Governor Aldrich Starts Something.
Governor Aldrlch s address before
the conference or governors has at
least started something. His vigorous
exposition of the scope, meaning and
effect of the Sanborn decision nullify
ing state regulation of rates on Intra
state railway traffic on the ground that
these rates affect Interstate rates, and
are therefore attempta by the state to
regulate Interstate commerce, has led
to the appointment of a special com
mittee, of which the aovernor of Ne
braska Is a member, to see to It that
the legal rights of the states are fully
presented to the reviewing court that
will pass on the sppeal.
That the Sanborn decision was cal
culated to put the states out of the
business of railway rate regulation al
together was fully explained at the
time by The Bee. It the fact that rates
on shipments between two points
wholly within one state must have a
co-relation with rates rhareed for
through traffic makes all rate making
Interstate, then the same logic would
apply to practically every feature and
phase of railway operation, aud we
would have to look to federal con
trol and regulation exclusively for re
dress of Individual and community
grievances against all common carriers.
The issue involved, therefore, is one
of most far-reaching ramifications, snd
its correct adjudication of the highest
importance.
What Governor Aldrlch has accom
plished,' however, is really to force
action that should have been taken
long ago. There have been yearly
conferenc of the governors while
these ts cases were pending, and
their lm. ; was known, but no con
certed efiort made to reinforce the
burden, tvhlch devolved wholly on the
state of Minnesota. The governors
could have intervened before the San
horn decision was rendered, as well as
they can now, but evidently lacked
someone to stir them up. His demo
cratic nredeeessor, as chief executive
of Nebraska, for example, could
have done what Governor Aldrlch has
now done, but he either lacked the
nerve or did not know how. The credit
mark, therefore, belongs to Governor
Aldrich
The Business Outlook.
It tne signs of the times indicate
anything, then the business outlook
has Improved somewhat in the last
month. Certainly the tone of the com
mercial world is higher and clearer
and the men who keep the books, so to
speak, are predicting better things Just
ahead.
Every authority places the crops at
a larger figure than was first figured
on. That means additional wealth
and resources. Bank clearings in
August exceeded the clearings ot
August, 1910. Building shows con
siderable gains generally. .. New de
mands tor tall and winter, are fair.
The number of unemployed is far less
than It wss. The number ot business
failures for August, while greater
than In the same month a year ago,
shows a much smaller amount of capi
tal involved in the losses. The show
ing of the steel market our industrial
barometer' was better in August than
any month this year. Pig Iron, an
other guide, is doing well.
It still stands to reason that until
the national campaign has come and
gone, business is going to proceed
along conservative lines, but that is
far from meaning dull lines. Itfhould
help the entire country a lot if employ
ers and their employes, who are at
odds, get together peaceably, for it
would be a complicating factor. Indeed,
to have large numbers of men and im
mense industries thrown Into involun
tary idleness on the verge ot the winter
season. Happily the prospects of in
dustrial peace are fairly good.
That Killing in Kansas.
Folks in Kansas do not take kindly
to the severe comment passed upon
them in connection with the unfortu
nate killing ot an aviator who met his
death in a flight reluctantly made la a
damaged aeroplane under the taunts
and Jeers of the spectators. William
Allen White characterizes as "flap
doodle and gush of the stereotyped
kind" the references to the murdered
aviator, "butchered to make a Kansas
holiday," and gives another aide to the
picture.
A professional aviator supposed to
take chances; that is part ot hla business.
The risk he takes Is the attraction that
draws the crowd. The man who was killed
gave a performance the -day before hla
death, and It was during this perform
ance that tbe Injury to hla machine Is sup
posed to have happened. He waited until
the crowd was assembled the next day be
fore saylns anything of the Injury. They
always do wait until the money Is paid.
before making their excuses It would
bave been easy to announce, earlv in tbe
day. that the exhibition would be called
off, but the aviators never do this. They
wait until the hour scheduled for the per
formance, and then make their explana
tions. The people of western towns have been
buncoed so often by the professional avi
ators that excuses are regarded with sus
picion. When these public flights are ad
vertised the Impression la created that the
entertainment la reasonably sure to occur.
People leave their work, and often travel
long distances, and pay their good money
to see the doings, and nobody can blame
them for being peevish when, at the laat
moment, the manager of the outfit an
nounces that no flight will occur,
because the wind Is too shifty, or the
heat Is too intense, or because the aviator
has the hay fever, or becauae his wife's
mother sprained her ankle. It Is such a
threadbare graft that the people are sick
ot It. ml they can't be blamed for throw
ing a few "taunts" and "leers" at the fly
smith who gives an exhibition of cold feet
Instead of an exhibition ot flying.
Not being fully advlaed ot all tha fas,
we are not prepared to accept and ap
prove Brother White's remarks, but
they are certainly straight to the point.
It aviation la to be commercialized, it
will have to be done on the square and
kept away from the gold brick methods
of imitation prize flghfs and fake
wrestling matches
The Shooting of Stolypin.
Trie csrefully punned shooting ot
Premier Sfolypm by sn assassin will
I evoke almost universal abhorrence
I even among those who have no sym
jpathy with the methods of oppression
practiced by the Russian rulers We
who live in a land of liberty, and enjoy
free government, can scarcely realize
the conditions that maintain In the
realm of the czar, where most of the
population chafe under the despotism
they must endure and where every oc
cupant or a position of power and re
sponsibility knows that his life is con
stantly In the balance. Had the assas
sin, with his ample opportunity to do
so, chosen as his target the ciar in
stead of the premier, the upheaval In
Russia would doubtless have been im
mediately precipitated. It is to be
hoped that unfortunate situation there
may not be made worse by this affair.
Pictures, Moving and Not Moving.
"No Beulah Binford picture shows
in Omaha," shrieks the Junior yellow
after decorating Its front with Beanie
trial pictures at every opportunity.
The patrons of the moving picture
shows must be protected at all hazards
against Immoral or crime-stimulating
exhibits in order to let the saffron
sheet bave a monopoly on that sort of
business.
And the wonder ot It all Is that the
machinery of our Juvenile court, insti
tuted to safeguard and reform way
ward boys and girls. Is the Identical
agency that circulates pictures of the
Beulah Binford type and thrusts them
into the bands of little boys and girls.
How long are our staid and dignified
district Judges going to stand for this
perversion and abuse of official author

