The resignation of onyinet'i *
Wallace of the Panama force !
is creating a lot of criticism
from various quarters ami it is
Bnitl that Konsevoltcloes not en
deavor to conceal his anger at
such an act Wallace had been
nnxionsto engage in the work at
a salary of S'JH.OOO a year and
after securing the position and
nlong with it a great deal of
honor and publicity that his
profession could have brought
him in' no uthvr position he
might have secured , lie resigned
to accept a sixty thousand dollar
lar job with a private company.
That is a big advance in salary ,
but where was he given the
right to ignore a contract with
his government and repudiate
an honorable agreement ?
It is becoming far too common
now days for prominent men to
broalc their plighted word and
demand with impunity a re
lease from , any obligation that
stands iii the way of the making
more wealth. These cases are
forcing themselves upon us with
a regularity that is fast becom
ing to familiar to the public.
The golden god is the only one
that our children are being
taught to worship.
Patriotism , honesty , religion
and friendship are being held

true American , but rather it is
demonstrated by our cabinet
officers and leaders , that it is
profitable and necessary tci

pays you the price.

life , the teacher is offered a bet

lie does not consider that it is
his business to honor a contract
and teach the youth under him to
consider their word as good as
their bond , in fact the "pro
fessor" laughs at you and says
"you can't get damages from
me until you can suck blood out
of a turnip.1'
The preacher gets a higher
call and he hears it as quickly
as he heard the divine call to
preach , and right in the middle
ol the year he goes to another
charge.
The farm hand has seen his
teacher and spiritual adviser do
these things and along toward
harvest when help is scarce , he
announces that he is going with
a threshing outfit the rest of
the summer and leaves his em
ployer on short notice.
So it goes on up and dov\n the
ranks of the people until in
every walk of life , it is imposs
ible to be sure of your man un
less you pay him the price. Con
tract and agPM'iiUMit are void if
a dollar is to be gained.
So long as the first question
we ask about a man who has
died , is , How much is his es
tate worth ? and so long as
we admire a woman for the hat
she wears , just so long can we
expect the god of gold to hold
his sway and honor and prin
ciple be held as secondary matters -
ters of consideration.

The President's Plan.
Although the railroads , for the
sake of form , keep up a fitfht
against the principle of govern
ment control of rates , there is no
doubt that the best they hope to
doin the present contest is to de
feat the president's recommenda
tion that rates determined upon
by the interstate commerce conr
mission shall take effect at once.
This is a vital point. Without a
law putting the new rate into
effect at once , the rail
roads will carry every case
through the courts , and
practically defeat any rate regu
lation by tiring their opponents
out by long drawn and expensive
litigation. On the other hand ,
the railroads argue that to put
the new rate in effect at once
does them an injustice , for in
case they should carry the case
into the courts and their conten
tion be upheld , they would be
out the difference between the
higher and the lower rate. It
has been suggested that the law
be made so as to allow the roads
to appeal from the decision of
the commission , the rate mean
while remaining as of old. and
fthe | railroads to issue certificates
to freight payers entitling them
to a rebate of the difference in
rates in case the decision should
t go againit the railroad. This
t however , is so manifestly unfair
to the smaller producers and
consumers as to be entirely im
practical. By far the greater
part of the farmers' produce is
shipped by middlemen. Practi
cally all their grain is so shipped
and in fact , it is charged that a
farmer cannot ship his own grain
if he wants to do so. While : i
grain rate is being held up umlei
this law , therefore , the farmei
would be paid for his grain on th <
basis of the high freight rate
raid the middlemen would get th *
rebate in case the rate was low
ered. Likewise , buyers of good ;
at retail would get no beuefi
. . from such a rebate , but only tin
. ' middleman.
After all , since rates have to bra
based on a presumption until tin
ra courts have finally passed upoi
is it not fair t
ir them , why as
irm presume that the rate set by
disinterested commission is fail
as to presume that the rate st
ve by an interested railroad manage
as is fair ? Evidently , the simples
rh and fairest plan is the president
rhm to have a rate set by the commi ;
m
sion after a fair hearing , an
by have that rate govern until th
in courts have decided against it.-

Merely A Memory.
The item in last week's Tri
bune announcing the death of
Prof. Rich , brought regret to
many of the alumnae of the
Falls City high school , as well as
to many who left the schoolroom
long before they had earned a
diploma. It has been many years
sine Prof. Rich had charge of
the schools in this city , and since
then the boys and girls have been
growing elder and it is men and
women in middle life who now
regret the passing of their old in
structor.
Prof. Rich was here when the
writer was a ver } * little boy , five
years old , and went to school
earl } ' one September morning for
the first time. The school for
the little folks was in the old
building that used to stand across
the street from the Central
school , and the little folks used
to look at the big building across
the way with a sense of awe. and
half dread and half long for the
time when they should become so
wise and so profoundly learned
that they , too , might march
through those wide portals and
into the midst of the myster } ' that
those walls must surely contain.
Well , on that bright September
morning so many years ago ,
when the teacher of the primary
department had brought order
out of chaos and arranged seats
for all of her new charges , the
door at the rear of the room
opened and a very large man en
tered , walked up the aisle and
st6od talking to the teacher. The
little fellow who occupied the
the seat with me whispered ,
"Thet's him ; th' perfcsser , " and
my heart sunk , for I had heard
awful tales of the strange
who had his den some place ovei
in the big building across the
street and I had been told by y.
very dirty little boy who ha <
been to school last year , how
once upon a time a little boy hat
broken a rule and had been sen
to the "perfesser , " and IKK
never been seen afterward am
e l
surely he had been killed an <
perhaps devoured. For a momen
Prof. Rich stood talking to tlr
a teacher and then turned am
spoke a few words to the school
but I do not remember what h
said because I was possessed will
a nameless terror and a dumL
unreasoning dread. Across th
eisle from me sat Lizzie Yutzy
who was a very little girl , an
when Prof. Rich came down th
aisle , she looked up into his fac :
and smiled and when he stoppet
to I vaguely wondered if she wer
8. to be punished and I felt verj
18 very sorry for her and I wishe
ut that she had not smiled. Bt :
ul the big man put out his hand an
PV
ka patted her soft hair and he , tot
smiled and passed through tli
U door and over to his den in tl :
'i8 big building across the stree
I was never afraid of Prof. Ric
after that , because he had smilt
or | when the little girl smiled and 1
had touched her soft hair vei
gentb * with his big hand.
One morning when the teacher
came to school , her eyes were
very red and when the shuffling
of little feet had ceased and the
little hands were folded on the
desks , the teacher told us that
little Lizzie would never come to
school again and she tried to tell
us why , but we could not under
stand , only we knew that some
thing dreadful had happened.
Years ago the mystery was ex
plained to us all. I know now
why little Lizzie never came back
to the seat just across the aisle.
When I heard that Prof. Rich
was dead , I went home and sat
on the front porch and watched
the stars shine in the cool even
ing and their silver beams were
tvoven into the outlines of faces
; ind places and the things of
which I have told you. And as
he starbeams pencilled the pic-
tire I wondered if , out behind the
canvas woven of that stuff of
which memories are made , the
spirit of Prof. Rich had not al
ready paused to lay a hand very
gently on the soft hair of a little
girl who had been there for so
many , many years. But , who
knows ?
