Hunting bandits with rifles In the Jungles of Chicago scorns to have be come the favorite pastime of, that city's detectives. Paradoxical as it may seem, sev eral 10-year-pld girls of Denver, where Judgo Bon Lindsay holds forth, turned robbers. It Is courteous for men to give women their seats In street cars anil' for women to "move up front, please," when tboy imiBt stand. Our ner county board Idst no time in organising. Wonder if it will bo equally expeditious in transacting oilier public business. Mr. Wilson's appeal uttered at Chicago to men of affairs, evidently had no reference to thoso obstreper ous democratic legislators In Illinois. It may be noted in passing that the exchange In directors between ihe Union artd Southern Taciflc was foro ahadowed in The Bee more than ten riaya ago. A bill has been Introduced In con greta to grant medals to all surviv ing' heroes of Gettysburg. Those who died on that battlefield needed no medals to attest to their heroUm. Oh, a. boy Is a boy and a boy let him be, for the season of boyhood's a span and tho heart that now leaps in its joy, and Its glee soon will ache with the cares ot a mau aud that's no fabrication.

World-IIerald. That reminds us hat city owner ship was to take the water plant "out of politics' when, as a matter of fact, Its management was never more In politics at this very mo ment. The death of W. N. Huse. editor of the Norfolk News, takes from the ranks of Nebraska Journalism one ot Its best known and successful members. By Intelligent and cner gotlc effort. Mr. Huso brought bis paper to the head of .the class out side of the metropolitan cities, and la his section of the state- he wielded a potent influence for public good Personally likeable and dependable, he enjoyed a large circle of friends wno win mourn mi iosb. The Arohbald Impeachment. TIio verdict of guilty In the case of Judge Archbald seemed Inevitable trtm th evl(,oncC, which was BS overwhelming against him as the vote of the senators hr which hn wan impeached. Ho may honestly be- Hove, as he nays, that ho wits Inno cent of wrong-doing, for he seems to be a perfect typo of flexible ethics that sees no dividing line between Judicial proprieties and improprie ties. The RJimn power that doomed this Judge is tho one that has driven faltblctm men out of other; high of fices, the power of an aroused and quickened public conscience. No mat ter whnt Judge Archbald may think, what he did as revealed in the evi dence, could never bo made compati ble with the real function of a judge. Here we have an Impressive dem onstration of the efficacy of estab lished legal processes which ought to strengthen faith in the wisdom of the constitution, as contrasted with new and untried devices. The Im peachment of a Judge not only con demns and removes him from office,1 hut prevents him from over again; holding .i federal position. Under a popular recall, ho would doubtlesH net about nt once to neok n vindica tion and he might persuade many lieoplo lo believe him the victim merely of projudico or conspiracy. Happily thtj verdict permits of no ap peal nnd we may all hope will draw the curtain on the Case.' ' Quite Naturally. It is quite natural that even be fore the drafted bill Is accessible for Inspection, our amiable democratic Contemporary, the N World-Horald, Hhottld Jump to the . forefront lo champion the proposed water district law. The' plain purpose of the sponsors of tho bill Is to perpetuate In power tho present management of Ihe water plantP and make It the center of an huge political machlno with which -to overawe and dominate all 6ther branches of municipal government. In .view of the political partner ship that has been maintained be tweon our democratic 'Uriftba States senator and tho republican. .Water board boss for mutual. perquisites and advancement, it is not surprising that the souator's newspaper 'should go back on all its high-sounding pro fessions of deep devotion to home rule in order to push .the pet scheme of Its bi-partisan ally. Tho proposed water district law which tho World-Horald champions should havq Us title redrawn to read: "A bill for an act to nullify the amendment to the constitution of Ne braska granting homo rule to1 cities. and Incidentally, to guarantee R. D Howoll a life job at a salary of .not lesB than $5,000." Progress of the Dissolution. The exchange of resignations of Union and Southern Pacific directors as tho Initial step In complying with the court's morgor order is precisely lu line with the forecast ot action secured from official sourcoa nnd published by The Bee some time ago. It will tako time to cofnplote prelimi nary planB and stockholders inter ested In the old Central Pacific link will, of course, seek' to drive tho best bargain they can for their holdings. In tho end, howovcr, tho Union Pa cific should and doubtless will acquire that lino from Ogdon to San Francisco and thus complete the highway undr Its control from Omaha continuously to the Golden Uatc. While tho possibility of mis carrying romalnB, the success of the plan is mcroly a matter of arranging a mutually satisfactory basis of ex change. The situation Is oncourag Ing'to tho hope of early settlement upon a line ot action acceptable to both government and the parties In ownership of all the roads Involved. In Pious, Progressive Chicago. Chicago footVads, being an Irrever ent lot of scamps, have been molest ing young women returning from qhurcu on Sabbath evenings. Sev eral churches In defenBo havo se lected squads of their1 most brawny young men as escorts for the fair worshipers. .......... In ye olden times the Pilgrims carried their guns to and from church to ward oft hoBtile Indians. Chicago Is a progressive city, and do Tout. It will, like the fathers ot old, have ts worship If It must tight for It. What an Improvement this, over the primitive method. But who would have thought ot it roqulring a crisis to press the boys into such a service? ' Yet It is doubtful if ever a Godly Pilgrim ploddod his' perilous path with more pious zeal than tires the souls of theso sturdy heroes, armed, It doubtless will develop in many cases, with Dan Cupid's bow -and quiver. President Taft has named Colonel George P. Scrlven to be brigadier general to succeod General Jamos Allen, the present chief of the signal corps, about to retire. As the seat of one of the signal corps stations and training schools, Omaha is par ticularly Interested in this branch of the military service, and In having it continue under enorgotlc go-ahead direction. Tested by his record as ranking colonel in the corps, and previous wide experience, Colonel Scrlven's fitness for the position has brought tho president to decide in his favor among numerous worthy competitors. ookinBackwca-tll I laVZJ vumt-uucu rHWVI DKC 5 laySL' J JAN. in.

