The democrats In tl, council seem to have taken special to delay initiating the initiative u..ill too late to get a referendum on It. That widely advertised contest be tween E. H.

In the Interests of millionaires who want to make sure their wills are not contested, the contents of that remark able note in the . W'elghtman case should be made public. Judging by the denunciation of Board of Trade rules by Chicago grain dealers, there are still a few men In the pit who want to see the grain as well as watch the ticker. If Prince Bismarck also left bis memoirs to be published, they will probably cause the kaiser more trou ble than the rather colorless recollec tions of Von Hobenlohe.

' The public has lately gained much ! Information of the manner In which I the corporation laws of th single state of New Jeraoy facilitate the nulllfl- ration and evasion of the efforts of j other mates to remedy trust and coni ; bication evils but the Standard Oil i trial in Ohio has incidentally brought out for the first time the fact that j the corporation laws of foreign coun tries ere used for the same purpose. The Standard Oil trust, it appears, maintains In London a phantom cor poration, precisely as the Sugar, the Tobacco, the Hearst Newspaper trusts and innumerable others are organised In New Jersey, to escape the essen tial duties and responsibilities which they owe to the public. It is In short becoming plainer every day that through the lack of a competent au thority pervading and paramount to the several states an elaborate system of legal legerdemain has been devel oped or evading effective state con trol of trade conspiracies and monop olies. This Is precisely the point which President Roosevelt In his recent Har rlsburg address throws into bold relief to emphasize the necessity of remedy by national authority. The fact that the incorporation laws of foreign na tions are used by our trade conspira cies lo paralyse state restraints only magnifies his admonition. Obviously If his view that national jurisdiction Is coextensive with the need and ex tends to the subject matter of inter state commerce, as well as to the less important concern of the means of In terstate transportation be correct, the general government could also sum marily deal with foreign corporation abuses of the Standard OH type worked from London. And unless his view Is correct It is equally obvious that for such evils r.o remedy Is In sight. SIRS. JtrVKRSOU DAVIS. The death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis will excite very different sensations from what would have followed if it had occurred a generation ago when the bitterness of the civil war was keen and universal both north and south. The widow of the ex-president of the confederacy had been living in retirement so long that she had passed from the sight and almost from the memory of the general public and to most of those now living the an nouncement of her death seems rather like an allusion to a figure In some long passed historic drama, so far hare we been swept by the current of time and affairs from the epoch of the great rebellion. Mrs. Davis was 3 woman of birth and breeding, of high character, thor oughly southern and devoted to her husband, over whom she possessed extraordinary Influence. It Is not so well known, but It Is a fact, that her Influence In the critical period of his life during the war, when he needed the advice of stronger and better judg ments than his own, often accentuated his faults and foibles with disastrous consequences to the confederate cause. In the sentimental and chivalrlc de votion of the south to Jefferson Davis after the war the people lost sight of his unpopularity in the south during the latter years of the war. The anti Davis feeling was especially strong in Virginia and nearby states. His ob stinacy, his narrowness, his lack of precisely those attributes which made Abraham Lincoln great, his personal prejudices which designing men took advantage of, bad Impaired the con fidence of legions of the ablest south ern men in his ability, although not in bis sincerity in their cause. Mrs. Davis was blamed because there waa reason to believe that many mischievous Influences reached him through her. But she naturally shared In the apotheosis of her hus band in the south when misfortunes and troublous times followed Appo mattox. Her wifely loyalty to the head of the fallen confederacy In his Impris onment, and In the face of a nation's fierce animosity, Is a virtue that can be as deeply appreciated In the north as well as in the south, and may well be now remembered to her credit. TO PAY FOR lyTKRVESTIOS. The fact that the United Statea gov ernment is keeping strict account of expendlturea on account of Interven tlon In Cuba and the prospect that the Cubans may be called on to pay every dollar should Induce sober re flection on tbelr part and stimulate ef fort to set up a government of their own that can be trusted to stand alone There Is abundant evidence that the tevolution was In large part set agoing by ambitious and restless lead era who had in view official loaves and fishes more than patriotism, and who expected to aaddle onto our taxpayers the whole cost not only of their gov-1 eminent, but also of their revolution. the trail of the innumerable Insurgent I hand hplnr thfelrlv anwn with nnnr promises to pay for property com mandeered aa soon as the revolution ary regime might be in control of the government. In no other way, probably, could an effective object lesson be more effect ually taught than by assessing upon the Cubsns themselves the last cent of the expense of restoring order and putting things to rights. They need above all things to have It brought home that plunging a country Into chaos, paralysing industry and endan gering life and property Is not a thing to be entered upon lightly or mer rily. It Is a momentous Issue which tbey should have thought of before letting slip the dogs of war, but aa they did not. It has already cost us over $1,000,000 and may cost us sev- era! million more to ssve them from themselves and to protect our own and other vast foreign Interests, It cannot be too soon or too thor- ought? Impressed upon the Cuban mind that revolutionary danoera must under the Piatt amendment pay the fiddler In short, that It la cheaper as well as safer for them to maintain a i genuine government. 