Regulate Sale of Dynamite.
The necessity of better regulation
of traffic In dynamite must be thor
oughly reinforced on ntost people by
recent events. The fatal experiences
that have been encountered of late are
sufficient to impress thst. All over
the country the sale and use of fire
arms are subjected to certain restric
tions and a great hue and cry has
only of late gone up against even the
lax enforcement of the laws control
ling them. No doubt restrictions on
the sale of dynamite vary In different
places, but manifestly either one of
two thin-Is true those regulations
are not what they should be, or they
are not enforced.
It should not be possible for an
unidentified derelict to buy all the
death-dealing explosives he has the
money to pay for. Before anyone
bought an ounce he should have au
thority from accredited sources, and
be able to satisfy the merchant as to
the use he intended making of it. If
the law were so framed as to Impose
a responsibility for misuse of the ex
plosive upon tha merchant it might
help to bring about the desired re
sults. In the California cases that came
to light soon after the appalling de
struction of life and property in Los
Angeles last autumn, evidence was
adduced to show that men neither
known to nor identified by San Fran
cisco merchants walked in and bought
allhe dynamite they pleased. It is
folly to ssy that tbla traffic could
not be regulated. It might not be
possible to secure absolute proof
against perfidy, but certainly there Is
room for great improvement. The gun
habit Is bad enough, but it is nowhere
near the potential evil of the dyna
miter. One need not Jump to prema
ture conclusions in any of the cases
now before the puhllo to appreciate
the need of better regulation of tha
sale of dynamite.
The Wild Calls in Vain.
The New York railroads are meet
ing with a new obstacle in their splen
did effort to rehabilitate the farming
industry of that state. It is the ob
stacle of scarce farm labor. Some
time ago these railroads essayed to
attract young men of energy and en
terprise to the soil, much of which
had been impoverished by lack of at
tention or the wrong sort of tilling.
Land was placed on the market at
very reasonable figures and the roads
undertook to aid tha farmers in helr
work of regeneration. The results
have been good and the prospects are
better. Now, however, arises a new
problem. Just as tha harvest becomes
great the laborers are . few. Many
young farmers, says the agriculturist
of tha Lehigh Valley road, according
to the New York Times, are tilling, or
trying to till, farms of eighty and 100
acres without help,' because "the men
who sit all day on the park benches
of this (New York) city" will not ac
cept employment on the farms, even
at the fair wage of $25 and $30 a
month with board.
This Is, indeed, a problem. New
York City, through Its offltlal bodies,
should see It it could not do some
thing to help solve the problem. Per
haps It might prevail on some of these
professional bench warmers to go to
work, or if they did not; choose to
accept xthe paid labor on the farms
that are crying forfhelr help, put
them to work for the city on rock
piles or in work houses where they
would get the board without tha wage.
Cities are entirely too tolerant of their
loafers. They are parasites on so
ciety and should be made to work
or "move on." They are the very fel
lows in v whose idle councils crimes
of the worst types are bred. The
labor problem for the farmer is ever
present, especially in tha harvest time,
out here in the west as well as in the
east, but there is no good reason why
sum a situation as this In New York
should' exist anywhere when there are
armies of unemployed men plenty able
for bard work and none too good for
thewages.

Open-Air Theaters.
When the New theater in -New York,
failed an artist in explaining why said
that such a theater aa that purported
to be was an idea, not merely a struc
ture of fine bluldlng art and material,
and the Idea had not been developed.
Now .New York proposea an open-air
theater with an J mm en a stadium,
where high-class plays may be pre
sented for popular prices, thus afford
ing opportunities to those not able to
pay for them at the ordinary theater.
- This kind of a theater Is also an
idea and should not fail for lack of
the Idea's development. It is in line
with other trends of thought. It would
be far more than a theater for the
presentation of drama. It would be
essentially a great educational insti
tution, for other forms of Intellectual
aa well as athletic, exercises and enter
tainment could have a place there.
