The Theatrical Season. The advent of a new theatrical season is already upon us, and from now on Omaha amusement seekers will have-no dearth of entertainment in the regular playhouses that cater to us. Almost from the day It was a border settlement at the Jump-in- off place, Omaha has had the repu tation of being a good show town, and it has maintained this reputation with the possible exception of a few Short periods. Omaha Is now equipped with as many theaters as a city of Its size can well support, and its lo cation on the direct lines of travel bring the beat, as well as the poor est, shows that, hit the road. But pmaha theatre-goers . have also be come discriminating, and the show that gives full moneys' worth will draw in Omaha if it will anywhere. NINETY-CENT GAS IN DES MOINES Story of the Battle in the Courts and the City's Success. i ; Mr. Bryan's Question Box. Mr. Bryan comes back at the new third-term party, and its candidate, with "a' voljey of questions, which must make a hole in his supply of interrogation marks. Here are a few of them ' ', ; ' ..

"Mr. Perkins is a very rich man," said Teddy' in rep'ly to a 'question. "He declared that he had come to the conclusion that the country was unsafe," and he went on to explain that Mr.. Perkins had said he wanted better corltion brought About and that only T. R. could do it. "I want tham brought about," said Mr.j Perkins. to. Mr. Roosevelt, "so that when my .children grow up this coun try will be & Safe place for them, and! a safe place for my friends' chil dren." V ' '" '-. J '. ' ' And when. Mn Perkins, was thus' saying to Mr, Roosevelt, the New York state factory investigating com mittee was taking the sworn testi mony of;, glfl workers, employed at the Oeborn twine factory, of which concern' Mr.; Perkins is a director. Girls in age' ranging from. 1ft to 19 years, testified that they 'worked ten hours per night, and earned from $7 to 8 per week. The conditions of work were dust, darkness, heat and other factors ' that make for the breaking down of health. Mr. Per kins is lso;a director in the" United States corporation .which maintains a twelve-hour day in its. mills. i His solicitude, for the, children of himself and friends is most natural, but' why should not he show some consideration' for the children who stand on their feet ten hours a night in his twine factory? He has prom ised that. plenty of. money will be provided to aid the battle the bull moose proposes to pull off at Arma geddon, but is his influence so little that he. must first have made Mr. Roosevelt president again before he arges 'his : fellow directors of these big companies to favor better, work ing conditions? :: Less than two years ago the De Molne city council passed an ordinance reduc ing the price of gas from fl.00 per 1,000 eublc feet to 90 cents. Immediately the gas company secured an Injunction from the federal court restraining the- enforce ment of the ordinance on the ground that the proposed rate was not remunerative. Previously the company, by gradual cuts, reduced gas rates from tl.30 tq. tl.00 Per 1,000 cubic feet. In the case just ' de cided, Judge Smith MePherton appointed Judge Robert O. Sloan a special master In chancery to take testimony, pass upon the questions of fact and to recommend the law. ' The master '.Consumed six months in hearing the testimony of ex perts employed -by both sides and t In listening to the arguments of opposing attorneys, and submitted Ws report last April. In tha Intervening months various abjections to the report were beard by udge McPherson and disposed of, ie iultlng In the decision handed down last week. ; Judge McPherson's decision, as an nounced In fh dispatches. Is a victory for the city. The court dismissed tho application of tha gas company for a permanent Injunction and declares the ordinance passed by the council valid. A provision Is inserted In the decree, that If, after a three-year' trial of th 90-ccnt rate, the gas company can. show on better ground that the reduction is confiscatory and does not give reason able remuneration for service, the easa may be reinstated in Judge McPherson's Court and tried again. The immense ex penses of litigation already incurred, however, are likely to prevent its ever coming Into the lower court again. Sixty days from the date of the decree, the temporary Injunction and restraining order will be vacated, according to the decision, but the 90 cents rata will not be come effective until the supreme court has handed down an opinion. The appeal bond of tha company has been fixed at $5,000. It Js probable that the court will require that the 1100,000 bond required of the company as a guarantee of rebates to customers for gas used between tfl-s time the ordinance went Into effect. De cember 27, 1910. and the final decision In the courts be increased to an amount suf ficient to cover rebates that may be come due by the time tha snprem court decision Is announced.' If the supreme court sustains Judg McPherson, rebates of X0 cents per 1009 cubic fast will- hava to be paid by the gas- company t all Its patrons who, can show receipts datad late than- December 2T. 1910, when th city ordinance went into effect. In th meantime the dollar rat will continue to operate unll the final decision has been announced. ' ; - :' " Iowa come In for liberal criticism In the , opinion of Judge McPharsim, Who states that the excessive costs of litiga tion and unusual delay concerned In the present case could hare been avoided if Iowa, like other states, had a law creat ing nonresident city commissioner, to act with recognised absolute authority- In public service controversies over rates, "With all our . boasted advancement," h declares, "Iowa is a laggard In this mat ter and will continue as such until thee rata makings are taken from th power of city councils. Appeal to tha courts will seldom be taken from the findings of such a tribunal." - .High compliment Is paid Judg Sloan for the masterly manner In which be tried the Important case. Judge McPher son said: "It is most gratifying to th court to learn that counsel on both, sides agree that learning, patience, fairness and all the qualification a master In chancery should possess, ar evidenced by nearty one year's; work by Judg Sloan in this oas. Th court deem ft appropriat to make of record th statement that th administration of Justice has been fur thered by th untiring industry of th matter, whose record in thin ca is In keeping; with his long time servio as an Iowa judge.., ' All costs Of th action were taxed against the gas company. HUMORS OF THE CAMPAIGN. Why Be Serious While ' Pittsburgh Dispatch. Sine It I th evidence of everybody and his neighbor, whose opinions are worth having,-that this great period of prosperity will not be affected by th political campaign, everyie who has a sens of humor will feel tho better for looking at humorous phase of that which- Is so vital to candidate of all shades of political color.

