Unreasoning, unthinking, irrespon
sible and Ignorant jlngbtsts on both
sides of the Pacific are persistently
attempting to drive the wedge of dis
content between two friendly nations,
the United States and Japan. The
transfer of a squadron of battleships
from the Atlantic to the Pacific has
been seized upon by the yellow jour
nals and professional loose-tongues of
two continents as an excuse for un
licensed claptrap and the manufac
ture of prejudice which they are try
ing to fan into hate with a consequent
rupture of friendly relations between
two peoples, with war as a possibility.
The Admiral Sakamotos of Japan and
the Richmond Pearson Hobsons of
America are strutting around with
chips on their shoulders and their
muirlfcs removed, while the Jingo
press is aiding and abetting their ef
forts by pretending that their inane
utterances are official and reflective
of the sentiment of their countries.
Here is a Hobson utterance, in an ad
dress at Dallas:
War between Japan and the United
States Is Inevitable. Japan la only waiting
for a pretext on which tn make a declara
tion of war. That declaration may come
at any moment. I fear that the action of
the United States government In ordering
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific waters wltl
be taken advantage of by Japan aa a pre
text for precipitating a war with this
Country.
Immediately following the publica
tion of the Hobson tommyrot Admiral
Sakamoto gave an interview to a Tokio
yellow Journal in which he la quoted
as saying:
Concerning the dispatching of sixteen
warships to the Pacific decided on by
President Roosevelt, It Js difficult to tell
whether It Is Intended as a threat or aa a
provocation to fight. Should America be
tnlmlcally dlspoaed Japan, If necessary, Is
ready. It la much doubted if the American
naval service la actuated by patriotic mo
tives. American naval officers and men
are brilliant figures at balls and social
gatherings, but their training tn the use
of ships and guns ha been totally neg
lected. Moreover, It Is comical to expect
that Americans are daring with patriotism.
so that In case of war with Japan It la
very likely that most of the officers wruld
desert their ships to avoid fighting Japan.
Fortunately, common sense is still
factor in International affairs and
the record showa that the United
States and Japan possess liberal shares
of that desirable commodity. Neither
nation is apt to be unduly stirred by
thq exaggerated importance placed on
every foolish utterance. Yet this class
of talk had much to do with forcing
the war with Spain and it should be
discouraged. The press of Europe is
trying tq take a hand in the affair.
Berlin editors are predicting the de
feat of the United States navy tn the
war with Japan, which they consider
Inevitable. 'Paris editors . and mili
tary roller-desk experts think Japan
could win a victory if war is com
menced at once, but would be. whipped
if it waited until the completion of the
Panama canal. European0 diplomats
believe a war would be caused at an
early day, except for the . fact vthat
Japan's debt is too big. And so It
goes, ;
In the meantime the United States
battleships are headed for the Pacific.
In spite of connective explanations,
the American people .will take it for
granted that the transfer was ordered
for good and sufficient reasons, and
will refuse to be stampeded by the
Jingoes, native or foreign.
TWO QVSSTIOKS BT Ml-BHYAtt.
The old-time Yankee custom of an
swering one question by asking two
frequently serves an exoellent purpose,
but Colonel Bryan was a little unfor
tunate when he attempted the - plan
the other day. In the course of one
of his lectures he was asked it he
thought the republican party had lost
or was losing power, and the demo
cratic party was gaining. Colonel
Bryan, who has a reputation for al
ways keeping a fine stock of liberal
retorts, promptly answered the ques
tion by asking:
When has a party In power lost In popu
larity ao rapidly aa th republican party
haT And when ha a party out of power
Increased It strength more rapidly than
th democratic party hast
Contrary to vlewa which Colouel
Bryan may hold on the subject, the
test of party popularity usually ac
cepted la the success of the party at
the polls. By that test the records
of elections in the last twenty-five
years furnish complete and convincing
answers to both of Colonel Bryan's
questions.
The democratic party, apparently
annihilated In 1872, elected 168 mem
bers of the house to the republicans'
107, and held the control by substan
tial majorities until 1880, when Pres
ident Garfield went into power with a
republican majority in congress. Two
years later the democrats carried the
house and held it until 1888, when
they lost It by seven votes. They won
again by a big majority in 1890 and
held It until 1894, when Mr. Bryan
and the populists caused an upheaval.
