ISITAy EXTRAORD1XART ttCCAStOSf
The authority of the governor to
tall the leglslsture In special session
in Nebraska is derived from the follow
ing section of the state constitution:
The governor may, on extraordinary oc
casions, convene the legislature by procla
mation, stating therein the purpose for
which they are convened, and the legisla
ture Khali enter upon no business except
that for which they were called together.
The Inquiries sent by Governor Shel
don to members of the outgoing legis
lature proceed on the assumption that
an "extraordinary occasion" will be
presented, providing a sufficient num
ber of members Indicate their willing
ness to vote fof the proposed prohibi
tion law, but that no "extraordinary
occasion" will be presented if a ma
jority of the members indicate their
opposition to such a law.'
The fact is, of course, that nothing
has occurred since the last sitting of
the legislature to change the situation
in Nebraska with reference to liquor
legislation. The only thing that has
occurred of extraordinary character
has been the election by the people of
a democratic governor and legislature
to take the rerns of state government
after the beginning of the new year.
How this Justifies the resort to the sel
dom used prerogative of the governor
to convene the legislature in special
session to enact a law which the law
makers freshly commissioned by the
people not only would not enact, but
might repeal, is not evident on the sur
face. If the transfer of political control
from one party to another furnishes an
"extraordinary occasion" within the
purview of the constitution we are
likely to have special sessions of the
legislature every time a governor falls
of re-election
CA BIKE T-UA K 1XG.
The election of Mr. Taft will doubt
less bring about a large number of
changes In the personnel of official
Washington and newspaper corre
spondents and polltlcans are already
busy with speculation as to the next
president's cabinet and his selections
for important positions in the federal
service. Although one republican ad
ministration succeeds another there is
always a large percentage of office
holders who separate themselves from
official life with each succeeding ad
ministration and the certainty of these
changes opens a wide opportunity to
"mention" the names of republicans
who are fitted, or whoso friends think
they are, for Important places in the
government official family.
It Is safe, however, to reject these
hand-made cabinets, as they appear
from time to time, as unofficial, until
an announcement comes direct from
Mr. Taft and that announcement need
not be expected for some time. There
is no occasion for hurry In the matter,
while there Is much reason for care
and thought In the selection of the
new members of the cabinet when he
becomes president. Mr. Taft will be
faced by big tasks. Backed by an
overwhelming vote of confidence in the
Roosevelt policies, for which he stands,
Mr. Taft must select his aids and make
his plans to carry out the work of ad
ministration in accord with the trust.
To do this, he must have a cablnetiin
entire harmony with him.
No' one doubts Mr. Taft's full ap
preciation of the duty and responsibil
ity that will come to him when bs en
ters the White House as the nation's
chief executive and no one doubts that
he will meet them Just as he has met
every other public duty and responsi
bility, with credit to the country and to
himself. Fortunately for him, he has
a wealth of splendid material in his
party from which to select his cabinet
and high officials and that his selec
tions will bb made wisely is a foregone
conclusion.
THE FIGHT OX TWO CEXT FARE.
Keen local interest will be taken In
the progress and result of the case now
on hearing In the federal court at Kan
sas City, In which the Missouri rail
roads are trying to show that the 2
cent fare law of the state should be set
aside as confiscatory. The situation
in Nebraska Is more or less similar to
that in Missouri, as the laws are prac
tically Identical and the railroads are
using the same argument In both
states for the overthrowing of the state
enactments.
The Missouri hearing Is being held
at this time in compliance with an
agreement entered Into some time aio
by which the roads decided to take no
action in the courts until It could be
shown by actual operation whether the
reduced rates were really detrimental.
The roadB will present the detailed re
port of their earnings to the court with
tne claim that they have not been able
to operate at a profit.
The roads hive apparently chosen
an opportune time to make their show
ing. Transportation companies have
suffered, with all other Hues of indus
trial and commercial activity, In the
general depression that has prevailed
throughout the country for about a
year. But if the railroads show from
their books that they have not been
able to make a profit out of their
passenger traffic during the period the
new law has been In effect, this will
hardly be accepted as a fair test. If it
could be shown that the railroads have
suffered a loss correspondingly greater
than that experienced in other lines of
business, the fact . would strengthen
their claim, but the records do not
show that the railroads are in any such
position. The Commercial and Finan
cial Chronicle of New York, which de
motes much space and attention to rail
road earnings, in its Issue of October
84. contains a compilation of returns
for Auguft which shows that the earn
