We need more religion.” There is a world of truth in that statement of Vice President Calvin W. Coolidge at the commence ment of Wheaton college, in New England. Educa tion, he told these girls, should contribute to a bet ter art of living. It is a fact not to be denied that if mankind were thoroughly cultured and perfectly religious there would be no need for supplementing the laws of nature with artificial legislation. *It sometimes seems that the more we strive to protect the human race by legal enactments, the weaker morally it becomes. Since the rise of new evils calls for the promulga tion of new laws, the world appears to be caught in a net of its own making. Reference to other baccalaureate addresses of the last few weeks demonstrates a striking agreement on the need for preserving individual freedom, not to permit or sanction wrongdoing or anti-social prac tices, but to put the race on its honor, as it were. Instead of assuming, as is now done, that people are naturally imbued with the instinct of sneaks, the intellect of morons and the habits of Barbary pirates, why not give the race the benefit of the doubt? President Gray of Bates college has expressed the opinion that this country is fast approaching the saturation point in the matter of government. Presi dent Sills of Bowdoin contended before his graduates that when the state takes over too many functions of the individual “the moral fiber of the nation is weakened.” There are, after all, two extremes of government between which peoples swing hack and forth. At one end is socialism, under which the government con trols almost everything. At the other is anarchism, under which there would be no government at all and each individual would live as he saw fit, the assump tion of anarchists being that, with the restraints of law cast off, the normal wholesome instincts of hu manity would be more freely exercised. Though the vice president of the United States has said that w'e need culture rather than govern ment and religion rather than law, yet he fo not to be understood as preaching philosophic anarchy. What he mean* is that the drift toward the other extreme, that of socialism, has gone far enough, or too far. SIX GENERATIONS. Just *s Tennyson told Clara Vere de Vere, “the gardener Adam and his wife smile at our claims of long descent,” just so Methusaleh may look down with amused tolerance on E. E. Horner of Otoe, Neb., who is dandling a great-great-grandchild, and looking forward to welcoming a representative of the sixth generation. No good reason why he should not realize his ambition, for he is only 95, and may as well live thirty years longer as not. He is a Civil war vet eran, and spent the first sixty-five years of his young manhood in Ohio, coming to Nebraska when his ma turity came over him. This good old patriarch has something to be proud of indeed that is not given to many men. Most feel justified pride in their grandchildren, seeing in the third generation the promise that the seed will not die out, and that the race will continue to thrive and possibly improve when grandpa has been gathered to his fathers. Each man hopes to leave posterity; it is his great est contribution to society, that of children well trained and fitted to take up the duties and respon sibilities of citizenship. And in the children, of his children he finds the fruition of his hopes. When he live3 to see the children of his children's children, and then again to the fifth generation, he is blessed beyond the average of mankind. Mental as well as bodily vigor counts tn this, and the promise of the strain is good for the com munity. Patriarchs of old reckoned their posses sions by their children and- their flocks, and they were blessed as they could count upon progeny. No promise given to man by the Almighty is more often referred to than the one he gave Abraham with respect to his descendants, and while Ameri cans do not waste much time in pursuit of geneaology, the immediate presence of a great-great-grandchild is a comfort not to be denied. THE DAYS NOW SHORTEN. And now the sun is on his way hack to the north, having for a little day shone directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. For the next six months the earth will slowly incline on its equatorial axis, until the position of today will be exactly reversed. June 22 was the longest day of this year, that is, the day of most daylight, as December 21 is the shortest. About lour hours of daylight mark the difference between these days, the sun rising earlier and setting later in June. ' N This swing of the earth back and forth makes the difference in the seasons,, and gives the temperate zones the pleasures that are enjoyed so much. Spring, summer, autumn and winter come in order because the earth moves as it was designed to from the be ginning. Science deals with strange phenomena of cycles or times of various sorts durations; periods of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, in the course of which the motion of the earth mny be changed