TH CHICAGO ORAM TRAt)K.
The Chicago board of trade will not
have so much trouble to show loss of
grain trade as to Induce the transporta
tion companies to restore It Origin
ally, when railroads were being ex
tended westwardly and northwest
wardly from Chicago, the grain trade
waa practically monopolized there, and
Chicago dominated Its movement with
a high hand. But that day has gone
by never to return.
The natural advantages And economy
ht new routes opened to the north
through the head of the great lakes
and to the south to gulf porta have di
rectly caused enormous decadence of
Chicago's grain trade,, most of the
grain in counties In Illinois within a
hundred miles now moving to market
over the latter route. Tho Indirect ef
fect has been hardly less serious, for
the competition of the new routes has
compelled the old east and west roads
connecting with Atlantic ports to make
continuous hauls from western eleva
tors through cut-offs from Chicago.
The real trouble with tbe Chicago
grain trade arises from manifest des
tiny. Following the line of least
economic resistancegrain is now be
ing more and more collected in primary
markets advantageously situated with
reference on one hand to the fields
where It Is grown and on the other
hand to seaports or milling centers,
where It is put In shape for final mar
ket. The conditions Inherently require
this result and grain trade and trans
portation the last few years have
simply been rapidly, conforming to
them.
Accordingly, we have the notable
development of Omaha as a grain
center of an immense region where
all the great grain carrying routes
north, east and south meet and over
lap. The elemental forces of the busi
ness world are back of the remarkable
adjustments going forward to make a
great assembling and dispatching point
here. ,
By no possibility can this tendency
to divert grain from Chicago be anni
hilated or overcome. The utmost ques
tion that could even be. raised would
be practically no more than an Issue
between Chicago and nearby cut-offs
with reference to grain moving east
ward to tidewater, and the volume of
t.hat, relatively to the total grain trade,
Is bound steadily to decline.
CRIME OF A MOB
The report of the special grand jury
at Springfield, Mo.. Is a fearful com
mentary on the work of the mob which
a few weeks ago took three negro pris
oners from Jail and hanged and burned
them, for the finding, after thorough
and dispassionate investigation, is not
only that no assault waa committed on
the white woman, but also that It was
absolutely Impossible tot two of the
three negro victims to have been In the
neighborhood, even If an assault had
been committed aa alleged. ..
The horrible blunder Is only a natural
consequence of mob violence. False
hood starts rumor, and mere rumor
sets race prejudice and dangerous pas
sions in a blaze, and thene forthwith
consume every lawful safeguard which
the wisdom and Interest of civilised
man have set up for getting at the
truth of such matters. Even the court
of Judge Lynch provides some forms
for testing guilt or Innocence. The
SDrinefield case was simply an outburst
of savagery as criminal as it was furi
ous. '
The murder by torture of Innocent
men wrenched by a bloodthirsty mob
from the law's custody where they
should have been safe Is, of course, be
yond reparation, but it remains for the
majesty of the law to be vindicated by
relentless prosecution of the large num
ber against whom Indictments nave
been found for activity and leadership
In the frightful crime. In no other
way can there be aecurlt,". in any com
munlty than by maintaining sentiment
for the Inviolability of law.
THE FBffS ALCOHOL PROSPECT.
The favorable report of the free de
naturtzed alcohol bill from the senate
finance committee, although some
amendments have been added to the
bill, should assure Its enactment in
satisfactory form.. . ,.5
The action of the senate .committee,
although delayed by an . unnecessary
hearing concerning matters 'previously
thoroughly Investigated by the houso,
la far better than the friends of the
measure had anticipated. For Senator
Aldrlch, chairman of the committee,
who la believed to be in close aympathy
with hostile corporation interests, was
known to be in position to hold it up
indefinitely, and his early maneuvers
Indicated a resolution to do so. Pres
sure for a measure of such obvious
benefit for the mass of the people has
Obviously been too. Imperious to be
further resisted, and the bill would not
be reported at this time from the com
mittee, whqre it could be far more
easily defeated, if there waa still pur
pose to resist IU enactment on the
floor of the senate.
It is within -a comparatively short
time that the immense advantage of
untaxed alcohol for light, heat and mo
tive power hat come to.be popularly
appreciated In this country, although
It has long been utilised in the indus
trial countries of Europe. Especially
will the measure promote the interests
of the middle west producers of grain
and other vegetable growths from
which alcohol can be abundantly pro
duced; these producers of the raw ma
terials being ag well consumers of the
finished product and also, in common
with the whole community, interested
in its cheapening effect in all the
mechanic arts.
It is noteworthy that distillers are
reported to be already making prepara
tions in anticipation of the action of
congress to tufcAufactare denaturUed
alcohol In large quantities, and that
capital will be available In western
cities for new establishments to pro
duce that kind of alcohol exclusively,
provided revenue regulations shall be
such as to permit It. Such practical
arrangements clearly show the"ub
Rtantlal character of free alcohol legislation.
A JOB FOR THE XEXT LEGISLATURE.
The requests filed with the gov
ernor asking Investigation into charges
of maladministration in two Nebraska
Insane asylums will justify the next
legislature in instituting a thorough
inquiry into the management of all
our state Institutions. Whether these
particular charges are well founded or
not, there Is no question but that Im
proved methods can be inaugurated In
the various institutions In which the
state cares for Its delinquents and de
pendents, and that the lessons learned
In one and the other can be made, use
ful for all.
Nebraska has up to this time con
ducted these state Institutions alto
gether too much on the haphazard
plan without any co-ordination' be
tween them. As a result the largest
drafts upon the state's revenues come
fiom these institutions and their requi
sitions are honored as a matter of
course, with only cursory examination
as to theirjiecesslty and as to the man
ner In which the money is spent. If
the legislature should decide to look
Into the management of all the state
Institutions the purpose should be not
only to corroct abuses and Insure
proper treatment of Inmates, but to
systematize the finances and stop the
leaks at every point.
In all probability the prerequisite
to reform will be found to be a re
vision of tho laws relating to commit
ment to these institutions and to their
organization and management. A
comprehensive statute governing all
the state Institutions, not only out
lining their management, but also cen
tering responsibility to a greater de
gree, would go a great way toward
stopping periodic complaints from the
inside and putting the business on a
business basis from the outside.
Members of the Real Estate ex
change suggest that the removal of old
buildings from one part of the city to
another should be restricted so as to
give the new neighbors some sort of
veto power. There Is no question but
that the character of every building
erected affects the neighborhood, but
this applies as well to new buildings
as to old. To give the owners of ad
jacent property power to say whether
a building can be located near them
or not would provide a club which
might not always be used legitimately.
This power, if lodged anywhere, should
be placed with a public authority, who
could be held responsible for its exer
cise in a reasonable manner.
Judge Troup's firm stand against
collusive divorces sought on frivolous
pretenses unquestionably reflects the
growing sentiment of this community.
The divorce evil,, in the proportions It
has reached here, requires close re
strictions on the part of the courts to
see that the spirit as well as the letter
of the law is enforced.
The contract for printing the su
preme court reports comes to an
Omaha printing establishment for the
first time in many years. Although it
Is on a .purely competitive bid, this
will doubtless furnish another griev
ance for a Lincoln newspaper organ,
which lets no occasion pass for an
tagonizing this city.
It having been established to the

