Although ho has Issued the tempor ary Injunction asked for by 'tha- rall roado to restrain the enforcement of Minnesota' now commodity rates, while refusing to Interfere with the op eration of the 2-cent fare law, Judfe Loch re n has, In so doing, reasserted a former ruling of Immense Importance la the conflict of federal and state jurisdiction over railway regulation. Judge Lochren declare In so many words that ho sees no merit la the con tention of the railroad lawyers that the fixing of intrastate rates by state authorities so controls the fixing of rates for through shipments a to in vade the regulation of Interstate com merce reserved exclusively to con gress. In hi opinion, while changes In Interstate schedules may follow changes in intrastate schedules, such changes are no necessary consequence and by themselves should not deprive the states of their power to regulate charges for transportation between points wholly within their boundaries. Th importance of this ruling Ilea In the fact that the same point has been. raised In the rate litigation pend ing In a dozen different states, among others in rate cases right here In Ne braska: Of course the question will go up to the supreme court of the United States and be(passed on eventually by the highest judicial tribunal In the land. To get the weight of authority in the preliminary decisions against the railroad position must strengthen the arms of the authorities that are grappling with the problem of rate regulation In the Interest of the pub lic. AM ERICA K IHOX ABROAD. London trade journals are much perturbed over the fact that the Amer ican Steel trust Is "scouring the world for orders for heavy rolled steel, and the Steel trust has even gone so far a take orders for American rails abroad, contrary to the International rail agreement. The London Journals look upon this American invasion as a real menace to the British iron trade. The complaints of the London pa pers are significant, Inasmuch as they show that the Steel trust Is to compete with' foreign makers, although the high protective tariff on steel was orig inally adopted to protect the American workman from competition with "the pauper labor of Europe." The Amer ican Invasion, It is admitted in Lon don, spells Idleness for the British steel mills, as tbo American product Is delivered in Europe at price which the British manufacturer can not meet, and, at the same time, the American product are of a higher grade than can be -turned out of the British mill. . h Is just possible, however, that the British may be spared the infliction of another American invasion. Some months ago the mana'gers of the Steel trust became a little alarmed over the situation in the United States and pre dicted a general slackening of the de mand for their products. As a wise business precaution, they began Inves tigating the foreign fields, with a view of extending their markets and dis posing of their surplus products. The predicted slackening' In the industrial trade has failed to develop and Indica tions are that the 8teel trust will have all it can do to attend to domestic de mands. Chairman Gary of the Steel trust stated the other day that the 17,000,000,000 which would- be re ceived by the farmers of the nation for this year's crops would undoubtedly cause renewed demands In the steel and Iron trades that would keep the mills of his company busy for another year. Already the Harriman lines have ordered 125 new locomotives, with a premium on the fixed price If they can be delivered promptly, and other rail roads are 'rushing in their orders that were held in abeyance in the early summer, on account of the then un promising outlook in the financial field. Within the last month the money market has Improved rapidly and the railroads are again able to place their debenture to raise money for needed betterments. The wave of unrest and warfare against capital, or what the capitalist imagined was warfare, have become calmed and the future prom ises Increased, or at least continued, prosperity In all lines of activity. Un der the circumstances, both the Brit ish steel makers and the American public may rest easier. WISELY irtTBDRAWX. . When a wise man discovers that he has made a mistake he takes the first opportunity to correct It. Accord ingly the Union Pacific Is playing the part ot wisdom In withdrawing the order whlcb barred from its trains all local passenger traffic between Ne braska polnta. s. The people excluded from these trains got the idea rightly or wrongly that the order ot exclusion was made purely in retaliation for the enactment and enforcement of a 2-cent fare law by the state of Nebraska and the ris ing tide of public Indignation was steadily mounting higher. The ex cuse of the railroad officials that the exclusion of local passengers from thlr trains was Inspired by a deslro to relievo those . trains from over crowding did not comport at all well with the simultaneous claim that the 2-cent faro law was making inroads on receipts from passenger travel. In soma eastern states limited train carry passengers only between certain destination points, but in such cases there are always other trains furnishing ample accommodations and convenient time schedule for the local traffic. On th other hand, with ex clusion from through trains local pas sengers oa the I' a ton