in such ways as to affect the seasons. -Once, it is asserted, the polar regions had much the same climate as the tropics, because the earth was nearly if not exactly vertical on its axis, and the light and heat of the sun was equally distributed and enjoyed by all. Let that alone. No living man ever saw it, nor need the average man give himself any concern about the changes that are taking place on an astronomical scale. The equinox will come in March and Septem ber, the solstice in June and December, and these will continue to mark the seasons just as they have for many, many years. If the enrth should suddenly change its ordered swing, probably none of us would live to talk about It. If the motion is altered through the long procession of the years, those who live will adjust themselves to the change. And that’s that. 0 HERE, WHERE THE WEST BEGINS. It is so easy to sense the spirit of the west, and so difficult to express it. A poet now and then rises to interpret the traditions born of our pioneers and which, though we know it not, still mold our lives and thoughts. There are pageants that combine music, verse and dancing into the sum of our past and present. But always it must be done through the subtlety of art, for it is a matter for feeling rather than boasting. No one could understand Nebraska through read ing the * statistics of its agricultural production or through listening to the banal flights of its politicians. The thing is too deep for that and too full of life to be expressed in dead figures. A Nebraskan in Paris, oppressed perhaps by the stagnation of the old world, writes home to say that Nebraska is destined to be, some day, one of the centers from which ideas will flow. We do not need to import anything, he asserts, unless it be artistic self-confidence. , To that might be added a greater degree of self realization. The suggestion of Augustus W. Dun bier, himself an artist of note, that Omaha ask Gutzon Borglum to express in enduring and eloquent marble some phase of this great plains country, pro ducing a piece of sculpture for one of our parks, ex actly fits the need. Dunbier has done something of this sort for Kansas City, and his statue of “The Scout” tops the crest of Penn Valley park there to day, at once an inspiration and a keynote for the middlewest. Denver, too, has its groups of sculpture, but Omaha has no piece of original work of this sort. No city of this size in Europe knows such a barrel} condition. It would not require much for Omaha to take the lead among American cities. It is as Edwin H. Blashfleld, president of the National Academy of Design, has said of the nation’s largest city: "New York—enterprising, rich, prosperous, gener ous, ami proud, as she should be, of her greatness— is yet far behind not only Paris and London, but even tiny provincial towns of France, Italy, Ger many, in the possession of art. . . .The common w^hlths of Athens, Florence, Venice, the free burgs of Germany, the great trading towns of Flanders, the cities which have passed through a period of natural evolution in art, considered art a national glory, and used it both as a means and as an end in a truly democratic spirit, 'pro bono publico.’ "They believed that certain benefits arose from the cultivation of beauty, that the pleasures of private life, the dignity of public life, were increased by the aid of the arts. . . .Now to whom did the cities of the past owe this public decoration? Was it only to kings, and emperors, and grand dukes, whom we in America have not? No. Athens. Florence. Venice, Brtiges, Nuremberg, were given their art by the very men whom we have with us today— the magistrates, the merchants, the artisans." What civic body, or what set of private In dividuals will sponsor a movement to give Omaha a start toward the distinctive artistic expression that wells up so naturally in all parts of the world but our own? BANISHED SEATS OF POLITICS. Shades of forty years of Nebraska's great and near-great, those who have answered the final roll call and those who still remain with us, were sadly perturbed by the news that comes out from Lincoln. It is that an edict has gone forth banishing the chairs frpm in front of the Lindell hotel. Not despot so ruthless as the petty tyrant whose little command of authority gives him opportunity to assail the comfort of those who fall under his power! That row of extra chairs has stood for so long that the memory of none runneth to the con trary. Not so many years after Lincoln had come up from the virgin prairie to be the seat of political power and the foundation of intellectual life for Nebraska, the Lindell hotel came to be the meeting place of the leaders and their cohorts. “Uncle Jakie” Imhoff and Ed P. Roggen made the old Commercial one of the famous spots, and even after "Bud” Lindsey took it over some of its glory clung. The Lincoln drew its share of popular ity, but never did these approach the place of the Lindell, particularly during the days when “Steve” Hoover was running that hostelry. Much