Tho sum Is stupendous when compared with that In any European country, but not abnormal In our own. The largest contribution comes from J. Plerpont Morgan Instead ot from Carnegie or Rockefeller, aa for many years past, and Is made tip almost wholly of art treasures presented to the Metro politan museum. This probably means that when tho Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation havo been completely en dowed we shall have no more such huge donations from single Individuals. The determination ot tho peoplo to prevent any further accumulations ot such wealth through monopoly and privilege virtually assures tho end of that regime. The passing of Mr. Morgan to the head of the list may mean the beginning ot a new era in our phtlanthropleai There will be no regret over tho change. This country needs many things much more titan It needs or ever needed the philanthropy ot millions. It will be better when wo da somt things for ourselves Instead of wotting for such splendid alms.

I get on the street enr every morning at Fortieth and Ctimlng-on tho Farnam linn Monday I boarded car No. 81C nt a llttlo nftcr S:15. It and another car had arrived a few seconds apart. A crown of people stood on the comer to greet them. Tho first car whisked back to town without taking a stnglo passenger and, though ntoplc could be seen waiting at nearly every Intersection along the way, it hardly paused until It got way cast on Farnam. Our car had every seat and the aisle filled before It ever bulged from Fortieth and Cuming and, upon my honor, 1 think It took on a passenger or more at overy corner, but four or five, nil the way to Nineteenth, with the result that people were simply packed llko sardines In that car, or It might be proper to say, on It Now, Tho Bee has dono a great service both to the street car company and Its patrons in agitating Improvements, but can Tho Bee tell mo why such aggrava ting service na this In continued? It was not a matter of more cars in this case, so much as common sense In tho opera tion of the cars available. 1 sometimes think tho company most needs a compe tent schddulo mnn.

Cal., Jan. 9.-TO tho Editor of The Bee; There has been sent broadcast In late years a lot ot printed matter from California In regard to Its great resources, Its' climate, Its fine crops of grain, fruits and -nuts. In fact, thero has been thousands of dollars spent by unscrupulous advertisers who deal In real estate to Induce unsuspecting eastern peoplo to come here and buy lind. gome of tho land Is tolerably good, while eomo of It la worthless. An eastern man can come to California and buy good 310 land for JIM per acre, and he can also buy good JCO land for 1,200 per crc It he Is smart, but It green at 159 more. I have no spite at the country, nor at the peoplo: both aro good In fact, too good (for any use, ex cept to catch eastern suckers, and they are extraordinarily good at that trade Judging by the number of bites they get, and tho amount ot game they bag. I havo been raised' In California, and I do not think ttiere Is a more difficult state In tho United States to make a start in at the present time. Time waa when thlB state could not bo beaten, but that was when It was a stock country and Its great mines sent gold to all parta Of the world. Now the mines are nearly worked out. stock raising has diminished to a great extent, the land does not yield tho crops It did once, and the cli mate, while not cold like tho eastern states, has changed so we have frost to kill fruit crops. A good yield comes once every four or five years. Tho wind Is blowing today and the thermometer registers It degrees above xoro, but tho land sharks do not tell you about these things. Kindly tell the peoplo from Nebraska, or any other place, to look before they leap. JOHN TRUTEN. CNSCItA.ilBIilXtf THE EGGS Plan of Separating thr Union and Southern Pacific Railroad.

A transfer ot control or the Central Pa cific to the Union Pacific and the sur render by tho latter of its' control ot tho Southern Pacific theso aro the matn features ot a plan said to be under con sideration by. Attorney General Wlcker sham and counsel for the interested rail road systems. The plan would probably satisfy the requirements of the Judgment ot dissolution recently, pronounced by tho supremo court. The connection of the Union and Central Pacific with each other In a continuous line from Omaha to San Francisco waa contemplated by congress when It created these transcontinental railway corporations; tho supreme court tn Its opinion intimated that such a com bination would not b lit disharmony with the anti-trust laws; finally, the plan would b a fulfillment of the purposes of Harrtman himself. He acquired control of the Southern Pacific mainly because It had control of the Central-Paclflo and In order to Join the latter to his truncated Union Pacific lines. The proposed settle ment would have the merits of reason ableness and convenience as well as the merit ot legality, THESE GIRLS OF OUR.
