II i K biialness has been complaining of uncertainties and demanding as a moans of restoring confldenro to know more of the government's pro gram with reference to Industry. While such a position has not, dut Ing the life of the present administra tion, seemed tenaM, yet If further In formation Is required, it surely will be obtained through the suit asking the dissolution of the I'nlted States Steel corporation. Steel. In the vernacular of 'the trnie. Is the business barometer of the country. In his report on the steel Industry filed last July, Com missioner of Corporations Smith made this significant statement: The Blrcl corporation la the Kreatet In duKtnnl concorn In the United States, with the largest properties and ef Inter national Importance. It la the most con spicuous example, of the modern corporate organization of great bualneeaea. Aa such, the reliitlon of Its Investment to Its cap italization and to Its earning power are matters of public concern. The public must recognize, there fore, the formldablencss of Its under taking in dissolving a trust that ab solutely controls every detail of its own business from the ore In the ground to the finished product, and not only that, but lias relations to other lines of industry that in trenches its position. The basic industry of steel mak ing, ns the commissioner of corpora tions has staled, affects all the peo ple. In the beginning and ever since, the ruling motive of tho Steel com bine was the curtailment of compe tition. The integration of the steel Interests really began in 1898, but it was in 1901 that the combino de veloped its strength. Then, accord ing to the findings upon which tho government's suit Is based, a fair market value of Its tangible property was $700,000,000, slightly less than one-half its capitalization. On De cember 31 ,1910, the tangible prop erty valuation was placed at f 1,187, 000,000 and the capitalization was $1,408,000,000. An average rate of profit on the corporation's actual in vestment from 1901 to 1910 of 12 per cent was maintained. Dissolution of this gigantic com bine would doubtless have a final ef fect upon whatever "similar suits are yet to come. The government has come in this case to the crux of its policy of treating with industrial combines and takes its longest step forward in that diroctlon. . The Treasurer's Office. Fow people realize the importance of the office of treasurer to be filled at our coming election. The county treasurer not only handles all the county and stato funds, but Is also cx-offlclo city . treasurer, and treas urer of the school district. If South Omaha should vote fqr annexation, he would would hnve .added to his charge all tho money now collected and disbursed by the city treasurer of South Omaha, and when Omaha takes possession of Its water plant he will presumably he custodian of its revenues. Upon the county treas urer will devolve the negotiations and sale of all the bonds already, and to be, voted and disposed of for the next two years. The best estimate that can be made figures a total of not less than $22,000,000 of public money to puss through the hands of the treasurer to be chosen next month. Most people will have to pinch themselves to grasp the size of $22,000,000, and then see It faintly. Dut ro one who fully understands what 1- Involved will hesitate to vote for W. a. Ure, the republican nom inee for county treasurer. Mr. Ure's honesty is unquestioned, and his ability demonstrated. He can, and will, make good In the office, and in respect to qualifications for dis charging the duties and meeting the responsibilities, he is so far ahead of his democratic competitor that com parison would be odious. He Is verBed in methods of accounting, and thoroughly familiar with the finan cial needs of the county. His ene mies have been acquired by fighting in the public interest. National Good Eoads Congress. The first American Road congress to be held at Richmond, Va., begin ning November 22, should attract delegates from every state In the union. Nebraska, which has a good roads association, has not yet reached the point of development where It has a plethoric treasury and the as sociation is without funds this year for sending a delegate to Richmond, nevertheless It Is the belief that a delegate will go, even if be pays his own expenses, or perhaps they wllll be paid by a voluntary subscription from the association. However that may be, Nebraska has taken ad vanced ground In favor of the good roads movement. It has the soli that naturally makes good roads and is already far ahead of many states In the good roads It has built and Is maintaining. Traffic and legislative problems relating to the use of public high ways will be threshed out at this Richmond meeting by experts from this and European countries. The idea Is to give, if posblble, some tan gible Impetus in this country to the good roads propaganda, so us to make it general. Locally, In differ ent states. It is making excellent headway, but what it seems to lack la concert of action. It has not taken on the definlteness of purpose that Is needed to make a success of any such enterprise. 