BE.VSO.Y FOR MAYOR.
The republican city ticket, to be voted
for at the municipal election the first
Tuesday in May, is headed by the nnnie
of Erastus A. Benson for innyor.
Neither those who opposed him for the
nomination nor those who oppose him
now for the election deny his qualifica
tions to fill the office aud to perform
lis duties with credit to the community.
Mr. Benson has been a resident of
Omaha for nearly twenty ' years and
has been continuously engaged In the
real estate business here, inning nil
Hint time he hus enlisted for successive
public enterprises designed to promote
the growth and material prosperity of
the city, contributing llbernlly according
to his means.
Mr. Benson has always taken an
active interest in public affairs and Is
fnlrly well informed on the subjects
which would hnve to be dealt with by
him ns head of the city government.
On most of these questions he has pub
licly declared the position he would
take nnd there is no reason to doubt
that his promises will be fulfilled, so
far as authority vested in him ns mnyor
would extend. His business ability has
been demonstrated In his own private
business and his pledge to apply to the
management of the city's business the
same care and economy will ensure a
businesslike administration with him at
the helm.
In addition to this, Mr. Benson is a
man of education and culture, who, as
chief executive, would do the honors for
the city on public occasions in a man
ner befitting to the character and in
telligence of the people who make up the
community.
All these considerations should appeal
strongly to every one of our citizens
whose fortune Is linked with the future
of Omaha and who wants to see the
city continue to go steadily forward In
the march of progress.
KEW YORK'S BIO BANK SCHEME
The proposal of a great dominating
central bank In New York, clothed with
power of issue and having branches
in other Important cities, while it may
be convenient as a text for discussion
of Imperfections of our monetary sys
tem. Is not practical and will at once
encounter objection on grounds of funda
mental policy. In many of its main
features, note Issues, branch banks,
government deposits, etc., the scheme Is
merely another form of various proposi
tions which have emanated at one time
or another from the same Quarter. On
not one of these propositions are the
representatives of the general banking
interests of the country at all agreed,
but rather at the widest possible vari
ance of opinion. To group so many
vitally Important propositions In the
concrete form of a great controlling
bank would only strengthen and in
tensify the opposition In banking and
financial circles, to Bay nothing of popu
lar repugnance.
The definite suggestion Is Important,
however, as showing that New York
bankers are considering seriously how to
meet Uie periodic money stringency
which has lmmemorlally been felt in
that great center of finance and specula
tion, formerly, Indeed, far more severely
than now. Long ago the country ren
lized that althougb our financial laws
have been faulty from either a scientific
or a practical standpoint, the tap root
of the trouble Is In speculation aud not
In the operations of legitimate business
and banking. Up to within very receut
times the national treasury was forever
yielding to the clamor for deposits of
its surplus funds, when excessive
speculation overreached itself and got
into difficulties in New York. That
rosourco nas now been properly cur
tailed, treasury funds now being equita
bly distributed over the country when
deposited at all, and there will never be
a return to the old policy.
The broad fact is that the cure of
such New York money dearths and
credit contractions must le by preven
tion, and the remedy must be by the
New York bunkers themselves. It is
simply sound banking, holding credits
remorselessly to the Hue of legitimate se
curity, ine trouble is mat the New
York banks, directly or iudortiy, have
been parties to vieiouf speculation
They bava taken the profits, but have
wanted to be saved from the conse
quences, by government Interposition or
otherwise. This trouble, though dimin
ishing slowly, still exists. The time
has not yet come when the country will
penult banking Institutions so complt
cated as those of New York still are
with speculative and promotive Inter
ests In one way and another to be
clothed with the powers which this
New York scheme includes.
It will be necessary for New York
bnnklng not only to separate Itself much
further from that vast phase of perilous
speculative operations which Is popu
Inrly comprehended under the term
"Wall Street," but also to demonstrate
the separation to the country, beyond a
IK-radventure, before that coufldence can
be established, which Is absolutely
necessary before any of the plans pro
posed in New York, however they may
have worked tinder different conditions
in other countries, will be tolerated
here.
A H-KSTEIIS IXrASMX OF THE EAXT.
The latest manifestation of the west
ern Invasion of the east is to be found
in the appearance of a seed corn special
on the Boston & Maine railroad, which
Is to be sent. on n missionary tour of
education for the farmers In Massachu
setts, Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine.
The seed corn special is distinctly a
western Institution with Its origin trace
able more particularly to the railroads
operating in Nebraska and Iowa. The
bnslc idea is thut of a traveling school
of elemental agricultural science, brlng
iug to the farmer instruction along lines
calculated to mnke his work more ef
fective nnd his fields more productive
without compelling him to leave his
farm to attend a distant agricultural
school.
Thnt the western farmer should take
kindly to this benevolent interest even
though coupled with the obvious fact
thot it is designed to Increase likewise
the traffic of the railroads Is taken ns
n matter of course, but that the farmers
of stnld old New England, supposed to