Pacific la this state had no other suitable trains at their service and were thus left with out the train service to which they were entitled. The rescinded order ought never to have been Issued, but having been Is sued, Its prompt withdrawal is the best proof of good Intentions. IXLAXD W'ATKniVAits AXD CAXALS. A decided impetus will doubtless be given to the movement for the Im provement of the nation's Inland waterways by the meeting which will be held in the advancement of that cause at Memphis, beginning on Oc tober 4. President Roosevelt will be there and deliver an address, The governors of twenty states have prom ised to attend and representatives of the commercial bodies In all of the cities of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys will be present, the Importance of the questions to be discussed war ranting the large attendance and par ticipation in the deliberations of the meeting. Appropriations are needed for Improving the rivers of the west, and of the entire country, and It is ex-I pected and hoped that out of the Mem phis meeting will come some clearly defined plan of future action. The proposition of river Improve ment Is not new. The present enthusi asm over the Memphis meeting la. Res idents of river towns and cities have become arotlsed to the importance of regaining the prestige they enjoyed before the railroads came along to drive the steamboats Into practical re tirement. Back of this is the desire of the shippers for better and cheaper rates. Freight can be carried cheaper by water than by rail. So long as the railroads were able to handle the business offered, the river revival project was dormant, notwithstanding the railroad extortions In the matter of rates. Within the last few years, however, the railroads have" been un able to carry the merchandise offered for transportation and the situation shows little signs of early Improve ment. There is no question that relief is needed. The country Is becoming so large and Its business Is increasing so rapidly that the utilization of its waterways to a much greater extent Is an imperative need. The trade of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys is of vast Importance and growing greater each year, and provision must be made for its prompt and reasonable trans portation. ISVITB rOVR FRIKFDS. The annual fall festivities in honor of King Ak-Sar-Ben ara not officially designated as a home-coming . week, but the Ak-Sar-Ben parade ought none the less to be made an occasion ot family reunion and social entertain ment. There Is scarcely a family in Omaha which does not have relatives or friends within easy distance of the city. who' would avail themselves of an Invitation to combine a . visit homo with paying homage to King Ak-Sar-Ben. " , - Even after twelve successive years of experience with these beautiful pageants our own people do not yet fully realize the extraordinary attrac tiveness of the show and its wonderful superiority over the average run of street carnivals and parades put on in other cities. Ak-Sar-Ben fur.nlab.es free, or at nominal cost, a week's en tertainment for the city's guests which cannot be secured at any other place and which could sot be duplicated at any other time regardless ot expense. To make sure that guests come when bidden, an invitation should go out in ample time. In fact, for the coming occasion there Is not a mo ment to lose. If every family fn Omaha will entertain a friend or rela tive for carnival week the fall festivi ties of Ak-Sar-Ben XIII will far out shine all preceding efforts in point of success and lasting results. Competition for the coveted place on the State Board of Health has finally been closed by the selection of a secretary to succeed the outgoing member, but only after a fierce and protracted fight. Th? next legislature should not overlook The Bee's sugges tion that the way to stop these med ical squabbles Is to make the positions on the State Board, of Health purely honorary and to turn the fee's in to the state treasury where they belong. The railroads are talking about put ting up a fight against, the order of the South Dakota State Board ot Rail road Commissioners reducing passen ger fares from 8 cents to 2 cents a mile. The railroads would like to compromise on 2?,i rents in all the 2 cent fare states, but they have au idea that they must object to any and every reduction, no matter what or where. The Water board has not yet made public how much of the taxpayers' money will be turned over to the ex pert engineers as the price of the plans they are drawing for a 'new water works system. Neither have the expert, engineers Indicated that they are doing the work for nothing. Omaha's city councilmen who went to Norfolk as delegates to the League of American' Municipalities meeting enjoyed an oyster roast at Cape Henry.

Prophets Wlthont Honor at Home. New ,York Tribune. Mr. Peter Cooper Hewitt confided to a London correspondent the other day that "nothing like the coming presidential elec tion was ever seen In. the history of our country; its. effect, for good or for evil, will be greater than that of any past event In America." Mr. Hewitt also added that, although the Immense resources and com mercial enterprises . of the United States made utter ruin Impossible, yet "that Is the direction in which we are now going."