ings of the roads of the country are
very rapidly getting back to normal
and tbat the loss for the year, to Ses
.euiber 1, on all roads, is about 3 ptr
cent, still leaving a margin of profit
for operation. In many cases, losses
in gross earnings have gone into gains
In net. The Chronicle says:
Among conspicuous c"-e of this kind
may be mentioned the Southern railway,
which, while having sustained $824,404 de
crease In gross, reports $2f5,ZtO Increase In
het; the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fa, with
S50J.674 decrease In gross, has 1417,104 In
crease In net; the Southern Faclflc, while
having $1,623,440 loss In gross, has $106,078
gain In het; the T'nlon Pacific, with a small
decrease In gross ($33,041), has no lass than
$$1,138 Increase In net. We might also men
tion the Rock Island lines, which, com
bined with the St. Louis & San Francisco
and Chicago tt Eaatcrn Illinois, though hav
ing fallen $1,017.2,18 behind in gross, are a
trifle ahead In their net. There are nu
merous other cases where, while large
losses In gross have not been entirely
wiped out, they have been nearly so.
These recorded figures show that
the railroads, for the most part, are
making good money. Preliminary re
turns for September Indicate a marked
revival of business with a cheering
prospect that the transportation com
panies will soon be back to their record-breaking
earnings of 1906 and the
early part of 1907, proof that they
have, In fact, suffered no more heavily
than other enterprises.
TS KILLtXO OF CA RMACK.
The sensational shooting affray at
Nashville, resulting In the killing of
former United States Senator Edward
Carmack, appears in the light of re
ports at hand to have been little short
of cold-blooded murder and the logical
result of the era of disregard for the
law which prevails In many of the
Southern states.
The ostensible excuse for the assault
upon Mr. Carmack was ur editorial in
the paper of which he was editor, pok
ing fun at Major Cooper, the head of
the local democratic machine. Only
a supersensitive person could find
cause for even slight offense In the
published words, which were in light,
flippant and slightly sarcastic vein.
The one unprejudiced eye-witness to
the tragedy, a woman, testifies that the
rush was made, on Mr. Carmack by
Cooper and his son while Mr. Carmack
had his hat raised in his pistol hand
In greeting to her. This testimony
would seem to thoroughly destroy the
claim of the Coopers that the killing
was done in self-defense.
'Mr. Carmack was one of the bright
minds of Tennessee. He had been
trained in the newspaper school, had
served his state four years in the na
tional house and six years In
the United States senate. In both
branches of congress he. made a repu
tation as a keen, forceful man, a bril
liant speaker and an entirely lovable
person. His death, in the full tide of
his manhood, is made the more deplor
able by the damnable method of his
taking off.
THE BVSIXESS REVIVAL. ,
Promises of a revival in business
and the industries in case of the elec
tion of Mr. Taft have been succeeded
by concrete orders in the form of ful
fillment. The American business com
munity has a habit of fixing a specific
time for the resumption of full activity
and prosperity. This year that date
was fixed as "after the election" and
commercial reports show conclusively
that many contingent orders that were
placed before the election and many
others that were deferred pending the
result, are now coming In.
"Hie United States Steel corporation
has begun work on large orders which
were placed contingent on Taft's elec
tion and Is now busy with total con
tracts calling for about 4,000,000 tons
of steel.
The Westlnghouse concern has JuBt
closed a contract for work In New York
amounting to $5,000,000 which was
placed contingent on Taft's election.
The General Electric company has
closed a contract for water power de
velopment In California costing $5,000
000. Two big thread mills at Newark, N.
J., employing 5,000 men, have started
on full time.
The American Nut and Bolt com
pany of Pittsburg has added 800 men
to Its force and has increased wages 20
per cent '
The price of steel rails has been re
duced from $28 to $24 a ton and the
Erie, New York Central and Baltimore
& Ohio have placed large orders. The
Milwaukee has ordered, fifty additional
engines and several companies that
had their sidetracks filled with Idle
cars a few months ago are now order
ing new cars to care for the traffic in
sight.
An eminent citizen who recently ran
for the presidency stated in a speech
during the campaign that the factories
and mills tbat were starting up were
doing so for the purpose of carrying
out "a transparent political trick," but
the cold facts appear to be that the
factories and mills are rapidly getting
back fo full working capacity In recog
nition of the fact that confidence has
been restored and the . country's de
mands will soon restore the industries
of the nation to their normal activities.
Every state institution In Nebraska
Is asking for more money for the next
blennlum than it ever bad before. The
Incoming democratic administration
will have to get buBy if It expects to
make good on its promises of reduced
expenses of government and lower
taxes.
Mayor Jim reminds us that several
other distinguished Nebraska demo
crats, including "Bill" Oldham, C. J.
Smyth and William Jennings Bryan,
made speeches for the democratic
ticket In states that went overwhelm

