Fight on the Sugar Trust.
The fhlcf counsel for the Sugar
trust, arraigned for trial before
the fetleral court on the charge
of violating the Sherman anti-trust
law, says that "It Is unfortunate that
business men cannot conduct a legiti
mate business enterprise without sub
jecting themselves to proceedings un
der a highly technical statute, about
the meaning of which the courts do
not agree and about the wisdom of
which most thoughtful men of all
classes are in serious doubt."
It Is extremely unfortunate for the
sugar combine that It was so recently
caught fed-handed in the perpft ration
of a system of frauds upon the govern
ment and that the net results of the
exposure sent several of its employes
and officials to inrlson and restored
$3,000,000 of hypothecated funds to
the public treasury. This sugar com
pany, which within two years after Its
organization, saw twelve of its com
petitors go out of business, may not,
as its defenders contend, be a trust;
It may not have violated the Sherman
law, but the very fact that for years
it conducted these systematic weigh
ing frauds as a means of cheating the
government out of millions of dollars
In revenue Is likely to make us a little
suspicious.
Reports say it will require two years
to prosecute this case against the sugar
people. That ought -to give ample
time for the fullest discovery of the
facts. Hy the end of that period there
should not remain the least vestige of
doubt as to the legal status or con
duct of this corporation. In the mean
time, since Mr, Loeb Is continuing his
quiet Investigation at the port of New
York, he may be able to offer some
evidence arising from the sugar com
pany's remarkable skill In manipulat
ing scales that may have a bearing on
the question of its compliance with the
Sherman law and its status as a
monopoly.
Task of the President.
A formidable task confronts Presi
dent Taft in the completion of the ad
ministration program. No greater de
mand has presented itself to a presi
dent In recent years. To begin with,
an enormous amount of work must be
done before the 1908 party pledges are
all redeemed. This, too, in face of the
fact that no administration has ever
accomplished more constructive legis
lation in the time this one has been
In office. It has simply not been possi
ble to complete the program, nor was
it supposed that It would be possible
to do in two years what was mapped
out for four years.
But it is not merely a matter of
work that confronts the president. It
is work with perplexing obstacles froih
the outside. Only three months re
main in which he will have a party
majority in both houses of congress
and the number of "lame ducks" in
this short session is so large as to give
rise to the belief that their soreness
may put a decided damper orr their
ardor to help out In the administration
program and the democrats, of course,
may be expected to devote the session
to filibustering as a preliminary to
their plans for organization in the
Sixty-second congress, where they will
have control in the house.
If all elements were to coalesce In
a faithrul determination to put
through the most and best possible leg
islation at this session, the task of the
president and the administration
would still be great enough, for the
list of measures to be acted upon Is
not only large In number, but in im
portance as well. It Is to be regretted
that conditions are unfavorable to the
completion of the Taft program, for
much of what remains unenacted is
demanded by public Interests. The
public must content' Itself, however,
with a generous measure of disap
pointment.
Health of School Children.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
bureau of chemistry of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, predicts the time
very soon when progress In health will
be rated on every school examination
along with progress In other lines, and
that pupils will be graded in their
physical condition as the practical test
of their knowledge of sanitary laws.
Ite adds that every school will have its
doctor, or corps of doctors, and physi
cal directors to Instruct the pupils just
as the teachers In other branches In
struct them. Perfect physical man
hood and womanhood will be the goal.
Dr. Wiley Is in the habit of taking
advanced ground on such matters, yet
he may not be too advanced In his
prediction. He certainly is not as to
that part of it pertaining to the physi
cal directors, for many schools now
have them, and he may not be with ref
erence to the other features of It. But
one need not agree with the doctor In
full as to the prediction to admit the
supreme Importance of teaching chil
dren the rudiments of taking care of
their health. Nothing is more essen
tial to excellent scholarship than good
health and nothing is more needful in
the best citizenship than good health.
At last we recognixe this fact. At last
as a nation we are thoroughly aroused
on the subject of sanitation. And not
simply aroused, but active. For proof
look at the various movements and
methods contributing to this one end.
We have set out to build up the
race. We are making some progress,
but if we follow out the suggestion
here offered by Dr. Wiley we will
make greater progress. It is laying the
foundation for a stronger, a new race
to bgin with the child in the school
room The scheme is not chimerical.
It is t.ot even Impossible of realization
i in a very few years. Indeed, there is
no real reason why it should not be
Instituted at onre. We have only to
review the amnzlng progress that has
been wrought in this direction to ap
preclhte the possibilities of greater ad
vance. Some things have been, are
being, done, which, a few years,
or at most decades ago, would have
been regarded as"tHJerly visionary, if
not impossible.
It is giving the most practical, sensi
ble form to education to add to it the
department of health. The race that
excels In physical manhood is going to
excel In the realms of intellectual
achievement. We need not look Into
the future for a precedent, either.
Only in exceptional caties have a people
weak physically borne the trophies of
mental supremacy.
The City Government.
Mayor Dahlman, in announcing his
program for an increase in the city's
budget, brings public attention to the
fact that definite plans must soon be
adopted for needed Revision in the
Omaha city charter. V The mayor's
announcement Indicates that beyond
