I'realdent Itoosevelt has ordered
Colonel Qoethala, tha army engineer
In charge at I'anama, to go ahead with
the digging, using all the funds nera
ary, and assuring him that eougreua
will, at tha coming session, Include, an
appropriation In the general defldeucy
bill sufficient to cover expenditures.
This executive order haa been taken
aa a slgual for a cry by democratic
newspapers that tha president la ex
ceeding his authority and usurping
a legislative function,
The fact la that congress made cer
tain appropriations for tha Tanama
canal construction work, calculated to
defray the expenses for the tlacal year
ending next June. Colonel Qoethala
reporta tha work progressing so rap
Idly that tha money available will be
exhausted soon after January 1, un
less allowed to anticipate revenues,
Under existing conditions, ha haa the
option of using tha funds available for
the fiscal year and .stopping work
when, these funds are exhausted, or
cutting down forcea so as to keep tha
expenses within the appropriation for
tha year, I'realdent Itoosevelt'a order
la for Colonel Qoethala to go ahead,
to push tha work with all possible
peed and to trust congreaa ta make
a defldeucy appropriation.. Under that
order, work will go o so long as
funds for the fiscal year laat. It these
are exhausted by February or March,
and congreaa doea not come to the re
lief, tha working forvea will be laid

Important office In tha court housa
HWJIIAM fOH DintHlCT CLKBK.
The republican nomination for clerk
cf tha district court belongs by right
to Walter W. Iilngham. Mr. lilngham
waa nominated for this position In a
fair and square primary fight four
years ago and made tha race for tba
republicans against 13 road well, than
asking for a second term. On tha face
of the returns lilngham was beaten by
only a handful of votes and tbera was
conclusive evidence ot miscount which,
If corrected, would have given blm a
clear title to tha office. Acting under
advice of republican leaders, ha Instl
tuted a contest, but was fllmflammed
out of tha decision by tortuous rulings
of Judge Vlnsonhaler, from which
there was no escapa by appeal
Aside from this, however, Mr, Ding-
ham la entitled to nomination as
against his rival candidates for many
other reasons. Ills superior aualiflca'
tlons to perform tha duties of the
office are admitted. Ills personal In
tegrlty has never been assailed. He
has for years been prominent In tha
ranks of tha party and, although sev
eral times aspiring to other offices, has
always yielded gracefully when the
party expressed Ua preference for an
otherthis In contrast with those who
walked out of republican convention
or accepted nominations to run against
tha nominees of their own party,
Mr, lilngham is a representative
business man, having been a success
ful produce commission merchant for
more than a quarter of a century
and, what Is more, haa stood high In
all his business dealings. Ua is not
a man out ot a Job, asking to be taken
rare of, but a man who haa always
taken cure of himself and will tako
cure of the public Interest equally
welt when put In charge ot tha district
court clerk's office,
It looks aa If that resolution
adopted by the police board, warning
policemen uot to mix politics and bus
iness, ought to have been directed at
tho firemen. It there is one depart
ment of the city government that
should be kept free from political de
moralisation more than any other It
la tha fire department, and right now
it will bear watching.
If a, constitutional amendment,
which Is pending, should bo adopted
next year tha Judgea ot tha district
court elected this year will have their
salaries raised tor tha laat three year
of their terms. That may account
for seventeen eutrlea In tha tourna
ment lu thla Judicial district, where
only aeven prises will be awarded.
Under official ruling no one In
Omaha or Bouth. Omaha can vote at
next Tuesday's primary unless his
name appears properly enrolled on the
registration llta. That may explain
why there haa not been any alarms
this year on either stde about colonisa
tion or fraudulent registration.
The Water board appears to be un
decided whether to submit a water
bond proposition to tha voters thla
fall. The Absence ot one of Ita high
priced lawyers, spending bis part ot
tha water fund over tn Europe, Is
doubtless responsible for this Inde
cision. Somebody wants to know why men
should exert themselves to secure
places on the school board, supposed
to Involve much work and ho pay,
Presumably It la to get la training to
laud on the Water board, which re
quires no work, but carrlea good pay.
Kvery registered republican In
Omaha should make It a point to vote
t the next Tueaday'a primary. This Is
to be a statewide primary and tba voto
aat lu Omaha and Douglas county
will be compared with the vote cast In
every other county ta Nebraska.
And now cornea Labor day. But
every laborer who wauU to celebrate
will have to lay off. whereas In former
ear, kuown as democratic times, )a-
bortug men were eujojlug compulsory

Think of the Idea before yott smile:
Th democratic party la eatopped from
erltlclem. In and out of con vent I rmi. In
tlmea of good and of evil renort. the
democrata of th country have reprobated
tha acquisition and the retention of these
fsrswsy Islanda of discontent, danger and
Inutility.
In the republican party also th tonrue
of criticism has not been stilled. Men
In congress, under the lash of patronage,
have not spoken their true- feelings. They
have had opinions that found ready expres
sion among their constituents and trusted
friends. Not all of them, by any mesne,
are upon the aide of the admlntstrstlon In
lila onslaught upon certain corporations
thst ha1 set out to own the country. Un
til certain trust-ridden ststes. like Rhode
Island. New York, Indiana, West Virginia.
and Nevada, are bereft of power to send
servants of the "Interests" to the house and
th senate, these aertlona of the nation
111 be represented" by men who are
opposed to any and every measure that the
preaent administration shall denominate.
Itut behind Hecretary Taft In this mar
vclnua undertaking, upon which ho Is about
to set out, will be the great mass of the
Amcrlcsn people. If he can unload the

