Another Important Railroad Decision.
Tho decision of the federal court rondered
through JUdgo T. C. Mungor in what is known
a the St, Joseph & Grand Island case, even
though litigation may be protracted by appeal,
looms up as of almost as much importance to
Nebraska people as tho Pacific railroad un
merger. In this Instance the Union Pacific, pursuing
tho plan of the late E. H. Hnrriman, acquired
control of a majority of. the stock of tho road
runnlngfrom Grand Island to St. Josoph, and
undcrtoook to make It the connecting link of a
through lino from the Pugct Sound to Kansas
City, using tho earnings of the road to that end.
While the minority stockholders were appar
ently trying merely to revive their right to
oarned dividends, which they alleged were be
ing diverted to tho benefit of tho Union Pacific,
Judge Munger has apparently hold the acquisi
tion of tho road by tho Union Pacific 1b in viola
tion of 'tho Sherman law, and his decree calls
for a segregation In a manner akin to the sepa
ration of other immersed roads and the resump
tion of actual rather than of constructive com
petition. Whon tho big unnicrger decision camo down
from tho. supreme court, The rice ventured the
suggestion that the same logic would apply to
fcoiiio other questionable railroad combinations
and tho opinion seems to bo having verification.
Legislative Indifference.
The unusual brevity of tho roport of tho sec
ictary of the stato banking board Just off tho
press, submitting statistics covorlng tho opera
tlons of tho Nebraska stato banks during tho
lost fiscal year, is explained by this striking
paragraph:,
I will deviate from tho former practice of the
department In the matter of suggestions n (o amend
ment of the' banking act as It now exists, for tha
reason that .! find the. legislature oanj-seldom be
brought to consider amendments suggested.
The' indlc'tmont of our legislative methods
hero goes deeper than may at flrBt appear. Tho
principal public, officer supervising our stato
l.iinklng system refrains from recommending
impovoments, becauso pnst oxporlcnco convinces
him such recommendations are futile. In other
words on tho intricate subject of banking the
legislature Is accustomed to disregard sugges
tions from tho authority best informed as to
veaknossqs and neods, and personally most dis
interested, or rather, ns a public official, most
interested, in securing sound banking, Tho un
fortunate part of 'this Is that this complaint ro

it Is the explanation of tho continuance of many

The two men supposed to have stood closest

roborated Mellen's story, instead of young Mor
gan's version, which again Is not surprising.
' Even the road to success merqly leads to

Thomas Gray had alroady put the thought, in

Getting-. Away from Collars,

to bo all .the-rage over In Paris, has caught on
somewhat In Chicago and elsewhere and bids
fair to do thriving business as .wo jnove slowly,
on our way toward tho shortest day of the year.
Anil yet, why' "give- Paris the credit, for It? Who
kupwi, but It 1b, merely a case of tho men Imitat
ing the American, womon, yes, emulating them?
For who would not rid his neck of a collar, oven
a soft coljar in the hot woather? To be sure,
tho habit can nvpr make men look as nice as it
does tho women, but neither can anything else.
1: can make them fool Just as' comfortable,
though'. ,
But ah, how far shall ,we .follow the fair ones
of tho -ett)Or sex with this little foible? Cer
tainly -not .much paBt (hat coveted shortest day.
The wolmejn must not think of luring the men
Into tho frosty season with, uncovored neck.
There is nothing to bo gained In that. As we
say. 'ft Is a casa of comfort,' not looijs, with the
jnn..'rtfiore. is the difference nfyhe stylo 'as
be'twopn them and the women. '.'' .
The men-of America, for the most part, hare
been making this a collarless ago in another
jsay, as compared with the past when all too
many men. especially some engaged In the pro
fession of "pqlltlfs, encumbered their ne,cks with
tho collars of certain Interests. The exposition

OMAHA, .May 28.-To the Editor of Tho
Bee: Now than Mayor Nathan of Borne,
a personage of world renown. Is soon to
be received by this republic as an envoy
oi naiy to the Fanama-Faclfir Interna
tlonal exposition, I believe It emmlnently
appropriate that so respectable and dls
tlngulshcd a personality be urged'to ac
cept the hospitality of f the pople of
umann.
In celebrating so momentous an event
In the history of nations, Italy sends Its
most lllustrous son. Mayor Nathan, tho
niusiiR oi mn new meas now animating
the national life of modern Italy, to view.
with representatives of other nations, the
mot remarkable physical achievement;
tho completion of the Panama canal.
It Is, therefore, certainly pleasant to
anticipate the coming, aa a guest of the
nation, such a one whose convictions of
the rights of humanity and the Ideals
of democracy aro so- fundamentally co-
related to the teachings of this republic.
Italy cannot send a worthier envoy; one
more agreeable to tho sentiment of tho
American people thnn Mayor Nathan.
Yea, the volco of Nathan should be
heard throughout this land to Inspire a
stronger conviction and a greater al
legeance "of our countrymen to thoso
motives which Impelled our ancestors to
revolution and the consequent founding
of this republic and to further awaken
tho national consciousness, to the pas
sions of men that run counter to the
freedom and progress of this nation
Because vigilance and revolution are tho
eternal forces of that altruistic democ
racy of truth, equality and Justice,
Envoy Nathan will undoubtedly re
turn to his government as an evangel of
a new hope to Italian humanity, with the
ever resounding plaudits from "the land
of the free and the homne of the brave"
lo encoursge him to oppose with greater
determination those who' contend that
human liberty Is contrary to the purpose
or Almighty Ood.

"Things are so -unsettled here, thanks
to our esteemed democratic president,
that wo don't know how much longer wo
will be abo to stay. It seems to be' the
policy of tha new administration to drop
all tha Americans In' tho service as fast
as they can find Filipinos to fill their
places. The governor general gives out
a notice about every two weeks to 'the
effect that no more heads will be chopped'
off, and a few days later the papers
come out with a list of a dozen or it
that are leaving, Oyer 60Q .Americans have

The first bill to pass tho House of Commons for

act nullifying tho veto power of the House of Iords
Is tho' bill for the disestablishment and' dlsendowment
or ma established English church in Wales. The
honor of precedence waa expected for Irish home rule,
but the fierceness of the tory battlo against the
latter gave the Welsh measure tho right-of-way. Both
measures aro now before the House of Lords, which
is allowed thirty days for consideration of each before
the close of the session. The Welsh bill had Its first
readhig April 15, 1912, and was carried by use of the

Its second reading In the same fashion by a vote of
S to 267. On the financial sldo the bill Is conceded
to be moderate. In 1006 the. Income of the Welsh
dioceses was JESSfl.OOO. Of this 2W.'X represented
voluntary contributions and Is unaffected. Of the
260,000 derived from endowments the bill takes away

And through the open window I can
scan the ribboned road,
As silvered o'er with hoar-frost It glis

A jeweled path to fairyland outside my
smalt abode.
'Tis then when others hasten to tho
sleepy land of rest.

So as I toil on through tho night whilst

When slumber shuts my eyelids In the