the Increase 'of half a million n an
nual tax collections his ideas are some
what nebulous. Others who are in
terested find themselves In much the
same condition. Much talk has been
had concerning charter revision, and
many suggestions have been tenta
tively brought forward, but as yet no
concrete plan has been suggested.
The charter certainly needs revision
In several Important aspects. It la
especially desirable that some change
be made in the1' matter or control of
the several departments of city gov
ernment, so that the executive shall
be clothed with Doth more responsi
bility and more power. At present
too much is left to subordinates. Un
der the present charter the responsi
bility for administration of city affairs
and the expenditures of public money
is not defined sufficiently sharp to pro
vide the absolute control that Is neces
sary for wise and prudent manage
ment. In this regard changes can
easily be made to the end that the re
sponsibility may be firmly fixed upon
the executive and that he be given the
authority that is essential to the as
sumption of the responsibility.
In the matter of revenue it is cer
tainly necessary that more money be
raised for the purpose of defraying
the legitimate expenses of the city.
The police fund Bhould be strength
ened and more money should be pro
vided for some of the' other activities
of the city government. It may be
questioned, however, as to the advisa
bility of raising the additional half
million proposed by the mayor. This
phase of the question should be given
the most careful attention. It Is cer
tain that the taxpayers of Omaha are
not willing that their burdens should
be Increased by 50 per cent without
some very good reason is established
therefor. It might not be amiss at
present to submit the business affairs
of the city to a commission of experts
who would inquire into the various
expenditures to determine if it is not
possible to exercise economies in some
directions now overlooked in order
that more money could be had where
It is needed.
In any event, the city charter de
mands attention and should be given
the most careful consideration.
Telegraph Company's Liability.
The United States supreme court
does not think much of the "contract
agreement" which telegraph companies
print on their message blanks, exempt
ing themselves from liability except
for the amount of toll in case of non
delivery. In fact, as a legal obligation
with a binding effect In court, it does
not think anything of it. It has sus
tained a Judgment for $300 against
the Western Union in favor of a Kan
sas City firm that failed to receive a
message sent on one of these blanks
after 40 cents bad been paid for its
transmission.
A great number of persons will be
interested In this decision. It will set
up a welcome and useful precedent for
the future and perhaps it will compel
Borne telegraph companies to be more
attentive to the demands and rights of
their patrons.
The telegraph is a very necessary
element of business today and the pub
lic wants the best service it can possi
bly give. The rates are entirely suffi
cient to warrant that kind. Sometimes
large results hang on the prompt de
livery of a brier telegraphic message.
That is reason enough wh.ythe com
panies should not enjoy too great lati
tude in making their own arbitrary
rules and "contract- agreements."
Many a man has questioned the legal
ity of this very agreement, but some
how It has continued to have its effect
in favor of the company. The lower
court, in which this case was tried,
held that this contract was invalid,
because it conflicted with the state
law regulating such liability and the
supreme court sustained the ruling.
We may assume that this sets 'a prece
dent that will hold good in other states
as well and afford the public a good
safeguard.
The Kansas City Star says Mr. John
Brown of Gault, Mo., has raised rad
ishes twenty-seven Inches long. If they
are as sweet as the lines of a certain
Gault poet who got loose up in this
country once, we would suggest that
Mr. Brown sell them to a vinegar fac
tory. While the city council Id planning
to "shake up"' the lighting companies,
it should not indulge in any "shake
down." The relations between the
city of Omaha and the public service
corporations have uot been always the
most pleasant, nor have adjustments
i come easily. At present the city
i council hes It in its power to render
la great service by negotiating an
I equitable contract between the city
and the lighting companies. Nothing
I of present advantage should be sur-1
rendered.
Inasmuch an the Douglas County
Board of Commissioners Is dominated
by democrats, the public can patiently
bear'the scolding the board Is receiv
ing from the World-Herald and its
echoes, because it will not open the
voting machines again to satisfy a de
feated candidate that he Is really
beaten. The machines were ordered
Into action for the sole purpose of as
sisting the democrats to pile up a big
vote In Douglas county, and if any of
their candidates fell outside they were
merely blown up by their own ma
chine. Jack Carkeek, the wrestler who is
ordered from San Francisco back to
Omaha for trial on charges of being
an accomplice In the Mabray deals,
was once champion of the world in
catch-as-catch-can and Graeco-Roman
style both, a distinction no other man
ever held. It was his marvelous mat
work that stirred the poet laureate of
England to write a poem to him. How
have the mighty fallen!
The presence in jail of an alleged
Jury briber may lead to the clearing
up of much scandal that has tainted
Jury trials In Douglas county for a
long time. The investigation should
be searching and complete In order
that the facts may be known, and the
giver of the bribe should be punished
along with the taker.
Imputing only the best motives to
the postal department in Its crusade
against the get-rich-qulck enterprise,
one can scarcely overlook the humor
in the arrest of two men credited with
selling $100,000,000 worth of bogus
stock.
Still those waterways men who sere
scolding the president for not helping
their cause must admit that he has
done a little when be sends In his rec
ommendation for the expenditure of
$30,000,000 in one year.
The get-together dinner of the
Omaha manufacturers is a move in the
right direction. The "Omaha way" la
demonstrating that it is the right way,
and good is certain to follow on Its
systematic procedure.

