CO.ritH.VCE OVER StWRATE LAW.
The great Importance of the changes
made by the new rate control law Is
certified by the conference of the chief
freight and legal officials of all the
railroad companies having lines west
of Chicago with respect to Its require
ments and the methods necessary to
comply with them. The companies
thus recognise that their relations to
the government and the public are
seriously altered, and that they must
pepare to conform to changed condi
tions during the short time elapsing
before the new law goes Into effect.
It Is suggestive that there are, ac
cording to reports of the conference,
almost as many diverse views of the
effect of the law as there are repre
sentatives In the meeting. The fact,
therefore, that a strong effort Is being
made to reach agreement among the
different carrier companies as to the
attitude they shall assume towards the
new legislation Is full of significance
both for the authorities charged with
the enforcement of the law and for the
public which had a definite purpose
In demanding the legislation.
Though they may not see It, nothing
could be more detrimental to the true
Interest of the transportation corpora
tions themselves than to refuse to sub
mit In good faith to tha substantial
purpose of the law, to seek with the
vast power which Is theirs to nullify
or to minimise the effect of the law
or to make common cause In a pro
tracted and destructive campaign of
litigation. That no small part of the
effort to amend the measure during Its
slow progress through congress was
devoted to opening the way for such
obstructionist tactics. Is beyond doubt.
It might be possible to raise In the
courts a variety of constitutional and
other questions the settlement of which
would certainly consume a great deal
of time whntever the final decision
might be, depriving the public in large
part of the benefit of the law In the
meantime, and which might by judicial
fallibility or miscarriage cripple the
law In some of Its important pro
visions. It Is, however, on every score to be
earnestly hoped that the transporta
tion companies now endeavoring to
concert a program will not assume
a recalcitrant attitude. That would
be only to fan public feeling Into a
flame and to precipitate a more critical
Issue. The paramount purpose of the
law to abolish utterly many long
standing abuses and practices Is obvi
ous and least of all can be mistaken
by the carrier corporations. It is up
to them now to demonstrate that they
submit to that purpose In Its broadest
sense, and distinctly and promptly to
aid rather than obstruct Its consum
mation. HOMESTEADS AKD IRRIGATION.
The opening to homestead entry of
the million acres of the Wind River
reservation In Wyoming -enforces at
tention to the fact that the public
domain still available for free homes
Is largely confined to the region of in
sufficient rainfall. From the Canadian
to the Mexican boundary line most of
the good government land suitable for
general farming purposes without
artificial water supply has already
been taken. There are Indeed, areas
which by special methods not required
In the great rain belt to the east can
be profitably cultivated, but relatively
to the unoccupied dry portion they are
of small extent.
It Is suggestive of the change of the
conditions which up to this time have
confronted the movement of popula
tion westward across the continent
that elaborate arrangements are being
now made in advance of the homestead
filings to irrigate the Wind River tract.
In fact the homestead law would be
futile without reclamation of the land
by Irrigation.
The homestead question Is thus
rapidly becoming practically a ques
tion of Irrigation. .The government
Indeed, under the initiative of Presi
dent Roosevelt, took up that subject
in the last congress in a broad way,
none too quickly, and In spite of the
energetic administration of the Irriga
tion law the probability is that the
pressure of population for homes
within the dry region may soon outrun
the means of reclamation.
THE STANDARD OIL PROSKCCTIOSS.
Ordinarily this is the quiet season
at Washington, but the government is
taking no vacation so far as the effort
to bring to book powerful violators of
the anti-trust and anti-rebate laws is
concerned. On the contrary, efforts
which have been in progress tor weeks
by the Department of Justice to secure
a stranglehold especially on the Stand
ard OH are now redoubled. It had
leason through Commissioner Gar
field's report and other circumstances
to believe that the oil octopus. In con
federation with the transporting com
panies from Cleveland, O.. one ot the
great oil refining centers, had had the
benefit of illegal discriminations,
disastrous alike to competitors and to
the consuming public, and since before
the adjournment of congress the whole
machinery of the legal department of
the government has been directed to
the purpose of developing a case there
not so much against minor agenta as
against chief responsible conspirators
themselves, and the representatives of
the government. In spite of the formld
able obstacles thrown in their way,
are shown by reliable reports to be
permitting no midsummer relaxation
to weaken or retard the prosecution.
