What will the outcome be if this proc ess of inflation nud over-capitalization keeps up? What would the outcome be If a thousand kegs of dynamite were to be set off under the New York Stock ex change? With nil Its accumulated wealth and vast resources this country Is sure to experience a torrlflc shock from center to circumference whenever the tension to which this fabric of credit has been exposed shall have reached Its limit. Under ordinary conditions one great financial panic occurs at least once in every twenty years. This accounted for the panics of 1837 and 18o7, and the limit of the tension created by the civil war was reached hi 1873, four years ear lier, to be followed again by the twenty year period which terminated In 1803. Under the law governing these commer cial cyclones the next panic will be due by 1013, but It may come sooner If the captains of Industry are not summarily topped In their efforts to float dynamite torpedoes nnd submarine mines In the financial sea. Xow is the time to start the work of prevention which will give the coroners a vneutlou July 5. The renomlnation of Governor Her rlck of Ohio came easy.

Whether the ac tion he recommends, namely, the enact ment of a statute making It a penal offense for a paid lobbyist to approach a legislator privately or personally upon any matter which Is subject to legisla tion would meet all the requirements of the situation is perhaps questionable, but thnt It would contribute something to ward terminating the lobby evil will be generally conceded. ' If the lobbyists contented themselves with mere persuasion the amount of mis chief they might work would be limited. The work of the lobby is usually accom plished, however, by calling to Its aid other agencies such ns the distribution of free railroad passes, social entertain ment and sometimes flagrant debauch ery. If not outright bribery. The Bee's recent suggestion of a grand Jury ln con legislative sessions ready to legln In qutsltion Into nny crooked work which might be brought to Its attention would be effective In supplement to any penal ization legislation. The most encouraging feature of all Is the awakening of the people to a realization of the dangers lurking ln tho lobby and the growing disposition to do something to curtail Its pernicious practices.

LA FOLLETTE ON THE LOBBY. The special message sent to the leg islature by Governor La Follette urging the enactment of measures to stamp out the secret lobby hits straight from the shoulder, as do all the state papers over the signature of Wisconsin's fighting governor. Governor La Follette's ex perience with the hireling lobby's per sistent blockading of meritorious legis lation in the Interest of the people puts him in position to speak on this subject with authority. Ills description of the railroad lobby as the horrible example of all the lobbies Is not only vivitH but by merely changing the name of the state would npply almost literally to Nebraska as well as to Wisconsin and most of the commonwealths ln the union. He says: . Without going back over that period of time covered by the Impudent boast pro claimed ln this capital that "No bill has been enacted Into law during the sixteen years last past ln the Interests of the peo ple when objected to by tha railroads" without going back further than the service of many members of this legislature ex tends, It admits of no dental that the rail way lobby defeated the bill to Increase railway taxes In 1899, that it defeated the bill to Increase railway taxes again ln 1901, that It defeated the bill to create a railway rate commission ln both of those sessions and again ln 1903. The railway lobby main tained at thla capltol since 1899 has cost the people of Wisconsin millions upon mil lions ot dollars. At this session and at every session for years paid lobbyists have been employed about the legislature to argue any proposi tion before a legislative committee. They are a grade of men with whom the railway companies would not trust the trial of a petty damage ault ln a Justloe court. They dog the footsteps of legislators in and out of the capltol. they follow them to their rooma and hotels, they are free with enter talnment. It ia their business more espe clally to see legislators personally. Their special talent seems to fit them more par ticularly for private argument. Their pres ence is an annoyance and a nuisance. Their employment here should constitute a statu torj' offense. The business of lobby members Is not to go fairly and openly before the commit tees and present statements, proofs and arguments that the other sde has an op portunity to meet; and refute If (they are wrong, but to go secretly to the member and ply them with statements and argu ments that the other side cannot openly meet, howerer erroneous they may be, and to bring Illegitimate Influences to bear upon them. If the lobby member Is selected be cause of his political personal Influence It aggravates the wrong. If his business U to unite various Interests by means of projects that qre called log rolling it Is still worse. Governor La Follette is eminently cor rect In insisting thut the rallronds and other corporate Interests are entitled to no more consideration and no greater privileges in presenting their cases be fore the legislature than the ordinary people who are uuable to maintain ex pensive louuies to keep their servants straight. Ills Idea of permitting free and full public discussion of all proposed measures and extending every oppnr tunlty and courtesy to those who favor and those who oppose auy pending bill for open public discussion lefore com mittees nnd ln either chamber before tho legislators nnd the public, conforms to the popular Idea of what constitutes a square deal. And he Is eminently cor rect lu saying that every legitimate argu ment auy lobbyist has to offer and which auy legislator ought to hear can be pre sented before committees, before the leg islators as a body, through the press, from the public platform nnd through printed brief and arguments placed lu the hands of all memlters and necessble to the public, nnd that anything beyond this Is not ouly unnecessary but harmful. In denouncing as unjust the practice of holding public meetings to which both sides are Invited to present arguments and then when the meeting Is over per mitting the paid lobby to continue to bold the ears of the individual committee THE BREEDING PLACE OF HEROES' Of the nlue initial awards made out of the Carnegie hero fund eight nre in recognition of acts of heroism performed In rescuing or attempting to rescue drowning persons, while the uluth, namely the rescue of two children over come by gus in a well, constitutes an act closely akin to a rescue from drown ing. If these nre the typical examples of the heroes of peuce, one would be led to believe thut the water alone is the breed ing place of heroism. The very utter ance of such uu assertion provokes re monstrance nud suggests the possibility of developing heroism without Jumping into the ocean or throwing a rope ncross broken lee. Where are the heroes among fire fighters, the heroes of the rail, 'the heroes in the mines, the heroes in the factory, the heroes in the hospitals where contagious diseases lurk? Why should we iguore eveu the heroes of the home who meet with silent trials without spec tacular display? The rescue of drowning persons doubt less requires a manifestation of heroism of n high degree, but because it is usually out in the limelight of publicity surely does not make it the exclusive field of heroism. vate feeling Wtween the two countries.

