President Roosevelt" characterls

committee of the Pennsylvania Orange the enormous aggregate loss directly j party circle on the old style paper bal

OoMver-Hepburn bill, with the Alll-' Are could have been prevented by be accompanied by Iho abolition of the
'son amendment, contains practically ,
what I have both originally and since j
j asked for, and If enacted Into law it I
will represent the longest step ever
taken yet In the direction of solving
the railway rate question," will be
universally accepted as truly describ
ing the practical effect of the measure
and certainly as stating his profound
conviction regarding it.
This explicit public announcement
by the president, In exr.ct harmony
with his prompt, authoritative state
ment when agreement among the sen
ators was fl'si effected on the basis
of the Allison amendment, certifies
his satisfaction with the legislative
result and piles hljher the proof, if
any further proof were needed, of his
anxiety that that result should be as
perfect as possible. For he emphtsi'.es
the point that "the Allison amend
ment Is only declaratory of what the
bill must mean, supposing It to be con
stitutional." and Indicates two other
points, though not vital ones, In which
he would be glad to see the measure
further Improved by the adoption of
the Long and Overman amendments.
Every true friend of rate and corpora
tion control earnestly shares the pres
ident's desire that pending legislation
for that purpose be brought to the ut
most perfection and enforcibillty. This
is a prnctlcal matter Involving wise
adjustment to legal and constitutional
conditions, and In his attitude toward
the Allison and other amendments the
president Is looking to actual results
of relief from the transoortatlon
abuses against which the great na
tional reform movement so notably in
spired and directed by him Is aimed.
It Is, therefore, not singular that
Instant and violent outcry Impugning
the president's good faith should be
set up by reckless partisan newspaper
opposition, now thr.t the legislative
phase of the reform movement is on
the point of being brought to success
ful close. It Is all that Is left to de
signing partisanship which from the
first has hoped for failure of rate con
trol under Roosevelt republican aus
pices, though public Interest thereby
would suffer disaster. In order that
democratic office - getting interests
might be promoted.
It was certain that no sooner would
the enactment of this great measure
of public policy in perfected form be
assured than both the legislation and
President Roosevelt himself would be
assailed with virulence, misrepresenta
tion and malign imputation of motive,
as has always been the tactics of
democratic organs when republican
leadership has gone forward In emer
gency and verily done the thing the
people demanded. But the mass of
the people, without regard to party
lines, have confidence In Theodore
Roosevelt. They know that It has
required both high courage and loy
alty In him. that onlv the leadership
of such a man, backed by popular sym
pathy and support, could have'brought
public control reform so far through
successful, and that with the enact
ment of such legislation the same lead
ership and support will be Impera
tively neeessery In order to Its en
forcement to the full measure of ef
ficiency. CAVSK or ..4. FRAXCtSCO loss
Hon. John P. Irish of Oakland. Cal.,
who Is widely known In the country
as a man of fine Intelligence and sound
judgment, in a communication to the
press strongly corroborates the grow
ing Impression that the fire damage
at San Francisco was mainly due to
preventable causes. His personal ob
servation Is to the same effect as that
of other competent, men on the ground
who investigated the matter promptly
and carefully, that comparatively small
loss either of property or of life was
caused solely by the earthquake, the
damage from which could have been
repaired In a few weeks. ' It was al
most exclusively infiloted on old build
ings oftfaulty foundation or construc
tion. ,
This is the third general conflagra
tion which has destroyed San Fran
cisco. the two previous ones having
no connection with earthquake. The
fatal error, as Mr. Irish shows, has
been In adhering to the old plan, or
lark of plan, on which the city orlg
inally grew up. There were In the
center of danger no wide avenues and
plazas to act as fire guards, water
piotectlon was notoriously inadequate
and the precautions as to buildings
usual In progressive cities were want
ing. Such conditions laid the city
open to destruction by fire, and It is
now recognised that disaster was only
a question of time. Any earthquake
sufficient to shake down old or 111
constructed tiulldlngs was sure to pre
cipitate it.
In line with what Mr. Irish says the
San Francisco newspapers and Insur
ance journals are accumulating a
great amount of Information demon
strattng how slight was the direct

structures, of which the Spreckles

Pennsylvania Railway company refers I
to the national administration In mak-
Ing his denial that that road has

solemnly and explicitly declares, as
of his personal knowledge, that the
Pennsylvania road hds not for ye i s
granted either to the Oil or the
Sugar trust any concession, open or
secret, from the lawful tariffs available
to all shippers on equal terms. It has
nothing to fear, but on the contrary
everything to hope, from a thorough
public ascertainment of the facts. In
that event tl'e only result of any prose
cution would be the vindication of
the road, which Is one of the greatest
transportation companies of the coun
try. Broadly speaking, if It were true
that the railroads generally have been
and are observing the Elklns and anti
trust laws and not giving secret re
bates or equivalent Illegal discrimina
tions to favored shippers, they ought
by all means to welcome opportunity
to demonstrate the truth as a matter
of official record. Certainly the con
trary, if 'It exists, should be known,
prosecuted and stopped.
Nothing better could happen In the
interest of those who are engaged In
the management of transportation
than to have the full light of pub
licity shine through the whole subject.
If they will put themselves at the
standpoint of the general public they
can hardly wonder at the popular be
lief and suspicion as to the prevalence
of evasions and violations of the laws
against discriminations and trade con
spiracies. Unless the facts are offi
cially ascertained and certified, such
suspicion will linger long and harm
fully, even after a lawful status In
fact exists throughout the transporta
tion world.
One of the best and most whole
some things that can come out of all
this contest will be the removal of
suspicion, much of it even now, per
haps, unwarranted, and affording,
through knowledge of the facts, a basis
of security for all Interests.

