The decision of President Harr1ro.au

to ask the stockholders of the road at

In Its bearing upon the present condi

railway system. The fund to be raised
by the new Issue will, It Is understood,
be used for improving the equipment
of ihe road and providing additional

to the Union Pacific lines.
The financial report made to the

He 'estimates that after the payment

Such a showing assures a speedy die-,

raan'B profitable management of the
Union Pacific property.
The report and Mr. Harrlman's
roseate prediction of the future of the
Union Pacific are Jn marked contrast
with the recent assertion oi certain
representatives of the railway Interests
that the "hostile legislation" in Ne
braska and other western states would
act as a bar to all railway extension
and Improvements. Everything indi
cates that the railroads are as pros
perous as other lines of business and
industry in the wet arid throughout
the country and that any policy of re

Impossible In view of the Increasing
demands of shippers and patrons for
additional transportation facilities.
TBS OUVERyMEltT l)f WASHlSQTOy.
A report to the president by James
B. Reynolds, who has been investigat
ing conditions of government In the
District of Columbia, recommends
sweeping changes in the present form
of control of affairs of the national
capital.
He suggests (1) the creation of a
governor of the district! (2) the crea
tion of seven departments to be under
the charge of commissioners; (8) a
municipal council, composed of the
even commissioners, which shall pass
ordinances regulating the affairs of
the district; and (4) a committee of
100 to represent all general civio in
terests. The government of the District of
Columbia has, been a vexed problem
for many years,' and the Reynolds
proposition will undoubtedly appeal to
the residents of the city who are
eamriv anxious for a change from the
Vresent form. Under the existing ar
rangement, congress is the town coun
cil of the city, and every measure,
from cleaning the snow from the
streets to the opening of boulevards
and construction of public Improve
ments, has to be acted upon by both
houses of congress.- The system Is
unwieldy, cumbersome and never sat
isfactory, owing largely to the fact that
few of the 474 members of congress
know or care anything about the
specific needs of the city. The three
commissioners, . who . ndw nominally
control the city's affairs, have divided
and conflicting authority and are un
able, by the very dependence upon
congressional whim,' to . plan any sys
tematic work or development of the
material progress of the city.
While the Reynolds plan may not be
the most desirable that could be of
fered, It will be welcomed by Wash
ington people as a promise of relief
from conditions now wholly unsatisfac
tory and in some respects almost "In
tolerable.
HKTIBtMKT OT ftHATOB PIATT.
Official announcement of Thomas
Collier Piatt that he will not seek re
election to the United States senate Is
a signal for the curtain on one of the
most remarkable careers In the his
tory of American politics. It will mean
the exit from the senate of the premier
of machine politics, a "boss" in the
old sense of the term, with no rival
In the art of political manipulation
for personal preferment since Matthew
Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania. His
retirement will leave Aldrlch and
Elklr.s as the only members of the sen
ate who measure up to the definition
of "boss" and who still retain undis
puted domination of the party ma
chines In their own states.
No intimation of a surrender of his
hold on the party organization Is
voiced In Senator Piatt's announce
ment 111 health, from whtch ho has
suffered for more than a half century,
Is sufficient excuse tor bis decision, but
back of that Is the fact, which the wily
old politician must realize, that his
political methods are no longer In
keeping with the spirit of the times.
Clalmtug the credit for having made
Theodore Roosevelt governor of New
York and afterward vice president,
Senator Piatt admits that "It was
purely politics I never was a 'Roose
velt man,' as the saying goes." The
historian will be certain to discover
that Senator Piatt created a political
Frankenstein when he forced Roose
velt into the gubernatorial chair at
Albany and then, when he discovered
that Roosevelt would not execute his
dictation, sought to shelve him by mak
ing him tips president From the
day Mr. Roosevelt became president,
the contest between Roosevelt policies
and Piatt policies hns b?en keen and
conslant, until the former have tri
umphed. Senator Tlatt's days of use
fulness In the senate are over. He
can no longer be of value to the spe
cial Interests he has served or to the
politicians who have profited by the
methods ho hns championed and pur
sued. Although prominent In party councils
for nearly fifty years, no legislation
of Importance bears Senator Piatt's Im
