Shipper! Win tt Lat.
The shippers affected by the some
what famous Missouri river rate case
may now count that they . have
achieved a real victory, since the su
preme court has overruled Judge
OroBStrup's decision, which prevented
the Interstste Commerce commission
from enforcing the order of Novem
ber 15, 1908 The fact tbat the nil
gallon hag run the gamut , of the
courts for two years and finally re
sulted in favor of the shippers before
the court of last resort, makes tbe
victory the more distinct. This dis
tinction Ss a little more than senti
mental, too, when it is taken into
consideration with the preaent de
mands of railroads' for increases'' in
rates.' The moral effect may not be
to set up any precedents or standards
by which to measure other rates, but
when it is remembered with what
persistence the roads combatted these
rates from first to last, it does have
a bearing on present disputes. It is
well thet this case was fought to the
utmost length, for this leaves no
question of its stability.
A point of much interest in this
controversy is that the rates now
made operative by the decision will
remain in effect until the railroads
can prove their right to advance them
and In the circumstances of the new
law tbe burden of proof rests entirely
upon tbe railroads. . In the event of
their Intention to raise their rates the
roads wonld have to give a thirty
days' notice aid then the shippers
would avail themselves of the provis
ion' of law which enables the commis
sion to suspend advances by filing a
petition ..for that V purpose. 'There
seems to be little likelihood now of an
early reversal cf, conditions. In this
cane the shippers may expect really
to derive ' some benefit in 'freight
charges from their long-awaited vic
tory. Indiani and Taxation.
The law to tax restricted Indian
land, which came from Senator
Erown's bill in the last congress, has
already aerved to show that Indiana
aa a. whole are not inimical to taxation
and that tbey have a clearer under
standing of what it means to them
than might have been supposed. We
find from the Indians themselves that
they welcome taxation, believing that
It will not impose greater burdens
upon tbem, but rather tbat it will pro
duce greater advantages. It is quite
noteworthy to -sstt that a delegation
of Omaha Indians recently in Wash
ington, to tbe man, expressed gratifi
cation that the government was going
to include them in Its list of taxpay
ers. Tbey had nut so much to say of
the ethical side of the question ss of
the material. Tbey may have appre
ciated fully 'how responsibility tends
to make them self-supporting and
self-respecting and all that, but what
struck them aa of moat consequence
wss that when they paid taxes, in ad
dition to the white people, the public,
funds would be enlarged and they
could have better ( achools and better
roads and better advantagea of vari
ous kinds.
This looks as if Uncle Sam has
really acconiplleaed aomethlng with
his wards. It Is really more than
might have been expected b y those not
familiar with the Indian situation in
this state and section. It is natural
for the white man to wince when the
matter of taxes Is mentioned. The
Indian could not have been blamed
had he done It. Therefore, it must be
extremely gratifying to the govern
ment in Ita patient effort to educate
and elevate the Indian to fiad how
wen it has succeeded. U has suc
ceeded because it started out on tbe
right theory that . of securing men to
manage the Indian departments who
knew the Indian, hia character, needa
and tendencies and then of proceed
ing directly on the ground tbat the
Ul au4 aartet way 6f btlpin th
Indian waa by making him under
stand that he was a a.aa firat and an
Indian after helping him to help
himself. Thia principle appealed to
the beat there waa in the Indian and
in conjunction with the leaders ot his
own race, trained tnd educated In
public school and colleges, these gov
ernment officials have bad little real
difficulty In securing the hearty co
operation of Poor Lo.
Now, with all this lead placed npon
the tax rol's in this and other atatea,
the Indlaa la not gelng to be the oaly It is recorded, but probably forgot
one benefited; the entire population tea, history tbat "Jim" Dahlmaa was

