Now that the validity and consti
tutionality of the federal law defin
ing employers' liability for Interstate
carriers has been npheld by the Stt'
preme court, the early enactment of
similar legislation covering the corre-
amndtnr Held wholly within the
states ia being confidently predicted.
But thia is only another case la
which, so far aa Nebraska ia con
cerned, this state already occupies
advanced ground, aad can point back
again to the epoch-making legislative
session of 107 aa having put our
commonwealth In the vanguard of
the procession. For It should be
known, 'and emphasized and reiter
ated, that Nebraska five years ago
emancipated the employee of ita com
mon carriers from tbs incubus of the
common Isw fellow-servant doctrine,
and abolished the defense of con
tributory negligence except aa an off
set and mitigation, of damages. Ne
braska at the sanie time removed the
ti.OOO limit of recovery for death.
which had lopg been operative aa a
statutory enactment, thua - laying
down the same prlaclple of employ
ers' liability now recognised by the
supreme court
Nebraska may also tske credit to
Itself that It haa at least broken
ground in the direction of a practical
automatic scheme of compensating
workmen for injuries suffered by In
dustrial accidents V creating a com
mission to Investigate the subject,
report a measure to the next legisla
ture'. True, several others have an
ticipated us by actually writing
workmen's compensation' acts on
their statute books, which are serv
ing as experiments and object les
sons, of which all may take advan
tage. With these guide poets and
the accumulating court decisions the
pathway is being cleared, so that in
this field, too, Nebraska may con-
Udently. expect to be listed high an
the honor roll. ;
Is thi lawyer a Paruitst
In the high coat of living discus
sion the suggestion thai the middle
man Is a uselesa and expensive link
between producer and consumer that
ought to be cut out haa Instigated a
search for other dispensable factors.
If the middleman Is surplusage,
what about the lawyer! That ex
cessive Indulgence In litigation in
this country is a drain upon tha
economic resources waa emphasised
not long ago In aa address by Prof.
T. N. Carver of Harvard before the
American economic association. "It
Is certainly aa great a waste of hu
man energy," he said, "to have a
man taken out of productive indus
try and have him devote his time to
fighting Individual quarreli aa It-is
to have another man takea out of
productive Industry and devote his
time to fighting national quarrels."
If lawyers could be made useful In
any other line of work, the diversion
of their talents to a parasitical pro
fession must be an eeonomio loss te
society, flurvsytng the field right

yers, specially educated and trained.
putting in their time advising clients
how to get Into, or seep out of, ths
courts. Besides ths little Justices of
the peace, police magistrates ana
probate Judges, we have seven courts
going all the time, only one of which
Is devoted to 'criminal trlala, ' and
what goes Into the pockets of the
lawyers and Judges is but small
part' of the whole eoet.
Of courae, the lawyers ' will tell
us that no service Is of greater value
to "the community thaa, that which
protects Individual rights and secures
Justlee between man and man. Boms
of them will declare that the wheels
of Industry could not revolve with
out lawyers to keep them straight,
yet that does not controvert the fact
that the service performed by the
lawyer does not add directly to the
social wealth. If the lawyers could
be kept busy at something without
litigation, the cos.t of living might be
greatly reduced with aalutary bene
fits to the rest of mankind. . v

Overcrowded StrteW.
The largest American cities are
seriously perplexed with the problem
of crowded streets. In New York
and Chicago it la most aoute. Chicago
has reached the point where the only
relief for IU "loop" district seems to
lie In subways for street care. The
elevated became necessary yea re ago
and the maxe of Ita atructure only
complicates tne situation.
Here is one of the Important pha
of tha whole subject of modern city
making. Traffic Is sure to pick out
the most direct route every time. If
It could be Induced to take np aide
streets the congestion might be
lleved. but that ia out of the question.
More of these "most direct" routes
have to be supplied in one way or an
other. That ia being undertaken in
some cities. Thsy are planning to
divert traffic by cutting new diagonal
thoroughfaree that wlU afford relief
from congestion and at the aame time
not turn travel away from the main
arteries of business.
