There would have been no Japanese
Question, no talk of war between two
friendly nations and no necessity for
apologizing for the conduct of an "un
whlpped mob" if the municipal author
ities at San Franchvo measured up to
the Roanoke, Va., standard. When
the San Francisco hoodlums destroyed
the business places of a number of
Japanese merchants, assaulted Inoffen
sive Japanese and started something
like a reign of terror in that city the
municipal authorities sat supine, Ig
noring the violations of the law, If not
encouraging them, and allowed a street
riot to become an international com
plication. Contrast this with the way they do
things differently in Virginia. When
the 'Frisco-Japanese excitement was
at its height a mob at Roanoke took
advantage of a Quarrel between a citi
zen and the proprietor of a Greek
restaurant, over a 5-cent sandwich,
wrecked the place and then started a
general crusade against the Greeks.
Three restaurants, three shoe shining
parlors and two stores were com
pletely demolished and their proprie
tors beaten. The matter never got to
the authorities at Washington except
through newspaper reports. Mayor
Joel Cutchln took the case in hand to
restore order, and he did it effectively
and promptly. He then caused the ar
rest of the rioters and Induced the city
council to pay damages promptly for
the losses sustained by the Greeks,
who were urged to resume their busi
ness, with promise of complete protec
tion. A special grand Jury Indicted
twenty of the rioters, some of them
rather prominent in city affairs, who
will have to pay the penalty of their
lawlessness. A damper has been put
on the mob Bplrlt and the officials of
Roanoke are making a highly credita
ble showing of their respect for the
law and their determination to see that
its protection shall be extended to
every member of the community.
San Francisco should study the Roa
noke lesson.
LOST TRAllt ORDERS.
Responsibility tor the awful wreck
on the Pere Marquette railway, in
which, by a collision between a freight
and an excursion train, forty persons
were killed and nearly a hundred in
jured, has been fixed on Wilson I.
Rodgers, the engineer of the freight
train, who gave this testimony before
the coroner's Jury:
I knew that the excursion train was
oomlng, but I lost my train orders and
did not know whether I was to meet It on
the road or wait In Plymouth for It.
Engineer Rodgers testified further
that he ran his train at "good speed,"
knowing there was danger ahead. No
more marked confession ot incompe
tency and utter lack of the sense ot re
sponsibility has ever developed in the
history of railroad wrecks.
Yet Rodgers is not solely responsible
for the catastrophe. His conductor
should have had duplicate orders and
thus have been in position to supply
Rodgers with the instructions he had
lost. In that case the conductor would
be equally blameable. If the con
ductor was not supplied with the dupli
cate orders, the managers ot the rail
road company are guilty, with Rod
gers, of criminal negligence. There
can be no adequate punishment for
such offenders, but nothing should be
left undone to ascertain the real facts,
place the responsibility where it be
longs and Impose such penalties as are
possible under the laws.
LOSS Or A FRltXD jy TBS ORlSltT.
The removal of Corea from the diplo
matic map ot the world may be fraught
with more significance to the United
States than appears on the surface.
Nations in times ot trouble need
staunch friends and strong allies, as
well as individuals do, and Corea has
been America's friend in far eastern
affairs. The fact has not been widely
advertised, as Corea has always been
a little lame in press agent work, but
the records of the State department
at Washington furnish lncontestlble
proof that in all dangers that have
beset the United States since the na
tion became a world power, Corea has
been standing ready to assist us
against attempted oppression or un
just dealing at the hands, of other
powers. Article I of a treaty made
between Corea and the United States,
In 1882, reads thus:
There shall b perpetual peace and. friend
ship between the president of the United
States and the king of Corea and th cltl
sens and subjects of their respective gov
ernments. If the other powers deal un
justly or oppressively with either govern
ment, the other will exert their good offi
ce, on being Informed of the case, to
bring about an amicable arrangement, thus
showing their friendly feelings.
Most of the diplomatic dealings be
tween nations, the kind that meets
crises and averts war, is secret in
character, with no way to show, by
official and formal records. Just how
much Corea has done to keep the
United States from being the victim
of oppression by other powers, but we
have our suspicions. It is easy to re
call certain dangers and crises mys
teriously averted. About the time Ad
miral Dewey was making worUl his
tory down at Manila bay, Germany
became a little rambunctious and It
looked for a time as though war
might ensue between the two nations
Happily some secret influence waa at
work and Germany suddenly subsided
and allowed the United States to go
ahead and whip Spain. When the al
lied powers were apparently ready to
oppose by force of arms Uncle Sam's
Insistence that the Monroe doctrine
was strong enough to protect Venes
uela from forelcn Invasion, some hid
den Influence waa brought to bear to
warn the powers of their danger and
another war was averted. Columbia
and most of the South American re
public were prepared, at the time of
the secession of Panama, to march on
New Orleans and devastate America,
but they were held back by some
power not then understood. At Santo
Domingo, at Algeclras, at Constantino
ple, and at nearly every point in which
America has sought to dip into world
politics the hostility of other powers
has been aroused almost to the fighting
point, only to melt away into obse
quiousness, and the reason has never
been made entirely clear.
Americans have been flattering
themselves that the changed attitude
was due to the fear of us by foreign
powers. We are tempted to ascribe
It to Corea'a threat of intervention, in
compliance with the terms of that
treaty which obligated Corea to come
to the aid of the United States in such
emergencies. There is no telling what
will happen to us in foreign countries
now that the Corean king and his
flower-pot-hat followers have been de
prived of their power to stand as
America's next best friend.