know it all by inheritance from their an
cestors, should be regnrderl as good
subjects for seed corn specialization is
n smnll sized surprise. Presumably,
however, something has to be done to
make them more content with their pos
sessions and check the exodus to the
fertile fields of the west, which nt one
time made deserted farms in the far
oust to be had almost for the asking.
With one road waking up to the fact
thnt the seed corn speclnl has a call
in the enst ns well ns in the west, the
next thing will be a general mania for
Imitation and within another year the
seed corn special may be looked for on
every American railroad that traverses
an agricultural country.
JVDGK SPKKR'S ADiTOXlTIOy.
No one has recently pointed out the
Imperative necessity of reform In Crim
inal procedure more forcibly than Judge
Speer of the United States circuit court.
In passing sentence upon the convicted
government contractors, Greene and
Gaynor, nnd now that a bill has Just
been fnvorably reported to congress for
codifying and amending the criminal
laws the time is ripe for public pres
sure to bring the reform about The
evil to be corrected is gross and long
standing and universally recognized.
pervading the Judicial practice under
state as well as federal laws. Judge
Ppeer touches the root of It when he
declares that "it is the certainty and
not the severity of punishment which
deters criminals." And bis admonition
applies with special force to that vast
class of offenders whose misdoings are
comprehended In the word "graft" more
particularly in the management of cor
porations In their relations to the body
of their stockholders and the public
and to the government national, state
and municipal) upon which public atten
tion Is now so concentrated.
The delay of the criminal law Is
notorious, but the relations between the
accused Individual and the state has
in this country long since come to be
wholly reversed from what It was when
"the law's delay" was a Just grievance
of the former. Now it Is a menace to
the state itself, a flagrant denial of
the rights of the public. The historic
complaint that the courts would not
grant "a speedy trial" to the accused.
which for more than a century has
colored all our constitutional guarantees
and statutes, has brought about the
preposterous and vicious result that the
courts are no longer able to bring any
criminal to a speedy trial, provided he
has money and Influence to take nd
vantage of the opportunities of th
law for defeating Justice by delay.
Trial now does not mean the summary
and conclusive hearing of the matter
on its merits, in the cm common law
sense of the term, for thnt is only
small friMtlon of its significance, which
Includes all the Intricate preliminary
Jurisdictional and technical complica
tions, for the most part remotely or not
at all Involving the truth of the matter,
and after the Jury there remain the in
terminable appeals.
The tyranny that denied to the ac
cused criminal a speedy trial, odious
as it was, was never more odious than
the existing legal statute which denies
the right of society to force Its rogues
and grafters to a speedy trial. The
exigencies of the timo call loudly for a
new bill of rights by which the public
Itself, the mass of honest, law-abiding
people, shall bo guaranteed the means
of vindicating their ma.lesty and se
curity against criminal offenses.
The certainty of punishment of which
Judge Hpeer speaks is nothing else than
punishment after guilt has been sub
stantially proved. Yet althougb after
five years of delay In bringing the two
rich grafters before the Jury despite
the utmost efforts of the state, and after
they have been beyond dispute found
guilty, on the main point there la no
certainty that the richly merited penalty
of Judge Rpeer'a aestence to restore the
million dollars they stole from the pub
lic treasury ami to serve four years Im
prisonment will ever !e actually In
flicted. For while the Judge was passing
sentence and righteously denouncing the
delay of Justb-e, the defendants' law
yers were preparing further to Illustrate
the evil of It by appeals from court to
court.
The criminal law of the land itself
has loen found guilty of denying Justice
to the people, of denying" the right of the
people siHellly to try ami punish their
criminals and thus of defeating the sole
sane purpose of law against crime. It
Is not worth while to inquire how or bj
whose fault the hand of Justice has
leen paralyzed. The fact Is- Indisputa
ble and demands reform.
RAILROADS A.XD tOAt, MtXKS.
The investigation by the Interstate
Commerce commission Into the coal ami
oil business is not disclosing any new
practice of rullronds nnd rallrond offi
cials, but the evidence Is already bring
ing out numerous flagrant Instances of
the vlcioua results of mingling trans
portation and Industrial proprietary in
terest Equal rights of shippers to
transportation are Impossible when the
Imperial power of control over transpor
tation is in the hands of men who for
themselves or for a great railroad sys
tem are also competitors, as coal mine
owners with the ordinary shippers. The
power is too great to be entrusted to
human nature, yet the investigation
demonstrates that It Is still actnally be
ing wielded by those in control of rail
road nnd coal mining companies.
Such a power infallibly implies unlaw
ful discrimination and the worst effects
of rebates, not to speak of the Incal
culable opportunities for official railroad
graft. These are precisely the evils
which so many laws on the federal
and state statute books were designed to
pnnlsh and abolish. It has been
abundantly demonstrated that the grant
ing of relwtes has not ceased, and it Is
being demonstrated now before the In
terstate commission's Investigation or
dered by congress Is fairly under way
that the corruptions and discriminations
that always hnve been associated with
rebates are perpetrated. If not indeed
increased by railroad parrJdpancjr In