Since then the democrats have lost
steadily. The house, which will meet
in December, will show a roll call of
1(4 democrats out of a total member
ship of S88, leaving the republicans a
majority that is positively unwieldy.
Since the Bryan faction became domi
nant in tho democratic party tie new
republican members of the house of
representatives are unable to find seats
on the republican, side of the chamber
and have been compelled to pre-empt
a row of seats, known as "the Chero
kee strip," in tho section set aside
originally for the democrats. North
of Mason and Dixon's line tho demo
crats are represented In congress by
four members from Illinois,' four from
Indiana, one from Iowa, one from Ne
braska, three from Massachusetts, one
from Minnesota, four from Now Jer
sey, twelve (Tammany) from New
York, five from Ohio, seven from
Pennsylvania and two from Wisconsin.
The election of most of these members
was due chiefly to local conditions In
their respective districts and cannot
be construed in any sense aa indicating
waning popularity of the republican
party, nor of gaining popularity of the
democrats. The democratic party still
holds the "solid south." but there are
signs that Ita grlp on that la none too
strong.
Colonel Bryan would have done bet
ter to answer the question put to him
by a simple "yes" or "no," instead of
asking other questions whose answers
are so easily found In the records, and
when found tend only to his discomfiture.
A MOVHTA1S Or A UOLK HILL.
Alleged discovery has been made
down at Lincoln that the circulation
of petitions in behalf of Judge Sedg
wick's candidacy for re-election Indi
cates a hidden purpose on the part of
the supreme court to knock out the
new prlmai y law and leave the voters
next fall with no nominations except
by petition. On this groundwork a
fine spun theory has been evolved to
the effect that these petitions may be
filed with the secretary of state, plac
ing Chief Justice Sedgwick in nomina
tion and followed up by a supreme
court decision, holding the new pri
mary law to be null and void, thua
giving no chance to anyone else to get
on the ticket for the same office.
The Bee falls to see how the circu
lation of petitions in behalf of Judge
Sedgwick can in any way foreshadow
nullification of the direct primary law.
Quite the contrary, the petitions ap
pear to us to be tangible evidence of
intention on the part of one of the
three supreme Judges to accept the
law and to comply with It. The peti
tions are addressed to the secretary
of state and purport to be signed by
qualified electors affiliating with the
republican party, requesting that the
name of their preferred candidate for
supreme Judge "be placed upon the
official primary ballot of said party
for the primary election to be held on
the 3d day of September, 1907."
It is clearly manifest, that these pe
titions could not be used, except as
stated on their face to secure the in
sertion of a name on the official ballot
to be used in the September primary
election. To place a candidate in
nomination by petition would require
a document with an entirely different
wording and to go on the ticket for
the November election as a petition
candidate without the party designa
tion would in itself assure defeat in
advance.
The alleged discovery would hardly
warrant discussion, except ao far as it
might tend to discredit the coming
primary election... Candidates for
office in Nebraska this yearr state,
Judicial, county and school district
may aa well make up their minds to
place their political fortunes In the
hands of the voters of their respective
parties and to depend on the Septem
ber primary to tell them whether they
are in the running or not
The 'inauguration of 2-cent inter
state fares seems to have done the
business in Wisconsin, where the rail
roads had previously been able to hold
off a 2-cent fare bill by the aid of
friends In the Btate senate. When the
legislative footings are taken it will
be found that New York is about the
only state east of the Mississippi in
which legislatures have aat this year
without yielding a 2-cent fare law.
The alot machine operators want
the courts to protect them In their
profits threatened. by the recent order
of the police board. If the courts will
step In to safeguard the so-called
"merchandise" machines from police
Interference they will next be asked
to safeguard the "money" machine
from police interference. If the law
permits gambling for cigars it must
also permit gambling for money.
The next obstacle in the way of
paving our Omaha streets may be ex
pected from the exhaustion of the in
tersection paving fund. When the
city is limited In the amount of money
that can be spared for lta share of the
paving, the purpose kept In mind
should be to make the Intersection
fund do the greatest possible service
at the points where most needed.