8table govern ment there must be on the Island be yond a peradventure, whether by them selves or by us. After paying thete bills perhaps they may better appre elate the meaning and value of reul government. DEMOCRATIC CLAPTRAP. The democratic city council, aided and abetted by the democratic candi date for congress, has entered Into a game of political claptrap on the eve of election for the purpose of catching the votes of friends of the Initiative and referendum. With a great flourish of trumpets, the council has passed a resolution purporting to submit to the voters of Omaha at the coming general election, the question whether the In itiative and referendum law should or should not be adopted and applied to municipal legislation In this city. The Initiative and referendum law was enacted by the legislature of 1897 and has a clause at the bottom of It by which It is to remain in a state of suspended animation until ratified at the polls, depending by its own pro visions on the expressed wish of the electors of any municipality in which it is proposed to enforce it. One sec tion of this law provides that before the submission of any question arising under it the city clerk "shall cause no tice to be printed in one or more news papers published in such city, and also in the office of the clerk and three or more conspicuous places In such city, at least thirty days prior to such elec tion." It provides further that the clerk "shall cause notice of such ordi nances so referred to be printed in pamphlet form and furnish the same to the voters of such city upon their application or order, such notice pro vided In this section shall designate where euch copies may be obtained." So when the democratic councllmen at the Instigation of the democratic candidate for congress adopted the res olution providing for submission of or dinance No. 6767 "at the general elec tion to be held in November, 1906," and instructed the city clerk "to take such steps as are required by law, to submit such ordinance to a vote at said election," they knew, or ought to have known, that tbey were commanding the impossible upon the city clerk, be cause less than thirty days Intervened before the general election to be held In November, 190. It Is a well-estab lished rule of law that these notices are Jurisdictional, and that It the re quirements for notice are not fulfilled the vote on the ordinance, even though unanimous, would count for nothing. With an election almost at hand at which the democrats hope to land a few of their candidates, no subterfuge to gain votes Is beyond them. It Is not a question whether the people of Omaha favor or oppose the Initiative and referendum, but whether any number of them will allow themselves to be fooled by such palpable horse play. Candidate Shallenberger now de- Clares that we need no new laws to regulate railroads in Nebraska and correct corporate abuses, but only some one to enforce the laws we now have. Most of the laws we now have were on the statute books when the fusionists were In control of the state house, but they were never less vigor ously enforced than then. It the lawa we now have are all that are needed, why Is It the democratic state plat form promises a whole lot of new leg islation? Candidate Shallenberger is treading on dangeroua ground when he begins to advocate letting the stat ute books alone. That is all that the railroads are asking. It turns out that If the Omaha Coal exchange is a trust amenable to prose cution under the law, its operations have been with the sanction and ap proval of Candidate Hltchcock'a World-Herald and former County At torney English, who Is now running tor re-election on the democratic ticket. These worthies undertook to intervene in the Coal exchange three years ago and set up a protectorate over the coal dealers on which the the latter now rely to keep them out of trouble. For a combination of sham trust busters the democrstic candi dates and their local organ are not to be matched. Our honored lasso-throwlng mayor justifies his wholesale pardoning of petty offenders and vicious characters gathered In by the police on the ground of the expense of keeping them In jail. He could use the same excuse to turn free every criminal ever cap tured, regardless of how desperate a piece of outlawry ho might be accused of. Why maintain Jails if it Is cheaper to let the prisoners run at large? In the bright lexicon used by Mayor "Jim" no one Is a criminal unless he kills a man at twenty ' paces. Little offenses like picking pockets, petit lar ceny and assault and battery do not come within his definition of crime. President Hamilton of the American Bankers' association will at least ad mit that even the most sensational newspaper articles could not scare de frauded depositors to death If there were no bank failures. The Navy department is said to have changed front on turbine engines since reports have been ifcelved of the oper ation of the Dreadnaught; but the ship should be seen tn action before being fully approved. Candidate Shallenberger Is trying desperately to answer George hi Shel don, but bo baa taken mighty good care not to answer the charge that when he was running for congress he promised to give up his passes and then rode to Washington rui free transportation and collected rilleage from the government.

