Five weeks ago today the people- of Nebraska were startled by tho an nouncement that Joseph S. Hartley had been released from imprisonment In the state penitentiary. Iu response to the ipiestlon whether or not tho parole would be made permanent, Governor Savage gave the following statement for publication to a representative of The Hce: That depend entirely upon circumstances. I huvo Riven Hartley a sixty-day furlough, but whether that tltno will be extended re mains to be sfen. I have Imposed totno pretty hard requirements upon Hartley and I shall Impose some still harder ones, if ho does what I ask him to do I will let him out of tho penitentiary, but If he docs not, then he will have to go back. I don't caro to say Just now what these require ments will he. but I urn confident they will meet tho approval of tho pooplo of tho state. In Its Issue on the day following The Nee expressed itself editorially In these words: In taking this action Governor Savage has assumed a grave rssponslblltty. Joseph Hartley had been convicted of the willful betrayal of a sacred trust as custodian ut public funds constituted for the most part of tho patrimony of the children of this state. Ho was Dentcuced to twenty years of Imprisonment to make embezzlement not only odious, but unprofitable. Governor Savage Intimates that If tho ex- noting conditions Imposed on the paroled embezzler shall be fulfilled they will fully Justify his nctlon ami meet with the ap proval of tho tax-paying citizens of Ne braska. While Thu Uce has not been taken Into thu confidence of the Governor, It reads be tween tho lines that Joseph Hartley Is ex pected to effect the restitution of a con slderablo portion of tho funds that were lost to tho stato through his reckless financiering. Such a sequel to the Hartley scandal would doubtless tend In a great measure to counteract tho unfavorable pop ular sentiment evoked by the temporary liberation and ultimate pardna of Hartley. The people of Nebraska have been waiting patiently for tho disclosure of the reasons that prompted the libera tion of Hurtle., and tho conditions im posed by the governor. They have credited Governor Savage with good motives and sincerity of purpose, but they see no reason why he should de lay longer In taking them Into his con fidence. Iu calling on tho governor to speak out, Thu llee only voices the almost universal sentiment of all classes of our people and especially of the rank and tile of the republican party. VnOUuCATUtS OF VAllt.lA '1E.VT. The session of the ltrltlsh Parliament that came to an end yehterdny was for the speellle purpose of providing the government with money and little of Importance was done beyond this. Yet It was an Interesting session In some respects. The opposition to tho govern ment, although largely futile, was still enabled to administer some vigorous blows to the ministry and to draw out some facts not altogether creditable to the government. There were strong ar raignments of the South African policy, sharp criticisms of the course of the colonial secretary, Mr. Chamberlain, de nunciation of war olllce methods and no llttlu fault-finding with the llnanchtl program of the chancellor of thu ex chequer, but the government majority was so large that these attacks had little effect, the ministry only once or twice during the session fulling to get the full support of Its party. Tho comments of some of the London newspapers on the session nro rather severe, while tho leading llnanclal jour nal of Kngland, the Statist, expresses a very poor opinion of Sir Michael Hicks- Peach, chancellor of the exchequer, as a llnaucler. It charnctcrly.es him as a politician absolutely Ignorant of llnance, which Is perhaps not qui to just, though undoubtedly his management of the sit nation was not tho wisest, slneo Its tendency, as the Statist points out, was to create belief abroad that the re sources of Great Hiitalu have been ex aggerated. It H to bo considered, how ever, that the chancellor of the ex chequer had an exceedingly dllllcult problem to deal with. The so-called king's speech proroguing Parliament contains nothing of Interest. It Is an undeniable fact that a very largo majority of the people of Kngland support the South African policy of the government and there Is no doubt will do so to the end, even should It be neces sary to again luereaso taxation In order to entry out that policy. There Is a con siderable minority which Is In favor of concessions In tins luturest of peace, but none willing to give up a foot of the territory of the former South African republics. It Is Impossible to foresee how much longer tho war drain will continue, but however much It may be protracted there Is no doubt tho ICngllsh people will patiently bear it. Mean while Great Hritnln will be construineil to nsslduously cultivate friendly rela tions with other powers. LEAUUK UP AMRlllCAX MUSIC IV A L' IT IKS. Tho fifth annual convention of tho League of American .Municipalities will be held the last four days of this week at Jamestown, X. Y, It Is ex pected that this meeting of tho leagm will be of more than usual Interest, thu promise being that a larger number of municipal representatives will be pres ent than at previous conventions, while the addresses and dlscusMous arranged for are on a more comprehensive aeale. Thu Leaguo of American Municipalities was organized In ISO", on lines some what similar to those of the American Society of Municipal Improvements, or ganized In 1S01. Thu object of tho latter association was to promote ami disseminate knowledge regard ing tho best methods to be em ployed In the management of all munic ipal departments and tho construction of municipal works. The leaguo which will hold Its con- volition this week has grown more rap Idly than tho older ono and now has a membership of about 'J00 cities. Its object Is tho general