"staxd nr ttonnr.rr.i.T.'
The republican congressional cam
paign committer, by adopting for lte
slogan, "Stand by Roosevelt," as It la
reported to have don, merely adjueta
Itself to the logic of the altuatlon. The
pople are overwhelmingly with the
president, and the fact that the legis
lation enacted during the late session of
congress la to so great an extent In ac
cordance with the alma and program
of his administration la the strongest
possible basis for appeal for popular
support In the coming congressional
district and Btate elections. It was In
deed because this result was foreseen
that the successful embodiment In law
of ao much of the Roosevelt program
was possible, and the committee could
not fail to eee how powerful the party
plea can be made on the ground of sus
taining the president during the last
two years of his term.
There la no possible question that
this must be the essence of the re
publican argument on the stump and
through the press. It has already been
adopted as the paramount feature In
every republican state platform that
has been put forth so far this year,
and It la safe to predict that no state
or district convention will be held In
which the point will not likewise be
pushed to the front. But the crucial
test, after all, by which the voters will
be mainly Influenced, will be the char
acter of the candidates presented by
the republican nominating conven
tions. The cry of "Stand by. Roose
velt" will have significance and force
according as It Is verified by candi
dates known beyond a peradventure to
be men who In the house and In the
senate will actually stand by KooBe
velt. There can Indeed be no choice as to
the battle cry, the campaign argument
or the platform, and accordingly as
pirants who are unknown or doubtful.
or whose special Interests and politi
cal records are at variance with the
whole spirit and purpose of the presi
dent, are likely to be loudest in pro
fession of loyalty. It Is therefore up
to republicans to put on guard none
but leaders whose characters and rec
ord Indubitably make good the "Stand
by Roosevelt" battle cry.
RKBATIXU DEVICES..
The conviction of the Chicago &
Alton railroad and two of Its high offi
cers on charges of rebating Is another
notable case jn the rapidly lengthen
lng list In which the federal courts are
bringing to naught and punching varl
ous attempted evasions and devices by
which the effect of rebating has been
secured by the carrier companies and
favored shippers in collusion. ' A great
variety of such devices liave been em
ployed to get around the. laws long on
the statute books and perpetuate under
other names the prohibited rebate
abuse.' But lately the courts have put
the seal of condemnation upon all such
devices as one after another has been
the subject of prosecution.
jl This . line,' of decisions now prac-
ucauy settles it mat the courts will
hold as a rebate any transaction or
series ot transactions, no matter how
indirect, complicated and subtile, the
effect pf which is essentially that of a
rebate. :"Thls was thepoint in the re
cent rebate prosecutions against, the
Burlington at Kansas City. and. now-
In the Alton case at Chicago the court
holds that "by the word 'rate Is not
meant merely a figure or figures
printed on a schedule filed with the
Interstate commerce commission and
exhibited on the walls of i railway
station," but "the net coat to the ship
per, the net amount the carrier re
ceives from the shipper and retains,"
which amount must be the same to all
shippers and must be exactly shown
on the schedule. Any deviation from
the rate. , the purpose and effect of
which Is discrimination between ship
pers, ts a rebate within the meaning of
the law.
It is noteworthy that all these deci
sions and convictions have been se
cured under the old interstate - com
merce law through the policy of ro
bust prosecution. The new law soon
to go into effect will Immensely
strengthen the arm of public authority
by explicit provisions against many of
the rebate devices and evasions which
have been extensively practiced, by
severer penalties and by many other
means. Thus fortified the courts and
prosecuting officers can make rebating
In any form or device at once unprofit
able from a financial point of view and
exceedingly dangerous to the offender.
BUILD FOR THK FCTUHK.
The builders of Omaha must look to
the future as well as to the present.
There Is too much danger that In
responding to the immediate demands
of enlarged business and population,
the still larger demands sure to come
In the near future may be overlooked
and neglected.
our people must realize that the
marvelous growth of the past is in
all probability to be overshadowed by
the growth that Is to come, In the
short period of fifty years Omaha has
run the gamut from a townsite map
plastered on an uninhabited prairie to
a metropolitan city with a population,
Including Its suburbs, exceeding 150,