might be told of gatherings beneath its roof, of banquets and quiet little dinners; of Sunday afternoons and eve nings, passed in the quietude of comfortable rooms, where congenial souls communed and drew from life its sweetest quality, but this has to do with the chairs on the sidewalk. Out in front, under the shade of the majestic trees, those big-armed, deep-seated invitations to rest and conversation gave to the weary something that nothing else afforded. Here gathered the visi tors to the capital, when their errand was done and the next train out was not yet due, and in commit tee of the whole they discussed and cussed the gov ernment, the party, its leaders and its opposition. Here plans were laid and plots were hatched; stories told and friendships cemented. Here the governor and the senators halted to chat with friends, time honored veterans renewed their youth in remi niscence, and all affairs of state and nation received consideration. No problem too deep, no issue too trivial, all got attention, and none was left over when the committee rose. And now this is all to be brought to an end, because the police commissioner of Lincoln so wills. Very well, but, if he had had the real good of the public at heart, he would have abated that low joint in the street car track nnd fixed it so guests could get their beauty sleep in the cool of a summer's morning. Governor Hardwick of Georgia, who has author ized military control in n town whore a lynching was threatened, has taken the.right action. If people can’t control thepiselves, then the state will have to do it for them. Iowa's fame does not rest alone on its corn. Many of the exhibits at the American Peony society's meeting in St. Paul came from that state. Miss I.uretta Cook of Clinton wss one of the amateur con testants. Count Boni de Castellane, divorced husband of Anna Gould, is in bad with France through having sold his friends worthless oil atnrks. And yet It was believed that he never could he Americanized. Walter Hagen, the American golf star who ar cuses the British of showing poor sportsmanship would set them a better example if he maintained silence about his treatment, at the Troon tournament. Amherst only dismissed a prresident, but is get ting quite as much attention as if she hnd turned out an athletic champion of some kind. President Harding will need no front porch on his visit to Alaska. Those British liners, so to speak, were half seas over. Out of Today's Sermons Rev. Albert Kuhn, pastor of Bethany Presbyterian church, will preach Sunday morning on the subject, "Parents and Children.’’ i lie will say: No task that falls to the common lot of men and women is as important and as sacred as that of raising their children to be good men and women. One of the Itrst essentials to achieve this task is that the parents should have a strong consciousness of their duty in this respect. You must not let yourselves become so engrossed In your housekeeping tasks or your busi ness affairs that tile attention which you give your children becomes there by less keen. My heart goes out to the children of fathers and mothers who have to work at such hours In daytime or at night Which make it im possible for them too keep their eye on their little flock after they come home from school. There ought to be some provision made in our public school system which would make it possible for mothers who have to work all day to support their family to I- iv» 'heir minor children in charge of public school teachers who could .... .vi ik and play for them for the hours from 3 to 6 in the afternoon. Another essential of good home training is the recognition of the fret that the chief factor in a good educa tion Is the training of the conscience If a man's conscience is dwarfed or blunted he Is a plague epot in society, no matter what his other accomplish ments may be. A crooked genius and a crooked fool have little to choose between. Now the foundation of con science is religion. The consciusness of God is the strongest lever of mor ality. Because of this fact a faithful parent will do all he can to arouse faith In God In his children. He can do that only by himself practicing that faith. A parent who preaches to his children what he does not practice breeds in them a hypocrisy and for malism which kills the spiritual devel. opment of the child. There Is one more essential that I would like to emphasize. It Is the in sistence on respect on the part 61 the children toward the parents. In how many homes the children are allowed to bully father or mother, or both. This is generally the case where the parents have been slovenly in the in sistence of respect and immediate obedience on the part of the children while these were still below school age. Where this insolence has once taken root, It Is. like a noxious weed, almost impossible to be pulled out of the life of the family; It chokes the tender flowers at love, kindness and peace. Parents, make your little ones mind; If you don't, you are brewing yourself a lot of