Under the lead of the governor of
Illinois, the governors of six states
have by proclamation designated the
anniversary ot the great Chicago fire
for observance as Fire Prevention day.
Here in Nebraska our late legislature
ordained a semi-holiday to be known
as Fire day, and observed by fire drills
in all schools and public Institutions,
on the first Friday In November. The
particular day, of course, Is not impor
tant, nor the selection of the same day
in every state, providing the desired
object Is promoted, which Is to prevent
1086 of life and property by fire.
Nebraska furnishes the president of
the National Association of First Class
Postmasters for the coming year. But
it is to be noted that the man thus
honored is the postmaster at Lincoln,
the state capital, and not the post
master at Omaha, the metropolitan
city.
President Taft will be on the road
two weeks before he reaches Omaha,
and should by that time fully appre
ciate the rest program to be provided
for his sojourn here.
The saloon men and gamblers of
Chicago are standing first on one toot,

H1HMOXY WITH A SCYTHE.
Colonel Bryaa's lrsbsy Cnte Pro
voke n Scream.
New York World (dem.)
Allen G. Thurman used to say that John
R. McLean "t out his scythe the moment
any other Buckeye democrat was more
than knee-high Mr. Bryan has such a
scythe, albeit the edge is turned, and he
wings It apain at Mr. Underwood, who.
It seems. Is "tainted wUh protection." '
Mr. Underwood Is the man who as chair
man ot the house ways and means com
mittee brought a united patty behind Cana
dian reciprocity and sent a farmers' free
list bill and bills revising the woolen snd
eotton schedules to the senate.
Mr. Bryan la the general who led the
army of tariff -reform up the blind alley
of 16 to 1 and had the democratic party
write on Its banner. In the words of the
1S9S platform, "Until the money question
Is settled we are opposed to any agitation
tor further changes In our tariff laws."
The one man has done something for
tariff reform. The other first relegated It
and then choked It in a rank growth of
fad. Mr. Bryan's service to the cause Is
that he once called protection a deadly
upaa tree, but he made the metaphor
respectable by applying it to so many bet
ter thing. Mr. Underwood's offense Is
that ha has labored mightily to banish
that party futility in which Mr. Bryan has
seemed to prosper.

