Granting that tho law meant to imply the existence of a commercial izing purpose in tho white slavo law, It still did not Intend to abrogate tho rulo of reason. If, as London papern say, President Wilson has borrowed tho republican policy of dealing with Latin America, then there is hope for a successful ending of his negotiations. Tho proclaimed program ot the "progressives" promises a distinctive third party candidate for conirress in every district. Those progressives must bo bent on doing all they can to keep the democrats in power.

Mr. Bryan's vacations differ from those of tho subordinates in the Stat department In that he can take his on the installment plan whenever proiiiaoie cnautauqua date comes within reach: also that he claims vacation before he hag been on the Job six months, while usually a vaca tlon presupposes at least a year in the service. Politics in Massachusetts. Politics in tho Old Bay state pro sent Just now as interesting a situa tion as in any state in tho union, not barring tho Emplro state, which is veritably bubbling over politically. In Massachusetts tho lines aro drawn for a clean-cut gubernatorial fight, which ordinarily would dotermlno tho control of tho wholo Btato govern ment Tho backsliding of Governor Fobs, hlmsolf a comparatively recent democratic convert, has given tho democrats a new standard bearer by tho name of Walsh, against whom tho republicans are rallying behind for mer Congressman Augustus P. Gard ner, whllo tho remnant of the so called progressives will try again with tho samo leader, Charles S. Bird, the wealthy manufacturer, with whom they went down to defeat last year. Tho republican nomlnco 1b hailed overywhero as a man possessing tho highest qualifications and with an ex ceptionally fine record as a member of congress, and in addition stando out as tho typical exponent of what is being called "tho now republican ism." Unless present signs change or fall, Mr. Gardner will be tho winner in tho race, in fact his success would bo assured and conceded even now except for tho diversion of tho so called "progressives," As sized up by tho usually clear-sighted Boston Transcript, "tho progressive party will devote Its efforts to polling a sufficiently largo vote to defeat the exponont of 'the now republicanism," And further, "If tho next governor of Massachusetts is not Gardner, It will bo Walsh, for tho only hopo of tho domocrats for victory this yoar lies In tho presence of a third party In tho field made up largely of former re publicans." In a word, division of tho opposing forces alono sustains democratic expectations and the voter who persists In following tho third: party wlll-o'-tho-wisp in Massachu setts merely proclaims that he pre fers to havo a democrat rather than a republican in tho governor's chair. Coal Road Divorcement. Tho Pennsylvania's purported Bale of its anthraclto coal holdings raises tho interesting point that the law was presumed to divorce all railroads fronv such properties a good while ago and yot up to date tho Pennsyl vania, whoso coal interosts are slight as compared to other anthracite roads, Is the only ono to mako a move, Concurrently with President Ilea's announcement comes a report from Washington ot the Department of Justice's plan to press Its suit against all thoso lines controlling tho coal market In Pennsylvania. Nine railroads aro supposed to control tho total output ot the anthracite mines and tho delay in prosocutlng tho suit for separation undor tho amended interstate commorco law is not ex plained. But what will bo tho effect in tho event of tho completo dlsassociation of thoso nine railroads from tho an thracite coal Industry? Will It reduce prices to tho consumer? If not, whoro will tho advantage of tho dissolution Ho? That surely Is tho practical test at stako. It stands to reason that common ownership ot coal-carrying railroads and tho mines produces prlco domination, bo that some relief should bo expected through dissolu tion. With a steady lncrcaso In out put and no corresponding increase in coBt ot production, prices havo still boon udvancing so that It calls for a good deal ot credulity to believe that prices will be materially cut by tho promisod industrial divorce. Helpful Immigration. The notion that immigration, and particularly tho kind of Immigra tion that cornea to our shores In thoso latter days, is not helpful to our progress, as u nation Is not ac cepted by the most intelligent ob servers, much as it may be urged by restrlctlonlsts as an argument tor closing tho doors. Let us quote from a statement of President Harry Pratt Judson of tho University of Chicago on his rot urn this week from an oxtonded trip abroad: We came back on the Imnerator. the world's largest ship. In tho steerage were 1,500 Immigrants. These mme mostly from the southern countries nf Europe. These people aro worthy and enterprising' and honest. They can't set into our country unless thev are henlthv and I see no reason for keeping them out In fact, I believe these Poles and Biavs ana other races from Europe will. In mixing and intermarrying with our Americans, mako for the ultimate bet terment of our country and our new race. Dr. Judson might be referred to as a "high brow" and possibly as a "blue-blood." but ho realties that tho Amerlcon nation is a conglomerate of all the various nationalities of Europe and ho sees plainly that our strength must be maintained in tho same way that it was built up. If immigration has been vital in the past, tho continued Influx ot healthy and ambitious Immigrants will be helpful all the tlmo. It now develops in these homeo pathic exposes of "The World's Mys teries" that tho Clay-Randolnh duel back In 1826 was nothing but a frame-up Just like a modern wrest ling match, presumably. Who knowa but that is what put duelling "on the bum?" Nothing of so trifling imcortnn. as the constitution should stand be tween friends anyway.