000. This growth is destined to go
on at a more or less rapid rate, and the
needs ot a city of 260,000 to 300.000
people must be constantly kept in
mind In the planning of public and
private Improvements.
The Omaha of the future must
measure up to other cities of its class
It must not be loaded down in the
present with cheap-John buildings and
eyesore structures on its principal
streets whose" removal it would take
years to accomplish. If immediate
profit and quick returns are permitted
to become the ruling factor, not only
ig the city sure to be disfigured and
its growth retarded, but tie Individ
ails responsible for It are likely to be
disappointed and Injured In the long
run. Temporary advantage will be
followed only by permanent disadvan
tage.
The founders of Omaha were brosd-
gauged and far-sighted and the build
ers of the new Omaha must likewise
look ahead and work out big plans on
a large scale.
A SIGSIFICAKT PCCLAFAtiny.
One deeply significant part of the
president's Fourth of July address,
which is only Just now beginning to re
ceive the attention Its Importance mer
its. Is as follows: "This year In con
gress our chief task has been to carry
the government forward along the
course which I think it must follow
consistently for a number of years to
come that is, in the direction of seek
ing on behalf of the people as a whole,
through the national government
which represents the people as a whole,
to exercise a measure of supervision,
control and restraint over the Indi
viduals, and especially over the cor
porations, of great wealth. In so far as
the business use of that wealth brings
it within the reach of the federal gov
ernment." If there were not abundant
other proofs, this declaration, made in
the manner and tone In which some of
the president's most Important an
nouncements have been put forth, cer
tainly warrants the Inference that he
regards the work of securing national
control over powerful individuals and
corporations within Its jurisdiction as
by no means completed. Indeed, he
characterizes what has been done as
'a fair amount" of accomplishment In
extending federal control and regula
tion over such Interests.
The president's language at least
Implies determination to employ the
greatly extended powers conferred by
new legislation and to make national
control a real and vital factor. His
words, too, would easily cover resolute
effort for further progressive legisla
tion In the same spirit that was back
of the rate control, meat Inspection
and pure food measures. Whether the
surmise that he has in mind to press
upon congress at its next session a bill
embodying the idea of federal licenses
to corporations whose products enter
Into interstate commerce or who are
engaged in it be correct or ndt. It may
be taken as certain that the president
during the remainder of his term pro
poses to labor as unceasingly as he
has hitherto to promote positive and
aggressive policies on vital issues, and
that advancing public opinion, will not
find him lagging behind. .
Over in Iowa the ' last republican
county convention on the list is to be
held July 14. which is more .than two
weeks in advance of the meeting of
the state convention. This gives ample
time to verify credentials and to make
np the roll call by temporary adjust
ment ot contests. Here In Nebraska
it has come to be the custom to hold
county conventions right up to the eve
of the ' state'- conveutloW" leaving'' no
period in between to arrange prelimt
narles. The state convention this year,
for example, Is to meet August 22 and
county conventions have been slated
for as late aa August 20. The repub
lican national committee lays down the
rule that delegates to national conven
tlons must be chosen at least thirty
days in advance and our republican
state organization ought to fix some
time limit of the same kind, requiring
at least a week to intervene between
the choosing of delegates and the meet
ing of the state convention.
The mayor and council are delaying
ordering the city hall building put In
a state of good repair for fear the ex
pense might cut into the current funds
too heavily. This valuable piece of
property should be looked after, at
least as well as It would be if it be
longed to a private citizen or corpora
tion. There should be no question of
spending a few thousand dollars to
protect an Investment of half a mil
lion. )
The canvass of votes cast at the re
cent Douglas county primary election
involves the checking of approximately
400,000 tallies. Over 600 names were
on the return sheets, and if each one
received one or more votes In each of
the eighty voting districts there would
be 40,000 numerical Items to add in
the tabulation. The extreme of
rldiculousneBB Involved In the "rota
tion" ballot proposition could not be
more strikingly Illustrated.
The World-Herald has suddenly dis
covered that the primary election vote

