Postmaster General Meyer, whd has
exprefteed his determination to place
the Postal department of the govern
ment on a strict business basis, Is Just
now confronted with a case that illus
trates the need ot reform and a cutting
away of some of the red tape that has
been used In the past to hamper busi
ness transactions in postal affairs.
Thomas Knotts is postmaster at Oary,
Ind. He was appointed when Oary
was a way station, supported by an
agricultural-community. The salary of
Ifee position was $90 a month, which
was adequate to all demands at the
time. But the Steel trust decided to
build a model manufacturing town at
Gar Thousands of men were sent to
the scene and the work of construction
commenced. The postal business took
a decided boom and Postmaster Knotts
found ha was compelled to employ
assistants. The clerical force now 'con-
at
slsts of four men, whose combined
salaries amount to $170 a month.
Postmaster Knotts has to pay them.
In other words, he Is paying out $80 a
month more for help than he Is receiv
ing. He has sought In vain to get the
Postofflce department at Washington to
change the classification of his office
and mako provision for the increased
business. Recently he sent word that
unless relief came at once he would
close up his office. He was promptly
Informed that if he did so he would be
subject to prosecution under the fed
eral law.
The postmaster general admits that
he can do nothing without action by
congress, although necessity has ex
isted for years for some provision in
the law authorizing the postmaster
general to meet emergencies such as
has arisen at Gary. The Postofflce de
partment is the one branch of the gov
ernment that Is a purely business in
stitution, and it would seem that such
Instances as that at Gary, should be
sufficient to Impel congress to take
Some action that would allow the in
jection of business methods Into the
postal service.

