This bits off the situation exactly.
The Boo has many times' pointed out
thai the' program" of the so-called
profcfcBslve republicans contains so
llttlhat l not already adopted Into
the -working laws of , Nebraska, that
one wonders that fhlnklog men
should be deceived byt the clamor oi
the Interested Individuals who aro so
energetically disturblnig the jeace by
their demands for "reform."
Nebraska baa quietly, but effect
ively, moved along a course that has
brought results In excess of expecta
tion In the way of progress." It Is
irue that "we have not JTt ' taken up
llh all Mie Ideas of the extremists,
but this does, not detract from the
Importance of the position assumed
by the state. The most satisfactory
reflec tion Jn connection with the ad
vance made In Nebraska is that It
has been accomplished . entirely
through the operation "of party ma
chinery, and the republican party Is
entitled ,to the entire credit. Ne-
braskans should' keep this In mind.
Publicity, the Real Bemedy.
The 'railroad ' securities commis
sion) headed by President Hadley of
Yale, after devoting a year n study
ing, out the bent means of controlling
the iWvinnce of railroad securities,
recommends enforced publicity of all
railroad financing as the most ef
fective method and the best weapon
against stock watering the govern
ment "baa at Us command. The com
mission significantly declares:
Arcurata knowledge of tha facts sur-
roilndlnif the laaufl of aacurttles and tha
expenditure of tha proceed ' l tha mat
ter of moat Importance.' It Is tha one
tiling which tha federal, government ran
effectively Insist upon:. It' la the funda
mental thine which must serve ' as , a.
basla to whatever regulation may, be?
ilred Id the 'future.. .
Without- finding fault, with the
commlaalon or, the idea that led to
Its creation for, undoubtedly, Its
technical ikluNui, 'roault tit great
good to the government ono I
struck with the simplicity of the
problem after all. .For several years
tb,s earne recommendation has been
coming from unexpert and uuteeh-
nlcal sources publicity as the cure
for many of these corporate abuses
particularly stock watering lu the is
suance of securities. "Turn on the
searchlight," has been the incessant
cry of this and many other newspa
pers forbears and it took no. pro
found investigation to aeo (he wisdom
of such a remedy. It waa the first
and most natural remedy to suggest
jtsel( upon a second' sober thought
of the evil to be remedied and It will
be the last one, too. Not until it Is
earuestly'appIiedV' will " the nbuses
complained of disappear. It is a vln
dlcation of this primal plan to have
this i commission's endorsement and
recomriiendatlbri.'of It, supported by
the prtsldent'a! approval.: For Mr,
Taft supports the commission's re
port raoBt heartily. ' '
Coal at an Industrial Sign. ,
The United States produced 40 per
cent of the world's output of coal In
1910, or JJ01, 595,37$ .bushels. It bas
nearly doubled Its coal production in
eleven years, that la from 1899 to
1910, while Great Britain, Us nearest
rival, Increased Its production In that
period only 20 per cent. -Tber United
States produces nearly twice as much
coal as auy other country. Great
Britain ranks second and Germany
third, with 296,007,699 bushels and
243,043,120 i bushels, respectively.
The Increase in production for the
United States In 1910 was more than
the total production of any foreign
country except Great Britain. Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and France.
All these statistics are culled from
the United States geological aurvey
and, therefore, are official.
From these stupendous' figures It
it cvldeut that while 1910 was ordi
narily a little quiet in a business
way) It showed no letup for the coal
Industry. Coal may be taken as a
fcign or industrial activity, just aa
utecl Ii regarded as the barometer
of the markets. There can be no
great fallltig off in coal miners' em
ployment when the mines need all the
men they can get to meet their urgent
and ever-Increasing demands.
In these eleven years of prodigious
increase in coal production the price
of coal to tie consumer has steadily
kept pace upward with the "output
and the price has gone forward much
