TVS SVCCK8S OF ARBITRATION.
A striking report comes from the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania,
showing the remarkably satisfactory
results of tho system of arbitration of
disputes between the coal operators
and the miners a system in force,
under terms of a mutual agreement,
since the famous coal strike in the
winter of 1902. The Board of Concil
iation, which settled the strike In 1902
and has since been made a permanent
organisation for the adjustment of
differences, has reported that, its
docket is clear, with not a single case
pending before it.
The coal mines of the Pennsylvania
region hare been a source of countless
conflicts between employers and em
ployes, these difficulties culminating in
the strike of 1902, which threatened to
become a national calamity and called
for Intervention by President Roose
velt. Since that time the country has
heard little or nothing of difficulties
between the operators and the work
men. The Board of Conciliation re
ports that it has disposed of 159 cases
since 1902, but one of which was
brought by the miners' union. Of
these complaints, 132 were settled
without the necessity of appealing to
an umpire, and in the twenty-seven
cases appealed twenty-one were de
cided against the complainants. The
operators made thirteen complaints
and the individual miners made 145.
Of the 159 complaints made only
twenty-nine were sustained.
Perhaps much of the easy adjust
ment ot differences has been due to
the fact that work has been plentiful
and wages high, so there has been lit
tle difficulty in averting or adjusting
disputes over the question of wages.
But the net result Is a splendid vic
tory for the principle of voluntary ar
bitration. CAUP FOLLOWfRS' DISCOVERIES.
There is always remarkable Infant
mortality among democratic Issues.
None of them ever lives to be a 4-year-old.
In the opening of every presi
dential campaign the democratic army
finds itself camping on a trodden trail.
In preparing for the coming battle
some party leader usually discovers
a smoldering ember, waves it over his
head, discovers that It shows signs of
fire and immediately begins to shout,-
Hero la an Issue." About the time
enthusiasm begins to spread through
the ranks, some camp follower who
has drifted away from the republican
ranks sizes up the situation, recog
nises the familiar landmarks and
throws cold water on the temporary
enthusiasm by remarking, "That's not
new, boys. Here's where we camped
four years ago."
Colonel Bryan has selected the camp
ing ground tor the democratic army
tn the n3xt campaign. He has been
spying out the ground and has dis
covered smoldering embers and he la
promptly and enthusiastically fanning
them Into a blaze and labelling them
as democratic Issues and battle cries.
Thus far he has found three of them.
They are:
First. The ascertaining- of the value of
all the railroads.
Second. The preventing ot. overcapttAl
liatlon.
Third. The reduction .of rate to a
point where they will yield only a reason
able return upon the real value of the
road.
Through his Commoner, Colonel
Bryan announces the discovery of his
new Issues and declares that until
they are followed and enforced no ben
eflt can come to the people through
efforts toward railway rate regulation
All he asks is that victory be allowed
to perch on the banners of his hosts
and then the Issues he urges will be
enacted into law, practically Initiating
and Inaugurating an industrial and
commercial mlllenlum. He Is certain
tho plan outlined and championed by
him will "meet with the hearty ap
proval of the vast majority of the
American people, democrats and re
publicans alike."
It seems almost a pity to recall to
Colonel Bryan that he baa stumbled
upon the relics ot ft republican camp-fire.-
His three Issues are republican
measures, one of which and tho most
Important has already been enacted
Into law and the other two have be
come fixed republican policies, certain
of final and successful embodiment
int law before tfce next little be -
tween the parties. "The reduction of leather who had Incurred his dlspleas
rates to a point where they will yield ( ure hy refusing to play in with his po-
only a reasonable return upon the real
value of the road" Is a part ot the
federal rate law. "The ascertaining
of the value of all the railroads" and
"the prevention ot overcapltallratlon"
have both been announced as a part
of President Roosevelt's program for
further railway legislation, and un
doubtedly will be enacted Into law by
the coming congress. These proposi
tions, as Colonel Bryan asserts, "meet
with the hearty approval of the vast
majority of the American people, dem
ocrats and republicans alike," but-they
will go on the statute book as repub
lican measures.
a rnornET or dixmster.
The nation Is on the down grade,
with economic and ethical bankruptcy
In sight and nothing can be done to
prevent the catastrophe unless ear is
given to and action taken upon the
warnings Issued by Dr. Charles J.
Bushnell, a fearsome prophet, who, for
some reason, Is compelled to spend the
heated term in Washington. Dr. Bush
nell is a graduate of Heidelberg, a
sociologist, conductor of a "model pub
lic playground," and bashfully con
cedes, without much provocation, that
be is one of the greatest living author
ities on civic matters. The doctor has
been delving into statistics and Is
simply shuddering over the horrors
of his discoveries. He declares that
America has "4,000,000 paupers and
10,000,000 more on the ragged edge
of pauperism." He has also discovered
that tho annual cost of crime and pau
perism in the United States Is $6,000,
000,000, and that the annual increase
in national wealth is but $5, 000,000,
000. In other words, we are heading
toward national bankruptcy at the rate
of a billion dollars a year, all because
of our crimes and our poverty.