That portion of the west between the
Missouri river and the Pacific which
has suffered more than any other sec
tion of the nation from Indian massa
cres and uprisings will take a peculiar
interest in the tragedy, mixed with
farce features, that la about to be en
acted on the Cheyenne river, up in
South Dakota, the purpose of which Is
to teach the recalcitrant Utes that they
have come to the parting of the ways
and must either work for a living or
starve. There are 600 Utes in the
band. They were formerly stationed
In Utah, but did not like the country.
In their humble way they made it plain
that activity ot'the white man Jarred
on their sensitive natures. They ob
jected particularly to the noise of the
railway trains, the screech of the loco
motive whistles and the noises incident
to the mining Industry that was being
developed In close proximity to their
reservation. So they moved camp one
night and were eventually rounded up
and located on the Cheyenne river.
All they now ask is that they be amply
fed and comfortably clad by the gov
ernment and then let alone, , not. only
by the white man, but by tho machines
and the instruments of the white man's
industry. The government has decided'
tho the Utes must return to their
reservation and go to work.
Troops from four army posts have
been ordered to mtbWVte, preparatory
to enforcing the government's orders.
Among the Utes are probably not more
than 100 men who could be clashed as
warriors, and they would stand no
chance whatever in a conflict with the
white men. They will be c6mpelled.
therefore, to yield. It Is to be hoped
that this will be done without a con
flict, which would at the best be a
very one-sided affair. It is a little
taugn, however, particularly from the
standpoint of tho Ute, that, the Imperial
star of civilization has got so far to
ward tho west that there is left no
place where an Indian may be sup
ported at public expense and escape
from nolBe and work.
AMERICAN CITIZEXS ABROAD.
Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson
has postponed the commencement of
his war with Japan long enough to
read tho riot act to the administration
at Washington for Us "supine submis
sion" to tho action . of the Russian
authorities In arresting William Eng
lish Walllngs. an American cltlxen,
and his wife, on a suspicion of being
implicated in certain plots against the
safety of the, Russian ruler and th
Russian government. Captain Hoboon
Is convinced, according to his latest
utterance on the subject, that the
American government should have at
ouca sent a battleship to Russian
waters to demand the release of Wall
ings and his wife and to make humble
apology to the'Amerlcan nation and its
flag. Some of the democratic papers
are echoing the Hobsonlan utterance
and demanding reparation or gore.
Facts In the Waitings case, as
brought to light by the investigations
by the American ambassador at St.
Petersburg, show that the Russian au
thorities, were well within their rights
in causing his detention and In finally
ordering him to get out of the empire
without loss of time. It has been
clearly established that Walllngs and
his wife, who is a writer on socialistic
subjects, were on suspiciously friendl
terms with certain Russians wbo have
been identified with schemes and plots
falnst tho Russian government. It
was their privilege, of course, to make
such alliances, but they had no right
to rely upon their American citizenship
to protect them In tbelr doing. Th.
lows of Russia or any other country
are binding upon visitors and sojourn
ers as much as upon native citizens.
American citizenship Is a thing ot
value, but it cannot be used to condone
offenses aeslnst the laws of another
country. The Walllngs, under tha cir
cumstances, escaped lightly, and they
owe their release to the courtesy ot tho
Russian officials rather than to their
citizenship in this country. It is hoped
that Captain Hobson, after he learns
all the facts in the case, will change
his mind and refrain from declaring
war on Russia.
ANOTHER DlBtlT TBIMABf VICT0BT,
The long, fight for a direct primary
law in Illinois seems at last after many
ups and downs to have reached the
goal in the enactment of tho Oglesby
direct primary bill, providing for "tho
dlrectest kind of direct nominations."
The demand for direct primaries in
Illinois has had to meet the same
counter arguments and the same ob
structive tactics that have beset the
movement in other states, including
Nebraska, but the steady pressure of
public sentiment has again proved to
be all powerful.
' The Illinois primary law provides
for the nomination by direct plural
ity vote of all candidates for all elect
ive offices, and also of all the "mem
bers of every branch of the political
machinery of all parties. It follows
the Nebraska law In most respects,
excepting that the hours for open polls
