A Great p..appo,ntment.

OMAHA. June 1L-To the Editor OF The
Bee: IL is now eight months since the
new tariff went into effect and there
is absolutely no reduction in the cost
OF living. The economic doctors have
treated symptoms and not the real disease,
Monopoly can hold up the people as well
under free trade as under high tariff
In spite Of the dissolution OF trusts, the
cost of their goods remains the same
Competition in trade Is as effectually
suspended as when the trusts were in
flower The "Gentlemen's Agreement" Is
as effectual as the formal trust, but abso-
lutely immune to the Sherman law. Mo-
nopoly cannot be controlled by direct leg
islation The organized trust may be
abolished, but the real trust remains, un-
der the simple form of a "Gentemen's
Agreement" which today controls and
will continue to do so till the consumers
organize In their own defense as the
laborers have done.
II is impossible 10 uncover secret pact
and. worse still. such pact Is not morally
wrong. II two or more men agree 70 sell
goods at the same price, it Is nobody 3
business, but their own, but that the
public should be obliged TO patronlze
them. is a crime which the government
Is bound TO prevent
The parcels post killed express extortion
and the interstate railroad commission
killed railroad extortion Similar reme-
dies must be applied to all other forms
OF eNtortion before the consumer can eN-

would be to refuse to buy except at a

ment must either furnish the goods or

right TO fix freight rates and fare. why
not the right 20 fix the prices as well as

Our Guess-Died A.Bornin,

The desperate inquiry is launched by the
Lincoln Star to what has become of the pet
project of the Hon. Mike" Harrington to divide
the supreme court into sections, and putting the
various sections on wheels to be carried about
over the state. The scheme, as outlined in the
circular letter was to initiate constitutional
amendment enarging the supreme court, max
ing membership elective by districts, and pro-
ydng for periodical sessions within the dis
trcts. meeting of influential lawyers in sym
pathy with the plan and ready to get behind IT.,
to have been held in Omaha on Memorial
day, but no one was able to locate the meeting
which presumably failed to take place. The Star
suggests that possibly one contributing reason is
the experience with the federal court sessions
required by law outside of Omaha and Lincoln
which II is said more or less perfunctory af-
fairs comprsng chiefly the cry of the bailiff
for the opening OF the court, the announcement
for adjournment. and the rush for the train
To relieve The Stars distress about the Harrng-
ton scheme we boldly venture the guess that it
died a-born'.

safety First.
Secretary.

FREMONT, Neb. June 14-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Discussing the fatal
automobile accident into Omaha, have
made this road 100 times or more and it
is one of the most dangerous crossings I
have ever experienced. It Is just at a
bend from the west and II you take extra
precaution and walk to see IL track is
clear with your car stopped. by the time
you are back again and have your en-
gine started, II takes a few minutes and
then the car is barely going. with the
result that these few minutes allow am
pie time for one OF the fast trains to
round the curve and meet you. There Is
absolutely no precaution that can be
taken with assured safety with the con-
dltions as they are.
My suggestion and only preventative is
to compel the railroad companies to cut
the banks down back, say 100 feet, and II
necessary more. and in doing this It will
give tho auto man clear view both up
and down the track for a mile to the
south and almost half a mile to the
north. This Is not such an expensive
matter and certainly is a safeguard TO
the public and the railroad company and
with the railroad companies slogan of
Safety First" l cannot understand why
these principles have not been applied
before In this case.
In this connection, I note there are so
many OF these crossings with these high
embankments and / feel that our rail-
road commission should compel the rail-
road companies TO lower these all over
the state wherever they are and you will
have few accidents of this sort. l do
not write this as a letter to be printed
in your columns. but feel that as a person
you should take It up and agitate 1t as 1t
Is certainly for the good of the public
and safety to all concerned. c.. II.
