Is it on Anti-Diat War!
Francisco I. Madrro, wbo wni over
whelmingly d'-foaled for president of
Mexico and, during the campaign, Im
prisoned by President Diaz, In tho re
puted leader of the anti-American
rioters In Mexico. Thin fact, when all
the eircumntancea are appreciated,
ought to allay any feeling of apprehen
aion ns to the friendly relation exist
ing between the povernments of the
two republics. Though the successor
to (leneral Bernardo Keyea, leader of
the anti-American party In 1908.
Madi-ro, In all probability, is, not try
ing to annoy the government at Wash
ington half aa much as he Is seeking
to harass President Dias by plunging
him Into trouble with the Vnited
States. If the disappointed rival of
the Mexican executive could precipi
tate such a condition It would no
doubt gratify him far more than would
any Injury he could Inflict on the
Americans.
The persistency with which . these
demonstration! have been carried on
and the seriousness with which they
are being regarded by the Mexican au
thorities suggests the guiding genius
of aome crafty and able leader. They
can no longer be dismissed aa merely
the desultory outbursts of Inflamed
fanatics. They must have a head to
them, and that head is Some ambitious
Mexican who would give all his pos
sessions to undermine Dias or to dis
credit his administration.
But the Diaz government may be
expected to guide the ship of ataie out
of the troubled waters in due time,
exercising its characteristic tact for
the preservation of peace with the
United States.
Goethali the Eight Man.
President Taft's visit to the Panama
canal has brought out plainly the Tact
that the right man waa finally obtained
to superintend the gigantic task of
building the canal and the president
may take all tho personal pride in this
he pleases, for he is the one who se
lected Major Goetnals of the United
States engineer corpa for the work.
The progress of the enterprise, ful
filling the promise of Its completion a
year before the time set; tho lack of
friction among the employes and the
good physical condition of the men are
separate proofs of the peculiar fitness
of Major Goetbals. The government
waa beginning to grow a little uneasy
in its quest for a man who would take
hold of this work and carry it through
to completion by January, 1916, and
the time lost in changes is only an
other evidence of the splendid selec
tion the president made iu Major
Goetbals.
Here is a suggestion of the great
value the government may make of its
army engineers, men trained at Weat
Point. Their operations mar aot bo
quite as dramatic or Kpectaculi.r- Li j
those of the officer on tho field of
battle, but we are not fighting many
battles nowadays and even if we were
it is doubtful If the leader of an army
of warriors could offer any service
that would rank higher for the genu
ine good of his country than that
which the army engineer may give in
peaceful enterprises similar to, though
even of far less magnitude, than the
one in which Major Goetnals is just
now achieving such fame for himself
and results for his country. The gov
ernment will have a vast amount of
this work to be done In tho next gen
eration, perfecting, its schemes of
reclamation and conservation and It
has only begun to see what splendid
resources it has in its military arm.
Railroad Expense Account.
In the railroad rate hearing before
the Interstate Commerce commission
at Washington Attorney Brandeis, for
the shippers, contends that what rail
roads need more than higher rates is
more science In their management. If
this were applied, he maintains cut
ting out waate and needleaa expense
they would have no ground on which
to base the semblance of a plea for
advanced schedules.
Whether unscientific or not in their
operating methods, the railroads
some of them, at least have shown
that no such, charge, may be fairly
made agalnat their system of book
keeping. For instance the New York
Central displays post-graduate skill in
its accounting department, aa reflected
in discoveries made In the course of
an official investigation. One of many
examples will serve to show the pro
digious science developed along these
lines. Before going into this, . how
ever, it might be well to state that for
years the New York Central has fol
lowed the plan of charging in every
month's expenses one-tenth of a full
year's depreciation. Examination of
the company's accounts for March is
said to show that Instead of charging
off one-tenth of the year's deprecia
tion, the deductlona covered three
months and under the plan, adopted
tho expensea for the month were in
creased by $373,523. And when an
order went out for the demolition of
thirty-five locomotives that were unfit
for use and the coat of them, placed at
$276,000, was chargel to operating
expenses for March, as late as June
these locomotives were still doing ser
