THE YEAR'S CROrS.
Tho October crop report by the De
partment, of Agriculture gives prac
tically the harvest figure of the corn
crop and flxeg to a reasonable cer
tainty the estimate of the wheat crop.
on which the department made several
varying reports during the Bummer.
The exceeding hot weather of Septem
ber caused a loss of some 30,000,000
bushels of corn, and the department
places the final yield at 2,665.298,000
bushels, or about 30,000,000 bushels
less than last year's crop.
The final estimate of the wheat crop
Is placed at 669,000,000 bushels, a de
crease of 30,000,000 bushels from the
June estimate. The final yield Is some
30,000,000 bushels larger than last
years record, but is sun far oeiow
the crop of 1906 and Is less by from
10,000,000 to 35,000,000 bushels than
the crops of three years since 1900.
With the yield pretty accurately
determined It is an easy matter to fig
ure the farm value of these cereals,
the result showing that the farmers
will make more money with their crops
this year than ever before. This is
assured by the condition of the Eu
ropean grain crops. The European
wheat production will be at least 35,-
000,000 bushela below that of last year
and the Argentina crop is much .less.
The demand for American grain for
export will be unprecedented and the
prices, accordingly, will continue to
rule high for at least another year. '
NEW TRANSPORTATION SECURITIES.
James J. Hill stated some time ago
that the transportation interests of
the country would- require at least,
f 1,000,000,000 a year" in improvements
and extensions for the next ten years
to care for the increasing business, and
Mr. Yoakum of the Rock Island more
recently placed the estimate of needs
in that direction at $600,000,000 a
year. The returns for the nine months
ending with September show Mr. Hill's
estimate to be nearer correct, at least
so far as the present year is concerned.
Since January 1 the railroad and trac
tion companies alone have issued se
curities aggregating ' $754,000,654,
with plans for other Issues to be made
after election that will probably bring
the year'a total up to a round billion of
dollars. The Issues of railroad securi
ties to date are about $80,000,000 in
excess of last year'a record for the
Fame period and there has been a
change in the form of securities, the
present year's issues being largely in
stocka and bonds and not in the short
term notes so popular last year. This
has been due to the fact that within
the last four or five months there has
been plenty of money available for
stock and bond Investments, making
unnecessary the high interest rates
which the roads had to pay for tem
porary loans for immediate use. The
Issues that have been made .during (he
present year are for permanent equip
ment, extensions and betterment.
While the issues of railroad securi
ties are larger than last year the in
dustrial issues show a marked de
crease the total for the nine months
ending with September- being but
$294,630,000, as against $519,199,000
for the corresponding period of 1907.
The Industrial corporations borrowed
lavishly last year in order to keep pace
with the inordinate trade expansion.
but the collapse of the inflation
brought so violent a check upon busi
ness that the demands for new 'capital
this year have been very light. In both
railroads and industrials, however, the
issues offered have been promptly
taken by investors, indicating an
abundance of money and a return of
normal business conditions.
TISANCINQ VEEP WATERWAYS.
The striking difference between Mr.
Ttft and Mr. Bryan in their mental
grasp of great problems and their abil
ity to outline plans for immediate and
future action in dealing with large un
dertakings was strikingly illustrated
at the meeting of the Lakes to the Cult
Waterways association in Chicago re
cently. Mr. Bryan, in discussing his subject,
made one of his spread eagle speeches,
In which he showed that he had not
considered the question In any broad
manner and had no real conception of
It. He brought rounds of cheers by
declaring that if a twenty-two-foot
channel from the lakes to the gulf was
a good thing, why not make it twenty
four or twenty-five feet, as the country
could not have too much of a good
thing. He declared that the "cost is
a secondary consideration" and that
he did not care whether the expend i
ture cauea tor ouu,uuv,uuo or
$1,000,000,000, or any other amount
the money should be appropriated, as
the returns would amply justify the
expenditure.