TjOtilsvlllu Courier-Journal (dem.).
The one purpose which the Courier
Journal has before It Is to Induce Mr.
nryan to see the situation as It sees It
It thinks the democratic party enn elect
no president without Mr. Bryan's active
support. Nor can It elect a candidate
agalnat his direct opposition. Mr. Bryan
In rathr an equivocal way has Intimated
that the editor ot the Courier-Journal
might himself be a candidate as It were,
a ctandcatln, very clandestine, candidate-:-for
president. No man who ever wore
a gray Jacket will ever be prealdent of
the United Btntea. The fite of Mr. Greeley
deeply and early Impressed Itself upon
Mr. Wattersdn. He haa no thought or
wlah either of a nomination or an election.
Nay, more; he haa lived near enough to
tha Inside of the White Houee to realise
that, whilst the presidency ta a place not
to be declined, It la a place not to be do-
sired.
Mr, llryan Is not the choice of the best
intelligence among the leading domocrats
of a single southern stste. The whisper
goes round among the timid, time-serving
politicians of the south that "we can't
elect him, but we'll have to nominate him."
Can Mr. Bryan believe that he will be
abl to survive another aereatT Can he
believe the party mayt Yet he holds the
dostlny alike of hla party and hlmaelf tn

might sav. th future or botn. xne
Courier-Journal has no other Idea than
that cf supporting the ticket; but that

especially In the debatable atatea can only
be broken-hearted and one-legged, the edi

HAILRUAD LEGISLATION.
Brief Review ef the Work of State
Legislators.
Boston Transcript.
The legislatures have all finished their
work for the calendar year and It Is In
structive to look back over the swrtth
that they havo severally and collectively
cut through the railroad operatlona of
the country. Nearly three hundred bills
have been passed affecting the rall.-oad
Interests of the United States, the most
prominent among them being those that
have reduced th rates of the various
lines. There are twenty states, or nearly
half of the whole bunch, that hav either
reduced rates on passenger traffic or
have taken preliminary steps with that
In prospect It Is a radical change all
along the line. Th basis of It haa been
largely hit or miss. Ohio was the first
atate to declare a flat t-cent rate, and,
as the railroads In the state hav shown
larger paasengsr earnings since that was
done, other states, without a close ex
amination of local conditions, haVe as
sumed that a similar result would fol
low similar action.
Indiana has a flat 2-cent rate. Iowa
makes the rate I cents on roods with
gross earnings of H.000 a mile; 2Vi cents
on roads earning 13,000. and I cents on
roads earning less than that This looks
like an attempt to supply a basis ad
Justed to the strength or weakness of
the road. It does not Insist upon a
Procrustes bed for the road to run on.
But Michigan haa decreed that all roada
having passenger earnings of $1,200 a
mile shall pay the 2-cent rate. Wiscon
sin baaea It on gross earnings of t3.&00
a mile, and West Virginia on all lines
over nfty miles In length.
Th I-cent rate went Into effect In Ne
braska last March, with penalties for
violating the statute se heavy that the
roads put It Into force upon the very
first, day it was due, awaiting final ad
judication Of the constitutional questions
Involved by th supreme courts of ' the
United States. Pennsylvania's t-cent rate
law will go Into effect October 1, al
though there the fight against its con
stitutionality Is being waged In the ctal
courts, the only state where the appeal
Is to the local tribunals. In the south
ern states the rates have not dropped to
what Is the popular figure In the north,
but low enough to arouse sharp contro
versies, as ths country Is by this time
well aware.
The new Public Service commission In
New York can make a 1-oent rats If so
disposed. So can the new railroad com
mission of Vermont Montana and South
Dakota. In the states north of Mason
and Dixon's line the average earnings
per train mile are about 20 per cunt
higher than below It. Massachusetts Is
cluesvd among the ten states from wblcn
similar legislation to that enacted In the
atates quoted Is expected, but w do nit
look for It Tbe big systems here have
voluntarily lowered their rates, and any
further adjustments that may seem de
sirable can doubtless be effected through
arrangements with ths railroad commis
sioners. But what a grist of special labor
has been accumulated by all thla leg!

Wall Street Journal.
For a period of fully two years the fed
eral government haa been devoting much
of Its onerglee to discovering In what ways
and to what extent the corporations of the
country were disregarding the laws of th
land.
The net reault of the moet searching In
vestlgatlona, In which competent repre
sentatives have had access to the books
and records ot tne corporations of the
country, disclose the fact that probably
a dosen leading companies hav been ac
tually charged wtth violations of law. A
few of these hav been adjudged guilty
in the tower courts and a number of other
case are pending for Anal decision. But
the maui fact In all this long period ot
searching Investigation la that the great
body of corporations bare not a yet bewn
charged with violating laws or disregard
ing the legal conditions on which modarn
businea Is being cenductad.
Ttita overshadowing fact should hav
more weight than tt is now receiving in
th mind of th Investing world. It should
strengthen th fUng of safety and for
tify those who are Inclined to b fearful
against anything like an epidemic of alarm
for th security of bustnes as a whole,

eely a small prcetsg of this has been
found to be ud Illegally, why should th

should be strwogthnrag and eonSdenc