Indeed, the New York Herald even
proposes, that it might afford space
for a baae ball diamond for the boys.
At any rate it would be a great thing
for New York with its congested mil
lions to have such a place of amuse
ment snd entertainment in the warm
months of the year where people might
go without being housed In. And if
it proved a success In New York, as
It undoubtedly would, the example
might ba followed In other cities all
over the land. In fact, thia probably
will In a very short Uma coma to
pass, for the Idea of open-air enter
tainment la popular.
Tha New York project baa tha
hearty endorsement of men prominent
In various lines of life and a sufficient
money backing to warrant its ma-
terlallzation. It is proposed to erect
the structure adjacent to the buildings
of the great College of the City of
New York, which doubtless would be
a very convenient and desirable loca
tion. Othe,r cities will watch with
more than usual Interest what comes
of this movement In the metropolis.
Just Cheap Advertising".
Because the draft of the Income tax
amendment, used as the basis of the
measure reported by the committee,
happened to bear his name as intro
ducer, our own Senator Norrls Brown
Is letting no opportunity pass to keep
in tbe public eye at every turn of the
progress of ratification by the states.
That, of course, is not unnatural and
quite to be expected, and no harm can
come from the Issue of dally or hourly
bulletins from the Brown press bureau
telling Just how the score stands.
But the learned senator, looking to
the main chance, Is evidently tempted
to ride a free horse to death. In a
self-made interview generously dis
tributed to Washington correspond
ents for Monday morning consump
tion. Senator Brown, after rhapsodis
ing on the imminence of the necessary
three-fourths majority, exclaims:
JiiBt the minute that I can get oppor
tunity to do ao. following, the conclusive
ratification of the amendment, I shall in
troduce an Income tax bill I have drafted.
It has been submitted to the beat authori
ties and It la designed to raise by taxation
of Incomes somewhere from 170,000,000 to
$100,000,01)0 a year, etc."
To be sure, nothing can prevent any
senator from Introducing anything
formulated for him as a bill that he
may please, but that is as far aa the
Income tax bill which Senator Brown
has had drafted will get. The trouble
Is that the levying of an Income tax is
a revenue measure and by express
provision of the constitution every
measure for raising revenue must
originate in the house. When it
comes to enacting a revenue measure
all the senate can do is to mark time
till the bill comes over from the other
end of the capitol and then make such
changes In it as it sees fit.
Aa a great constitutional lawyer
and an aspirant for a place on the
mighty Judiciary committee, Senator
Brown knows this as well as anybody.
He knows that he cannot set in mo
tion an income tax bill either before
or after ratification of the amendment
except by tacking It onto some one's
else bill that originated in the house.
In the Interval, however, the advertis
ing thus gained is JuBt aa good, es
pecially as it comes at no extra cost.
Serving Notice on Mr. Bryan'
The campaign for tha democratic presi
dential nomination next year Is getting an
early start. Governors Harmon and Wilson
and Speaker Clark are already tn the field
making hay. Certainly, any one of these
three, If nominated, should be able to com
mand the support .of every loyal and con
sistent democrat. World-Herald.
Mr. Bryan will please accept service
on this notice. Ha will observe, too,
that Governor Harmon comes first in
the World-Herald's enumeration of
available eliglbles for the democratic
1912 nomination. Governor Harmon
did not support Mr. Bryan Jn, 186 and
100, and Mr. Bryan has invited Gov
ernor Harmon to "prepare to stand
aside," and declared politely and pub
licly that he would not support the
Ohio man. Unless Mr. Bryan pre
pares to take it back he may expect
tha World-Herald to denounce him as
having ceased to be "a loyal and con
sistent democrat."
Returning From War.
It waa Mr. Cannon, who, speaking
of the late Spanish-American war, ob
served that any nation could "go" to
war,, but no nation could foresee all
that war might mean to It in the fu
ture. This is a very simple truth, one
whose simplicity is always more ap
parent on the return from war than
on the going. Every nation that has
ever been on-one of these terrible ex
cursions realizes that. This nation
has not yet and will not for some
years to. come eeasa to realise, the
force of the fact In Relation to Its last
engagement, inevitable aa that aeemed
to be.