It is a simple matter to urge the ap
proprlation of millions for waterway
or any other purpose, but the people
should not allow their enthusiasm for
waterways to blind them to the dange
of wasting public- funds or crippling
the public credit by incurring a big
debt unnecessarily. The work of deep
ening our great central waterways and
of connecting the lakes with the gulf
Is as vitally important as it has been
represented to be, but care should be
taken against a frantic financial policy
that would produce a disaster greater
than the benefits to be derived from
the river improvement.'
The work cannot be done in a day
and the appropriation for it cannot and
thould not be made in a lump. Or
derly and persUtent diligence' for a
long term of years, reasonable and
sane appropriations' from year to year
as the work progresses, will stimulate
activity, produce the desired rvsulta
and save the country from the, debt
burden that would be' Incurred if Mr.
Bryan's headlong plan were followed.
Mr. Taft set the matter very clearly
when he declared that no project
rhould be undertaken and no plan ap
proved until it had been carefully con
sidered, the coat weighed and, the feasi
bility and usefulness of the project
fully demonstrated. In ' this' connec
tion he said:
When the. elocution of a proJet line been
determined upon It should "be carried to
rompletlon as rapidly as possible so that
the people's Investment may be made .to
bring return at the earliest possible mo
ment. 8om steps toward a new departure
In river and harbor Improvement are ap
parent In the river and harbors bill passed
by the Fifty-ninth congress, wherein prto
vlslon is made for the completion of a much
largtT proportion of projects than In any
previous measure. Perhaps tho greatest
influence toward the framing of a broad
fend comprehensive policy of river and har
bor Improvement Is being exerted by the
National Rivera and Harbors congress, of
which your association la a member, and
whose motto is "A policy, not a project."
REASSCR1NQ FlGVRES.
Some statistics furnished In a re
cent bulletin issued by the comptroller
of the currency throw an Interesting
light upon the effect of the panic on
savings bank depositors. The records
show that the working people consti
tute the majority of the savings banks
depositors and the comptroller's report
furnishes evidence that the depression
has been met by this class without
causing any considerable draft on the
amount laid aside for the rainy day.
According to the bulletin, the
shrinkage in the savings banks de
posits throughout the country, from
June 80, 1907, to June 30, 1908, was
less than four-fifths of 1 per cent. The
savings banks of New York showed a
loss of 1.2 per cent. In Ohio and In
diana the loss was trifling, while in all
the states west of the Missouri the de
posits were stationary or showed a
gain. The loss in Illinois was 7 per
cent. Pennsylvania gained 1 per cent
nd Massachusetts nearly 2 per cent,
while the total number of depositors
n the country actually increased dur
ing the Bame period.
USEFUL OR ORNAMENTAL.
The people of Omaha and the Sec
ond Nebraska district are again called
pon to say whether they want a con
gressman to represent them at Wash
ington who will be really useful or
solely ornamental.
Our present democratic congress
man, although two terms in Washing
ton, has fully demonstrated that he
belongs to the class of ornamentals.
He has not been able to accomplish
anything for his district that would
not have been accomplished by any
messenger boy, but, on the contrary,
when opportunity presented to get ap
propriations in which his constituents
were interested he is reliably reported
to have been unable to influence even
the committeemen of his own minority
party.
Sending a congressman to Washing
ton to represent this district, who
would be in accord with the repub
lican majority and who would work
with the potential leaders of the bouse,
would give us a man there who could
be useful as well as ornamental.
The republican nominee for con
gress, A. W. jenens, is in ciose toucn
with all the varied Interests of the peo
ple of this district, and even as a pri
vate citizen has proved his usefulness
to the business community and the
public generally. He has the well
deserved reputation of being a pusher
all the time and at Washington would
not let the needs of Omaha and the
Second district be overlooked.
The funniest thing of all is tho pre
dlcament in which two of our demo
cratic candidates for the state senato
find themselves on the home rule
proposition. The 1897 charter, which
re-established the governor-appointed
police commission, was Introduced,
sponsored and put through the lcgls
lature by the very men who now want
to be sent back to undo their own
work.
