AUTOMOUILE DEATHS.
On Wednesday of tlio past week
there were at loiiHt llvo deaths nntl
d\- serous Injuries tit tlilH country
from automobile accidents. Rarely
dooa tliu mm not on ix day tlmt tlooa
not rocortl n. number of Horloua cntna-
trophofl from tlio big machines. Swift
Tnrbell of Now York , who was hurt
HIM other dny , declared ho would never
rldo In u cur ugnln. The nmny acci
dents uro merely marking nn epoch
In the nutoniohllo which will uoon pass
nwny , without the IIIWH. Today the
nuto fud IB n fad for Bpood ; tomorrow
the automobile will become , IIB the
Mcyclo haa become , ouo of the moat
vnlunblo and UBoful fnctors in the
commercial world.
In the Immense carrying power of
the auto and In HB ability to tirelessly
travel over nil kinds of ronda , up hill
nnd down , llea n fundamental princi
ple uiKii which will rest the future
usefulness of the car. For n time BO-
duty will make a speed-toy of the
car , testing the record-brenklng pace
to satisfy n natural mania for excite
ment , but after n time the country's
Interest In the machine nnd Its speed
us a toy will wane , and the big , potent
cnra will take on a more , consorvntlvo
commorclnl value which will grow
each year.
Already In the cities the automobile
la pushing the horse out of his har
ness on ninny big tlrny nnd delivery
wagons , nnd thla uao of the Invention
will' spread wthout fall.
After n time the novelty of "scorch-
Ing , " nnd thus Imperilling lives of
both pnsacngors nnd people on the

bicycles , to the slower , safer nnd more
valuable uses for commercial , time
saving and money saving purposes.
FALSE PLEAS TO FARMS.
Centralized creameries are making
false appeals to the farmers In an In
defensible effort to bring projudlcal
pressure upon the state railway com
inisson In Its fixing of cream rates
The centralized creameries are argn
Ing thus :
If the Htnto railway commlssloi
flnda , na the railroads are now con
tending , that the freight rates 01
cream should bo increased , the natnr
nl thing for the "central" creameries
against which the present notion seems
to bo aimed , to do would be to cu
down expenses or Increase receipts.
In other words , circumstances per
milling , the creameries would elthci
pay less for their butter fat or the >
would charge more for the mnnnfac
lured butter.
The latter they cannot do , because
the price of butter Is fixed upon ni
open market nnd the creameries
whether Independent or "centralized. '
have to sell butter for what they cm
get No single creamery can regn
late Its own prices. Butter Is con
trolled by the market manipulators
Jiiat na the prices of wheat nnd con
nro controlled.
If the big creameries have to pn >
higher freight rates on their cream
If they are unable to add tlmt extra
expense to the price of the butter , niu
if they nre able to deduct It from tlu
amount paid to the farmer for buttc
fat , It Is plainly seen that the farme
himself will pay the added freight nnd
tlmt the big creamery will not bo
harmed nt nil.
The fallacy of that argument , how
ever , lies In the fact that small cream
eries will spring up over the state to
pay the farmer the worth of his butterfat -
torfat nnd Instead of the farmer suffer
ing n loss , the centralized creamery
nlono will pay the extra freight nnd
thus bo put on an equal footing with
the small-town institution which It
now crushes with discriminatory rates.
And If wo nre to tnko the word of
Food Commissioner Wright of Iowa
for Its full vnlue , small town cream
eries nre much better for the public
nt Inrgo. than the big centralized
plants. The small town creamery is
closer to the cow.
FALSE PRESTIGE CLAIMS.
While William D. llaywood has been
acquitted by the Jury of twelve men In
the stnto of Idaho on the charge of
conspiracy to assassinate Governor
Steuneuberg , it is apparent from nn
incident iu Chicago the other day that
his part in the criminal trial that for
weeks hold the country's attention la
not going to make of him the here
tlmt some must have hoped for when
they declared ho should become social
istlc candidate for presidency. The
very fact that Hnywood was taken
into a Chicago club for lunch has ere
atcd a furore among the members nnd
a signed protest to the club directors
has been presented , seeking to make
another such incident Impossible.
