Height! Ideal Man for Bench.
President Toft's appointment of
Governor Hnghts to fill the vacancy in
the supreme court crented by the death
of Justice: Brewer la protiably the most
popular selection he could have inad
and wlfl .undoubtedly be received with
general satlKfactlon all over the United
States.
Governor Hughes represents the
best there is in public life. He stands
for complute and impartial administra
tion of law, Irrevocably against bocs-
Isra and graft in politics, the spoils
system and all kindred evils and typi
fies that kind of reform whlch wlth-
ut flamboyant methods, exposes cor-
uptlon, eliminates useless formality
nd secures the greatest benefit to the
reatest number. This has been his
record during both his terms as chief
executive of New York. Fearless, ag
gressive and sane, he has given the
people of that state such an able ad
ministration as to bring him into the
rena of national affairs as one of the
most conspicuous-figures of his day.
It was his relentless pursuit of the in
surance fraud that led to the general
wakening of the conscience of New
ork, eventuated in a political house-
cleaning and set an example for other
states that has been followed with
vital results. He has established in
his own commonwealth a new era of
public life and has secured the enact
ment of laws that will make it danger
ous anrl more difficult to reverse the
tide of reform and go back to the old
rder, thus giving to his services the
element of permanency and endurance.
Governor Hughes will bring to the
supreme bench ability, experience and
character especially fitting him for the
grave duties, and he has a judicial
temperament to back up his powers as
lawyer that will combine in making
him as great an Interpreter of the law
as he has shown himself to be a great
administrator. His high sense of the
solemn importance of the position fa
fully reflected in the personal finan
cial sacrifice he makes in accepting the
president's appointment. As to his
corporation proclivities Governor
Hughes' record is the best answer.
Most of the practical reforms he has
instituted, most of the investigations
he has forced, have involved, directly
or indirectly, powerful corporations,
nd yet the guilty have been pun
ished wherever convicted and at all
times prosecuted with impartial Vigor.
But corporations have nothing to fear
from a man of his sense of right and
Justice. He has protected these Inter
ests where they deserved protection
with as much vim as he has punished
them when deserving punishment.
The west, from the Mississippi to
the California line, which now has no
representative on the bench, will
heartily endorse the appointment of
Governor Hughes, wh comes from a
Circuit that waa not represented and
probably will socure, tha nex ,placo
available. Geographical, -considerations
never have entered into the mak
ing of these appointments.
New Tariff Law.
Since the new tariff law became
operative eight months ago the reve
nue receipts of the government have
Increased $50,000,000 over what they
were for the eight months a year be
fore; a year ago our deficit, the ex
cess of ordinary expenditures over or
dinary receipts, was $70,000,000; this
year it is about $15,000,000; the full
quota of labor Is employed, industries
are running on full time and paying
the highest wages ever paid in the his
tory of the country and the total ad
vance In wages for the year, it is esti
mated, will reach $500,000,000.
All these facts were pointed out by
Vice President Sherman in his St.
Louis speech and they ought to con
vince any unprejudiced man that the
new tariff has gone a long way toward
ameliorating the conditions for which
it was Intended and is fundamentally
sound.
But democrats and those others
bent on attacking the law for political
purposes prate about not enough re
vision downward. What is the pur
pose of downward revision in a tariff?
Is it not to open our doors to foreign
Imports as ameans to competition
that will affect domestic prices? Since
this law went into effect the Imports
of the United States have increased in
value over those of the corresponding
period a year ago $20u,000,000, or at
the rate of $300,000,000 a year. The
fact is, the downward tendency has
been so marked that, as Vice Presi
dent Sherman says, we need now to
think of checking the decline instead
of facilitating It.
Mr. Sherman did not go into the
maximum and minimum clause of the
law, and yet that is one of the strong
est elements It possesses. By virtue
of that clause, forced Into the bill by
Pesident Taft, from 60 to 60 per cent
of American exports have gone Into
foreign markets free of duty and nine
tenths of those paying duty have been
admitted at the minimum rate In those
countries.
More labor employed and at the
highest wages ever known, revenue
increased by stupendous sums, more
Imports, more domestic products ad
mitted abroad at lower rates pnrtec
tlon for labor and capital alike, the
highest prices to the farmer, and tho
cost of living finally on tho decline
tCese are things brought about since
last August when this tariff law went
into effect. What more could the law
have accomplished? What was It the
democrats expected? -
Both President Taft and Vice Presi
dent Sherman have admitted that even
they want further revision of the tariff
and propose to secure it, tiut no mat
ter what the republican party did, it
would not affect the campaign plans
of the democrats and should not be ex-
pected to If they should rudilenly '
admit the truth about the new law
they would that moment give up their
thief political subterfuge and the peo
ple shoiid not expect them to make
that saorlflc" on the eve of nn election.
Back to the Land ii the Cry.
Heads of large American steamship
lines are deploring the tendency of
American boys to turn their backs
upon the ruerchBnt marine and face
t n lnnrl t
" " I
OSBlolllty to
more lucrative eraploymen
They complain of the Impos
get enough youths to fill their appren
ticeships and admit that it is purely
a money matter. The boys are paid
10 a month and provided with uni
forms, which, until the glamor of a
sea-faring life wore off, has contented
the young men.