Omaha has been fortunate in its
small list of automobile accidents, but
that is no reason why we should not
Insist on all necessary precautions to
insure safe auto driving. The Bee's
oft-repeated objection to permitting
children to drive these high-power ma
chines Bhould be made effective by
legal regulations.
Dr. Mary Walker insists that tuber
culosis comes from tobacco smoke and
Dr. Robert Sanglovannl declares with
equal emphasis that it is caused by
tight corsets. As long as these doc
tors disagree women who never smoke
and men who never wore a tight cor
set in their lives will go right on hav
ing tuberculosis.
Herman Rldder, the new treasurer
of the democratic national committee
declared in an interview last January
that "Bryan Is an unsafe and erratic
man and should not bo trusted with
the management of this nation of many
millions of people. I am convinced
that Mr. Bryan cannot Carry a single
northern state."
If the grand jury will study its
geography it will discover that Doug

The New York Tribuue expresses
surprise that General E. Burd Grubb
of Spanish-American war fame thould
turn un as a candidate for congress on
the democratic ticket. The real mat
ter of surprise is that Grubb should
turn up at all.
The business barometer iu Omaha
shows up as well, it not better, thau
in most of the commercial centers of
our class. With such a start on th
road to prosperity Omaha should lake
o chances in a setback by voting for
change.
Colonel Sidney Tapp, the candidate
of the liberal parly for president of the
nited States, "positively refuses to
discuss the political situation." The
colonel is evidently figuring on being
elected without letting the voters
now it.
The supreme court has held that the
omlnatlon for coroner In Douglas
county belongs legally to the candi
date who had the highest vote on the
face of the returns. These election
contests seldom pan out;
While Mr. Bryan Is talking publicity
of campaign contributions, why not
make an accounting of that $15,000 of
Ryan money handed over to Brother-ln-Law
Tom Allen In 1904 just as an
evidence of good faith?
Of course the democrats do not con
cede, that Nebraska is in the slightest
degree . doubtful. Mr. Bryan is de
voting three days of his time and ora
torical talents to his home state simply
to keep in exercise.
Mr. Bryan had to put in a special

Ninety thousand ' more freight cars than
had been Idle we're put to work during the
month of September owing to the moving of
tha crops. The number of cars idle on Sep
tember 30 amounted to 133,702, but by com
parison there were 413,000 Idle the last of
April. Are the railroads really faring so
badly as they profess when they are
arguing for higher freight rates?
DEL A Y AND DK.MAL OK JISTICE.
a Issne of Vital Importance Too
Mark Neglected.
New York World.
In his Chicago Chamber of Commerce
speech Mr. Taft said that tho delays in the
administration of Justice and "the inequal
ity between the poor and the rich" need
reform more than any other existing
wrong.
Mr. Taft Is right In the vital Importance
which he attaches to this almost neglected
Issue. Delay in justice Is in many cases
equivalent to- a denial of Justice. In
equality In the administration of Justice is
worse than no administration, for legally
sanctioned Inequality Is the worst injustice.
This Is even more a state Issue than a
national issue. The calendar In the state
courts is more dilatory than In tho n
tlonal courts. The 80-cent gas case, which
began a little more than two years ago,
appears today on the calendar of the su
preme court of the United Btates. It took
twice as long for the special franchise case
which originated In the state courts, to
reach it final decialon, and the litiga
tion for Us enforcement Is still pending
with more than 130,000,000 unpaid taxes, the
accumulation of nine years, awaiting ju
dicial enforcement.
In the county of New Tork the calendar
of the supreme court has on it 7,000 cases,
the accumulation of years. Had not plain
tiffs tiled or their money been exhausted
through the law' delays the cases would
be thousands more.
Aa Mr. Taft says, this system results "In
the unequal burden which th delays and
expenses of litigation Impose on the poor
litigants."
A rich man, a big corporation, a high
financier, find no difficulty in paying their
lawyers' bills and court costs, In taking
several appeals, in arguing dilatory mo
tions, in prolonging trials and In clogging
court calendars. When they have com
mitted an act of Injustice they rely on the
law' delay aa part of their assets In
financial crimes.