Councilman Bedford threatens to
hold over as member of the city coun
cil after he takes his place on the
county board unless a successor is
u.reed upou entirely satlufactory to
him. Mr. Bedford nped not go outside
of the present council to find demo
cratic precedent for holding two public
Jobs at once. .
It seems that some of the very folks
who "put the brewers out of politics"
In Nebraska by enacting the Gibson
law and the Sackett law are now blam
ing the brewers for their political mis
fortunes. If the police board experiences no
embarrassment in appropriating $4,000
for permanent Improvements and fix
tures at the new city Jail the police
fund cannot have been cut very close
to the garment when the tax levy was
made.
"Sunny Jim" Sherman has made a
record as a successful business man.
His election cost him $2,800, while his
salary will be $12,000 a year for the
next four years, leaving him a nice
margin of profit on the investment.
There Is some conflict of evidence
and opinion as to whether Mr. Cleve
land wrote that letter, but It certainly
forecasted the result of the election
with Mr. Cleveland's prophetic vision.
A German steamship company has

Mr. Bryan made a speech to what is
called by the New York Sun "a bevy of
thlry democrats" at Fairview on the
thirty democrats" at Fairview on the
his gratification at the results In his own
state, and declared that the disappointment
he experienced because of the national
defeat was relieved somewhat by the re
flection that there were "so many th'ngs
to ooneole us." "I hope .that I have
convinced my friends," he said, "that run
nlng for office has only been an Incident
In my work." Would It not have been
more accurate If Mr. Bryan had said
that his work , was only an Incident of
tils running for office? It looks to us as
if he had the cart before the horse.
MEASURING THIS LANDSLIDE.
Meaning; of tne Returns from a Demo
eratio Standpoint.
New York World.
In 1986 Mr. Bryan waa defeated by a
popular plurality of 601,864. In 1890 he was
defeated by a popular plurality of 849,790.
This year the popular plurality against him
runs upward of 1,100,000.
Mr. Bryan said in the formal statement
Issued the other day: "It I could regard
the defeat as a purely personal one I would
consider it a blessing rather than a mis
fortune." The defeat was so largely per
sonal that Mr. Bryan need not hesitate
about regarding It as a blessing. The re
turns Indicate that there' are not half a
doien states In which he has not run be
hind the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. While Mr. Taft's popular plurality Is
more than 1.100,000, It Is estimated that the
combined pluralities against the democratic
tate tickets are little more than 4(W,ocj
against 700.00 for Mr. Bryan personally.
There are few states In which he did f
well as In 1W0. He has brought Nebraska,
with eight electoral voteB, into the demo
cratic column, but seems to have lost Mis
souri, with eighteen electoral voU-, al
though In 1W0 he carried Missouri by 27,i
Even the southern otates, which are re
sponsible for Mr. Bryan's nomination this
year, were not sreatly Interested In voting
for him. Only Kentucky gives him ait In
creased plurality over 1900. In the others,
except Maryland, where the electoral vole
will probably be split, there is a Bryan
slump varying from hundreds to many
thousands.
In the eastern states Mr. Bryan farej
worse than in 1900. In New York he lost
the city, which tie curried eight years ago,
and Taft's plurality in the state exceeds
McKinley's 1900 plurality by eo.000. The I'a
cirio coast states followed the Atlantic
coast states in Increasing their an'i-Bryan
pluralities. In the middle west Mr. Bryan
averaged only a little better than In 1X.
What he gained In Indiana. lewa and Wis
consin he lost In Illinois, where Mr. Taft
haa 175.000 to Mr. MeKlnley'e 96.000. Even
in Colorado he fell 24.0HO behind his l'Xi
vote.
It waa a democratic defest, but the ele

