The reports thst come from the Rus
slan capital in regard to peace talk there
state that the chief reason for the atti
tude of the Russian government Is the
expectation or belief thst Japan will de
mand n heavy Indemnity. It is pointed
out that such a demand would be re
garded by Russia as absolutely Intnlera
ble and that under no circumstances
could It be seriously considered. The
Japanese are being told from various
quarters, more especially by the. French
newspapers, which doubtless voice offi
cial sentiment, that they should not
make the payment of an Indemnity a
condition to peace. They urge the
mikado to be generous and above ail
things to refrain from asking any pecu
niary compensation for the losses and
sacrifices Japan has suffered.
What effect this sort of jndiuonltlon
may have upon the Japanese govern
ment, with the situation entirely in Its
hands, it is Impossible to any. There
has been no Iqtlniatlon from an author
itative source of an intention on the part
of Japan to demand Indemnity and the
fact that Russia fears such a demand is
a vlrtufll admission that there is Justifi
cation for It. Unquestionably there Is
ample Justification. It would be differ
ent If Japan hod provoked the war, but
she was forced Into it. That country
earnestly sought through diplomatic
means to avert hostilities, asking only
such conditions and guarantees as were
necessary to self preservation. Daring
all the prolonged period of negotiations
Russia was active in strengthening her
hold upon Manchuria and scheming with
Cores against Japan. While solemnly
professing friendliness the cr.nr's govern
ment was doing all it could to Injure the
Japanese. It thus provoked the war,
which It confidently believed would end
In a few months in utter disaster to
Jjipan.
Now that Russia faces overwhelming
defeat she asks that the, Japanese be
generous, that they be content with their
victories and the prestige these have
brought them and not ask any payment
of money for what they have lost and
sacrificed. Perhaps Japan will show
such magnanimity, and If so It will be
the finest example of a nation's gener
osity the world has ever seen. It la
scarcely probable, however, that she will
do till. She might not demand all that
she would unquestionably be entitled to,
but It is hardly conceivable that she
would relinquish altogether a claim for
pecuniary compensation. That would
be an Injustice to her own people for
which they could Justly reproach their
government. As to tho threat that If
Jnpnn demands indemnity Russia will
continue the war Indefinitely, it can have
no terror for the Japanese. They are
better prepared for continuing the war,
than their enemy and It is not to be
doubted that what they have won they
can hold. Japan Is not at present ex
periencing any such difficulty and per
plexity In regard to providing for the ex
penses of the war as Russia Is The
money markets of the world are not
closed against Japan as they are against
her enemy.
It la believed that Japan is not unwill
ing to have peace, but she will make
peace only on terras that will absolutely
assure her national safety and national
development, and It Is not likely that she
will let Russia off without an Indemnity
that will repay at least In part her ex
penditures and losses.
MISSOCRl'S REPCBUCA X SEXA TOR.
It is thirty-five years since Missouri
was represented In the United States
senate by a republican. For the next six
years that state will have as one of her
representatives In the national senate a
man whose republicanism Is of the stal
wart kind and who has rendered inval
uable service to the party. Missouri's
new senator, Major William Warner, has
long been known to the republicans of
the country as an able and indefatigable
party leader In his state, always ready
to respond to the call of duty.
Senator Warner made a good record as
a soldier In the civil war. He ranks high
as a lawyer and be has had experience
in legislation, having served two terms
as a representative In congress. He is
therefore well equipped for a seat in the
senate. Major Warper's career has been
in the highest degree creditable and hon
orable and the senator-ship came to lilni
almost unsolicited. He Is understood to
be heartily in sympathy with the policy
of the national administration, especially
In regard to railway rate regulation, and
Is confidently expected to support Presl
dent Roosevelt In this direction. With
out wishing to say anything detrimental
to the other Missouri republican leaders
who were candldntea for the seuatorshlp,
It Is not to be doubted thst the election
of Major Warner was the very best that
could have been made and his party
services certainly entitled him to the dis
tinguished honor. He la a man of strong
convictions and will be a useful member
of the upper branch of congress, one
who can be depended upon to do at all
times what he believes to be for the best
interests of the people.
PROHIBITION IS MA IKE.
Prohibition bag beeu a failure In
Maine, aa In every other atate where it
baa been adopted, but the supporters of
that policy In the Pine Tree state are
still endeavoring to enforce the law.
Last week the legislature passed a bill
which authorizes the governor to appoint
a commission with power to exercise in
any part of the suite all the common law
and statutory powers of sheriffs In their
respective counties In the enforcement of
the law sua hut tho manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors. This com
mission can apiolnt deputies with simi
lar powers In the various counties, the
purpose being to enforce the prohibitory
law where the local officers have fslled
to do so.
Immediately following the pa Mage of
the measure the campaign for enforcing
prohibition was begun and a dispatch
front Portia uU last Friday stated that
there was not a single place In the state
where a drink of liquor could be ob
tained. The liquor traffic was brought
to a sudden standstill and large quanti
ties of liquor were shipped out of the
state. Thus for the first time in, many
years there Is real prohibition In Maine,
but how long this situation can be main
tained Is a question. It is a pretty safe
prediction that It will not continue for
any great length of time, at least In the
cities and larger towns. It may pos
sible to keep saloons closed, but a way
will be found to provide liquor for those
who want it.
The operation of this new effort to
enforce prohibition will be watched with
some Interest, but there can be little
doubt of its ultimate failure.

