A Nation-Wide Bate War.
Resumption of hearings by the Inter
etate Commerce Commission in what is
known as the Bpoksne rate case, has
stirred up a renewal xf expressions of
such bitter hostility among trade in
terests of the Atlantic seaboard, that
it is apparent they fear that the decis
ion of the commission will be again in
favor of the west. While the Spokane
case originally was purely a local Is
sue, It' has grown until the east Is
squarely pitted against the west in a
nation-wide rate issue.
Spokane originally pleaded that the
existing system of transcontinen
tal rates discriminated against that
city, as against other Interior
points, and after Investigation the
commission decided In favor of a
revision grantng reductions in favor
of Spokane In that decision the
commission did not attempt to estab
lish either class or commodity rates east
of Chicago, but laid down the prin
ciple that water competition might
justify lower rates to coast cities, in
accordance with the authorization of
the commission the railroads pre
sented a schedule of readjustment of
Intermediate rates, and It is this re
sultant basis of tariffs submitted by
the western roads which has aroused
the ire of the east. The plan of the
railroad managers Is not only to dis
continue the confusion of blanket rates
now In existence1, but to lower the rates
from Chicago to the west. Thus the
rates from eastern points to Spokane,
for instance, would be fixed by adding
to the Chicago rates westward the local
rates from the eastern point of ship
ment to Chicago. Easterners claim
to see In this a removal of the Atlantic
seaboard to Lake Michigan, while the
westerners protest that In the pro
posed readjustment of rates they
stand on their rights as conceded by
the commission based on the advan
tages attaching to water competition.
In its previous investigation the In
terstate Commerce Commission found
that western Interests were being dis
criminated against. - The resultant
action of the western railroads was to
fix rates eliminating this discrimina
tion. The present plea of the east
that now It is being discriminated
against, seems a good deal like beg
ging the question, and the east will
have to prove Its case. The disputed
rates were the direct result of the
commission's discovery that In the
past the east did not "totefair." The
frantic effort of influential Interests
of the Atlantic seaboard to prevent
the readjustment of transportation
charges thus authorized will not pre
vent the commission from pursuing its
Investigation quietly and judicially to
a sound conclusion, of which the west
is in no wise afraid.
I . .
Saving the Babies. .
Nothing Is more pathetic than the
wan face of a sick baby or the .flutter
of a spray of white at the doorknob.
Thanks to the progresslveness of
modern science, the visitation of the
ghostly white hearBe is no longer the
frequent menace of the home and in
stead the bulk of the children of pro
gressive cities now beam in that con
stant state of "chubblness" which
President Taft applauded a few days
ago.
The most shining work In reducing
Infant mortality has been accomplished
In those cities which early embarked
In school and home medical Inspection,
and in this respect New York has
shown the rest of the country the way
On the heels of the fine results
achieved in that city by close work in
the public schools comes the estab
lishment of a bureau of child hygiene
which authorities regard as one of the
most important steps ever taken in
preventive medicine. This bureau un
dortakes to rouse parents to consent
to medical or surgical treatment in
the cases of the defective children dls
covered through the tests of the bu
reau of municipal research. The sys
tern has been in vogue l'ong enough to
report absolute results In 95 per cent
of the cases approached, with a great
Improvement In health. The bureau
also follows up a transcript of nil births
reported and by advice and aid to
mothers Is embarked on the saving of
the lives of thousands of babies who
ordinarily would die before the age
of two years.
It tins been a deplorable fact that
under the pressure of household cares
in many city homes the health of the
child has been allowed to take care of
Itself until too late for recovery. And
In the restoration to the infant of his
birthright of sound health, the sclen
tits of the modern city have knighted
themselves among the great benefac
tors of the race.
Eyery-Day Heroism.
Not all of the heroes of life are those
periodically labeled by the Carnegie
commission, nor is It necessary to do
something spectacular or melodrama
tic to win recognition from judges of
manly or womanly conduct. Promptly
and fearlessly meeting the unexpected
crisis In the day's affairs Is the test
whether one is fit to shine, and so
cold-blooded a critic as Uncle Sam ap
plies that principle In distributing his
applause for good conduct.
The Navy Pepartraent has awarded
to John King, a humble water tender.
a medal of honor and a gratuity for
what it terms extraordinary heroism.
King was at bis post when a boiler
tube on the scout cruiser, Salem, blew
out, forcing steam, gas and flame
from the . furnace into the fireroom
among the men. King was out of the
immediate danger sone and could read
