The present prospects are that the
Missouri legislature will settle down
to a fight that will continue as long as

It would prove a sad blow to the

This freight rate rebate business
and nil ether questions growing out
of corporation control of railroads
may some day bo all settled by the
government ownership of the proper
ties ot the railroads. It Is certain
that the people would rather trust the
government to run the railroads
in their Interests than any company
or corporation under the sun.
If the railroads do not desire to
give the people a chance through the
passing of an anti-rebate law and the
giving of the interstate commerce
commission power to regulate rates ,
bow would they like the government
to secure complete ownership of all
the railroad systems of the country ?
Such an outcome IB qulto possible If
they will not concede to the public
fair play and reasonable rates.
It IB not BO much a question of
whether the railroads can Bland a reg
ulation of rates hy the government as
t IB whether the pcoplo will longer
submit to tholr complete and abso
lute dictation In matters of public in
terest. The opportunity appears to
ho at hand for the pcoplo to get Jus
tice and that IB what the railroads do
not want.
It has not yet been absolutely es

There are criticisms from certain
quarters regarding the contract made
by the commissioners of Madison
county for the publication of the pro
ceedings of the board and the official
notices ; some of the critics going so
far ns to question the republicanism
of members of the board. The only
OXCUBO for criticism hy some newspa
pers Is that certain publishers have
not secured as largo n slice of the
"spoils" belonging to the victors as
they think they should have. The
commissioners arc to bo congratulated
for their ability to subordinate abso
lute partisanship to a business prop
osition. They received a proposition
In which was Included every republi
can paper In the county and the two
leading democratic papers , thus giving
the business of the board the widest
possible publicity. The law provides
the prlco nt which this matter shall be
paid for In "ono paper of general circu
lation In the county , " but If In making
this appropriation the commissioners
arc able to secure publication In sev
eral papers without added cost , they
are using sound and commendable
business judgment. They are making
the best possible use of the tax payers
money by getting the matter before
as many of the people who pay the
taxes as possible. The commissioners
hat ] a proposition to this effect before
them and no tax payer , be he repub
llcan or democrat , should find fault
for getting the fullest possible returns
for the money. If , perhaps , the "dlv
vy" Is too small , the papers that are
satisfied with the proposition might
not object if the kickers should drop
out , but so far as the commissioners
are concerned they exercised keen dls
comment and no criticism Is duo from
pcoplo who are broad enough to rccog
nlzo a good business proposition from
the standpoint of the public. When
the time comes that the partisanship
of an official shall bo tested by the
amount of money he Is able to load
upon his party workers regardless o
the service given , It will bo time fo
the country to discard all civil service
reforms and return to the policy o
giving the victors the spoils regardless
of the public weal. It will also bo
time for the public to take a hand rflu
eliminate partisanship to the fullcs
possible extent.
It would seem that it Is up to the
Mexican government to take a ham
toward the elimination of-tho trouble
that frequently grows out of the nc
tlon of the Yaqui Indians. A countrj
cannot bo said to bo fully compcten
that will permit such dangers to
threaten sojourners or its own Inhab
itants.
The beef trust Is very likely to go
hurt in ono way or another. Outside
of the fact that the government has
been taking a strong position agalns
its operation , the various newspapers
and magazines are keeping the people
ple informed and the state legislatures
and ether forces are working to annl
hllato the combination. It Is hardly
possible that it will bo able to stand
up and do business with all the cf
forts being put forth in opposition.
It only cost (20,000 to learn that the
ury In the Dr. Koch murder trial at
Now Ulm , Minn. , could not roach an
agreement. It Is qulto n largo sum
or learning nothing and the pcoplo
vould have probably felt that tholr
(
money wont to hotter purpose If the
ury had given a verdict With the
aw providing , however , that the vcr-
let of the jury must bo unanimous
hero will probably continue to bo
toro disagreements than acqulttalu
nd convlctlonu combined.
Japan has been sizing up the elo-
bant that has boon left on Its hands
hrough the surrender of Port Arthur
nd finds that n few more than olgh-
ccn thousand sick and wounded have
icon loft to Its caro. Russia trusts
ho Japanese to give these pcoplo the
jest of attention and the Japs will
tndoubtcdly fulfill the obligation to
heir credit , but will probably bo
hankful that the enemy cannot 1m-
ncdlaltoly bestow any moro of their
soloHS citizens In n like manner.
The c/ar Is reported to have been
rostrated by the news of the rovo-
ullonnry tendency on the part of his
> coplo. As long as he allows his per-
onnl ambition for his country's wel-
are to bo subordinated to the will of
ils nobles and aristocrats who Insist
pen grinding the blood out of the
pcoplo ns they wish , ho Is liable to
overal similar prostrations. "Tho
Ittlo father" should assert himself or
prepare to clear the way for repub-
lean sentiment.
Chicago docs not take kindly to the
Ivorsion of grain shipments from
hat city and the Atlantic coast to
gulf points where shipments are
undo to Europe. There is a suspi
cion of secret rebate business and
