The town Is all ages oyer tlie Indictment by the

Adlai E. Stevenson.
The passing of Adal K. Stevensoa closes a
picturesque career in American politics, a career
that links the old and the new eras. When It Is
recalled that his first appeal to the voters was
af candidate for proeldentl&l elector In 18C4, and
his last as candidate for governor in 190S, and
that between tho two ho had run twice for vice
pronldent, and been onoo olMted, the untquo
place he occupies In our political history is
belter understood.
At the same tlmo, history will hardly cerdlt
him with any high degree of statesmanship. His
first national promlnonco came from zealous
service as tho political hoadsman in tho Post-
office dopartmont under tho first Clovoland ad
ministration, nnd ho was tacked on to tho presi
dential ticket when Clovoland ran the third time
ns a matter of oxpodloncy. Porsonal attachment
to Covoland did not provent him from remain
ing with his party when It Drynnlzed, and his
later nomination for the vice presidency with
Bryan was prompted by tho hopo that It would
bring hack tho previously nlicnatod Cleveland
following.
While tho impression gonorally prevails that
politics Is tho paco that kills, It Is gratifying to
obsorve that "Undo Adlai" went through all
the Btorm and stress of our most strenuous
porlod to tho ripe old ago that brought him la
sight of his eightieth year
Our Guess Died A-Bornin'.
Tho dosporato Inquiry Is launched by tho
Lincoln Star as to what has become of the pot
project of the Hon. "MIko" Harrington to dlvldo
tho Biiprorno court Into suctions, nnd putting the
nrloua sections on wheels to ho carried about
over tho state Tho schomo, ns outllnod in the
clroular Iottor, was to Initiate a constitutional
nmondmont onlarglng the bu promo court, mak
ing membership olcctlvo by districts, nnd pro
viding for periodical sessions within tho dis
tricts. A meotlng of Influential lawyers in sym
pathy with tho plan, and ready to got behind It,
was to havo boon held In Omaha on Memorial
day, but no ono was ablo to locate tho meeting,
which presumably fallod to tako placo. Tho Star
suggests that possibly one contributing reason Is
tho oxporlonco with tho federal court sessions
required by law otitsldo of Omaha and Lincoln
which It Is said aro "more or less perfunctory af
fairs comprsng chofly tho cry of tho bailiff
for tho opening of tho court, the announcement
for adjournment, and tho rush for tho train."
To rollovo Tho Stnr's distress nbout tho Harring
ton schomo, wo boldly vonturo tho guess that It
died a-born'.
Loafers and Unemployed.
If. tho nrodictlon of tho Bocrotary of acrlcul--
turo holds good, that within n month thero will
bo moro Jobs than men, what shall wo say of
tboso men who aro suro to bo found lounging
around tholr habitual hnunts of indolenco? For
it is folly to say that all men now Idlo will bo at
work. Wo may then, got n doarer idea of. tho
dlfferenco betwoen an unemployed man nnd a
loafer.
Socrotary Wllson'e view seomB to bo largoly
shared by Qoorgo M. Roynolds, tho grcnt Chi
cago bnnker, who Buys that ns soon as tho har
vests begin to como In 'on a largo scale tho busi
ness pulso will quicken, tho slack in tho ropo
will be tnkon up and tho demand for men will
becomo insistent. Not all, of course, will bo
wanted for tho harvest fields, but look at the
whools of Industry waiting on tho reaper for
their acceleration. Tho ramifications aro too
nuremous to mention.
No ncod to arguo that all men out of work,
will willingly work If given tho chanco. Wo
havo had too many demonstrations to tho con
trary not to know bottor than thnt. Yet, no ono
Intonds to rofloct on tho honest seeker after a
Job. This much, though, should bo mado clear,
that every tlmo a howl of calamity goes up about
tho immenso numbers of unemployed, such aB
wont up last winter, a good deal of tho howl
Is a false alarm. Many ot thoso men ns tho gov
ernor of Now York proved forming tho head
lines In Gotham and olsowhore, weto thero be
cause thoy proforrod It to tho task of getting
tholr bread by tho swoat of their browB. So when
tho npproachlng rojuvonation gots under full
headway, possibly wo may havo n chanco to dif
ferentiate betwoen merely tho men out of work
and tho professional loafers.
Proof of the Pudding.
Tho prosldont has not boon in a hurry for
tho adjournment of congress. Ho has his rea
sons and somo of them aro that ho desires his
legislative program completed before tho fall
oloctlons. Perhaps ho Is not insensible, also
to tho fact that his party faces a grave situation
at tho polls in Novombor. Thero it must rondor
an accounting of Its stewardship, and tho first
thing the people will bo insistent on knowing
is tho effect of tho noW tnrlff law on tho cost of
living.
What will tho nnawor bo? If any demo
cratic loador in or out of congross has thus far
bo much ns attempted to show that tho WilBon
Underwood tariff has afforded any material ro-
liof as to high prices, it has escaped us. Yet
very definite and explicit plodgos wore mndo.
Tho consumer was assured that under a domo
ciatlo tariff ho would be freed from oppressive
conditions and oxcessivo price, Tho consumer
knows whether ho has realized on this assur
nnco or not. He knows that in many lnstnncos
his cost of living, instoad of diminishing, has
increased. The producer on tho farm, on tho
other hand, knows thnt he has suffered somo
reduction In commodity prices which ho has
had for salo.
Just how democracy expects to moot this
situation and to obtain re-endorsement at tho
polls, this fall we are at a loss to'undorstand.

