Tho corporation stalking horses who hope to bo tho beneficiaries of legislative manipulation if the senator ship were to bo delivered u hereto fore over the legislative bargain coun ter and their paid agents are still en deavoring to set the pins to prevent any nomination of a candidate for United State senator in tho coming republican stato convention. Among the specious arguments they advance are these: That convention nomination would endanger the success of the ticket, that the railroads can con trol conventions easier than they can control legislatures and that the nom ination in convention would have no binding effect upon the members of the legislature by whose votes the sen ator Is later to be elected. The fact that failure to nominate, after leadlnf the people to believe their wishes were to govern, would be dangerous, if not fatal, to party success, they carefully evade, as also the fact that the rail roads would prefer convention nomina tion if they thought they could handle conventions easier. While It is con ceded that convention nomination If not as directly responsive to the will of the rank and file of tho party as would be nomination by direct pri mary, yet. when the issue is clearly drawn, it surely comes nearer to direct popular choice than would remanding it to the legislature. Lest we forget, it may not be amlsi to recall the Nebraska deadlock of six years ago, from whose blasting ef fects the party has not yet wholly re covered. That deadlock lasted from the commencement to the very ad journment of the, legislature a dead lock purposely produced by the rail road bosses, who stopped at nothing to defeat the candidates committed to the interests of the people as against cor porate aggression. The wishes of the rank and file of the party aa expressed In the vote of preference at the preced ing election were defiantly disregarded and out of the deadlock finally came two senators answering to no popular demand whatever. It waa resentment of and disgust with the betrayal of the people In thla senatorial fiasco that made the plan of convention nomina tion welcome two years ago. because it held out the promise that a senator might be elected of whose candidacy the public would be apprised in ad vance and on whose qualifications they might have an opportunity to pass. We doubt very much whether the people of Nebraska are ready to go back with the senatorship to legisla tive bargain and sale, and invite repe tition of the disgraceful deadlock with its disappointing results. Had direct nomination or convention nomination prevailed six years a (to the people would have chosen their senators In stead of having them chosen for there by the corporation bosses, and, having now realized that the power lies In their own hands, the people are not ready to abdicate again In favor of their former master FARM TENDENCIES. The official of an eastern agricul tural college who has been at great pains to collect answers to the Ques tion why boya leave the farm, amass ing material for a lengthy magazine article which has attracted no little attention, would probably have been more profitably employed, because get ting nearer the truth of the matter, by Inquiring into the reasons why so many boys are not leaving the farm. For abundantly verified facts establish the point that during the last decade there has been a distinct tendency among farmers' boya to make farming their occupation. The outlook for farming under present conditions is very different from what It was when the brlght-witted boy was destined for the professions or trade and only his duller brethren were deemed proper for the farm. The trend of affairs la to reverse the process. Competition of rich western land with the lean or worn soils of the east has produced enormous economic con sequences, now becoming better un derstood, which, in connection with other forces, bear directly on the concentration of population In Indus trial centers. In the older settled parts of the west, particularly west of the Missis sippi, there has lately been a quite gen eral movement from the farms to the towns, but It has been very largely the older people, whose places on the farms are taken by the young, and not compulsoiily for livelihood, but largelj because of the value and desirability of the farms to their sons. In short, the Inherent attractions of the farm have been enormously multl plied, and they will be relatively en hanced If Industrial development con tinues In the direction In which it Is moving. Telephone, rural mall serv ice, machinery, diversification and spe cialization of farm Industry and the possibilities opened by applied science are pontributlng to the comfort and profit of farm life In a degree that would have been Inconceivable not very long ago. It la a field that ap peals now more every year to farmers' boys. The notable growth' of agrlcul tural colleges, experiment stations and various associations, as well as the ex tension of government ' Interest, to some extent measures