Following is the protest nnd it is ol
interest in bringing out a feeling ex
istlng apparently in some quarters n :
to the recently acquitted man :
"We , the undersigned , respectfullj
protest to the board of directors o
this club against the contamination o
the clubhouse precincts by the pres
nco of one W. IX Hnywood , whom
ve bolluvo to luivo boon the Instigator
f many atrocious murders nnd who
nt leu Hi certainly Is nn 'undesirable
Illn-n. ' The fact of the ncitulttal of
laywood docs not vindicate him In
iiibllc opinion nor render him n lit
lorson to be allowed iiisldo our clnl > -
IOIIHO. Wo would link tlmt n vote of
cnaure bo passed ngnlnst the men
vho woiu responsible for bringing him
nto the club. In mnklng this request
vo would dlsolnlm any Intention of
rltlclalng n member for political opln-
Dim or socialistic views. "
There Is one wholesome sign In this
irotesl. In the past there haa been
DO much of n tendency to make ho-
oea nnd heroines of people Inking
mrt In sensational criminal cases nnd
n ninny Instances there has sprung
ip nn unhenlthfiil and altogether dan
gerous maudlin sympathy for the prlii-
Iples on trial for very grave crimes ,
tut that era , fortunately , Is passing
iwny and the public la coming to re
gard a person who has been accused
if atrocious crime na no more entitled
o n halo around hla head than the
military citizen.
In past years women mixed up In
sensational trials hnvo made capital
> f the fact by appearing on the stage
is soon as acquitted. Hut today that
s well nigh mposslhlo , bccnuso the
mbllc hns come to regard such efforts
with the disgust that they deserve.
To have been tried for murder is
tothlng to boast about , nnd it is noth-
ng that should bo attempted ns a
stopping stone Into otherwise unde
served prominence.
A "WEATHER PROPHET. "
lllcka Irn L. ought to hide hla
lend nnd confess that ho la trying to
play a pure game of bluff. Ho ought
to abandon his nttompts to delude the
public into believing that ho is a
'weather prophet , " and to concede
thnt the only people who can forecast
weather are the government meteorol
ogists who reduce the proposition to n
science nnd give results. And even
these scientists , studying with all of
the funds available from a government
for assisting their research , frankly
admit that they can not yet forecast
weather for oven n month in advance ,
What n preposterous Impostor , there
fore , miiBt bo thnt man who , without
anything but the superstitions of n
portion of the public ns a bnsls foi
his operations , claims boldly and bra
zcnly to bo able to predict far into the
future the brand of weather thnt IE
coming.
And worse than the deception of
Hicks , himself , Is the fnct that ho Is
being helped along in the matter by
not nn Inconsiderable number of week
ly newspapers which cither nro indif
ferent ns to what goes Into their col
umns or which , themselves , are Ignor
ant of the facts. The following ab
surdity was printed last week In a
weekly paper of this territory :
Hicks , the St. Louis weather prog-
nostlcator , has thus far this season ,
struck the storm periods with a pre
cision thnt makes one look up , and
tnko notice , and n summary of his Aug
ust predictions will bo rend with in
terest.
"A regular storm period extends
from the 10th to the 14th. It is central
on the 12th nnd will come to n crisis ,
centrally between east nnd west ex
tremes of this country , on Tuesday
and Wednesday , the 13th and 14th. If
you nro far west you will get your
storms a day earlier ; you who nro far
to the east will rend of the storms
before they rcnch you. Hide your time
mil watcti things grow. The new
noon Is on the 9th , lienco hot , thrent-
lnB weather may hold through the
nereury brace. Take seven days , with
ho 9th ns the central day and you have
a period of great seismic probability. "
Saturday was the tenth and Monday
ho twelfth , yet none of the disastrous
storms forecasted by Illcks has been
visible here. In case it had stormed ,
by accident , Hicks would have claimed
credit and the superstitious would
mvo shaken their heads and allowed
that that fellow know his business.
And as the forecast missed , Hicks
will simply claim that for once ho
made a mistake and a lot of people
will forgot all about It the next time
his "forecast" does chance to strike a
storm.
The people of this country , through
their own government , nre mnklng ex-
Imustlvo research Into weather condi
tions in order to discover bases for
long forecasts , but such bases have
not yet been fourtd and today the only
reliable forecasts are those Issued for
twenty-four hour periods by the gov
ernment weather bureaus.
Some of these mysterious "weather
prophets" who parade before the su
perstitions of n lot of people ought to
bo regulated by the interstate com
merce commission.
STATES AND RAILROADS.