DBNVISR, Colo., June IS. To tho Edi
tor of The Bee: Some months ago th
Woman's Protectlvo leagrue called atten
tion to tho unlawful practice of the Don
ver Juvenllo court In virtually protect
ing' men confessing- or convicted of
crimes against girl children.
These statements were supported by
verified transcripts of the official rec
ords of tho juvenile court Itself.
But so shameful was the state of af
fairs disclosed that Denver and the rest
of tho country found It hard to believe,
especially slnco Judge Ltndsey has long
trained the public to bellcvo In his devo
tion to children and that anyone who
criticises the Juvenile court dors so from
some selfish or sinister motive.
The disclosures of tho Woman's Pro
tective lengue, however, raised doubts
and set people to thinking and Investi
gating somothlng they never did before.
Tills, together with his recent shock
ingly falso statements In the east about
strike conditions In Colorado, havo at
last aroused our people to his real char
acter and that of his Juvenllo court.
The Woman's Protective league, there
fore, desires to call your attention again
to Its charges nnd its efforts to expose
this man begun about a year ago, and
to predict his speedy elimination from
tho publlo life ot Colorado.

FREMONT. Neb., Juno k-To the
Editor of Tho Bee; Discussing the fatal
automobile nccldent Into Omaha, I have
mado this road 100 times or moro and It
Is ono of the most dangerous crossings I
havo over experienced. It is Just at a
bend from tho west and If you take extra
precaution and walk to see It track Is
clear with your car stopped, by the time
you ara back again nnd have your en
gine started, It takes a few minutes, and
then the car Is baroly going, with the
result that these few minutes allow am
plo tlmo for one of the fast trains to
round thn curve and meet you. There Is
absolutely no precaution that can be
taken with assured safety with the con
ditions as they are.
My suggestion and only preventative Is
to compel the railroad companies to cut
tho banks down back, nay 10) feet, and If
necessary more, and In doing this It will
glvo tho auto man n clear view both up'
and down tho track for a mite to the
south nnd almost half a mile to the
north. This Is not such an expensive
matter and certainly Is a safeguard to
the publlo and tho railroad company and
with tho railroad companies' Blogan of
"Safety First" I cannot understand why
these principles have not been applied
beforo In this case.
In this connection, I note there are so
many nf these crossings with these high
embankments and I feel that our rail
road commission should compol the rail
road companies to lower these all over
the state wherever they aro and you will
have few accidents of this sort. 1 do
not write this as a letter to be printed
In your columns, but feci that as a person
you should tako it up and agitate It as it
Is certainly for the good of the public
and safety to all concerned. O. II.
A (.rrnt Disappointment.
OMAHA, June H-To tho Editor of The
Bee: It Is now eight months since the
now tariff wont Into effect and there
Is absolutely no reduction In the cost
of living. Tho economic doctors havo
treated symptoms and not tho real disease.
Monopoly can hold up the people as well
under free trado as under high tariff.
Jn spite of tho JUrolutlon of trusts, the
cost of their goods remains the same.
Competition in trade Is as effectually
suspended as when the trusts were in
flower. Tho "Gentlemen's Agreement" Is
ns effectual aa the formal trust, but abso
lutely Immune to the Sherman law. Mo
nopoly cannot be controlled by direct leg
islation. The organized trust may be
abolished, but the real trust remains, un
der the simple form of a "Gentlemen's
Agreement," which today controls and
will continue to do so till the consumers
organlio In their own defense as tho
laborers have done.
It Is Impossible to uncover a secret pact
and, worse still, such past is not morally
wrong. It two or more men agree to sell
goods at the same price, It Is nobody's
business, but their own, but that the
publlo should b obliged to patronise
them, Is a crime which the government
Is bound to prevent.
The parcels post killed express extortion
and tho interstate railroad commission
killed railroad extortion. Similar reme
dies must be applied to all othrr forms
ot extortion, before tho consumer can ex
pect substantial relief.
Tho simplest method ot killing extortion
would be to refuse to buy except at a
fixed and reasonable price, but the public
Is too groat and discordant u body to be
organized for that purpose. The govern
ment must either furnish the goods or
appoint a commission to fir the price.
In Switzerland, for many years the
government sold flour whenever tho deal
era ran up the price beyond a reasonable
rate. Several mayors have furnished fuel
and food for cities In the clutch of com'
bines, and tho si'me thing may be done
on a larger scale.
Why should We riot have a price food
as well as a pure food commission?
Why should we not have a manufactur
ers' and Importers- as well as a railroad
commission? It I he government has the
right to fix freight rates and fare, why
not tho right to fix the prices as well aa
ttut freight on the goods?
Tariff and monopoly legislation is no
remedy for high prices. Let us have
commissions on all lines ot Industry In
stead ot to. Give to these the power
to tlx price just to the consumers and
ts the producers, and let the courts stand
behind these commissions to see that jus
tlce Is done. Just as they now do with
the railway and pure food commissions.

