MORS TENNESSEE LAWLESSNESS.
Commendable efforts on the part of
Governor Patterson to bring to justice
the Tennessee "Night Riders" and the
murderers of Captain Rankin have
been seriously marred and interfered
w,tn by the state National Guard, or-
dered ou to make the arrests. These
soldiers camped at Camp Nemo, right
I In tho heart of the nlght-rldlng dla-
trtct and within a few miles of the
place where' the assault" upon Captain
Rankin was committed. The adjutant
general of the guard ruled that the
Uoldiers were to receive the pay au-
thorlzed by the Tennessee laws Instead
of the reeular army Day for their
services. The soldiers resented this
ruling and burned the adjutant gen
eral In effigy, in the very midst of the
outlaws they had been sent to arrest.
This action of the soldiers is con
temptible and rebellious. The first
duty of the soldier, regular or volun
teer, Is to obey orders and -uphold the
law, yet these militiamen not only
Ignore the law, but hurl insult upon It.
11 ,B the more deplorable that the offl-
cer ot the militia should have wit-
newied the violation of the law without
protest or attempt at interference.
Possibly the militiamen . had a
grievance, but no such cause for corn-
plaint can justify their unsoldlerly and
unlawful conduct. The way to justice
was open to them, through military
channels or through the courts, but
their plain duty was to carry out their
orders, big pay, small pay or no pay,
instead of encouraging the lawlessness

MR. CARNEGIE ON THE TARIFF.
Andrew Carnegie's contribution,
through the Century Magazine, to the
tariff literature of the day contains
nothing strikingly new on the subject
I beyond his contention that a tariff is
po longer needed for the protection of
the steel industry. Mr. Carnegie made
I his millions in the steel business and
derives his great revenue now from
bonds of the big steel company. He
argues that protection has done . its
beneficent work for the steel Industry.
wMch u now abi6 to ,tand alone and
meet the competition of the world.
Trade statistic appear Jo bear out
Mr. Carnegie's . position, on the steel
tariff. Reports show that the steel
manufacturers of this country have
been able for several years to market
their products throughout the civilized
world, coming Into successful competi
tion with the iron and steel manufac
turers In Germany and England. ,
Congress will doubtless be Impressed
with Mr. Carnegie's statements, but It
will perhaps be as well to follow his
advice that "it is better to go a little
slow than too fast" In removing the
protective duties. It should not be
difficult to determine in Just what lines
f rk the steel companies of this
country have so completely established
I their supremacy that they no longer
need the tariff protection. In all such
- leases the tariff should be removed or
- 1 reduced to the minimum.. The steel
Industry has developed wonderfully in
the last few years, but some steel ex-
pert Insist that In certain lines the
American factories still need protection
against foreign competitors.
The average citizen will hardly
agree with Mr. Carnegie in hts com
plaint that the tariff "la a potent en
gine for the purpose of taxing the
rich, with the Incidental of exempting
the poor from contributing to the sup
port of the federal government." The
poor, being In the majority, would
have no complaint whatever to offer
against that feature of tariff operation.
Mr. Carnegie cites figures to ohow that
of a total collection of 1332,000,000
In duties In 1907, the amount of $216,
000,000 was collected upon the luxu
ries of the rich. "The worklngman,"
says Mr. Carnegie, "who neither drinks
nor smokes is thus virtually free from
national taxation, either through tariff
or internal revenue, except upon sugar,
which is the only imported taxed arti
cle of general consumption, by rich and
poor alike."
Such articles as that by Mr. Carnegie
should aid congress in securing definite
data concerning American industries
and their need of protection. Senti
ment is clearly for a revision and re
adjustment of the tariff schedules, to
the end that, they shall not be used
to enable great corporations to wring
unearned profits from the consumers
and shall, at. the same time, furnish
that measure of protection necessary
to the encouragement of American in
dustries and the maintenance of the
high standard of American labor and
wages.
COMPARISONS INVITED.
The Boa speaks of objectionable elements
that . would make their Influence felt In
the election of the (police) commissioners.
We have had object lessons In Omaha
which- cannot be overlooked. If the com
mission Is made elective these. Influences
are obliged to face the power and subvert
the clvlo righteousness of the entire elec
torate If they are to accomplish their pur
pose. And this wa submit Is not so easy
as it is for Victor Rosewater and those
for whom and with whom he acta to sway
the course of a governor who acts at a
distance and la necessarily a stranger to
a greater or lesser extent to the situation.
World-Herald.
If the Intimation Is that The Bee
and its editor are responsible for the
police commissioners appointed by
the governor, comparisons are invited
between the personnel of the present
police commission and former police
commissions, whose appointment was
not to be laid at the door of any ono
connected with The Bee. Tho ap
pointed members of the present police
commission are four In number, as fol
lows: Jchn L. Kennedy. w. M. Oilier.
Robert Coweli. a C. Page.
We submit that theeo men consti
tute a police commission thoroughly
representative of and in highest stand
ing in the business and professional
community.
Which of these police commission
ers does the World-Herald charge with
representing "objectionable elements?"
Which of them represent Influences
aiming to "subvert civic righteous
ness?" In which one of these appointments
was Governor Sheldon misled, if he
was Influenced by The Bee and Its
editor, and what have they done that
Governor Sheldon would not have had
them do, or would have them undo?
Governor Sheldon need not fear comp
arison as between his Omaha police
commissioners and thse who have
gone before them, or who may come
after them.'
We submit that the World-Herald's
present demand for a home made po
lice commission is pure buncombe.
We had a home made police commis
sion here for several years, but the
World-Herald and its political allies
never ceased attacking It until they
had secured a reversal of the supreme
court decision that guaranteed home
rule to Omaha and had restored the
appointing of police commissioners to
a governor "at a distance" and "neces.
sarlly a stranger to the situation."
In blowing hot and blowing cold,
favoring governor-appointed commis
sions and then opposing ' them, the
World-Herald has been simply voicing
the desires ot the "objectionable ele
ments" who want the town run wide
open.
What has become of the Nebraska
constitutional provision that declares
that taxes shall never be compromised
or remitted? Our public authorities
seem to have the idea that tbey can
compromise taxes whenever they
please and every compromise simply
holds out an Incentive for tax
shirkers to fight their taxes In order
to get a compromise.
With a physician In the city council
to keep tab on the physician in the
health commissioner's office. Omaha
taxpayers ought to have a check on
extravagance. But If, as charged, the
health commissioner's office has been
extravagantly run for nearly three
years, It surely ought to have been
stopped before this.
Of course the suggestion that
plenitude of candidates for those su
preme court vacancies is due to the
raise of salary to 14,500 a year is en
tirely unwarranted. The competition
for the Jobs would have been Just as
brisk had the salary been reduced or
cut off altogether.
The dispatches announce the finding
of an orthoceratlte in Wyoming. An