aster than haw the ages of the
miners. In mauy cakes coal prices
are sustained by means of local
trusts apd combines, but there Is a
much moro general power that helps
to hold then) up. Only "a- very small
proportloa of American coal Is ex
ported. No foreign market offers
greater Inducements VI Mi lie borne
market. This Vountry's wealth In
coal cannot be estimated und when
we think of what we possess un
touched in Alaska, in addition to the
fabulous deposits on the continent,
we certainly have no cause for wor
rying over the possibility of exhaust
ing our supplies.
Protecting the Immigrant.
That the United States government
does not make a dead letter of the
passenger act of 1882, or any" other
law or regulation affecting the trans
portation of Immigrants, Is plainly
demonstrated In the action of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor
fining a British steamship company
In the cxtremeium of S,000 for
Ehameful abuse of some of these reg
ulations. ' According to the record,
the sanitary conditions In the steersge
of this ship were so vile that en route
from Europe to Hawaii fifty-seven
children nnd one adult died, .and
others were stricken with disease.
Every attempt of the ship's officers
to explain away the conditions was
futile; showing that Uncle Sam plays
no favorlten In enforcing these laws.
The American government, of
course, could afford to do nothing
short of Its very best to protect the
life and health of these people who
ride In the steerage from their native
land to their new homes In conti
nental America or any of Its insular
possessions. To countenance condi
tions such as those described In this
British vessel would be to sot an
unnecessarily hard task for ourselves
In the first impressions upon the
minds of these newcomers. We could
not tolerate such as this without
largely neutralizing our pains at
Ellis Island and other ports of entry,
as well as the places of embarkation.
So that aside from any sentimental
reason for sanitation is every prac
tical reason.
Lawyers and Their Clients. .
Clarence Harrow's record In the
McNamara case puts the ancient and
honorable profession of the law In a
peculiar position. Darrow admits
that for months he knew his clients
were guilty, yet be went right ahead
pleading their Innocence and prcpar
Ing for a fight to convince twelve
men of their Innocence until sud
denly a stone wall, aa he puts It,
rose up In front of blm and the Mc-
Namaras an Impregnable atone wall
In the form, of Jury bribing, - and
then he surrendered and admitted
publicly this secret he bad kept foe
monlhs, that his clients were guilty.
It .raises the' question' of how far
a skilled lawyer Is justified in going
in his defense of a client; of where
,hig duty to his client ends and that
to the state and society begins? It
is not comfortable to . contemplate
the thought of great lawyers like
Clarence parrow deliberately giving
themselves and all their skill and In
genulty over to the task of trying to
prove 'innocent men they know to
be guilty of such crlphca as these men
committed. It Impels the question,
how extensively Is It done? How
many other lawyers beside Clarence
Parrow are doing It?
A secondary definition of lawyer
la a "bramble In the thorny atom of
a brier." That Is not the . one, though,
on which the old Idea and the com
mon, conception of the term rests.
Tbe Nebraska Rural Life commis
sion is asking questions of tho citi
zens, especially those residing on
farms, which are pertinent and
ought to be carefully answered. The
work of the commission is hampered
by the fact that the money at Its dis
posal is entirely inadequate, but if
the cltlzena will only co-operate with
the commission, much good can be
accomplished; enough, at any rate
to justify the undertaking.
The official newspaper organ of the
czar of Russian anticipates the abro
gation of the treaty between that
country and the United States, and
calmly places the blame on this couu
try, citing our Immigration regula
tions aa "Incredibly cruel." This
course will not relieve the Russian
government of responsibility la the
eye of the world.
Aviator Ttogers finally touched
bottom In the Pacific ocean and ended
his trip, which w ill be recognized as