are from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m., instead
of as here from 8 a. m. to 9 p. m. All
conventions of every sort are elimina
ted, the platforms being framed by
the committees in conjunction with
the candidates on the tickets. A vote
of preference for United States sen
ator may be taken when that office is
to bo filled by the succeeding legisla
tures and party affiliation must be de
clared subject to the penalty 'of ex
clusion from participation in the pri
mary. The weak spot In the Illinois direct
primary is that It calls upon the voters
to come out too often, Inasmuch as
four primaries are to be held each
year one for state tickets, one for
Judicial tickets and two for municipal
tickets. Direct nominations have
proved to be a good thing, but even a
good thing can be overdone The ad
dition of Illinois, however, to direct
nomination territory is important and
significant and strikingly marks the
rapid progress which Is being made by
this reform in our election machinery.
BFAlOEY FOB fiUERIFF.
Of all the candidates on all the
tickets before the voters of Douglas
county, there is not one who is so espe
cially fitted for the office he seeks as
Edward F. Bralley, the republican
nominee for sheriff. Mr. Bralley went
through a sharp preliminary contest
for the .nomination without encountering-a
singfe word derogatory to his
qualifications for the position.
As The Bee said at that time, In
physique he looks a sheriff, and by
his record as a public officer and as a
private citizen he promises-to make
good as sheriff In everyway. Mr.
Bralley has been identified with the
various organizations to build up
Omaha and in each one has been a
'pusher all the time. He is approach
able and popular, with one of the wid
est circles of personal acquaintances
of any man in the county. Above all,
he is clean, courageous and capable.
The handsome majority polled by
him at the primary attests the high
esteem in which Mr Bralley stands
with the voters of his own party. Noth
ing has been urged against him since
then, except that he has already been
accorded recognition by election as
coroner. The coronership, however, Is
an office of merely nominal compensa
tion. At best this objection would
come with poor grace from any one
speaking for his democratic opponent,
who is now drawing a salary as mem
ber of the city council, and who would,
If by chance elected, be in position to
follow the example of tho last demo
cratic city councilman elected to a
county office who held on to both
places and drew two public salaries at
once.
Aside from this, Mr Bralley meas
ures up in every way so much bigger
than his opponent that he ought to
have tho vote of everyone, Irrespective
of party, who wants efficiency and
good service In the sheriff's office.
Among other bond propositions
Omaha voters are asked to ratify is
one for $50,000 to buy playgrounds.
If there Is a child In Omaha who ever
suffered for lack of playgrounds, we
-would like to have him put on exhibi
tion. With front yards and back yards
to every house, commodious grounds
attached to every public school, parks
in convenient access, and vacant lots
all over the city, the necessity of buy
ing $50,000 worth of real estate for
playgrounds Is dim and distant.
The latest report Is that President
Roosevelt will stand for the United
States senate It Mr. Taft is elected
president, but will bold aloof from
politics if some "reactionary" Is
chosen. This would prove Interesting
were it not tor tha fact that Mr.
Roosevelt U bo constituted that he
would not think of keeping out of the
fight Just because some opponent to
his policies was in power. He likes a
fight too well for that.
Congressmen who are opposed to the
vndl&g of tho Atlantic squadron to
PAclflc waters threaten to refuse ap
propriations for the expenses of the
'iln. The president has the Joke on
juch members. Tho fleet has coal
enough to carry it to the Pacific, and
congress will have to decide whether
to leave It there or appropriate funds
to cover the cost of Its return. The
congressman who wants to get ahead
of the president will have to start out
of the canebrakeo a little earlier In
the morning.
Every man, woman and child living
In South Omaha who knows anything
about it knows that consolidation with
Omaha would be a godsend in unload
ing the bunch of grafters who have
been fattening out of the city treas
ury and eating up tho taxes. Consoli
dation could not make conditions In
South Omaha worse and must make
them better., The thing to do Is to
sing low and vote right.
President Roosevelt having called
attention to the fact that the constitu
tion pt Oklahoma does not prescribe
what klKd of tooth powder the citizens
ot the new state shall use, United
States Senator-Elect Owen hastens to
apologize for the oversight and prom
ises the defect shall be remedied by
legislative enactment. Tho now state