pointment of federal Judges.
Iff THAT LIGHT OF PAST EXPERIENCE
In the convivial exuberance of a ban
quet men noted for sound Judgment
and scrupulous business integrity some
times allow themselves to be carried
away Into expression of sentiments they
would not want to avow under other
circumstances. This, doubtless, is the
view which the rank and flleof the Com
mercial club would take of the response
Its president delivered at the banquet In
honor of Stuyvesant Fish, president of
the Illinois Central, In which these senti
ments are expressed In substance:
Omaha appreciates that the Interests of
commercial Omaha and the railroads are
one. Omaha business men feel they are
better served and treated now than they
ever have been, and therefore would rather
have the rallrond t raffle managers untram
meled In their freedom to make rates ac
cording to their best judgment than to put
the railway regulation and rate-making
power Into the handa of any aet of men
living at a distance from Omaha who are
subject to political Influences.
Are Omaha business men Justified In
placing themselves In an attitude of hos
tility to national railway regulation or
state railway regulation in the light of
past experience? Has not Omaha been
compelled to fight for every concession
that has ever been made to its merchants
and manufacturers in the past, and Is
there any probability that It will fare
better in the future If railway traffic
managers are allowed to have a free
hand?
Who does not remember the bitter and
protracted struggle Omaha had to make
against extortionate and discriminating
bridge tolls that for years retarded the
growth of this city and diverted its
traffic to other distributing centers, with
which our Jobbers were unable to com
pete? Who does not remember the re
peated appeals made to the Interstate
Commerce commission by the Jobbers of
Omaha against discriminating ' rates?
Who does not remember the repeated ef
forts of business men of Omaha to se
cure relief by the construction of an in
dependent railroad bridge and railway
terminals that' would enable Its mer
chants to overcome the drawbacks
caused by the old bridge and terminal
monopoly?
Would the East Omsba bridge have
been built had the Union Pacific been
willing to carry out the letter as well as
the spirit of its charter to make the
bridge accessible to all railroads that de
sired to enter Omaha? Would the Illi
nois Central have bought the East
Omaha bridge had Its managers foreseen
that the courts would finally throw the
Union Pacific toll gate open for the
Chicago Great Western road and for all
the roads that may follow?
And how long would Omaha bare been
compelled to forego the advantages of a
grain market had It not been for the or
ganization of a grain exchange on a
fighting basis that enabled It to make
successful headway against the combina
tion of railways that had for yeara di
verted the grain from Omaha north and
south for the sake of the long haul?
Have the business men of Omaha for
gotten the admonitions of President
Stickney to Omaha Jobbers, manufac
turers and grain merchants that their
only hope for obtaining and maintaining
commercial and industrial supremacy In
the region naturally tributary to It Is by
pooling their Issues and being ever ready
to enforce their demands by a policy of
retaliation? Does it stand to reason that
railway managers, who are expected to
secure for their respective companies the
largest amount of earnings possible, will
ever voluntarily make a concession they
are not obliged to make?
Mr. Stickney. although a railroad pres
ident, takes a view of national railway
regulation entirely different from the
president of the Omaha Commercial club.
In a book on "railway regulation," pub
lished twelve years ago, Mr. Stickney
pointed out the reforms needed for the
protection of shippers and communities,
and glvea his reasons for the change
which he proposes as follows:
There are many reasons besides these In
the Interest of uniformity which makes it
desirable to transfer the entire control of
this Important matter to the regulation of
the nation.
First, because of Its constitution and more
extended sessions congreaa la able to con
sider the subject with greater deliberation
and, therefore, with more Intelligence than
can the legislature composed of members
who, aa a rule, hold their office for one
short session of about sixty days' dura
tion. There would also be removed from
local legislation a fruitful source of cor.
ruptlon, which Is gradually sapping the
foundations of publjo morality.
In the second place, the problem of regu
lating railway tolls and managing railways
Is essentially and practically Indivisible by
state lines or otherwise, and therefore It Is
not clear that whenever the queation may
come before the courts It may be held that
the authority of congreaa to deal with
interstate traffic carries with It as a neces
sary and inseparable part of the subject to
regulate the traffic, which la now assumed
to be controlled by the aeveral statea.
These views Mr. Stickney has reiter
ated very receutly before a congressional
committee.
President Wright's apprehension that
national railway regulation at long range
will operate disadvantageous to Omaha
is groundless. Federal appellate courts
and the. federal supreme court that pass
upon the reasonableness of state and na
tional railway regulation al&o are located
at long range and always will be, and
the appointment of national commission
ers to regulate luter.ute commerce 15

