Some people seem to. think that if the tali of Hally's eoniet would ftniy wipe out the New York Stock exchange they would be perfectly, willing to be wiped out themselves. According to Mr." Kruttschnitt, the Union Pacific has saved the public over $160,000,000 in ten years. Unpub lished postscript: Also made a few millions for its owners. It seems to have turned out all right for the couples who were married In Omaha on Council Bluffs licenses, but theV'parsons" may have something to explain to the authorities. The New York Stock exchange has at last expelled a member from the or ganisationwhich goes to show that In addition to. bnlls and bears, the stock market also needs a goat. .What really hurts the World-Herald most la "Doo" Tanner's open confes sion is the Intimation that Its own editor-congressman was elected only by the help of "liquor Interests.", Bandits held up and. looted a New York hotel this week. This goes to prove the statement that If one really wants to experience , wild and woolly existence he should go back east. . The city council is calling on the tVater board to explain. Careful read log of the city charter shows ' that wherever it Ife mentioned the Water board Is declared to be paramount. Just because Nebraska is out of debt and the state treasurer has a lit tle "money on hand, every branch of the official service is getting busy on plans to spend a bigger appropriation.

The heroic defense of two negro petty criminals raaJa by Sheriff Nellls of Cairo, 111., will, without doubt, put him down on the pages of history as the peace officer, who, using the only effective methods, suppressed mob vio lence and upheld the honor of the law. Although It is to be deplored that any oue should lose his life .In a riot, yet tt Is still more deplorable that, there should have - been occasion for such vigorous action. One of the noticeable things about the Cairo riot and the re pulsion of the mob Is that the armed protection of the law and the order "to Ehoot If necessary" should alone prove effective. But it is a sad con dition of affairs that shooting should b the defense necessary In- this cen tury of advancement and civilisation. An eastern clergyman has made the statement that mob violence is an Im patient protest on the part of the great common people against delay In the administration and the too frequent miscarriage of justice. He asserts that In every case mob violence has bSen instigated, by a continued flagrant violation of law and crime against Individuals. There may be grounds for this statement, but that mob violence is Justifiable or ever really accomplishes anything but harm and more crlmo, Is not true. , No re spect Tor law or for Justice is aroused In the minds of the criminally inclined by equally Criminal outbreaks.' On the contrary, it tends to make martyrs of the victims In the eyes of other crimi nals, with the added impression that our laws are Bhams and of no Impor tance at all. There have been many delays and miscarriages of justice, it is a shame to ay, but mob violence does not help matters. In fact, it makes It worse and in tho long run defeats its own frentled purpose. Mob violence al ways partakes of the nature of revenge and creates' an equally antagonistic spirit 'of revenge. The strict and sure enforcement of law, as In the recent case of the two Kansas City negroes, does more to prevent 'crime than all the mobs in creation. In the meantime It is to be hoped that the example set by Sheriff Nellls of Cairo will be of benefit to the other peace officials of the country and that tie terrible fate Of the leader of the mob will be a warning to all leaders who would in stigate mob violence for the unlawful visitation of vengeance. Night Eiders and Federal Imdiotment. In the indictment of the "Night Riders" by the federal grand jury a hard blow has been struck at the law less element In Kentucky, which,. as a result of investigations, has been dubbed "the foster child of the to bacco trust." ; "Night Riders" have been prosecuted under state laws as felons, lawbreakers, peace . breakers and. for Interference with the freedom of .individual citisens, but little im pression seems to have been made upon them. But now that the federal government has stepped In. wtth In dictments on the charge of conspiracy for the restraint of trade and for In timidation, , we, may expect a more ef fectual barrier to be thrown up against these practices and that with the fed eral government "in the saddle" an end will come to the whole business. Kentucky, the home of the American feud and American "Moonshine," Is giving up, with a good deal of re luctance, some of the methods and ro mantic customs of centuries ago, Not that Kentucky . is behind the times, but that the chivalrlc and daring spirit of a Morgan still runs riot in her veins and yields to "modern Industry with reluctance. , But when her com petitive, methods In business are car ried to such an extent that a ruthless war of extermination is waged