lly have escaped harm, but Instead he
sprang Into the hottest part of the
flame, turned the prvper valves that
ended the roaring and infernal 1last,
and thereby saved the lives of bis fel-
lows at the cost of great personal suf
fering. The hero modestly Insisted in
the midst of his bodily torture that
he had but done his duty, and that was
true, but how many would have fled
their duty in the face of such a pre
dicament? The Navy Department's action In
marking this obscure devotee to duty
aa a distinguished hero is a striking
example of the fact that we nil love
to honor the roan who stands firm and
faces down every ugly crisis that sud
denly rears Its head. This Is the prin
ciple that applies to every walk of
life. Only a few days ago President
Schurman said to the students at Cor
nell: "The real hero In university life
is the man who conscientiously does his
university work." Substitute the word
daily for university, and you have a
constant maxim for all mankind.
What Ak-Sar-Ben Offers.
The entertainment program pro
vided for Ak-Sar-Ben week Is fully up
to' the standard which has been set
heretofore, and now that the street car
strike Is over there is no good reason
why the people from all the surround
ing country, for whom It is especially
prepared, should not come In and
share In It equally with the home folks
who live here.
Ak-Sar-Ben has achieved the repu
tation of making each succeeding
demonstration excel the one that has
gone before, and while retaining the
aubstantfals to bring in novelties that
make the old ever new. Unprejudiced
observers who have seen the carnival
displays In various parts of the coun
try, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans,
the Veiled Prophets in St. Louis, the
Priests of Pallas In Kansas City and
the floral parades In Los Angeles, are
practically unanimous In their verdict
that, all in all, Ak-Sar-Ben at Omaha
ranks with the best, and In many re
spects is superior to any one of them.
Ak-Sar-Ben brings to the people of
Omaha and the adjacent country a
spectacular exhibition, coupled with
wholesome amusement, that would
well repay coming thousands of miles
to see. It remains for those who have
this great treat brought almost to
their very doors to take full advantage
of the opportunity.
Publication Fie.
The corporation tax law enacted by
the late democratic legislature pro
vides, among other things, that the list
of delinquent corporations failing to
respond to the invitation to come
across should be given publicity by
newspaper advertisement, for which
purpose the legislature thoughtfully
appropriated $1,000, and with a delib
erate design to have this prize awarded
on a truly nonpartisan basis left the
designation of the two newspapers to
the democratic governor.
'In due course of time the delinquent
list was compiled and put into type,
making In the neighborhood of four
pages, and the momentous hour ar
rived for the governor to cut ythe pie,
whereas, lo, and behold, the favorites
proved to be the local democratic or
gan In Omaha and a professed repub
lican paper at Lincoln.
It may be Imagined that the law re
quired the publication to be In one of
the dally papers printed at the state
capital, and there being no democratic
daily that the governor was forced to
fall back on a paper of republican per
suasion. But such is not the case.
The law devolves upon the secretary
of state the preparation of the list. In
the form of a proclamation, after
which he "shall Immediately cause a
copy of said proclamation to be pub
lished in one issue of two dally news
papers to be selected by the governor."
Naturally, in distributing pie to the
faithful the democratic governor is
supposed to consider all tho circum
stances. Past service, of course, can
not outweigh promises of future use
fulness. There1 are a half dozen dem
ocratic dailies scattered throughout
the state which have been doing yeo
man service for the party in season
and out of season, and which doubtless
harbored the hallucination that they
should have preference over some
newly converted near-democratic
newspaper. Why, for example, should
the Fremont Herald not have prior
rights over the Lincoln Star? Why
should the South Omaha Democrat,
whose editor sacrificed three months
of his time last winter as state senator
to help put this law through, take a
back seat while the rewards are
handed over to the enemy? Why
should democratic dailies .like tho
Plattsmouth Journal, the Nebraska
City News and the Hastings Repub
lican be relegated to the mourner's
bench? Why should the Lincoln Star,
professing to be republican, be se
lected by the .democratic governor as
beneficiary of half t he appropriation
made to reward democratic newspa
pers? Perhaps some of the demo
cratic dallies who were left out in the
cold can furnish the answer.
It is plain enough now why the dem
ocratic World-Herald overflows so con
tinuously with sympathy for "oppressed
progressives." It formally invites them
now to come over and help the demo
crats out of the hole by voting the
democratic ticket. Dissatisfied repub
licans are always weJ'orue in the dem
ocratic camp whether they are pro
gressive, regressive or digressive, but
no true democrat must stray out of
the pasture.

