Tho railway magnatos, who handle
re II road s ns financial foot balls,
rather than as Investment properties,
will naturally object strenuously to
this, but developments In the 'Frisco

inforced tho demand for safe- and
sound financing. To quota from the

Those exposures cannot fall to give an

Commerce commission the Issue ot all
securities by interstate railroad corpora
tions. The commission itself desires an
extension of Ita authority In that direc
tion; tho 'Frisco episode may now furnish
the battery ammunition requisite for
carrying through the proposed federal
law.
This states tho situation in a nut
shell. It', might bo added that state
legislation would bo wholly inade
quate In n matter of this kind, and
that national legislation nlono would
bo better than a combination or con
flict of state nnd federal laws.
Federal Aid to Good Roads.
Senator lloko 8mlth of Georgia is
sponsor for a now bill for fedoral aid
to good roads, tho distinctive feature
ot-which Is to hcjp in road improve
ment generally rathor than the build
ing of new nntlonal highways. Tho
bill provides that thq secretary of
agriculture co-opersto with state offi
cials in "the construction nnd maln
tonanco of poet roads; that tho
amount of money which may bo ex
pended on bohalf of tho United States
for that purposo In any fiscal year"
shall not exceed $2,000,000.
81nco tho government la so rapidly
exteridlng Its freo rural mall service
end engaging In tho good roads
movement such a measure mny count
on' strong support, and yot it Is sure
to oncountor serious opposition on
tho ground that It may servo aa tho
opening wedge for never-ending ap
propriations by eongross. A similar
proposition by Congressman Shackle
ford of Missouri had passed tho house
and was defeated In tho senate at tho
last session. It Is apt to bo urged
with renewed -vigor as th good roads
propaganda has gained new Impetus
in the national highway project since
then. It Is being argued that as tho
government has given ita moral sup
port to tho good roads movement, to
U must yield Its financial assistance.
Kansas as a Haven of Refuge.
A Pennsylvania judge gave a con
victed prisoner his option of thirty
years in the state penitentiary or life
free in Kansas, and the man elected
the latter. ThU may he a Judge's
rttaVidM- ot liumof , hut 'lln any
event It' seems somewhat of A trav
esty on Justice and tho queerest kind
of conception of Kansas and thq
great delightful west of which It is
a'part.
The prisoner Is about tho. most for
tunate of any wo have ever heard,
who Came under tho sentence of' the
law. It ho has lived in some corners
and communitloo. to bo found ia
Pennsylvania, lie doubtless will docldo
after reaching Kansas that he really
ought to suffer some sort of penalty
for not making tho change ot real-'
dence on his own account years ago.
Tho governor of Kansas welcomes
the refugee. Bays he will be kept un
der proper surveillance for n tlmo,
and If ho proves himself disposed to
become a gead citizen will bo re
lieved of all restrictions and admitted
to the bosom ot Kansas on the same
footing as any other newcomer. Gov
ernor Hodges Is right in saying that
banishment to Kansaa might not he
a bad thing for many other men of
the congested, squalid quarters of
some of the large eastern cities. Yes,
to Kansas, Nebraska or any of these
great empires of wealth and oppor-i
tunlty. What is there that extols
freo llfo In tho fresh air ot such a
country? .
Worse Than Jim Crow Laws.
The Florida legislature must have
meant to outdo Jim Crowlsm when It
enacted tho law making It "unlawful
for whlto teachers to teach negroes
In any negro schools, and for negro
teachers to teach in whlto schools,"
the penalty for violation of which is
a fine of 9500 or imprisonment for
six months.
No ono wio knows a thing about
the facta will bo deceived as to tho
necessity or pronioiting Dy law "ne
gro teachers to teach in white
schools." There is no danger of Buch
a thing in Florida. The real intent
ot the law Is aimed tho other way.
It is said to be the closing of mis-
n schools conducted for negroes by
whlto people. Evidently Florida, un.
like Georgia and some of tho pro
grosBlvo souJLhern states doing much
for the education of the negro, means
to keep Ita black folks from getting
an education, it possible. In other
words, It would have them remain lg'
uorattt to prevent tuolr rising to
hlghor stations of independence.
Here Is a situation that will vitally
affect thoso churches, Young Men's
Christian associations and other such
agencies that arc sending their teach
ers and home missionaries into Flor
ida, as well as other southern states
with large colored populations. Ira
inbnBe good has followed such work,
and it seems rather audacious for a
stata to attempt to stop and prevent
it by the enactment of laws. It raiaes

OMAHA, Nov. 2S.-TO the Editor ot The
Beer Every well regulated family- must
have -Its laws and rulen ot government,
and thes must be upheld either by per.
suasion 6r by force, and either the father
or tho mother, or both jointly, must gov
ern, and neither should interfero with
the authority of the other. A child In
open rebellion against the lawa of the
family stands In the same relation to
Its parents as the criminal to the Judge,
and such rebellion must be punished, for
rebellion Is contagious and If not put
down with a high hand It spreads and
plunges the family Into the whirlpools of
anarchy. Before a child attains the use
of reason It must be compelled to obey
through fear as those "cltlicm who never
make a proper use of their reason must
be made to submit to the state laws by
being threatened, and If necessary,
severely punished, When a child begins
to reason concerning right and wrong
acts, It must not be allowed to imbibe
notions of right and wrong which arc
peculiar, extraordinary or different from
those held by the parents, for "a house
divided against Itself cannot stand," and
where there are two standards of right
and wrong In a family there will ba war
In the air continually.
The government of a family should be
autocratic, and the parent should de
mand obedience and enforce this demand
by kindness If possible, and when kind
ness falls to make the proper Impression,
the whip, or some other form of pun
ishment should be applied In order to
teach the child to obey. A nation or a
family may adopt some unjust laws; a
parent, a teacher or a judge may err In
their decisions, yet the poorest form of
government and tho most unreasonable
rules are better than no government, and
no rules.
To say that a parent should uso no
other means with a child than persuasion
Is equal to saying that a Judgo should
discharge all violators of the law with
a word of good advice. A rule or a law
tliat provides no penalty tor Its trans
gression Is worthless, and a command
that can be disobeyed without suffering
any punishment la not a command, hut
a request not a law, but only a recom
mendation.
Whether an act committed by a child
Is punishable or not depends mainly upon
whether or not it hits disobeyed a com
mand knowingly, and It It has, It ouht
to be punished reasonably for Us own
good and for tho good ot the family and
the state. Without laws and penalties
there can be neither peace nor safety in
the world, and Blackstone defines law as
a rule of action, dictated by a superior,
Which the Inferior Is bound to obey."

Plaltsmouth Journal: "Get you gown to