Why should it not be difficult to get
a boy worth having at that figure
when the future in such an occupa
tion, fraught always vith danger and
hardship, offers Bo little? If, .is the
big companies Insist, this money-mlnd-edncBs
on the hoys' part is impairing
the strength and undermining the
future of our merchant marine, why
cannot the owners of the big liners be
a little less money-minded and at leawt
come somewhere near paying as well
for their labor as similar Interests on
land have to pay? We begin to feel
that the boys are not alono tainted
with this evil of money-mindedness.
It so happens, Oiow ever, that there
Is more than tho mere matter of pay;
It is also the matter of treatment and
personal rights that deters many boys
from embarking upon this sort of oc
cupation. Many of tho big American
liners have sought to adopt certain
methods in vogue on British vessels
that hold the sailor In very narrow
lines of activity so far as his individ
uality is concerned.
The United States government has
a contract with fit least one large
steamship company whereby it carries
ten cadets on each of Its vessels and
It is possible the government might
intercede in behalf of the boys and the
companies at the same time and exert
an Influence that would In the end con
duce to the upbuilding of the mer.
chant marine, a necessary institution,
by securing concessions that would en
able the boys to do as well, or com
paratively eo, on sea as on land.
Omaha's Water Problem.
The passage by tho city council of
an ordinance intended to specify the
quality of water that may be fur
nished to tho citizens serves to direct
attention to the water situation. For
several months an agitation has been
In progress looking to the improve
ment of the quality of the water. Less
boisterous, but nonetheless deter
mined and important, demand has
been made for the improvement in
the quantity of the water. It has
long been notorious that Omaha's
water supply has been deficient in
both regards.
The responsibility for this situation
Is popularly laid at the door of the
Omaha Water company, the people
overlooking the fact that for more
than two years the water company has
held itself merely as a trustee for the
city of Omaha in the management of
the water plant. When the city coun
cil, under the provisions of "Senate
File No. 1," elected seven years ago
to proceed with the "Immediate
and compusory purchase cl the
water plant, the city was virtually
committed to the acquirement by pur
chase of the property of the Omaha
Water company. It la more than two
years since the board of appraisers
made its report, and the water com
pany accepted the award and tendered
its plant to the city. Since that time
the matter haB been in the federal
courts, where the Water board has
undertaken to set aside the appraise
ment.
The case was recently argued before
the supreme court of the United
States and a decision may be expected
from that tribunal soon. If it should
be favorable to the water company the
city will be required to assume control
and operation of the plant without de
lay; if it should be in favor of the city,
then the matter of appraisement will
commence anew and the termination
of the process of purchase wilt be in
definitely postponed. In the mean
time the city cannot compel the water
company to add to its plant.
This situation has confronted the
citizens for many months, growing
more serious as the city has grown,
and the demand for water haa in
creased. It is now well nigh intolera
ble and The Bee renews the suggestion
it has made from time to time, since
the effort to purchase the water plant
was undertaken, that some steps be
taken to relieve the situation. An
agreement certaluly ought to be easily
reached whereby the rights of both
parties to the controversy can be pro
tected and the citizens be furnished
with an adequate supply of pure water.
Personal and political aspirations can
now well be cast aside and the mem
bers of the Water board may render
a real service to the public by taking
he lead in this movement. If they
do not feel that they can, then some
one of the other o'ganlzatlons of a
quasi-public character nust make the
move.
The voluminous report by a govern
ment expert has'merely served to con
firm what was well known to the citi
zens of Oinaha that so long as water
is pumped from the Missouri river
danger of contamination exists. The
expert advises that as soon as possible
the intakes must be changed and that
better means for purification must be
j provided. The only real service ap

Frost Losses Trifling; Compared with

Cleveland Leader.
Again winter roturhs to a large part of
the country, and again great damage will
result to fruit and to early vegetables.
There is no hope that heavy losses can, be
escaped In a wide region covering- most of
the northern states east of the Rocky
mountains. But the crops which count moet
are still safe. They are not exposed to in
Jury from snow and frost. The spring plant
ing done so far is not extensive and there
Is time to do It again where the seed sown
does not coma up, on account of the cold,
wet ground. Winter wheat Is not far enough
advanced to be in danger of serious damaga.
Hay and. pastures will not be hurt at all
by the weather, which seems so unseason
able, after tho extraordinary warmth of
March.
Tho losses caused by the violent storms
and the revere cold which haa come with
snow and wintry gaJea will be moat exten
sive and hardest to make good in the fruit
districts of a doaen states.
But taking a general survey of this
country of Immense size and resources, It
Is true that so far the crops which coun

danger.

'from tho insurgent ramp. The other day a
nirtnher cf the press gnllrry tnckled Mr.
Norrls fur tils views on the comlno: retire
ment of Senators Ahlrich and Mule. Th
Nrbraskan Mew off k little Joyous steam,
relates the Washington Times, and whs
about to pnss on when the correspondent
sprung the question:
"Anything elce on your mind?"