Prophesies that Failed.

the sun, moon, Jupiter and Saturn, and he
expected that southern Italy would again
be ylsited with a violent seismic disturb
ance. Well, the crisis has beeen safely
passed, and Mr. l'erret, who was In Mes

without a lynching for the needless alarm
he created. Maybe the Sicilians felt that
they were in no danger as long as the

Wrong; Construction Flared on Parts
of the Winona Address.
Minneapolia Journal.
No utterances of a public man in recent
times has been more persistently misunder
stood than the - president's address at
Winona. It has frequently been held an at
tempt tq read the insurgents who voted
against the tariff bill out of the republican
party. Nothing (ft the kind Is to be found
in the speech itself. The president said;
"I am not here to criticise those repub
lican members and senators whose views
on the tariff were so strong and Intense
that they believed It their duty to vote
against the party on the tariff bill, it is
a question for each man to determine for
himself. The question Is whether he snail
help to mutnlain the party solidarity for
accomplishing Its chief purpose, or whether
the departure from principle in the bill as
he regards It Is so extrtnie that he must
In conscience abarulon the party."
This Is the so-called reading-out passas'?.
The president was talking about the alleged
depurtuies from principle la the tariff bill.
He did not road anybody out or In. He
simply stated that the Insurgents hud made
It a matter of conscience, and he could no;
criticize any man for making important
measures matters of conscience. Later the
president said:
"1 am glud to see that a number of thos'i
who thought it their duty to vote against
the bill, Insist that they are still repub
licans, and Intend to carry on their battle
for ewer duties and a lower revision within
the party lines. That Is their right and, in
their view of things, their duty."
How, If the president hod read them out
of the party, could he recognize their right
to act within the party am their duly to
vote against the bill? If they were put out
of the party, they were not in it. If they
were in it by the president's own admis
sio tfne certainly could not have said thai
Khw were out.
The Journal la seeking to treat President
Taft fairly, to read into his speech his
intent, for he is put a platform expert.
He talks frankly. Certainly, President
Taft cannot have meant that Minnesota
ought to change Its course on the tariff
question, for that would be asking too
much. The people of the northwest are
Intelligent'' and they aim to be fair. They
are registering a protest against a tariff
policy that simply gives Urge profits to
a few at the expense of the cousamtr.

The bulletin of the New TorK State De
partment of Labor for the first half of 1309
supplements reports from other Industrial
sources of the onward march of prosperity.
Returns to the bureau from 192 representa
tive trade unions of the state, with K.0OO
members, or one-fourth of the total union
membership, show a continually declining
proportion of Idle members from tS 3 per
cent In January to 17.4 per cent In June.
"Comparison of the improvement In 13(0,"
says the bulletin, "with that of earlier
y'ars for the period from January to June,
which is normally one of increasing busi
ness activity, due to the regular spring
revival In certain trades notably the build
ing and Inland marine transport trades
shows that, although the difference Is In
most cases small, the decrease In Idleness
on account of trade conditions was greater
this year than in any one of the last four
prosperous ye,ars prior to the panic of
1907."
A sailor from a British ship stood In
Broad street, relates the Sun, gazing at
the towering buildings. Moved by the
thoughts which arose In him he remarked
to the world at large, "We could stand
off your bloomln' 'Ook and smash these
'ere skyscrapers while we was takln' tea."
A sailor from an American warship
crulsjng without much seeming purpose
overheard the remark, drew up alongside
the speaker, and said, "You couldn't hit
the whole state of New York If you had
smooth water and all day to find your
range."
Several people stopped; a policeman
drew near.
"Why not?" asked the Britisher.
"Because of that," responded the Yan
kee. "That" was a well-directed blow which
landed on the Briton's chin, and which
drew a counter equally well aimed at the
Yankee's chin. Neither was very swift
possibly because of a certain degree of
fatigue noted In both sailors produced by
overindulgence in sightseeing.
The policeman took each sailor by a
shoulder, shoved one north and one south,
a little, but, moved by a common pur
pose, they circled the officer,' and presently
had exchanged blows again.
The patient cop again separated and
launched them In opposite directions, but
now he kept an eye on their movements.
Seeing them, with an exhibition of his
own degree of patience, again coming to
close quarters he Intervened.
"See here, lads," he said, holding them
apart, "you must g'wan."
"I enn knock his block off," the Yankee
declared.
"Hl'd be doln' some'nt w'ile 'e's doing
that," declared the Briton.
"You don't want me to run you In,"
the,' copper urged. "Go back to your
ships."
"I'd go, but I 'aven't a tuppence In me
trousers for the tube," said the Briton.
"And I haven't a nickel In me Jeans for
carfare, neither," the Yankee said.
The copper sighed softly, produced two
nickels and gave each sailor one. The
tars locked arms and swung off toward
the Wall street underground station.
"I say. Jack, your bobbles are a proper
sort," remarked the Briton.
"You bet your life they are," responded
the Yankee! , '
' James Watsdn ' Webb; son of W. Sew
ard Webb, and grandson of the late
William H. Vanderbllt, who is looked
upon as the probable heir to many millions
of dollars, is spending his vacation In New
York, after a year of hard labor in the
shops of the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road at Milwaukee. "The men In the shops
with whom I have been working," said
young Mr. Webb, "are princes. They didn't
know- who I was and they took me light
In for my own sake, and were calling me
by my first name in a week. Just as man
to man. they have no superiors on earth.
Their word Is their bond. The standard
or morality among worklngmen is just
as high as In other classes. The life of
the workingman is sane, the kind every
man ought to lead. The laboring man is
not lacking In brains, but in an opportu
nity to develop them."
One of the privileges offered visitors
during the Hudson-Fulton festivities was
the boon of riding for. five cents on the
midway stairway which leads from the
sidewalk to the trains at the downtown
entrance of the elevated rood at Sixth ave
nue and Thirty-third street.
A phllanthopist with a sharp and shaven
chin and eyes In which there was more
furtiveness than Is usually found In the
eyes of well doers, stood at tho foot of
the moving stairway and conversed in whis
pers with the passersby whose clothing
ory manner appeared to Indicate that In
their pockets they had a return chrcfc
entitling them to leave New York when
the celebration was over.
"Best cliunce of your life," whispered
the sharp-faced man. "Only chance you'll
ever have torlde on a moving stairway
Take you up and back for five cents. Tell
your folks about it when you get home.
He had for sale little printed tickets
bearing the line, "Good tor one Ride."
Some of the purchasers of these tickets
at 6 cents a ticket did not wait till they
got home to tell of the financial trans
action at the bottom of the muvltm stair
way. They rode to the elevated platform
and when they discovered that they had
been deceived in that they could not ride
back on this same stairway for the same
nickel they reported the case to the ticket
chopper on the platform.
Said he after he had notified the police
and the sharp-faced ma.i had been chased
away: "That census report that t;lves
one a minute as the legal rate doesn't be
gin to lul. the story."