There have been altogether too
many drownings in and about Omaha
already this year, due chiefly to reck
lessness by bathers in tho Missouri
river. Some way should be found to
take more effective precautions
against accidents of this kind If
necessary by making it a misdemeanor
to venture into dangerous stretches of

The express companies set up that
rate reduction would be equivalent to
confiscation of their property and
would mean bankruptcy for them.
Presumably they will also set up that
the dividends declared have nothing
to do with the rates.

Five express companies doing business
In Omaha petitioned Judge W. II. Munger
In th United States circuit court to grant
a temporary restraining order against th
Nebraska State Railway commission and
attorney general of Nebraska to prevent
the commission from enforcing th aot ot
April t, 1907, passed by th Nebraska leg
islature, which relates to a readjustment
of freight and express carrying sat.
Judge Munger refused to grant th order
prayed for, but did Issue an order for hear
ing to show cause why such an Injunction
ahould not be granted, whloh is set for
Saturday morning, July 11
Deputy United States Marshal Bammons
went to Lincoln Thusrday morning to serve

Th petitions ar filed by L. C. Weir,
president of th Adams Express company;
James C. Fargo, president of th American
Express company; Thomas C. Piatt, presi
dent of the United States Express com
pany, and by th Paclfio Express company
and the Weils, Fargo tt Co. Express com
pany, through their attorneys, Ralph "W.
Breckinridge and Charles J. Greene of
Omaha.
Allegation of tho Tetltlona.
Th petition all contain the same gen
eral allegations, which ar In effect that
neither of the express companies or own
ers or operators of any railway in Ne
braska or elsewhere, nor hav they any
power to compel any railway to provide
the necessary facilities for carrying the ex
press companies' business, such facilities
being furnished by contract with th sev- I
eral railway systems. The petitions fur
ther allege that the act of April 8, 1)7,
was passed without giving the express
companies the opportunity to be heard, and
that no apecial contract rates for the trans
portation of cream, milk or poultry had
been granted by the express companies by
the railroads at th time of the passage of
the act, and that under the will be brought
about a reduction of not less than 28 per
cent of th rate in effect January 1, 1907.
Th new act becomes effective July 6,
1907, and thereby requires the express com
panies to charge rates not exceeding 75
per cent of the rates shown on the schedule
of rates fixed by the act, and will oompol
the express companies to comply with the
terms of the statute, thereby involving th
express companies In law suits with ship
pers and subject them to penalties Innumer
able, . and thus effect an Irreparable in-
Jury upon th express companies.
Judge W. H. Munger declined to grant
even a temporary Injunction or restraining
order until the members of the Nebraska
State Railway commission and the attorney
general of the state can 'be present to sub
mit their aide of the case.
STATE! BOARD MAKES ITS RULINU
Sets July 83 aa Date for Hearing on
Express Rate.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 11. (Bpeolal Telegram.)
Th State Railway commission will give a
hearing to th express companies July 28.
after which it"wtll fix express rates. Should
the express companies then refuse to con
form to the law, the commission will have
the right to go Into court to Invok th
penalty clause. The commission Is Just
now undecided whether the law reducing
express rates goea Into effect before August
6, th date alleged by the Wella-Fargo
and Paclfio companies. Section 1 of the
law provides th law goes Into effect thirty
days after Its passage and approval. Th
law waa approved April 6, but th attorney
general haa held It did not carry tho
emergency clause, consequently there la
a question In th minds of the commission
whether these companies ar not given
thirty day the better of the other laws
which went Into effect July 8.
Notwithstanding all express companies
against which aulta wer filed by Attor
ney General Thompson have applied for
permission to transfer the cases to the
federal court, the Paolflo and the Wella
Fargo Express 'companies hav filed an
swers In the supreme court to the petitions
of the attorney general. Both companies
admit they have to obey th Aldrlch bill,
but each claims the law does not go Into
effect until August 5, according to section
2, which provides the oompanlea ahall
charge 75 per cent of ratea In effect Jan
uary 1, "thirty daya after the passage
and approval of said act.". Both companies
claim the law Is not being violated at thla
time and cannot be enforced until Au
gust 6.
