THE CAR SHORTAGE TRORLtM
Managers It the big railway trunk
lines foresee another car ehortage
when the crops begin to move and they
are disposed to place the blame on the
coal merchants and their patrons. Re
ports to railroad headquarters show
that, while there Is a sufficiency of
cars for the transportation of coal to
the places where It will be needed, the
dealers are not taking, advantage uf
the opportunity, preferring to await the
demand which usually becomes urgent
after the season's harvest. The rail
road managers Insist that they have
made an effort to avoid this conges
tion by early admonishing dealers to
lay in their coal supplies ahead of the
demand for cars to move the crop
from tha agricultural regions.
The situation against which the rail
road managers issued their warning
appears to have developed. To add to
the complication the western purchases
of merchandise have been heavier this
year than ever before and the railroads
will be taxed to carry the westbound
business, just now setting in. Last
year over 200,000,000 bushels of
wheat wera left in the hands of the
growers because cars were not pro
vided for its transportation. On ac
count of the snow blockades of the
winter most of this wheat reserve was
not sent to the eastern markets .until
late in the spring. Since their the
wheat area and the general cereal area
has been augmented, and, while the
total production will be perhaps less
than last year, the prospect of moving
the erop promptly has not improved
oticeably. Members of the Interstate
Commerce commission are making an
ffort to relieve the situation by in-
ucing dealers in coal In distant lo
calities to anticipate the season's needs
by making purchases of fuel now in
stead of waiting until winter. The
aim of the commission is commend
able, but Its success Is doubtful, as
the laying in of the coal supply in
volves a heavy outlay of money, which
dealers hesitate to make until abso-
utely necessary. Altogether, the situ
ation is far from satisfactory, although
the railroads seem to have tried to
prevent a recurrence of last year's de
ficiency . in transportation facilities
which contributed so largely to the
feeling of antagonism on the part of
the public toward the railroads.
IX THE HOME STRETCH.
Solution- of some of the weighty
problems of the world will havo to be
deferred for about six days. .Aspirants
for the presidential nomination in all
parties need not be worried if they
fail to find appreciative audiences until
after September 15. Politicians whw
have been nominated for office may as
well take a little vacation now, as they
will not bo able to get attention from
prospective. ..supporters - or find op
ponents. Teady to, listen to their argu
ment. Wellman may start tor the polo,
or start h.ome and the public will not
care anything about it until early next
week. Wall street may pull off its
panic or close up shop without affect
ing the situation in the least. Personal
dignity, individual problems, para
mount issues and the coal shortage
will be "forgotten while the nation
waits with bated breath to learn what
the score is in the final game and what
clubs will fly the pennants for another
year.
The Omaha team, coming Into the
finish a little groggy, still has a chance
to win the pennant in the Western
league. It is going to be a nifty fight,
however, with the hated Des Moines
bunch altogether too close for comfort.
Everybody wishes Hogriever well, be
cause he plays ball with hfs head as
well as with his feet, but if something
could be done to give him and his men
a little temporary paralysis that-would
last over Sunday, the Omaha fans
would feel much more comfortable
The suspense is a little bit agonizing
and the only consolation Is that it can-
cot last long. May the best team win.
SCIENTIFIC IARMKRS.
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture, after his recent ex
tended tour of the west, expresses the
cheering conviction that the country
can never have another serious crop
failure. He bases this statement on
his observations of what the farmers
are doing In the way of applying scterv
tide methods to the cultivation of soil,
the rotation of crops, -diversified farm
lng and adoption of intelligent methods
in the study of soils, with the conse
quent selection of crops that thrive
under climatic conditions known to
the farmer to prevail in different sec
tions. The day has passed, according
to the secretary, when men try to
raise wheat in the cotton belt and cot
ton In the wheat region.
.The secretary naturally attributes
much of this advancement In scientific
farming to the results of the general
dissemination of information in bulle
tins by the Department of Agriculture,
with special demonstrative work that
has been done by lepresentatives of the
department and of the governmental
experiment stations In different states.
There are sixty-three institutions of
learning in this country that get the
benefit of the land grant act of 1863,
providing for the establishment of
agricultural colleges, and in twenty
one states the agricultural colleges are
departments of the state universities.
As a result, in 1906, 63,471 students
attended the land grant colleges, most
of them taking special courses in scien
tific farming, or at least making that
a part of their studies. Among these
were many men advanced in years
farmers who had had practical experi
ence in raising crops, but who felt the
need of supplementing their practical
knowledge with scientific training.
11i result of all this special work
la being shown lu belter crops, with
less outlay, and a general Improve
ment of agricultural conditions. Too
farmers are applying the lessons of
science.
TWO BAD PRECIDESTS.
The Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners has set two had precedents
which are sure to come back to plague
It at some future time.
In the flrBt place, the board has re
instated a member of the fire depart