Have you lost an orthoceratlte?
The local democratlo organ makes
a special plea for the elimination ot
politics from state institutions and the
adoption of some plan that will mak
efficiency the sole passport to employ
ment and retention in them. No one
will take exception to this. Now let
the new democratic administration
start out by retaining the services of
11 the republicans in our Nebraska
state institutions, excepting only those
who fall, after due hearing, to meet
harges of inefficiency or incom
petency.
If the two Omahas can get together
around a banquet board now, they
ought to be able to get together bo
fore long under one municipal gov
ernment. The Greater Omaha they
11 talk about Is coming all right In
fact, some of it is here already.
Editor Li Sum of China was In this
country when the Chinese throne was

America's supremacy In that line. The

Well, then, please do them. And

The Worst to Come.
St. Louis Olobe-Democrat

his leg at hla Initiation into a society. He
should have been more careful, for the
worst la certainly yet to come.
Campaign Liberality.
Chicago Tribune,
It will not be denied that Mr. Bryan
himself was a liberal contributor to the
democratic campaign fund. He gave 21,000
in cash and nearly all the words in com
mon use in the English language.

Uncle Sam's Emblems.
- Boston ' Herald.
Henceforth the eagle, the shield, the
flag, or other insignia of the United States,
are not likely to constitute features of
private trade marks to the extent that they
have hitherto. The ruling of the com
missioner of patents against the registra

QUita effectually. Uncle Samuel is getting

The value of the country's corn crop
this year will be greater than in any pre
vious season. It probably will bring to the
farmer more than $1,400,000,000, making corn
the imperial crop of the United States.
The yield has been exceeded three times,
but lower prices in 1899, 1906, and 190 made
the total value less. One factor In keeping
up the price of corn has been the export
demand, which has steadily Increased dur
ing the decade past. For this great credit
s due the officials of the Agricultural de
partment, who have kept up a long and
persistent campaign of education In Eu
rope, In order to show the great food value
of corn. The expert figures prove that
their efforts have been wonderfully success.

