Varying Production Costs.
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

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

OMAHA, May 14. To the Editor of The
Bee: This question of whether Billy
Sunday Is preaching Just for the money
or not, cannot possibly bo determined
until tho last Judgment, so it Is useless
for us to weigh probabilities. The deeper
question Into which the whole thing
merges Is: Does Billy 8unday get re
sults that are worth all they cost the
people7 This Is the first thing to be de
termined, and. I would say that If a
number of men who are now drunkards,
libertines or dope fiends can be per
suaded by Rev, Sunday to forsake their
evil ways and "come back," take up a
new 'lino of conduct and bo men In the
world, why, then, J. say tho money ques
tion Is insignificant
To prove Billy Sunday a grafter, .If it
could be so proven, would not detract
irom nis power, ana nis aDiuty to get
results, and where the results are plain
and the. motives cannot , bo fully . de
termined, we are bound to give the actor
the benefit of the doubt No man that
ever, lived could prove, himself a sincere
Christian If he-, were, forced-to sit and
split hairs with every one who saw fit
to deny his sincerity, A . man may act
like a Christian, pray like a Christian
and know himself to be a Christian; but
he cannot prove his words and actions
genuine unless we take his words for It
and tl)ls..we are compelled to do in the
absence of positive ' proof to the con
trary. The question bt 'grafting preachers is
like the question., of tainted money; for
If the' argument be reduced' to simplic
ity It would rest entirely upon the doc
trine of-utility.' It is better to have any

Robert Lou's Stevenson.
Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutly step by step with you,
Your whole, long, gusty lifetime through,
Be gone a while before
Be now a monument gone before.
Yet doubt not: anon the seasons shall
restore
Your friend to vou.
He ha but turned a corneN-stlll
He pushes on with right good will
Through mire ahd marsh, by heuch and
hill.
That self-same arduous way
That self-same upland, hopeful way
That you and he through many a doubt
ful dav
Attempted still.
He Is not dead, this friend not dead.
But tn the path we mortals tread
Cot some few. trifling steps ahead
And nearer to th end.
So that you, too, once past the bend.
Shall meet again, as face to face, ' thlr
friend
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heart: the while
You travel forward, mile by mile,
He loiters with a backward smile
Till you can overtake,
And strains his eyes to search his wake.
Or, whistling as he sees you through
the brake,
Walts on a stile.
