When the pay stops on the sixtieth legislative day, our law-makers will not be so eager to work overtime. We are beginning, to fuel for the reputation of Rev. Irl I,.

At any rate, Ouaha manages to entertain convention delegates In such 1 way that they are profuse in their thanks for hospitality, and ready to return for future gatherings. Of course, If Mr. Bryan had ouly beard from ex-Governor Shallenberger and"Cbrls"Gruenthr, he would never bare come Out for the initiative and referendum feature of the ArUona constitution. Colonel Hoobevelt is glad also to see the coiurulssloa form of govern ment tried ot at Birmingham as an experiment. Most people like to have the other fellow foot the tuition bills U the school of experience. Workmen's Compensation. A bill has been introduced into the Nebraska legislature to provide for the compensation of employes for in juries sustained by Industrial acci dents. This bill, wlili h is pies' iitcd through Jtcpiesvntative Kvans. baa been adapted from a formulation by several organizations, repreHentlng "both employers and employed, In con Junction with the National Civic Fed eration, whose department of indus trial conciliation was until recently under the direction of John Mitchell, and represents the views of those who have studied the subject most thor oughly. This measure, or measures of sim ilar content, Im pending In other states besides Nebraska, snd It Is only a question of what states shall take the lead In thla far-reaclilng reform. The New York legislature last year en acted a workmens compensation law covering mrt of the field, but no one can doubt that the subject Ih claiming steadily Increasing attention, and that some method of caring for the victims of Industrial accidents muRt take tho place of the exltttlng system of casu alty Insurance, which means either inadequate compensation or a costly lawsuit by which the Injured work men either gels nothing or divides what he docs got with the lawyers. The problem, perhsps, does not press upon Nebraska as an agricul tural state quite so forcibly as it does tilon other states, but for that very reason Nebraska Is in better position to Join with the pioneers in this pro gressive movement. Exceptional Distinction. In his annual report aa president of Columbia university, Ur. Nicholas Murray Lutler laments tho lops of men of exceptional ability and distinction In the field of science, arts and letters, and auks tho question, Where are to be found fit successors to the gen eration that la now passing of the stage? He seems to thlnhvtnat the universities suffering In this way are at particular disadvantage. "Their rapid growth and multiplication," he declares, "has nocessarlly drawn Into their service men of every typo and kind, and of these mediocrity has claimed Its full share. One main dif ficulty In each of the higher institu tions of learning in the world today la militant mediocrity. Distinction Is to bo sought for at whatever cost, and strong guiding personality cannot be too aumerous." But the colleges and universities really occupy no different position in this respect than the realms of trade and industry, the professions and politics. Men of distinction, towering above their fellows, arc rare every where', and the question is constantly propounded, where are to be found tho successors of those who have at tained eminence and are then called away? Yet somehow each generation seema to produce and develop Ha men of exceptional ability in precisely tho place where they are most needed, and where they can do tho most good. Thla is tho Inevitable march of progress which brings forth now leaders to servo as captains and head the column In humanity's forward march. So we believe the universities need not despair for scholars to supplant those eminent men of science and letters In whoRe lustre they have shon. Militant mediocrity It Is true, may bo found everywhere, but only to make exceptional distinction stand out in greater contrast. The Bojey of Polygamy. Former United States Senator Frank J. Cannon, son of a one-time leader of the Mormon church, and sev eral other magazine writers, are warn ing the people against what they are ploased to term a revival of strength among the followers of Brlgham Young. They contend that polygamy has been restored, that 800 polyga mous marriages have been contracted and the Mormon church has not ob jected. Tho picture of Mormon ag gression Is quite menacing. One writer sees them dominating the po litical affairs of six states and fears for tho nation. The picture strikes us as overdrawn. In the last election in Utah, the home and headquarters of Mormonism. the Amerlcanv party achieved an over whelming victory. Long ago thla gov ernment placed an embargo upon pobgamy. That violations of the law should occur la to be deplored, but not wondered at They probably never entirely ceased. We have difficulty in this country enforcing other laws. The fact Is polygamy as an institution of church or state has been overthrown. If Mormons should resume openly the practice of thla custom which our laws forbid our laws will find a way to atop tbem. Hut one writer aays, whereas fifty years ago there were only TOO Mor mons In