Persistant ro ports that the demand of the

White House drew forth not long ago an au
thoritative statement to the effect that the pres
ident bad no opinion to express on this subject,
and that ho regarded decisions of tho Inter-
uto commerce commission as In the naturo of
judicial oociBions, wnicn no couia not wun pro
priety attempt to Influence.
For tho president to side with tho railroads
regardless of their shewing would, of course,
have been entirely uncalled for. Rut should
the Interstate Cotnm.rce commission render
what strikes the public as a biased or projudlced
verdict, the president could hardly escape shar
ing tho responsibility. Even some of tho presi
dent's most partisan supporters see this wlt
ness the rernnrk of tho Lincoln Star that "tho
fart that President Wilson has had the appoint
ment of three members of tho commission Is the
fact that will weigh." The Star thus intimates j
that the president will bo charged with the
credit or discredit that attaches to whatever the
commission does, particularly If its action is de
termined, as it must be, by his appointees. The
recollection that the last nomination to tho In
terstate Commerce commission was opposed in
the sonato because of a rocord'favorlng the rail
roads in matters of capitalization, and was con
firmed only In response to personal plcaa from
the White House, accentuates this condition,
and, although exciting no controversy now,' will
not eBcapo attention later.
Penalties for Fee-Splitting.
As ap actlvo factor In exposing the abuses
of fce-spllttlng by medical practitioners, The
hoc naturally commends the action of the Ne
braska State Medical association to abolish tho
system In this state. Let us hope the associa
tion will Impartially and vigorously follow up Its
resolution and enforce Its rules without fear or
favor until the fee-spllttera, If not restrained
from an ethical senso, bo afraid for other reas
ons to barter patients agafnst the best divvy ob
tainable. Our Lincoln staff correspondent says: "The
majority of tho society members admitted the
practice wan prevalent and deplorod its exist
ence," Tho Bee has frequently pointed out it
prevalence,, directing attention to the monaco
of its abuses, and if now Its efforts and Influ
ence have helped to crystallise sentiment, It
will fool that It has done something worth
while. Tho doctors, on the other hand, In
adopting this resolution, havo made only a Btart
for the restoration of confidence In their pro
fession. They, themelves, would, wo think, be
the last to deny that public confidence has been
shaken because of this and other more crooked
practices In which some have engaged.
Expulsion for two years Is the penalty pre
scribed tor the first offense and permanent ex
pulsion for tho second. A few object le-sson
examples will do the Job.
Mix-up' Between Folk and MoXeynold;
Attorney General McReynolds sava Mr. Mel
len shall not go upon the wltnoBB stand In tho
New Haven hearing. Joseph W. Folk says he
shall, and he does. Tho attorney general' Is tho
official, head of the Department of Justice, Mr.
Folk only special counsel for. tho, Interstato
Commerce commission. Doth are appointed by
tho president. When Mr. McReynolds de
murred to the plan of examining Mr, Mellon,
Mr, Folk callod in portion on the attorney gen
pral. He left the latter'a office soon after en
tering It.. Ills appearance and mood betrayed
his feelings. Ho said, when askod, that he left
because Mr. McReynolds' actions -Were such as
to make It Uncomfortable to remain.
Tho examination proceeds according to the
Folk plan and precisely contrary to tho Mc
Reynolda plan, Now the question agitating tho
nttorney general's mind is doubtless this: "la
It mo or Flannogan, the boarder?" Whp shall
answer, but tha president? And If bo, will his
mind rovert to the little episode la California
early In his administration when the same Mc
Reynolds advised him similarly to lay-off the
prosecution of a&me very rich and very promi
nent malefactorB? Is there anything in the final
records of tho Western Fuel company case to
prejudice the proeldent In favor of-his attor
ney general at this time?
it begins to look as If there might be Just
a speck or two blood on the moon that beams
down upon the official family at Washington.

Senatorial Courtesy.
Among othor choice expressions, "asslnlne."
"falsifier," "strained effort to get an appropria
tion," "brains at tho base of his tongue Instead
of his head," In debate on the floor of the sen
ate remind us that though "the old order
changeth," thpre Is enough of It left In the up
per branch of congress to preserve the distinc
tion between entente cordlale and senatorial
courtesy.
Senatorial courtesy is a cloak that covers
a multitude of forensic sins. , It acts as a gal
vanized armour of Impervious resistance, when
it cornea to Injury from tho fiercest ehafts of
passion. If the Tlllmana and McLaurlna can
engage In their fisticuffs, surely the oratorical
champions can hold their little carnivals of
name-calling without any violence to this tradi
tional code of ethics.
While It Is disappointing for brethren not to
dwell together In unity, there seems to be some
thing exceptionally entertaining just now in
these little tete-a-totes. They heln break th
! mnoutony of dull harmony that hangs like a
pall over tho deliberations of the present demo.
cratlc congress. The people must hav some
thing tor their money and Mr. Dryan refuses to
do anything out of the ordinary In between
chautaqua seasons.
Now, if instead of Blmply talking about It
these Improvement clubs would pull off dally
dandelion exterminating bees, they might ex
hibit e model patch of lawn In each section of
the city for the neighborhood to copy after. No
charge for this suggestion.
Funerals of our war heroes killed at Vera