ment, dismissed for cause by a previ
ous board, notwithstanding the fact
that he Is far above the age limit ap
plied to new recruits. This has been
done without the recommendation of
the fire chief and against his known
wishes. With equal reason every dis
missed fireman might demand rein
statement at any time before he wants
to be put on the retired list with a
pension.
In tlio second place, the board has
on Us own motion prohibited the as
signment of a police officer to a desig
nated district. If any police officer
has been derelict in his duty charges
should .be preferred against him and
he should be disciplined or dismissed,
but in this case there are no charges
nor any evidence of misconduct, nor
has the officer been on the beat in
question for more than two months.
Barring a police officer from a partic
ular beat would be followed logically
by assigning a police officer to a par
ticular beat and eventually by the
assignment of officers to their various
beats individually by the board in
stead of by the chief and his captains.
If that point is ever reached the dis
cipline of the police force will be en
tirely destroyed and Its efficiency thor
oughly demoralized.
A VTOMOHILK REOVLA TION.
The New York Times has compiled
a record of automobile accidents in the
United States for June, July and Au
gust. The record, It Is admitted, is in
complete, but it Is sufficient to direct
attention to a problem that must be
dealt with vigorously and Intelligently.
The uses of the automobile are in
creasing each day and the necessity for
regulation is daily becoming more
manifest.
According to the Times' figures
there were ninety-six automobile acci
dents in the three months more than
ono a day in which fifty-one persons
were killed and 202 seriously injured,
minor bruises and hurts not being con
sidered in making up the report. These
figures were compiled from the tele
graph columns of the newspapers and
do not, of course, include the hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of accidents
throughout the country which did not
result in serious injuries and were
therefore not chronicled in the big
newspapers.
In the ninety-six recorded accidents,
twenty-nine were caused by reckless
driving, eleven by the chauffeur losing
control of the machine, ten by efforts
to avoid Injuring pedestrians, nine by
collisions with trolley cars; seven oc
curred at grade crossings; In eight
pedestrians were struck; four acci
dents were due to frightened horses;
three were caused by bursting tires;
two were by obstructions which had
been placed In the road; two were due
to the ignition of the gasoline supply,
and one was caused by the chauffeur
falling asleep at the wheel.
The summary shows that careless
cess and reckless driving caused a ma
jority of the accidents. The collision
with trolley cars and the accidents at
grade crossings can be explained in no
other way. It is almost incompre
hensible that there should be a col
lision between a trolley car and an au
tomobile, or a grade crossing accident
in which the blame does not rest en
tirely with the driver of the auto
mobile. Trolley cars and railroads
have fixed routes and are not supposed
to yield the right-of-way or change
their schedules to suit the pleasure of
scorchers.
Omaha is proud of its automobile
contingent, but the necessity of better
obedience of rules governing the opera
tion of the automobiles is obvious.
Our wide streets furnish an element of
safety and security to the pedestrian,
but they also offer a temptation to the
automoblllst to throw caution to the
winds and use the business thorough
fare as a speedway. - The public, while
welcoming the ubo of the automobile.
has the right to demand and to re
ceive from automobile users the high
est possible degree of care and caution,
not only for the safety of other occu
pants of the streets, but of the auto
mobilists themselves.
The Lincoln Star amends its. re
marks about the vote on railway commissioner-at
the recent primary being
a vote registering the prejudice
against Omaha by saying that the
same prejudice exists throughout the
state against Lincoln and that the re
sult would not be far different If the
Lincoln member of the commission
were seeking renominatlon. That is
very good as far as it goes, but it does
not explain why Lancaster county
should have failed to give the Omaha
member of the commission a substan
tial majority.
The .announcement is made that
street venders of popcorn in Omaha
are now using only pure buffer in
place of butt,er substitutes for season
ing their wares. It goes without say
ing that the small boy who consumes
the popcorn will quickly note the d!f
ference.
When the official primary returns
are tabulated for the whole state they
will Indicate with mathematical pre
cision the relative strength of the
democratic and populist elements of
the fusion combine. For Douglas
county, for example, and probably for
several other counties, no populist
votes worth counting will be returned.
But presumably the dual organisation
name will be maintained in the hope
still of fooling a few people once more.
The city has renewed its arrange
ments for feeding prisoners at the city
jail at the rate of 10 cents a meal. In
the meantime the county Is being
mulcted by the sheriff for feeding
prisoners in the county jail to the tune
of about 17 cents a meal, but thp
county will get down to feeding by
contract after January 1, next, and
ought then to get within hailing dis
tance of the city prices.
Walter Wellman is absolutely confi
dent that he will be able to reach the
North Pole next season. The Wash
ington base ball team Is equally confi
dent that It will win the American
league pennant next year.
A medical journal has just discov
ered that fat legs are indicative of
great mental powers. That seems to
agree with the claim recently made by
a scientist that most of the thinking
is done with the toes.
Tom Johnson Is apt to get a notion