this lountry. today there are 700.000. That may be true, and still be a poor showing. Proportionately, with all other stupendous growth and progress in the United States, the Mormons had to make gains to avoid falling benlud the procession. When we consider the vast resources they have had in their ceaseless effort to propagate their faith, these results are certainly nothing to become alarmed over. Not only have the Mormons lost ground politically in their own state as they call Utah- but there haa been a steady and strong Intlua of other denominations, which are building up powerful centers 0f education. While this Is going on in the rery heart of Mormonlsm. It does not seem possible that Mormonlsm, because It Is mskifig a staunch fight for Its fundamental principles, need be considered a serious menace to the country. Success of Poital Savings. Attention has already been called to the fact that the first month of our experimental postal savings banka furnishes a creditable showing for the system. But a point that deserves emphasis is that the money placed In the so new banks has not been taken from older depositories. In other words, the deposits In the savings banks represent that much new sav- ings. That goes to answer one of the questions raised by thoso who ob jected to the experiment. They feared, or contended, that If the new system prospeted It might be at the expense of other Institutions. Of course, the argument does not seem strong enough to alarm, and now we find that it is not. taking the first month's ex perience as ft test of the tendency. Forty-eight of these savings banks were created by the government to start the system and their average de posits for January were $1,2 SO per bank. The February report Is ex pected to show a consistent Incressc. So that the government feels quite well repaid for Its venture and the postmaster general Is now arranging the details to extend the system by means of tho $500,000 appropriation granted by congress for that purpose. A greRt many factors enter Into con sideration In determining this exten sion, as of course, casual thought would suggest. The Important fact has, however, been established that postal savings Is feasible In the United States. Of course, as to Its feasibility under favorable conditions there was never any doubt, since It had long ago been demonstrated In European and other countries. It Is to the credit of many Of those who vigorously opposed the Idea at first that they are so ready to withdraw their objection and judge the innovation on Its merits. In Min nesota the State Bankers" association has gone so far as to have introduced In th-j legislature a bill making It easier to institute savings banks In that state aa a meana of competing with the postal savings banks. One view of thla might suggest harmfut opposi tion, or unfriendly competlllon, but the broadest view, we think, does not. It shows that tho conservative bank ers concede the success and perma nence of the plan, and when they create other savings banka the general effect will be simply to promote the welfare of all such Institutions by en couraging the habit of saving among the people. Thoroughness. This is an ago of specialists. In most lines of art, science and industry energies are confined to single chan nels, and it la conducive, of course, to tremendous eftlclency in tho aggre gate. But specializing should not and does not contemplate any lack of thor oughness. It levies no embargo against a complete mastery ' of every part and department of a business or profession, but encourages It, and the man who possesses that has a great advantage over the one who docs not. A friend once said to J. Plerpont Morgan: "Mr. Morgan, they tell me that you can do the work of anybody in your office better than he can, him self." "Oh, I don't know about better, but what I do know is that I can sit down at the desk of any clerk in my estab lishment and take up his work where he loft off and go ahead with it." And after a moment's reflection the great financier added: "I don't like being at the advantage of any man. While few persons may hope to be prodigies like Mr. Morgan, all may gain the advantage that comes from thoroughness. Great emphasis needs ! to be laid on this in the school room, the first training place of the boy and girl for life's activities. It should take the place of the tendency to skim over and get a smattering of the les son, w hlch hinders all too many young people after they have flitted through their schooling and gone out to cope with a more practical world. It is difficult to lay too broad a foundation. French Complications. France is still in an unsettled state of affairs. Its latest change in mln istries has brought prospect of security. no immediate j Problems that harassed Premiers Combes, Clemen reau and Hrland still perplex and eon found M. Monis. While come progress along certain lines has been accom plished, setbacks have been sustained j along others and, altogether, the situation is believed to be nearer a crisis in the republic than it was three years ago. Cltmnnce.au was regarded as a great improvement on Combes and aa bril liant as was he, Briaud was thought to possess even