By a new law of the state of Illinois the cost of caring for insane persons not indi gent Is put upon the estates or the families of the insane. I'ntil now the public treasury has paid all expenses of Inmates of state In stitutions except where relatives have been willing to- pay for clothing. The new law,, In addition to removing the Insane from county almshouses, makes it the duty of the state commissioners of pub lic charities to collect from the estates or the families of the-Insane, where they are able to pay, the full cost of the maintenance of such patients. Special agents are to be appointed to perform the rork of collec tion, in order, that the relations between the superintendents and their patients may not be affected In any way by payment or nonpayment.. In only seven, states of the union is the whole cost of the maintenance of the in sane met by the state. In twenty-nine It is met by the family of the patient or by his estate whenever it is possible to collect anything. In four states patients are taken without regard to the financial condition of the family, but receive special privileges If paid for. In several state, especially at the south, patients with money are almost never sent to public Institutions, but cared for in private asylums. On the basis of the report of the Massa chusetts asylums, the Illinois commission ers estimate ie Income to be derived from paying patients in this state at STOO.OM. With the money additional facilities could be .provided and either a larger number of patients cared for or better treatment In sured. The principle Is to be applied to the asylums that those who can pay must help care for those who cannot. This course Is also in accorduuee with the older statute which provides that any person who Is un able to earn a living because of lunacy must be supported by his r.rarest relatives if they are capable. In Indiana the principle which lias been followed for three-quarters o a century 1s that the charitable Institution of the stale are on tha same basis as the public st-hools and should be supported by taxation with out regard to the question whether the tax payer hak a relative in them or not. In thla state there is felt to be a difference. It Is a benefit to the community to have all children on an equality in the public schools, and Invidious and harmful distinc tions might be made if some parents paid for their children and some did not. But no harm can result If the cost of keepmg tha Insane Is paid by. relatives who ran afford to pay. On the contrary, great good may result O PRESIDENTIAL FiniXO MXE sralatls( Largely of a Ueanorratlo ( hararter. Cincinnati Enquirer (Ind. dm.). There Is a good deal of speculative and some sensational matter In the newspa pers touching the nominations for presi dent next year. On either side thera la a fair neld of men who have "done some thing" that renders them worthy the highest executive honor; but there Is no settlement of the general Judgment, and the popular affections are still free. The commonly accepted opinion has been, for a long time, that President Roosevelt could have the republican nomination for the asking, or may be even forced to stand for another term; but tha bottom truth la that If the president shall not be nominated, or shall not secure .the nomination of Ms next political friend, there will be no rupture or revolt In th republican party on that account. Tito applause of tha multitude, In politics, arises more from excitement than from honest Judgment and unction. It is tha same way on tha democratic Side. The democratic party, as a wholo, will not fall Into the doldrums If William J. Bryan does not gain another nomina tion, though thousands of people are spy ing that tha prise Is his, without know ing clearly what they are talking about. If Mr. Bryan shall not be chosen by the national convention the democrats of thi country will quickly take up with soma other leadership and the Bryan badges of mourning will have but a Short tenure on democratic doorknobs just long enough to show the conventional respect for a man who did good and gallant ser vice, and arose. If not to office, to- the enjoyment of rich usufruct. Indeed, the official promotion of Colonel Bryan might lessen his thrift. The democratic party has been kind and generous to tha colo nel, and can drop him without offense, especially If the "dark horse" should turn out to be promising. Is the Democratic Party Hypnotised! Philadelphia Record (dem.) Senator Simmons says that If Mr. Bryan shall be a candidate before the next demo cratic convention he will "have the support ot the. North Carolina delegation, and prob ably most ot the southern delrgatea, with out serious opposition; most probably with out any opposition." But then the senator proceeds to say: "But while I feel sure North Carolina and the south generally would . support Mr. Bryan's candidacy, should he ask for the nomination, there Is a widespread hope in that section, shared by many of Mr, Bryan's warmest admlrera, that he will not be a candidate, but will lend his great in fluence to the selection of a ticket which will heal the factional breach In tha party." If the south thinks that Mr. Bryan had better not be nominated a third time, why on earth should it vote for him In conven tion? What has his desire for the nomina tion to