It may aot be generally known that our own townsman, Senator Hugh Hughes, is the father of the law that sake it a misdemeanor to desecrate Memorial day by playing base ball aad other amusemeats for gate re ceipts, and it is a good law. Alton B. Parker thinks that the next democratic nominee for the pre aideacy of the United States should oobm from Mason & Dixon's line, but Willirm Jj Bryan does not agree with him.

Memorial day ia Nebraska has been an orderly, patriotic day since the pas sage by the legislature of a law forbid ding outdoor gaaMS aad public sports during the hours set apart as sacred to the memory of those who fell ia the Civil war. A few yean ago this hoi iday in Nebraska was like the Fourth of July save for the absence of explo sive noises, and such a condition still holds good in many states which have not recognised the solemnity that rightfully attaches to aa occasion of this kind. Tho enactment of a statute which gave real significaaoe to Memorial day was one of the best things the legisla ture of this state have ever doae. The holiday spirit was not destroyed, and the maa who labors hard may still go with his family to the picaic place aad enjoy himself in any manner that pleases him. The law now in force simply prohibits horse raciag, eoisy contests of various kinds aad forms of amusement which taad to draw the minds of the public away from the true spirit of Memorial day. The law has been tested twice, aad the test has proved satisfactory. The childrea realize that the day is more thaa a time for play and the grown-ups, who were becoming quite thoughtless, ap preciate more and more the real beau ties of the time set apart for uplifting sentiments. We are having, ia Ne braska, decent Memorial days. la Unforgiving Premier. Omaha Bm. Thomas Brent, prime minister of Victoria, ought to take a lesson frees America's observance of Meatorial day. In an address in England Min ister Brent bitterly protested against the action of the British people in hon oring General Botha during his atten dance upon the conference of colonial premiers ia London as prime minister of the Transvaal. "Our people have not forgotten the Boer war," said Minister Brent "We have a number of wooden-legged and armless mea and sorrowing widows to keep our memo ries alive." Victoria's minister apparently for gets that there are woodea-legged and armless mea and sorrowing widows inl the Transvaal. These are the enteral heritages of war. In America a few days ago union veterans joined in the cercuKMUce of dedicatiag a monument tp General Gordon, one of the ragged confederate leaders whose activity ia the field resulted ia an ucrease ia the number of wooden-legged and armless mea and sorrowiag widows in the north. Today veterans of the war, both those who fought with Grant and Thomas aad Sherman and those who followed Lee and Jackson and John stone are placing their floral aad heart tributes on the graves of anion and confederate dead alike.

A Baal BaUway 1W PMlri After all is said aad dene the whole future of the trs asportation ia this country depends apon iaoreassd tirackage,betterteiniadfadlkies,aad more equipment, Any attempted so lution of the railway problem 'that does aot work toward this end means a postponement of that day when tke railways caa handle aay and all ban nem offered to them, to the satisfac tion of the most exacting shipper. Suppose a large area of rick and productive farm lands is connected witk bat a siagle track corduroy road aad accessary "by passes,'' with the asarest asarket Let us suppose tkat all tke produce in this area mast be delivered to . market over this siagle highway. Other roads are possible, but their service is not now available. At the closet of the harvestiag sea son prices are fair, the farmers desire to market their grain, and all avail able wagons are loaded and start' for market aloag this siagle track cordu roy highway. Isn't it clear that it is only a short tisse when wagon drivers will make such a demand for space on this road that movement will be diffi cult, and rapid driviag practically im possible? This is the situation that the railrways face today. Let us carry the comparison furth er. Suppose these farmers see that the real solution of the problem lies in having a two-track highway so that the "by-passes" may not be needed ex cept in an emergency, and two lines of loaded wagons amy continually aaove in opposite directions all of the tisse, without the delays consequent upon the meeting or passiag of other loads the "bypasses," Isn't it clear that by double,trackiag this old corduroy road, eliminatiag the vital importance of the "by-pam," the capacity for haal iag produce. Is doubled and trebled? Better time is made, more trips are possible, the farmer gets his produce to market when he waats it there, and in short the whole perplexing pro blem solves itsel Substitute any leadiag western trunk line for tke old corduroy road, let the sidiag take the places of the by-passes, and in a nwasure the ter minals, aad we have precisely the same situation. in railway aftairs as shippers find today. As the Prairie Farmer has clearly shown the great trouble at present is that iadustrial development has vastly surpassed the growth of the railroads. Weaave already shown that the aum beroftoaeof freight handled to the mile on railways increased from 85 billions for the year ended June 90, 1895, to 186 billions for the year en ded June 30, 1905. An overwhelming measure of pros perity has deluged the railways with sack an amount of traffic that they are unable to move it let alone carry- iag it on schedule tisse. Ia spite of all the legislation enacted, fixing rates and regulatiag speed there is nothing that really touches the heart of the situation. lis fact it is more than likely that the rivalry to legislate a cure for the "car shortage" has done more to lower the value of securities, increase the rates of iatereat on rail way loans, impede the intstediate la crosse of trackage and equipment, than the people of this country have any means of at present realiziag.