That reminds us of a story. Not
many years ago when the Third Ne

licanism. Edward Rosewater was
called east shortly before the nomina
ting convention, but left directions that
The Pee, despite Mr. Hammond's per
sona) hostility previously manifested,
should do nothing to obstruct Mr.
Hammond's success. Shortly after the
nomination Mr. Hammond walked into
The Bee office, saying:
"I happened to be In town and
thought I would come in to tell you
that I appreciate the kind treatment I
have received at the hands of The
Bee."
"We were not aware The Bee had
said anything about your candidacy as
yet," was the reply.
"That's Just it," said Mr. Hammond,
"It's what you have refrained from
saying."
"Well, Mr. Hammond, you and your
paper have constantly asserted that the
best thing for a candidate, If he wants
to be elected. Is to have The Bee's open
opposition. We want to help you for
congress as much as we can and are
willing to do It either way, just as you
prefer."
"Oh," exclaimed Mr. Hammond, "It
makes a difference when you are run
ning yourself."
It might be added that The Bee sup
ported Mr. Hammond In that campaign
and Its editor, Edward Rosewater,
made one or two speeches for him In
his district.

JAMR F.. BOYD.
Howells Journal: He was a man of
grest force of character and high stand
ing In the business world. Well may all
Nebraska stand uncovered o'er his bier.
Tspllllon Times: The death of ex-Oov-ernor
James E. Boyd of Omaha removes
from Nebraska one of the foremost charac
ters In Its history, especially its earlier or
frontier history.
Burt County Herald: Mr. Bod was one
of the most pleasant and most progressive
men that ever settled In Nebraska and
commanded the Confidence and esteem of
his large acquaintance.
Beatrice Sun: James E. Boyd demon
strated what a man may do who is filled
with energy and enterprise. From the
position of a poor carpenter he worked his
w-Ky to the foremost political and business
position in the state.
Norfolk Press: Governor Boyd was a
man of strong convictions, snd while many
disagreed with his opinions, all respected
him for his honesty of purpose In all his
acta, whether In public or In privste life.
Nebraska owes much to him and will honor
his memory through the years that are to
come.
Kearney Democrat: Governor Boyd was
one of the first settlers In Buffalo county,
taking a farm near Shelton In 1858, and
opened a general merchandise store at
Gibbon. Afterward he conducted another
store at Kearney. He was the first repre
sentative to the legislature from Buffalo
county, being elected In 1H6.
Falls City Journal? Mr. Boyd was one
of the most prominent pioneers of the
state snd had the distinction of being the
only democrat who ever held the office of
governor In this state. He was one of the
active hustling men who came from Ire
land and helped to make this state. He
left many friends over the state who ad
mired his good qualities.
Fremont Herald: No other man figured
more conspicuously In the affairs of Ne
braska during the last fifty years than
James E. Boyd. If the life record of
James E. Boyd shall be written true It
will leave to posterity the record of a
man remarkable among his fellows for
personal and political Integrity, notwith
standing the fact that in later life tho
man was wholly rejected by his political
associates and admirers of earlier years.
Fremont Tribune: The death of ex-Gov
ernor Boyd, following so closely the pass
ing of ex-Governor Thayer, has brought
out the pleasing fact that these two dis
tinguished Nebraskans who so stoutly con
tended with each other for the governor
ship In 1891, when Mr. Thayer undertook
to hold his place by use of the militia, on
the claim that Boyd was not a naturalised
citizen, had harmonised their difficulties
and became fast friends before their death.
It is a good example of what should be
going on every day In the world.
West Point Democrat: Governor Boyd
was a man of powerful personality, one
that will live as long as the memory of
the, great man lives In the hearts of those
who were so fortunate as to be his
friends and acquaintances. His friendships
and hla hatreds were equally strong. He
had some highly esteemed friends In West
Point, among these Judge Crawford, who
was the first man to point out the way by
which he was declared a citizen of the
United States by the highest authority of
our country, namely, the supreme court of
the United States. Judge Crawford said
that since Mr. Boyd was a soldier In the
civil war he must have taken the oath of
allegiance to this country, and therefore
became a citizen 4n effect. Governor Boyd
was the only man ever declared i citizen
by the supreme court of the United Statea.
It was this question that kept him for
several months from being seated as gov
ernor of Nebraska In 1891.