improvement and facilitation of every branch of municipal administration, as Its const! tutlou sots forth, by tho perpetuation of tho organization as an agency for tho co-operatinn of American cities In the practical atudy of all questions pertain I ni vu iiiiiiiienuu uuiuiuiouuuuu, iuc holding of annual conventions for the discussion of contemporaneous mu nicipal affairs und the establishment and maintenance of a central bureau of Information for the collection, compila tion nnd dlsseinlnntlon of stntlstlcs, re ports and all kinds of information rela tive to municipal government. Munici palities alone are members of tho league, In this respect differing from the other organization, which admits olllclals and Individuals as members. "It will readily be seen," says the Philadelphia Inquirer, "that the central bureau of Information is n feature of great value; In fact, It Is the most Im portant part of the system. It furnishes without charge, to members, complete data on any required subject from all tho important cities of tho country. The municipal government In any onu city is thus enabled to profit by the experi ence of oilier cities and to compare any feature of Its own system with the working of a similar feature In one or more of thu other cities." Among the more prominent municipal representa tives at the coming convention will be Mayor Tom .Johnson of Cleveland and Mayor Jones of Toledo. UlUM STVAM TO KLUVTlllCtVY. The Chicago Great Western Hallway company contemplates the Installa tion of electric motor power for all Its suburban service within a radius of thirty miles of St. Paul. This new departure Is a forerunner of the evolu tion In suburban trallle and local rail way transportation. It means steam railroads for the long haul and elet'trlc railroads for tho short haul. Klectrlc suburban roads are being rapidly constructed In every section of thu country. Very recently an extensive system of suburban electric railroads, connecting Important trade centers In Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, have been consolidated under one management, to be absorbed sooner or later by the great railroads as a matter of self-preservation. There certainly can be no community of Interest between suburban electric roads and steam transportation Hues, but the electric roads are bound to divert a very largo proportion of thu trntllc now being carried by the steam lines, and the managers of the steam Hues will eventually see to It that they own, control and operate the electric lines as feeders. There Is a possibility If not a very decided probability that tho cheapen ing of electrical power will enable the great transcontinental lines to substi tute electrical power, generated In sta tionary power houses located from ten to twenty miles apart, for the steam propelled train of the present day. Tho wear and tear of tho locomotive con stitutes a large part of the wear and tear of the road, and thu costly locomo tive, after a few years of continuous service, has to be thrown Into thu scrap pile. Whenever the time comes that electrical energy can be extracted di rectly from coal tho steam-propelled railroad Is doomed and will become as much a thing of the past as tho stnge coach. The Irreprcsslblu evolution from steam to electricity cannot fall to be bene ficial to the patrons of tho railroads, who do not care what power Is em ployed or who operates the roads pro vided they enjoy superior accommoda tions, speedy and uninterrupted transit and reasonable trallle rates. They want as many suburban railways as can bo operated at a reasonable profit, and they prefer, too, that these roads should be In the hands of corporations that have ample means of providing all conven iences and Improvements rather than In the control of stilted corporations sail ing In balloons. To put It In a nutshell, tho American people always want thu best service and are willing to pay a reasonable price for that service. AMElllCAy IAUIIAIIV UIGIIKS. compilation of statistics showing tho gifts and bequests to American libraries during tho year ending July 1, 11)01, embodied In a report to the Ameri can Library association at Its recent meeting, will serve to opeu the eyes of the public to the Immense accretions of our library Institutions. While no claim Is made to exactness In tho llgures, owing to the defective means of secur ing the data, the grand total of gifts and bequests ranging from $500 nnd upward for a single year aggregates thu colossal sum of ?ltl,H)5,l''it), to say nothing of the girts of reading matter, Including 1M,-H'.i volumes and 110,851) pamphlets. The report, although cov ering only oni! year, Includes '!04 sepa rate gifts, distributed In thirty-nine of the states of the union. Naturally the greatest and most prollllc source of these library endow ments Is Andrew Carnegie, who has chosen this particular Held for his par ticular philanthropic activity. To Mr. Carnegie nro to bo credited gifts reach ing the enormous aggregate of iflt.'Jll), 500, over $10,000,000 of which Is for the erection of library buildings, coupled with the condition that the city or town recelvlug the benefit will furnish a site for thu building and appropriate yearly for tho maintenance of the library a sum equivalent to 10 per cent of thu gift. From this sum, however, thero hhould be deducted JfHUO.OOO which gocjs to Institutions In Canada and Scotland. More than 100 American libraries have been his benellclarles during the year. in the tabulation of statistics among tho different states, divided Into geo graphical divisions, It Is seen that, ex clusive of New York City and Its Carneglu donation of rf.VJOO.OOO for branch libraries, the great bulk of these library riches has been gathered In by the north and central states, Including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis cousin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kau