among tobacco raisers it Is going a little too far. A trial by a federal court on the proper charge, provided the trial es tablishes the guilt of the parties in dicted, should put a damper on this relic of medievalism. Measures for Irrigation. The bill now ' before the United States senate for the Issuance of $39, 000,000 In certificates to continue the work of reclamation meets with ap proval throughout this western country. The east, although sot unfavorably in clined, has nothing directly at stake. This bill will provide the necessary funds for putting the water, now stored in reservoirs, where it will be of great benefit to the settlers In their work of opening up new tracts In sev eral western states. These certificates call for 'cash from the government eventually to be repaid out of the pay ments by the settlers. A great deal of money has already been spent by the government In mak ing possible the Irrigation and recla mation of great stretches of desert lands, rendering them suitable for cul tivation. Immense amounts of money have been spent in the erection of great dams and reservoirs for the stor age of water for both power and for irrigation, and it would be foolish to stop short pf completion. The people of the west are greatly in favor of reclaiming these great wastes of land which, when once their richness and fertility are made possible of develop ment, are sure to support a large popu lation. One reason for the failure of neces sary funus Is that the withdrawal from the markets of vast tracts of land for lnvettlgatioa ss to the possible pres ence of minerals and metals, has cut off a source of revenue. The tale of these lands would furnish needed funds without which some other way must be provided. The possibilities of great profit from reclaimed arid soil must appeal to all congressmen and senators who want to expedite the settlement of still unoccupied psrts of the country. . , j Ex-OoYernor Sheldon's Program. . After a protracted liibeinntlon In the cotton country of Mississippi former Governor Sheldon has returned to Ne braska with a complete plan, perfects J in all Us details, to solve the eternal liquor problem once and forever so that it will never bother us again. Careful perusal of the program of liq uor legislation outlined by the ex gov ernor shows,- however, that it is In fact merely a resurrection of tho plan he had formulated for subm!d!o.i to a special session of tho legislature utter the election which dccreeJ thnt ho v. aa to have a democretlc succflsrer- !n tho governor's office. The questions h? propounded to the members cf the t'r.ea out-going legislature cover the main proposition now advanccJ, namely, tho enactment of a law for state-wkio pro hibition suspendable in municipalities by a three-fifths vote. Tho addition of new planks which are now affiseJ go to the question of ways and mvan3 an5 are of minor moment, except inrofr.r as they might be impracticable- without prior congressional legislation, if not altogether unconstitutional Invasions of federal authority. The Boe expressed its opinion cf this program at the time ,it wan promul gated by Governor Snellen, and its subsequent embellishment dons not change it in the essentials. Nebraska is now, and has been so held wy the courts, to bo under state-wiJe prohibi tion, except where the people of Incor porated cities and towns vote to license the sale of liquor under regulations and limitations prescribed by law. In this decision every qualified voter In every community is the eqtial of every other qualified voter and the majority rules. Tho Sheldon plan would make two prohibition1 votes nullify inree 11 cense votes desiring to change from dry to wet, and presumably would permit two prohibition votes to overcome three license rotes recorded against changing from wet to dry. Instead of majority rule It would be the rule of two-fifths, which everywhere else is minority rule. Most people believe Nebraska has a pretty good license lafl" at any rate all proposals for radical innovations so far projected have been rejected. We would suggest to our amiable democratic contemporary that Instead of taking The Bee to task for reprint ing the county option lugubratlons of our distinguished democratic state senator, the Hon. "Doc" Tanner, it ad dress itself directly to that scintil lating light of democracy whose praises it has so often sling. A negro herb doctor, without even a license to practice, Is said to have doctored the Swope family twice and. at 110,000 per doc.- If the investigation of that case goes far enough it "may develop that a carpenter, a blacksmith and a plumber also rendered profes sional services to the Swopes during their illness. Andrew Carnegie says that million aires must justify their existence; and one is led to ask for the standard of justification. ' Is he to set his own standard, or are the people to do so? There Is a slight disparity between the two and it would be wise to have that point definitely settled In advance.