It Is the very hardest kind of work
the government Is engaged upon In
this persistent effort against the
mightiest corporations In the country,
notwithstanding the fact that it has
to be done out of the public sight. It
Is all the harder because so little ot
( the public encouragement and sustain
lng force that were marshalled behind
the more obvlons Issue lately before
congress Is forthcoming while the un
seen work goes quietly on, and there Is
even a disposition In many quarters
to belittle and misrepresent what ts
being done. But Just such labor Is
Indispensable If
the proofs against I
strongly Intrenched violators are to be
secured and put in the required legal
form. And the fact that the adminis
tration Is permitting no cessation In
the arduous task Is one that thought
ful and Just men ought not to forget.
STTEF.P BEFORE TOCR OW.V Don7
In politics as In social life there ure
always busy-bodies who seek 10 ue
their brooms on their neighbors'
porches while the dirt is ankle deep
In front of their own doors. This
fact Is strikingly illustrated by the
World-Herald, which la devoting Its
entire time and space to stirring up
the dust before the republican edifice
while the democratic front yard is lit
tered with garbage.
It Is amatlng, for example, that the
democratic organ has been able to
discover the machinations and con
spiracies by which the railroads are
trying to capture and dominate the re
publican state convention, nominate a
set of dummies for state officers and
fill the legislature with brass-collared
henchmen.
Not a word, however, about the
machinations and conspiracies that are
being hatched by the corporation
bosses to capture the democratic state
convention and nominate a set of
sham' reformers and bogus anti
monopolists who would do their bid
ding If they are elected.
Not a word either about the plot
hatched by the corporation bosses to
get friendly democrats nominated In
republican districts and democratic
corporation men In democratic dis
tricts so as to throttle all legislation
that may be offensive and enact only
legislation In the interest of the cor
porations. Incidentally the democratic organ
probably has never heard of the well
defined rumor that Mr. Hitchcock Is
behind this plot In order that he may
get the support of the corporations for
his own candidacy at the proper time
as a reward for hammering away at
the repulican candidates who are not
satisfactory to the corporations.
Republican county conventions are
are almost all of them going on record
In favor of endorsing the constitu
tional amendment for a state railway
commission.' Endorsement by the
state convention will record all the
straight party votes for the adoption
of the amendment. Should the demo
crats and populists likewise declare In
favor of the amendment In their state
conventions the straight party votes of
all parties would be recorded for it
and Its ratification at the polls be prac
tically assured. It Is up to the demo
crats to declare themselves in their
conventions, especially in view of the
fact that the democratic county con
ventions so far held have passed no
such resolutions.
The county board may make the an
nual financial reports of county offices
correspond with a fiscal year the same
as the calendar year used by the city,
but the real difficulty is that the tax
levies for city and county are made at
different times and the revenues be
come available at different months ot
the year. A complete unification of
city and county finances Is impossible
until the tax levies of both are consoli
dated so as to become payable, delin
quent and available for drawing war
rants at the same time for both city
and county. To accomplish this,
however, will require legislation and
the removal of several obstacles be
fore the legislature can be procured
to act.
The democratic city council has
agreed to authorize the employment
of an expert accountant to check up
the records of the officers who retired
with the advent of the new adminis
tration. This cannot but be regarded
as a reflection upon the work of the
city comptroller's office, although that
office has been presided over for the
last three years by a democratic in
cumbent who was re-elected and Is,
therefore, a part of the present demo
cratic regime. But perhaps the move
Is designed merely to furnish some
good democrat with a well compen
sated job at the expense of the tax
payers. Mayor Dahlman Is said to be much
more generous with his pardons to
police court offenders than was his
predecessor. Mayor Moores, although
the latter at various times was ac
cused of being too lenient with the
prisoners. The effect of the promis
cuous exercise of the mayor's pardon
ing power will be seen and felt by the
school board when It figures up the
revenue for the year from police court
fines which under the constitution go
to the support of the schools.
While expressing their preferences
aa between different candidatea for the
republican nomination for United
Statea senate, Nebraska republicans
must not forget to pledge their legls
latlve nominees to support and vote
for the senatorial candidate who shall
be endorsed by the state convention
To make the popular choice effective
it must have legislative ratification
afterward.
South Omaha'a Board of Education
has set a ahlning example by fixing
the annual tax levy for the coming
year at S mills less than the levy of
last year. There is no threatening
danger, however, ot the habit beconi
nt contagious.
CAMPAIGN HARTS EwPTT.

Chicago Chronicle.
Although the bill prohibiting corporations
from contributing to campaign funds failed
to pass, at the last session of congress,
th, ia mil tn rr that the ex-
cneqU.r of either party will be "tainted"
to any great extent by corporate contribu
tions this fall.
On the contrary, the party managers are
likely to be hard put to It for funds with
which to meet the mot ordinary and nec
essary expenses, nnd there are many such
expenses despite th conventional notion
that all money used In political campaigns
Is necessarily ti-ed for corrupt purposes.