Events have borne out the prediction
made by The News some months age
that the various laws passed by manj
states for regulation of intrnstntc
commerce , In view of laws passed bj
congress for regulation of Interstate
commerce , would result in severe
clashes between state and federal au
thorltles for control. Three of thes (
clashes are now on the boards and the ]
all tend to prove that the one inovl
table result of the tangle , ns was point
ed out in Secretary Root's much dls
cussed speech , lies In complete regu
lation of all ralltoads , both Interstate
and Intrnstntu , by one centralized
authority the federal government.
In North Caroline , Alabama and
Arkansas Borlous clashes have result
ed from drastic stnto laws and efforts
of the railroads to seek protection of
their rights under the federal consti
tution.
The Alabama case hns been oven
more extraordinary than In Nortlt
Carolina. In Alabama the legislature
enacted n 2 % cent passenger rate law.
They also pnssed n law mnklng It a
crime for any corporation to appeal
to the federal court nnd a revocation
of the Southern railroad's license In
Alabama Is threatened because that
road did appeal to the federal court ,
praying Hint nn Injunction be filed
ngalnat enforcement of the new 2V&
cent fare law , on the ground thnt it
wna unconstitutional.
In the end every one of those Inws
reducing passenger fares will bo test
ed ns to conslltutlonnllty In the Unit
ed States supreme court , for the
simple reason that the various state
legislatures , In their desire to
plenso the people by dealing black-
eyes to the railroads , whether consti
tutional ones or not , did not ako the
time which ordinary reasoning would
require to look Into the soundness of
their actions and thus determine
whether or not their laws would stand
the flnnl test. As n result of such in
dolence , the people of Nobrnskn nnd
many other stntes , should the now
laws ultimately bo declnrcd conflscn-
tory and therefore unconstitutional ,
may again bo put to the burden of
paying three cents a mile.
It Is only reasonable tlmt appeals
should finally land In the United States
supreme court , , from the fact that pro
tection under the federal constitution
Is Involved. And therefore any law
such ns thnt in Alnbamn which pre
tends to prevent n corporation from
appealing to federal court , Is clearly
childish nnd Illegal.
The stnte of Alabama , If it actually
were to suspend the operations of a
railway In that stnte , might find itself
In deeper wntor than it contemplates
at present. What , for instance , would
bo the effect when this net interfered
with federal mnlls ? What the result
when people bound on interstnte Jour
neys were thus Inconvenienced ?
Alnbnma is overstepping , nnd the
ultimata solution , because it is the
Inevitable , will plnco nil commerce
regulation both Interstate nnd Intra-
stntc In the hands of the federal
government. Not until then will these
state clashes end. Not until then will
11 the people of nil the country get
qunl privileges nnd not until then
k'lll it be possible for the railroads to
get either consistent or tested regu-
atlons.
DANGER OF EXCESS.
Wall street stocks this week took
mother serious' crash one of the
most marked In many moons. It was
laid thnt the fine ngnlnst the Stnndnrd
Oil company of twenty-nine million
ilollnrs , rumor that n slmllnr fine wns
o be assessed ngalnst the American
Sugnr company , threatened prosecut-
ons against the Alton nnd other rail
roads for robntlng , nnd attacks ngnlnst
nrious roads by states , such ns in
iMabama , had a depressing effect up
on the stocks.
A day or two nfter Judge Landis had
mnonnccd his mammoth fine ngalnst
: ho oil company , and had stated that
10 intended to similarly prosecute the
A.lton road for giving the rebate , word
came from Washington that the ad
ministration felt regret over the
udgo's announcement that the Alton
ivould bo prosecuted , Inasmuch as
.ho oil company's blood wns all that
wns desired for the present.
It is dlfllcult to see , however , how
one party to a crime could bo punish
ed and the other consistently loft
mmune , particularly by a govern
ment up to its elbows In righting Just
such wrongs. And no doubt this is
the way Wall street viewed the situ
ation , therefore , the crash.
There may bo danger in too much
hand clapping. The fine assessed by
Judge Landis , the biggest in the
world's history , attracted widespread
applause. The Judge snld ho wished
the law would have allowed more of
a fine. No sympathy for the oil com
pany was heard anywhere , only the
universal hope that it would be ap
proved by the United States supreme
court
The whole country has cause tc
feel n satisfaction in the conviction
nnd punishment of n trust which has
prospered by illegal means. The pun
ishment should bo severe ; it should be
severe enough to cure this evil bj
its warning to others who might be
tempted in the same path. But as
much concern should bo felt by the
public lest a riot of clamorous ap
plnuso at bringing blood should lent
us into excessive punishment , as thai
enough of a penalty should be deal
out Wo should bo ns fearful lest wens
ns represented by the courts , bo noi
omlmently fair , as lest offenders b <
not sufficiently punished.