'A special feature of the Richmond congress will be "road users' day," when object lespons will be made of the actual ubo of public highways. This part of the program will be under the direction of the Touring Club of America, The fashion which has sprung up so much of late of touring the con tinent or states in antos Is far more than a fad, as will be shown at thU convention. These men are doing things to promote the gospel of good roads. Indeed, the auto Is an Insist ent factor In that movement. Men who have devoted much time and thought to touring will give the con vention and the country through it the benefit of their experience and observations. Another Object Lesson. The latest lawsuit acquired for us by our Water board la a proceeding Instituted to prevent the stock yards and packing houses at South Omaha from securing water from an Inde pendent supply of their own. The Water board i;ets up that the fran chise lately granted by the city of South Omaha for that purpose Is void for various reasons, among others as an Invasion of the exclusive right of tho Omaha Water board to furnish water in all the territory now sup plied. We hold no brief for tho stock yards people nor do we care to dis cuss Ht present the. legal phases or merits of the controversy, but wo cannot help pointing out this new ob ject lesson of business sagacity on the part of distinguished Water board. When the appraisers insisted on including under the purchase clause that part of the water plant within tho city of South Omaha, the Water board and Its high-priced attorneys strenuously objected, and endeavored to cut off, not only the Btock yards and packing houses, but the whole of South Omaha as well. Now we see them going into court to prevent the segregation, which they themselves tried to accomplish. They see at last that cutting South Omaha off, as they had originally desired, to that extent impairs the revenues of the water plant without proportionately reducing the Investment or cost of operation. Again when permission was sought from the South Omaha mayor and council to construct an Independent water plant, the Water board through its main spokesman appeared on the scene and gave assurance that It would have no objection, provided the franchise was limited to stock yards and packing houses. The or dinance was so amended, and the stock yards people proceeded to act upon Its supposed authority, while our Water board stood by in apparent acquiescence. After Idly waiting for months until the stock yards com pany had actually begun construc tion, and had gone to no little ex pense, our wise Water board sud denly wakes up to the necessity of protecting Its rights even though it renders valueless everything already done toward the construction of the new supply plant. We take It the courts will adjudi cate the rights of all concerned, but no matter what the outcome, the emi nent business men, financiers and legal luminaries who constitute our Water board appear; In a peculiar light. Writing about Indian warfare, General Miles in his book says that whenever the Indians surprised the whites, It was denounced as "treach ery," but whenever the whites tricked the Indians, it was "strategy." When the democrats steal the popu list label through a dummy populist committee, It Is "fine politics,' but when the republicans block the de liberately attempted fraud, It is "an outrage." ( Now we know why Mayor "Jim" was beaten for governor while Mr. Hitchcock polled a majority of the votes for senator last year. It must have been because the senator went on the ballot aa a populist as well S3 a democrat, while "Jim" refused to perjure himself by falsely swearing that ho was a populist. Why not Watterson? asks a New York democrat in speaking of the next democratic presidential nomi nee. Perhaps no reason other than that Colonel Watterson Is a hard working newspaper man who is not seeking public office. One James K. Johnson writes to the lloston Herald to sound the alarm thut "there is great danger that such a man as Foss or La Fol- lette may be elected president next year. What has disturbed Mr. Johnson so early? If outward Indications count there are a few local trusts and combines here, too, which vigilant and ener getlc county prosecutors, not so busy with democratic politics, might break up to the advantage of consumers and common people.