The really distressing feature of
these statistics is that some, possibly
many, enthusiastic but misguided per
sons may read them and accept them
as true. ' The country has too much
pauperism and too much crime, but
nothing like so much in proportion to
our population as have other coun
tries. The record showa, too, that, ac
cording to population, the percentage
of crime and pauperism In this coun
try Is constantly decreasing. Advance
ment made in medical Bctence is doing
wonders In the care of the poor. The
safeguarding of children from early
contamination that forbids good citi
zenship has become a feature of hon
est and effective work in every great
city, and education Is uplifting Amer
ican citizens above those of every other
nation on earth. Dr. Bushnell's alleged
statistics are worse than worthless, be
cause they are untrue, misleading and
may work damage. . Statistics should
be kept out of Dr. BushneH'a reach.
A A'ORTK AND SOUTH TBOR O UQIJ FARC
Every important Improvement tor
the upbuilding of a growing city is
bound to meet with more or less oppo
sition. This Is again being exem
plified with respect to Omaha in -the
matter of the opening of Twenty
fourth street as a north and south
thoroughfare.
It is perfectly natural that those
whose Immediate and personal Inter
ests are apparently sacrificed should
enter objection and declare their pref
erence to be let alone. But the open
ing of this street has long been recog
nized as Imperatively necessary for
the future growth of the city, al
though it has been deferred from
time to time for one reason and an
other. It might be deferred again,
but that would not be a final settle
ment, because It would be brought
back again In a few years at most,
when conditions might make it still
more costly and expensive.
The founders of Omaha laid out the
townslte with a view to its expansion
to the nortji, fully convinced that
would be the direction population
movement would take. Quite con
trary to their expectations, the prin
cipal growth of Omaha has been di
rectly west and Twenty-fourth street,
which was originally the west boun
dary of the city, is now only a stone's
throw from "the business center. It
has, moreover, become the natural di
rect route between South Omaha and
North Omaha and although it may be
many years before it becomes a busi
ness street, if at all, opening it as a
thoroughfare will bring immediate
benefits and economies in street traf
fic that would more than counterbal
ance the outlay Involved.
Those who object to this proposed
Improvement realize what the Omaha
of the future U to be still less than
did the pioneers realize the Omaha
of today.
Our old friend Clarence H. Venner
is seeking new notoriety and money
balm for lacerated feelings by appeal
ing to the courts to compel "Jim" Hill
to turn over about $10,000,000 of al
leged profits pocketed on the deal In
Burlington stock at the expense ot the
Great Northern. Thjs Is the sane
Venner who has figured In several sim
ilar proceedings heretofore, including
one to extract a million dollars, more
or less, from the Omaha Water com
pany when It reorganized aftea the re
ceivership. Vernier's suits at law are
always projected with pyrotechnics,
but he is usually ready to listen to
offers to settle.
Gallantry Is about aa foreign to the

Another Omaha policeman has lost
his star for too frequent Indulgence In
"the cup that cheers." A member of
the police force ought to realize that
as a law officer he is expected to Bet
a good example by his own conduct for
the conduct of other people. An In
toxicated policeman Is a positive men
ace Instead of a protection to the com
munity. John N. Baldwin's boast that the
railroads will begin to fight with all
possible dispatch fully explains the
proceedings which they are taking be
fore, the State Board of Equalization.
The railroad lawyers are going on the
theory that if they fight everything
they may win something.
That flve-dollar filing fee for candi
dates who want their names put on
the official primary ballot may hold
down the number of entries as com
pared with last year, when no filing
fee was exacted, but it Is not likely to
tar anyone who knows the value of
free advertising.
Colonel Bryan's announcement that
he will hold in abeyance his advocacy
of government ownership ot railroads
is said to be loudly applauded by dem
ocratic leaders everywhere. Also
softly applauded by Harrlman, Hill,
Gould and all the other railway mag
nates. " The New York legislature has
passed a law prohibiting any candidate
for governor of that state from spend
ing more than $10,000 for his polit
ical campaign. That looks like a
piece of class legislation, aimed di
rectly at William Randolph Hearst.
With the Japanese war and the tele
graph Btrike ended, and the trial at

Philadelphia Press.