two days of his campaign in Omaha
and South OmaW and the general
verdict Is tuat be bag personally mad
good impression and certainly driven
superior to his opponent, the cowboy
mayor, and aa thief executive of a
great state like Nebraska would un
questionably reflect credit upon the
office, whereas Mayor "Jim" as gov
ernor would keep us In constant fear
of some disgraceful act.
Mr. Aldrlch undertook to assure the
people of Omaha and South Omaha
that if elected he will be governor of
the entire state and all tbe varied In
terests of its people, and not of any
one special Interest; that Omaha
would have his help in aaaerting its
rights snd protecting Its Industries ai
much as any other part of the slate.
' Mr. Aldrlch endeavored to persuade
the people here to accept county op
tion, but we doubt that he mae any
headway in this direction. The large
majority of the people of Omaha and
South Omaha believe that the present
law permitting each city and town to
decide whether the selling ot liquor
shall be licensed Is preferable to let
ting the people of the county, outside
of the city, decide. The candidates
for the legislature on both party
tickets have alL with posalbly one ex
ception, declared against county op
tion, and if the legislature is against
such a measure the governor will not
be called on either to approve or veto.
Mr. Aldrlch laid stress on the bene
fits accruing to Omaha from the re
form legislation In whose enactment
be participated as member of the state
senate in 1907. As a law-maker he
put our people under obligation to
him In many ways and has a right to
expect a reasonable degree of re
ciprocity. Deneen Points the Way. V
Governor Deneen has sounded the
keynote of the next legislative reform
in Illinois. If his prqgram is followed
out tt will be a substantial reform,
looking to a sensible system of con
structive work and political house-
cleaning without any of the sentimen
tal stage craft which too often dims
good promises and impairs faithful
service. The governor's appeal to the
decent people of his state certainly Is
timely, and should be heeded in such
a way that this work of rejuvenation
may actually be done, and that good
men may be sent to Springfield to do
, and not a lot of political pirates,
such as -wrought the havoc In tbe last
session, . -
The people of Illinois have to look
to the republican party for this reform.
The republican party Is In such a posi
tion that it has to do th work, If it Is
done. The democratic party, which
has renominated moat of its faithless
members who brought such Ignominy
on the state before, cannot reasonably
be entrusted with the duty. If there
was ever a time when the republicans
of that stste needed to get together
this would seem to be that time. The
governor, as the leader of his party in
the state, is encouraged by what he
believes to be the fact that thle coali
tion is e'ther complete or in process
of formation.
If the upheaval emanatiag from
the acandal of the last legislature leads
to a complete readjustment of condi
tions in Illinois, it will be a recom
pense, if not a justification, sufficient
tc make tbe people feel that all was
not lost la the mire of crooked poli
tics. Governor Deneen undertakes a
large task, but one he muat eaaay and
he must succeed, even though that in
volve the sturdiest sort of . grit and
qualities of leadership.
If the taxpayers of Douglas county
want a safe, ,e and economical man
agement of county affairs they will
see to V. that tbe three republicans
ruuning for county commissioners are
elected. The three republicaag have
reputations for bonoaty, integrity and
ability, while none of their three dem
ocratic opponent would ba coaaldered
by a' good business house for sny re
sponsible position.
The British court's acquittal of Miss
Leneve Immediately after Its convic
tion of Dr. Crlppea is another evidence
of ita strong tendency to mete out jus
tice to those who come before It. Tbe
deluded little victim of this monster
has suffered tortures already for her
part and the court does well to free
her and afford her a chance to go and
behave herself.

The financial clerk explained that he

One unique suggestion coming te the

penda upon the eyea that read them, but

Plana for extending the preaent federal
control of food and drug labels so ae to
cover newspaper advertising were dteouseed
at a' conference of official ef th agricul
tural department In Washington laat weak.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, th department'
authority en poleone, beHwre that thar Is
urgent need for a draetle federal censocahlp
of such food and drug advertising. It waa
to consider hla proposal en this ut)ot
that Che conference was called.
Although many quacks and manufac
turers of adulterated foeda and spurious
medicine have been put out of business
merely by barring their circular from
the mall, other, mors powerful, have
eurvrved this meaenr by turning t th
newspapers and flooding the country with
their advertisement.
r to the preaent thn thle haa been
aafe expedient for the men who have
been getting a gullible publte te invest
In their worthless and often dangeroua
wares. If Dr. Wiley's plan I carried out,
however, Uncle' Sam - may undertake the
prosecution of all advertisers who sell
through the medium of newspapers and
mamsin war which they eannet pueh
with circular and which fall to com up
to th requirements of the feed and drug
aof.
Dr. Wiley, In presenting hi vlarws to
th conference, declared It t be hie con
viction that advertisements misrepresent
ing the chsraUr enj virtue ef foods and
drugs constitute misbranding, aa defined
by the food and drug act. He believe the
government is authorised under th set
to -prosecute a firm for making a mis
statement concerning Ite product In a
newspaper advertisement aa welL aa In ita
privat literature or on a label ot It

dent in th ppel -iad4 by the Depait
inent of Agriculture to various legislatures
for appropriation a for the manufacture of
a hog cholera serum.
The success of the serum ha been dem

tical demonstration waa given recently at
th Union Stock yard In Omaha, and
tate officials, breeders and packer all
admitted th efficacy of the new serum.
They said that in a short time it would
wipe out hog cholera, which haa Infected

Ne money, however, 1 provided by the

the anti-toxin Ita benefits probably will

RAILROADS AND THE LAW.
Statate ef Liaaltatlaa Shaated aa a
Sidetrack.
Sioux City Tribune.
Tbe auprem court of th United States
has sustained the claim of the railways
that th atatute of Umltatiena doea not run
against the grant by the government of
a right of way over publio lands. Tbe rail
way attorneys argued that a railway is a
publio highway, the same as are other
not exclusively oosupled by ralla, and that
aa auch are pubtle property of th state
and that th atatute of limitations cannot
run agalnat the atate. It being sovereign.
That settles the law If not the right. But
what strikes us aa queer la the readlnesa
with which railway lawyera ahlft ground
a th exigencies of their client's Interest
demand. A railway la private property
of Its shareholder, a private highway for
th us ef which the company may charge
what It will. Turning about te face a sit
nation requiring th negation of that prop
osition they arg-u that th railway la a
publio highway, part and paroel of th
etate'e sovereignty and that atatutea of
limitation te which ordinary mortals have
to submit are hurtlesa to their right of
property. An ordinary mortal can ba dl
vested ef title te land by an open, notort-
eua and adveree poeaesslon of It by an
other, but a railway cannot be. This Is
law ss administered by weak judges
agalnat atrong corporations. It Is the
kind ef law that Justifies Theodore Roose
velt' or! I Idem of some Judge and Judge
made lawa.