With the accustomed contributions from
corporate sources cut off the campaign will
have to be conducted with unprecedented
economy.
There Is little doubt that the corporate
contributions win be missing. and for ob
vious reasons.
In the first place, the corporations never
have been anxious to give their money
away. If they have contributed to polit
ical funds It has been because pressure he
been brought to bear upon them to do so.
They have been cajoled or threatened Into
contributing. They will be glad of an ex
cuse to discontinue their contributions and
nobody can deny that they now have excel
lent reasons.
When the politicians come around asking
for th usual donation the corporation
managers can and will r'nt to the fact
that neither party has been especially con
siderate of corporate enterprises lately and
that there Is small Indication of greater
consideration In the future. Why. they will
ask, should the corporations give money
for thelf own undoing? It will be bard for
the collectors to give a satisfactory an
swer. It will be Just as hard for them to argue
away the fact that most of the alleged cor
ruption which has been so loudly de
nounced during the Inst year or two has
been laid at the door of the corporations.
"If we withhold our contributions we can
hardly be accused of corruption." will be
the natural assumption of the corporation
managers; "you will have to get along
without our contribution this year."
Finally and decisively, the corporation
people will remind the political solicitors
that certain corporation managers have
been threatened with the penitentiary for
disbursing trie money of the stockholders
to campaign directors and they will simply
decline to take any such chances them
selves. That will probably settle it.
At any rate, the party war chest that re
ceives anything In the line of corporation
contributions will be an exception. This
will be a year when the party patriot can
show his fealty hy going down Into bis own
Individual pocket. Otherwise the campaign
Ib likely to languish for lack of eteam.
THE APPARENTLY DROWSED.
!red of 3 en -re I Instruction I" Trent,
sirnt of Cases,
New York Bun.
The resuscitation of a boy who had been
under water twenty-three minutes ought
to bring forcibly . to public attention the
need of general Instruction In the treatment
of the apparently, drowned. Although
knowledge regarding first aid to the In
jured Is common. 'there Is still too wide a
prevalence of old-fashioned notions about
rolling a half drowned person on a barrel,
a proceeding which Is likely to finish him.
If submersion has not already done bo.
There is no difficulty In learning what
to do for the apparently drowned. Numer
ous books contain directions and any phy
sician will gladly tell hla frlende and pa
tients the routine. The vital point la the
necessity of continuing the movements for
the restoration of breathing much longer
than they are generally continued.
. It Is true that persons submerged four
or Ave minutes are not usually restored,
but many cases are on record In which this
result has been accomplished after the pa
tient haa been under water for as much as
twenty minutes. The Instructions given for
both the Sylvester and the Howard meth
ods, which are regarded aa the beat, direct
the operatora to continue the movements
for artificial breathing for not -less than
two houra. If breathing Is not previously
restored. The operators In the ease re
ferred to succeeded after efforts lasting
one hour and forty-eight minutes.
It la natural that those laboring over
one apparently drowned should lose hope
If no result Is accomplished In an hour,
and in the majority of casea their despair
would be well grounded. But no one can
tell when he haa the exceptional case un
der hla treatment, and therefore he should
not give up until the limit of possibility Is
reached.
The Man Behind the Shovel.
Chicago Chronicle.
In the last analysis it is the man behind
the gun or behind the shovel who does the
work. The commanders of military or In
dustrial enterprises may plan never so
wisely, but lacking the actual muscle
power, they can accomplish nothing. Sec
retary Taft's warning to Impatient people
that . they must not expect the Isthmian
canal to be completed in a Jiffy Is based
upon the difficulties In the labor proposi
tion. And as the work proceeds we shall
realise more and more fully that the canal
Is not so much a matter of engineering or
financing as of pure thewe and sinews,
No Ingenious device will ever fully replace
the human machine.
Coming Ont In the Open.
San Francisco Chronicle.
Railroad men are now declaring that
they mean to change their methods, and
that hereafter. Instead of protecting of
fenders against the law by silence, they
will bring them to Justice. It Is high time
such resolve was formed and acted upon.
It waa a curious code of honor which pre
vented men from informing on lawbreak
ers, and Its effect was to Involve railroad
men In the suspicion that all were equally
guilty of rebating and of committing other
offenses.