Genteel 'anae for Burglary.
In Paris, reports Vance Thompson In
Collier's, many reasons are given why a
French army should ' operate'" in Morocco
by wy of aiding the "pacific penetration"
of that land. Here it may be well to state
Just what this pleassnt sounding thing Is
Pacific penetration is an admirable mode
of action, far simpler and less dangerous
than burglary. It consists in laying hands
en the resources of a country for example,
you secure the mining resources by getting
concessions, the financial resources by
guaranteeing the taxes, customs and other
sources of Income. Two Instrument are
needed.
The first is a bank to make loans, the
second la a promoter to plan railways,
bridges, docks snd canals. When the In
evitable bankruptcy comes the country has
been pacifically penetrated, and it only re
mains for the army to step In and enforce
a bankrupt sale, whereby the penetrators
do not lose
6o France is operating in Morocco. We
know the political interests at stake and.
in a way. the economic interests. Then
there are the financial intrigues of the
great banks without taking Into account
"the honor of the flag and the glory of
France."
Already the great financiers are whisper
ing together When finance talks in a
whisper, history begins to get Interesting.

The Tallc of War.
Meanwhile they talk of war. Even Eng
land talks: "To our last shin, to our lsnt
shilling, to our last man." and other un
wise words. France has mustered all her
regiments to full strength. Her twenty

The national Industry of Prussia." said
Heine, "is war."
The Chief DOlnt tO consider is whether
Prussia can carry on that business with
success. There are In the artiva arm
4,500,000 trained and competent soldiers. Be
hind them are S.WO.OOO recruits, more or
less efficient. It Is. then, an armv of

mobilized, there would remain in the

Of course, not all these troops could be
brought into the field. In Berlin they say
(with fine tact) that the war when war
comes will be fought on French territory,
and, boasting aside, that Is douhties tm.
The military plan (for in a broad way there
is no secrecy about It) la to form an army
of combat consisting of 2.000.000 men the
best trained troops in the empire. A third
minion will be Immobilized In the fortresses
and the garrisons of the great lnduttria.1
centers In order to suppress possible social
istic disorders. The "generalstab" has cal-
cuiated that it will cost marks a day
to keep a man In the field. In other words,
that army of 8.000.000 men win is .
000,000 marks a day 640.000,000 a month.
Where la the money to come from?
The Hop of Peace.
In the Juliustrum of tbe fortress of fcpan-
dau is the remnant of the ransom paid by
France in lan. which amounts to 400,000,000
marks. In addition, the kaiser can make
us of the 800,000,000 of fortress and hospi
tal runds. Thus Germany would begin war
with 1.200,000,000 marks. How long that
would last, you may see for yourself; not
long. Th rest of the money for even one
year's fighting- would have to be raised by
new war taxes or by loans.
Her it Is th hop of peace lies.
Economists do not believe that Germany
could pay these heavy war taxes or bor
row (in time of war) save upon ruinous
term. Paris, of course, would not lend,
nor would London nor fit. Petersburg. The
bourse of Vienna 1 not important Ther
remain, then, only New York. And this
seems clear: Germany, in her present finan
cial condition, can not tight unle Ameri

This is no theory of mine.

