Two Qaertions Answered.
Two questions have been .pro
pounded to The Bee by the Good Gov
ernment league of Ban Francisco,
which have doubtless been directed
also to leading newspapers through
out the country, and which, we feci
sure, will elicit responses practically
all In the same tenor. The questions
are:
I. Does the prosecution of wealthy per
sons charged with elvlc crimen injure busi
ness: or doe It Improve the financial
standing of a city. In the eye of outside
Inventor? Why?
1 Would San Frsnclsco .profit financially
by abandoning th present prosecution; or
ould It be to the permanent material ad
vantage of th city to prosecute to a final
determination the Indicted "higher ups,"
o-called? Why?
1. Prosecution of "malefactors of
great wealth" charged with cllvc
crimes cannot injure legitimate busi
ness and ought to Improve the finan
cial standing of a city. The invest
ment of money is a purely calculating
proposition and people like to Invest
money In cities where they feel confi
dent that it will not only make good
returns, but also be aafe against plun
der either by grafting public officials
or plutocratic outlaws. All this is on
the assumption that the wealthy per
sons charged with civic crimes have
really committed the crimes and that
the prosecution is not Instigated or
fanned on by mere prejudice against
wealth. The fact that the person
charged with the crime is rich or poor
ought to have nothing to do with
prosecution and punishment if found
guilty.
2. It would be well for San Fran
cisco to go on with its prosecutions If
It has evidence enough to warrant
reasonable expectation - of conviction.
To carry on a prosecution which it is
known In advance is bound to fall
would be money wasted, with no suffl-
elent compensating advantages In the
free advertising. San Francisco
should decide to go on or to stop with
out reference to whether the culprits
are "higher up" or "lower down," and
tn Its determination be guided by the
same considerations that would gov
ern In any prosecution for any other
crime of equal seriousness..
This general proposition Is unas
sailable It never hurts a business in
stitution, a political party, a city or a
commonwealth to purge Itself of dis
honest and recreant officials or mem
bers. -
Mediating; Industrial Dispute.
In well-informed circles President
Taft is credited with an Intention to
recommend to congress legislation
broadening the scope of federal media
tion In labor disputes involving inter
state commerce, particularly, where
public rights and convenience are
concerned. There Is no Intention to
make arbitration compulsory or its
awards binding, but simply to expand
the scope, of the Erdraannact, which.
has already done-much to help settle
differences between employers and em3
ployes.
The Erdmann act requires that at
least one party to the dispute shall
request the services of the Interstate
Commerce commission and the com
missioner of labor before these offi
cials may Intervene, and It Is now
proposed to make It their duty when
conditions warrant it to attempt a
settlement of differences. The princi
pal advantage expected to be gained
is an effort at settlement before the
parties to controversies become em
bittered and stubborn through con
flict Transportation and producing com
panies have grown so that strikes ef
fect a much larger per cent of the
country's business than formerly, and
in the case of many railroad systems
and manufacturing concerns a stop
page of one paralyses a large portion
of the nation's business. Such a strike
Is not simply a controversy, between a
company and Its employes, but the
public has an equity In It.
Prompt mediation by a recognized
Impartial tribunal could doubtless in
a majority of the cases bring the di
vergent Interests together to their
own and the public advantage. '
Canadian Railroad Invasion.
Control .by the Canadian Pacific of
a number of railroads In the United
8tates presents an entirely new prob
lem in rate regulation. For years the
Canadian road has owned the Soo line
and It haa recently acquired the Wis
consin Central, giving it entrance into
Chicago. It has lines reaching Seattle
on the Pacific coast and now rumor
has It the Canadian company has pur
chased the New York, Ontario &
Western and the Boston & Maine.
The lines in the United States owned
by the Canadian road can be made to
comply with the rate laws and regu
lations of this country, but on freight
to the seaboard, passing partly over
the Canadian Pacific, the question of
regulation is different. The propor
tional of the rate taken by the Can
adian line can be manipulated at will,
so far as our laws' are concerned, and
if the Canadian Pacific desires It can
not only demoralise traffic matters,
but make serious Inroads ' Into the
business of lines this side of the bor
der. Railroad managers admit that
under existing law there Is no remedy,
but this does not signify that one can
not be found.
Hitherto the railroads on this side
of tho border have dominated the sit
uation, but the new developments In
dicate that they may not longer do
so to the aame extent. The western
ahlpper Is not so much concerned; in
fact, tho Canadian competition is
likely to be a rate equalizer, but the
seaboard cities of the United States
are greatly agitated and with good
cause. Montreal has become a formi
dable competitor for export grain traf
fic and a development of the situation
Is feared which will seriously affect
he foreign commerce of New Tork,
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
How to meet such competition Is a
sprlous problem. On exports the party
paying the freight is beyond the Juris
diction of American courts and on In
coming shipments the rates can be
varied by selling goods f. o. b. track
at point of delivery. In this case,
also, the freight payment is beyond
United States Jurisdiction and If the
portion of. the haul within United
States territory is paid for at tariff
rates, reaching the rebater or manipu
lator of rates Is difficult. Greater
elasticity In export rates than is now
permitted Is urged by railroad man
agers as the only remedy, but this In
turn is complicated by domestic rates.