do with it? One would suppose that tha party belonged to tha man from Ne braska, or that nominations were matters of courtesy; and, while tha south would prefer to vote for soma one else. Its ideas of politeness would' oblige It to vote for Mr. Bryan If he should appear as a candi date. . , . The party belongs to no man and the vitally important matter of a presidential nomination must not be determined .by considerations of etiquette. Democrats who W-tsh to see their party elect the next presi dent will hardly nominate Mr. Bryan a third time. If h fcould not succeed on the free silver Issue under the conditions that prevailed in 189S no one can Imagine his sucoeeding without that In 1908. . i Roosevelt's Fntare, ' Washington Post (tnd.) - Citizens and newspapers with nothing more Important on hand are Indulging In speculations, forecasts and prophecies, of the future of Theodora Roosevelt. To many minds the question, "What to do with Roosevelt?" is puzzling and insistent. The clairvoyance that seems to be the heritage of every native and naturalized American is exercised wltttx Industry and variety, giving these answers to tha mighty quel tion; Bend him to the senate. Make him prealdent of Harvard. He will become editor of tha New York Tribune. Let him go to Panama and dig the canal He Is to go around the world hunting big game and exploring. Make him proconsul of the Philippines. He wlll write history and works on na ture. Other suggestions and predictions, some of them of a frivolous nature, have been made, and as the months of the Roosevelt administration dwindle It is probable that the forecasts of his future will be as numerous and erroneous as weather fore casts In March. The many-sided Roosevelt furnishes food for speculation. Why should ha not become a greater Muldoon, utilizing his vast knowledge of athletics In building up the American physique? Or why should he not become the world's greatest ex plorer? Or, being the most successful peacemaker of modern times, why should he not preside at the International court of justice at The Hague? Being a sociolo gist of remarkable acuteness, why should he not organize benevolence on a gigantic scale, and do away with economic slavery, disease and crime In the great cities? Perhars, however. It will be better for speculation to wait upon politics, and bide the coming of the next republican national convention. Colonel Watterson's Dark Morse. Tha October American Magazine contains a remarkable character sketch of Henry Watterson's "dark horse," governor. John -A. Johnson of Minnesota. Colonel Waiter son has written a statement which forms tha Introduction to the article. It follows: "It happens that I hay known Governor Johnson for many years and have watched his career with Interest. He Is a most ex ceptional man both in character and abil ity; a ateady-golng, level-headed man, who thinks first and acts afterward; a man who docs things worth doing; nothing visionary or fantastic about him. H is aa typical an American in his personality. In his work lng methods and In hla mental processes and perspective as may be found among th rich progeny of the Sentch-Irlsh to which the country owes so much, being of Scandinavian origin, next after th Soo'ch- Irlsh high upon the racial honor roll whence we have drawn so many of our statesmen and soldiers. That means that he could not fall to prove, as he has already proven, a great 'vote-getter. He has not been mixed up In any factlcu fighting, lie comes from the right quarter. Even as Lin coln emerged from obscurity to take the helm, It seems to me thr.t this man m'ght, so like Lincoln in his simplicity and mod esty as well as his hard up-nlll anteceJent experiences. "That U all, but don't say I told you, be- cause I am wholly out of politics and much j out of favor, nor yet mautng presidents, so that my words might do Governor Johnson mora harm than good, in VLm event which I take leave to doubt that ha Is seriously thinking about being a candidate."

Kearney Hub: The Omaha Ree Is to be commended for protesting against ' pro posed concessions to gambling promoters during Ak-Sar-Ben week. The city of Omaha owes it to the many thousands of visitors from th outside to protect them from gambling sharks, grafters and other dlsreputabl characters.

There arc enough new voters whose ballot Is cast tha first time this, year, to turn the scale In Colfax county politics. If tha vote Is cast for a republicans Tho Sun will try and do Its part. Fellow republicans, will you do your part? Hastings Republican: In th east the people are pointing to Nabraska as an example of prosperity. How times and condition have changed! The Nebraska farmers are no longer th debt-burdened poepl they used to be. Possibly in no other stat In the Union are there pro portionately so large a number of the farmers well-to-do owners of their farms and beside wealthy In money and ma terial possessions. These are th times when the greater measure of prosperity 1s with the western farmers, who have the laugh on Wall street and the great con suming clsss in tha towns and cities. Grand Island Independent; The Lincoln correspondent of The Bee calls attention to the fact that the clerk of the supreme court is paid In fee and that these fees are of such an amount as to make the office on of the "fattest" In the state.