quires them to serve only as carriers.
Railroad investigation is needful and
helpful, but positive legislation for con
trolling railroads in the light of It is
what the country now Is waiting for.
RELlEr FOR VESUVIUS VICTIMS.
Mayor Zimman tins appointed a local
committee to co-operate with similar
committees in other cities in raising a
relief fund for the victims of the Vesu
vius volcnnlc eruption.
The extent of the disnster wrought by
the belching mountain In the destruc
tion of property, rendering homeless
thousands of unfortunate Italians, is
scarcely realized by onr people. The
worst part of It will In all probability
be found In the ruin of growing crops
by the coating of fallen ashes making
it impossible for the peasants and agri
culturalists within the stricken territory
to raise the products of the earth on
which they would have to depend for a
livelihood.
The need for relief measures will
surely bo very great, much greater than
can be adequately provided for by the
Italian government and the people of
Italy In themselves. It Is only reasonable
that America in its plcn tit tide of pros
perity, to which citizens of Italian nativ
ity have contributed materially, should
extend a helping hand. And 'Omaha
ought to do its share toward the ac
cumulation of the relief fund raised In
this country.
Members of the lower buuse of con

These spoeches will in duo time come
off. the presses in neatly printed
pamphlet form for distribution through
the mails under congressional, frank to
over-awe the constituent who receives a
copy by a realization of what a big
man bis congressman is. The dessemt-
nation or extracts from the congres
sional record, however, has been worked
so hard that the people are beginning
to see through It until It loees much
of Its effect Yet to have a speech ac
cepted for broadcast distribution by the
campaign committee seems to b the
height of ambition In certain congres
sional quarters.
What was once the recognized official
organ of the populist party in Nebraska
is now devoting itself to urging the last
populist nominee for governor as the
strongest caudidate to head the demo
cratic ticket this fall. It looks as If
the old three-ring circus of "the allied
forces of reform," which More lately
pulled off the show In two rings, had
finally come down to a oue-rlng per
formunce.
The backers of "Jim" Dablman contin

