TBK STANDARD aSd THE RAtLROADS. The Railway Age, recognised as the r.rgaa of the railway Interest, always sesloua In the defense of railway i their contests with the legislatures and ever ready with an explanation or apology for any action of the rail, ay managers In opposing legislation or regulation, has an Illuminating tdl torlal in its latest issue relative lo the Standard Oil monopoly, and - Its rela turns with the American railroad". In the course of the article the Age tsaya Th Standard Oil company bas been a leech upon the railways of the United States for msny years. By means of the tremendous pressure It has been enabled to bring Jo bear It has extorted vast sums from the carriers, both directly In th form of rebates and Indirectly In (other forms. There csn be no quest I n that if this gTsat corporation (the Stand ard Oil) shall Anally be held to have broken the law and shall be )ieavily pun ished, the ultimate effects will be moat salutary for both th public and Ibe rail ways. This very specific denunciation of the Standard must be accepted, as the Railway Age always speaks ex-cathedra on railway matters of such importance, aa voicing the real sentiment of the railway managers of the country anl as indicating that they bav-i decided to renounce the old offenRire and de fensive alliance with the li;gest of f 11 trusts. Hints have been furnished from time to time for sevaral ;ears that the railroads were becoming tent less under the exactions of the Stand ard and would welcome an oppor tunity to break away. . Several wit nesses before the Interstate Commerce commission, notably Paul Morton and Stoyvesant Fish, have testified that the railroads were not anxious to indulge in rebating and rate discriminations, but had been compelled to do sa by big shippers whose business was so great as to practically enable them to dictate terms. "Shall we discard clothes?" asks the Butte Inter-Mountain. Depends alto gether upon your luck in the draw. With a new baby girl at the execu tive mansion at Albany, the president ought to warm a little toward the Hughes boom. --.- According to the standpatters, It is foolish to revise the tariff when times are good and suicidal to revise it when times are bad. "It Is hard work for a ball team to crawl out of last place," says the Washington Post. The Washington team never triad it. That new Nebraska primary law is like a bottomless mine. They are finding new and unexpected things in It every time they look. In the meanwhile it looks as it Omaha would have to wait a year or two longer for that much-needed mod ern, first-class, fireproof hotel. Senator Tillman says that he and Senator Foraker are much alike. It is difficult to see how that Is going to help Senator Foraker much. - It will be good news to the people if this slap at ttie Standard by the Railway Age really reflects the sen timent of the railway managers. Heretofore It has been suspected that the arrangements between the railway managers and the big corporations were of mutual advantage. But the railway kings now claim to have really been puppets In the' hands of the trust magnates, compelled agalnat their. will to give rebates and discrimi nating rates for the benefit of the trusts, while the railroad stockholders and the general shipping public have been the sufferers. It will be a good thing for. the rail roads, their stockholders and the coun try generally, if the railroads for all time repudiate their preferential agree ments and practices with the. Standard and other trust combinations. Aside from some mlsplays on the part of Attorney General Bonaparte, tha nine members of the cabinet are doing pretty good team work.