he progressed there Is some question
as to whether the airship will soon

Overland Limited.
The coming of the Rock Island
terminal freight house will remove a

SOUTH OMAHA. Dec. 3.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Please publish the
subjoined "Bulletin:"
Fellow citizens, especially those of
you who supported Felix Joshua Mc
tfhane at my solicitation: I desire to make
a public apology to you on that account.
He deceived me, therefore, I am blame
lea. ila has deceived more than me,
too, to their grief and to his everlasting
shame. I had no acquaintance with this
will-be "proxy sheriff,"' never heard of
him until he filed for of?'.ca at tho dic
tation of the city hall Butler brothers
and another worthy, Mr. Glllan of the
ctly hall, this city. Friends, please keep
your temper. Everything Is revealed by
time. It would surprise mo If I received
respectable treatment from tho olltlcal
highwaymen. I would have a doubt about
my character, and character. Is better
than wealth. The warriors of the Cresote-
Harco combine and the beef trust say that
I am a transgressor that must be pun
ished. Consequently a program was ar
ranged and carried out whereby the
proxy sheriff and his guardian ansnl,
t. Charlie," were present at a prlvuto
benepjet given by a Christian statesman
of renown a navigator who has a prefix
before his name that a woman ' could
throw a washtub through. It was a
"benevolent assimilation" of tho paving
combine, the beef trust, village black
smiths and their political lackles, gotten
up for the purpose of persecuting me. for
my Ideas tin the labor question. "Hope
consoles the persecuted." Nevertheless It
Is humiliating fur a man to be Ignored
by a political accide.it, a spineless
nonenity, such as McShanc.
There Is a Scriptural quotation which
says that "afflictions and humiliations"
If used profitably will help to prepare
for a great hereafter. I assure you that
my afflictions and humiliations are to be
used profitably towards the purification
of the bushwhackers, highbinders and
porch climbers on their political here
after. My effort In endeavoring to purify
these dervishes might be called Christian
civilization; ' It la ono of the corporal
works of mercy to Instruct the Ignorant.
I will guarantee that these moral as
sassins that Is, If they have any morals
shall have Instructions before I yvt
through with them. '

More for Mother Eve.
COUNCIL. BLUFFS, la..' Dec. ll.-To
the Editor of The Bee: AU honor Is due
to F. J. Irwin for hia gallant defence of
Mother Eve in your issue of December s.
The real culprit, aside from the serpfcnt,
waa Adam himself, as the command not
to eat the fruit was given to htm before
she was - created. ' And, although xhe
seems to have known, or rather thought
It was wrong, Adam was older and more
experienced in' the ways of the world
and should have stood by , her and not
left her alone to argue with the most
subtle creature of tho universe.
I have often thought the humiliation
following this exposure had . much to do
with the unfvrtunate disposition of her
first born son, Cain.
I have never had tho veneration a boy
should for his grandfather, a.a 1 would
If Adam had taken a base ball club and
bruised that snake's head to a jelly right
then and there Instead of having him
bruise our boys' heels for centuries, espe
cially as most of us went barefoot In the
summer-some from choice and some
from necessity. '
As to Eve, aside from her purity of
character, she was, possessed' of great
beauty, as in speaking of her the great
poet, Milton, thus describes her while
being led by her Creator tor introduction
to her husband:
"Grace was in all her steps, heaven in
her eye, In every gesture dignity and
love."
Where will we find a man who will
measure up to that standard'.'
Again, the . late Hubert Ingersoll de
clared her to ba tha best Job the Lord
had turned out' up to""fia( date." For
tunately, her girls seem to have Inherited
many of her good qualities, while, unfor
tunately, the boys seem to pattern largely
after the old man, as will appear by com
paring the relative number of the sexes
in our penal institutions.
As Mr. Irwin says, this atrocious libel
upon the mothers of our race has been
rolling down the ages until it achieved
lta highest legitimate results recently in
Kansas, where a gang of brave (?) men
lured a lone girl Into a secluded place,
stripped and smeared her with tar!
Oh, for more Carrie Nations!

OMAHA, Neb., Ic. . To the Editor of
The Bee: The pure food law protects the
honest manufacturer as well as the con
sumers against adulterated food. Why
not apply the name law to other branches
of business and protect the honest mer
chant against the cutthroat competition
who resort to unfair business methods,
and thereby protect the public, who are
the ones who auffrr most, and who are
lured by attractive advertisements and
misleading statements to bring them Jnto
their places of business; who spring up
In a night and disappear and depart for
greener pastures with the break of day.
And" as'there" are remedte"for every
evil, there surely ought to be one for this
growing evil. J. ENGLEMAN.

WHEN SHE COMES HOME.
James Whltcomb Riley. ,
When she cornea home again! A thou
sand way a
I fashion, to myself, the tenderness
Of my glad welcome; I shall tremble
yes: And touch her, as when first In the old
days
I touched her girlish hand, nor dared
upraise
Mine eyes, such was my faint heart's
sweet distress. .
The room will away a little, and a haze
Cloy eyesight soulslght, ever for a
spare;
And teare yes; and tho a.che here In the
throat,
To know that I so Jll deserve the place.
Her arms make for men; and the sobbing
note
I stay with kisses, ere the tearful fate
Again ts hidden In the old embrace.