Great Work Wlthont Noise.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The president, upon his return from the
isthmus, dlacussea with particular satis
faction the visible day-to-day progress on
the great earth -dike at Gatun, with its
concrete appurtenances. This feature of
the prodigious accomplishment of Ameri
can engineers at Panama resembles what
President Taft himself has wrought at
Washington. It has been achieved without
horn-blowing; It has risen, as Milton would
say, "like an exhalation," and the engi
neers have not sought to draw attention
to what they have done by loquacious
self-advertisement. They have worked
away, day after day, In a mute and sol
dierly spirit, and they deserve the cordial
encomium of Mr. Taft upon what they
have accomplished in a spirit similar to
that which the president himself ha
shown throughout hla administration.

Army Gossip
Matters of Interest on and Back
of the riling X,lne Gleaned from

The board of officers, which convened at
Fort Ijeavenwortli. Kan., some weeks ago
to consider and report upon the organisa
tion, equipment and training of signal
troops for service with a division, ha com
pleted Its work. The board had at Its head
Major Kilgar RushpII of the signal corp".
assistant commandant of the Signal school
at Fort Leavenworth, and It had for use
In Its work, field companies A. D, and I.
of the signal corpe. Fort Iavenworth Is

Omaha and D. A. Russell, respectively,
for the purpose.
The paper." In the cases of civilian can
didates who were examined at Fort Leav
enworth this month for appointment as
second lieutenants In the mobile army are
being marked at that post. The papers In
the case of candidates for appointment as
second lieutenants in the Philippine scouts
are reaching the War department from the
various posts at which the examinations
were held. It will be some weeks before
the papers of thoee examined In the Phil
ippines are received, and. of course, no
announcement can be made of the result
until after those papers are received and
marked.
It has been assumed that Brigadier Gen
eral Arthur Murray, chief of the coast ar
tillery corps, would be made a major gen
eral upon the retirement of General Duvall
on January IS. There la nothing to dis
turb the Impression and the expectation Is
that General Murray will become a major
general and will be succeeded aa chief of
the coast artillery by Lieutenant Colonel
C. J. Bailey, now on duty as General Mur
ray's principal assistant In the War depart
ment. The situation la rendered Interesting,
however, by the effort which la being
made by the friends of Brigadier General
Frederick Funston, United States Army,
to have him appolnte aa a major general,
General Funston, aa Is well known, Is the
senior In his grade and has been "Jumped"
by all the present major generala and
some who have been retired. It has been
pointed out to the president that, unless
General Funston Is appointed to succeed
General Duvall. he will not have a chance
to be advanced to the next higher grade
among general officers until the retire
ment of Major General F. D. Grant la
May, 1914. General Funston Is backed, for
the most part, by Pacific coaat Influence.
The War department will devote Its ef
forts, exclusively, during the coming ses
sion of congress to obtaining favorable
action upon the bill providing for addi
tional army officers. As has been stated
In these columns this Is the next subject
which Is on the approved program of
army legislation, originally adopted by
President Roosevelt and confirmed by the
present administration. It has been de
cided not to depart from this schedule,
which gives preference for this additional
officers' bill, and next In order, for the bill
authorising a general service oorps. Those
who are Interested in other projects will
be notified, in cases where they have not
been already, that the 'War department Is
committed to this bill and that anything
which tends to divide congressional Inter
est will be view by the president and
the secretary of war aa an interference
with the avowed purposes of the adminis
tration in the matter of army legislation.
It Is considered that this extra officers'
bill is the most Important subjeot before
congress so far aa the military establish
ment is concerned, and that nothing else
should be presented to."nuch leaa urged
upon the favorable consideration of, either
