The Wool Growers' Convention.
Omaha will entertain this week
one of the most Important gather
iDgs that ever assembled here.
The National Wool Growers' asso
ciation represents in Itself an In
dustry of vast extent and great In
terest to the (reneral public. The
flock-masters of the United State
bate been before the public !n one
way or another for many years.
Sheep raising bas been one of the
Incidentals of general agriculture In
the t'nlted States sin'e the forma
tion of the government, end bas
always been favored by one form or
another of law. The establishment
of groat flocks of sheep in the west
a few yesrs ago brought the industry
to the front aa one of real national
Importance. The discussion that
followed on the pasisge of the Aid-rich-Payne
tariff bill focused atten
tion on the aheep men. This atten
tion baa naturally aroused them be
cause of the attacks tbst followed
on the allegation that the wool
schedule was unjust and burden
some. The wool growers have been
able to make a very strong esse In
their own defense, end the Omaha
convention will no doubt take action
to give this still further emphasis.
But thla has nothing to do with
the welcome that will be extended
to these visitors by the citizens.
They will be made to feel at home
while In Omaha. They will get
here an object-lesson of the impor
tance of the local market, both for
sheep and for wool, and when they
take their departure, it will be with
the knowledge that their visit wt
well timed, and that the people of
Omaha are Interested In their pros
perity, and will hope to see them
continue to thrive.
Packers Hastening Their Trial,
The large meat packers charged
with violating the Sherman anti-trust
law are evidently sincere In their
eagerness for a speedy trlsl In the
federal court at Chicago. Their law
yers seem to be co-operating with the
government to hasten proceedings,
without undue exaggeration of tech
nical obstacles.
Had the packers adopted this
course eight years ago they would
updoubtedly have seen the wisdom of
it long before now. There Is resson
to believe thst they realize tbat fight
ing the case on purely technical
grounds, resisting trial for eight
years, has weakened public faith In
their claims and stimulated popular
distrust and unbelief In the Integrity
of their case. ' People will naturally
rgue In such cases, it they are not
guilty. If they have a good case, why
do they fear to go to trial? The
packera have themselves to blame if
public sentiment is presumptious of
their position. Eight years of con
stant sparring with the technique of
the law -to prevent a plain trial In
open court upon the merits of a case
cannot be expected to Inspire confi
dence In the case. Several times it
appeared as if the government bad
at last brought the defendants up to
the bar and their argus-eyed lawyers
would find a new way to stave oft the
trial again.
It Is quite probable tbat the pack
era' case Is not as bad as their course
forelght years bas made people be
lieve It It la regrettable that Inter
ests so extensive and principles so
Important must be subjected to the
disadvantage of popular prejjdlce.
The packers are not the only "big
business" tbat haa made the aame
serious blunder. They see now that
they are up against a trial, the ex
pediency of going through with It
without unnecessary delay. It Is fo
the law s credit that, though It af
forded opportunity for so many de
lays, u wsa able In the end to bring
the accused to a simple trial and a
very great tribute to the faithful p?r-
slhtency of the government.
Dodge, Omaha, Union Pacific.
The Chicago Evening Post speaks
of "General Grenvllle M. Dodge of
Omaha." Technically, that ta Incor
rect, for General Dodge's legal real
dunce la across the river from Omaha,
In Council Bluffs, la., but literally,
the Evening Post bas made no mis
take. General Grenvllle M. Dodge's
name and Omaha's and the Union Pa
cific's go together, and the great. sur
veyor, who led the line that marked
the path of the first transcontinental
railroad, might reside In Zanzibar,
but would still be thought of and
spoken of aa "General Grenvllle M.
Dodge of Omahv"
The Chicago paper was comment
log upon 'The Event of December 2,
1S63," the breaking of the ground
for the construction of this road, of
which Omaha was then and Is now
the headquarters and the eastern
terminus. It was here in those early
days thst the greet men of the coun
try met In laying and executing their
plans for this pioneer road and aa
long as their masterly building
stands these three nsmes Dodge,
Omaha, Union Pacific will be in
disb!ub!y linked together.
How well those old engineers, led
by General Dodge, worked became
apparent to the late Mr. Harrlman
when be undertook the job of short
ening the route to Ogden. He finally
succeeded In clipping off about forty
two miles cf it, but be did most or
that by reducing grades and curves
st the expenditure of many millions.
He found that those men who had
come along a half-century before, to
penetrate an unknown and what
seemed to be at times sn Impene
trable fastness of eavagory, had lo
cated the shortest poaslble route.
Men have tried to build monuments
fo tbeee rugged pioneers' memories.
This Is the best snd rnoK enduring
nionument the road, itself.
Beet Sunr Methods.
Much of what James Bodkin, the
Colorado sugar bet grower, told the
tongreasional Sugar trut Investiga
tion committee about the methods of
the Great Western Sugar company is
not new to the history of the beet
sugar Industry in the weet. Some of
the Impositions snd dark dealings
complained of In Colorado were prac
ticed years sgo In Nebraska, as well
as other weetern states, which once
believed they had discovered new
rosds to wealth and Industrial great
ness by the beet sugar route.
Mr. Bodkin says the sugar com
pany baa a way of biding from the
farmer the amount of sugar In a bet
and of thus manipulating prl'es to
suit Itself. It haa always had tbat
way. It was because the beet grower
found out enough of this and similar
ways to know that there was small
profit In raising sugar beets except
o the monopoly thst seems to have
gained control of the raw as well as
the finished product that the bot
tom soon fell out of an industry In
several western states, which at first
riVAmlse iha awai m lr In 4 0 BAa.ilta '
But now if, to sll other Imposi
tions, the trust has added the offense
of peonage, It Is high time it was
brought to legal accounting. The
Colorado grower seems to know what
be Is talking about In thla connec
tion and a good many other people
familiar with the history of the beet
sugar methods in the west know tbat
years ago colonies of foreigners were
plented and bandied for the rougher
work in harvesting the crops and
that out of the system arew many a
condition tbat ought' not to have
been allowed. It would not be sur
prising to find full confirmation In
the facts for all that Mr. Bodkin rep
resents. One has a right to ask if other
articles, about cities and men, writ
ten by Lincoln Steffens, contain no
mora truth than the one formally
and officially denounced as utter
falsehood by Judge Bordwell of Los
Angeles. It ts a most exceptional
thing for a judge on the bench to
take official cognizance of a news
paper article to the extent of deny
ing It In toto. It must take a mighty
big departure from facts to bring
a judge to do that. It would be In
teresting to have Judge Bordwell or
some other Impartial and courageous
Jurist sit In Judgment on some other
Steffens effusions.
The care of the attorneys who are
defending the indicted packers In
Chicago to ascertain the philological
and etymological qualifications of the
veniremen will no doubt convince
tbelr clients that they have blred the
right lawyers. A man's ability to de
termine the facts In this case unques
tionably rests on his capacity to class
ify and define rare and obaolete poly
syllables, but the condition points out
the necessity for reform to the extent
that legal documents be couched In
terms so plain that "he who runs
may read."
The covert attach on the' corn
mission form of government by the
junior yellow surprised nobody. Yet
It comes with very poor grace from
that source. The citizens of Omaha
by a very decisive vote determined
in favor of substituting the commis
sion for the existing form, and it
remains for them to select the com
missioners who will be qualified to
carry out that Idea. Cuts from
behind are not going to halt the
movement
City Clerk Butler is proposing to
provide a number of portable booths
In which to hold elections. Before
going too fsr into this plan, it may
be of service to recall the experi
ence of Omaha with tho famous "tln
clada" that Chris Specht once pro
vided for similar purposes. The
economy of the experiment was not
supported by experience.
Russia Is about to have an experi
ence with "shirt-sleeve" diplomacy
which may teach the jugglers with
faith at St, Peteraburg more than
they have learned In the last century.
Uncle Ssm's Insistence on good faith
and atrlct observance of treaties bas
modified the practice of diplomats
generally and the Ruaalan will Boon
know this.
The tender consideration ahown by
the Steel trust as Illustrated by Judge
Gary Is most touching. If this great
corporation had shown similar con
sideration for the public there would
not now be so much clamor against
It.
A healthy condition of Omaha
banks Is showu by the report to the
comptroller. It is not a novel condi
tion, though, for the banka of Omaha
have always been rated as among the
really solid financial Institutions of
the country.