The case was ono in wnicn representa

'ROUND ABOUT !KW YORK.
Ripples on the Current of Life In tho
Metropolis.
The budget of Greater New York year
after year outplaces the growth In popula
tion, and that is going some. In former
years a Jump of from $t,000,000 to llO.OOO.OM
was considered the limit of Increased rev
enue. This year the total Jumps from $124,-
000. 000 to $140,000,000, an Increase of SH,0"0,.
ooo over last year and J1S. 000,000 less than
the departments asked. Values are golsg
up by similar leaps. This year the as
sessed valuation of real estate Increased
1. VH. 000.000. A particular Instance of en
hanced value la noted In the borough of
Queens. A tract of five acres was bought
In 1900 fur 113,600. In 1907 the property was
assessed for $25,000. There were no sales
to Indicate a clearer value, but this spring
the tract was sold for $100,000 without any
Improvement having been made on It. The
Board of Assessment for the first time
presents an analysis of exempt real estate,
showing the total value of the property
owned by the United States, the state of
New York and the city of New Tork. The
figures are: United Btates, $80,313,300; state
of New York, $J,181,30; city of New Tork.
$814,833,200; property of religious, charitable
and benevolent corporations and others,
$279,OJ8,6?3; total, $1,156,346,803.
The total assessment of personal property
shows a reduction of $12,445,627 from the as
sessments of last year. This reduction Is
due to the cancellation of assessments ag
gregating $20,000,000 upon satisfactory evi
dence that no tax could be collected from
the person assessed.
Maintaining their long established lead,
the Smith family looms up largely over all
other families In the 121st volume of the
general directory of Manhattan and the
Bronx, now being distributed. There are
thirty-seven columns of the new directory
devoted to the Smith family.
Jacques Aa. is the first person whose
name appears In the list, and the last one
Is Louis Zysa. Between these two are
strange and original names. There Is one
representative of the Bykoiynsky family
and also a Wseherpfennlng.
In the colors' the Browns and Brownes
lead by a comfortable margin. There are
twenty columns of these, and the Whites
oome next, with ten and one-half columns.
There are eight columns of Greens and
Greenes, while the Blacks and Grays break
even, with three Columns.
There are approximately 500,000 names In
the book, which would Indicate a popula