"Unprecedented" Is the only word that
pictures the depresdlon In political betting
circles In New York City, where once upon
a time, and not very long ago,' betting on
election results was as open and active a
dealings on 'change, now there la nothing
doing day or night In the former way.
Some buslncs la reported on the quiet, and
It Is kept very quiet, lest some Insinuating
law officer gobbles the atakes and stake
holder. A former stakeholder at the Hoff
man house observed to an Interviewer that
" the melancholy days" have come to stay
In the betting business, and he Is not tak
ing any stakes or chances with the law
this jear. "In the old. days," he Says,
"bettera would work me to death. I have
taken in as much as MOO.OOO or NOO.tmo a
night here for several nights In election
bets. I used to stand behind tho cigar
counter, have a policeman on each side of
me, and take In the money as fast as 1
could write out the wager slips for the
betters. I never had time to even look, up;
did not even write the names of the bet
ters; Just gave them the slips on a stub
book that was all numbered. Each bettor
got a slip, I kept one, and there was the
stub. When It came to paying off they
presented me the slip they had. I saw that
it corresponded with the stub In the book
and with my slip and paid out the money.
It came so fast I had no time to put It
away In a drawer of any place. I Just
swept It off the top of tho cigar case and
let it fall on the floor at my feet. That
space back of the cigar stand was filled up
with money. I stood In It piled around me
up to my waist. There were 160 bills, $100
bills. $500 bills, $1,000 bills by the hundred.
"When I was finally through for the
night a couple of the hotel help would
come down with two great big hampers
made of steel, a little larger than those
big hampers bakers used to carry bread
around In their wagons. They had a steel
top with a heavy lock on It.
"I would stand there and watch them
pick all that money tip and crowd It Into
those hampers, pressing It down to make
It all go in. Then the lid was shut down
and I'd lock It and take it up to the pro
prietor's room, where we sat up all night
sorting out the bills of various denomina
tions. After it was all sorted It was
counted. Then I counted my stub book
and made everything agree before I went
to bed.
Policemen stood guard over those bia
hampers full of money until the bank
opened next morning and we'd take it over
there and deposit. I want to say that no
man ever worked harder in his life than
I worked those last few days before an
election."
An Interesting state nt affair, i. ..i.t
ing in New York. The requisitions this
year for the various departments total
$300,000,000, and a delegation of ancrv tax
payers swarmed Into the city hall to de

GOLD DUST works in an entirely different
way instantly and totally dissolves in hot or cold,
hard or soft water and, without any aid from
you, starts to cleanse.
GOLD DUST is more than soap-better and
more economical. It is a powder of magic power
but rightly directed power, that leaves the wash
white, sweet, wholesome.
Use your brains, not
your muscle I
Throw away your
soap, get GOLD DUST,
and simply use it accord
ing to the directions on
the package.

Bold Challenge of tioveruor Hughe to
III Ooponeat.
Chicago News.
Mr. Hughes, as a candidate for re-elec
tion as chief executive of the state of
New York,.! threatened with defeat by
powerful Interests because of certain com
mendable things which he has done In of
fice. He meets the attack with character
istic frankness. In a public address the
other day he said:
"When I wa nominated for governor I
nailed my flag to the mast, and there It has
been floating ever since. It stood for fa
vors to none and Justice to all. It stood
against every ' form of special privilege
at the expense of the public welfare. It
stood against every effort to pervert the
machinery of government to selfish pur
poses. AS soon as I was inducted into ot
flce I prepared a plan for the effective
regulation of our public service corpora
tions, to prevent depredations and finan
cial freebootlng. Today the reactionary
forces of New York everybody that is de
sirous of having license to prey upon the
people are trying to down me and rebuke
my administration. If. after the toil and
work of the last two years, it is possible
succeasfully to asperae my motive and of
ficial action, then there 1 no ubo trying
to serve the people."
It Is refreshing to find a man in public
office who can make such a declaration
with full confidence that Its truth cannot
be called in question. If there Is any man
In public llf today who has stuod con
sistently for broad public rights as against
all form of special privilege that man 1