Per haps no difficulty will be found ln effect ing an adjustment, lt the circumstance suggests a spirit on the pnrt of the Po mltiion authorities that is not altogether friendly and neighborly. On this ac count their action Is to tie regretted nnd it Is to be hoped will not be persisted ln. ln trying to explain why Chicago has bad name the Chicago Chronicle Is tnnklng admissions that may deprive Omaha of further advertisement as the wickedest city In the world. THE SOUTH NEEDS MEN. That was a very remarkable statement which was made by the governor of North Carolina, in the southern congress at Washington the pnst week, thnt what the south needs today is men. Accord ing to this representative southerner, who Is a native of the soil and absolutely devoted to southern interests and wel fare, what thnt section needs is men of brains, men of money, men of energy and willingness to work. A remarkable Indictment this' is upon the people of the south by one of their own citizens. It is easy to believe that If any such statement had been made by a northern man, however well meant, It would have been repudiated as an ut terly sectional and prejudicial view of the southern people. From one end of the south to the other It would have been denounced as evidencing sectional dis like and a disposition to encourage bad feelliig between the north and the south. Does the south need men men of brains and energy? In all probability It does, yet It Is by no means to be as sumed that that section does not pos sess men of that character. The fact is thnt there are many men in the south today who are in the front rank of American manufacturers and merchants and who are pushing forward In the great race of commerce as actively nnd vigorously as the men of any other sec tion of the country. It would be a great mistake to underestimate the ability or the enterprise of the men of the south. They are, Americans with all the energy and the enterprise of their fellow coun trymen nnd they are not behind any por tion of our people in their desire and determination to win whatever may be before them. Governor Glenn of North Carolina said that the need of the south today is men. He undoubtedly stated a fact, and yet it Is a most significant circumstance that there should be a congress of the leading men of the south for the purpose of pro motlng the material welfare of that sec tlon. It would seem from this that the south already has some men very capa ble of promoting Its Interests and wel fare. Still it is quite possible that more such would be found useful". AN IRRIGATION QVKSTION. In the west the Irrigation question Is everlastingly prominent. It engages the attention of tho people nil of the time and quite naturally everything that is known In regard to It Is ft part of the public thought. In other words, Irriga tion Is one of those subjects that with tho people of the seml-nrld portion of our country is paramount ln Interest and ln Importance to every other consideration. In reference to this It Is to be said that lu the near future a committee of congress will visit the west for the pur pose of Investigating the work that has been done by the government in the mat ter of Irrigation. According to report the purpose of the committee is to make a thorough Investigation of all thnt has been accomplished by the government in its work of reclamation nnd ncqunlnt the country with what more can be done In the prosecution of the great enterprise which the government Is engaged in. According to the San Francisco Call the tour of the congressional committee which is to make the Investigation of western Irrigation is to be extended to the arid regions on the high plateaus, where government irrigation works are under way. After having examined these works the committee will devote n great deal of time to the Investigation of other portions of the irrigation plans which are embraced in the vast work of the government, beyond any question the most wonderful and the most far-reaching enterprise, from an industrial nnd commercial point of view, in all our his tory. There Is nothing ln the present time that compares ln value and im portance with the benefits to be derived from the policy of Irrigation that hns been introduced during the last few years nnd. is now nn estnbllshed fact in the policy of the government There is no longer nny issue ns to tho question of irrigation. It is unlversnlly admitted thnt there is no more Impera tive duty on the part of the government Winn that of reclaiming, for the benefit of all the people, those portions of the public domain which are arid and at this time unfit for cultivation. That is now being done and in a way that insures the best possible results not ,only for the regions Immediately interested, but as well for the country nt large. In other words, the progress of irrigation menns benefit for the whole country. King Peter's Handicap, Buffalo Express. All the Servian newspapers, with two ex ceptions, are warning King Peter that he s a failure as a monarch and they advise him to run If he wishes to save his life. But Peter's crown weighs fifty-three pounds and the poor chap can hardly be expected to make rapid headway. Sot aa Had aa Painted. St. Louts Globe-Democrat. General Davis, who has been governor of the Panama sone for a year, snys tho sani tary conditions there are as good as those of Louisiana or South Carolina, and con stantly Improving. Only 3 per cent of the 10.000 canal workmen are on the sick list. The sensational stories spread lately about the health conditions along the canal route are Inventions. The Japanese Invasion, Chicajio Chronicle. Up ln British Columbia there Is a good deal of grumbling at tho Increasing arrivals of Japanese, who are declared to be crowd ing out white laborers. The Toronto Globe admits sympathy with the whites, but says that the admission of the Japanese Is "a necessity of imperial interests." Whether this statement of the case will keep the displaced workmen quiet remains to be seen. It Is clear, at any rate, that though the Japanese alliance has Its advantages It also has drawbacks. Prevention Easier Than Cure, Baltimore American. It Is none too soon to begin a crusade against the fatal toy pistol. An epidemic of lockjaw following this Fourth of July would not be a blunder, but a crime, on the part of the authorities, since Its preva lence has shown that any toleration of the deadly toy pistol is murderous ln effoct. Of course the average small American boy cannot be expected to celebrate the birthday of national Independence without blowing himself up ln some way, but there Is neither occasion nor excuse for this cele bration to be turned into a matter of life and death and death ln one of the most horrible of Its shapes. Nebraska has a remarkable citizen in General John 51. Thayer and ln no way has he shown himself more remarkable than in his active participation this week, although in his eighty-sixth yenr, In the exercises commemorating the rnwnee council. General Thayer's long and notable career has been so closely concerned with public events thnt now he stands out as a surviving actor ln scenes thnt we look back to as pages of long completed history. It Is only to be hoped that he may yet be able to grace with his presence still other similar oe caslons crowding rapidly along ln anni versary of the various plonepr Incidents in which ho figured prominently. 5Iembers of the senate committee on railroads aresald to be disturbed by the newspaper reports to tho effect that they were preparing to block the president's recommendations for rate regulating leg' islatlon.

