A comtuTinlrit.on from the editor
of the Weeping Water Herald directs
attention to a condition that deserves
some attention. If the allegations
made by Mr. Olive In his letter are well
founded, the Omaha Drain exchange
directors should take Immediate steps
to correct the abuse complained of.
If not well founded, some assurance
should be given to that effect.
" The establishment of a grain ex
change at Omaha has been accom
plished In the face of the combined
orpdsitlon of practically all the rail
roads entering the city. It was obvi
ously to the Interests of these railroads
not to have a grain market established
here, and since the organization of the
exchange It has been engaged In a con
tinual fight for Jig rights. Privileges
that were discriminatory against
Omaha have been granted rival mar
kets, And many favors that might have
been extended to 'the local exchange
have been dented. That the marker
should have grown as It hss under the
conditions Is the best evidence possible
of Its utility to producer and consumer
alike.
The allegation made by Mr. Olive
that the true market Is In the south
Is also based on a misapprehension of
facts. All the corn does not go. south
sooner or later.' A large part of it is
consumed in Omaha, though not
nearly what' should .be .nor what
eventually will be, but the great
I home Industries that reaulre corn es
a basis for manufacturing are not lo
cated south but east of Nebraska. Mr.
Olive's opinion in the matter indicates
Missouri Pacific bias, and seems rem
iniscent of the well remembered
'midnight tariff" that blocked the
Omaha' yards -and overwhelmed' the
Qould roads with grain shipments
destined for the gulf.
It Is plain that the Omaha Grain
exchange has not yet gotten away
from all danger of Insidious opposition
in Its own territory, lut it seems a
trifle unfortunate that it should be at
tacked as1 near home es Cass county.
The farmers are not invited -to come
to Omaha to trade solely from pa
triotic motives, but because Omaha is
the best market town. Experience
has proven tbls.
CoMNO CAMPAIGN ISSUES.
The Cleveland Press, an independ
ent newspaper that usually closely ad
heres o the facts in discussing pollti-
ical affairs, contains a statement that
is mighty Important if true, freighted
as it Is with possibilities anjd prospects
that will be open to the voters in the
next national campaign, cow but a few
months removed. The Press states
that Colonel Bryan dropped into
Cleveland the other day, was closeted
for several hours with Tom Johnson
and then left the city without seeing
any other democratic or lyceum lead-
era. With ft . direct posltlveness. the
Press, states that . "Mr... Bryan has
picked Tom Johnson as the business
manager of his campaign for the dem
ocratlc nomination for the presidency
in 1908 and for the) chairman of the
committee that will have charge of the"
contest. for election."
The selection of Tom Johnson as
Colonel Bryan's . manager meant,
among other thinss, that there Is no
more need of worry about the issue
that will be presented to the people
in the next national political fight
Johnson will tlx that. Forceful, stub
born and resourceful, he dominates
everything with which he is associated.
He is the author of the plan of com
pelling street railways, immediately
after he has sold them to tenderfeet,
to. put In the 8-cent fares, and he has
announced enough of his general pro
gram Of reform to furnish a very clear
outline of what the next democratic
national platform will be. . When his
borne city started its 8-cent fare' prop
osition on street railways the other
day, Johnson acted as motomeer of
the first car, and had his press agent
give out an Interview In which he
said; "I, am for J -cent fares merely
because It Is a big step, toward what I
really want that Is free, street cars.
I have fought for 8-cent fares because
It Is 2 cents nearer nothing than is
E ccnta." .
Republican party leaders. who have
been deluding themselves with the no
tion that it was going to be a shame
to take the" money in the campaign of
1908 had better begin to sit up and
take notice. The time has not yet
passed in America when an appeal to
the pocket nerve lacks potency. This
free street car business Is many-sided
and amounts to more than the pennies
Involved. It Is an appeal to the dig
nity of labor. The spell binder, under
the Johnson management, will show
how degrading It Is for a conductor to
break people's ribs In an effort to col
lect slot-machine currency. All he
should do Is to stand on the rear plat
form, help women and children off
and on the cars and exchange cigars
anT political opinions wth the male
passengers. But that Is only a hlDt
of the possibilities, and logical results
of the Johnson theory. If free street
cars, why not free passenger, cars and
free Pullmans? If a man may ride
free, why should he pay(for his meals?
If the passenger's time is valuable,
why should he not be paid for travel
ing, with extra pay for overtime, if the
train happens to fall behind schedule?
Then, too. If "the trsveler is to have
these advantages, the stay-at-home
must not be discriminated against.
Why not free groceries, free clothing
and free rent? Johnson will doubt
less let It be understood tliat the free
street car scheme Is Just a temporary
halting place on the road to free every
thing, to a worklees world where it
will be a capital offense to ae aught
for anything. The plan Is an ajjurlns;
one and the republican leaders must.
do something big to offfot it. Undr
the Johnson management of Mr. Bry
an's campaign the O. O. P. wilt have
no walkover In 1908.