report
Two nominations made by Mayor

Now that the house of representa
tives has begun to play politics while

Beatrice Sun (dem.).
Say what you plesse, throw dorntrks or
bouquets, the fact remains that Edward
Rosewater comes nearer measuring up to
the required mental stature of a t'nlted
States senator than any man yet men
tioned as a republican candidate. Ills
record, too. Is one of life-long antagonism
to corporate greed and monopoly. He has
waged fearless and unrelenting warfare
against corruption In men and measures,
and as a consequence hsa many bitter foes.
It will be found, however, we predict, that
he has a mighty big following among the
people when the real test comes.

Springfield Monitor (dem.).
With the prospects decidedly In favor of
our next United Statea senator being
chosen from the republican ranks, that
party or that part of It that has been
clamoring for a man who will look after
the masses of the people Instead of fha
corporations certainly has an Ideal can
didate In the person of Editor Roaewater,
whom Tha Bee has announced as a can
didate for that high office. The Monitor
believes that if the people of Nebraska
could have their say there would be no
question but that Rosewater would be
our next sepator. But then the politicians
and corporations and other Influences
have a big say-so when It comes to
electing a senator and they prefer a man
more pliable than the editor of The Bee.
Then again such plums rarely fall to the
lot of a newspaper man. Rosewater has
been preaching political reforms so many
years that the people .would like to see
him put them In practice, and the aenate
would be the place for htm to do it. Here
Is a chance for Nebraska republicans to
redeem themselves.

should have to .have that office, then we
are for Mr. Rosewater. He Is heed and
shoulders above anybody the republicans
have sent there In recent years, and would
be an honor and oredlt to the great state
of Nebraska. - Rosewater Is a giant in
Intellect, Is always alive to the exigencies
of the occasion, and would without doubt
show the United States that Nebraska
was on the , map. Mr. Rosewar would