Mr. Fairbanks has denied officially
that he has dropped out of the presi

A blow would appear to hava been atruck
at that species of bank control which does
not carry with it a sufficient Investment
of their .own f unda by the controlling In-
tereats to make them keenly anxious for
i the use by their Institution of wise bank
ing practices,, but is secured by hypothe
catloa of tha shares of each bank of tha
ebain at soma other of tha allied ones. If
this expedient for control lias bean forever
discredited, ona good score should ba
marked down to tha credit of the present
New York Clearing House committee.
Wa shall be much surprised, however, if
that ba tha only large reault of the meth
ods which have brought the conduct of
these New York banks to publlo attention.
The real root of the evils now brought to
light la to be found deeper down than In
the personality of tha men In whose hands
these banks very nearly came to grief or
In the Ingenious system of chain control
by which they operate. It really Is due
to the non-exlstenca among our people ot
a correct conception of the poat which

popular notion that ha la a bualneaa man

popular demand that ha look upon hla work

requlrementa of profesalonal conduct.

New York Evening Poat. October 3K.
That which hath been Is that which shall
be, and that which hath been dona la that
which shall ba done, and there la no new
thins under the Bun. This saying;, uttered
soma 1,000 or 8,000 years ago by a per
son not at all conversant with financial
markets, probably sums up, mora con
cisely than any remark by contemporary
observers of affairs could do, tha convlc
tlona of most people as to the financial
situation of tha day. Tha "boam" of
the eighties waa In. many regards a differ
ent and very much bigger thing than the
"boom" of ths later sixties and earlier
seventies, and It made the "boom" of the
fifties look provincial. The fundamental
facts were, however, exactly tha sama In
each, and they era repeated In 190L This
waa the basis for tha prediction by a few
calm observers, six yeara ago, that tha
real phenomena of the day when tha reck
oning came would alao duplicate tha past.
If tha "twenty-year-cycle" theory Is cor
rectand there, is abundant reason for
trusting It the markets ara not now con
fronted with a depression of mora serious
sort. That should ba due, by tha calendar,
some time around 1913, and this Is a fact
over which business men in general may
take heart. Between this week's events
and thoae of 1893, for instance, there Is a
minimum of resemblance. Tha crisis of
that year waa accompanied and preceded
by collapse of tha underlying props of tha
whole financial situation, by threatened re
pudiation of cold payments by tha treas
ury, collapse of the public revenue, heavy
shrinkage in profits In every aort of In.
dustry, and widespread doubt aa to tha
country's future. Clearly, this week's sit
uation is no duplication of 1893.
Probably tha majority of old time Wall
street men, last Wednesday, would have
It that tha scenes of that exciting day
closely resembled 1SS4. Stocks had been
falling almost continuously, since tha end
of 1883. and the markets for money and
exchange had been exceedingly unfavor
able. Public confidence in certain high
financiers and railway magnates had been
seriously shaken; yet no very profound
unsettlement had occurred. On the Ith of
May, the failure of Grant A Ward, a firm
made up of General Grant, his sons, and
a young adventurer in whom they had con
fided, startled the whole community
especially when Its 120,000,000 liabilities
were found to bV backed by practically no
assets, and when the Marine bank on the
same day closed its doors because of. Its
president's entanglements with vard.
The public and the market received thla
shock with what looked In retrospect like
composure In this resembling last week's
reception of the Mercantile bank develop- .
ments. What did occur, however, was a '
J general turning of bank directors to the
) Investigation of their own and affiliated
i Institutions, again much like what occurred
at this week's opening. On May 14, this
urgent searching disclosed two startling '
facts that the president of the Second Na-
tlonal had stolen Its securities for use In I
personal speculation, and that ths presi-
dent of the Metropolitan National had so
far Improperly placed Its resources In se
curities of a southern railway system un
der his control that it was no longer sol
vent. What happened next was a still closer
duplication of what has occurred this
week. A run on other banks began: de
positors hoarded money; In the resultant
general panic, a good part of Wall street
failed to get loans at any price. At one
hour on that panto day, 4 per cent was
bid and paid on the Stock exchange for
use of a not very enormous sum of money
during the twchty-foUr next hours which
was equivalent tq an annual rate of no
less than 1,440 per cent. Despite this
extraordinary bid. Interior banks took
fright. Their withdrawals of cash, with
the hoarding by depositor which went on
simultaneously, cut down cash holdings of
the New York banks from 185,900,000 on May
10 to $07,600,000 on May 21.
If, then, the New York bank panic of 1884
provides the closest analogy In our history
to the events of the present week. It will be
Interesting to see by what means the situa
tion of that year righted Itself, how soon
the danger passed, and what the sequel
was. In. the first place, the New York
clearing house banks agreed to' pool their
assets, Issued (26.600,000 loan certificates to
banks In Its membership whose cash re
serve had been exhausted, and agreed to ac
cept such certificates from one another In
payment of dally balances at tha clearing
bouse. At the same time, within two day
of the severest strain, Europe became a
heavy buyer of our-stocks at tha bargain
prices. Exchange on London, which had
been ruling above 4.88, and compelling gold
exports from New York, fell abrutly to 4.13,
the gold-Importing point; within a week
gold was on Its way to America from Ger
many and England, and what was of even
mora importance, Europe took over, in
great quantity, tha loans of tha New York
banks. On Saturday, May ft, the New York
banks reported a deficit In reserves of
W.eoo.OOO; It was reduced to Jl.800,000 tha en
suing week; on June 7 the surplus was re
stored, and by July it had risen to
800,000. In June call money ruled at 4 per
cent, or lower, time loans at E and per
cent, and the Wall street strain was over.
What followed later? A quiet financial
summer, largely due to the very bitter
presidential contest, yet with a vigorous
rise on the Stock exchange even In July.
In 1885, following a period of abundant New
York bank reaervea and of call money rates
as low as one-half of 1 per cent, during
seven successive months, a great recovery
ensued, with all tha world once more watch
ing the signs of American prosperity.

SOLIDITY OF THE WEST.
A Leaeoa for GamhllatT ssl Freasle

Chicago Record-Herhld.'
All the financial editorials, Intervlewa
and news articles of the New York news
papers hava pointed to th soundness and
strength of "th west" as tha greatest of
all the grounds for publlo confidence. "The
west Is prosperous," "the west Is serene
and quiet and busy," ar among tha
phrases that, like a recurrent refrain, have
been used hundreds of times In the east
ern press during th last; several days.
And there Is no doubt whatever that tha
reference to the west ha carried reassur
ance and cheer to men who might hava
become seriously alarmed by the flurries
In Wall street.
The west will note these appeal to it
genuine, solid strength, to Its real pros
perity a prosperity based on labor and
its results, on honest and prudent banking
and business methods, on production and
commerce. It hopes that Wall street and
Ita organs In New York will remember
these spontaneous and eager references to
conditions In Chlcsgo, In other grain cen
ters and great markets, and take to heart
the lessons of the contrast between the
methods that save and the methods that
endanger and destroy prosperity.
' Stock gambling, "chains of banks"
started by and for manipulators and reck
less borrowers, Juggling with securities,
illegal loans, loose and vicious financiering
these are the things that caused tha Wall
street slumps and collapses. The relief and
salvation, on the other hand, have come
from men and principles that represent
work, savings and honest Investment, care
ful methods of using credit. Intelligent and
conservative application of capital to new
enterprises.
When in the future the west rebukes
stock gambling and reckless Inflation, It
will behoove the gentry In and around Wall
street to display humility and a willingness
ta learn and profit by sound advice. The
gambling and frensled financiers who hava
been in the habit of sneering at tha ignor
ance and slowness of tha west and its fail
ure to appreciate the beauties of. windy
speculation, should sing small after thetr
recent experiences.