Another DUtrlbatlon of tho' Public O fJoutatn Plaanod. :' f SAHtaare American. The opening to homestead settlement of 4,lMt,000 acres of public lands which have been held In foreat reserves will constitute a land distribution vent of considerable importance. It la understood that the landB to be released art valuable for agri cultural pursues, and being so there will be something of a rush to pain possession of them when they are. handed out by the government In accord with th provisions of the homestead law. It cut up lnt 160 acre parcels there will . be 25.0CO farina passed around, and If cut Into eighty-acre parcels the number of homestead settlers will be doubled. Th release bt this 4,Q0O,O0Q scr will yet leave 1SO,COO,000 acres In: th national forest reserves. There are-large areas, of landi weet of the Mississippi river which have been. surveyed and which fcre not hekl in any of the reserves, but which h.v never been taken up by homesteaders. Altogether there- are more than 200,000,000 acre of these surveyed, I but undistributed lands, there being nearly 80,000,000 acres In Nw vada, about 27,0(0,000 acres in N6rth Da kota, oyer i2,C,O0O acres in Colorado, about 21.0CO.O0O acres In California and 80.OCO.OCd acre In Montana. Some . of these areas are Irredeemable "bad lanels." but a con siderable percentage of the yet unoccupied lands In the newer states will eventually be put to productive use through irriga tion processes. . ; Ther are also immense land tracts not Included In the spetiaH reservations which have hflt yr been 'surveyed. Leaving Alaska out of the ocunt, the urea test u surveyed area Is In Arizona and aggre gates about 23,620,000 aores. Ther are yet nearly 27,000,000 acre or unsurveyed lands In Nevada and more than 24,000,000 acres f thHs class In Utah. Plainly enough, th national government la stU an extensive landholder.

Inpresatve Fact Concerala Rail, road Earnings. St.' Louis Pioneer Press. A bulletin Issued by the Associated Ship pers' Publicity Bureau of New York fur nishes some striking figures that are to be used as arguments against th plan of th railway companies for an Increase of freight rates throughout the country. In the original campaign of education, th railway companies uaPd the shipping statis tics of 1847 and 1907 to support their con tention that an increase in rates was warranted. The shippers have used the same figures to prove the other side of th cas. In th -decade under dlscusalon hr was an increase ot 355 per cent in miles of track. 78 per cent In the numbsr of passencers carried, and 142 per cent In tons- of -freight transported. The present tonnage " 'offered ' to th rallroada equals that of 1907, and all indications are that the volume of business for the frerit year will exceed that trf any year In his tory, furnishing a fully adequate return on the Investment necessary to supply the facilities added by the transportation com panies. In a financial way, the ' statistics show an Incrsas of ISfi8.20I.B8; In tha net Income of the railroads in 1907. compared with 1R97. In th sa-mc period the dividend rate was Increased from 5.43 per cent to 6.23 per cent and the total increase la the amount of stock paying dividends was 13,845,108,225. The total outstanding capital stock of railroads In 1907 was I7,a6,8ei,g3i. The amount needed to pay per cent divi dends on this capitalisation was $441,411.70L The actual net income of all th roads In 1907, after paying operating expenses. In terest on bonds and ail other fixed charges was t449.4fil.188 or more than lg.000.tti0 in excess of the amount needed to pay ( per cent on all the . capital stock, Including watered stock and overcapitalisation. It Is evident from these official ficures that the present scale of freight rates is producing results more than sufficient to provide reasonable returns upon legitimate railway stocks. , 1 . 1 Olir Birthday Book rebruary 19, lSlO.