It ia up to the mayor and city coun
cil to pare down materially the first
estimates upon which it is proposed
to place the city tax levy tor the year
1903. While the taxpaers realize
that a mistake was made last year in
cutting the city levy below the actual
requirements ot municipal govern
ment, they are nonetheless opposed
to erring JuBt as far In the opposite
direction this time.
The school board has reduced the
school levy from 16 to 14 mills and
the county board is sure to make a
similar showing towards tax reduction.
The estimates submitted to the council
provide for a tax levy to produce
$1,160,000 for city purposes alone,
which would be $276,000 more than
for the present year.
This is Jumping altogether too fast.
The difficulty with these estimates is
that they are not only based on un
precedented liberality to the different
departments, but also neglect to take
into due consideration the revenues
which the city will enjoy from sources
outside of the tax levy. There Is no
good reason why the budget cannot
be revised so as to reduce the amount
necessary to be raised by taxes by at
least $100,000, and this money allowed
to remain in the pockets ot the taxpay
ers instead of being piled Into the city
treasury as a temptation to extrava
gance. The tax rate is an essential factor In
the growth of the city. People figure
on the tax rate before they put their
money into new buildings or enlarge
their Investments here. By holding
the city levy down within reasonable
bounds the mayor ' and council can
make a substantial contribution to the
city's progress.
Members of the State Railway com
mission want to remember that reduc
tion of express charges does not fall
exclusively on the express companies.
The express companies all do business
with the railroads on contracts calling
for payments of a percentage ot their
receipts. Where, for example, the
Adams Express company is paying the
Burlington about 40 per cent of the
money taken in, the reduction of 26
per cent on express rates embodied in
the law passed by the legislature takes
10 per cent out of the railroad's share
and 16 per cent only out ot the express
company's share.
It Is to be noted that the express
companies doing business In Nebraska
have recognized the authority and Jur
isdiction of the State Railway commis
sion by appearing before that body on
citation to show why express rates
should not bo reduced. The express
companies' lawyers must have over
looked a point in falling to rush into
the federal courts for an injunction to
prevent the railway commission from
doing business.
The city council has put its seal ot
approval on the plan to open up
Twenty-fourth street aa an unob
structed thoroughfare. The success
or failure ot the plan will devolve next
upon the taxpayers who are to figure
out what the damages will be and how
they may be reimbursed by special as
sessment back to the benefited prop
erty owners.
Official reports to Washington indi
cate that the proceeds ot the flour sent
from this country to relieve the famine
in China went to the mandarins, while
the starving people got none of the
food unless they had the price. The
Chinese have evidently learned one
lesson of civilization in order to prac
tice the meanest form of graft known
to suffering humanity.
Governor Sheldon has accepted an
invitation to participate in the recep
tion to President. Roosevelt at St.
Louies October 2, which threatens to
interfere with the program to enter
tain the governor at Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben
week. Perhaps If the governor
will try hard he can fill both engage
ments. "Several million people in this
country do not like to live under the
stars and stripes with Mr. Roosevelt
at the head of the government," says
the Charleston News and Courier. The
steamship agencies are still offering
reduced rates to outward bound pas
sengers. According to the democratic World
Herald the lawyers who presented to
the supreme court th J union side of
the case Involving the duplex party
affiliation argued "with insurmounta
ble logic." There was no use, then, in
waiting for the Judges to hand down
their decision.
Secretary Taft proposes to tell what
is the matter with the army. He will
probably explain that the average man
will not enlist to fleht Mores or sweat
In barrack for $13 a month when he
can get $75 a month for running a
donkey engine or $30 a month and
board for farm work.
We are again told that Omaha Is
not visited freely by circuses because
the license fee of $300 exacted to show
here is regarded by them as exorbitant.
Omaha can get along without the cir
cuses a good deal better than the cir
cuses can get along without Omaha.
If Senator Norrls Brown had only
known that he was setting a match to