It yet remains for the United State !
supreme court to determine whether
Judge I nndls' fine was fair or "ex
cessive" In violation of the constitution , '
t Is therefore In rather bad Uisto nnd
rather premature for the public or the
public press to express Its approval
> f the fine nnd Its hope thnt the Judge- [
incut will bo approved. It Is danger-
HIM to the public itself.
AH excesses net as boomerangs in
the end. And If our present pros-
) orlty , coupled with our present mnnia
for drawing corporate blood by drastic
Inws or what may prove excessive
sentences , should lead us into an opl-
leinlc of attacks upon such concerns
Just on general principles , It Is not
llfllcult to see how such excess would
net ns a boomerang ngnlnst our own
prosperity.
For to destroy the confidence of in
vestors In great enterprises such ns
railroads , means but to cripple the
now very much needed extensions
mil expansion by those Industries ,
and thereby to halt for n period of
years the now needed development
of as yet virgin arena of country.
And the crash In Wnll street this
week ought to stnnd out ns n warning
to us all.
The country has a right to rejoice
when any criminal , man or corpora
tion , Is Justly punished ; but wo must ,
for all that , preserve an equilibrium
and n conservative sense of fairness ,
to nil , if our own interests nro to bo
protected. The nntlon is prosperous
today , and wo wnnt no recession.
KEY STRIKE.
The strike of telegraph operators
over the country has spread to such
an extent ns to foreshadow the possi
bility of wire paralysis for some weeks
to como. And the public must suffer
the consequences.
While declaring thnt they realized
they could not win their strike with
out public sentiment behind them , the
striking operators seemed to altogeth
er overlook the fact that by thus bring
ing a strike upon the country and ty
ing up all communication they are for
feiting a largo sliaro of their claims
for public sympathy.
For , without regard to Ihe merits
of the demands made by the men or
the stand taken by the companies , it
remains true that the operators in
leaving their desks have so badly crip
pled wire service the country over as
to bring about a condition truly se
rious.
Matters of life and death have no
more consideration at the hnnds of the
strikers than any insignificant social
messages. A public service rests in
the bauds of the telegraph operators
nnd likewise nn obligation to the pub
lic to perform that service. There is
no knowing how many stories of dis
aster or death may bo lying unsent
on the hooks because of the wires kept
Idle and the keys kept silent through
this strike. There Is no telling how
many a dying person might be reached
by friends and kin If the messages
were but sent , and there is no telling
how many men may lose thousands ,
even hundreds of thousands of dollars
lars needlessly because of this same
congestion.
The strike started in Los Angeles
when a union man was discharged.
The manager claimed that the operat
or was discharged because he was de
liberately delaying work , owing to
trouble with a woman operator in the
Oakland office. The union men there
upon called out a strike and the strike
has spread.
A few weeks ago the same sort of
a strike occurred in San Francisco.
At that time men nnd companies
agreed to hereafter settle differences
by arbitration but the Los Angeles
operators did not keep their ngree-
ment in this behalf. They claim that
they have been given the "worst of it'
ever since San Francisco's strike , and
so they Just struck.
And while they strike , the public
suffers the real -Injury.
Hero is a summary of the demands
made by strikers In Chicago to the
Postal ofllclnls. Because they refused
to comply to these demands in thirty
minutes , the Postal operators also
struck :
Fifteen per cent increase in wages.
Eight hours for day operators and
seven and one-half hours for night op
erators.
Time and one-half for overtime
Abolition of "split trick" and other
obnoxious features.
Right of promotion to bo governed
by merit , fitness and ability.
Additional telegraphers shall bo
compensated at the rate for estab
lished positions of the same class.
Lunch nnd short relief shall bo giv
en in the order of application , and
whenever possible no telegrapher shall
bo compelled to work more than four
and one-half consecutive hours with
out a lunch relief.
Telegraphers temporarily filling po
sitions of higher rating than their own
shall bo paid the salary of the position
lomporarlly filled.
STRIKE FEATURES.