J0RBS FOR THE ARMY. Western horse breeders may find an interesting hint in the recent report of General A. W. Greely, in which he calls attention to the increasing difficulty experienced' by army officials in securing suitable horses for the American cavalry and artillery serv ice. The general goes into detail In reviewing the change that has been effected in the number and character of horses raised in America. He shows that some twenty years ago, with the introduction of the trolley in dis placing the horse-drawn street car, the price of horses declined radically and Immediately thereafter a change was noticed in the character of the horses raised for sale. Instead of the driv ers, riding horses, roadsters and the lithe, tough horses so popular in army circles, breeders turned ,their atten tion to raising heavy draught horses, for use on the farms and in heavy hauling. The result, according to General Greely, has been the disap pearance of the horse fitted for cavalry and field artillery service. ' General Greoly's report is con firmed by the experience of an officer of the German army wha has been in this country for some months look ing for horses for the kaiser's cav alry. He has declared that, after a tour o? Kentucky and other horse breedinf slates, he is unable to secure anything like the number or kind of horses & 3. wants. Within the last five yesfs, according to General Greely, the price of horses has ad vanced rapidly and the supply is now entirely Inadequate. He asserts that the array Is already embarrassed by Us difficulty In securing the kind of horses needed for the equipment of the cavalry and that even the fancy prices now being offered, from $15 to 200. fails to relieve the situation. Hia report suggests that horse breeders of the west may profit by breeding a class of horses that will meet the necessities of the situation. - gave him as chairman of the finance committee valuable Insight into the ramifications and methods of state finances. He resided here In Omaha for a year or more. Identified with one of our big national banks, and will have the benefit of this local acquaint ance. George Coupland is a farmer and raiser of fine stock near Elgin and a special student of modern methods of agricultural training and closely as sociated with the various organiza tions of farmers and stock breeders. If the State university is to be devel oped along lines of agricultural edu cation his services on the board will be particularly valuable. Dr. A. S. von Mansfelde of Ashland Is a veteran medical practitioner, wh has the endorsement of the State Med ical association and Is a physician of high reputation and deep culture. He has aspired to membership in the unl verslty board once or twice before. The consensus of opinion, as voiced by republican newspapers throughou Nebraska, is that the choice should fall upon Messrs. Anderson and Coup land, which would be a satisfactory solution from all points of view. would give one member to the south part of the state and another to th north part, thus balancing the ticket according to old-time custom. In ad dltlon to this, their nomination would unquestionably strengthen the party before the people all along the line tlces of the peace who will give the 1 poor as well as the rich a square deal no more and no less. J. Pierpont 'Morgan, Just returned from Europe, announces that he mav 1 .. nave sometning to say "later." " He may take his time about It'. The coun try has progressed pat the point where it refuses to eat breakfast until it has learned whai J. Pierpont Mor gan thinks about the situation. The high financiers have . not been Ivery successful In their efforts to place he blame for the stock panic on Presi dent Roosevelt, They may have to Ldopt the usual plan and blame It on Secretary Loeb.

Two candidates for university re gents are to be nominated by repub licans" at the statewide primary and the nomination is generally conceded to be as good as au election. The State university has come to be an in stitution of wide scope and great in fluence and for its management a high degree of business ability is required. The appropriations to the use of the university by the last legislature ex ceeded $1,000,000 and the wise expen diture of this money is of greatest im portance to Nebraska taxpayers. The university budget constitutes prac tically a third of all the state revenues and more than those of all the other atate Institutions combined. It Is fortunate that for places on the Board of Regents all three of the republicans asking nomination are mea of culture and high standing in their respective communities. . Charles B. Anderson Is intbe bank ing business at Crete. He recently aerved a term as state senator which THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The attempt of frenzied financiers stung by exposure to create the Impres sion that the business and financial world Is in revolt against the prep' dent and his policies and alarmed over the outlook has utterly collapsed, in the face of testimony taken by the Commercial National bank of Chicago of 30,000 bankers, manufacturers cud merchants and others In keen touch with commercial and Industrial affairs throughout the country. These bank era and business men were canvassed through personal letters, sent out by the bank, and not one of the I' l.OOO replies received negatives the con tusion, drawn from the overwhelming preponderance of evidence that the business condition of the country is sound and the outlook for the future reassuring. ' Almost wunoui exception the un- swers declare that It is difficult to secure capital needed for business. It Is not contended by any that this scar ify of capital Is due to lack of confl dence, any basic weakness in the in ustrlal or commercial conditions or to the unsettled conditions in the spec ulative centers. The country has slm ply been rushing ahead at a whirlwind pace until the demand on capital ac cumulations has exceeded the supply, The demand for goods and wares of all kinds has been unprecedented, both at home anr abroad, and to meet tne merchants and manufacturers ave been compelled to employ almost very available unit of money and to put Into action every potentiality of credit. frL v j . . m .. ... , iue results 01 mis condition are apparent on every band. The demand for capital to meet the productive de mand of industry has opened such a profitable field that capital, usually eager to find safe Investment in bonds and securities bearing a low rate of interest, has now been withdrawn for industrial development. Bonds are Mgglng on the market and even the speculative stocks are going begging, while capital is finding more attractive rewards in legitimate enterprises. The mobile capital of the world is all employed, even to the absorption of the-surplus which is usually large enough to furnish activity for the stock market. Summarized, the testimony of these 30,000 witnesses is that the business of the country is superlatively good, credit unimpaired, collections easy and that there Is not a single discouraging feature in the trade situation. The democrats hereabouts who thought they were playing a smart trick by filing only republicans on their judicial ticket have discovered that their, gun kicks back. The re publicans will have the sole and ex clusive right to name the democratic judicial committee, which will hold for four years and which might have charge of several intermediate cam paigns contingent upon changes in the personnel of the bench for the dis trict. Those smart tricks in politics do not always pan out.