press. His entire effort In the senate
has apparently been to perfect plans
for the control of federal patronage
upon which his political supremacy
rested. Ferhaps the one exception to
this has been his constant and effective
work In preventing parcels post legisla
tion and other measures threatening to
Interfere with the profits of the'express
companies which were the source of his
large private fortune. Even In that he
was not completely successful, because
the triumph of the Roosevelt policy
has placed the express business In the
common carrier class and made It sub
ject to regulation and control by the
federal government. The country at
large has gained nothing by Senatpr
Piatt's official career and will not be
loser by his retirement.
A CltASCK FOR THE COMMISSION-
For some reason or other not visible
on the surface the railroads operating
In Nebraska seem to bo indisposed to
obey that part of the anti-pass law
which requires them to report the
names of all pa-ss holders supplied by
them each month. Instead of sending
in the ltots as contemplated by the
lkw-makers the roads have sent a few
names together with' the blanket ex
planation that all the other passes out
side have been issued to employes, In
exchange with other. Vallroada, or un
der special contract.
This Is not in any way substantial
compliance with the spirit and object
of the antl-paas law. The purpose of
enacting that measure was twofold:
First, to stop the bribery of public offi
cials, the corruption of Juries, the
packing of conventions, the subsidizing
of lawyers, bankers, favored shippers,
etc., by the use of railroad passes; and,
second, to abolish that form of discrim
ination which 'made one passenger pay
excessive fare In order to enable the
railroads to carry a fellow passenger
fiee. It was to make sure that these
abuses would be stopped that the pro
vision was inserted requiring the rail
roads to list publicly the names of all
beneficiaries of free transportation to
which no objection could be entered If
legitimate.
The failure of the railroads to com
ply with the law may be taken to mean
that they wish to test the construction
of the law on the theory that It does
not cover the Issue of transportation to
employes and under special contract
If that Is the position the railroads
want to take there is Just one thing
for the railroad commission to do. - It
has ample power to require from the
roads full Information on all points
affecting the conduct of their business
In Nebraska, and an order Bhould be
made at once requiring every road do
ing business In Nebraska to furnish
full lists of transportation Issued to all
the classes which claim exemption
from the report required by the anti
pass law.
Let the commission call for the lists
of employes' passes, exchange passes
end special contract passes and make
sure that no free passes have been
Issued under these classifications In
evasion of the anti-pass law. If the
railroads do not want to report fully
under the statute they should be made
to report fully by a special order of
the commission.
If the requirement of the anti-pass
law for a filing of the names of pass
holders with the State Railroad com
mission were retroactive the railroads
would be expected to object. If, how
ever, they are observing the anti-pass
law, as they Insist they are. why should
they object to making public the names
of present pass holders? Refusal to
post the names cannot fall to create
the impression that the roads are is
suing passes which they have no right
to give.
Our do-nothing Water board has
suddenly become very Bollcltlous to in
sure an ample water supply to South
Omaha. A little while ago It wanted
to cut South Omaha off altogether by
confining the purchase appraisement
to that part of the plant needed ex
clusively for Omaha consumption. The
board's excuse, of course, is that It has
been merely following directions given
by the horae-play lawyers who turn
somersaults whenever cornered.
The average capitalization per mile
of railroads main lines, branch lines
and feeders for the United States Is
given at $51,467. figured on a basis
excluding stocks and bonds of one
railroad held by another. It is a safe
proposition that the railroad mileage
in Nebraska is not capitalized below
the average.
The bishop of Nebraska, who resides
in New York, has been appointed to
take supervision of the American Epis
copal churches In Europe. This, how
ever, will not interfere with his super
vision of the Episcopal churches of
Nebraska through a long-distance tele
scope. The city authorities are said to be
busy on an ordinance to enforce the
ruin of the road oa drivers of vehicles
jon our streets. Thin will be good as
far as It gofs, but It should be supple
mented by the enforcement of a rule
that will prevent sieve-bottomed
wagons hauling refuse, dirt, cinders,
band and. similar materials fro.n
spreading their contents all over the
pavements.