-Creighton Liberal (dem.).
The republican party could not find a
stronger man In the west, not strong In
popularity, for the very forceful bitterness
of some of the masterful fights he has
waged within and without his party has
left some festering sores, but If Edwnrd
Rosewater were sent to Washington he
would not be a painted signpost he would
be a senator. We have never let an op
portunity pass to listen to the fighting
editor. Whether It waa debating with Joe
Edgerton before laboring organisations on
the money question; with Bryan on some
pf the leading questions of the day, which
later eventa proved Mr. Rosewater In the
wrong; whether on the stump In opposition
to prohibition or the advocacy of some of
the problems In economic administration,
no student could listen to the versatility of
this little human machine as It flitted from
the facts and statistics garnered from
nearly every avenue of trade to a concrete
analysis of our form of government with
out being lost In wonder and admiration.

underestimate the strength of Edward
Rosewater. In point of ability he Is the
peer of any man In his party who seeks
the place. More, he. has been a resident
of Nebraska for more than a third of a
century and during every hour of that time
he has been doing his utmost to advance
Its Interests. Politically he has. In our
opinion, made many mistakes, but, ws be
lieve, with the best cf Intentions. He has
a hard fight to secure the endorsement of
a republican state convention, aa all the
other candidates will pool against hlrn.
H- eer, he Is strong with the voters and
If the rank and file of his party will turn

Those who have tried to forget their ex
periences In the western rest estate boom
of the eighties and later years should sit
up and take notice, smiling the while,
that Greater New Tork has a boom said
to outclass anything ever happened, in
that section at least. During th next
three weeks 2,000 lots In Manhattan, Brook
lyn and the Bronx will be put up at auc
tion. Free transportation, music and re
freshments are furnished the crowds at
auction sales. Many buyers sell out their
holdings at a profit In a few hours, but
the majority of the purchasers are home
seekers. According to an estimate based
on current values, real estate In the New
Tork suburbs promises to Increase IJfiO.OOO,
000 In value during the present year. A
Urge part of these millions will swell the
profits of speculstors and Investors. A
small part will represent capital used to
erect new buildings and for general Im
provements. On the passage of the law compellng
the gas monopoly of New York to reduce
its price from tl to 80 cents per 1.000 feet
of gss, the people of this city began .o
mile at each other and to count up the
amount of money they would save be
cause of the act of the state legislature.
The gas combination Immediately took
the stand that this act was In effect a
confiscation of their property and an
nounced their Intention to fight It to the
courts of Isst resort.
The beginning has been made and a
Judge of the federal court has designated
June 4 as the date when the fight will
really begin. A preliminary order has
been Issued restraining everybody from
putting the new law Into effect.
Meanwhile the gas combination is per
mitted to collect st the rste of tl per 1.000
feet, on the understanding that all moneys
received In excess of the 90 cents shall
be paid Into the court, where It will be
deposited In the banks and draw 2 per
cent Interest.
This 20 cents per 1,000. with the Interest,
will be eventually paid back to the con
sumers of gas In esse they win their fight,
and to the gas company It they do not.
The probability Is that years will pass
during which this money will be drawing
Interest, and meanwhile the public will be
paying $1 and the lawyers will be getting
rich out of the fight.
Ex-Ambassador Joseph H. Choate will
be leading counsel for the New Tork City
gas monopoly In testing the constitutional
ity of the law and Charles E. Hughes of
Insurance Inquisition fame will be leading
counsel for the people.
A plan for cooling and ventilating the
subway has been adopted by the Rapid
Transit commission. By an ingenious ar
rsngement the moving trains will be made
to do part of the ventilating work. Re
newal of air rather than cooling Is the
first thing aimed at. Such renewal. It
Is believed, can best be effec'.ed by ex
hausting the air at points midway be
tween the stations, thereby causing fresh
air to flow In through the station open
ings. Two devices will be used, automatic
valves and electric fans The valves will
be operated by the trains themselves.
These valves open outward only .under
the Increased pressure of air "lused by
passing trains. An outrush of the heated
a.'r between stations Is thus produced,
which, of course. Induces an Inflow of
surface air at the stations. The greater
the number of trains passing the greater
becomes the volume of air removed. The
valves and fans together will be shir to
effect a complete removal of air through
out the subway once every thirty min
utes, It Is' said. ' They would provide ef.
ficlent means for dispelling smoke from
the tunnels In case of fire.
If the fans and louvres are to work at
their highest efficiency more openings for
Inflowing air will have to be provided
at the stations. To Increase these open
ings it Is proposed to cut nut 8,000 squire
feet nf vaulting at various stations and
substitute gratings, with copper pans un
derneath for drainage. The sum of $300,000
will be expended In the Improvements.
In New Tork there have been, of late,
a number of severe explosions, the mys
tery of which puxxled the authorities no
little until careful Inspection disclosed the
cause. The conclusion was reached that
gasoline wss the explosive substance to
which the trouble was due, but It re
quired some time to solve the question
fully and to account for tha presence of
the gasoline In aewers. Finally it was
discovered that It came from the auto
mobile garages, at which the employes
cleaned the vehicles with gasoline, the re
fuse of which went through the drains
Into the sewers. It was found that there
were thirty or more garages within the
explosion belt. Hereafter no gasoline will
be allowed to escape Into the house
drains and thence Into the sewers. The
garages are to be Inspected frequently
and when gasoline Is found In the drains
the person responsible will be arrested.
The mystery of the explosions had caused
much uneasiness lest they were the de
Ubersta act of evilly disposed persons
and Its satisfactory solution affords de
cided relief.

