Playing: Hone with the Rulet.
The performance Indulged In In the
house the other day, whereby the ptir
poe of the new rule for dtxclinrgtna
rommlttees from consideration of
legislation threatened with perpetual
pigeon-holing was completely nullified,
must not be taken as discrediting the
rule, but rather as demonstrating the
ability of shrewd parliamentarians to
play horse with any set of rules, liy
insisting on a technical interpretation
Speaker Cannon allowed the clerk to
consume the time of the house with
reading an Interminable bill for the
reorganization of the Postofflce de
partment which no one wanted seri
ously to discuss at the time, and
which was called up merely for dila
tory design.
As an object lesson the exhibition
may be of some service in exposing the
weakness of the rule as It now ex
ists and lead to its amendment. But
the whole thing simmers down to a
question whether the various elements
in the house can bring themselves to
work together or will persist In tug
ging In opposite directions. A minority
bent merely on filibustering and mis
chief making can usually, find plenty
of kinks in the rules to make it awk
ward from time to time for the ma
jority. But this only emphasizes the
foolishness of that sort of tactics,
whether the majority or minority be
made up of republicans or democrats,
regulars or Insurgents. The rules
should be framed to facilitate the
transaction of business and be ob
served in a spirit of fair play and in
the Interest of legislation for the peo
ple as a whole who constitute the constituents.
Porters and Their Tips.
The traveling public will be in
clined to take sides with the Tullman
porters In their demand for more
wages. The general impression has
been that if the porters were paid at
all by the company the pay was
wholly Inadequate. . They will, them
selves, admit that their chief source
of income is tips from the patrons of
the railroads and the sleeping cars.
Now as they observe a conflict be
tween the high cost of living and the
tips, they ask their employers for
more pay.
If it is true that tips are falling
off, It is an indication that traveling
Americans are at last coming to a long
delayed reform. They pay enough,
sometimes too much, for their legiti
mate traveling expenses and , they
should not be compelled to Increase
them by gratuities to employes who
should be fully paid by the com
panies that take the money at the
box office. Certainly, on long Jour
neys and under some other circum
stances, porters can and do, make
themselves really serviceable to travel
ers in ways they mfght readily over
look and for such acts they may be
entitled to a personal fee from the
tourist, but the abuse lies in the fact
that under any and all conditions and
circumstances these fees are 'expected
and if they do not come the traveler
realizes that the porter is not getting
what he deserves. la the long run
the companies have simply taken ad
vantage of the generosity of the pas
sengers to underpay their men. That
is what will do much to create sym
pathy for the porter in his present
demands.
People's Part in Education.
Most people have readily conceded
Mr. Rockefeller's good intention in
giving millions to education, so that
undoubtedly he will have publlo ap
proval for withdrawing his representa
tives from the management of the
University of Chicago, an Institution
established and so far largely main
tained, by his money. They will be
willing to admit that, whether tainted
or not, the millions that have gone
into this university have gone for the
higher purpose ot benefiting others
rather than for the personal aggran
dizement of the donor.
Most men would like to be remem
bered after death by good deeds and
to have their influence survive them.
But It is folly to suppose that Mr.
Rockefeller bit upon this means of
perpetuating any special Idea of edu
cation he, himself, might have. It is
even to be doubted that he ever had
the purely selfish purpose in the en
terprise which some have seen fit to
Impute to him.
Those who have preached the re
jection of such contributions as those
made by Rockefeller and Carnegie to
educational institutions, we believe,
have taken a short-sighted view. In
its growth and influence the Univer
sity of Chicago Is a prodigy in the
educational world and there is no
reason to believe that Its influence
has been consciously controlled by its
(Jonor to foster any particular school
of thought, or to shape public senti
ment in relation to society or Indus
try. Its place in the educational world
Is large and will be larger after its
founder's death.
In his present action Mr. Rocke
feller, above all else, lays stress on
the obligation resting on the people
for the maintenance of their schools.
He carries the university along to the
point where it should stand and ex
pand without his aid. He passes over
to the people of the great went an op-
portuntty which is rightly theirs.
made possible by his generosity. That
is the people's part in education and
other great philanthropies. The other
part is that contemplated in Senator
Gallingre new charter bill in con
gress for the settlement of the Rocke
feller foundation the limiting of
growth and power of great philau-
throptcs, throwing them necessarll)
upen the Influence of popular sup
port. Mr. Rockefeller evidently recog
nizes the soundness of this principle
and therefore seeks to make bis own
plans dovetail with It.
That Strike Talk.
According to latest reports, sixty
one railroads are still st outs with
their engineers and neither side is
! yielding to the demand for peaceful
settlement. The engineers threaten to
:tle up the whole country by striking
and the railroads say they will not
make concessions. If this Is simply
a game ot freeze out, where one side
Is trying to bluff the other into submis
sion, of course It Is Immaterial to the
public, providing it goes no further,
but the, public would be deeply con
cerned if it should progress beyond
this point.
Neither side could allow this dis
pute to go to a strike and expect any
public sympathy. Every consideration
of public Interest demands a different
adjustment. The parties to the con
troversy know this, too. The engi
neers are a sensible, stable lot of men,
far more conservative in their relation
to strikes than the average workmen.
They have riot had a strike in this
country of any extent for many years.
On the other 'hand, the railroads can
hardly expect to force a surrender by
insisting on the impossibility of a mid
dle ground.