w hope they will do so without holding;
up the cltixens again, It haa neyer been
of much service as a place for public

OMAHA, Deo. I To the Editor of Th"
Bee: Woodrow Wilson, the candidate in
th field for the dem-cratic nomination
for president Is not Just clear as to his
stand on certain of the present day ones
tlons. It ts generally supposed that Mr.
Wl'son stands squarely on the democracy
which Mr. Bryan advocates, but If w
ar to go into ths subject snd find whs
th record shows aa to Mr. Wilsons
position i on the tariff we must soon b
convinced that he Is a rank protectionist.
In his book, "Mere Literature," he has
ths following to say on this very Im
portant quoatlon. Ills posit. on can hardly
be questioned, as this (was written Just
at the time when th trusts were belns
organized. Mr. Wilson says:
"Without the free lands to which every
man who chose might go there wouM
not have been that easy prosperity of
Ufa and that high standard of abundance
which seems to render It necessary that.
If w were to have manufactures and a
diversified Industry at all, we should
footer new undertakings by a system of
protection which would make the profits
of the factory as certain and as abundant
as th profits of the farmers." Pn? I
Now. how many bumps do you meed to
convince yourself that Mr. WIL.i.n ia h
protectionist T The above quotation seems
to have been overlooked by those who
have been advocating th nomination of
tb New Jersey governor.
Mr. Underwood Is a protectionist too.

OMAHA. Dec. 5. To the Editor of The

not a news Item In your columns per
taining to Rev. M. B. Williams' address
before the social science department of
ths Woman's club and am moved to ex
press a few comments theron.
When on listens to th diatribes of
these venerable prelates. It seems almost
Inconceivable that any person refrains
from expressing pointedly and with final
ity his righteous Indignstlon at th rile
Implications conveyed. Too many of the
gentlemen rise up and would show others
th straight and narrow path while at th
same time displaying the grossest ignor
ance on matters of social concern. I will
grant that etiquette requires a young girl
to be chaperoned In publlo, but that Is
merely a survival of the age when sup
posedly women were not respected as
now. To assume without cessation that
every young man makes improper ad
vances when he meets a girl un
chaperoned Is a statement no one can
prove. It Is an aspersion that should be
stoutly realstsd by every male member of
th human race. A change of sentiment
In this respect ts desirable and will best
afford sufficient refutation to all such
expressed vagaries. Tours truly,