REAL TAINTED MOSEY.
Right eons Demand for Cleaa Paper
Carreaey,
New York Tribune,
There Is one kind of money which is
really "tainted," and against which there
Is on that account a general and well
founded prejudice. That Is the paper cur
rency which Is not morally, but ma
terially, tainted, through long use, much
handling and storage In a variety of places
of more or less uncleanllness. We do not
know that anybody ever positively refuses
to accept such money, though it Is always
In order to protest against a bill that is
too tattered and reeking for respectability.
We are not convinced, either, that every
body that accepts a worn and soiled bill
Is In Imminent danger of dying forthwith
from a complication of tetanus, tubercu
losis and bubonic plague, though we have
no doubt that diseases are occasionally
conveyed through such a medium.- '
But from the point of view of health, of
cleanliness. Of decency and of tha looks
of the thing, there ought to be a reform
of our currency on the lines of the pending
legislation in congreas and of the report
which the treasurer of the United States
has Just made upon the subject. The
treasurer, we observe, does not altogether
approve of any of the three pending bills,
but thinks the good features of all should
be incorporated In one. That may be,
though there are many who will not agree
with him In thinking it too drastic to
order that all bills returned to the treas
ury for redemption shsll be destroyed and
replaced with new ones. Such a system
might cause the destruction of many bills
which were scarcely soiled, but, on the
other hand, a leas stringent measure might
keep In circulation many which were phy
sically vile.
The credit of the country requires that
our circulating medium shall be such that
nobody will feel that it should be handled
with tongs. It Is our boast that our money
Is always and everywhere worth Its full
face value. We ought also to be able to
boast that It Is kept as clean, physically,
as it Is possible to do. Dirty money Is
not so bad as depreciated money, but It la
too bad for a self-respecting nation to
tolerate. Congress will do Itself and the
country credit by enacting a good, strong
law on this subject.
Health as e) Bnalnesa Asset.
St. Louis Republic.
The average man Is rot accustomed to re
gard his health as his very best asset, yet
that Is precisely what it Is. Tho man who
will accord due regard to his health, from
a strictly business standpoint, will go
further, last longer and accomplish more In
the end than one who makes health an
after-conslderatlon. Success which Is at
tained at the expense of health is worth
absolutely nothing to the man who attains
It. There Is no pleasure, either, In the
process or In the Anal result.

An Indiana Judge hat fined a newspaper
publisher 1360 and sentenced him to Im
prisonment In Jail for three months for
contempt of court. The "contempt" con
sisted of an editorial criticism of the
Judge's course In a criminal proceeding.
The case has given rise to a good deal of
Interesting comment and criticism. It
brings out again a not unfamiliar argu.
ment that a Judge tn a proceeding for con
tempt of his own court In effect, of his
own person wields a tremendous power
more than ought to be placed In one
man's hands; but the question as to how
the proper limitation should M placed Is
not settled, and probably never will be.

and both go wrong occasionally. They err
in luagment, or allow their passions and
prejudices to govern them in public mat
ters. In 1904 a United States district Judge is
sued an order affecting a railroad in which
the state of North Carolina waa a stock
holder. It was severely criticised by a
Raleigh paper aa an order which would do
great injury to the state. The editor waa
arrested for contempt and sentenced to
pay a line of 12.000. Cltlsens promptly sub
scribed the money to pay the fine. The
defendant refused the money, and had
himself taken by habeas corpus before
Judge Prltchard of the United States cir
cuit court, who ordered his discharge, say
lnar: "That newspapers sometimes engage in
unwarrantable criticism of courts cannot
be denied. In some Instances they con
strue the liberty of the press as a license
to authorise them to engage In wholesale
abuse of the court, but these Instances
are rare and do not warrant a departure
from the well settled principles of the law
as declared' by congress and construed by
the courts. If judges charged with the
administration of tho law are not to be
criticised on account of their own conduct,
the liberty of the press Is abridged and
mo ngms or individuals Imperiled.".