"i have nothing el.su myself," remarked
Mr. Norrls after a moment's thought. "I
think, however, 1 know where I can put
you on to a nood story, but 1 rather hesi
tate to do so."
"What Is tlu yarn about?" he was aslu-d.
"Oh," observed NorrH, "it I right In
line with tho retirement of these two dis
tinguished senators. In fact it relates to
the retirement of a distinguished member
of the house. On second thought I hesitate
to do so. I don't think the member wants
the fact to become kmiwn Just yet."
The correspondent pleaded earnestly for
tho tip and finally Norrls agreed to give
it to him.
"I have Just come from the members'
dining room," said Norrls. '"Being late
In the afternoon there is only one member
of the houue kft In there. He Is now eat
ing his lunch. He -has gray hair and gray
whiskers and wears a carnation in his
coat. 1'ou go In there and tell him you are
a personal friend of mine and that I would
regard it as a personal favor if ho would
tell you the story of his retirement from
congress."
Tho correspondent followed Instructions
and found tho man who answered the de
scription given by Norrls. It was Speaker
Cannon, quietly munching a bowl of crack
ers and milk.
I was having luncneon In the restau
rant at the capltol yesterday," said a
prominent republican senator, "when the
man who runs the elevator took a seat
at the name table. He began to com
plain about his hard luck. He said:
I get only $0 a month and find it
almost Impossible to make both ends meet.
After I pay my rent, my board, my bar
ber and go to the theater onca or twice a
week there is nothing left.',
"The waiter came along then and I or
dered oxtail soup and the elevator man did
the same. Soup In the senate restaurant
is 25 cents. While I sympathised with him
he ordered a cup of coffee and a piece
of rhubarb pie at 10 cents each. I called
for my bill and my companion asked the
waiter the price of strawberries. He was
told 35 cents, and ordered a plate. That
made 80 cents for his luncheon, and I don't
know how much more he ate.
"I picked up the afternoon paper later
in the day and saw that Uncle Joe Cannon
had eaten a 10-cent breakfast at a dairy
lunch room. Tills Is one phase of the
high cost of living."
Appearing before the supreme court of
the United States a few days ago to in
troduce a constituent who was admitted
to practice on the senator's motion, some
one expressed surprise that Senator Klkins
was a member of the bar -of the supreme
court.
"Why," said a friend of the senator,
"Mr. Klkins practiced law In New Mexico
many years before he ever went to West
Virginia, and he has been a senator from
that state for sixteen years.
"Not only did Mr. Elklns practice law
In New Mexico, but he was United States
district attorney there. And his court
work was at a time when the official
language of the court was Spanish."
Senator Klkins seldom finds use for his
knowledge of Spanish these days, but he
manages to keep up sufficient practice to
enable, him to speak Spanish when re
quired, even though his days of practicing
law In the Spanish tongue have long slnoe
passed.
A good many thoughtful men In congress,
writes a correspondent of the New York
Post, are ready to condemn the impulse
which brought about the erection of the
two great white marble palaces as office
buildings for the members of the house and
sei;ate. They cost an enormus sum, and
they are most elaborately equipped and fin
ished, especially the senate bulking. It
has been estimated that for what the two
buildings cost a handsome, modern resi
dence in the best section of Washington
could have been built, furnished and main
tained for each of the 92 members of tho
senate and 391 members of the house. Some
of the legislators are beginning to think
the money might have been better ex
pended that way.
Two positive effects have resulted Blhca
the two office buijdings have been occu
pied. Representatives who can find any
cubbyhole ih the capltol large enough to
hold a roll-top desk and a swivel chair, do
not use the handsome new offices which
they voted money to provide for them
selves. Of course, the members of con
gress who have good committee rooms in
the capltol have stayed where they were.
What senators and representative do use
the office buildings for the conduct of their
business, use them because they cannot
find desk room In tho capltol In the
offices of the subordinates, under the clerk
of the house, of the doorkeeper, of the
sergeant-at-arms, and of other house at
taches, members have put their desks
rather than move over to the new office
building. They are ready to suffer almoHt
any discomfort rather than have to leave
the capltol.
Some of the rooms occupied by members
who are averse to taking up their quar
ters in the new office building, are the
most dreary and forbidding places Imag
inable Many of them have no windows
and have to be lighted with artificial
lights at all times. The air Is stale and
foul, because there Is no ventilation. Some
of the rooms are not big enough to swing a
cat In, yet members eagerly fight for the
privilege of getting and retaining them,
rather than have to make the long walk
over from the house office building,
through the subways that have been cou
Ptruetl or across the capltol grounds.
I'esplle the fact that all who can cling
to their nooks and crannies in the capltol,
the majority of the members of both
branches fire compelled to use the new
bulldngs. Ther absence from the cajiltol,
In the new offices, as was Ion it ago pre
dicted, and aa now demonstrated, has had
a most decided effect upon legislative
processes.' The distribution of the business
of the senate and the house among com
mittees haa greatly taken away from the
value. Interest and Importance of the floor
