tool for Leader Charles F.. Murphy
and his assistants. He hopes to show
that because he has stood between
Tammany and the state treasury he
has been marked for political death.
The country is accustomed to tales
Of Tammany's crookedness and graft
If Mr.. Sulzer can throw light upon
specific instances of corruption, if he
is enabled to show actual examples
of the baneful efforts at ring rule, his
testimony will be of great service,
valuable to his state.
There are many thousands who are
in sympathy with Sulzer although
they believe he is guilty of 4 the
charges which have been brought
against him. They think that Tam
many is menace to good govern
ment,. and they hope to see its COM
plete overthrow. The recent primaries
in the Empire State have afforded
proof of this. In many Of the up
state towns the organization candi-
dates have been defeated.
The whole country is interested in
the trial now in progress in Albany
It's every development will be watched
with interest.

Currency Bill in Senate

There are five republicans and
seven democrats on the banking and
currency committee of the Senate.
Thus it will be seen that the defec-
tion of a single member of the ma
jority would prevent a report on the
currency measure.
Danger of such a contingency cer-
tainly exists. Though passed by an
enormous majority in the House, the
Glass bill as it stands is opposed by
democrats as well as republicans of
the Senate. No senator will say
openly that he is against currency re-
form or that he does not approve the
essential features of the administra-
ton measure. There are details,
however, which will be strongly
fought.
If the bill once gets before the SEN
ate, there is no doubt of its adoption
This is indicated by the fact that it
received the support of democrats, re-
publicans and progressives in the
House. Our currency laws as they
stand are shreds and patches. The
Glass bill provides an elasticity which
has not existed before, and it takes
the control of the money market
from Wall street and distributes it
over the country. Because of these
weighty points, few of the lawmakers
care to be recorded as against it.
In the present emergency, Presi-
dent Wilson will have occasion to en-
ploy all the tact that he possesses,
and he possesses it to an unusual de-
gree. The unanimity of sentiment
among democrats regarding the tariff
does not apply to currency legislation.
But the President will not falter in
the crisis. 1t is safe to predict that
his wishes will be respected.

While the great percentage of ma
val officers must come from the acad-
envy at Annapolis, few from the
ranks will do good in more ways than
one. The warrant officers will be en-
couraged to their highest endeavor
while serving as such officers, and
when they receive commissions they
will bring certain practical ideas into
the corps of academy educated of
ficers that will be worth while.
In the army there is an increased
proportion of officers promoted from
the rank and file. Those officers who
had enlisted had had good training in
the army school at Leavenworth and
are almost as well equipped mentally
as the West Pointers. The army plan
has worked admirably. The same plan
in the navy will ultimately bear much
good fruit.

Naval Officers From Enlisted Mer


The Navy league Of the United
States with headquarters at Wash
ington is doing much by its publicity
system to popularize the United
States navy and to arouse interest in
certain questions of real importance.
The league, as is well known, is
strongly committed to the larger navy
proposition. 1t is now promoting the
idea that enlisted men who wish to
advance and become commissioned Of
ficers have an exceptionally good op-
portunity. If there are vacancies for
the promotion of warrant officers and
these warrant officers do not take.
the examinations it is because of a
lack of ambition and study work.
Secretary Daniels is making a spe
cial effort to encourage enlisted men.
He stated recently that while the law
pern1its at least II warrant officers
to become ensigns only five will ap-
near for the examinations this year.
Rear Admiral Uriel Sebree in re-
cent talk under the auspices of the
navy league at Denver advocated the
advancement Of warrant officers, but
ii doing SO acknowledged that the
severity of the examinations is large
" responsible for the small number
u non-commissioned officers attempt
ine to pass. He did not hint that the
examination should be less but he at
tempted to stir the pride of warrant
officers Of intelligence and character.
He thought that such men should ap-
ply themselves to study and be pre-
pared to pass the examinations. There

have won promotions from the ranks