The I.onesomeness of Cleveland.

There will probably be some timidity
about Inviting Grover Cleveland outright to
get Into the Bryan chariot, but there will
be a place for him If he comes, and he
will be permitted to speak occasionally If
e shows a disposition and expertnesa to
keep on the trolley. Mr Cleveland counte
nanced Judge Parker's candidacy, and he
will hardly give the cold shoulder to Col
onel Bryan. Mr. Cleveland haa now
reached that age and degree of retire
ment In which he Is in danger of being
lonesome occasionally. He may not find
any companionship but that of the Bryan
crowd.
ralnfal I.ape la ww-GlaT.
New Tork Tribune.
Nothing relating to the wreck at Balls-
bury haa caused more comment among
newspaper men than the fact that the
story of th accident, which occurred at
m. on Saturday, New York time, was
not In type here until more than twenty-
four hours later. Modern Journalism is
not used to such gaps between America
and England. The delay was due to the
newspaperese English Sunday, but It seem
strange that no one, either In the quiet
cathedral town or in a metropolis which
has no regular hours for sleep, bethought
himself that such a piece of news might
be of Interest to the United States.
The Passing of Cromwell.
Minneapolis Journal.
In the excitement of parting with a ses
sion of congress which did things, some
matters whose fate It Indirectly Influenced,
have failed to receive the attention they
deserved. For one thing, we have as a
nation neglected to stop and pay tribute to
the matchless worth of William Nelson
Cromwell, who has "lost his Job" as coun
sel for the Panama canal commission. This
spectacular result must be credited to Sena
tor Morgan, for while the venerable mem
ber from Alabama could not get a word
out of William Nelson on the witness
stand. It appears that the president got
two words out offhim after the examina
tion, and those two little words were a
whispered "I resign." It was none too
soon.
Aa Aarlenltaral Trust.
Springfield Republican.
What Is called the American farm
products company has been organised un
der the law of New Jersey with auch
capitalists aa Levi P. Morton, Thomas F.
Ryan, II. P. Whitney, Anthony Brady and
others back of It. It starts with a nom
inal capitalization of $19,000,000, and alms
to absorb the principal concerns of th
country handling dairy products. It wiC
give attention particularly to buying and
refining butter under pretended processes,
which. It Is claimed, produce a genuln
article' superior In quality to farm butter,
which Is to be a raw material In the com
pany' production. This 'seem to be the
attempted beginning of an agricultural
trust, but aa long as It Is true that capital
enough to buy a cow or two and a churn
will suffice on any farm to start an oppo
sition butter plant, the progress of monop
oly In this direction will be rather slow.

probable that a hundred thousand first

as their total possessions. But the two
economic currents are not exactly on a
par; the Immigrant become a wealth-
producing machine here, having been taken
care of during the years when he w
not a wealth producer by the country which
loses him. It I unlikely that the "See
America First" movement will prove any
more effective In averting this flow of