sas, each one of which has come In for a share of the many gifts to library Institutions. It is significant that tills section, whoso population Is conceded the greatest percentage of literacy and intelligence, should also be foremost In developing public library resources. Tho library as n center of education diffusion finds Its chief support among educated people and the central west Is today the most artlve factor In the new library movement. It goes without snylng, too, that, while the old world has many a vast storehouso'of books, none of the European countries Is to be compared with the United States In bringing wholesome or Instructive read ing within reach of the people through the free public library system. iriMrsiM,1, v; do 11727 oun itoist A quarter of a century ago tho late Artomus Ward, prince of American humorists. Improvised a lecture entitled "What Shall Wo Do with Our Girls?" While thu lecture did not contain the remotest reference to girls, the title was suggestive nnd directed popular atten tion to one of the problems of the day. Tho dawn of the twentieth century forces to tho forefront the question, What shall we do for our boys under the changed conditions created by the Industrial revolution? Tho demand for higher education, fos tered by the founding and enlargement of universities and colleges endowed by multl-mlllloiiaires with almost limitless Incomes, has caused the overcrowding of tho professions by young men who enter the professional world equipped with unmarketable knowledge and spoiled for hard work by association with other young men whose wealth en ables them to Indulge In habits uusulted to thosu having limited Incomes. Hvery year thu American universities and colleges graduate many thousands of Incipient doctors, lawyers, preachers and men of letters out of all proportion In number to the demand In thu pro fessional Held. Thousands of these highly educated young men find them selves compelled to struggle along In their chosen professions from year to year In order to gain a bam subsistence. Many thousands of these young men are spoiled for common every-day work In the Held and factory and are Incom petent for ellielent service as salesmen, bookkeepers and clerks In the store or business olllce. In the contest with other bread winners they rank at the bottom of tho scale, because their best years have been given to mental cul ture when they would have been more profitably employed In acquiring the deftness of tho skilled mechanic or business tnct of the merchant or com mercial traveler. Tiie average earnings of professional men In American cities are far below the earnings of skilled mechanics In our factories and in lis and In the building trades. The highest Incomes In Amer ica today are paid to men who gradu ated from the workshop rather than from the college. Among this class are the general managers of railroads, the presidents of locomotive works and tho heads of great manufacturing concerns, whose success depends upon executive ability nnd thorough knowledge of de tail rather than a profound knowledge of Latin, Greek or philosophy. The lesson taught by experience Is that the most desirable education for thu grent majority of the boys of the twentieth century Is that which will Impart to them mechanical skill rather than that which will lit them for a pro fessional or literary career. Next to the mechanical training perhaps the most promising and most profitable Held for tho boys Is to be found In an education In applied science that develops our great mechanical and electrical en gineers and chemists. The most successful men In America today are the self-made men whose ca reers were begun In the workshop and In the section house and whose educa tion was acquired by contact with men of brains aud the constant friction of the current affairs of every-day life. These conditions arc not pointed out as an argument against higher education, but rather to ludlcatu tho dangerous tendency to overcrowd tho professions. Canadian census statistics recently Is sued arc interesting and Instructive, es pecially when comparison Is made with tho United States. Tho vast country stretching beyond the Arctic circle from the entire northern boundary of this country contains n,:i:i8,S3lt people, or less than thu single stato of New York and but little more than Iown and Ne braska. Vast stretches of tho country are capable of sustaining only a meager population, but Camilla proper, Mani toba and all the southern portion of (ho Dominion am capable of great agricul tural and Industrial development. The government Is liberal and the only ap parent reason that It has failed to keep pace with the new portions of this coun try Is that the peoplu as a whole do not possess the push which characterizes those of the great west on this side of the Hue. Fight constitutional amendments arc to he submitted to the voters of the state of Missouri Iu November, lOOl, the most Important being that relating to the Investment of the permanent school fund. The constitution of Nebraska Is In greater need of amendment thnn tho constitution of Missouri, especially In thu matter of tho Investment of the per manent school fund. Tho question is: Will Nebraska emulate the example of Missouri and other states that have gone to the expense Involved In special ses sions of the legislature In order to be able to secure tho submission of consti tutional amendments at thu general election next year? The murderous Kurds arc again re ported to be engaged In their favorite pastime of murdering Armenians. Mom people have been killed in cold blood and greater ntrocttles two to one com mitted In the dominion of tho Turk than In China. Political considerations de ter Kuropeau countries from forcibly Interfering to prevent these outrages, while In China F.urope saw a chance to