other double-shotted explosion of the
military expert in the World-Herald
office he probably would not have

Baltimore American.
Th Woman's National Trade Union, rep
resenting 40,000 trade unions throughout
the states, hav undertaken a difficult prob
lem. They have passed resolutions Indicat
ing the matrimonial Intentions of their
members, which, in Itself, Is not a stu
pendous thing, but they propose after oatch.
lug husbands to make these husbands be
have themselves. The resolutions advocate
and encourage matrimony, woman's suf
frage and equity In law, and establish an
endowment for the purpoao of paying pre
miums on matrimony. They also provide
for a court to try any husband who Is
derelict In his duty as a husband, father
and provider, and If his wife is forced to
enter the army of wae-earners It will
be up to him to explain why to this court.
It may be considered that Cupid has In
vaded ilia ranks ot the Trade Union league,
but If he has done so, he Is held strongly
In leash by strong common sense. And
another point might be noted, especially by
those whose Idea of a woman suffragist
la of a strong-minded, man-hating, un
married female of uncertain age here Is a
body ot women advocating woman suf
frage and matrimony also. That they are
a trifle Idealistic la shown by th fact that
they propose to make tb genus husband
a good husband In every sense of th
word; but then It is only by hitching our
wagona to stars that w ever get any w her.
After all, th question will evolve Into a
practical one will th fear of being found
derelict In his duty prove a strong enough
obstacle In th matrimonial Intentions of
the average man to offset the advantages
of tho matrimonial premiums which will be
offered? The Trade I'nlon league is re

HOl'NU ABOUT NEW YORK.
maples oa the (arrest of Life In tho
Metro poll.
A holy man of the Himalayas has settled
In New York for the proclaimed purpoa
of making the people good. Th purpoao
of the missionary excites two oppoalta
emotions. Th self-contained flout (lie Idea
that they are not already perfect. By far
the larger crowd, who appreciate the ex
tent of the Job. loudly mock the pretention
ot the Mahatma. Agamya Guru Parama
hamaa, aa his full name Is written, la an
exponent ot tho Vedanta philosophy. He la
a login who has fully developed himself
by th practice of Yoga which he defines
to be the absolute control of the vibrations
of the mind. This Is th slmpl secret that
solves for him the riddles of th universe,
and the Mahatma has coma to teach It to
tho western world. He would call New
York from the materialism of Its ways to
tho contemplation of things spiritual. Ha
wishes to establish In New York a Parlia
ment of truth, composed of twelve men,
who will disseminate th Vednnta phil
osophy. Ha has already established such
an Institution In London.
Th Mahatma Is $2 years of ago, a high
caste Hindu from an ancient Punjah family,
says the Broadway Magazine. Th Ma
hatma claims the power to perform all
miracles only he does not practice It. He
Is very holy and cannot defile himself by
touching anything so material as money
but his secretary touches It for him.
B. H. Harrlman's nam Is probably only
less familiar to the public than President
Roosevelt's and John D. Rockefeller's, and
during the last six months his face has been
cartooned and alleged portraiture has per
haps appeared more often In the dallies
and periodicals than cither of the others,
but for some strange reason It falls to be-
com photographed on th public retina.
Tt U a anfn riiru that neither President
Roosevelt nor Mr. Rockefeller could ap-
mi, tn the Hat without being universally
recognised, yet Mr. Harrlman Is seldom
known hv the man In the street and some
times not even by th employes of his
system. He was walking on lower uroaa
wv a few days aao and stepped Into the
Bouthern Pacific passenger agency In the
Washington building to use tne teiepnone.
Without saying a word to any one, ne