Bronx, two of the five boroughs of Greater
New York.
Tho telegraph operators' strike ts being
conducted In New York City In a manner
entirely new and original. Music and
dancing are not usually the means adopted
of keeping up enthusiasm and loyalty to
the cause, yet the. telegraphers have found
that the plan works admirably. At the
strikers' headquarters members of the teleg
raphers' union with musical talent gather
daily and provide music free of charge for
dancing. The young women are a self
appointed committee of the whole on en
thusiasm, and they devote their spare time
to dancing with the young men, so as to
keep them In line. Their Influence has had
much to do with the peaceful manner In
which the strike has so far been conducted.
The rate of the drift uptown in Man
hattan is shown by the petition of a group
of merchants on Fifth avenue for the wid

Thirty-third and Forty-third streets.
A few years ago this was among the
choicest residence sections of New York.
Now It Is utterly given over to business,
and the bUBlnets architecture of the street
has recently evolved a dignity and beauty
consonant with the high values of tho
ground space occupied and with the exalted
social rank which has not yet departed
from the neighborhood. ,
Ground has been broken fn Brooklyn for
many model co-operative houses. It is the
purpose of the companies recently organ
ised and Incorporated under the laws of
the state of New York to erect a number
of high-class, four-story, semi-fireproof
apartment houses, planned and 'designed
especially to meet the requirements of re
fined persons of moderate means. Features
now found only In high-priced apartments
are to be installed, and it Is the purpose of
the builders to erect houses In which apart
ments can be rented on an average of $1
a week .per room. The details of this
scheme have been carefully worked out by
experienced men. The buildings, while eco
nomically planned and arranged, are to
be artistic and of ornamental and attrac
tive design. The fronts will be constructed
of face brick, polished granite, carved lime
stone and molded terra cotta. The build
ings are all to be located In select neighbor
hoods and will be different from the or
dinary flats and apartment houses erected
by speculative builders. Tho servant girl
problem. It Is promised, can be forgotten
by those who occupy these apartment
homes.- All rooms and halls will open
directly to the outer air, and all the apart
ments will be so planned as to have no
dark corners, and to have perfect cross
ventilation Snd arranged to Insure the
maximum of privacy. In selecting ten
ants for these buildings the company will
give preference to It stockholders who
may be desirous of renting apartments.
This will result practically In co-operative
ownership, which will remove the burden
of rent paying from those In the company
who rent apartments In these buildings.
A favorite dodge policemen work on pay

a dead cat somewhere along their beat:
By orders of the department they are re

Immediately, but 1 nothing hinders a
friendly cop from passing the cat ovor
the line Into another policeman's terri
tory. Then he, too, may report to the
station the discovery of a dead cat. But
at the West Thirty-seventh street station
house the other day the sergeant behind

the statehood question so far as these tfrrl

for the us of ths force a list of persons,
Arms and societies that hold a government
license to deal in liquor In Omaha, but
have not gone through the formality oi
taking out a state and city license. There
are about 100 names on the list, hut as the
resolution does not mention Individuals
who may be suspected of selling or giving
away without such city license they are
probably not directly Interested in the
pending action, while there Is also a large
number of societies not regularly engaged
In serving liquor to embers which do on
occasions buy beer to be given to friends
and members at special meetings. These
probably will be affected by the order, but

LIMERICKS.
There was a young lady of Licking, '
In the night couldn't stand a clock ticking,
Said the ticks without number.
Interfered Willi her slumber,
And she lay there Incessantly kicking.
But this nervous young lady of Licking,
At last grew weary of- kicking;
And fast she did lock,
In a drawer her clock.
And thus gained relief from Its ticking.
Still this fretful young lady of Licking, '
Continues her knocking . and kicking;
Thxugh the clocks all are muffled.
Still her temper la ruffled.
For she vows she can feel the bed-ticking.