Dr. Osier, some railroad companies
and a few corporations have made an
effort to fix an age limit on a man's
period of usefulness; the scriptures
have set a period on the years allotted
to existence, and the governments of
some countries have established an
age at which a person -may retire to
an honorable old age on a pension, but
It has remained for the Carnegie Hero
commission to reverse the precedents
of tne ages by fixing the age limit of
heroism. This commission. It will be
remembered, has charge ot the' man
agement of one of Mr. Carnegie's many
funds, the purpose of which is to rec
ognise and reward, by medals or cold
cash, daring acts or deeds of valor per
formed by persons who forget their
own safety for the benefit of others
who may be In peril. The commission
makes monthly reports and the list of
persons it has rewarded Is a long one,
including firemen, members of life
saving crews and Individuals who have
met emergencies In an heroic manner,
but it has Just decided that children
will hereafteT be barred from the Car
negie hero class.
The commission's finding is based
on a request for tecognltlon of the he
roic qualities of a 5-year-old boy up
in Wisconsin who returned to a burn
ing house the other day, after his par
ents and the firemen had been driven
out. and rescued his baby sister. The
little fellow was burned painfully, but
he saved his sister, and now the Qar
negle Hero commission has decided
that he is not entitled to even a medal
because he is too young to appreciate
the4 nature of his conduct, and that he
acted merely upon impulse and with
out appreciation of his danger.
If the Carnegie commission Is right,
the world has been wrong Blnce the
gray dawn of history in Its estimation
of the essentials of heroism.. Delib
eration has never been considered as
an element in heroic conduct. "Hero
ism feels and never reasons, and there
fore Is always right," says Emerson,
and the record of valorous conduct
supports that definition. Impulse is
the prime motive power In heroic acts,
and Impulse never reckons peril nor.
halts to allow reason to catch up. The
world has grown accustomed to rating
as a hero the man. woman or chld
who responds to the call ot danger
without stopping to think of. the re
sults, and It will be slow to bestow its
medals of appreciation, whatever the
Carnegie Hero commission may do,
upon the hero who, faced by an emer
gency, coolly deliberates upon the mat
ter until he decides upon a course of
action. '
BA CD PREJVptCS A W DOLLA BS.
The Metropolitan Realty company of
New York City, an organization that
makes a business of securing homes
and renting property to negroes, has
met with fair success In that line,
and now proposes to establish a real
innovation by starting a department
store for negroes, which is to be lo
cated on ground already secured . at
the corner ot Eighth avenue and Forty
sixth street in New York. The com
pany proposes to expend about $30,-
000 in remodeling the building and
will then put in a complete depart
ment store stock and make a special
appeal ' for the patronage of the ne
groes of New York City, the promot
ers of the enterprise stating that
there are enough negroes in the! city
to support the venture and make it a
howling success, if they want, to do so.
The enterprise Is novel, in some re
spects, . and the result of the experi
ment will be watched with interest. It
is to be started, however, on the wrong
principle. The promoters of the project
have apparently overlooked the fact
thai the nimble dollar recognizes no
race, and that human. nature is stub
bornly selfish. It buy wnere It can
make the best bargains, and It care3
little or nothing for the color or race
of the party who has the goods for
sale. . In America, too, there has been
a marked change, In the recognition of
race prejudices and affiliations. Some
years ago the average merchant was
as careful about the nationality of his
clerks as he was about the character
of his wares. The German trade, the
Irish trade and the trade of other
catlonalltles was solicited by employ
ment of clerks of those, nationalities,
Just as political parties thought it nec
essary to select certain candidates for
the purpose of appealing to and cap
turing the vote of the nationality rep
resented by considerable numerical
strength In the community. Condi
tions are different today. The mer
chant has learned that good goods and
low prices are stronger than loyalty
or race prejudice, in attracting trade
Cut rates always beat sentiment to the
cashier's desk.
The backers of the nezro depart
n-ent store In New York might take a
lessen from the history of the
world's fight In the retail busi
ness and learn that patrons,
without reference to race or creed,
wear the paths that lead to the store
of lower prices. The negro depart
ment store may succeed, but If it does
it will be because It sells a cheaply
or cheaper than do tne department
stores under management of white
men and treats its customers as well.
If it doe that, it will achlere success
In an unexpected manner by attract
ing white trade.. If the enterprise
succeeds It will be because it is con
ducted as a business proposition and
not bwanao its patronage will be se
cured by an ar-P0,! to race prejudice.
Secretary Taft has suspended the
order of the army general staff provid
ing or the exclusive wear of the
"olive drab" In the army, because he
has discovered that the quartermaster
has a supply of 20.000 blue d re s ar
tillery coats still unused, and the sec
retary says these must be used up be
fore new uniforms are Issued. It
took: a military board four, months,
holding dally sessions, to select the
olive drab uniform, which makes every
wearer of it look like an animated
mustard plaster. Whatever decision
the army staff may eventually reach,
the country will still retain its prefer
ence for the blue In military uniforms:
Chief Donahue announces his de
termination to rid the city of the
"pugilists" who have been lured here
by the local yellow Journals. While
commending this action on the part of
the head of the police force, ltr should
not be forgotten .under what condi
tions these undesirable persons were
brought to the city. It is also well to
bear In mind that Mayor Jim could see
no barm In the exhibitions the chief
has Just put the ban upon.
The people Won the first Tound in
the fight for terminal taxation, but
this only rendered the railroad cohorts
more desperate.. The battle that raged
In the hotel lobbies at Lincoln was the
fiercest that has been kuown In many
years. It. is the last stand of the rail
road satraps in Nebraska. If the peo
ple win this time' they are practically
assured of the rizht to control their
own affairs In the future.
Congressman Bnbcock of Wisconsin,
who was defeated in the last election,'