cial 1 todies of Omaha that are Just as

name or names It may go and whatever

prospect will be for attracting Investors
and developing the Industries and In
creasing the population of South Omaha
In advocating the consolidation of the
assessment, collection and disbursement
departments of Omaha and Douglas
county The Bee has at no stage of the
discussion suggested or recommended
that any elective officer of the city be
legislated out of ofHee before the ex
plratlon of his term. This was also the
position of the republican candidates for
the legislature during the last fall's
campaign. It was understood then, and
has been understood since the opening
of the session, that the city tressurer,
city tax commissioner and city comp
troller would be allowed to serve out
their terms, which expire In May, 1kk.
Any deviation from this line of policy,
whether It affects a republican . office
holder or a democratic office holder
would naturally be regarded as a breach
of faith on the part of the delegation.
The only rational explanation of the
unanimity with which the demo-popu
list contingent In the legislature and the
demo-populist press of Nebraska are gen
erally boosting for the bill to extend the
terras of county and Judicial officers for
one year by doing away with odd year
elections is that the dismembered fusion
reform forces are anxious to save the
political lives of the rear guard of demo-
pop office holders who escaped from the
political Waterloo of 1904.
Russia Is now beginning to attribute
Its troubles to the Jews, and a force of
troops has been sent against an alleged
uprising In the southern part of the em

be expected to cover Itself with glory

tion of Russian soldiers."

Congressman Hull of Iowa appears to be

taining the Idea that "a-bloody war" may
take place between the United Statea and
Japan over the possession of the Philip

ever of any friction with Japan on that
question. Japan has not shown any desire
for war with any other nation. The pres

way out of it.
AS OTHER niMOVKHV,
Railroad Managers Rear a Spareerwrr
on the Rate Question.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The poor, hard pressed railroads have
made a great discovery that government
rate control would be unconstitutional on
new and hitherto unconsidered grounds.
Mere la tha discovery: That differential
rates on Interior traffic to the various sea
board cities are a necessity of the railway
situation; but the constitution provides that
while congress shall have power to regu
late commerce, etc., It also aaya that "no
preference shall be given by any regulation
of commerce or revenue to the porta of one
state over those of another," Thus, it la
argued, the government csnont touch the
subject; for, If It does and permits the
differentials, It will be acting against tha
constitution, and If It abolishes the differ
entials, ruin follows, ete. It Is said that
the president's attention has been called to
the matter, and that he and his supporters
are "amased" and "dumbfounded." What
bosh! The whole point rests upon the
sssumptlon that these differentials "are an
essential part of tha entire fabric of rates
throughout the country." But they are not
necessarily anything of the sort. Many of
the roads would already like to abolish
them, and some of the port cities. They
have absolutely no atanding In an economlo
consideration of the transportation busi
ness. Their abolition might Injure some
ports and trunk lines which have no eco
nomlo right to them, but the Injury at the
moat would not be great, and It would not
be wrong to the rqada or ports If Inflicted,
nor hurtful to the country. Besides, It la
not certain that a government recognition
of dlfferentlala would be a violation of the
constitution. The point advanced Is utterly
without Importance and It Is simply ridicu
lous to talk of the possibility that It may
compel entire abandonment of rale control