gain through Interference. Interna tional conscience, In tho language of a former Kansas Ktatesinan, Is usually an "Iridescent dream." A handsome Cincinnati girl hns made her debut In the dramatic world by suing a firm of New York corset manu facturers for publishing her photograph. This Is an Ingenious scheme by which she catches them coming aud going, First she has been advertised free of expense by the corset makers and by bringing her damage suit she gets an additional amount of free advertising from tho press. This young woman evi dently understands the fundamental principles of success Iu the theatrical business. Archbishop Ireland expresses the opin ion that public sentiment Is the factor which must eventually lend to the set tlement of all strike troubles: "When the conviction of the mass of intelligent American citizens will bo such a strong Influence that the party which Is In the wrong, whether capitalist or laborer, will have to be governed by It." Hut who Is to decide which party Is In thu wrong? Public sentiment Is emotional and fickle. The voice of the people Is not always the voice of God. Iowa democrats are busy these days telling Goto Sells what a nice fellow he Is and what an excellent run he would make as a candidate for governor. Cato has heard that song before, but has always refused to bo charmed by it. Ho knows from past observation that democratic chances of election In Iowa am designated by a minus sign and It will require a strong talk to Induce him to butt up against the republican stone wall. Kvldence accumulates day by day that tho business activity In this country is of a substantial character, with but little artlltelal stimulation. Were It not the result of sound conditions the present great labor disturbances would mean stagnation and collapse. Nothing but sound conditions could keep up trade activity with the great steel strike In the east and the strike in the San Fran cisco shipping industry. The managers of the democratic party In tliis state are perfectly willing to run the party without asking tho advice of the rank and tile, but they am more than willing to have some resourceful contributor como forward with a plan which will produce the revenue neces sary to carry It on the managers will cheerfully attend to spending it. .lie rely it Hint.

Mr. Albert F. Foos of Taswell, Ind , has deemed It necessary to cause tho arrest of six girls for kissing him on tho street. For this ho Is sure to bo censured, es pecially as tho assault Is said to havo boon provoked by his claim that he had never been kissed. This naturally increased tho desire of the girls to give him an Idea of what ho had been missing. They did not Imagine however, of course, that ho would seek tho protection of tho law against thoso advances, Still, It U pertinent to Inquire what a young man Is to do when his attractions nru such that tho fair sex Insist on kiss ing him without waiting for his consent. Let him tako what course ho may he U pretty sure to come In for more or loss blame. Thero was Richard I'carsnn Hob son of tho United States navy, whom tho ladles mado tho object ot a similar as sault. Hobson was no hypocrite. He did not protend that ho did not like It. Ho was far from asserting at the beginning that ho had never been Hissed, nnd, of course, It was Impossible for him to do so afterwards. Ho did not nsk for pro tection from courts or tho pollco, yet the osculntory advances Increased In frequency and warmth. Then public opinion asserted Itself und ho begin to bo denounced from overy quarter. Much of tho reputation which ho had gained by gallantry In war was lost by his gallantry In peace. Soon nfterwards ho was sent out of the coun try, whethor for his own protection or ns 11 punishment, docs not appear. Thus the man whom tho ladles wish to kiss, nolens volens, Is confronted with a dnubln peril. He will be condemned If he submits and blamed If he appeals to tho law for protection.

Thero Is discontent with the colonel, and la some places Indications that he must go. Tho movement has atnrtod lu Virginia, where the colonel's picturesque figure has added to tho summer attractions, and In Its westwnrd sweep the movement may strike Georgia, where the colonel Is 11 crea ture of courtesy as well as of guberna torial appolntmunt. It was Iu Kurt oik that the society for tho suppression of spurious tlttes had Its birth, and from tho resolutions adopted, there Is zeal la tho air. "Dcllevlng," says the nrtlcle of agreement, "that tho Indis criminate bestowal of titles, regardless of tho recipient's real claim to tho distinc tion suggested by the appellation, Is being carried much too fur in this and other communities, this socloty is organized with 11 vlow to tho elimination of such titles except In cases where tho persons so ml dressed can prove a bona fide right to have hlo name prefixed by a word suggesting dis tinction. Wo believe Hint tho miscella neous application of spurious titles Is de grading to thoso worthy of bucIi honors 'and cheapens the value of such distinctions, which should be bestowed only upon thoso whoso sTvlce, accomplishments or attain ments have Justified fame's notice. Seem ingly all privates were killed In tho civil wnr, and there aro left few olllrers with a lower rank than colonel. This society presumes that all persons should bo nil dressed as plain 'Mr.' unless thu contrary bo shown." A court of Inquiry, composed of the mayor of tho town and several leading citizens, has btcn organized, before which all claimants for titles must prove their right to them. Tho court will most likely be well armed for certain contingencies. Tho Georgia colonel Is a very independ ent person, however, nnd he Is not likely to make tho same tame submission with his Virginia brother. ;iti:i: 01, n .win ami Fi.owuits.

She has dono nothing to warrant her husband In putting her away.
