The Rnsso-Persian Mixnp. Persia. Runslu, KngSsnd and the t'nited States Rre In one way and another involved In the RusHO-Per-lan dispute now lending vivacity to the general turmoil of nations. Whether this -Is a case of the sur vival of the fittest between the crar and the 6hsh or not, the United States can afford to proceed slowly tewsrd yielding to any appeal for in tervention from the Teheran govern ment. We have a little matter of some seventy years' standing of our own to settlo with Rtisala, and our people have about made up their minds to settle it, at last. The great American nation has finally been hhamed into resenting Russia's per sistent audacity In denying treaty rights to certain of our citizens and we ought to get this off hand before talkng up another nation's quarrel with the czar. Tho exruHo Persia has for looking to us for help rests on the slender fact that an American citizen, W. Morgan Khuster, ns prime minister of the shah's finances, is In the thick of tho fight with Russia; in fact, Is the center of It. Mr. Shuster seems to have rehabilitated Persia's fi nances so well as to arouse remark able nn.vlety in Russia and norc than ordinary concern In Knjlnnd. RuhsIb Is so grieved over whirl. It apparently knows not, but over coniething, that It hns decided to pounce down on Persia with arniort troops utiles the shah comes to time with certain repa ration for theso "Impositions." Tho shah, on tho other hand, seems to, think that if any reparations are to bo pu&st'd out he Is the one to re ceive, not give, them. Evidently Russia has determined that now would be a good time to partition Persia and England seems to think that if any partitioning is to be done, she might as well get in on tho ground floor, for we sen that a few lines of British Indian. soldiery have been moved up toward Teheran. In the meantime, Mr. Shustcr may have to leave Persia, but ho went there of his own accord and ho prob ably can leavo without discommoding his country by dragging it into the nilxup. Russia for a long time has regarded Persia as its "sphere of In fluence," and It resented Rhustera going there with such large 'powers in the first place, so it was to bay been expected that the Intrigue of Russian diplomacy would figure out a way of making trouble in time. Idle Cars ai a Business Gauge. - The number of idle freight cars la usually taken as one gauge to bus! ness. If It is a safe gauge, the status of business is far from discouraging. Whllo the number of idle cars in the United States and Canada is slightly more now than It was two weeks ago, it Is not what is considered large. Two pr three weeks ago the number was 20,532 and now It Is about 27,000, that is, net. The gross fig ures are 39,306 and 45,290. The difference is not especially in dicative of a falling off lu business, for the number of cars at this sea son of thq year Invariably Increases, when, of courso, from natural causes, even in tne best or years, traffic diminishes. But when the effect of several railroad strikes Is takeu Into consideration, together with certain other unseasonable factors, the show ing Is exceptionally good. This Is tho first increase in Idle care, according to the Wall Btreet Journal, that has been noted stneo July; another sure evidence of a well-sustained traffic demand. What Is apparent from every thermometer of business is the fact that we are going Into the winter much better off than might have been expected some months back. Many lines of trade and commerce that sagged seriously a few months ago, are tightening with promise of taking up sttlt more of the slack as the cold weather progresses. We are sure to come to the first of the year in very healthful form. Fall trading has been good, de rounds In nearly all lines increasing, crops turn out better than forecasted and Industry as a whole enjoys a measure of peaceful prosperity that helps to lend cheer to the entire situ ation. The Contract Doctors. Our local medical, association Is wrestling with the question of con tract doctors, and has gone duly on record, through a. committee dele gated to formulate an official expres sion, against the pernicious practice- According to this pronouncement, it is not only unprofessional to render medical service under contract at wholesale rates, but It Is also bad for tho patieut, and bad for the doctors, particularly for the doctors who are thus prevented from render log the service at retail rates. We sympathize thoroughly with the objection, to contract doctoring If there were enough contracts to go around, so that every doctor could have bis, It might not be so repre hensible, but when the doctors are many and the contracts few the young and Inexperieuced doctor, Just out of college with a practice to build up, is pretty sure to be the low bidder. Any system that keep these fledilii.ga busy while older men, with large reputations, hsve to sit In their offices waiting for patients, Is irre- presslbly vicious. A a mutter of fact, the doctor who takes a contract to give medical attention to all members of a society or lc1; or fruloiffl c! a rrrrr'iejnasiun to rout or Industrial establishment goes into it ss a sort of advertisement, ex pecting thereby to get other more remunerative business, and if adver tising in a newspaper Is unprofes sional, so ought this kind of adver tising to be. So we Join in the cry of "Down with the contract doctor." We think he ought to be expelled from every reputable medical society. Perhaps the law could be amended to make such contracts void as against public policy, and certainly the Hlppocratlc oath can be revised so as to bind each new medical grad uating class against participating In this unpardonable business. For, strangely enough, thero can be no contract doctoring without a doctor willing and eager to undertake the contract. The Kansas Tarrinj Party. Out in Shady Bend, Lincoln county. Kansas, the word, "tar," grates on the ears of the delicately refined populace and when a certain court proceeding Is completed it probably will not be safe for anyone to let t,hat little word slip through his lips. And from now on a threat will carry weight In Shady