Most growing cltiea point with
undue pride to "crowded streets"
a sure alga of business nctivlty, but if
some of our largest cities could look
out upon leas crowded streets they
would feel much esaiee thaa they do.
Ia Kansas City aad other places the
task of widening streets has already
been takea up. That la one thing
Omaha probably will never have to
face, no matter what growth it might
attain. That was foreseen when our
streets were laid out. Only n few
cities have as broad thoroughfares
aad many that nave not and once
laughed at ours, would give most
anything now if their engineers had
had Just this kind of foresight
It is harmful to property values to
congest trade and truffle too densely
and the beat aystem looks to ths dis
tribution of both for this as well as
other reasons. Tbe city can afford to
put up with the' appearance of un-
erbwded streets to; attain the adven
ts xea offered In auch a avatam.

rroaucuon ana uw oi laving.
Jamee J. Hill was one of the first
to srgue a larger production as es
sential before any solution of our
pressing economic problems could be
reached. His view la steadily gain
ing favor. After arguing through and
through this subject of the high cost
of- living for the cnuses and cure.
logic brings us back to the basic
proposition of a larger volume of
production. The natural laws of sup
ply snd demsad are Impeded, we say.
but they will regain their equilibrium
easier when the soil la made to pro
duce more aad when the people make
the most out of what tbe soil pro
duces. '
Waste, In One form and another, is
a big factor ia this problem. Soil la
wasted when It Is left to lie Idle, and
soil products are wasted when they
are not used to the very best ad
vantage. All these things we have to
learn. Some are learning them at
dear coat, but perhaps the lessons
will pay for all the cost. No people
need think tbst they can turn their
backs upon sol) aa prolific of wealth
as ours Is and flock to the city with
out paying the penalty which neglect
and waste entail. .
Wages should be higher, so we are
told, to ensble tbe wage-earner to
cope with the high prices. But that
Is only Incidental to tha main point.
that raising wsges alons would not
come anywhere near solving tbe prob
lem of the high cost of living. Too,
much gold is produced, say others.
although production always haa been
recognised aa a factor In determining
prices. Experts long ago agreed that
the world's supply of gold waa al
most lnexhsustlble, which being the
case Is due notice of a continued flow
of gold from the mine. When more
Americana become producers on the
farm and when farming Is made more
of a science, thus enlarging tbe out
put, we are sure to find It easier to
get bold of this distressing situation.
Of course, the lamentable fact Is that
natural conditions Invite sordid
speculation, which complicates the
problem, but at the bottom of It un
doubtedly Ilea this stubborn fact that
Mr. Hill earnestly pointed out '
lift'i Copwhetl
Society moves collectively, not In
dividually. No man lives entirely
unto or by himself. Msny boast they
are Independent of their associates
and could get along ns well without
a with tbem, but thsy are wrong.
Their motive power la not stored en
tirely within themselves; It comes
from contact with those about them.
It la like the sogwheel that drives
ths machinery. One wheel working
alone would turn round, 'but It would
turn no machinery with It. Only
when It la thrown Into gear so that
when It turns round Its tenons fsll
Into the trundles of tbe other wheel
will It transmit the power to drive
the machinery.
The will of one man acting upon
the will of another transmits and
transmutes power, though neither
may ever realise It However original
or Independent one may consider
himself, he is neither. Much thst
he calls his owa thought or deed baa
been borrowed or copied from an
other, though perhapa unconsciously
on his part On the other band, no
man la totally without. Influence.
Even a recluse haa his little sphere
of action and hla example. He Is, at
least, seen of others. He Is oa tooth
in one of those cogwheels that pro
duce the ceaseless revolutions of
life's great drivers.
The concern of every respectable
individual should be how best to im
prove and use his Influence. The con
sciousness of being dnlly and hourly
under the scrutiny of his fellow men,
Involuntarily subject to his Influence,
should whet every man to a keen
tax let y to do hla beet end be his best
at all times. One bent, or crooked
cog In a wheel may throw the whole
saechantra! structure out of action.