without a connection with the federal
payroll.
Kansas City has at one time and an
other . moved about everything from
Omaha'except the town site. It is a
harmless and inexpensive way for the
commercial bodies of that town to
amuse themselves, and Omaha does
not mind it in the least.
The passing of the pass also means
the extermination of the railroad
brigade In Nebraska politics. The
marshaling of a host such as that now
assembled at Lincoln will be too ex
pensive a luxury when it cornea to
costing cash.

The New Tork correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger relates an Incident
of Jay Gould's connection with the Vnlon
Pacino railroad aa a contrasting aldellaht
on the methods of the company's present
managers. In the days when the Vnlon
Pacific counted Boston aa the company's
headquarters It Is told that Jay Gould
called one morning upon President Ames
to ask about the large floating debt that
the Vnlon Pacific was said to be carry
ing. The debt. M turned out, waa only
il.OOO.PoO, but even that seemed very large
to the bank In Boston which carried the
loan. Gould aeked what rate of Interest
was being paid, but President Ames was
Inclined to be reticent on that point Un
der persuasion he admitted that the Union
Pacific was paying an average of 14 per
cent on this money. Gould immediately
offered to take up the loan, and President
Ames, who the same day had had trouble
In getting on of the banks to renew a
note of the road for IBO.OOO, accepted the
Gould offer. When Gould fixed the terms
of the bargain President Ames. It Is re
lated, was surprised to have Jay Gould
name 6 por rent as the Interest rate.
From that day on Gould carried the Union
Pacific's floating debt and never asked
more than per cent.
Speaking of the Incident, an official of
the Union Paclflo, who was an officer of
the road in the days when Gould was In
the property, sold:
"Jay Gould was a fairer man than tra
dition makes out. I never knew a man
who knew Gould who agreed with the pub
He's view of the man's charactea."
Collier's tells how taxes are dodged In
New Tork: "On the day before tax day
you own a million dollars' worth of rail
road securities, taxable at $14,700. That dav
you go to Pfaelxer & Co.; sell you railroad
securities and put your million Into tax-
free municipal bonds. Then you make
your affidavit that you have no taxable
property. The next day you ell your muni
cipal bonds and buy back your railway
securities. You can do It .nil In fortv
elrht . hours, and the net saving Is 814,700
leos the Insignificant commissions for the
transaction."
Manhattan's school population has al
most ceased to grow. For more than two
years there has beep a falling off In reg