grief." Rev. C. A. Nrgerstrom, pastor of First Swedish Baptist church, will preach this muring on the topic, "A Church Without LightT” He w ill say: Heading the first seven verses of the second chapter of Revelations con taining the letter to the church in Ephesus, we are at first happy to dis cover the tribute given to that church, hut in the fourth verse we come to the word "nevertheless," which at once raises a question as to the spiritual condition of that church The ques tion is—what is wrong? Is not ttiis a church with works, labor, patience, hat ing evil,-disciplining liars and doing all this without fainting, for Christ's sake, a real church without fault? In all these merits one fundamental was sadly lacking—love. That was enough to bring this church to shame and plunge it Into spiritual darkness. A stern warning is heard: "Remem her therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee I quickly and will remove thy candle stlcka out of His place, except thou repent.” (Verse 6.) What is a church without light? It is a machinery, but dead and useless for Jesus. It is left In darkness. I.ike s ship without compass or guide, it will be crushed on the rocks on the stormy sea of life. Take heed. chur< h of today! You are watched by Him "Who walketh In the midst of the seven golden candle sticks." You will stand with His In timate presence, you will fall with His absence. Woe to you, therefore, who dare to deny His power os Ood and Savior. You may pride yourself of ■"doing.” ns the church of Ephesus All activities you depend upon as pleasing to Him are possibly the very things that blinds you with a false security., Following are excerpt* of ser mon delivered at Cross Lutheran ’ "rrh today by Titus Lang, pas. tor: < . synod. the Evangelical Lutheran synod of Missouri, Ohio and other •'tntes. is in th*se days meeting In synodical convention In the city of Fort Wayne.

W »| QUIVFY, j (Seal) Notary Public 1 The War of Silver and Gold Death of Peter Jensen Recalls Story of His Valiant Course j at St. Louis Convention. , _________ EVERY strong man gets a chance some time in his life to show the quality of his metal. Such a chance came to Peter Jansen at the St. Louis convention in lead, when William McKinleey was nominated for president by the republicans. The late Nebraska statesman, who recently died at his home in Jefferson county, was highly regarded for his unusual qualifications, but for none more than his steadfastness of pur pose. His services were many and varied, and some attracted much at tention from the public, such as his missions to Manitoba, where he was called by the Canadian government to quiet the Doukhobors, that strange sect, when they started on one of their peculiar demonstrations. As a member of the Nebraska legislature his character was tested, but nothing he ever did marked him a courageous and far-seeing man as (lid his vote In the St. Louis convention, when, as member for Nebraska of the resolu tions committee of the convention he voted to put the gold standard plank In the platform, and set the republican candidate squarely before the world as the champion of that standard. It required courage for a Nebraska man to vote for the gold standard at that time. Republicans In Nebraska were divided on the Issue, and many of those who did not openly favor the Bryan 16-to-l standard at least were openly advocating a compromise which would continue “bi metallism." All around the state were the open advocates of free ailver—Kansas, Colorado, South Dakota, while Iowa stood for the double standard. To get the right perspective. It mav be necessary to review the political his tory of our state of the period, to show how matters stood. When N'fbAtka Wan A Political Cockpit. Nebraska was a real national po litical battleground In 1896 tor the first time in its history. Prior to that year the state was reckoned upon as certain to give its electoral vote to the republican candidate for president. In 1890 the Farmers 'alliance move ment had cut deeply enough Into the i ld party linen to elect a legislature dominated by the so-called populists, and the prohibition issue had resulted in the election of James E. Boyd, first democrat to be chosen governor of Nebraska. Plenty of reason exists for the assertion frequently made that, had the votes been honestly counted. "Honest John" Powers, the populist candidate, had been elected and counted out. In 1892 Nebraska returned to Its moorings, gave 35,000 for Beniamin Harrison for president, and elected Lorenzo Crounse, republican, for gov ernor, thus restoring the republican succession. In 1594, on purely state issues. Silas A. Holcomb, nominated by the populists and endorsed by the Bryan w-ing of the democratic party, was elected governor. Debate over the monetary standard began back in 1593. when Grover Cleveland returned as president of the United States. Mr. Bryan split with the president on the point, and was cruelly snubbed In the democratic state convention that year, the body being dominated by Cleveland gold democrats