A notable feature of the Nebraska poll!
tical situation In the prominence which I
given to the name of Edward Rosewater
In connection with the United States sen
ator-ship. Mr. Itosewater has not placed
himeelf In the list of avowed aspirants
nor given the loast sign of Intention to
do so, having gone to Europe a month or
wo ago, whence he will not return for
ome time. Hut since long before Ms de
parture a disposition has been Increasingly
manifest among republican newspapers and
especially the republican masses, Including
many who In times past have not been
politically sympathetic and some of whom
have been positively hostile to Mr. Rose
water, to regard him aa at this Juncture
he logical representative of Nebraska re
publicanism In the United States senate.
Nor Is this tendency towards the veteran
Nebraska editor an unnatural development.
The attitude of the republican party under
President Roosevelt's leadership towards
vital questions la substantially the attitude
which Mr. Rosewater has persistently and
conspicuously maintained for well nlglt
forty years, or from the day he became
Identified as a public character with the
history of Nebraska and the west. All
this time he has been among the foremost
of those who have stood out, In spite of
odds and all constraints, (or the supremacy
of law over all private corporation Inter
ests and against graft everywhere. He
never hesitated to attack abuses Involving
public morals or public authority to at
tack them specifically and In the concrete.
ven when that course was not popular
nor tempting to the pretender and the
time-saver, aa It now Is, but rather a bar
to political preferment and personal ad
vantage. Aslda from Mr. Rosewater's conceded
abilities, his wide personal acquaintance
with public men of national standing and
familiarity with public questions and
affairs, for all of which no man In tha
west Is better kno'wn an advantage of In
calculable value to his state In all its con
cerns In the senate and at Washington
generally It Is natural that many should
feel a sense of the ideal justice of accord
ing him to a place In the senate, now that
the polities he has so long championed
amidst Innumerable rebuffs and discourage
ments are actuallyy in hand to be decls-
vely dealt with by the American people.
And there are many in his state represent
ing interests sometimes at variance with
him In politics who are conilrtg ta see how
valuable Indeed how essential the serv
ice of such a man In certain more and
more to be to the pnbltc. For Mr. Rose-
water is not a demagogue and no one, not
even those who have most strenuously
contended with him, have ever accused
him of being on. He stood out as uncoin-
promlainxly against the popular assault
upon monetary soundness, an assault ex
ceeding violent in Nebraska, as he stood
out for control of corporations and offi
cial fidelity to public Interest. It may well
be, as thoughtful men are beginning to re
flect, that such a character, as steadfast
to substantial Interests, as zealous for pub
lic rights, may be sorely needed In high
place sooner than many may now think.
It la not known whether Mr. Rosewater
will permit the use of his name, but It
would appear that the very general ten
dency of Nebraska republican sentiment,
unless positively checked by him, can
hardly fall to manifest Itself in the state
convention which this year will nominate
a candidate for senator.

church is horribly torn up by the report
that the book concern printed pamphlets
containing whisky axis, but it appears they
were smuggled In while the senior deacon
slept at the forms.
Chicago Chronicle: That is a noteworthy
heresy trial which the Episcopal church Is

Rochester. N. Y. Apparently ho dissents

church has taught, from belief in His
divinity and In His miraculous resurrec
tion. He asserts the Immutability of
natural law and maintains that this does
not make him lea a Christian than his
church associates. The Anglican church
has revealed great wk?dom In handling
heresy. Conflicts of the kind have been
rare In It and this one promises to be the
most noteworthy since Colenso. Other
Christian bodies will watch it with ab
sorbing Interest. Yet Mr. Crapsey will die
one of these days and the church will
long outlive him.

EASTER. '

The lilies regnant in the Kaster sun.
The curling hyacinths, the golden glow
Of daffodils, the spicy buds that blow
And trail their pink and brown when win-.
ter's done. '
Slept but a month ago; the swift saps run
With force mysterious; where lately anow
Held naked branches, now the maples
throw
A thousand shades for life and death are
one; ,
Life and the tide may ebb life cannot die.
Or seas be still; death is the rind without;
He seemed as cold aa are tho marble
plinths
Of our great temples, yet to tha fair sky
He rose resplendent. Can wa live and
doubt
Among the lilies and tha hyacinths?