It la because of the Impossibility of
keeping all the eon 'n perfect order

insofar as they, would create, "in. or
out of the Department of Commerce,
a business court or controlling com
mission', composed largely of experi
enced business mea," with power to
control large corporations. To
strengthen the argument he urges a
criminal clause In tbe law to put In
dividuals in Jail when the law !s vio
lated. " It probably would be easier to en
force Mr. Perkins' criminal clause
thaa It has been with tbe clause
in the Sherman law, chiefly -for
the reason that public sentiment
has now reached the point of de
manding more than a pretense of
obedience by trust magnates. Even
the Sherman law would have had a
much better enforcement if public
sentiment had been sooner aroused.
TJie Teachers Coming Back.
The - decision of the - Nebraska
Teachers' association ; to come back
to Omaha again this year with its
state convention la more than grat
ifying for several reasons. '.
In the first place, the choice is
msde by a referendum vote of the
members themselves. . indicating a
preference for Omaha aa against Lin
coln by three to two, with no possi
bility of charges of trading i or
manipulation by any set of officers
or executive committee. The teachers
are coming back to Omaha because
they want to come back- aa much as
Omaha wants them to come.
But still further, the fact that the
teachers want to meet In Omaha
twice In succession, and to play a re
turn engagement tha year after their
laat meeting, . la the best proof of
appreciation of Omaha's facilities for
entertaining auch a gathering, and
of Omaha'a hospitality to those in
attendance. If Omaha did not haveJ
suitable convention hella, hotels and
amusement places, for a meeting
participated In by several thousand
educntors and school teachers, It
would be out of the running. . If
Omaha did not make Ita convention
visitors feel nt home last time,' and
offer them the right kind of hospital
ity, carrying the-true spirit of the
host, the Invitation to come again
would not be so promptly accepted.'
So Omaha has a right to rejoice
that the teachers are coming back.
A Sign ot Public Sentiment "
When men like George W. Perkins
get to advocating prtaoa penalties as
the cure of anti-trust law violations
it Is time to admit that real progress
is being msde. What would have
been thought of a George W. Perkins
who weald have propoeed such a
remedy tea years agoT The Sherman
law, enacted more thaa twenty years
ago, to be euro, earned a criminal
clause, but members of predatory
coocema until recently refused to
take It seriously.
Mr. Perkins la not advocating the
Sherman act, but rather a new
scheme which he aad his associates
believe to be more to their liking.
The princsle. however, ia tin.
A writer In one' of tbe current up
lift magazines r lists the Nebraska
penitentiary among other state pris
ons that teach convict trades which
they cannot pursue after they get out
even if they want to. But this Is de
nied by yie prison contractor, who
says that 80 per seat ot the convicts
refuse to work nt their trade, after
they do get out... Perhaps tbe point
Is not so Important aa It Telatea tot
convicts, but It would be Interesting
to know how many. It any, of the
boys and girls In our reformatories
and schools for ths deaf and blind
make any useful application of what
they ara supposed to be taught thsre.
Up In Wisconsin the La Follette
men have already promulgated, a
slats for delegates-at-large to tbe
Chicago - convention. Just to help
the people avoid making mistakes
when they come to choose their rep
resentatives by direct primary vote
without the aid, consent or dictation
ot nny political boss or machine on
earth.
'. A recently published book on
polar' exploration exploits ths low
death rate In Arctic climes, and pre
dicts the establishment of sanitar
iums at "our northermost points
guaranteeing Immunity from rheu
matism, colds and bacterial diseases.
Fine, but why go farther north?
It turns out that In listing his dis
trict delegate Colonel Teiser has
gotten the boundary line mixed be
tween the Third aad Fourth congres
sional districts. But a little thing
like that is entirely Inconsequential.
Mr. Bryan cannot Imagine circum
stances by which he might become
candidate for tbs presidency and ret
neither can he imagine anything on
the other aide.