But this counsel of Mr. Cannon's
waa repeated on .a very timely oc
casion In the senate the other day
when Senator Stone gave way to the
Impulse of war with Mexico. Of
course, there never waa any danger of
the Mlssourian'a plea carrying weight,
but it serves to remind us of the Im
mense Importance of having cool
beaded men on hand when the hot
headed onea get into action. The ex
perience of the United States in re
turning from her late wars in tbe sea
should census. In not only her own
citizens, but those of ottjer nations
who might he thinking of trouble. It
la always a longer way hack than It
seemed going.
Even should the Mexican revolution
end where it Is, it would be many
years before that country saw and
felt tha last of Its effects. It Is one
of tbe wars which aeeru to have been
unnecessarily precipitated and cool
heads in the southern republic, what
few there may be, will appreciate this
many times over before the nation
figuratively returns from its battle
fields.
Now If the late Mayor Moorea were

PARTY GROUPS AND PLACES.
Philadelphia Record: These Insurgent
senators are either members of the repub
lican party or not. They cannot expect
to enjoy the privileges of membership in
the dominant party and also share as a
separate organisation in the distribution of
good things.
Springfield Republican: The action of
the majority In refusing to meet the In
surgent demand waa In harmony with all
the precedents of party organisation and
It cannot be much critlolsed In view of
the fact that tha Insurgent senators will
actually receive committee assignments In
proportion to their numbers. That Senator
La Follette's policy is of a disruptive
character becomes clearer day by day.
Philadelphia Ledger: The La Follette
senators either are republicans or they are
not. If they are, they must be treated
aa such; if they are not, they are entirely
at liberty to flock by themselves, but can
have no possible claim to party recogni
tion. ' On the La Follette plan the demo.
er'atlo senators might dlvldi Into three
groups, and if tbe committees were all
divided among them nt party oould ba re
sponsible for anything. -
Brooklyn Bagle: Thia trouble may be
compromised. The radical divergence be
tween tha views and policies of radicalism
and the views of conservatism cannot be
compromised. It la vital and everlasting.
The situation puts a real and stern respon
sibility on those democratic senators who
are conservative. If they stand together
another balance of power may be created.
If they yield to the majority la their
own caucus, and the republican insurgents
do not yield to theirs, then the radicals
win control the senate, and lasting damage
may ba done to a system of government
which on the whole has made for the pros
perity of the people of the United States.
If tha conservative democrats do not yield,
the worst mistakes feared from this s pe
dal session may be avoided.

MaKifttrate Appleton Is an old-faahlonert
sort of a person, w ho scatters Justice
aStfong the flotsam and Jetsam of the big
city. To all but one class of lawbreakers
he displays old-fashioned sympathy, re
flected In diminished flues. Hut the wife
beater gets neither sympathy nor consid
eration. Over the road to the Jug they
go as quick as the magistrate's machine
can work. In almost every case the mag
istrate expresses regret that the law dos
mil permit him to operate a whipping post.
The other day one John Adams appeared
In Judge Appleton's court. He was charged
with 'wife beating. Though a burly speci
men of mankind he cringed when he met
the magistrate's eye. "lld you beat your
wife?" asked the Judge.
"rthe saya I did," said Adams.
"Well, did you?"
""ay, Judge," responded Mr. Adams,
peevishly, "don't go for to pester me about
this. Jf she says I did, I reckon I did, tor
what she says goes."
Magistrate Appleton gaxed in astonish
ment at the wife' beater who betrayed such
a thoroughly domesticated dUposJ tion, ana
called Mrs. Adams. The court wanted to
know of that lady -it her husband had
beaten her.
"Him beat me?" asked Mrs. Adams.
"Nix, now. Judge, don't make me laugh.