The Philadelphia gas grabbers have decided to withdraw their offer for a lease of the city gas plant. Evidently the promoters have other work for the councllinen and do not want to risk all on one deal, but if Philadelphia Is wise it will watch the city hall for some time for fear that in nn unguarded moment the company might change its mind. The lntest Is thnt the Equitable direct ors nre eager for a general inquiry into the management of the big life lnsur ance companies ln order to divert atteu tlon of the: public by showing that some of the other insurance companies are also practicing questionable methods. Misery certainly loves company. DEPORTING AMERICANS. The Canadian government has raised a new issue, the result of which cannot easily be foreseen. It is ' nothiug less than the deportation from that couutry of American railroad men, or in other words the decision of a Cauadlun court that officials of a Canadian railroad who ure citizens of this couutry will not bo permitted to serve in couuectlon with the Canadian road. It appears that the Dominion officials of the railroad brought action to oust the Americans and this was sustained by the courts, ou what grounds is not stated lu the reports, though presumably for the reason that aliens are not entitled to exercise any control In connection with Canadian railways. It is said that the alien cop tract lalnir law of Canada, which is very similar to our own lnw, Is held to apply in the case, but it would seem obvious that this Is a very treat stretch of the law, so fur as railway officials nie con cerned. It is quite another question ns to the subordinate employes of the rail road. The matter raises another issue be tween the Canadian government and the United States which may teud to aggru- The Lewis and Clark exposition at Fortlaud will be formally opened tills week.