In Other Lands Side Llckta oa What la Trans piring Among the ear and Far Tlatlaaa at the Earth. tJ.rrtnral Itrvolatlna In Sweden. Sweden's recent elections, the first held under the new law granting manhooa suffrage, resulted In the overwhelming iftat of tr,e conservative party, miner. all-powerful In the nation. Out of 230 members In the lower house of the new Kiksdag, 103 are liberals, slaty-four con servatives and sixty-four socialists. The latter party division Is the only one tlsfled with the returns. Liberalise. scored a notable gain, but Is fourteen votes short of a majority over afl. Not only are the conservatives humbled In number, but the various political kinks attached to the suffrage law, designed to etrengthen the party In power, were swept aside by the voter as ruthlessly as amuluam before a flood. The result made necessary the resignation of the conser vative Lindman ministry. Heretofore Swedish ministries were not dependent on pariamentary majorities In the second chamber, the support of the first chamber and the crown being sufficient. But the ueclslve character of the election man date rendered a conservative ministry Im possible. The task of forming a liberal ministry has been committed to Karl f-taaf, the liberal party leader. Though offered representation In the new minis try, the socialists through their leader, HJulmar Brantlng, declined the offer, pre ferring to maintain their independent position and utilize every advantage likely to come to a party holding the bal ance of power. Democracy la not con tent with the sweep of manhod suffrage In the lower house. It Is proposed to change the constitution of the first cham ber, the members of which are elected by town and parish councils, by providing for direct election. The king, It is un derstood, appreciates the significance of the peaceful revolution and Is moving with the tide of public sentiment. ClTlllaatloii and Land Grabbing. Guglielmo Ferrero, the Italian profes sor, entertains grave doubts of the al leged benefits conferred on civilization by the land grabbing policies such as Italy and France are working in northern Africa. In an article written for the Paris Figaro Prof. Ferrero admits that the superficial benefits of modern civil ization follow In the wake of European conquests railroads, sanitation, public se curity, Justice. Judged by such standards, the work done by France In Algiers and Tunis would seem to Justify Italy's mis sion in Tripoli. But Prof. Ferrero has spoken with men of affairs In Tunis and Algiers, and upon the question of the ulti mate outcome these men have shaken their heads. When the railroads and wireless and European civilization In gen eral have bitten far enough Into Moslem society to engender decay and decomposl tion, what will happen then? The con fllct between a civilization triumphant and a decadent civilization at bay ha i several times remade history. Irish Prosperity. At the annual meeting of the Associa tion of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, recently held In Dublin, Lord Brassey, the president, stated that the small Irish farmer was doing better than the small holder tn any other coun try. Earnings from farms, ha said, were being supplemented from entirely new sources. The returns from poultry, eggs, butter, bacon and fruit were estimated at 170.000,000 for the year. Considering methods of advancing the interests o' the farmers of Ireland. Lord Brassey ad vocated the opening of. a good waterwa from the Shannon to Belfast; but, even more than this, he thought it desirable tr develop motor transit all over Ireland He pointed out further that although Ire land still remained and probably alwayt would remain essentially, an agrlcultura country, a great change had come about n its industrial development. The grea- brewing Interests of Dublin, the ship building and linen Industries of the nortl and the great extension and Improvemen In the manufacture of Irish lace of re markable beauty indicated the growth o new means of support for the population All the signs, he said, were pointing to a much brighter day for Ireland. Cnrope'a Hue Thirst. A statistician preaents in a Paris paper some Instructive figures on the size o' thirst of various countries, particularly the thirst which must bs smothered with beer or wine. Bavaria holds the reoord for beer, with 340 liters' to each inhabl tant, a liter being 1 pints; Belgium ful ows with 221. Then we get Wurtemberg. 169; Baden, 1S3; England, 1CJ; Prussia. 12&; Saxony, lis; Denmark, 104; Alaace, S; Austria. 80; 6weden, 88; Holland, , France. s2; Hungary, 11; Ruaata, 8; Italy, If we take certain Qerman towns the quantity consumed is astonishing. For Instance, in Munich the beer drunk la 0 liters. Frankfort comes next with 433, and Berlin with HO. France heads the list with wines, 108 liters per annum. Then follow, Italy, 83; Austria. It; Oermany, T, and England, t. Nothing Is aald as to the quantity drunk in Spain, Greece and Portugal and other small states. Ceaaaa of loath Africa. Official figures show that the population of the South African Vnton has Increased by 18.11 per cent since 1904. Europeans have increased by 14.44 per cent, natives by 14.18 per cent, and all other colored races by 8.84 per cent. Th total othei than European population has increase by 15-S1 per cent. Unfortunately, no step can bs taken for ascertaining the exact rate ef the natural Increase In Europeans, for the immigration and emigration stat istics are untrustworthy. It la believed that emigration haa tar exceeded immi gration during th period. In 1904, in th. territories ef tha union, tha whit popu lation numbered A.St per cent of th whole. This position has been practically maintained, for on May T th European population numbered fl 46 per cent o th whole. In other words, th whltt men has barely maintained his poaltlon in South Africa.