this progress. It Is likely to Increase rather than diminish, notwithstanding there is dis position to regard the occupation of land as far advanced. But the subdi vision of farms, with Intensive cultl vatlon, has only fairly begun. Hardly any limit can be put to the posslblll ties of Irrigation In the rainless re gion or of dry cultivation In sub humid tracts. Moreover, practical farming has already become for boye the best possible qualification for suc cess In Innumerable employments more or lees directly related to the farm. Many farmers' boys, of course, are leaving the farms, but 'not more of them, and probably far fewer, propor tionately than leave the occupations of their fathers engaged in other indus try, but the Influences are strengthen ing and multiplying that should hold them to the farm. siaira or coxTisuiyo PROsrrBrrr. On every Bide we have unmistakable signs of continuing prosperity. The government crop report Just Issued gives estimates of what will be the greatest wheat crop recorded In Amer ican history, which also means the greatest wheat crop ever raised in any country. The outlook for corn like wise promises to make the yield a record breaker, and. barring unfore seen contingencies, the product of the farm In other staples will not run be hind In any respect. Aa another Index of prosperity the remarkable Increase of railway earn ings for the first six months of this year is decidedly significant. From returns made to it the Financial Chronicle figures out an Increase of more than 14 per cent In gross earn ings over those of the corresponding months of 1905. or about $130,000, 000. The not earnings will probably show an advance over last year just as large, because, although some re ductions have been made In passenger rates, these will be offset by the aboli tion of rebates and similar conces sions. In the iron and steel Industry, which is taken to reflect general business con ditions, the output of pig iron for the first half of 1906 reached 12,602,901 tons, against 11.S29.205 tons the pre ceding six months.' and the total for the present year is figured to exceed 25,000,000 tons, which will be more than 2,000,000 tons greater than 1905. If the indulgence of taste for luxury Is a sign of prosperity, there is en lightenment In the statistics of our diamond Imports, which for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1906, were val ued at $34,862,551, as compared with $27,419,000 in 1905 and $18,804,000 In 1904. Signs of continuing prosperity within our own horizon are likewise plainly visible. The era of building expansion shows no flagging. The condition of the banks with reference to deposits and loans Is most reassur ing and business enterprises of all kinds are making steady headway. With all these substantial founda tions for uninterrupted prosperity the prospects for the Immediate future were never better, although now, as in all cases of high tide, the prudent man will keep within the range of realities and out of the realm of spec ulative futures. DANGEROUS SHORT-CUTS. The disastrous wreck of the Italian steamer Slrio off the coast of Spain u week ago draws attention to the un necessary risks too often run in at tempting dangerous short cuts. The captain of the steamer In his over haste to save time ran his vessel upon the rocks, destroying the lives of more than 300 people and visiting upon him self the penalty of his rashness by committing suicide as the boat sank beneath the waves. , The tendency of modern Industrial ism in many walks of life Is toward the dangerous short cuts. Our zeal to travel fastest makes us reckless of all laws of safety and precaution. To the dangerous short cuts are to be charged up hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of dollars of property un necessarily sacrificed on both land and sea year after year. Nor is the mere loss of life and phy sical property the only tribute that Is exacted. The temptation to try dangerous short cuts to wealth Is most subversive of moral sensibilities. The get-rich-qulck Idea takes no ac count of whether the path to the goal Is the straight road or the crooked lane. It is safe to say that nine-tenths of those who co wrong In a business way have no evil intentions at the start, but aro misled Into taking a dangerous short cut to fortune and get grounded upon the rocks before they realize where they are. The moral has been pointed out over and over, but cannot be preached too often. The sate road is the best road even If It Is not the shortest. The short cut that leads to disaster brings no reward except misery. CRIMES OF TRUSTEES. If a burglar . who enters a house kills, even though In self-defense and though he had no such purpose, he is guilty of murder. The natural, and, In fact. Inevitable consequence of the crime of the wretch who, as president of the looted Chicago bank, for yea re has been engaged In a system of elab orate and wholesale robbery la death to some and Incalculable suffering to thousands of Innocent