The Burlington filed lta answer with the
railway commission to petition of the
Omaha Grain exchange for Joint freight
ratea over the Missouri Pacific and Burling
ton and Northwestern to Omaha from
Missouri Paclfio territory. The answer
merely admits that no Joint rates are In
effect, but offers no excuse for the present
state of affairs.
In answer to th petition of th Marshall
Oil company for a lower rate on oil, the
Burlington filed with the railway com
mission this morning a statement that Its
ratea ar not high and that It Is not re
sponsible If other eompanles use tank lines
and made more money by using that
method of distribution.

Ripple on the Current of Life In th
Metropolis.
The reputation scoffing history awards
the army of Flanders combined with the
distinctive talent seafaring people ar
credited with cannot hold a flickering
candle to the ability of New Yorkers tn
th swearing line. People so gifted rarely
secure any other reward than the soot hint
effect of th explosion and th awe which
picturesque, burning vocalisation Instills on
Innocent spectators. New Yorkers secure
these Incidental benefits, and distances all
competitors in concrete results. To these
pestmastera the talent of awearlng la pro
fltable. "Swearing pays?" the moralist may
ask. Precisely. For example: The as
sessment of personal property returned for
taxation this year amounted to $3.130, ttAOOO.
When New Yorkers got through swearing
off and swearing at It the billions shrunk
and shriveled down to toM.861,300. That Is
to say four-fifths of the original figures
were burned up as artistically aa though
the Ananias club bossed th Job. -
John Beck of Pittsburg, a second-cabin
passenger from La Provence, brought over
some $20 worth of cloth, trinkets,
clgarholdera, and other like articles
glfta for the "folk at home." He care
fully concealed his presents under a false
bottom In his trunk. Inspector Schenck,
in making the examination, discovered the
false bottom. He emptied the trunk, and,
having no tools handy, he used a cork
screw to draw out the falsa bottom.
The Plttaburger was visibly excited over
tho discovery and asked to be allowed to
keep the trinkets. This was refused and
they were aelsed by the cuBtoms.
"What a mixture of foolishness and Ig
norance," was the comment of a deputy
surveyor. "He la allowed to bring tn $100
worth of gooda by law, and had he
simply put the things In the tray of his
trunk there would have been no duty to
pay, As It Is he loses them."
Building records show that Brooklyn la
growing fastor than any other borough of
the greater city. The' permlta Issued in
June were for $10,000,000 worth of build
ings, aome $500,000 more than the April
record. Tho April record revealed a re
markable Increase over that for the same
month last year; the figures for June are
$3,000,000 In excess of those for June, 1906,
and the total of building for the year la
expected t exceed $100,000,000. Compara
tively few very costly buildings, tike the
great office and hotel structures In Man
hattan, are being built on the other side of
the river. The Increase comes from the
rush to erect apartment and two-family
houses In the suburban wards.
At tha close of business Tuesday the de
posits In the Bowery Savings bank reached
a total of $100,000,000, a showing unprece
dented In the history of savings banks and
one never before attained by any savings
Institution In the world. This amount waa
still further augmented by Wednesday
business, that being the last day upon
which deposits can be made to receive in
terest from July 1. Mr. Wood, the presi
dent, stated that' the enormous Increase In
deposits In savings banks Indicated the con
tinuance of the great national prosperity,
the subsidence of the suburban real estate
speculative! fever and a return to normal
conditions for security of their earnings on
the part of the masses.
"Crowded as New York aeema to be there
la still a demand for tenants," said the
real estate man, quoted by the Sun. "In
some parts of town the owners of new
apartment houses are offering strong In
ducements to would-be tenants. To offer
a month's occupancy free la an old story,
but many landlords are now offering two
months free.
"A new plan Is to offer a month free to
a tenant on entering and th fourth or the
sixth, or In rare Instances the twelfth
month also free.
"That la not a bad Idea, aa It Insures
permanent tenants, which alwaya give bet
ter character to a building than the kind
who are frequently on the move."