Matters of Interest Gleaned (rout tho
Army and avy Register,
The quartermaster general of the arm
haa extended the system of army supplies
bc-th as to purchase snd Issue, so as to
facilitate the delivery of stores, such s
clothing snd equipment, to tho army, and
at the same time to have places of storage
and depots of distribution nearest to tli
market.' This Is effected by means of uh
depots, where will be kept stoik upon
which drafts msy be made for military
supplies. These depots will be located fit
Atlanta, Chicago, St. Paul. Omaha, Den
ver, San Antonio and Portland, Ore. In
structlons are being prepared for the gold
snce of officers of the quartermaster's do
partment In the purchase of supplies under
contract and the maintenance of a stock
at various points for military necessity.
There will not he an exnmlnatlnn of can
dldntcs for appointment as sergeant, first
class, of the hospital corps of the army
until autumn. There are now sixteen va
canrles In that position, and numerous
candidates all over the country and In the
Philippines have made application to talte
the examination. Ordinarily the oxanilna
tlnn would be held In May or June, but it
Is not likely to occur until September or
later.
Among the devices submitted for the
consideration of the army board of ord
nance and fortification Is one for the pro
tectlon of the ear drums from shock at the
coast forts, ant the hoard has allotcd $:0
for the acquisition of some of these de
vices, which are made of celluloid in such
form as to Jenden the sound and reduce
to a minimum the amount of air which
will enter the ear.' This Is an Important
question and will add very much to the
comfort of people In the neighborhood of
the guns, to any nothing of affording a
protection to the ear drum. Some time
ago an Inquiry was instituted Into the
question of protection from the blasts of
great guns, and the report of the Investl
gatlon conducted by the experts has been
received. Of course, nothing can be done
toward changing the position of guns al
ready In pines at the coast defenses; but
hereafter the engineers, In locating the
guns, will take Into consideration the posi
tion where It h'aa been found the gun
blast works to the detriment of those at
an adjacent gun. It is Interesting to note
that the blast from the fifteen-pounders
Is worse than that from any other gun.
The quartermaster general of the army
on his return from the West Indies will
decide upon the Venetian blind which Is
to be adopted for officers- quarters at all
army posts. Some time ago It was decided
that window fixtures should be furnished
from the qunrtcrmnster's fund, and the
question at once came up whether cur
tains should be purchased or the more
durable Venetian blinds. For several weeks
the quartermaster general's office has been
examining samples of the latter without
finding anything that will quite reach the
demand. Accordingly, an office design has
been prepared, and as soon as It Is ap
proved1 by General Humphrey blda will be
Invited for the construction of a large
number of these blinds. The main differ
ences between the Venetian blind designed
In the quartermaster general's office and
that now on the market Is In the lifting
arrangement. The blind will be of oak,
probably.
The army will not be equipped with the
automatic pistol, and, for the time being,
the revolver will be used to the. exclusion
of a more intricate weapon. Some time ago
arrangements were made for a test, under
practical conditions of shooting, of the
Ltrjrer pistol and the Colt pistol, both ef
tho automatic type. These pistols were
Issued to the troops In the ' field with in
structlons to the commanding officers that
a full and frank report would be made
upon them. As a result of these reports
and a comparative test of the automatic
pistols with the revolvers already In the
service, it has been concluded that the
automatic weapon Is not sufficiently de
veloped to warrant its adoption, at least
to the exclusion of the revolver. This is
the conclusion which has been reached
by the army board of ordnance and fortl
flcatlon In a report made this week to
the secretary of war, who haa approved
this finding. It is admitted, of course, that
the automatic pistol is a more efficient.
not to say valuable, weapon, and that Its
usefulness extends to the military service.
But It Is felt by the experts that there
still remains much to be developed In the
weapon and that the time haa not yet
come when the automatic weapon should be
adopted for use In the service.

To be sure a captious critic might sneer
that the president's Irish speech waa only
a paraphrase of his German Speech at the
unveiling of the statue of Frederick the
Great. For Muhlenberg and Steuben and
Herkimer he substituted Barry, Mont

were there In place of the German pio
neers. Irish valor was substituted ror tier-
man valor, and Irlnh In flue net for German

But what of that? It waa a good speech,
with plenty of red blood in It, and plenty
of appeal to American patriotism, along
with the familiar exhortation that "the
best American Is the man who has In him
the American spirit, the American soul."
No matter what nationality Mr. Roose