BITS OF WASIMSOTON LIFE.
President HooaeTelt's Plant With War
Collee Heroes.
Since the order went forth to army off I
cere Intimating that walking Is good exer
cise, President Roosevelt watched for an
opportunity to show the profession how to
do it In a "healthy" way. Iast Friday he
Indulged In a heart-to-heart talk with the
members of the staff of the war college.
emphasising the Importance of being fit
physically for any emergency. "Now,
boys." he exclaimed, In effect, "I am going
to take a constltutlon.il tomorrow after
noon and would be delighted with your
company. Are you with meT"
Fifty-eight members of the staff eagerly
accepted the Invitation, elated with the
honor of a hike with the president. What
happened during the walk Is told by the
Washington Post, in part aa follows:
The president set the time for meeting
at I o'clock Saturday and the place aa
Boulder Bridge, in Rock Crerk park. Clad
In old clothes and wearing the familiar
Rough Rider hat, ho appeared at the bridge
in company with Secretary Garfield and
Mr. Bacon. He found fifty-eight officers
awaiting him.
"Ah this is bully," he exclaimed. "I've
not led so many men since my days In
Cuba. Let's start."
And the company started. Some few
gasped at the Initial pace, but no strag
gling was allowed. Neither was there any
cttempt at military formation, for the
iuuie cnosen ty the president did not ex
actly admit of that.
For some little distance the cavalcade
made its way down the smooth level of the
park road. The president was chatting
with a little group that Included Secretary
Garfield. Mr. Bacon, General Bell and Gen
eral Wotherspoon, head of the war college
when he suddenly cast his eyes to tho"
right.
"Well, here's a promising place," he said,
garlng at the thick undergrowth that clad
the steep hill. "Up we go!"

scratched by thorns and much clothing
was torn by brambles, but all came out on
the crest of the rise. Before those who
were breathing stentorlously could recover
the president looked them over quickly and
a grin spread over his face.
"By Godfrev ' Ho j .
- - - -- .Aviniuicu, lucre s
nothing up here. Down we go again."
Down the Mil the marchers made their
way, garnering more scratches and more
torn rlnthln .