War's Ravages in Mexico
Ruin of the Country from
Tampico to the Border.
THESE GIRLS OF OURS.
flavor BvPDwhcrf.
A correspondent of the New York Sun. who trav
eled overland from Tampico to tho Texas border, re
ports the country devastated by war. The extreme
northeastern portion of Mexico, he reports. Is In far
better condltln than Is the part where the federals
wero until recently In control, but waa has played
havoc with every farming nnd business enterprise.
Nowhere did I see things being produced and business
everywhere was either at a standstill or suffering
severely from the setback It received.
Around Tampico I found that many dead federals
were left where they had fallen. Their bodies days
after fighting were still unburled.
A close Investigation of both federal and rebel posi
tions as thoy were on "the date of tho battlo of Tam
pico shows that tho federals had heavier guns nnd
wero better fortified than were the rebels, so I can
account fo the evacuation of the place by the federals
only by the fact that they wero out of ammunition.
Had they received supplies early enough at Panuco
they neVcr would have been routed from that position.
It was splendidly fortified, located on a high, almost
Inaccessible ridgo nnd commanding territory on every
sle for miles around. Tho guns of tho federal artillery
ae for better than those of the rebels. They Include
many modern large field pieces of enormous power
and several of the latest typo French machine guns.
IlrbeJ Artillery Old.
I saw tho rebels loading thel rartlllcry on flat
cars to go to Tampico, and tholr field pieces were old
and In bad order, mostly of the late 6f 1K. Looking
down the barrels I saw they were pitted and rusty
ahd on two of them tho breech locks had been torn
away nnd substitutes of rough Iron fitted In their
places. Thoso field pieces that have been abandoned
by the federals aro of no use to tho rebels, as they
cannot get proper ammunition and projectiles.
From Tampico to Monterey and from Monterey to
Matamoras I rodo In open cars with rough wooden
seats roughly fitted into them. On all that long route
I met but three Americans, two of them between
Monterey and Matamoras. The other traveled with
mo from Tampico to Monterey, going there to give
aid to the rebel garrisons. He Is an expert gun ma
chinist, who formerly served In tho United States
field artillery.
It would be Impossible for hostile troops to come
Into that section from Monterey to Matamoras If the
rebels knew of tholr coming, for the only- route that ,
can be traversed lies along- smooth, level valleys be
tween two ranges ot steep hills, where kuvs could be
planted and troops placed In the most advantageous
position.
Everywhere around Monterey there Is still Intense
excltoment over the happenings of the last few weeks
and everywhero among tho poorer classes there Is
manifested Intense hatred of all English speaking
races. Many times I was taken for an American and
openly Insulted and abused. Twice I was temporarily
held prisoner and released only after showing' that 1
was a British subject. Once during- my trip I paid a
petty sum to a petty officer of tho rebels for my re
lease after his soldiers had dragged me to his tent.
This was at Monterey, but ordinarily fine order Is
maintained around all rebel camps.

Travelers Must Hnve Gold.
No matter who you are or which way you wish to
go In Mexico today or in what section you may hap
pen to be, there Is nothing but gold that can take you
and insure your safety. Wherever I wanted my bag
gage tansferred from one train to another or wanted
one of the rough seats In tho flat cars I had to bribe
liberally or pay some petty ratload or rebel official
tor the privilege of moving about.
While conditions are better further north toward
Matamoras, the scarcity ot food makes traveling even
moro expensive. The exchange rato on Mexican
money gets better all the way up, however, gradually
getting to where it is four pesos for a dollar, with 20
per cent additional on tho silver money of Mexico
and 15 per cent on tho currency of either rebels or
federals,. Around Monterey tho relvl nnd federal cur
rency are of exactly equal value. At Tampico the
federal currency 1 moro valuable than the rebel, and
at Matamoras tho opposite Is true.
I was stopped at Victoria, capital of Tamaulipas,
and held two days until I could establish my Identity
by tho credentials I carried an through an influential
British subject that I mot there.
In all sections the Mexicans take tho attitude that
America Is going to dictate to them how they shall
manage not o nly their business, but also their do
mestic affairs. They resent this more than the mere
fact that tho United States Is likely to take possession
of their land and establlshe over It a military pro
tectorate. Among tho higher classes sjid more Intelligent na
tives there ,1a a strong sentiment for Intervention.
They maintain that the trouble may apparently bo
settled, as It was when Madero gained the presidency,
but that It will never be definitely brought to an end
until this country takes it In charge and keeps charge
long enough to establish schools and give to the peons
at least a rudimentary education.
The fact that all the land of Mexico Is held by some
SoO families Is a significant feature, for those who are
not landholders are many millions more than tho
owners and naturally ara dissatisfied. Their poverty
and lack ot education has made bandits and an
achlsts of most of them. Hardships they have been
forced for years to endure on account of the land
owning class and have turned tholr minds back into
savage channels.