THE PACK THAT K.1 1.1.1. . Automobile Speeding- Develop Into a Cemetery Promoter. Cleveland Leader. A prominent Pittsburg millionaire was ordered by his doctor a short time ago to cease automoMllng unless he could be content to limit his speed to a moderate gait. The cause was the condition of his heart. 81nce then similar warnings have been given by physicians In a number of cities. From these circumstances has come Into use the name, "automobile heart." But that name Is likely to cause a mis apprehension. There Is no such thing as the automobile heart. Weak hearts there are and they are possessed by people In all walks of life. The excitement of travel. ing swiftly through the open country In an automobile puta . a strain on thla oro-an. If it la In a normal condition there is little danger. , But If It is weak the risk Is con siderable. The trouble lies In the fact that many men and women, for six days In the week, are tied down to a sedentary' Ufa. On the seventh day they get out Into the country In their automobiles and drive them at high speed. The strain is unusual. Just as it would be upon: a new locomotive en gineer If he ran a fast train once a week. The engineer works..up to the fast runs by slow degrees, and then has them day after day. He feel's no. Ill effects. The strain on the men who drive the automobiles In the big race does not affect them harm fully. They are inured to it. The proper course for the automobilist Is obvious. If he wants fast going he should accustom himself to It gradually and avoid the strain. If his heart Is not In a healthy condition he should confine himself to a moderate speed at all times. PERSONAL NOTES. Tom Watson has resigned from the edi torship of Watson's Magasine, which Is a clear case of Hamlet without the prince. "Bam" Lewis, money lender, was a no torious character in London, but his mil lions go to charity, and will In no part be rejected by reason of taint. Prof. Jose de Gomar of Washington, has been sent to Cuba aa an Interpreter with the .army. He speaka Spanish, French, Italian, English and Arabic with equal fluency. Emperor William' frequently goes about his capital disguised and unattended, to study the problems and condition of his people.

Collier's atnL l slle's practically all the respectable pnpera of the metropolis aie lined up against Hearst. Hearst's three pap' rs conline their political news to that winch favors the owner, excepting burlesque reports of meetings of the op position. This feature of Juuinullxllc partisanship la carried to the extent of ex cluding convention resolutions compli mentary to William J. Bryan. UpposiUuii dailies publish the speeches of both Hughts and Hearts, but the local color is gen erally favorable to Hughes. Several cor respondents of outside papers sketch the situation without purllsuii sptctncles and present features of that remarkable cam paign highly Instructive tu onlookers. One of these impartial observers Is James P. Hornaday, staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News. Mr. Hornaday Is an Indiana editor of ripe experience, discern ment and Judgment. From a series of letters to the News these extracts are taken: "The atrcngth of the independence League (Hearst) movement lies In the (act thut the abuses which it promises to cor rect do exist. The people know this and in their desperation they have turned to Hearst; the politicians know it, and that is what has put them in a flutter of un certainty as to what the result at the polls will be. So it Is not true, as some news papers have attempted to prove, that the Hearst campaign is based althogether on imaginary evils. Whatever may be said of the man, or of hla methods, his campaign Is well grounded, and leaders of publio opinion here ore beglnlng to realize this aa a fact. "Hearst has increased his strength by promising to do certain things If he Is elected and in general they are things the people of the state want done. "He points out that the state railroad commission is paid by the railroads, a p. pointed by the railroads through a gov ernor whom they choos?, serves the rail roads, and "remains passive In the face of deliberate violations of law." He says he will. If elected, run the railroad com mission out of office and the people ap plaud. He will, he says, appoint a com mission that will represent the traveling public and not the railroads. Now, that sounds good to the people of a state who have been helpless at Albany for so many years. Ho furthor promises that he will. If elected, remove one Kllborn, the head of the banking department at Albany, and as a reason he specifies Instances of faith lessness and dishonesty in trust companies, banks and building and loan associations that have gone unrebuked. "This Is not a plea for Hearst, who should be defeated because he Is not the kind of a man to bring about reforms, much as they are needed; these facts are set out simply to show why his campaign Is making headway why the old school politicians and the corporations are fright ened half to death because they fear he may be elected. "Before the campaign Is over the re publicans and those democrats who have been abusing Hearst and his cause, will have to deal In facts. They are beginning to realize that they can not laugh the man and the cause he represents out of court. They may abuse the candidate, but they can not put down the Issues on which he Is running. The great mistake the re publicans made immediately after the con ventions was In assuming that Hearst him self was the Issue they had to meet. In a sense President Roosevelt's pro gram for controlling the corporations is