To the Editor of Tho Bee: Columns are printed In newspapers on events of sometimes no abiding Im portance. I am sure you will bear with me In emphasizing an event and memory from last ovenlng that has abiding Importance to our city. I mean tho farewell recep tion to Dr. M. B. Williams ot the First Methodist Episcopal church. The ad vent, labor and departure ot a man of tho spirit, gospel principles and firm Christian purpose of Dr. Williams bos an Importance to any city Infinitely exceed ing the little affairs of money and In dustry. In a masterly and to my heart, unfor gettable address by the manly president of Omaha university, Prof. D. E. Jenk ins, emphasis was placed on the fact that Dr. Williams was that type of pas tor that docs "not hide the Cross of Christ" The speaker showed how the ministry of tho departing clergyman had been one In which "central things were contral," by which he meant that the preaching, teaching and application of the Cross-gospel stood out prominently. I wish that address had been stenographed and printed In all our Omaha papers. Arid when then an elderly, noble-vlsaged member of the church, a spiritual pillar, rose and added a similar testimony In words full of power, I could not refruln from saying to myself, "And .such pas tors Omaha must lose? Such men walk the Via Dolorosa leading out of our city? Men of such spirit, with that only mes sage Christianity has, the message ot the cross, bo weighted with burdens unutter able?" If there Is any type of clergy this city needs, this beautiful, but, oh, so unchurched city of ours that we love. It is men, who aro not ashamed of tho gospel," nor afraid to preach, teach and apply It It must be a hallowed memory to a con gregation's Christian element, that It had the benefit of a ministry which, as, Dr. Jenkins said, "did not hide the cross of Christ," the gospel of redemption In the blood of the world-Redeemer. Any one of us honored by the privilege of attend once at this magnificent and Chrlstlanly spirited farewell reception could only wish that the Christian clement of that congregation and others of our city might boldly, confidently, prayerfully and with willingness to suffer In confession of faith uphold that type of ministry In Omaha. I havo often written In these cotums against the rude ribaldry, the vulgar slang, the un-blbllcal confusion of Chris tian truth marking many of the most popular so-called evamrlli r Omaha's pastors. Omaha's best, safest, uoa-given evangelists, has been the motto. Right here I can fh.n Hinnh former statements and add: Glvo us pastors that preach the gospel of the cross In the sDlrit ne h men! less In rebuke of sin, fearless in offering io mo -ureexa and Jews" of Christian churches the only saving gospel, that in the blood of Christ Then Omaha yia1 no other evnngellsts. But If the true pastoral evangelists we have are to find labor among us a Via Dolorosa, the road of sorrow, and be stoned out of the city, then we merit an Infliction In the shape of those crudh evangelists that insult the human conscience, that Violate every code of Christian fineness of spirit, that turn preaching Into merchandise and make the church rude and coarse in it niri(i,ni conceptions and spiritual attitude. If tho preachers of the cross gospel hereafter be accorded in Omaha, our city will leave the ranks of the most unchurchly cities of the land ana uo cnangea into a spiritual oasis. ADOLF HULT, Pastor of Immanuel Luthern Church. Hoist tho Floss. OMAHA, Sept .27. To tho TCrtlfnr nf The Bee: On crossing the river from Council Bluffs this morning on a motor car I could not help notice how deso late Omaha looked and our mnini in full blast. The same drearv nlo-hf in seen from the different railroads entering tne city, mile rtrst lroprewlon to the strangers visiting our city for th carni val la certainly not a very pleasing one io oay ine least. The cltlsens of Omaha spend thousands of dollars advertising the Ak-Sar-Ben one way or oth. nnri especially decorating a few streets up town and near the carnival grounds, but no ono dollar goes to housetop decora tion. How much more inviting to the stranger entering the city, if they could see a flag (Ak-Sar-Ben or Ktin.ii streamer or pendant floating from every nag poio in me city. To place a flag pole In the city would not cost much ana wouia sua to the appearance of the town moro than all the Jtreet decora tion. The two together would make a pleasing sight Why would It not be a good plan to ask every owner of a flag pole to put up some kind of flag or banner and keep It up during the rest of the carnival T Several years ago this was done, along with the street decorations, and the old town never looked so Rav and InviHn before or since. From my office window I can count at least fifty, flag poles and not a single one Is carrying a decora tion of any kind. I believe that if th. owners of flag poles were solicited they wouia