the house or senate. Bven under such
conditions It may not be possible to enact
the measure. It all depends upon Mr.
Taft's preference for bills of greater po
litical importance.
It ia possible that congress will take up
the question of an amendment of existing
law, that enacted In 1904, with a view to
rendering eligible to duty at the option
of the War department retired army of
ficers of, say, less than 09 years of age.
At present these assignments ' to duty
may only be made upon the application
of retired officers and. In view of the de
mand for officers for detached duty, It is
considered that It would be well to have
retired officers subject to recall when, In
the opinion of military authorities, this
Is necessary and desirable. The number
of officers on the retired list has been In
creased slightly In the past year, due,
largely, to the retirement of many com
paratively young officers who became In
capacitated during recent years becauae
of tropical service. Many of these young
officers, as well as some of the older ones.
are still able to perform certain claaaea of
duty, such aa recruiting, ataff duty not
with troops, military Instructors at educa
tional Institutions, and duty with the
militia. Kvery effort has been made to se
cure willing and physically competent re
tired officers for detached service, so that
some officers on the active list could be
relieved and returned to duty with their
proper organisations. Some of these of
ficers are not willing to perform active
duty unless they can select the duty and
the place or station to which they are to
be sent, while othera will not consent to
the performance of any active duty,
Furthermore, any retired officer assigned
to active duty must be relieved whenever
he withdraw his consent to the perform
ance of auch duty., The law In Its present
shape, therefore, does not readily permit
the War department to make extensive
use of the service of retired officers. It
would seem reasonable that. In emer
gencies, the government should be able to
require temporarily the services, on full
pay, of certain classes of retired officers,
provided their health and physical condi
tion be such as to permit of the efficient
performance of the duty to which it la
proposed to assign them.

You wash
two hours
That's one hour wasted!
Dishes get dirty, greasy and 6ticky and soap will not
clean them. Soapy dish water merely cleans the surface;;
it doesn't dig out the corners and drive out the decayedj
food particles. Moreover, 6oap leaves your dishes with!
a soapy, animal-fat smell, that is far from inviting. t
GOLD DUST is the sanitary dish washer. It not only!
cleans the surface, but digs deep after hidden particles'
of dirt and kills the germs of decayed food which ordinary
dish-water overlooks. GOLD DUST sterilizes as well
as cleanses.
Besides doing the work
better than soap or any
other cleanser can, GOLD
DUST will save just half
the time you spend in
washing disnes.
GOLD DUST is sold in

ages. The large package
offers greater economy.

THE ANNALS OF TOM.
St. Louis Post-Dlspatoh,
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Stole a ig and awny he run.
Hut where tin y had a month before
Not even followed from the store.
And people in the circumstance
Had hall. m1 him king of high finance.
And spinsters every block or so
Had tried to roje him for a beau.
And all the erring in the Jail
ApiwiHled to him to furnish ball,
And brokers, albeit he wore
Homespun, had rushed him to the floot
And made hlin head of the exchange.
And men had sought him to arrange
For loans of money, and the banks
Had begged him down upon their shanks)
For bis deposit, and a line
Of folks with something from mine
To rubber lands in Paraguay
Had come to see him every day
And battered at his office dootv
And Morgan and a doxen mora
Aristocrats beyond a doubt
Were fond of running in and out
Instead of this result, in brief,
The butcher followed, shouting; Thlefr
And In a little while the oop
Eegan to Fhoot and bellow "Stop!"
A thousand citizens engaged
In chasing him. They were encouraged,
And wondered anyone In town
Had not heard pork was going down.
Alasl for Tom. the littlo goose ,
He landed in the calaboose.
And there remains, Just like the ttms
When pork was selling at a dlmo.

That thief Is taking something small.
And In that somewhere forry haze,