vice for the New York Central.
This sort of bookkeeping may not
be common among railroads, but how
does the Interstate Commerce com
tulaalon know If they have found it
practiced by one of the leading roads?
Another thing that must be taken
into consideration in connection with
the purchase of new rolling stock is
the increased capacity nd the dimin
ished wear and tear of this equipment,
For the modern locomotive the boast
la that while It costs more than the old
type. It absorbs the extra cost In its
capacity for hauling greater tonnage
and the claim is made that the steel
car, which costs more than the wooden
car, also carries more and lasts longer.
So that it ia misleading merely to
charge against operating expenses
Items of this kind without specifying
their character. The trouble in all thla
rate hearing controversy is that there
are too many made-to-order statistical
exhibits and not enough frank discus
sion of facta as they exist.
A Public Defender.
Some member of the Douglas dele
gation to the coming legislature haa
an opportunity to sponsor a reform In
the method of defending indigent prig
oners that will' save our taxpayers a
substantial aum each year.
The Bee haa already called attention
to the fact that the existing system of
appointing special attorneys to defend
prisoners accused of crime, who make
affidavit of lack of means to hire a
lawyer for themselves, is proving
merely a practice achool for young
lawyers courting favor of the district
Judges, while the aggregate bills for
their services figure up between $3,500
and $4,000 a year, which would hire
a competent public defender at a fair
salary and leave the county treasury
from $1,500 to $2,000 to the good.
As the law now standa the Judges
of the district court have it quite
within their power to provide this
aolution of the problem, but they seem
to be indisposed to do so, preferring
rather to regard their right to appoint
defending attorneys as a part of their
judicial patronage to be acattered
around where It will do them individ
ually the most good. If the judges
insist upon being so wasteful with the
taxpayers' money perhaps the legisla
ture can be persuaded to come to our
relief by creating the position of pub
lic defender corresponding to that of
public prosecutor with a salary equal
to what la paid a deputy county attor
ney, the place to be filled either by
the Judges, the county attorney or the
county board. If this law is framed
so as to apply onl7 to counties In the
population class with Douglas it
should encounter no serious opposition
in the legislature.
After the Gold Brick Man.
It is to be hoped that the govern
ment's action against the gold brick
artist will not end until conditions are
created that will make it either im
possible or exceedingly dangerous for
this class of fakers to continue in bus
iness. And Postmaster General Hitch
cock seems fully determined on this
point. The Idea of the United States
mails being employed as tho chief In
strument in a system' of fraud that
o masses $40,000,000 or $50,000,000
to a set of wild-cat promoters is sim
ply astounding. The only criticism
to be offered in connection with fed
eral disposition is that action was not
taken long ago and the swindlers
nipped in the bud. If anything, the
government has been too patient with
these crooks. To be sure, it has
sought by other methods to stop them,
but these methods have proved thor
oughly Inadequate.
Now that these amazing frauda have
been disclosed the government should
have every popular encouragemeut
to go on even If it has to place a few
men behind the bars in order to es
tablish a safe precedent and warning.
It would be impossible to determine or
even approximate the far-reaching ef
fect of this class of swindling opera
tions. Not only have thousands of in
dividuals been defrauded, but legit
imate business Interests have suffered
Immeasurably. It should be made dan
gerous to engage in the fake stock
selling business. The brazen effront
ery of the gold brick vender using the
United States malls as the machinery
of his game Is enough In Itself to In
vite a severe penalty.
The democratic World-Herald seems
to be speculating as to what "gang"
Governor-elect Aldrich meant in the
statement coming from him from
Ohio. It is barely possible that the
"gang" Mr. Aldrich has In mind is the
democratic "gang" and their brewery
allies who put Governor Shallenberger
in the state house and have been run
ning things there through him and his
appointees for two years.
Perhaps the failure of election offi
cers in one voting district to keep a
poll list is due to the impression that
the voting machine not only recorded
the vote and counted it automatically,
but also listed the name of the voters,
too, and leave no burden on the Judges
and clerks of election but to draw
their pay.