In Other Lands
Another ntlllon-Doltar Country.
Great Britain budget for the coming fiscal year
promises to challenge the claim of tho United States
to first placo aa a "billion-dollar country." The va
rious national and old age pension plan Introduced
by the eminent upllfter of the plain people, Chan
cellor IJoyd-Ocorge, supplementing a steadily swell
ing naval establishment, results in a deficit of nearly
$17,000,009, so that new taxes must be levied to provide-
a total of 1.003,i76,000 for the budget year. In
submitting hl estimates to Parliament the chan
cellor announced that tha additional revenue "wilt bo
drawn from Increased Income taxes and Increased
death dutle two sources which strike the well-to-do
In a tender spot. On every Incomo nxcecdlng 3,000 a
year the rata of Incitaae ranges from ltt pence to 3
pence In the pound sterling, with a supertax of 12
per cent on Incomes exceeding Ili.OO) a year. Death
duties are to he advanced from 13 to M per cent, ft
figure calculated to prolong the grief of helrs-at-law
i far beyond the date of the funeral. In this, aa In
preceding budgets, the ministry keeps atcadlly In
view an Improved standard of health, comfort and
education of the working classts, the cost of which
must bo met by the rich.
Socialist Gnlns In Fmncr,
The chief feature of last Sunday's .rebatlotlng for
member of the French Chamber of Deputies who
did not receive a majority at the first balloting' on
April 25 Is a gain of thirty-eight seats by the so
cialists, giving them 101 seats In the new cham
ber, as ftgajnst sixty-eight in (he old. The
Catllaux radicals gained slightly, having won a total
of 161 seats, as compared with ISC In tho old chamber.
The several republican groups Identified aa Brlahdlsta
lost thlrty-four seats, their strength falling: from 2M
to 2C A fact of somo significance Is that while tha
socialists lost ground In Paris, where the party was
supposed to be uncommonly strong, they overcame
tho loss by gains In the country. The gain Is ac
counted for, to some extent, by royalist support of
socialism, prompted by the conviction that the
quickest way of discrediting republicanism Is to drlvo
It to socialism. Tito cnanges in tne complexion oi
the chamber, however, are not sufficient to alter the
policy of the ministry with respect to the three,-ear
army aervlco measure, which the adclallata strenu
ously fought.
Balkan War Brntnlltlea.
The Carnegie International commission which In
vestigated the ravages of war In the Balkans finds
that there Is no visible difference between Christian J
and Moslem methods of slaughtering each other. The
report follows the lines Indicated by advanced sum
maries published last winter. No attempt has been
made either to gloss over the Macedonian horrors or
to shook the world with details. Dreadful things
were done, and It Is useless to try to apportion the
blame. As the commission sal's, the preaont genera
tion In tha Balkans grew up under Turkish rule,
accustomed to Turkish modes of warfare. If In bit
terness they outdid the Turk It was because under
the phlegmatic and cynical Turkish rule a savac
and secret guerrilla warfare had long- been waged
between the hostile nationalities and Christian fac
Hons. It waa found that the crimes perpetrated by
Chrlrtlans upon Moslem In Macedonia In many In
stances surpassed the atrocities of the Turks, nor
can any of the warring nations ue ocquittca ot par
barltlea. In regard to the present outlook for peace
the commission la deeply pessimistic, so great has
been the demoralisation wr6ught.br this hideous war
fare.
Dublin Calls Yankee Doctor.
In anticipation of the early coming of an Irish
Parliament at Dublin, the Irish capltat sends & hurry
call to Prof. John Nblen Of Cambrldget Mass., a, spe
cialist In city planning, to come over and assist a
local commission in rejuvenating tha city. The main
object in view is better housing1 conditions, and Dub
lin Is sorely In need of an .uplift of that kind. The
prospectus of the commission calling , for competitive
plana for the "Oreater DUMin" contemplates xnern
elusion of not only the adjacent .townships of. Fern
brokn and Itathmlnes. but also from Ilowth to Kings
town and Dalkey, inclusive, and from Olasnevln and
Ashtown to Dundrum. The prospectus estimates that
14,000 dwellings should be provided for In the suggested
plans, and that the Utilisation of tha present teno
menta should not be overlooked. In the rebuilt quar
ters of the town provision should not be made for
hOuaing more than 100 persons, to an acre, It says,
and not more than sixty to the aero in the suburbs.
Attention la also called to the, standard normally
taken In American cities which allow one acre for
every ten for park and playground purposes.

Swedish Women "ChatteUt"
OMAHA, May 35.-To tho Editor of The

cx-Mlnlster Graves' address on Sweden
and the 8wedes at the Noonday club last
iucsoay. The fine delineation of Swedish

How to Get a Job
The next best and wisest thing for a
work-hunter to do after and while ad
vertising in the "Situations Wanted" col
, umn of The Bee is to study the HELP
WANTED advertisements and to answer
all that look at all likely.
The job you probably ought to have is
apt to be advertised any day. Whether
or not you find and answer that special
advertisement,; may change the whole
course of your life.
Make ono of these ads worth more to you than' it
is to anybody else. YOU CAN DO IT.