Value of the Year's Crop Breaks the
Record.
Baltimore American.
According to the estimate of Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, the aggregate value
of the farm props of the United States
for the current year, will be t.-
000.000,000. This breaks ail Drevlous
records and exceeds the total valuation
of last year's crops by 1600,000,000. It is
an amount so great that lta proportions
can only be grasped by comparisons, or
by showing what could be bought with
such a sum.
Tha entire national wealth of Spain, ac
cording to latest standard estimates, la
15,100,000,000. If, therefore, Spain were
offered for sale at par, the farmers of
the United States from the realised val
uen of this year's cropa could purchaae
the entire kingdom, including cltiea, towns,
farm lands, live stock, railroads and ship
ping, palaces, forts in short, the entire
fixtures and outfit of the country that
is measurable in a monetary valuation.
And after paying over the purchase money
ma purchasers would have M.flOO.OOO.OOO to
put into Improvements. They could pay
for both the Kingdom of Portugal and the
Republlo of Swltserland in a Job lot sale
upon the same basis of valuations, and
have more than 13.000,000,000 left for mak
ing developments.
The monetary value of the" crops of the
United States for 1908 Is greater by sev
eral billions of dollars than can ba meas
ured in all the moneys that will bo col
lected and expended during the passing
fiscal year by all the governmenta of
Europe. If the American farm yield had
to ba paid for in a lump sum, all the
money in the United Plates, including
gold, silver and uncovered paper,
would
not be sufficient for the purpose by '
S5.4W.0O0.O0O. And if all the money of :
very description in circulation in Great
Britain, France and Germany were added
to tha total monetary circulation of the
United States, there would still be lack
ing more than 12.000,000,000 of a suf
ficiency to make a spot caah pay
ment for the farm products of this coun
try grown during this single year 19o.
Allowing that the farmers of the United
States will sell only two-thirds of the
products grown this year and reserve the
other one-third for their own consump
tion, tha value of tha portion of the
crops marketed will aggregate ,33Z.i3,

entire farm surplus of the Unit'd States

Full oft 'tis said it dominates the stew
Thai gilds tiie damask of the boarding

Churls call it, when its lamp they'd rudoly
douse,
The cud ot discontent the wise eschew.
But to a graceful wit like C. Uepew,
Upon whose shoulders hangs tne bloom
ing blouse
Of Rociiutoucauld. It Is the thing to souse
Onw's soul, with bliss and knock the fates
askew.
The lotos eater likes It lean or fat.
And, while he with enthusiasm bfams,
1 He murmurs with outstretched, uplifted
hands:
"Ah, that it were as long a neck aa that
Which makes the ostrich happy as he

In pvace upon the moonlit desert sands."

Oh, nevermore these wings will wildly flap
Those symphonies that glad the epicure
And In his rosy memories endure
To keep his finest fantasies on tap.
That music s still, yet. even as we wrap
Ourselves about these tidbits are we sure
We feci a melody that's made to lure,
And catch and hold all bugbeurs in a trap.
Oh, when we nibble at these Juicy Joints
We feel we're at a feast that's fit for
kings,
And loud our horn of revelry we wind
And lift our voice while gravy rich anoints
Our thoughts and chant: These wings
oulwlng the wings
Of riches and Hie wings of love com

When one observes Its gravy-sculptured
slice
Adorn the plate, one's fancies flame and

Till, lme a knight of old. with vim and
dash,
One gulps It In a honey-broldered trice.
Though hot or cold or sandwiched, 'twill

E'en as it will converted into hash
In any style 'tis worth its weight In cash,
And cneap no matter what tne blooming

The poet would b duller far than dull
Who, having eaten of its lily white,
Delectable and gravy-buried chunks.
Could not instanter gather with h'is skull
The deathless wreath by tossing off the
light
And airy ode that gleans the golden
plunks.
IV-THE SECOND JOINTS.
These second Joints will trot the bird no

Nor help to hold him on the moonlit tree,
For brown and crisp they gleam, and
Juicy glee
Transports us to a golden fairy shore.
Athrili with merry meters to the core
We munch and munch, adrift upon a sea
Of warm empurpled dreams and, quite
care free,
Eat on and on till rapturously sore.
And then we fancy 'mid the skeins of

And quaintest ripples breathing fumes

That we're a nasha In lush Joy asoak

Observe the small boy's gravy-tinted errrlle
That from the drumstick practically drips
As fast as it can blossom on his lips,
The which he smacKS in most heroic style.
E'en as the Hindu down the crocodile
Evanishes, this luscious morsel slips
Adown the boy and in a pity nips
His many troubles in the bud, the while
He wields this slick as if hu would with
vim
Discourse a solo on the drum of Joy.
This hopeful Is our long-lost self we see
A-smiling e'en while loading to the bnm
With unctuous drumstick, brighter than

His rampant soul aglow with madcap
glee.