The American Ire company, which en
Joys a monopoly of the business in Greater
New York, Is In an exceedingly happy
mood Just now. Outwardly It presents a
cool. Imposing front; Inwardly It chuckles
gleefully and gathers In the roin. But Its
glee is more difficult to control than the
price of ice and soms of It overflows for
public consumption. The other day the
com pan tickled Its patmne with this no
tire: ,-To discourage the consumption of
Ice as much ss possible, the price of Ice
to all consumers, evcept private families,
will be IS cents a hundred pounds after
July IS, Instesd of SO cents."
The excuse offered by the trust for the
boosting of the price Is that there Is a
shortage In their Ice houses snd that un
less the consumption of Ice Is msterlally
reduced the company will be wholly with
out Ice In the latter part of the summer.
The notice phtlsnthropically states thst
unless the price of ice Is Immediately In
creased the people will be left without any
ire at all In a short time.
In a notice sent out on May 25 the trust
cautioned consumers to be careful and
economical In the use of Ice, and in this
last notice the company says that Its cau
tion wsb not heeded and that the con
sumption of Ice In June was greater than
In the same month last year.
The first definite step In the light of the
Independent dealers against the Ice trust
was taken last week In Brooklyn, when
plans were perfected which It Is hoped will
free the Independent Brooklyn dealers and
the residents of the borough from the
clutches of the combine. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars was pledged toward
the movement. Now that Brooklyn haa
taken the Initiative It Is understood that the
Independent deslers of Manhattan will get
together and adopt similar plans.
To begin with, the erection of a plant
for the manufacture of artificial Ice waa
decided upon. This plant, which will be
run the year round, will coat $2o0.ono. Of
this amount $150,000 has already been
pledged by persons whose namea were
withheld. The other $100,000 will he raised
by the sale of stock to the Independent
dealers at $100 a share.
The $150,000 guaranteed In advance eliin
fnates any neceaalty for delay, and the
work will be begun on the plant within
the month. Its exact site has not yet been
determined upon, but it will probably be
built somewhere In South Brooklyn.
It was also decided to construct three
docks for the reception of Ice from Inde
pendent cutters up the Hudson. One of
these docks will be built In Walisbout ba
sin, another on the Gowanus canal at
Sixth street and the third on the bay
front, between Twenty-fifth and Thirty
ninth streets. The money for these docks
will be subscribed by the dealers and
storage facilities will be provided from the
same sourre. All told, the preliminaries'
for the fight which It is proposed to moke
will require about $300,000.
"Your honor," complained Mrs. Mary De
metrls to Recorder Lasarus In court at
Bayonne, N. J., "my husband here came
home, picked a quarrel with me and struck
me In the face several times. I did not
give him any provocation, but tried to
pacify him."
Recorder Lasarus, who hates a wlfe
beater, , Is fond of ordering punishments
which are strange, but therefore more
likely to be remembered.
'7 am going to rid this city of men who
beat their wives." said he, scowling at De
motrls, who looked shame-faced. "And to
begin I will give all such who are brought
before me a doae of their own medicine.
"Mrs. Demetria, I want you to take your
husband Into the next room. There you
will strike him In the face aa hard and as
often as he struck you. Perhapa the shame
of It will cure him of the more shameful
habit of beating you. Are you willing to do
as I bid, or do you want me to send one
of our healthiest policemen to carry out
the sentence f"
Mrs. DametrlB cast a frightened glance at
her husband, then looked at the recorder,
who nodded reassuringly to her.
"I will do It, Judge,'' said she, and walked
Into the ante-room. Demetria followed
meekly; ahe closed the door behind them.
Every one In the court room listened In
tently for a moment. Then "amacjc!"
"whack!" severs! times repeated sounded
In the next room. The door opened and
Mrs. Demetrls, smiling, as If her bruises
pained her no more, appeared. Then came
Demetrls, on whose red cheeks the marks
left by his wife's hands were plain.
"I hope this will be a lesson to yuu, De
metrls," said the recorder. "I am certain
the punishment hurt your wife more than
you. Go home and ba good to her.''
They went away together, she smiling and
whispering to him, he shaking his head
negatively aa If denying that her slaps
hurt her more than him.
No large city of the world has so many
Islands within Its municipal boundaries as
New York, reports the Sun. Some of these
Islands are mere dots. Others are large
enough to have almost the dimensions of
cities.
Governors Island, with an area of seventy
acres, is the property of the Federal
Government and Is aasessed at $5,000,000 by
the city, which Is $80,000 an acre, and aa
land values go within New York that fig
ure Is low.
Blackwell'a Island, which covers 124 acres,
Is valued at $12,000,000, which Is at the rate
of nearly $97,000 an acre. Ward's Island Is
valued at $9,000,000 and Randall's at $5,000,
000. North Brother Island la valued at
$220,000, Rlker s Island at $037,000 and Hart's
Island at $.150,000.