there was a general disposition to attempt
nothing but the business Immediately in
hand.
The path broke Into the open at the
base of a rocky cliff, almost precipitous,
on the banks of Rock Creek. Thi. i. .
of the president's favorite spots, and at
stream Is about seventy-five
feed wide and from four to six feet deep
Straight un the rockv wall th.
climbed, hand over hand. Behind him,
one by one, came his followers. General
neii, wno is tne beau Ideal of the service,
was close behind Mr. Roosevelt when the
top, ax) feet up, was reached, and at Gen
eral Bell s heels came General Wother
spoon, who weighs 130 pounds, but Is hard
as nails.
"Glorious' climh. Bell." said the nM.i.
dent, his eyes twinkling and his face
glowing with the exercise. "Liet's wait a
minute for the rest and then wo-it
down again. Nothing like climbing as an
exercise."
Then down the rocky Wall the party
went, slipping and sliding, and arriving
at the bottom drenched in perspiration.
The president looked contemplatively on
the stream and them removed his hat.
Into It he placed lils eye-glasses, his
watch and keys, and one or two other
things that water might injure. Taking
the cue, these who knew their leader did
likewise.
"Well, let's go across," said Mr. Roose
velt, when he had completed the prelim
inary arrangements. And he waded In.
In a moment he was up to his armpits.
Four strides further along the water
readied to his chin. Thtough It all the
president smiled delightedly, and when
two of the smaller officers were forced to
swim to strike shallow water on the far
shore, he laughed heartily.
Shaking himself like a great dog, the
president struck out from the stream on
the way back to the lights of the city.
It was growing chilly, and the teeth of
many of those who strode In wet clothes
were chattering like castanets when the
street car line was reached. Mr. Roose
velt, however, seemed to radiate heat and
happiness.
"That was a bully walk," he exclaimed,
shaking hands with a number of those
nearest. "Nothing- like hriak fai

retary Garfield and Mr. Bacon entered the
White House carriage and was driven off.
The others stood shivering until a tar

THE DOCTOR AND HIS FEE.
Ability to Par Defended aa the Limit
of thnrtre.
New York World.
Said Satan In the course of hla remarka
on the probable vulnerability of Job: "Skin
for Bkin. yea. all that a men hath will he
give for his life." This was an early con-
triDutlon to the literature of debate over
the proper alse of the doctor's fee. Its
latest product Is a chapter In the North
American Review by Dr. Arthur C. Hef
fenger, who arguos that tha fee may be
fixed justly by considering what life or
limb may be worth to a particular patient
Another authority has stated the case in
epigram: "Medical and surgical aervlc?a
have no value, In that they are Invaluable."
Once a New York polo player paid 11,000
for having a broken finger set. He was
rich and he wanted to be sure of the finger.
In the case of Lolita Armour Dr. Adolf
Lorens, coming from Austria to Chicago,
received 175.000 a small price for the phy
sical well-being- of the petted child of a
multimillionaire. A Boston man paid gladly
$10,009 for laparotomy performed on .his
wife. There are men like James R. Keene
and the late Cornelius Vanderbilt who
think nothing of erjgnglng, while traveling,
the exclusive services of a doctor who can
earn $25,000 a year in practice.
On the other hand, It is stated that prac
tically J3 per cent of the practice of New
York City Is charity-and in at least a
third of such cases the doctor is Imposed
upon!
There, are about 00,000 doctors In the
United State, or one to every 400 of popu
lation. The average yearly Income In the
profession la estimated at $750. A few doc
tors make princely inconvs; many ap
proach the other extreme. There are great
nd good physicians who are not famous
nor ricn and there are charlatans who are
notorious and wealthy. '

proud of the support of a man capable of

It was only a step on a summer day
To (he creek and the rock where the spring
board lay;
It waa over the meadows and through

"And half a mile through the woods ao

It was down a valley and up a hill
On a winding path past the ruined mill.

But 'twas only a step on a summer day.
But, oh, it was far down the short con
row.
Where the weeds grew thick, with a
heavy hoe!
It was only a step on a winter night
To the skating pond where the snow lay
white;
It was past the common and through the
wood
And over the hill where the school house
stood.
It was down the turnpike and through thw
snow
That lay in drifts In the valleys low.
But the stars shone out and the moon
was bright - , ....
It was only a step on a winter night,
But,' oh, it was far throug-h the bitter
snows
To the old barn door we were sent to
close!