run up a nag ror the rest of the carnival. Suerelr worth trying, I am willing to do my part W. Q. SHRIVEIt Itesrnlate Horse-Drnvrn Vehlni... OMAHA, Sept 28,-To the Editor or The Bee; Have the drivers of horse drawn vehicles in this city any regard whatsoever ror the rules of the roadT 3t is one ot the most acnrnLvatlnr nmn. lems of traveling upon publio highways and one which should demand the atten tion or our municipal officials. At a few of the Intersection nf ant streets In the downtown district police trarrio officers maintain at least a semblance of traffics rerulattnna k,,. away from these corners on the hundreds or unpoucea crossings, it Is a different matter. Few people appreciate th fact th, - considerable proportion of all traflc ao- ciaenu are occasioned by this careless ness upon the part of drivers of horse drawn vehicles, who contributing so greatly to the cause, are seldom blamed for their participation In the dlssaster. The promiscuous "cutting' of corners, traveling upon the wrong side of the street and numerous other evils should be stopped. Furthermore, mere children should not bo permitted to drive teams around the city, menacing the llfn and Hmb or all who pass their way. The police summarily put a stop to automo bile driving by juvenile. A similar step should be taken In the matter or horse- driving. Horse-drawn vehicles, traveling public highways and streets after dark, aro subject to the same limitations as motor vehicles and should be required to carry lights for night riding. This Is a meas ure which tho safety of the publlc-at-large demands. The automobile has been given a "rough" deal In tho past. It is tlmo to wake up and glvo the devil his due. Why not require of horse drivers the same do gree of fidelity to road regulations that Is expected of the autorooblllst? With fair play In this respect, there will be fewer casualties and more safety for all who frequent the roads and streets. J. W. WOOD. A bry Weather Fish Story. OMAHA, Sept. 23. To the Editor of The Bee: A reminder of dry weather and a fish story In 1S5. I served In the First Nebraska cavalry as corporal, doing stage guard duty, from Fort Kearney to Smith's ranch on the north side of the Platte river. There were four men and a corporal and I was the corporal. We followed the staga from one station to the other, and would wait for the next stage. The summer was very hot and the roads very dusty and tho Platte river was dry, no water running. We rode In the channel of the river because thero was no dust and It was better for our horses with only small puddles of water here and there. I saw a very large catfish and I thought It was dead. It was not entirely covered with water, so I put my foot on It and it splashed mud all over me. I asked my comrades to help put the fish on my horse. It took five of us to do the lob. It weighed at least 209 pounds. We went to the first ranph and tried to sell It The ranchman had' no money, but offered me five but tles of Red Jacket Bitters, which we ac cepted and we were happy. JOHN F. BEIIM. "SeTen-f op-n-Oinarter. OMAHA, Sept. 27. To the Editor of The Beet' Seven fares for a quarter looks good at close range, but how about ulti mate results? Will tho street car com pany be restricted to Omaha only, or can they put the thumbscrews on and make the patrons of South Omaha, Benson and Dundee make up the loss if there be any? How would 8 or 10 cents be from Benson or Dundeo; Instead of 5 cents? Better let well enough alone and remem ber our waterworks for an object lesson. ItNieoms to me tho man who wants more for his money than a rldo from Albright to Benson wonts something for nothing. Of course, the seven-for people will tell you wo are not all going that way. But as It is, thero Is nothing to hinder them If they want to spend a nickel. Don't make us who have to cross tho line pay any more, or at least Jeopardize our chances. I believe in justice, Individual and corporate, no more and no less. The one ,1s Interdependent with the other, notwithstanding the dogma of socialism. C. MARTIN, 42BS Parker Street Twice Told Tales Another Version. A man who went away from home some time ago to attend a convention ot church people was struck with the beauty ot the llttlo town tn which the gathering wis held, He had plenty of time, and while wandering about walked Into the vtllago cemetery. It was a beautiful place, and' hs walked around among the graves. He saw a monument one of the largest In the cemetery, and read with surprise the Inscription on it: "A Lawyer, and an Honest Man." The man scratched his head and looked at the monument ugoln. Ho read the in scription over and over. Then he walked all around the monument and examlnod the grave closely. Another man In tho cemetery approached and asked him: "Have you found the grave of an old friend ?" "No," said the man; "but I was wonder ing how they came to bury those two fellows in one grave."