Chicago has asked the interstate com
merce commission to look Into the
deal. Nebraska farmers , with these
wo markets contending for their crop
eel some satisfaction and need have
10 fear that they will over bo with
out n market as long as this competl-
Ion exists.
Niedrlnghaus only lacked a few
votes to bring him Into that six-year
position as United States senator from
Missouri but it is the few votes that
proved moro difficult of obtaining than
the many. The six men who turned
against the party nominee may mean
thousands of dollars expense to the
Lax payers and many hours of extra
work to the legislators. Through It
all the fact Is likely to bo emphasized
In Missouri that the election of sen
ator by direct vote of the people Is
to bo desired and if this is not possi
ble the next best thing is the nomina
tion of the man in party convention ,
as was done In Nebraska ,
Wisconsin appears to bo competent
to settle the senatarshlp matter with
llttlo unnecessary delay , and the
choice of the legislators Is far from
objectionable to the people of the
state and the country who are
confident that the instilling of a
little LeFolletlsm Into the United
States senate will do It no harm. If
Missouri should find it necessary to
send a democrat now , and should so
loot Folk , there would be a pair In
the senate who might accomplish won
ders with the aid of President Roosc
volt In behalf of the people , provided
Folk would not consider himself bourn
hy party ties to prevent republican ac
tlon.
Land lubbers who have never seen
an ocean going vessel or those who
have never realized their capacity wll
find interest In speculating on the ac
compllshment of the new Minnesota
which recently departed on its maiden
trip to the orient. The vessel was
loaded with 22,000 tons of merchandise
which , at twenty tons to the car load
would mean that It carries the con
tents of 11,000 railroad cars or with
twenty-five cars to a train , forty-fou
trnlnloads of freight. If such a vessel
sol Is a wonder to the people famllla
with ocean carrying trade , It certain
ly could not fall to astonish those who
have never seen anything larger than
a prairie schooner.
The report from New York that of
flclals representing twenty-nine rail
way systems of the country , which
practicality includes all , had mot to
organize in opposition to the proposed
railroad rate laws that Prcslden
Roosevelt urges congress to adopt , 1
Important if true. The president and
the people would like to see the oppo
sition lined up so that they may bo
able to reajlzo the exact opposition
and if the railroads will maintain the
opposition and permit their support
in congress to bo known they wil
confer a lasting favor on a people
who are seriously meditating a reform
In a direction contrary to the wishes
of the railway manipulators and stock
holders. President Roosevelt la a
power In himself , but when It Is real
Ized that about ninety-nine out of
every hundred people are favorable
o his plans , the railroad pcoplo should
understand just what they have under-
akcn to accomplish If they work for
ofoat of the measure.
THE RUSSIAN UPRISING.
The latest situation confronting the
zar and his government nt St. Peters
burg is by far the most serious that
hey have experienced slnco the be
ginning of the war with Japan. Re-
olllon , revolution , civil war are now
caring their heads In a country In
vhlch the people have long boon dla-
atlstlcd and unless the government
xcrclses a strong and fearless arm or
'rants concessions that have hereto-
ere been refused there Is the possl-
illlty of a rupture that will prove fatale
o the present dynasty.
The present emperor began his rule
by creating reforms that had the ap-
roval of civilized governments nnd
ho people of his country who had
jeon aroused by the absolutism of the
ulc then in vogue and he was warmly
ommendcd for his action , but Instead
f following up the policy and giving
ho people a nearer approach to re-
ubllcnnlsm he has been influenced by
dvlsors who wished to curtail the cf-
oct of his previous reforms and when
10 was drawn into a war with Japan
hat means a largo expenditure of
) lood and money for the accreatlon of
orrilory of small value the people
ave become Justly impatient and pro-
> ese to take advantage of the absence
f a great number of the czar's forces
vho have gone to the far east , to on-
orco an approach to republican rule
vhlch is conceded the best by every
Ivlllzcd government In the world.
The czar mny succeed In putting
; own this insurrection , but it Is con-
Idercd that it will bo but a matter of
Imo when the people will exert thorn-
elves toward securing a bettor , broad
er and higher administration of gov
ernmental affairs than the czar nnd
ils advisors arc at present Inclined to
accord them.
In splto of the dictatorial policy of
ho government , civilization and ed-
icntlon has been working in the Rus
slas and the people are prepared to
nko n hand and administer the laws
n accordance with modern theories.
The peasants have long desired a cur-
ailment of the power of the nobility
which has como In other European
countries and they are almost abso-
utely certain to succeed one time or
another , and If they have the proper
will nnd judicious leaders this may
be the time that they will come upper
most
Willie there is no chance for doubt
that the czar nnd his advisors arc
largely responsible for conditions
through their official actions , there Is
a sentiment of sympathy for them
throughout the civilized world. They
would appear to have their hands full
In caring for the alleged Interests of
the country that are threatened by
the Japanese , but their troubles have
been largely Increased by the bellige
rent attitude of the people at home
who might be expected to uphold their
hands against a foreign power.