his good will. Ho was never known to

home town there was a loafer who did not
seem to possess a single redeeming trait.
A wager was made that Col. Morrison
wouldn't be able to say one good thing
about this fellow. Finally a crowd col
lected and began to talk about the worth
lessnesn and vlclousness of the fellow. All
had spoken except Col. Morrison, who re

Mr. Bryan, in his present active cum
paign for rehabilitating the democratic
party and saving the nation, Is happy In
the possession of a rule that works both
ways. When the unity of the democratic
party and the welfare of the nation de
mand it, he stands ready to castigate and
rebuke so prominent a democrat as Senator
Bailey, bearding him In his own state.
When Senator Bailey challenges Mr. Bryan
to a Joint debate. Mr.. Bryan finds that the
unity of the" dcftiocratlc party, etc., will
suffer when two of its ablest champions
start to maul each other. Having set out
to elect a democratic congress next year,
Nebraska's faithful son thinks it unwise
to accentuate the unhappy differences of
opinion which animate democrats when
they talk on the tariff. Here, then. Is. a
happy solution for an ancient difficulty.
If democrats, when they get together, will
persist in fighting, then don't let them get
together! Let Bryan at El Taso, San An
tonio and Dallas announce that Bailey is a
traitor. Let Bailey at Austin, Fort Worth
;ana Houston proclaim nran a raker, but
i nm nl aaveruse aemocratic oissen-
slon by appearing on the same platform.

My son. my son, now what have ye done
that your optics are blncklsh brown.'
And why doth your ear today appear to
be put on you upside down?
Hast fallen beneath a trolley car or been
In a falling lift?
And why are your teeth all out beneath,
thus giving your Jaw a shift?
My son, my son, didst blow in a gun that
Hhot off your fair eyebrows?
What twisted your spine so out of line
that now you make sldewlse bows?
And were ye a fool to tickle a mule and
stand at its rearward heels,
Else why were these splints and black-
nnd-blue tints and bruises and
scratches and weals?
My son, my son, didst think to have fun
by dodging an automobile?
Your head has been whacked and four
ribs are cracked, your cheek la be
ginning to peel.
Did dynamite burst at Its mightiest worst
and shoot off the finger and thumb'.'
Come, tell nie the trnuth, my pitiful youth
have you been assailed with a bomb?
"Aw, cut It
about?"
all out! What you tnlkln'
the lad makes a mumbling
reply.
"I haven't been hurt; I'll get well with
