Tho supplemental report op the steel industry by tho acting commls sloner of corporations among other things points but tho variations In production cost at dfffofent plants, and In different localities, for tho manufacture of steel products. It Is shown that thcro Is It decided ad4 vantage In the cost of assembling materials tot the 'plants located on tho shores of Lnlto Erlo a6 compared with thoBo located In tho Pittsburgh district; likowiso in the net costs of Bessemer pig Iron, the figures rang lng from $9.20 to $1 3.40 por ton, a variation of nearly 60 percent. This means so long as no outside concorn can bring Its cost down below tho high range of tho Steel corporation, tho latter can continne to operato at a good averages profit after tho price has gone down to tho no-proflt point for Hb competitors. On the othor hand, if the independent production is curtailed becauso noncompensa tory, the Stoel corporation will have the market all lis own way. In othor "words, protection against cheap labor competition Is moret Important to the little fellow than to tho big fellow. Wanted An International Game. Attendance on a base ball game of ho visiting delegates sent to ar range preliminaries for the celebra tion of tho ono hundred years of peace anniversary, and their expres sions or approving admiration, sug gest that perhaps we havo hero an other agency for driving tho demon of war from tho face of tho earth, and assuring etornal amity between nations. Why equip armies, and float navies, or oven maintain a Haguo tribunal, whon each country need only organlzo a baso ball-nlne and try it out on the diamond, where tho best players - with the most rtghtoous cause .would bo Sura to win? Of course, there would have to bo an umplro, or perhaps a eauad of umpires; on a close decision it mlghl do nocossary t i have a fow soldiers and battleships within call -to pro tect ure and restore order.- Under ordinary circumstances,' thowove'r, ten-inning contests would be rate, and a shutout would hardly warrant a demand for a roturn match. When wo succoed in making our national garao an international game, world peqco wtyl hae Bcored. Uncle Joe's little Eeniihaor. Uncle Joo" Cannon takes occa sion to recall that In 1008, whon h6 and his friends wero trvlnir to in. ducd tho republican national conven tion to change tho rules and adobt a new ratio of rcprouontation accord uk io pany, voting strength, many of those now- clamoring for suh a rulo opposed it and holpod the south m delegates save their excessive representation. "Uncle Joe" further ventures tho' opinion that lflhe" pro. posal for tho reapportionment had prov.nllod In',10Q8 It would have fore stalled all tho trouble of 1913. If tho former opponents of a now deal In convention representation havo now oomo around to it, it ought to bo unanimous. NoiMore Oreeon Plan Statements. fjiroci oiection or United States sonatora by ponular voto is now part or tho federal constitution by virtue or the formal ratification of the necessary, two-thirds , of Ttho states, us otnciai nromuleatlon hnin merely a matter of form. Tho Beo has already commented upon thu consummation of this long- rougtyt contest to; popularize the up per branch ' of out national law making body, and nt; the same time to re"ittovo tho olectldn of a senator as a disturbing factor in our state legislatures, It is interesting to noto another effect of the adoption of this amend ment. It may bo taken for granted that it.ipso facto repeals all the state laws and federal laws, too, for that matter proscribing different moth- ods of election. In Nebraska, for example, we have on our statute books the so-called Oregon plan by t hlch candidates for the legislature aro labeled In tho primary according to certain declarations made, known ns "Statement No. 1" or "Statomont No. 2," "with reference to their in tention to vote for tho popular pref erence choice for senator, which, wi take it, without any legislative ap peal, falls now into abeyance. Here after a United States senator will bo nominated and elected the same as a governor, and all Oregon plan laws .will bo mere dead lotters. The defeated at Lincoln complain of the large number of stay-at-homes in their recent election which, by the way, was a regular election and not a special election and talk about making voting compulsory. But there is no sign that the stay-at-homes would have voted any differently than those who came out. . It has been our experience here, in Omaha that the man who refuses to Interest himself In an election enough to vote, prefers to let the other fellow run things, re serving for himself the inborn and in alienable privilege of being a chronic kicker, There are 535 moving picture shows In' Nebraska, which, according to the labor commissioner, entertain on an .average, 325,000 people every day,- Ons that computation If the patrons were all different people for six days they jrould include every man, womanaHdl,child 'in Nebraska which would be going some.