If railroad managers are permitted
to be the Judge of changes In export
rates to meet outside manipulation
conditions would revert to the old
time chaos, and it is suggested that
the Interstate Commerce commission's
powers be enlarged to meet the conditions.
Ouida on Suffrage.
A woman's view of woman's rights
and suffrage which is likely to pro
voke extensive controversy Is given In
the posthumous publication of a letter
by Louise de la Ramee, better known
as Ouida. She attacks the question
with a virility equal to her best ef
forts and with a frankness which no
mere man would dare to do. Accord
ing to Ouida, women want "equality
with men" In matters of government,
but shirk the equality of service and
asks If women were ready to become
soldiers and sailors in time of war or
even surrender the little civilities ac
corded the sex in excess of those be
tween men, and she bluntly answers
both queries in the negative. "Herein,
we. conceive, lies the whole radical
weakness of the hue and cry raised
by women, 1. e., the demand for every
thing with the resolve to concede noth
ing." The arguments against suffrage are
not new, only put a little more point
edly, as might have been expected of
Ouida, but it is her blunt declaration
that the sex is inherently inferior to
man that will raise the storm. She
bases her argument on the scientific
theory of the survival of the fittest
and goes back to the time when man
was inferior to the beast, but by evo
lution had become his master. Both
sexes, she avers, started with equal
opportunity and man's supremacy was
not accident, but the operation of the
eternal law. If woman has not at
tained an equal place with man, if
she has been tardy of development,
she argues, it is her own inherent
fault, not man's.
Ouida leads up through all the ar
raignment of woman's suffrage, how
ever, to a powerful plea for the
broader education of women and free
ing her from "superstitions" that she
may better perform her task of lead
ing the minds of the children In right
paths and that her Influence over man
may be broader and more beneficial.
Influence of the United States.
The position and work "of the
United States in the world was force
fully set forth In an address by Senor
Nabuco, the Brazilian ambassador, to
the students of Wisconsin university.
He cited the makeup of our popula
tion, a nation built by welding people
of all nationalities, with the Impetus
of diversified ideas all crystallized Into
the basic idea of equality. "Equal
ity," he says, "did not make only the
success of this nation; it fixed the
final type of humanity everywhere.
The nation's cosmopolitan character
alone has made its worldwide influ
ence Irresistible." Senor Nabuco said
that had the principle been tried and
proved efficient with a pure race the
answer too often would be In other
lands "It is not suited to our people,"
but here Is a nation made up of Im
migrants from all lands with all con
ceivable ideas and governmental prac
tices, all being rapidly moulded into
a common mass with common ideals.
Such a view of our civilization and
government by an outside observer Is
Instructive and encouraging, for it
strengthens our faith In ourselves.
It also affords a new angle of view
of our Influence upon the world. We
are prone to look at a nation in the
light of material power and Ignore the
silent Influence of example which is
unconsciously remoulding all others.
We are pleased to know that the
rumor of Mr. Harrlman's death is en
tirely unfounded. We cannot afford
to spare Mr. Harriman before he
builds that long promised new Union
Pacific headquarters in Omaha, and
even then we would like to have him
visit us periodically for many years
thereafter.
The fact that former Senator Wil
liam V. Allen Is associated with John
L. Webster in the suit brought to test
the bank guaranty law will probably
not make the "crime of nullification"
any the less in Governor Shallen
berger's estimation, but the lew will
have to stand the test Just '.he same.
Railroads In Illinois complain that
during the year 1908 they lost $16,
000,000 because of the reduction of
passenger fares from 3 cents to 2 cents
per mile. On the same line of reason
ing they lost $30,000,000 because
they were not permitted to charge
4 cents per mile.

Bom Idea of the quantity of material
used by th postal service may be gained
when it Is stated that during last year the
division furnished 925.000,000 yards of twine,
3.20,000 pens, 21)2,000 penholders, 650,000 pen
cils, and 2,600,000 blank cards. To wrap the
bundles B, 400,000 sheets or wrapping paper
were used. Blank forma are furnished by
th millions. Of th form "Application for
Domestic Money Order," which Is seen In
the lobby of every postofflc. there were
161,770,000 used last year, and during th
same period 89,034 rubber stamp were
manufactured and supplied to postofftces.

students asking that Mr. Rockefeller be
given th opportunity to equip the new

th better. Th University of Nebraska Is

Splsod that Mark th frogrea of
Event at th BaUonAl Capital.
A story old enounh to cut Its own whis
kers unexpectedly receives a certificate of
merit and truthftilnewi In Washington.