and confiding people, and several deaths have. In fact, already occurred. The criminal In this case, if caught, cannot be pun ished for his true deserts as the burg lar could be. but the case does em phasize the disparity of penal provi sions and the far-reaching relations in volved In the high crimes of trustees. All the burglaries and highway rob beries that have been committed in the state of Illinois In a decade have not together Involved a tithe of the suf fering and damage caused by this one recreant Chicago banker. Yet against the former the law denounces Its high est punishments and provides ungrudg ingly a most elaborate and costly pre ventive system. In comparison tte half dozen bank examiners provided for the whole state Is a mere bagatelle. It Is idle to say that official supervi sion to prevent such crimes or dan gerous acts where there may be no criminal Intent cannot well be more efficient. Unudr existing conditions of Indus try and society such trust relations at are involved In banking are not only unesrapable, but also, immense as they are already, they must continually and rapidly multiply and extend. The peril to society Increases In direct ratio to their growth. Strangely enough, pro vision for punishment and prevention of crimes ngalnst trust has been neglected, although there is ground In the recent public awakening to a sense of the importance of these relations to hope for more adequate dealing with the subject. IMMEDIATE EFFECTS OF RATE LAW. While the amended Interstate com merce law will not legally go Into ef fect till August 28. and while It will be long before its full benefits are realized, because of the magnitude of the work of putting the law In opera tion, yet in the short time since con gress adjourned a vast amount of abuse subject to Its provisions has been stopped by the railroad companies practically the same as If they were already in full legal force. This pro cess, Indeed, was Inaugurated to some extent during the session of congress in anticipation that the act would pass. Many of these abuses no doubt are also violations of the old interstate commerce law, and the unlntermlttlnc prosecutions which the administration has successfully conducted have power fully influenced the roads. But the penalties under the amended law for violations and the devices resorted to for evading the old law are so much more severe, and the means for en forcement are so much greater, that the roads find themselves compelled to prepare for obedience, and preparation thus Involves abandonment of many long established practices in advance of the date of the new law's legal operation. To this class belongs a multitude of corrections of discriminating rates, which, even if not criminal violations of the new law. will be within the control of the Interstate Commerce commission under the rate making power. The commission, through its agents, has been for weeks inquiring into unjust rates, the existence of which has been reported as the result of various investigations by the De partments of Commerce and Justice or by individual shippers. The mere fact of such inquiry has caused the prompt filing with the commission of scores of tariffs abolishing the rates which have long caused grievous injustice to the public. These circumstances cannot but be regarded as good omens of the succese of the amended law when It shall be In full legal effect and there is time for authority to enforce all Its provi sions, and the result already explains why the president's policy was so ardu ously opposed by those interests which have been identified with the abuses which it Is aimed to abolish. MUNICIPAL HOME RULE. The new complications Into which Governor Mickey has been drawn by his fire and police board appointees at South Omaha are sure to strengthen the demand upon our lawmakers to es tablish 'a more sharply defined sphere of municipal homo rule. There is no more reason why the governor of the state should appoint the fire and police commissioners for the city of South Omaha and assume the responsibility for the police regu lations of that city than that he should appoint the mayor and council and as sume responsibility for the financial administration of municipal affairs. If this responsibility rests upon him he should, it is true, discharge it, but the delegation to the governor of authority over the local affairs of such a commu nity is a flagrant violation of the prin ciple of home rule and a denial of local self-government. It the people of each city could frame and amend their own charters and elect and remove their own local city officers without interference of legislature or governor they would get the kind of government which they want and hold every official strictly to accbunt. Municipal home rule le bound to come In time, and lessons like that cited are sure to hasten the day. Another remarkable feature of the direct primary in Illinois is found in the confession of former Governor Yates, embodied in a postscript to his