LABOR'S OPPORTI MTY.
In m Season of Plenty Prepare foe a
Shortage.
Portland Oregonlan.
Never before In the history of the great
west and northwest ha there been such
loud and insistent demand for labor as
Is beard at the present time. From the
harvest fields ot Kansas to the railroad
CHinps of Oregon and Washington: through
the mining camps of Colorado and Man
tana, and out on the stock ranges of the
great plateau; taxing the force of crafts
men, carpenter, electrlrlans, plumbers
palntera and others to the utmost, and
speeding men through all classes of com
mercial and mercantile life, this demand.
Insistent, earnest, even appealing. Is heard
Wage keep pace with the laborer' oppor
tunlty, the men literally fixing their own
price and dictating their own hours.
The pertinent questions here are: Is
labor rising In an earnest, honorable, ef
fectlve way to meet Its opportunity ?. Does
It lay hold upon It opportunity gladly,
cheerfully and with the purpose to give
honest service for a generous wage? Are
worklngmen aa a claa housing themselves
from possible Industrial disaster a few
years hence In their own homes? Are they
adding a sum weekly to their savings ac
count In order that Industrial depression
Incident to financial disaster, may not find
them empty-handed A glad day. Indeed,
would H be for the worklngmen of the
T'nlted Btate If these question could be
answered affirmatively, and' a glad day
for their employer a well. It Is fre
quently said, and unfortunately all too
truly, that laboring men aa a class work
by the clock. The chief desire the open
purpose of many of them la to "put In
time" for the sole purpose of drawing
their pay. To th extent that this Is true
the word "honesty"' 1 not In the labor
code. There are exceptions, but the rul
remain and ha wide application.
Kvery employer recognises this fact and
deplorea it not only for his own sake, but
for the sake of the laborer who falls to
rise to his opportunity. .Every laborer rec
ognlies it, , and many exru and even
glory in It. It ia a aad commentary upon
th short-sightedness of human nature
that thia condition exist, ami the saddest
feature Is found In the moral obtuseness
that underliea it.
"Becat thou a man diligent In business,'
aid the wise man. "He shall stand
among king; he shall not atand among
men." The opportunity is offered In the
great wave of Industrial prosperity that I
now (weeping the country for every man
to make for himself a place among kings

nation. If he falls to do this and la found
among "mean men," the fault will be hi
own, for clearly labor's opportunity la hers

The full extent ot Edward Rosewater's
victory In Douglas county Is now plain.
II will appear In the republican state con
vention with the solid delegation, eighty
three votes, behind him to help make him
th republican nomine for United States
senator. The Rosewater ticket carried
every ward In Omaha and ha about 2,600
total vote against half that for th Fonta
nell ticket. This decisive Rosewater vic
tory disposes of some things, not all. It
dispose of any effective candidacy from
Omaha except Rosewater. John 1. Web--ter
and Charley Greene faded a long tlm
ago from the stage setting of the sena
torial drama. They will now be followed
by Lorenzo Crounse and Joseph H. Mil
lard, notwithstanding the announcement by
the latter that he I still in the neld. in
the field he may be, but certainly not In
the race. The possession of eighty-three
votes which can be handled solidly In mak
ing combinations with candidates for other
places on the state ticket gives Mr. Rose
water an advantage in th state conven

Tork Time (rep.).
Mr. Roewater' .victory. In Douglas
county 1 more rweeplng than even the
most sanguine anticipations, being about
two to one. HI entlr delegation of
eighty-three are elected by about that
amount. There has not been uch unanim
ity In that county sine the county waa
organized. It I what we anticipated and
predicted., only more so, and the same
sentiment pervade the state with the ex
ception of a few countlea It could ' not
well be otherwise. All this agitation
against corporation points with unerring
finger to the man who haa been th head
and front of it for thirty yeara, who haa
consistently and Insistently made the fight
through good report and 111 report, and
mostly 111 report. The StAte Journal, which
exerta considerable Influence In th South
Piatt country, haa declared to Mr. Rosa-
water and Th Omaha Be. "You hav been
right all the thirty year and w have
been wrong; while we have In fact been
a willing tool of corporation you have
bravely and consistently fought th bat
tlea of the common people, sometimes al
most alone. You hav been maligned
aboused, beaten and your life attempted
whila we were fighting on th other side.
You wer right and we were wrong."
This Is th virtual admission of th Jour
nal and Its followers. They ar strong
enough to raise the storm, but all too
weak to guide or control it. The people
ee the point. It Is a wave of Rowatr-
ism, pur and simple, and If It prevail
In th stat will sweep him Into the
United State senate. It I th natural
and only legitimate result.