That shrimp couldn't lick me In 4.000 years.
I brung him up here because he belt out a
dollar on me Saturday night."
"Discharged," said Magistrate Appleton.
As he 'watched the Adamses leave the
court room he leaned his hHid upon his

Johnny Donlvan, a New York boy, needed
a Job. The family was In hard straits. He
was only 15, but his father had been out
of work for some time and there were
eight mouths to be fed. In the course of
his search, relates Harper's1 Weekly,
Johnny reached Battery park Just In time
to see a crowd gather round the sea wall.
A man had fallen over, struck his head
on a rock, and was drifting seaward.
"Why don't youse go after him?" de
manded young Donlvan of the by-standing
men. They were the riff-raff that lounges
about the city parks, with one or two well
dressed strollers.
"He's only a tramp," said one of the
latter, regarding his natty ' clothes with
concern. "I'm not going to take any
chances. Resides, there's a boat pulling
out from that schooner over there."
"It won't reach him In time, you piker!"
yelled Johnny Donlvan. "I'll go for him,
even If he Is a bum." t
.Over the wall and out Into the water he
sprang, and, being a good swimmer, was
soon at the aide of the half-conscious man.
Then came the fight of his life. The man,
partially revived? by the chill of the water
and In a frensy of fear, seized the lad
about the throat. Twice they went down
and came up; and still nobody went to
their assistance. ' The boy made a terrific
fight. The man was almost unconscious
again, and Donlvan managed to pry him
self loose. Then he towed the man by his
arm to a nearby pier.
This story, appearing tn the city's news
papers, brought so many offeri thst a
hundred Johnny Donlvans could have been
supplied with Jobs.

Peru Pointer; Nebraskans have believed
for a long time that this state had a pretty
sensible supreme court, but since that de
cision last week of the Omaha automobile
oase they are sure of It,
Grand Island Independent : The chief of
police at Omaha recommends that the
dance halls b cloned at midnight. The ef
fect of this on the market value of Omaha
bands has not as yet been very damaging.
Of course such a step cannot help but be
of destructive effect to the city In general,
but so far nothing really serious seems to
have happenedl
Auburn Republican: Governor Adrch. in
signing the new medloal college bill for
Omaha, said that he did so reluctantly. To
the everatse Pmha man the declaration of
tbe governor seemed entirely unnecessary.
Pender Republic: Somebody haa proposed
that Omaha sell Mayor Jin) Pahlman to
Memphis, Tenn".. for i.&o0,oou He may ba
worth the price, but If he had to be Judged
by some V the speeches he made last fail
for governor he would be dew at W cents.
JAPAN'S LOSsKS IN WAR.
Veil e Secrecy. Lifted from 'the
, Mortality Holl.
St. LuuU qiube-Peinocrat-At
last the world Is getting tha correct
figures, or some of them, of the losses
sustained by Japan in the war of it04-06
against Ruaala, and they show that the
mortality was far greater than the Japa
nese pretended at the time. An 'article
on this subject by LJeut'enant Colonel
Charlne E. Woodruff of the medical corps
of tliaVnited State" army, published In a
New York medical nisgsatne, telle the
story. He obtained his figures from the
official report by the Japanese medical
buiean, and they are the first accurate
data which have been published In the
United States. '
The Japanese deaths from disease were
at the rate of 1.477 a month for tbe eight
een months of the, war. These were no
as nupieroua, man fur man, sa were the
deaths from disease In our army during
the clyll war, but the proportion of deaths
from wounds wss greater than with us.
With an aggregate strength of by
us In the Spanish war of 1WS we had very
nearly that many cases of sickness tn all
grades In four months, and Japan had
600,000 serious "hospital" cases out of an
army of KO.QuO In eighteen months. Our
medical and commtnaary departments were
known to be defective In 1808, while
Japan's was' believed to be as far ad
vanced as these of aKy ether nation, yet
In the comparison with Japan we do not
show up badly.