pre-election statement. In this the for mer chief executive declares: My administration was not brilliant, but it waa honest. I enforced the law and protected the taxpayer by the veto power. I made many mistakes, but tried to undo them. ' My mistakes hurt me mora than any one else and I have tried to atone for them. There are evidently governors and governors. Some governors never make mistakes or do anything that I not brilliant. They still cherish the Idea that the governor is the representative of the royal prerogative and that the king can do no wrong. If an honest confession is good for the soul. Gov ernor Yates must rest easier since he unbosomed himself. If It were not for those bandy and lucrative Chautauqua lecture engage ments some of our oratorical senators and congressmen might be tempted to indulge in speculation to expand their incomes. All hall the chautaucua as one of the uplifting agencies of mod ern civilization. The penalty of the Chinese law In meting out decapitation to officers of banks that fail has not been enforced for 200 years because no banks have failed. Wise men those In the far east. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is enjoying himself giving surprise par ties to the various meat packing es tablishments throughout the country. It Is needless to say that the man agers are trying to keep themselves In readiness to entertain him and assure Lira that the honor and pleasure is all theirs. ' It would seem that the International policyholders' committee might have to arbitrate differences in its own ranks before it can present a united front to the directors of the life Insur ance companies -thus proving again that constructive work is more diffi cult than destruction. Experience with contractors In irri gation work In Wyoming does not tend to prove the advantage of the contract system for the Panama canal. If the government must complete the work It might as well start It and the start has already been made on the isthmus. Admiral Skrydloff says officers are more to blame than privates for recent mutiny In the army and navy. This may be good news to the privates, but as courts-martial are made up of of ficers, it is hard to see how it will save tbeir necks. With rebates granted from the 50 cents per hundredweight received by railroads carrying sugar from San Francisco to New York, the uninitiated can but wonder what the cost of trans portation really Is.

The fact that the people of the United States drank 190.000,000 gallons more of beer last year than In any previous year, and 7,250,000 gallons more of distilled liquors, Indicates that Mr. Fairbanks recommenda tion to buttermilk as the best beverage miy not be an especially strong campaign card. Editorial Confusion. Boston Transcript. Americans will get some Idea of the con fused condition of the Russian mind when they read the prediction of the Novoe Vremya, a conservative newspaper, that we are soon to be whipped by Japan, which will occupy the Philippines, Hawaii and California. Why leave the Island of Guam on our hands? Lionklnar for Trouble. Cincinnati Enquirer. Maybe there won't be so much of a scramble to trace up family trees since John D. Long said something about the character of some of the Pilgrim fathers. Tho former secretary of the navy is not much given to talking, but when he doos open his mouth he usually utters some thing that makes people sit up and take notice. Pitchforked Hot Air. Springfield Republican. Senator Tillman, In his stumping of South Carolina, Is becoming unusually lurid even for him. At Anderson laat week he Is re ported as declaring that he did not know what the outcome of the negro question would be, but he did know that "there aro not enough Yankees from Cape Cod to hell to keep us down." Rut then. It is Tillman who Is speaking, and the Yankee will only be amused. Evidence of Ilaalness Stre-nartfc. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. . A strong Illustration of the strength of the general business situation throughout the country la furnished by tho record of commercial mortality for the last month. The business failures for July, 73S, were fewer than for any previous month of July In many years, and In extent of liabilities they Involved less money than In any prev ious July for half a dosen years, excepting 1905. While more business is being done throughout 'the country than ever before, it Is being transacted under better condi tions. Republican prosperity is a factor of vast benefit to the United States. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. St. Louis Is going to raise a bundle of money to "exploit the city's advantages." The Jefferson Indians must be oft on a vacation.

A peculiarity of the president of the de funct Chicago savings bank was his ele vated handshake. The shake he gave the depositors was equally high. With the Thaw case In full bloom and the Sage will contest developing apace, the fall and winter season promise a fine har vest for New York lawyers. John D.