When Mr. Harrlman left th Instrument

Officers and nassengera of the Red "D"
tine steamer Zulla, Just In from southern
waters, brought to port a good fish story.
Tt waa while the steamer was crossing tne
bar at Toblaso, near Maracalbo, and in a
nnrrow channel that the fish, a huge Mero,
waa encountered. The steamer struck the
fish and, according to a passenger.
"careened to atarboard from the force of
the blow."
rn, a. few minutes CaDtaln Bennett or
the Zulla thought tho pilot had made a
mistake and bumped Into the mud in snoai
water, but Investigation revealed a big
dead fish, the Mero having been killed In
the collision with the steamer. The Mero
Is good to eat, so the prlre was turned
over to the captain of a Venezuelan sloop,
who towed It to san Carlos. The Mero
n...i,r.rl tan.ntT.nli feet In length, four
teen feet In circumference and weighed
about 1,200 pounds.
On his arrival a temporary market was
established and the fish sold at 80 cents.

the slxe of the fish can be obtained when It
ia aM that the whole oonulatlon of Ban
Carlos, 600 all told, dined sumptuously on
Mero that day. According to Director
Bnanxor of the Aauarlum. the Mero Is a
food fish, ealled by the Spaniards Mero de
Lo Alta. It attains a large six ana is
found In southern waters, sometimes off the
coast of Florida.
Almost every corner of a small store In
hia cltv awaits the arrival of the collector
of rare colna, who makes his appearance
at these places about once a year, in ine
meantime, the proprietor, and even the
salesmen, have carefully scrutinised the
money taken for payment of purchases,
and have laid aside the pieces that may
be afterward traded. The first visit of
tho collector Is often viewed with suspicion,
but afterward no difficulty Is encountered.
Many rare and valuable coins are secured
In this way for a price far below their
real value, and as both collector and store
keeper seems to understand each other,
there Is little time consumed In sealing a
bargain.
A traveling crematory that excites a mild
degree of Interest along the mld-sectlon of
Broadway, above Canal street, consists of
two wornout refuse cans, such as the
street cleaners move about on wheels, one
of these cans being placed bottom up on
top of the other, with Its rim against the
rim of the under can; the two cans thus
fixed locking together something like a can
buoy. A, big hole Is cut In the bottom cf
the upper can, which, of course, has a
hole In its top as the can Is now placed,
and through this opening waste paper Is
dropped to be burned within, paper gath
ered up by the street cleaner as he drags
his traveling crematory, mounted on th
usual pair ot wheels, along the street.
Talk about "The Making of an Ameri
can," aald a settlement worker who la oc
casionally called upon to run over to Ellis
Island. "A while ago I happened to taks
particular notlc of a young Polish girl
who had Just been released from Ellis
Island with a lot of other Immigrants. The
girl was met by two women, on of them
apparently her sister . Th trio crossed
Battery Park Just ahead ot me, and I
soon saw that they were bound for th
same ferry hous as I. They reached th
upper deck only a moment before me, but
by the time I got there the shawl that
covered the young Immigrant's head and
shoulders had been pulled off, her hair
fixed a bit, and a brand new hat and wrap
put on her by the other two women, who
had brought along the finery to make the
newcomer fit to be seen going home with
them."
In many a aunny block that Is compara
tively free from children a new Industry
now prevails. That Is, the drying of lace
curtains In the street. Somehow, many
housekeepers seem to prefer the sidewalk
to the roof for that purpose, and, after the
curtains hkve been stretched in the frames,
several pairs may be seen loaning up
against the side ot a house drying In the
sunshine.

Washington Herald.
If th people of this country would mix
a little common sens with th hot weather,
they would find th good old summer time
much more nearly bearable Soma beat
prostrations are unavoidable, of course. Bo
long a men must toll In the broiling sun
we must expect to hear Of victims of high
temperature. But when supposedly Intelli
gent human beings deliberately go to the
extreme of thoughtless, foolishness In
weather like this, there Is nobody to blame
but themselves.
One may accomplish wonders In the way
of avoiding the effects of hot weather by
the use of a little common sens. Exercise,
and especially violent exercise, should not
b takon In the heated part of the day, and
persons not accustomed to outdoor life
should be careful how they go about under
a hot sun at all. The mind should be kept
oft the subject of the weather, too. Don't
talk about It continually. Don't go about
saying, e-e-e-e-w, Isn't tt hot?" or some
thing else equally as Inane and useless.
Dont worry yourself, and don't worry
others. There ar many things worse than
hot weather, and ther Is ne exeua for
failure to apply common sense to th prob
lems It presents.