So that when the bluffing period is
over and the factious have tired of
wasting time in violent threats, It
will comport with considerations of
common sense and Justice if the rail
roads and the engineers get down to
business and settle their differences
in a peaceful manner without inflict
ing hardship on the public as the third
party to every such dispute.
At Whose Summons?
The democratic slate 'senators who are
opposed to county option, and who were
summoned to a conference In Omaha, after
they had reuched here decided unanimously
to do nothing but exchange greetings and
adjourn. World-Herald.
It is really less important to know
what these democratic senators did at
their conference beyond "exchanging
greetings" than whose Bummons they
responded to.
Who is the self-constituted boss of
the democratic senators "opposed to
county option?"
Why should these democratic sena
tors travel to Omaha In answer to an
Invitation to a secret confab?
Why should the beneficent friend,
philosopher and guide of the demo
cratic senators confine attention to one
branch of the legislature and ignore
the other?
Is the state senate to be the embat
tled fortress manned by democratic
trusties, end the house left to shift
for itself? 4 . . ,
Are these democratic senators "op
posed to county option" to be sum
moned to Cmaha regularly during
session, or are they to take orders
over the telephone? Or is the hidden
power behind the throne to be located
in closed proximity at Lincoln? -
How did the names of these particu
lar democratic senators, and demo
cratic senators only, come to be on this
extra select invitation list, anyway?
As president of the Western Surgi
cal association, one of the leading sur
geons of our own city protests In his
annual address against graft in the
profession, particularly that form of
graft by which the Burgeon pays a
secret commission for securing busi
ness. It goes without saying that
when the surgeon divides with some
one else the patient or his heirs foot
a bill made to fit the requirements of
the case. Just how to uproot this
abuse we do not know unless by ap
plying the remedy of publicity, which
has proven so effective on other kinds
of graft. How would the surgeon like
to file under oath periodically Itemized
statements of receipts and expendi
tures a la candidates for office?
It transpires that the financial af
fairs of the police department's late
"souvenir book" are in an almost
hopeless muddle, and that the chief
beneficiaries are the carpet-bag
promoters rather than the members
of the Police Relief association. This
development reinforces what The Bee
has said time and again against all
schemes to replenish relief funds for
the police and fire departments by
selling either ball tickets or souvenir
books. It is a pernicious practice and
bound to lead to grave abuses, if
public contributions to these funds are
deemed necessary the police board,
i Itself, should make the appeal and all
contributions and remittances be sent
direct to the city treasurer.
Advices from Lincoln are to the
effect that our old friend, Frank Har
rison, with others, is protesting on the
ground of unfitness against the man
selected by the governor-elect for pen
itentiary warden. If he is not careful
Harrison will soon be accused of trying
to "dictate" Governor-elect Aldrich's
appointments.
Mr. Rockefeller is giving the Uni
versity of Chicago another $10,000,
000. He doubtless reached his de
cision to center his educational en
dowments there on receiving notice
from our last democratic legislature
that it would not permit the University
of Nebraska to accept any "tainted"
money.
The new Burlington freight termi

forded all the depot facilities Omaha
was entitled to.
Congressman Norrls occupies a
rather delicate position by reason of
the mention of his name In connection
with the vacancy on the federal circuit
court of appeals. Judge Norrls is
recognized as one of the leaders of the
insurgent element in the bouse and
reads his title clear to another two
years' service in the next congress. If a
judicial appointment should be ten
dered him some of his associates might
construe it as an attempt to bottle
him up, and should he accept some of
his enemies might intimate that he
had given up the fight when half won.
On the other hand, should the presi
dent fail to consider him In this con
nection, over-zealous admirers may
complain that no Insurgent leader has
any chance to secure recognition from
the present administration, no matter
how deserving. The whirligig of pol
itics produces strange inconsistencies.
Over In South Omaha some of the

O.N A HI WINKS BAI.
Results of Kfrlclent Management of
roatal Sen-Ire.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Mr. Taft's announcement that the ex
penditures' of the Postofflce department
during the present year will be kept within
its receipts Is the most gratifying Item of
news In his message. Ever since Wt, when
the department declared a modest dividend
of 12,5(10,000, or about 4Vi per cent., upon
the year's business, it has been showing
deficits. In 1W. It lost $T.000,000; In IttOB
more than $14,On0.000; in 1!W8 nearly $17,
000,000. But with the advent of Mr. Hitchcock,
who became postmaster-general on March
6, 1909, there appeared a change for the
better. The deficit for 1909, which had been
estimated In advance at $17,500,000, was cut
down to fi,000,o00, and the way was cleared
for even more radical economies (luring
1910. All of this was accomplished without
the aid of congress. The postal rates re
mained as they had been for twenty
years; there were no cuts In salaries; the
service was not curtailed In the slightest.
Mr. Hitchcock merely applied watchfulness
and common sense to the great business
under his management a business of more
than $4,000,000 a week and good results
began to appear at once.
It is pleasant to make note of his
earnestness and efficiency. To the country
at large he has been chiefly known In the
past as a practical politician as the job
distributer and general manipulator of
the Taft administration. But it now ap
pears that he is alsd. a faithful and hard
working public official, with a very real
capacity for great affairs. The discovery,
perhaps, need give no surprise. A success
ful politician must needs be a man of
ability and that ability must make Itself
apparent In any enterprise he undertakes.
The pity Is that so few politicians of the
practical sort show Mr. Hitchcock's de
sire to win a name for honest service to
the nation.