They are having a dispute In Iowa as
to whether member of the legislature
In voting for a United States senator shall
be guided by the primary vote in their
severul districts or by the vote In the state
at large. It Is evident there U going to be
a warm contest between Benator Allison,
who lu a candidate for re-election, and
Governor Cummins, who wants the place,
and It may be that the determination of the
cuestlon raided will have "me Influence
upon the result, the friend of Governor
Cummins generally taking the ground that
the vote of the whole stnte should control
the legislature. The primary law iUelf
does not mako It clear, and It says merely
that "the vote U!on candidates for the
office of senator In the coiiRrrss of he
t'nlted Etates hall be for the sole pur
pose of ascertalntn j the seotlnxnt of the
voters In the respective parties." In all

The president will probably send a spe
cial message to congress early in the ses
sion approving of a general bill which will
provide for an Increase In service pay, both
of the commissioned personnel and the en
listed force. It Is altogether too early to
predict the character of the general meas
ure. The War department will prepare a
bill which relate to the military establish
ment and which, If the law were properly
adjusted, would apply equally well to the
navy, marine corps and revenue cutter
service. But It so happen that there are
officers In the navy who are not on army
pay and this may require a special provi
sion in their behalf If they are to receive
an Increase. It seems also there will have
to be a special provision for the enlisted
force of the naval hospital corps, the pay
of which Is established by law Instead of
being the subject of executive order, as In
the case of the rest of the enlisted force of
the navy. It 1 expected that the presiden
tial document recommending the Increase
of service pay will have due Influence at
the capitol. In addition to which there will
be an effort made on the part of the repre
sentative of the War and Navy depart
ments to promote this worthy cause among
the representative and senatorB who will
have to do with the committee delibera
tions of the project.
P1GHT OX CATALOGUE HOUSES.
Spirited Contest Between Large and
Small Dealer.
New York Evening Post.
A "trade battle" Is being waged In the
west between the small merchant and the
large "catalogue houses." The former com
plain that they are being driven to tlit
wall. In defense, they have formed the
Home Trade League of America. It alniB
to forc the wholesale dealer, manufac
turer nd Jobber to give local merchants
the same rate as the mail-order concerns.
But the home trader got themselves Into
serious trouble by conspiring to make a
run on the large houses for catalogues.
Theee, being worth fl each, exclusive of
postage, were applied for by thousands of
trader all over tho west, thua putting a
large cost upon the big concern. The Ut
ter have now taken action In a Minnesota
court against the email trader for using
the mails n furtherance of a mischievous
conspiracy. Thee "wars" are constantly
being declared In the world of trade. There
keems to be an Idea deep-seated In many
minds that people should be guided In buy
ing and selling by eentinient, whereas It is
certain that the purchaser will go to the
cheapest and best market, and th seller
will demand the highest price that he can
tut.

Remlnlaeent Wrllf-t p of ..Oiimha's
Mayor on Ilia Travels.
Denver Field and Farm.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow,
and Jamea C. Dahlman 1 one of them. He
went Into the live stock commission busi
ness In Omaha a few years ago. He looked
the ground over and decided It was timo
the city had a democratic mayor. They
had had none for seventeen years, nnl
Dahlman started out to break the spell.
He announced himself as a candidate. Tho
old-timers said: "Well, he's got nerve'. Only
lived here a few years and wants to be
mayor! Nothing In It, gentlemen; posi
tively nothing In It." But there was
something In It, for ho was nominated by
the democrats. The opposition put up a
most respectable and high-minded person
who used a glove when shaking hands
with the votrra. "Cowboy!" screamed the
opposition. "Cowboy! Ta-a-ah, nothing
but a cowboy!" "Fine," said Dahlman.
"Cowboy la good enough for me. I'll put
my chips on that."
A night or two after the cowboy re
proach began to circulate Dahlman went to
a meeting and made a speech.
"They've been out west looking up my
record," he said, "and they And I have
been a cowboy. You bet I was a cowboy,
and I want to say here that I was a good
cowboy. No steer ever came down the
pike that was too big or too swift or too
ugly for me to rope and tie. No horse
ever came out of the corral that I couldn't
ride until ha was worn to a frazzle. No
broncho could buck me off, and no bron
cho can yet. And I want to say to you
people of Omaha that I am still a cowboy,
and it any of your grafters or crooks
come to me when I'm mayor for I am
going to be mayor I'll rope and hog tie
'em and brand 'em quicker than I ever
roped and tied a ateer, and that's going
some."
Whereupon there were loud cries, and
the opposition took a new tack. "He
played poker," they said. "You bet I
played poKer," answered Dahlman, "and
I play poker now, and If there 1 any man
In thl audience who ever sat tn with me
and didn't know he had been In a poker
game after he got through I want him to
stand up o I can ae the color of hi
hair." Mora loud cries and tumult and
miscellaneous noise. Meantime Dahlman
had organised hi cowboy qnartet, four
young fellow who could sing, dressed them
In cowboy rig, chaps and all, with bis pis
tol and broncho, and the cowboy quortet
permeated Omaha, singing and firing pistols
at every Dahlman meeting and bringing out
great crowd. It looked like a weep for
Dahlman. The opposition wa nervous.
"He couldn't write a veto message gram
matically or mak a grammatical speech If
he was elected," they said.
"Now, here" replied Dahlman. "I was
born out In a frontier town and there were
even of u In the family. There wa a
sod schoolhouse a few mile away, and
we didn't ge much schooling, because we
had to work pretty hard to help out our
daddy and support the family. I'll admit
I ain't very strong on grammar, but I've
got horse sense. I suppose I can hire a
man to write my veto messages for me
and my speechea and fix them up nice and
grammatical I suppose I can do that and
It won't cost me much but I want to tell
you folks I'm not going to do It. When-