on trial In this campaign. It must figure In the discussions because candidate Hughes Is simply echoing the president's views. Mr. Hughes and the republican organization are ready to go as far as the president would go In dealing with the cor porations, and many leaders of public opinion here believe when the people of the state have a sober second thought they will say that what Is good enough for Roose velt Is good enough for them. The per sonality of Roosevelt Is likely to figure more and more In the campaign ns the election approaches'. Hughes is the presi dent's candidate, and his . defeat would mean that Hearst had. defeated the presi dent. No one doubts thst such a result would give wonderful Impetus to : the radical cure for corporation abuses which Mr. Hearst advocate. Before the cam paign ends speakers will be laying great stress on the Roosevelt Issue Involved in the campslgn. There will be an appeal to stand hy the president by supporting his representstlve, Mr. Hughes. "Tt Is the first campaign In the hlstonr of New York state politics In which the cor poration have had to take a back et. Presumably they prefer Hughes to Hearst, but thev are not welcomed In either ramn not openly and perhaps not secretly even hy the republicans. A standing notice In black-faced type In the newspapers tells them contribution will not he received from them. Their wrong-doings are the subject of discussion at every meeting. "vhe4her republican or Independence league, democrat. At last ttuy realise that what ever the result of this .election they will hrtve to prepare t respond to both state nd federal law for their further regula tion and control. "Those democrats who declared at the Ruffalo convention that they would stump the state for Hughes have, after reflection, changed their minds. William T. Jerome will not make any speeches for the repub lican candidate Undoubtedly he still In tends to vote against Hearst, but he ha dee'ded It would be wise for him to lt:"v out of the campaign. The republicans be lieve the coming of several members of the president's cabinet later In the campaign will help them. "The remarkable thing Hearst and his Independence league are doing their flying In the fares 6f the local bosFm here In flreeter New York, their treatment of Chairman Connors of the democratic com mittee and their breaking away from all political precedents naturally give the can. didate an immense amount of advertising, Perhaps that Is what It Is all done for. At any rate Hearst Is getting hlmeelf talked about In e.vary nook and oorner In the state, and that 'helps some.' "The novel scheme he hus hit on for reaching the people in the more remote part of the state is attracting wide atten tion. The day before he left for up state he talked for two hours Into a phonograph, and as his political speech - waa being "canned" a moving picture machine caught him In the act. "Next week l is Industrious lieutenants will-Invade the country school districts up state with twelve free shows Hearst nnd his campaign speech.

Avoid the alum powders study the label reach 100 persons where Hughes will reach one, unless the republican candidate gets busy In front of a phonograph. Now, who but Hearst would have thought of that method of campaigning. "For once the election mathematicians have taken to the woods. Even the ven erable forecaster on the Brooklyn Ragle, who has a remarkable record for accurate estimates, is bewildered. He said to the News correspondent that he would not go further now than to say that If the demo crats who abandon Hearst outnumber the republicans who change to Hearst, Hughes will be elected. "If one movement simply offsets the other, Hughes will win. But he points out that no one can tell the number of these re spective discontents. The guessing take a wide range and It all takes into account the practical disappearance of party lines. Among Hughes' supporters are men who are inclined to believe mat tne demo cratic movement to him will amount to 30 per cent of the democratio vote and that the republican movement to Hearst will amount to iO per cent of the party's total strength. On the other hand, supporters of Hearst are confident that their candi date will not lose more than 10 per cent of the democratio vote and will receive from W to 30 per cent of the vote that has in the past been republican. So there you are again; and It all comes back to the fact that no one has) more than a guess coming on what the result will be." . Heroism of an Antomanlac. Kansas City Star. It stirs one's blood to read the story of Louis Lieber, a profieaslonal chauffeur, who deliberately went to a horrible death In the Ramapo hills a few days ago rather than be the means of the probabla death of two women. Lieber waa making a rec ord run over the automobile road recently built by E. H. Harrlman.. When round ing a curve at the rate of nearly sixty miles an hour he saw approaching him a short distance away a machine with two women occupants. The road was wide enough for one car and on Lieber side were rocky cliffs. Either he must collide with the women or turn tils machine and plunge against the rocks. There was but a fraction of a second for him to do clde; and Lieber did not hesitate, but ac cepted certain death. Frightfully mangled and bruised he recovered consclousnetts only for a moment and all the words he uttered were: "Are the women safer' He waa made of the right stuff. Real courage Is not the bravery displayed In the hope of reward. It Is the strength to do the thing that seems right no matter what the result may be. rictaresqne and Conrlse. - Philadelphia Ledger.