more advantageous qualities than Clemenceau, but all alike have failed to evolve order and system out of the political chaos that1 has existed and still exists. Because ' of Brlsnd's socialism he was expected to Influence that party for great good to the nation and at the same time, owing to -his strength with the con servative forces, to bring the two elements Into sympathetic relation. He failed utterly. The extremes there are as far apart aa are the clericals and their opponents and the four elements make the situation far more complex than ever. The monarchial party has always supported many lead- i- - .. ...IB" tng soclallpt measures and. strange as It may seem, this pecullnr alliance grows stronger. It Is pcrhapa the most foreboding shadow resting upon the republic. The causes and effects In France are not local. No longer are observeis pretending to deceive themselves as to that. The unsatisfactory condition i growing out of the government rail roads is but a small factor. .Ml agree that what ails tho body politic of France today Is the virus of socialism and anarchy, which has permeated the whole system of government and threatens more . evil results. Any remedy looking to a cure must be conipichenslve enough to apply to this revolutionary Influence. Complicating still further France's unpleasant condition Is Germany's dis pleasure at the return to the ministry of M. Delcasse, whose removal In 1905 from the ministry of the marine was taken as a concession to Germany. The German press Is outspoken in its dis approval of Delcasse's return to power. lie is, no doubt, the most forcible per sonality of the entire new ministry. Work for Men and Boys. The Young Men's Christian associ ation has entered upon a very remark able campaign throughout the coun try. It is a campaign for quiet, ef fective work to get hold of tho men and boys for religious service. Teams composed of prominent nieu of ability are making the rounds of ninety prin cipal American cities, conducting meetings and organizing their forces. From theho cities other teams radiate to the smaller towns, the purpose being to touch every corner of the country. This work is laid out upon rational lines. It contemplates no sensational or exciting tirades, but rather the quiet Bort of hand-to-hand work that is most calculated to Interest men and boys. It Is not proselytlrg. There is no effort or intention or getting men or boys into auy particular church. The sole purpose is to get 4.hem in terested In their spiritual welfare, to arouse them to the opportunities of better service. For one year this work is to go on. It is a part, at least an outgrowth, of the forward movement that has taaen hold of the men over the United States, and, according to church re ports, done a great deal of good. To the outside world looking on, all these movements certainly have the appear ance of genuine zeal aud commend themselves generally for their business-like methods, They seem to aim at some definite object and to employ a fixed system In reaching It. As these workers move across tho conti nent they receive the co-opcratlon of the local associations and evangelical churches without regard to denomi nations. Any such movement that gets the denominations more used to working together ought to bo con ducive of good results. Farmers and the Railroads. The Rock Island Is one of the great railroads that are doing much for in tensive farming by their work of edu cation. Like others it has accom plished a great deal with its special educational trains sent over its 8,000 miles of tracks The Union Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern and other roads have contributed vitally to this Important work. These railroads are able to employ the best talent and facilities for spreading the gospel of scientific agriculture and It Is a splen did thing for this propaganda. ' It means vastly more than can be meas ured In dollars and cents to have the combined Influence, Intelligently di rected, f the railroads In promoting the cause. But of course, the railroads are do ing this, not purely from a philan thropic standpoint. Philanthropy may be a factor, but they are reaping benefits, as they have a right to. Greater development, larger crops, more scientific farming, all alike help to multiply their sources of income and swell dividends. Yet, It has only been of late years that we have had this excellent co-operation, so that even selfish Interest Is being turned to good account. When the farmers and the railroads reach a plane on which they can combine their powers in mu tual co-operation they have atjalned an end worth striving for. The two united double the resources and make possi ble wonderful results. There is no good reason why the utmost frankness i mlcht not ox 1st hutwenii lhm fm. " ' ' lied economically. Hiw Far to Be Old-Fashioned. Folks often hear it said that the old-fashioned ways are the best. In every period of history, and none more than the present, the question is raised to mark the lines of future policies. It appears in the present political struggle In our country. All men demand to go forward, but they disagree as to the ways that lead on. In religion even more than