Actually he took a wallop at all of them.
What waa the matter with the voter?
Waa he dHgurted over the siise of the bal

county optlonlsts and equal suffragists for
not accepting previous expressions on the
same proportions? Waa he too indifferent
to the prlvllee of voting directly on legis
lation to try to Inform himself on the
merits of the questions submitted? Nobody
knows Just what was the matter with Mr.
Voter, but everybody agrees that the refer
endum wasn't worth the 1160.000 or mote
that It cost. And a great many former
ardent supporters of the referendum Idea
ara ready to admit that they want no more

the balloting- la generally Interpreted to
mean that this is the vt av voters feel about
it.
Supporters of tlis Inltative and referen
dum principle ara reluctant to admit that
the people do not want to be bothered
with direct legislation. They are more In
clined to seek aome fault in the application
of the principle. The firet guess is that it
has been made too easy to sat the wheels
of direct legii-lation going. In order to
propose a new law or to refer a law
enacted by the legislature It is necessary
to get up a petition containing the names j

of only i per cent of the voteia. It is

There la something funny and fakerish
about the way apartments are rented In
New Tork. In nearly all Instances when
an applicant asks what the price of an
apartment is. he Is told that It Is "so mtich
a month, with one month free." Occa
sionally two months free are allowed, and
this cuts the rent materially. The reason
for this Is because the owner of the house,
who may want to sell, likes to show that
the monthly rent roll Is a certain sum the
larger the better. That is all very fine, but
the investor who is thinking about buying
a house knows that the tenants have had
their apartments one or two months rent
free, and he figures accordingly. No one

except such harm as follows a deception

"I'm lookin' for some of mah folk to

"You don't mean James W, Osborne?"
asked the coroner.
"Yessah; that's Mlstah Jimmy Osborne,"

la yere and needs him."
A clerk waa instructed to commuunicate
with Jamea W. Osborne, former assistant
district attorney, over the telephone.
"tTncle Peter!" came back the response.
"Tell him either I or a man from my of
fice will be with him in a minute."
Ina few minutes James W. Osborne, a
nephew of the former member of the din
trio t attorney's staff, reached the coroner's
office to look after the interests of Uncle
Peter's "Boy Ed." It waa learned that
the old negro had been a slave on the
plantation of Osborne's father near Char

For hiore than a quarter of a century the
bridge commissioner ot New York City
and New Jersey have been considering
plans for a bridge across the Hudson river.
For a time Fifty-ninth street waa consid
ered a a favorable point from which to
tart the structure, but on account of the
high cost of land in Manhattan needed
for the approach that bad to be abandoned.
After many conferences One Hundredth
and One Hundred and Seventy-ninth
streets were selected as favorable points
of departure, the choice between them to
be determined by minor conditions. On the
basis of recent testa of the river bed, how
ever. Dr. Kuni, chairman of the geological
section of the New York Academy of Sci
ences and also the president of the Scenic
and Historic Preservation society, delivers
the expert opinion that nowhere below
Storm King ia there a bedrock accessible
to support the piers of a bridge. The dis
tance between shores, starting at the two
points designated, are 3.9U0 and 4.4U0 feet,
respectively, and a middle pier would be
essential to the support ot tha proposed
structure. No single span for such a dis
tance would be safe or feasible.
In the opinion of Dr. Kuns this part of
the river waa In prehistoric times a deep
arm of the aa and Its depth In preglaclal
times must have been about TOO feet. The
borings recenly made at various points
went down a far as VQ feet without find
ing anything more solid than silt and aand
mud, and this, it is claimed, must dissipate
the hopes and dreams of all those who have
wished and expected to see In the not dis
tant future a splendid structure spanning
the noble river.
Plana for underground connection of lo
cal transportation system with the new
Grand Central station provide for four
uperlmpoaod subway beneath Forty-second
street. Of these the uppermost will be a
concourse, from which access may be had
to any of the three levels below it, which
will no doubt be extended east to Lexing
ton avenue, connecting there with the
propobed trl-borough route. Below this
point concourse la tha 'level of tha present
lnter-borough subway.
The floor of this tunnel will become the
roof of the station of the McAdoo tubes
at the Orand Central, and below that will
be the Belmont tunnel to Kong Island
City, the operation of which seem to be
getting within the range ot probability as
the result of the luterborough company'
latest proposals.
Taken as a whole, the new plans af
ford a most striking Illustration of New
York's underground development. The
new terminal will provide facilities fur
handling iOU, 000,000 passengera a year
mere than five times lis present capacity
but with the arrangements which have
been made for reaching and leaving the
station without coming to the street the
immediate neighborhood around the Orand
Central will give only alight Indication of!
thla great Increase In traffic.

earthed in New York, and the police serin
Just aa much interested as though it were