Intense daya preceding and during the war, and also th period of recon struction,' have refused to take their 'campaign . seriously as th people of foreign countries do, especially those whom we call our British cousins, Illus trated by Dickens In hi satire of "Pick wick Papers."

Josephu Daniel, Manager McCombs being ill, announces for. th democrats that they ar sure to have the. elector In thirty-eight state. Th bull moo Statistician ha figured to a dot that hi party will carry thirty on states. Singular, indeed, how they all cling to th thirties. ' la it suggestive that com one of them will feel Ilk 90 cents atar th election? This Is a grand total of 103 states! It Is evident there must b a mistake some where and that figures really can He; and this Is one of the early humors of th campaign.. There will be others.

During the relatively dull business of th last two year, and since the failure to secure a general advance In railroad rates, we have heard much of the in ability of th railroad to provide ade quate facilltle fo! an increase of traffic when a revival of activity come9. now such a revival appears to bo in sight. In fact, to have already begun, and we are told that the railroads have somehow raised the necessary funds and are rap Idly receiving additional equipment for what promises to be an uncommonly heavy traffic; at least during the crop- moving season. Many orders must nave been given soma time ago. - The Car builder aro notl only exceptionally busy, but the roads are having large deliveries of completed equipment, : including loco motives a well as car, and are getting to be well prepared for the traffic to come. They appear noi 10 nave lurgui- ten th lesson of th busy time five and six years ago when the lines became con gested and movement was delayed through Insufficiency of rolling Btock. The prospect of large crops haa much to do with the present activity in pro viding for Increased traffic, but the need stems to have been anticipated by the large order which have been already filled and are how being filled. Good crops and a large movement of agricul tural product mean prosperity for tha farmers and this mean a' buying ' ca pacity for manufactured article. - That helps materially to stimulate th pro duction and distribution of such article, which In turn mean traffic for railroad in various direction It also mean more employment for capital and labor In a variety of Industries besides those of manufacturing and transportation, and accelerated activity, in trad and all th processes of exchange. In short, un less all signs fail. It signifies a gradual rpread of renewed prosperity, which I quite cheering alter long waiting, though we have not had real, depression since 190$. Since something of a false start a year after that we have simply, been working rather slowly and laboriously on the road to recovery. The period of con valescence seems now to be about over. SPEAKING ABOl'T CHECKS. Archbold's,' Perkins', McCormlck'a . "'.'. and Otbrs. .-' Washington Herald. , Senator Penrose's assertion that Arch bold's check for 325,000 waa used In th campaign of 1904 to aid In th election ef Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency bears all the outward signs of probability. In those days Mr. Roosevelt did not hesitate to ask for and accept any money from any source so long as It assisted in the righteous cause of his election. It Is a matter of record that he sought Mr. Harrlman'a contribution and that $269,000 was thrown into his Jackpot at a crucial moment when funds wer low. But speaking of check, how many ha Mr. Perking signed sine th steel trust began It noble effort to elect Mr. Roose velt to a third term? And how much money did Medill McCormlck dispense St Chicago? And Who I aupplylng th funds which Will enable Mr. Roosevelt to tour from Maine to California and from the lakes to the gulf?