The sage to eat alone Is quite unfit,

And from tho onion many e'er will flit;
But blend them and the blend will always

Tho bull's eye of the appetite of dame
And danioarl and little boy who'll frame
Such words of pratso as no bard ever writ.
This is thn stuffing that Thanksgiving

Are maue of and that all men gulp In

Witu rolling eyes and bosoms full of

And murmur, while their vision brightly

For failure that which went
With soma sublime Intent;
For Death's dark sacrament!
For beeonlng beacon-hopes
That show, beyond the slopes,
How wlda the Future opes!
For all our land's Increase
That slowly, without ceise
Man's paths trend more toward peace!
Foreverniore to Thee,
Our deep Thanksgiving be.

Failure of Criminal Proeeedlnga In
Hatlroad Accident 1'naea.
Boston Herald.
Remaining indictments for manslaughter
against the New York Central railroad In
connection witn tne wrewster express
I wreck have now been dismissed. The dis
aster caused the death of twenty-four per
sons. A month after the accident, when
public indignation was high, the general
manager and other officials of the road
were indicted. Nine months later the gen
eral manager was tried and acquitted.
After a lapse of eleven months more the
other cases are quietly stricken from the
court docket. Most persons, have forgotten
that such an accident occurred. The rail
road has acknowledged Its responsibility
and has settled with the friends and rela
tlves of the dead and Injured. But the
personal responsibility for the accident has
not been fixed. Bo long as prosecuting
officers and the courts recognise the
possibility of railroads running them
selves, and fail to determine the responsi

of traffic, the guarantee of safety wlU be

Mr. Rockefeller mentions the dire possi
bility that the supply of oil may give out.
Hence his desire to control the supply and
not permit wicked, rivals to waste it.
Vlctorien Sardou, before his death, had
practically completed the manuscript- of a
revolutionary drama, styled "L'lnsalsiM
ablo." It waa written for production in
the United Btates and England.
From the estimates and calculations ot
local experts who have sampled the atmos
phere Is can be shown that the average
cltlien of Chicago consumes a great deal
more than his allotted peck of dirt.
Mrs. Phillips Nodon of London is to be
the principal speaker at the meeting of
the Interurban Woman Suffrage associa

New York, on December 4. Mrs. Nodon is
the wife of asmember of Parliament and
reported to be an eloquent speaker.
The Vanderbllt fortune, once the greatest
financial power In the United States, prob
ably amounts, at the, present moment, to
not far from $300,000,000. Of this, William
Klssam Vanderbllt, who controls the ma
jority of the family properties, holds In
the neighborhood of 1100,000,000. while twelvi
or fifteen descendants of the commodore
share among themselves the remaining
fauo.ooo.ooo.
The late Jere M. Lyon, who amassed a
fortune of $100,000 as a country merchant
at Bedford, Westchester county. New York,
was a somewhat eccentric character. He
kept all his bank books in a meal bag,
which also contained a wallet stuffed with
600 four-leaf clovers. Mr. Lyon had gath
ered these clovers all through his life,
believing that great good luck came to one
possessing them which was true enough
in his case.
Consul General T. St. John Oaffney, of
Dresden, states , that the exportation ot
German picture post cards has recently di
minished considerably. The foreign de
mand Is, however, still great, amounting K
about 600,000,000 since the beginning of the
year to July 1. Compared with the previous
year this shows a diminution of 100,000,000.
The United States is said to bo Germany's
best customer, followed by England. Asia
and Australia are alo good patrons of this
form of art industry.
Lydia Thompson, (he noted burlesque ac
tress. Is dead. Forty years ago, at the
head of the British blondes, Lydia began
her career of elevating the stage and was
so' nimble in her ways that every member
of the troupe could kick the crown of a tail
hat on the head of a six-footer, without
creasing the tights. When the troupe gave
a return exhibition in Chicago In 1870, the
famous Wllber F. Story shouted In the
Chicago Times: "Bawds In the opera house!
where are the police?" Lydia waylaid the
fiery editor the following night and lashed
him with a blacksnake whip. The furore
created- by the exhibition of tights at that
time had more effect on the box office re
ceipts than elsewhere, turning a fortune
into the coffers of the managers. Com
pared with some of the present, day exhibi
tions the Thompson tights were aa decorous
as a pink tea gown.