The most Important of the Islands In
cluded within the boundaries of the Greater
New York ia. of courae, Manhattan Island.
the value of which Is practically Incal
culable. It is at least $5,000,000,000; how
much more Is conjectural.
The Borough of Brooklyn Includes Coney
Island. The whole of the Borough of Rich
mond Is an island, an island valued by the
city for tax purposes at about $60,000,000.
The area of Staten Island la 26,000 acres,
which la almost three times the slse of
Manhattan.
So deeply infatuated was Franceica Rap-
pa lo pf Brooklyn with Qlacomo Randaszo,
a well-to-do merchant agalnat whom she
had permitted a breach of promise suit to
go by default, that she married him by
proxy, hiring a friend to Impersonate her
sweetheart.
The romance of Miss Rappalo was made
public In court In a confession she made In
an action brought by Kandaxso to have a
marriage certificate which has been issued
In his name declared void, and to have It
Judicially established that in the event of
his death Miss Rappalo was not hla widow
The marriage ceremony, according to Miss
Rappalo's aflidnvit, was performed by Rev,
A. Iopono, at the Church of the Holy
Rosary, No. 172 Humboldt street. Ran
dssso was Impersonated hy an acquaintance
of Miss Rappalo. to whom she paid $10.
A certificate of marriage waa filed with tha
health department, and an official trans
crtpt of It mas sent bv Miss Rappalo to the
town in which she was born In Italy. The
certificate of marriage waa recorded In
Rome by the Italian government authori
ties.

The aftermath of the roof garden tragedy
In New York furnishes a striking example
of vanity In news. Just because the tragedy
happened In Kew York, newspaper readers
are treated dally with chronicles of the
movements of the Interested parties, the

views with nobodies one dsy and contradic
tions the next, Snd other gossip of no In
terest to any one outside of the New York

PATENT RIGHTS IN NEBRASKA.
"Opportunities" In Which the ProSta
Are One-Slded.
New York Evening Post.
A correspondent of The Omaha Bee calls
ttention to neglected opportunities for
selling "patent rights" In Nebraska.
There are three-quarters of a million of
American patents, and It would be possible
to dispose of the "rights" for each In every
one of Nebraska a ninety counties, yet
there are only 4.047 patent rights listed In
the state. However, It Is quality that
counts, and If the example cited la really
typical of the sort of rights sold, Nebraska
need not be ashamed. A villager hired a
stranger to saw hla wood, as the story
goes. Presently the stranger confessed
the reason for his poverty. He had spent
his substance working out an Invention
for keeping horses off the barb-wire fences.
Such a device would be useful Indeed In
a country where valuable horses oome
home gashed and torn, and preaently the
villager paid $2,000 for the right to sell
the Invention in Nebraska- The aample
was sent later. It was a sign board to be
hung on the fence, and read as follows:
NOTICE TO HORSES:
DANGEROUS KEEP AWAY.
With the sign bosrd came a pair of spec
tacles for the use of near-sighted horses.
There Is at least one man who did not
neglect the "opportunities" In Nebraska.

THE SHEEP HERDER'S BATTUE.
Denver Republican.
Wa call him Loco Johnson, but we say It
mighty low.
Since he broke the cowman's deadline
over here In Idaho;
And now he takes his wagon into any
country strange.
For the 46 he carries won the freedom of
the range.
He was called upon, waa Johnson, by a
masked and well heeled bunch, '
And was told he'd crossed the deadline
and had better take their hunch;
He be called upon nest mornln' If he
didn't pull his freight
And then they shot tils collie and advised
him not to wait.
Well, old Johnson s eyes waa blatln' when
he looked at his dead pup, -And
them cowboys never figured on the
row they'd started up;
The herder spent the long night pllin'
stones on Sugar Butte,
Till he'd built himself a breastwork,
where a man could rest and shoot.
Them cowboys come at sunup, and thty
thought old Loco'd fled.
And the rifles started talkln and the sheep
was faliin' dead;
But from that tix-re fort of Loco's come a
4Vs loud cracka,
And every time It spoke once dropped a
puncher in his tracks.
They tried to charge the fortress, but thty
left four cowboys dead
On the slopes of that there hillside, with
old Loco overhead;
And that gun kept up its talkln'. like it
never Tost Its breath.
And Its line of conversation was upon the
theme of death.
Well, they gathered up their remnants, and
waa glad to get away,
And, then he saw lie d won It, old Johnson
knelt to pray;
And he marched on, with his woollies,
blacln' trail for other bands.
For he'd broke the blromln' daadllne' twtxt