Ilend. Tar fulls Into disrepute there from the startling fact that n company of prominent and chivalrous men got together, lured a lone girl out into a country road on a dark night and smeared lior body with tar. These prominent, chlvalroun men arc now on trial, several of them having con fessed they woro so chivalrous. Thus fur tho Only crime apparently alleged against the young woman Is that she was more popular In the community than some other women there and this got on the nerves of some of the better element at least those who regarded themselves the better element of women and they mouthed her name in such connec tions as to arouse tho righteous In dignation of their splendid husbands and brothers with the result that they, combining their prowess in the darkness of night, went forth to avengo their wives' and daughters' popularity. Nothing that has occurred in this country In a long while quite matches up to this Kansas depredation for devilish cowardice and as Kansas Is the place where Justice always tri umphs, It is to be hoped the law gov erning this case will do its duty. The way valuable paintings are dis appearing from noted art collections Is admonition to take another Inven tory of the art gems In the municipal gallery In our public' library build ing. If It should turn out that one of them had been stolen, it would be good advertising. Local business men are again com plaining about fake charity solicitors. With the opportunity with which they have to secure Information promptly the business roan who gets caught this way. has only himself to blame, Puzzle: If the furniture and fix tures alone for 'the new court house fluaJly cost $100,000, how much will the total outlay for equipment and interior finishing exceed the $200,000 bond issuo voted for that purpose? The Jacksonlan club is to shoulder the work of organizing Nebraska for Woodrow Wilson. Here's hoping better luck for them than when they called themselves the Sun-ens league and boosted for Judge Purker. It seems that what pains the Man- chus Is the fact, not that the em peror'a mother eloped, but that she eloped with an actor. Yet in tho United States actors are among our most popular elopers. Votes for women, we are assured, will solve many problems. Still, mere man has made some progress without the votes of women. t'OHSlderliisr the I'rMalua. Cleveland Plain lealer.

OMAHA, Nov. 20,-To the Editor of The Bee: With resard to the recent conven tion of the Midwest Implement Dealers I wish to say that this Is an organiza tion that Omaha can well afford to en courage. These Implement dealers from VK to 1,000 of them come to Omaha each year without asking any help from the Commercial club except the furnishing of a few hundred badges, while many other conventions must have several thousand dollars from the Commercial club In order to meet their expenses. By the splendid help of the Omaha vehiclo dealers and tha use of tha Auditorium for their convention and exhibit tho Mid west Implement De.tlers have been enabled to meet all their expenses and have a good time and an Interesting convention, and I have made a contract with them for another year. I am very glad to say that the spirit of antagnnlKm which existed a few years aito between some of the local Jobbing housfa and the outside exhibitors Is rap Idly passing away. 1 believe that by next year this can be made one of the big gatherings of the year. I have had a great deul of discouragement In years past In trying to build up this convention, but with tha spirit of co-operation that now exists among the local Jobbers we will soon be able to build this organi sation up to a membership of 2,000 In stead of 1,000. Kansas City has an im plement convention every year that brings In 3,000 business mi from the surrounding territory. De Moines has a convention that brings In about 2,000. Tl.ere is no good reason why Omaha should not do as well and 1 believe we are now on the right track. - There Is one very important feature of this gathering that I wish 'particularly to mention. That, la the opportunity pre sented for Omaha to tecure new, Indus tries and new- Jobbing houses by en couraging these exhibitors to Jocate in Omaha. I have-In-mind one of the ex-t hibitors of this year who needs a better location for his factory and this would be a new line for Omaha and a good one, and not In competition with houses already established here. Omaha . Is In need of many things In order to build It up Into a great city and one of tbesd Is the establishment of more fautorlei. Not necessarily lttrgo factories, but plenty of small Industries,' making Omaha not only a market town, but a manufacturing town as well. j J. M. UILLAX, : M.inager Omaha Auditorium.

E00SEVZXT AND STEEL TSUST New York Wor'.d: The great mistake Mr. Roosevelt made, evidently was In not putting his eminent legHl adviser and secretary of the Interior, "Jimmy" Car- ileld, on the supreme court" bench. Pt. Paul Dispatch: The ex-presldent's article makes a large number of aseir-' lions, many of them purely dogmatic, concerning the Impossibility of making the anlt-trust net restore competition. To all that, it Is sufficient reply that It Is impossible, until the courts .are suffi ciently in earnest about It, to enforce li in its full letter and spirit. Hprlngfleld (Mass.) Republican: The thing that n'ow detracts chlofly from Mr. Roosevelt's dlscurslon of the trust ques tion Is the Inevitable personal bias he has on account of his relations, as president, with the Cnlted States Steel corporation. A heavy stock ownership In a trust ceuld not affect him an dors his action In sanc tioning tho absorption of the Tennessuu Coal and Iron company. At that point he Is on the defensive In history, and he Is sj Jealous of his official record that he cannot escape being affected hy per sonal considerations when he discusses the present situation. He seems, how ever, to be unconscious of personal bias and no one need question his sincerity In this matter. Tho suggestion that he Is now using the trust ngltatlon for self ish political purposes is undoubtedly rub bish. I oheard-Of Restraint I China. Springfield Republican.