tendance. Residences are giving way for
business houses or factories. Manhattan
people are migrating to the suburbs In
search of cheaper rents and, larger homes.
Figures of the department of tenements
and buildings show that from 190J, when
separate statistics for the different bor
oughs were first kept, until January 1,
this year, 103,784 new apartments were
built, an Increase of 100 per cent In four
years. During the Same period permits
were Issued for 22,912 Hew dwellings. Ac
cording to the latest Federal census, the
average family in New Tork comprises
4.5 persons. On this basis, new apart
ments have been provided In the last four
years for 872,02$ persons.
A New York man haa Just patented a
device for the encouragement of thrift. It
consists of a toy savings bank' with a clock
attachment. The clock Is set In the faco
of the bank and cannot be wound unless a
dime la dropped In the slot. As winding
causes the dime to fall Into the vault and
the clock will run but twenty-four hours
without rewinding, the contrivance assures
the accumulation of seventy cents a week.
The theory is that the necessity of de
positing a dime every day will lead to Slip
ping In other coins at odd moments and
thus establish a habit of saving.
' The report ot the State Board of Tax
Commissioners sdt forth a singular condi
tion of -afralrs brought about by th:at- !
tempt to assess for taxation the value of
special franchises used by public service
corporations. The special franchise tax
law was passed eight years ago In Gov
ernor, Roosevelt's administration. It taxes
as real estate what are nailed special fran
chises, such as the right to use the public
streets, and rights other than the right
to be a corporation and to do business.
The board reports 1S,900,0W of unpaid
franchise taxea In the cities of the state,
all but half a million of the great sum
having accrued in New York City. The
corporations affected have fought the tax
until Its validity has been upheld by the
courts ot last resort. Still they do not pay
up. 1
By the settlement In the supreme court
Monday of a suit brought agalrfst her by
the New York & New Jersey Railroad com
pany, generally known aa the McAdoo
Tunnel company, Mrs. Mary J. McDonald
has been awarded $6S,000 In a lucky real
estate Investment.
Less than three years ago Mrs. Mo
Donald, who is the mother of Lafe Mc
Donald, an actor, bought a little piece of
property at 120 West Thirty-third street,
generally known among real estate men
aa "The Patch," because of its smallness
and irregular formation, being less than
one-fifth of a city lot. "The Patch" haa
a frontage on West Thirty-third street of
twenty-Ave feet and runs back on one end
twenty-seven feet and on the other only
sixteen feet.
When the McAdoo Tunnel company
wanted to acquire, title to the property
Mrs. McDonald refused to aell, and Ben
jamin F. Felner, on her behalf, opposed
proceedings taken In the supreme court
by the company to condemn her little
patch.
As a result a supreme court -order was
entered appointing commissioners to con
demn and appraise the property.
The (rice of settlement, ttX.OOO. Is said
to be the highest award for land In this
city In a condemnation proceeding, and
gives to Mrs. McDonald a clear profit of
4S,0O0.
"Women know a great deal more about

TELEGRAPH REGlXATIOlf.
Resent Changes In Omaha Excite n
Little Surprise.
San Francisco Chronicle.
An Omaha' paper states that the Inter
state Commerce commission has taken up
the question of leased wires and maintains
that furnishing large companies with spe
clal facilities constitutes a discrimination
against small customers. As a result ol
this position all through wires and only
"pony" wires running Into the main' tele
graph offices In Omaha were leftl It la
difficult to perceive where tho discrimina
tion occurs In such cases. The presumption
Is that the telegraph companies, when wires
are leased, provide the additional facilities
without Interfering with their general busU
ness. and that they do not deny to any
one the privilege' of leasing a wire. Kvl
dently the commission Is proceeding on the
RBBumption that the tolegTaph companies
have no right to make arrangements which
may cheapen telegraphy to those using the
wires on an extended scale, but it la hardly
probable that the courts will sustain such
a position. .

In rose-wreathed bowers I spoke In burn
ing verse
To win her smiles; ,
I sung to her beneath a silver sail,
'Mid moonlit isles. 1
Under her open lattice oft I touched '
The light guitar;
When, throbbing like the heart of night;
arose
The evening star.
I laid the fairest blossoms at her feet;
In vain, alack
I pave her Jewels worthy of a queen;
She aent them back.
She met my mlnstrcley with jests and glhesj
Plie heard ray vows
With cold Indifference, or tha stern reproof

A scarlet beauty -av.
With burnished brans and cushions