under the leadership of J Sterling Morton. He had his revenge the following year, when he presided over the democratic convention that met in Omaha and endorsed the nomi nee fop governor of the populists Each day the debate over money was growing warmer. Mr. Bryan re turned from congress to become edi tor of Senator Hitchcock's paper, and made that as rampant for free silver as It ever has been for the gold stand ard since. "Coin" Harvey came to lecture In Nebraska, and the silver men gained many followers. One of the well remembered episodes of the day was fhe jottlt debate between Ed ward Hosew-ater and W. J! Bryan on the money question. When It came to naming delegates to the St, Louis convention, the re publicans found that the party con tained many adherents of the double standard, who were later to form the "free silver republican" party, and cut considerable figure at the polls. The then editor of The Omaha Bee was not in the best standing with the reptth llcan party, because of having bolted the party's nominee for goa-ernor in 1594, but he was strong for McKinley an l the g< M standard and on April n 1*96, n few davs before the state convention met In Omaha to select delegates to the St Louis convention, concluded an editorial with these words: "The republican party must de Clare itself squnrelv against free and unlimited coinage at any ratio that would leave any material margin between the face value of the dollar and Its bullion value. If w-e are to have credit monev. we Plight as well coin dimes Into dn|. lars and take our chance on the ability of the government to keep, them at par " On April 16. 1596. the republican convention met at Omaha, and hv «c clamatlon named John I. Webster of Omaha Thomas P Kennard of Ljn coin, Piter Jansen of Jansen and George H Thummell of Grand Island as delegates.at large from Nebraska to the national convention at "St. Louts A set of resolutions was adopted pleih'lnc the delegates from Nebraska to v..le fit William McKinley of Ohio for president, "first, last snd all the time." and to vote against a free coin age of silver plank in tlje national platform. \ Rift Wltliln The Republican Hanks. W. J. Connell of Omaha, offered as a substitute for the latter a resolution endorsing free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, which was signed by himself and 450 other republicans This resolution was laid on the table by an overwhelming vote. During the sixty davs that inter vened between the convention In Omaha and the nomination of McKin ley at St. Louie, the- free silver men doubled and redoubled their efforts. They contended that, despite the In structions of the convention, Nebras ka delegates would be warranted in disregarding that action and throwing their fortunes In with the silver advo cates. When the convention assem bled at St. Louis Nebraskans were at the very forefront of one of the most memorable party battles of American history. Peter Jansen, as the mem ber of the delegation representing Ne braska on the committee on resolu tions, became the storm center. He declared himself unequivocally for the gold standard, and for a straight out declaration in the platform To main tain this position fie was required to sustain great pressure from within and without the delegation. John M. Thurston, who was then senator from Nebraska and national committeeman for the state, and was called upon to preside as permanent chairman over the St. Louis conven tion. openly favored a compromise on the silver issue. Several others from Nebraska sided wlih Mr. Thurston, while such men as Foraker of Ohio, Henderson and Hepburn of Iowa. Teller of Colorado, and others who stood high In the councils of the party, put-In their best licks to secure a plank that would straddle the mone tary issue. Several of the district delegates from Nebraska came out openely for the compromise as sug gested by Senator Thurston. Silver men soon found that the convention would not adopt the free silver plank and devoted their efforts to secure a "bimetallic" plank. No platform commit’pe ever was so he sieged as the one that met at St. Louis on the first dav of the convention in June. 1£95. Dispatches published in The OmahS Dee at that time and signed bv Edward Rose watt r all re cord P-’ter Jansen as standing firm for the gold standard, and when the vote in the committee finally was taken It was Jansen's stand that saved the day and won the straight, clear declaration of the party for sound money that brought victory to tv>e oartv In the nation and elevated Wil liam McKinley to the presidency. And Nebraska Voted For Free Silver. Mr Jansen's part In the proceed ings brought him many letters and telegrams of congratulation, not only from Nebraskans, who were keenly Interested In the part their state was playing in the great drama then being enacted on the political stage, but from notable men throughout the country. One of these was written fn 1912 by H. II. Kohlsaat. the Ch: cago editor and publisher, who was such a ch se personal friend of Me Kinlev.