Scientific Revision
Soma Pertinent Remarks on
the World-Herald Editor with
More Brass Than Knowledge.
Under this title the Wall Street Journal
discusses tariff legislation with particular
referenoe to an Omaha critic, as follows:
It haa been the duty of this newspaper,
In the Interest of Investors who might be
affected by the tariff changes, to publish
scientific analyses of Important schedules
of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff, showing the
true intent of the burden Imposed. Inci
dentally, wo were obliged to handle sched
ule K ('wool and manufactures of-wool")
In a way to which Its author and bene
ficiaries were by no means accustomed.
Th fact had never been so presented be
fore. Th article Were copied all over the
United State, and presently we began to
hear the first intelligent talk upon the
tariff question. This was th demand for
scientific tariff revision.
Among other newspapers th Omaha
World-Herald profited by thee article, for
th most part appropriating without ac
knowledgment. When you hav been caught
stealing, one recourse 1 to abuse th vic
tim. Th other method of saying that what
was stolen was of no value would not hav
worked In this case.
"Editorial sycophants the world haa al
waya had and they are just a repugnant
to an honest man as ever. The Wall Street
Journal advocated a reduction of th wool
tariff and published some excellent articles
in favor ot It, but as soon as Taft vetoed
it hastened to remark that 'it was a con
sistent and courageous act. The president
acted rightly,' etc." Omaha World-Herald.
August 24. 19U.
An illustrious exemplar, among hla other
legacies, left us an example in controversy
which our Omaha contemporary uses as a
sufficient substitute for argument. When
anybody differs from you, do not give h'm
credit for good intentions or for mistaken
Judgment. Call him a "mollycoddle." a
"Sycophant." a liar or a crook, and let
It go at that It save argument, and also
It saves the labor of Investigating fact.
We do not believe our contemporary ha
ver read a single line of the tariff law
which it denounces, to say nothing of
analyzing th meaning of its clauses or the
incidence of the burden It imposes.
This country is committed to a protective
policy, howvr repugnant it may be to
thi "honest man" In Omaha When a man
tells you that he Is honest, or a woman that
she is virtuous, they voluntarily crea:
suspicion. All we have asked for is a
scientifically constructed tariff. It is neeec
sary that agitation should be political; but
constructive legislation. In th opinion of
President Tsft and an Intelligent and in
creasing number of Americana, with thi
newspaper, should be scientific. Th
amended woolen schedule did not profess
to be "free trad," or "tariff for rvnu
only," and wa not In th slightest degre
more scientific or better Informed thin
the Payne-Aldrlch tariff, and for that we
offer no defence.
We hope the tariff commission will ob
tain the result for which It was created.

If It doe not w think w can show- con
gress where all the reel information obtain
able can be had. We w-ant to give th
president a chance, and congress a chann
of doing something consistent in tarlr:
legislation, for the first time In fifty-five
years. It this incidentally means a reprieve
for th woolen manufacturer or the wool
growers w cannot help It.
Our sympathies are all with th consumer,
but his chief sufferings hav been from hvt
legislative work In th past, and we think
h can wait a little longer to get the work
properly done.

TWILIGHT.
Ainslle's Magazine
How many thing are like thi sad. sweet -hour.
When neither light nor darkness rules
tha world
And nsture lulls to slumber ev'ry flower
Before night dusky banners are un
furled. A solemn hour when all thing bright must
die.
That made th world so radiant fair;
Th sun pal crimson fde upon the
sk v
The breath of night la In the perfumed
air.
Perchance there's some desire In our
hearts V
That, like this dying day. will ne"r see
The light that hope to evervthlng imparts.
And never blossom to reality.
Some secret love that never must b told
Some hidden wih om thought of un
galned fame.
All sink on life horizon, dark and low.
Just Ilk the sunset dying evening;
flame.
Whose life 1 there thi twilight doe not
mark.
Whose heart is ther that does not hold
within
Some poor, dead hop that one burned
like a spark.
And struggled herd It victory to win?
So struggle day against th coming night.
Till, weary with the shadows on her
breast,
She yield to darkness all her treasure
bright.
And slowly sinks. Just Ilk our hopes
to rt.