One of the most important phases
of the telegraphers' strike , which has
now spread all over the country and
which is crippling business lo n so-
rlouii extent , to say nothing of other
communication work , no less Import
ant , is to be found in the walk-out of
the Associated Press telegraph operat
ors very soon after filing demands for
Increased wages. As a result of the
strike among Associated Press operat
ors , news service will bo crippled
throughout the United States for a
time as hns not been the case for a
score of years.
The Associated Press operators were
already the highest paid operators in
the world , with the exception of ono
leased wlro syndicate force. During
the past two or three years they had
been granted increases. And their
strlko was declared against the ad
vice of Secretary Russell.
The Associated Press operators sent
demands to Mclvillo E. Stone of New
York and announced that ho would be
given twenty-four hours in which to
reply. Mr. Stone is merely general
manager of the Associated Press ,
which' is a mutual organization. Ho
had no authority to authorize an in
crease of salaries aggregating $200,000
a year. The Associaled Press Is nol
a money-making , profit laklng organi
zation. It is operated for the benefit
of the newspapers included in its mem
bership and the weekly assessments
ngalnst each member go to pay actual
expenses , not for accumulating a re
serve fund or dividend. The associa
tion is operated through the medium
of fifteen directors , who reside all
over the country and the result was
thnt these directors must be conferred
with before a reply could be framed
up for the telegraph operators.
The general manager telegraphed a
statement to the men explaining the
situation and agreeing to take up the
matter with directors by wlro. But
the operators refused to wait. They
closed up their typewriters and walked
out , despite their high salaries.
Dny work Six dnys , eight hours
dally , $30 per week nnd overtime and
extra at the rate of CO cents per hour.
Night work Six days , eight hours ,
5 per week and overtime and extra
at the rate of 70 cents per hour.
The vacations to remain as at pres
ent
A proportionate increase for chiefs
and subchlef operators. The telegra
phers requested a reply by 7:30 : Mon
day evening.
Mr. Stone's reply follows :
New York , Aug. 12 , 1907. To Op
erators : I received this morning a
communication from a large number
of the operators in the service of the
Associated Press asking for a changed
scale of wages and hours and request
ing a reply by half past 7 o'clock this
evening.
The changes Involved ait > so radical
In their nature ns to add over $200,000
a year , and probably more , to the ex >
pense of this organization. The Asso
elated Press is mutual In its character -
ter , makes no profits and has no sur
plus fund out of which such a sura
could be paid. Any such Increase must
of necessity be levied back upon the
newspapers as a part of their weeklj
assessments. As general manager 1
have no power to make such an in' '
crease , either in salaries or assess1
ments , without authority from the
bttard of directors , and It is obvlouslj
impossible to call this board togethei
within the time named. The board
consists of fifteen members scattered
throughout the entire country.
At the same time , acting under au
thorlty heretofore granted me by the
board of directors , I shall be very glad
at any time to meet a committee ol
our own operators and confer will :
them respecting hours of service and
compensation with a view to makinj
some recommendations to the nexi
meeting of the board of directors
which shall meet any fair or Just ex
pectatlou of those in our operating
Service.
Even were I free to act I think yoi
must agree with mo that a question o
this magnitude should not be present
ed to a conclusion within the limits o
a few hours and without any opportu
nlty for consultation between mysel
and representatives of our operating
force. Melville E. Stone ,
General Manager.
This crippling of the news service
of the country will be ono of the mos
sorely felt features of the strlko. As
ono result , the public may como to
know , by reason of its loss , the grea
dependence which is placed from day
to day upon the public press.
But this is not the only really se
rious feature of the strike. Govern
ment officials at Washington are wor
rled lest the loss of weather bureau
service may result in shipwrecks and
loss of life. As a resuJt of the wlro
paralysis reports on meteorologica
conditions have become difficult mat
ters and as this is a stormy time on the
Atlantic loss of lives may result from
the strlko.
Probably the country's prosperity 1
directly responsible for the presen
condition , more Uian anything else
Operators feel that prices are high aiu
their wages should go higher. And
while the general public is complain
Ing about the high prices of varlou
commodities , perhaps some oxplana
ion may bo found In constantly In *
reaslng cost of production. For In
lie end , if the strike is won , the pub
ic will undoubtedly pay the added
alarlcs In increased lolls.
Whatever the Justice of Ilio demands
f Ilio operators , however , or Iho rc-
Istanco of the employers , the public
t largo will ngrco that the crippling
f wires is a serious matter nnd all
vlll hope , for the return of Iho sor-
ice , Hint the keys may soon begin
licking again.