A government unwilling to do this would be worthy of not tha slightest re spect of Its clttiens. If fault there bs anywhere. It 1. not with th govern ment, but with the laws. Now among thoae law. there may be som that need more or less revision, notably the Sher man anti-trust act, but It Is Idle for anyon to contend that the whole body BYGOXEs. of these laws is vicious. Such statutes as the Elklns anti-rebate bill hav un doubtedly p'roved decidedly distasteful In many quarters, but they nave proved a boon to both the consumer and the small tradesman, and the statesman doesn't live who would dare to suggest their re peal. They Impose no unreasonable re strictions on corporate wealth. Their primary purpose is to guarantee a square prosecute violators of the commerce I deal to all. Consequently there is little laws only so far as those violations shall avmnathv to be wasted on the corpora- be committed In th future. That Is Mr. tlon that gets Into trouble because It Soothing; Poultice for Feellaar of Law Breakers, Kansas City Times. It would be very fine. Indeed, for the trusts, and especially for the responsible heads of the trusts. If the nutlonal adminis tration should announce a policy of letting bygones be bygones, declaring its purpose to Judge Keese explains that he re ceived his annual pass as a railroad courtesy extended to him as president of the Nebraska Prison association. People will now understand better why such thankless and salaryless Jobs as president of the Nebraska Prison association find ready takers. "If Taft really wants to be presi dent, be should let somebody else write his speeches as well as do his thinking," says W. R. Hearst, who might Improve his presidential chances by following the advice he has Offered to Mr. Taft. The justices of the peace constitute the poor roan's court. People should see to It that men are chosen aa jus- rlck's plan. The arrangement he pro poses would be most felioitous. It would leave out his big monopoly, grossly en riched by violations of th laws, one of the most exacting and domineering of cap- allstic combinations. It Is Just possible at the Steel trust, now that the national administration Is closing on sll unlawful combinations, would be willing to sign the pledge If past derelictions were absolved. In the natural course of events the Steel trust cannot hope much longer to escape the vigilance of the Department of Justice. It would come In Its regular order Imme diately after Standard Oil. The government has been disposed to prosecute corporations rather than individ uals; first, because It is much easier to secure convictions against organizations than against men, and, second, because it Is believed to be best for all concerned to have the laws denned and understood through their application to corporations before they are applied to individuals. For these reasons msny trusts and compara tively few trust officials have been prose cuted; but this is a very different policy from that proposed by Mr. Frlck. It is largely a policy of education, preparing the public mind and therefore the Juries of the future-to do Justice to all offenders. Mr. Frlck would make all past law breakers of this class immune on the ground that the violations Id question were "sanctioned by usage." They wer san tloned by those who committed these crimes, but It cannot be said that they wer sanctioned by ussge, sine such a small percentaga of the people of this coun try were guilty of them. And, moreover, they hav been under tha government ban for many yearj. certainly ever sine th enactment of Ui Interstate commerce law of litl. attempts to evade them. Th corporation Itself is entirely to blame, and Is de serving of the full penalty provided for law breaking. We say full penalty be cause anything less than that will fail by so much to hav tha desired de terrent effect. If a life sentence Is non too severe for the defaulting bank cashier, a fine of $29,000,000 Is none too severe for the corporation that has been a per slstent transgressor of the law. for a quarter of a century. Such a policy as that on which the government has embarked Is always cal ciliated to provoke attempts to befog the real issue. It was so when the life In surance business was investigated and It Is 'so now. It Is not merely regulation that the government is aiming at, hys terically cry sveh people ss Chancellor Day, but confiscation of organised capi tal. We doubt, however, If this opinion of the governments intentions is seri ously entertained by any grerson of in telligence. The task of rigorously en forcing tha country's case against tho trust, has unfortunately been put off so long that It Is now bound to create con siderable disturbance. Nevertheless we think it safe to predict that when the process of applying remcdle. to the coun try' social Ills lias been completed the capital of the country will still be found where It should be, In private hands and In Just aa Intact shape as It Is at present.