The opponents of Roewater were again
knocked out at th primaries In Douglas

The frequency of blow-hole In the Ka-it
and North river, due to escaping air from
tunnel works. re surface Indication ot
erioti trouble In th river beds. Work
on th Pennsylvania double-tube tunnel
between New Tork and New Jersey has
come t a standstill. A strike of the tun
nel diggers, locally known as sand hogs,
for fewer hour and more wages, I the
announced cans of the delay. Th fact
ar. according to th Time, that the tuba
ar too near the surface of the river be.1,
necessitating unusual air pressure to keep
out water, and men working under the air
pressure are aald to b exhausted In two
hour. Their workday I six hour In two
three-hour hlft. They Insist on a re
ductlon to two shift of two hour each.
Th Pennsylvania's East river tunnel wa
planned to go under th river bed at an
average depth of only twenty feet. Th
English contracting firm which got tho
contract for th Pennsylvania's Eaat river
tunnel argued that even If they did strik
through tbe river bed, they would be ab!
to construct a new or false rlv-r bed by
Inking bag of clay and cement. They
had taken tht course In tunneling und-r
th Thames, they said.
American engineer pointed out that th
tide In th Thame could not be compared
with that In th East river. They said
the East river tide wa much stronger
than th tide of th Thame, so that bag
of clay and cement would be swept away
from the point where they were sunk.
Consequently It would be Impossible to
creat a false river bed.
This proved to be the cas when the
flrst "blowout" occurred. Th compressed
air forced a bole from the completed end
of th tunnel through the bed of the river
out to the water, where it mad the water

The mystery which haa long given Chi
natown Its chief charm has been dissi
pated, the great secret ha been laid bare
ruthlessly. Chop Suey 1 not edible. This
Is the decision handed down by th cus
tom house authorities. Many had sua
pected It; a few had openly affirmed It.
But as long as th "rubber neck wagons"
brought th dally recruit, whose chief de
light It wa ta prod away at th weird
mixture in th china bowl with "those
cut little stick," th Chines restau
rant keeper dwelt cure and prospered.
Only th cook knew what th chop uey
wa mad of, and h could b trusted not
t tell. Th question as to Just what a
chop suey I was brought about by the
collector of th port, who assessed the
artlcl at 40 per cent ad valorem duty.
Th collector held It wa a sauce, but this
view was disputed by th Importers of
the stuff. Voluminous testimony was
taken and merchant and manufacturer
of chop oey were brought her to testify
as to the edible properties of the dainty.
Last week th decision waa announced
and, not being edible, chop suey in future
will be admitted to this country under a
duty of only 20 per cent. But It would
hav been cheap at any price to hav kept
the secret inviolate.

Some circumstance justify
The creed of "Might Is right!"
And he Is but a living lie
Vho strives to be polite.
'Twas a public drinking fountain
Stood In the city sqtmre,
And many thirsty mortals
Were congregated there.
Within a marble basin
The water bubbled up,
And anchored by a cable
Waa one small drinking cup.
I, mindful of my manners,
Gave way to "Ladies first,"
Although my very pnlate
Was burning up with thirst.
The lady took the dipper
Nor even glanced at me.
But raised the dripping cupful
To taunt my agony.
She drank with maddening alownevs.
And then when she was through.
Up spake another lady;
Yes, thank you, after you."
Thla lady had a alster,
Four daughters and a son.
And each assumed the dipper
Aa soon as she was done.
Then she did wet her 'kerchief
Within the drinking place.
And used the cup for cleansing
Hie youngster's hands and face.
Then cam a brutish fellow,
To niy exceeding pain.
Who seised the cup, remarking,
"I've gotterketchertraln."
Through all thla weary waiting
I stood as one accurst.
My very soul was sweating,
My mouth waa black with thirst.
Still, now my turn was coming,
But thereupon, alas!
A thing of awful horror
Did quietly come to pass.
Up walked an ancient matron,'
Attended by a crew
Of orphans from a foundling home.
All walking two by two.
And each f these was thirsty
I swooned into a trance.
And someone, kindly summoned
The blessed ambulance.
Bom circumstances Justify
Th creed of "Might I right!"
And he Is but a living lie
Who strives to be polite.