Years ago, so the story ran. the wife of a
representative poked him in the slats at
I o'clock In the morning, whispering:
"Wake up. William Henry, there are bur
glars In the house. "Oh, no." remarked
William dreamily; "they are all over In the
senate. William F. Masters of Jamestown,
N. Y., a pilgrim In Washington, solemnly
declares there are real robbers In the sen
ale wing of the capltol.
Mr. Masters was extremely curious to
hear the great tariff debate and this wom
anish trait cost him dearly. He nought to
enter one of the reaerved galleries, carry
ing a little satchel. The vigilant doorkeeper
informed him of the rule that no satchel
may be taken inside, the rule being a
precaution against bomb throwers. He
placed his valise just outside of the door
and went in.
The valise had nothing in it except S1S0
In good American cash, patents for a new
type of clothes washer and a bundle ot
valuable letters.
Mr. Masters thought the senate was fun
nier than a S-oent amusement place and
bad the time of his life.
When he came out and stooped down to
pick up th satchel It was not In sight.
Hence the conclusion of Mr. Masters that
It is is Imprudent to lug around money
or valuables on the senate side of the cap
ltol. "Oh, very well." said William O. Koenlg
of Hush, Tex., first class man at Annap
olis, when he read the latest order of the
secretary of the navy. The order was to
the effect that midshipmen should not
marry until they ,completed their two
years' cruise.
Midshipman Koenig was engaged to
marry Miss Eugenia McCoy of Ualtlmoie,
immediately after graduation. The young
man, after four years training, wished to
remain In the service of his country, but
he also was determined to wed.
Thinking It over he came to Washington
and took examination to enter the coast
artillery as second lieutenant. He passed,
and as soon as the commission was signed
and delivered there waa a wedding In Balti
more. The navy lost a promising young
officer and the army gained a family.
Secretary Mayer and President Taft have
not changed their opinion that boys just
out of school in the navy should not marry,
but that isn't the question now. What is
pusillng the department and the White
House is how to atop It and keep a navy.
There is not much use building battleships
If one can't get men to fight them.
Miss Almyra Sessions, one of the promi
nent society girls In Washington, who
secretly made her stage debut In Wash
ington two weeks sgo, balked at appearing
In tights In "It Happened in Nordland." In
which she waa to have had her seoond
part at the National theater, recently, Just
before the performance. Her part was
taken by another member of the company.
Mies Sessions put on her street clothes just
as the curtain was . ringing up and left
the stage, went out and bought a seat In
the orchestra and witnessed th perform
ance. Miss Sessions Is the daughter of Mrs.
Benjamin Reeves Russell, wife of Colonel
Russell of the marine corps. She has ap
peared In the principal parte of several
amateur performances which have been
given each season by members of the ex
clusive younger set. She has a fine voice,
and recently she returned from abroad,
where she had studied under celebrated
teachers.
Without notifying sny of her friends.
Miss Sessions obtained an engagement with
the Aborn Opera company here snd ap
peared professionally for the first time re
cently In a small part in "The Sultan of
Sulu." She made a hit and was engaged
for the second week. She was told she was
to "lead tho soldiers" In th second aot,
but nothing was said to her about wear
ing tights. The costumes did not reach
Washington until Just before the perform
ance, and when Miss Sessions was handed
out her soldier "pants" in the second act
he nearly collapsed. She told the man
agement she would not appear In tights;
the management said she must. Miss Ses
sions, had visions of her society friends
out in front and refused to go on. Then
she was told she could "take her clothes
and go."
Senator Dolllver. of Iowa, regarded by
msny as the best debater In the senate,
has been enjoying himself hugely at the
expense of the high tariff senator, re
lates a correspondent of th Chicago
News. The have had to take their re
venge by outvoting him and his fellow
insurgents. Pome of Dolllver s Jokes are
very clever and they have the further ad
vantage of being good natured. For ex
ample. Senator Depew one day picked him
up on his lamentation that In past years
he had stood for the high tariff. "As a
mature ststesman, as the star operator of
his party, trsversing the country, mAklng
speeches which largely produced th re
sult for which w are so grateful," sail
Depew. "Would he pass a blu pencil
through these speeches?" "Mr. Presi
dent," Dolllver replied, "when I spoke with
the senator from New York I was reported
is very brief fashion to this effect; "Mr.
Dolllver also spoke.' I ahould b glad If I
could get a blue pencil through that aom
time."
Senator Warren's blue serge suit was s
subject of much remark through the
woolen controversy. He described It to the
senate, saying the amount of wool In It
weighed less than three pounds, that th
cloth In It cost a little more than $4. that
the making of the suit coat 130. and th
finding used cost J12.S0, so that the suit
cost more than $40, though the cloth cost
only K From this he srgued that the pro
tectlve tariff on the suit was not more than
I1.S3. "I submit," said Warren, "that the
cloth Is good enough to wear even In th
august presence of the senate. I ask th
senator If I am not right." "Let it b
aid," responded Dolllver, with whom th
Wyoming senator was in colloquy, "that
the enator doea not require a very ela
borate suit of clothea to present an Im
prefslve appearance In ihe senate."