Japanese methods of benevolent assimila tion, which attract International attention In Korea, have reached full development In Formosa. The island ceded to Japan a a meagre trophy of successful war with China, fifteen years ago, haa undergone a remarkable transformation. Walter A. Bmlth, one of the American sugar kings of the Philippines, who recently visited Formosa, telle In the Cablenews of Manila what the Japs have done to th Island and tho natives. Pome of the natives objected to the swallowing process and took to the woods with such weapons of war as they could procure. Insurgency gavo the Jape ume cxerclso for a few yean, but they fna ly burled the dead and corralled the living-. Mr. Fmlth says the remnant of tha rebellious natives, 80,000 In number, are herded together In lame corral, sur rounded by live wire fences, and guarded by large detarhmiwts of police. The sexes aro ns;ldly separated, with a view to the ulr'.-tlnctlon of 4he race. Every square mile of the cultivable territory I utilised In raising tea and sugar under Japanese supervision. Th new government built gtea-n and electric railways In every reeflju direction, opened fine ports, con structed reads and bridges, water works, electro light planta, and set a hustlinn pan for v,ry subject of the Mikado, who followed the flag to the Island. Material prosperity undT efficient and stable gov ernment la evident on all sides. Talhoku, tha capital of the Island, has a population of lfOOCn. and has been transformed Into a modern olty. Wide streets have been opened, end wherever a native house stood In th . way of atroet Improvement, ob structed park plans or other public pro ject. It Is swept away, and the owner given such compensation as the authorities ace fit. There are a few schools devoted to rudimentary education. Separation of the rao?a. such as Pan Francisco proposed and Japan resented, Is carried out In Formosa sen no's, the natives not being allowed In classes with Japanese boys and girls. A few native policemen oonstltute tha sum total of native psrticltiatlon in tho govern ment. . In every way the supremacy of the Japanese Is Imprewscd upon the natives, and opposition, commercially or other wise Is not tolerated. In the opinion ot this American observer, th change wroughtv In Formosa by Japan In little moro than ten ,ears Is a triumph of en llShtened despotism. Ralsull dead? And Perdlcarls living! The notorious Moroccan kidnaper and ban dit I said to have been put out of busi ness by poison. It la only a report, possi bly a means of enabling the picturesque bandit to read another installment of hi" own obituary. Just a plain, ordinary bandit with extra large ambitions, was Ralpull. when In May. 1304, be challenged the world s attention by aelsing and carrying off Mr. Ion Perdlcarls, an American citizen living In Tangier, and his stepson, Mr. Cromwell Varley, a British subject In the spring of 1904, Ralsull made an especially notable coupe by capturing Mr. W. B. Harris, cor respqndent of the London Times, whom he held a a prisoner unUl he waa ransomed. Even this feat of banditry did not oatch the public ey to any extent. Ralsull then made a master stroke by descending. May 18, with a large band upon the splendid chateau of Mr. Perdlcarls, on a hill only four mil fiom Tangier, and csrrylng off the wealthy owner and his stepson into the mountains. Representatives In behalf of tha captive American wer quickly made to Washington by the many Trenton friends Of Mr. Perdlcarls, and Mr. Qummere, con sul general at Tangier was urged to make vary effort to obtain Mr. , Perdlcarls' re Ieaae. American warships were sent to Tangier as a persuader and Secretary of Stat Hay Issued the ultimatum, "Perdl carls allv or Ralsull dead." Mr. Perdl carls was given his liberty and the Inci dent olosed. M King Albert I, the new ruler of Belgium, Is reputed to be a gentleman and a scholar and an expert In engineering. The latter qualification la largely the result of a Btu dlous visit to the United States some yeara ago. In. tola swing around the lepubllo he dodged alUthe social functions he could, preferring to see the wheels" go round In big shops and mills. When he struck Pittsburg th mighty captains of Industry there showed him through the endless miles of biff, works until his tongue was hanging out of hi mouth, but he was happy. He wanted to pitch camp and stay a year. Which was good evidence of th stuff he had In him, for most visitors are keen to get out of that city of unholy mirk, money and madness by th first train. Th prince and Georg Westing nous hit It off like long-lost brothers. Everything that concerns Industry has th right-of-way with his attention, especially th sclenoes. He's well up on electricity, metallurgy and economics, and ha leo tured on these subjects considerably more than one. 'Ireland's prominence lh the political af fairs of Great Britain at th present tlm is rivalled by the recrudescence ot Gaelic origins outsld of the Emerald Isle. Until a vary recent period Germany supplied all the printing In Gaelic characters that was to be had In Europe, the art being wholly lost even In Dublin. German col lege and libraries contain almot aa many Galio documents a Ireland. Th Gaello revival at horn restored the print ing art and Gaello books and newspapers are now quite numarou and multiplying. Th moat Interesting feature of the re vival, however, la It development across the English channel. , Throughout Bel gium and France there Is a veritable Celtic wave arising that finds Its force, not alone In the study of th Gaelic tongue, but In th claim of Irish descent being made by th best families of these coun tries. In the, as wall aa in all Europe, Irish xlle for centuries have sought the prises of life denied them at borne and achieved merited distinction In every line of action. Th continental ttieam was far tea noticeable than the tide to th west, but It made up In strength and native ability what It lacked In numbers and loft Its Impress In each. Th present re vival abroad springs from the Irish lit erary uplift at horn, stimulated, doubt less, by th persistent political cohesion of the people and their tenacious struggle for racial autonomy.