It is reported on questionable au
thority that President Roosevelt Is
backing Governor Hughes for the re
publican presidential nomination. On
equally good authority It is stated that
the president Is forming a combina
tion to wrest the control of New York
politics from Governor Hughes. The
man who wants political gossip can
always find the kind he wants to read.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good. The collapse of a warehouse In
the wholesale district promises to
make way for a new eight-story build
ing for Omaha. Notwithstanding all
this, the lesson of the disaster, calling
for rigid inspection that will prevent
oVier building collapses, Bhould not be
lost
South Omaha Is also contributing
freely to the population of the Douglas
county Jail. Perhaps that Inspection
committee will furnish pretext for
Mayor Hoctor of South Omaha to fol
low the example of Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha by going Into the wholesale
pardon business.
Budapest has a famine In domestic

Omaha Is already a principal sheep
market of the country. Although the
wool does not necessarily go with the
sheep, there is no good reason why in
time Omaha should not become a
recognized wool market as well.

advocates of reetrlcted armament have
presented Irrefutable arguments In favor
of calling a halt In the rivalry of -world
powers In naval and military expansion
But aa yet not one of tha dominant pow
ers has given the proposition cordial, ef

expressed by President Roosevelt. Equally
significant are manlfeatatlona of opposition

Federation of Labor. The clerical party
has a deep, rankling grievance. Opposition
to the proposed income tax Is growing In
Influential quarters and will manifest It
self emphatically when the oppoHtfcnlty

radical and moderate political circles and
their attacks on the ministry are unusu

Into which the French Chamber of Depu

"that for a premier to keep his place a
twelvemonth Is an arrobatlo feat and to
hold It two years a sort of miracle. Under
the circumstances the Upsetting of minis

Clemenceau has long proved himself an

The moving cause of the disorders re

Under the caption of "The Sword In India"
the Englishman writes: "Roughly speak
ing, the government spends IS out of every
100 rupees of Its revenue on military and
defensive operations. This is undoubtedly
a very large sum to pay for insurance
against disaster." A large sum, Indeed.
considering that mllllary-rlrtden Ruisia and
Germany spend only 15 per cent of their

Kalian aalt Is heavily taxed, not because
it Is a luxury, but because It Is a necessity,
and the poor suffer greatly. Sugar Is taxed
also, even In the frivolous form of white
ornaments on the top of a cake. So a
traveller from Alexandria found lately, on
arriving In Venice, bringing with him a
decorated cake. Having no taste for cake,
the traveller sailed into the port of Venice
with his Egyptian sugar uneaten and for
gotten. Down upon the cake came tha
Italian officials, demanding duty. The
Englishman protested that cake waa not
contraband, whereupon the white orna
ments were denounced. It was argued, be
sides, that the substance of the pastry It
self was probably sweetened. The traveller.
who did not like paying duty, proposed
to heave the whole thing overboard into the
lagoon. Not ao; his arm was grasped; tha

THR TALK OF A WAIST.
One day my teacher -c-. vnct
Twas old and brown and faded.
She had her I.e.! un all nki -
Hhe looked forlorn and jnded.
And cross' sh".-k Allnna Urown.
And scolded nil the hoys;
I think s'le almost hid a fit
We all made so much noise.
She kept a doien after school.
And each one snt a-weenlng;
And In thnt faded brown plaid wnlst
Phe st grim vigil keeping.
Her skimpy garb of fashion old
.Seemed fraught with evil omen;
And thus we sat and eyed askance
Our teacher cross old woman.
Next day my teacher wore a dress
Of sherny, shiny blue;
Just matched pit eyes like asure skies.
'Twos ao well fitting, too.
An1 with that dress she wore a sml!e
I Ike go!dn sunfhlne bright;
We all ust sat entranced nnd looked.
We cculJn't help doing right.
She made our work so pleasant
Phe smiled et stupid Oraee
And never thought of scolding
When Tommy lost his place;
And when the day waa over, .
And all our work well done.
We smiled good-hye to teacher.
And lovad her, every one.