Miss Anthony, Mrs. Elisabeth Cady Stanton and Mrs. LIvermore, the second has been tho most powerful and aggressive advocate of woman suffrage, and the third -has been the most marked by conciliatory manners, by refine ment of taste and the widest culture. The public heard much from her and always with pleasure on other topics than the woman question. Her ueath will be uni versally regretted, but as she was well past the age of 84 It was not unexpected when news came a few days ago that she was 111. New Memorial Day Conditions. Leslie's Weekly. Unlike any other conflict In history, both sides won ln the war of 18tl-G5. To the north It brought the triumph of "liberty and union, now and forever, one and in separable." To the south It brought emancipation from conditions which threw it outside of the current of the world's In terests and activities, and it has resulted In a social and Industrial expansion greater than has been achieved by the rest ot the country. The real victor at Appomat tox was the south and not the north. To the whole country Memorial day In 1906 has a larger significance than ever before. It will arouse a greater Interest than was ever excited In the past. Death has been busy among the veterans during the year and many adldtlonal graves will have to be decorated. Floral tributes In greater volume than had been seen thus far are ln preparation for the holiday.

The movement on foot In various sections by different patriotic and public spirited bodies to conserve the best traditions of Memorial day U one which la likely to meet with cordial endorsement from thoughtful people by whom our unique holiday will naturally always be regarded as essentially uplifting and Inspiring ln sentiment These serious minded folk lovo to recall that Memorial day Is an observ ance unlike that of any other land, and that It Implanted on our national calendar a day typical of the Ideal mission of the people. For our nation, it Is conceived, should be forever a conspicuous example of self-saerlnclng devotion to high moral sentiment, ot readiness to forgive and to forget; of Justice tempered by mercy. As a herolo memory. It has been aptly pointed out, the day is one of the most precious of our possessions. It Is undoubtedly with the thought that ln its very nature Memorial day Is not a holiday but a holy duy, that the Grand Army veterans of Altoona, Pa., with the school teachers of the town, have Just entered their solemn protest against a circus parade on the oomlng Memorial day. It Is with similar recognition of the haunt ing memories of the day and Its real lmiort that the Women's Christian Temperance union and other bodies are this year pro moting a movement to devote the day to patriotic propaganda, suggesting that the flag feature be emphasised with flag drills In the schools and the distribution of flags. The day affords, too. It Is evident, a spe cial opportunity for the Impressing of pence principles. As the anniversary of "snowy-mantled peace," Its observance Is annually a source of helpful Inspiration. For with the advent of Memorial day mar tial music ceased; the blaze of battle faded out of the sky; the cannon's dull roar was silenced; room was made for Gentle peace In freedom's hallowed shade. Memorial day Is essentially the pure, peaceful blossom of war's aftermath. Its Flornl apostles, that In dewy splendor weep without woe," bring a tender mossage- uieaming upon the graves of dead soldiers of war, they are like "broken fragments of rainbow." above hearts where rests the divine covenant of peace. Natutstlly each year the thinking part of the community hold that Us ob servance should grow more reverent, more sincere and more inspiring, If we wish to continue Memorial day as a holy day, and not permit It to be perverted from Its origi nal purposes and fall into ultimate disuse.

Washington Post: A church Is Justified In accepting any kind of money, on the theory that it may save the wealth from being used for some disreputable purpose. Philadelphia North American: Dr. Wash ington Gladden speaks of financiers who "achieve wealth by unscrupulous methods."

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The union of the Baptist church, north and south, Just accomplished In St. Louis, Is a most grati fying evidence of the growing harmony and co-operation among people of all sec tions of the country.

St. Louis Republic: Rockefeller Implied, In a little conversation which he had with a clergyman, that the Idea of consolidating the churches Is right because, in his opin ion, the trust system "Is benefleial to civ ilisation." Possibly a better reason for har monious action by the churches Is thut such a policy would destroy the trust system's efforts toward declvllltatlon. t Pittsburg Chronicle: Bishop Potter's criticism ot the Young Men's Christian as sociation of Pittsburg for refusing to ad mit an actor to membership may be Just, but inasmuch as the bishop made a record for extreme llberalty ln opening a saloon with a religious service and starting It off with the blesstns of the church, so far as he was able to bless, there will naturally arise ln many minds the question of whether he Is authority worth considering on the point of what the Young Men's Christian association in Pittsburg or else where ought to do. In view of what the bishop has done, many will believe that It Is not Improbable that he would advo cate the establishment of bars In Young Men's Christian association buildings for the dispensation of llcjuor under Young Men's Christian association auspices, and with this ln mind the Young Men's Chris tian association will probably concern It self less about the good bishop's opinion than about the opinions of many less con spicuous persons. Let us not be misun derstood, however, as endorsing a policy of exclusion of actors from tho Y'oung Men's Christian association, for their pro fession and for no other reason.