politics, this tendency exists. The church divides on the lines of orthodoxy and imorthodoxy, of conservatism and liberalism. Many preachers and theologians say, "1 will hold to the old-fashioned doctrines; they are good enough for me." In statecraft, in religion, in society certain fundamental principles ran never change. To them the state or the church must hold securely. But old principles and old doctrines can be made to apply to new conditions and being old-fashioned is safe and Justifiable only when it does not prevent one from being progressive enough to become serviceable to his day and generation. What we need to be careful of is not to set up our own conceptions of old-fashionctlncss un less it plumbs with some great, funda mental truth and principle; not to crowd out the spirit of progress purely for the purpose of being ol 1-fasli-loncd. Churches have held tiKhtcr to creeds In days gone by than they are holding now. They have learned to look upon creeds as merely man made affairs (bat are thoroughly worthless unless they can be adapted to new and ever-changing conditions. That, of course. Is heresy to some, but not to the most progressive orthodox churchmen, the only kind who ate doing what is really worth while. New nationalism, says Mr. Roosevelt, is simply applying old principles to new conditions. The workaday value of the o!d-faBhloned law Is to be found in its ability to serve the needs of the new-fashioned customs. If It will not meet that test, it Is of no practical value. Merely being old-fashioned does not save It. The world cannot and will not stand still or go back ward to preserve or propagate an old theory. All the old principles that arc of any account move forward with and promote the world's progress, f ' President Taft expreswes the hope that congress, convening In extra ses sion, will confine itself to adopting the Canadian reciprocity agreement and stop there. An extra session of con gress, however, Is like a pralrlo fire easy to light, but no knowing how far it will travel before It dies out. Legislative redistrlt ting must not be allowed to get lost In the shuffle. Governor Aldrich Is under platform pledge to call the law-ma!ters back If they neglect lo readjust present dis proportionate representation In house and senate. The ex-boss of San Francisco poli tics, on entering the penitentiary to begin a fourteen years' term, said: "I turn my back upon the past and set my face to the future," Naturally, that would be the order.

One piece of work the last congress was able to do. While tariff board, reciprocity, conservation And oilier things had to be crowded out, the appropriations were made so vigorously that the IJ.OUO.OOO.OOO mark was surpassed, beating all former records by over l:io.000.000.

The decrease of clergymen In almost ev ery Protestant denomination has been the subject of frequent complaint by church authorities, by newspapers and by parishes, seeking clergymen for the last ten years. How much this Is Justified Is shown by the figures which have been brought to gether by Thornton H. Penfield, secretary for theological schools of the International committee of the Young Men's Christian association. This return covers forty years, 1K70 to 1!U0. and 144 seminaries, practically all In the Protestant communions, in JAT'i these Institutions had 3.2."4 students. In twenty-five years, 1S9.'.. the number doubled to ti.f.n;. At this point, as everyone Is aware, there began, to be a decrease In those who of fered themselves for the ministry. By 1302, or seven years later, while the population of the country had grown about Rftio.noo, and the number of church members and churches In full proportion, the number of men studying for the ministry had fallen to 5.3').,. There wore also ldS women, chiefly in the Baptist and Campbelllte Institutions. For the last eight years the number of men studying for the ministry has risen to ".:;."). Thla la very closely twice those who were studying in 1S70. In the Interval tho population of the country has groAti two and one-half times, its wealth bus quadrupled and the number of separate churches and church members has grown nearly In proportion to population. Nothing Is more necessary to the com munity, whatever the religious opinion of Its members may he. than tho steady and constant supply of men of high education, of consecration, of careful training, of In spiration and of lives devoted in act and word to the service of the divine and of humanity. JL'nless such men are ,ln the community Its great moral forces wlli cease to have their expression, their di rection, their inspiration and their repre sentation,. H Is, therefore to be regretted that, In spite of the many movements, particularly through our Young Men's Christian as sociation, which has been active during the last decade as never before, the sup ply of clergymen Is not keeping up with the growth of the country, but It Is gratify ing that this supply Is Increasing. It Is notable, however, that the share of those who become clergymen with a college edu cation Is decreasing. Down to lh the schools which require college training fur nished about, two-thirds of the total num ber of men fitting for the ministry.
