Breadth of View.
One of the chief obstacles to the so
lution of big problems is the lack of
breadth of view. Too many people
look at every qurstlon through a nar
row slit which prevents them from
seeing more than one side and often
more than a part of that side.
A truth, which Is not sufficiently
recognized and appreciated. Is that
human vision is at best limited and
circumscribed. If we look at the
heavens with the naked eye we see
certain stars and planets. If we look
again through a telescope we see
many more objects In the firmament
not previously visible. As the lens of
the telescope is perfected and becomes
stronger we see farther Into the
reaches of space and make constantly
new discoveries.
So with .the capacity of man to
view and grasp all sorts of subjects.
There are folks who can never see
farther than their own immediate
neighborhood, and there are others
whose vision can take in a city or n
state. Those who can view a question
from the broad standpoint of national
welfare are comparatively email In
number, and those who have ability
to grasp a world problem and trace
cause and effect for all humanity ex
tending, through the years and many
generations aro( rare, indeed.
One of the needs of the day Is
greater breadth of view. No ono will
deny that In this respect our twentieth
century will average higher than any
preceding era of the world's history
and that the main factors in this
change have been spreading intelli
gence, popular education, books,
newspapers, travel and improved com
munication. These factors are still
at work, still widening our breadth of
view and are the best promise of the
continued progress of mankind.
Beoiprocity with Mexico.
It was to have been expected that
reciprocity with Mexico would be
speedily proposed If the senate passed
the Canadian bill, so that Congress
man'Burleson of Texas can have sur
prised few with his resolution calling
on the president to begin negotiations
for a "freer commerce between the
two countries." It may not be fair
to question whether the resolution
springs from the best of faith. Others
besides the Texas congressman have,
of course, favored a measure of reci
procity between the United States and
Mexico. James G. Blaine advocated
Pan-American reciprocity, or, more
precisely, reciprocal trade relations,
for Blaine's theory of reciprocity did
not contemplate free trade.
But reciprocity with Mexico and
other South or Central American coun
tries must be considered from some
what different angles than similar re
lations with Canada. Canada and the
United States are almost identical in
the character of their people, their
modes and level of living, the price of
labor and similar in their forms of
government. Mexico and the United
States have substantially the same
form of government in theory, but
very different in fact; their peoples
are totally unlike as to race, tempera
ment, character and standard v of liv
ing; the workman of the United
States, like that of Canada, is an in
dependent, aggressive, highly-skilled
and well-paid man, while most of the
labor in Mexico is performed by the
uneducated, dependent and underpaid
peon.
It may be that, in time, complete
reciprocity between this highly devel
oped republic and this yet undevel
oped one will be brought about, for
with American and other foreign cap
ital and influence to exploit resources,
foster trade and promote commerce
in Mexico an era of expansion Is in
evitable. The Canadian reciprocity
agreement, however, offers little that
can be used to this purpose. While
there Is desire and need for closer re
lations between Mexico and the United
States, It will have to he worked out
on lines specially applicable to these
two countries.
Bice in California.
Californians are about to go In for
rice culture on a large scale. They
ought to make a paying business of It.
They have an assortment of climate,
soil and other conditions highly
adapted, it would seem, to such a crop.
They have the habit of eating rice al
ready formed. That should be a large
factor in favor of the new undertak
ing, for they would not bave to ex
periment with or tease or tickle the
tastes of the people to Work up, at
least, a local market for their pro
ducts. Rice is devoured there Is no
other word that will so well describe
It by the people of California. It is
a staple with them, more common
with many than potatoes. Whether
they contracted the habit from the
Chinese or not makes no difference;
they have the habit.
But, of course, California, which
always does everything on a big scale,
would raise rice for the country, not
merely for California. It would raise
rice the way it raises raisins. Rice is
a highly nutritious and wholesome
article of food and doubtless if more
largely produced In this country would
be more largely consumed, though we
manage, with what we rajse In the
south and import from the orient, to
get away with a good many tons each
year. The great San Joaquin valley,
which skirts the Sierra Nevada on
the east and the Coast range, almost,
on the west, and runs from Stockton
on the north to the Tehachapl on the
south, the most completely and pro
ficiently Irrigated section in the coun
try, ought to make an Ideal place for
the rice fields, so ought the Sacra
mento valley and others. In the
quickened industry of the new Cali
fornia and the far west this plan
probably will form a large part.
In addition to all the other essen
tial factors, California has the Chinese
and other orientals, adept In the cul
ture of rice, and perhaps for auld lang
syne sake they would be more willing
to lend their valuable services to this
employment than .to fruit and raisin
picking.
Battle of the Gods.
One of the greatest battles of all
time Is about to be fought here In the
very heyday of peace when men and
nations are turning from the thought
of war. The osteopaths of the world,
about one fourth of whom have been
assembled in convention at Chicago,
are the aggressors In this titanic strug
gle.' They have issued a challenge to
the allopaths, homeopaths and eclectls
to fight out the title for the champion
ship In the medical world. The battle
field shall be 800 human victims, af
flicted. It matters not with what. All
four schools shall go after them and
the ono effecting the largest number
of cures shall bo declared the winner.
Nothing In the form of sickness Is to
be barred. The osteopaths claim as
much power over acute diseases, even
Including typhoid and pneumonia, as
the others. Nor are the victims to be
consulted. They are to be charity
patients "and not supposed to know or
care what happens to them.
Talk about your war of gods, this
seems certainly to be it. The chal
lenges not having been .duly accepted
ns yet, we are unable to publish the
articles of agreement, but we natur
ally suppose they will 'provide that
each school shall have a whack at
each of the 800 victims. The chal
lenger doubtless will take his pull
and rub at him first and if that does
not put him out, the homeopath will
give him one of his little pills and if
still he shows signs of life the allo
path will douse him' with a dose of
dark brown fluid and If that does not
settle him, then the eclectic will pick
out the best of the other three systems
and go after him.
The referee shall be the hospital au
thorities, but this should be a simple
task, for most anybody can distin
guish a dead man from a live one.
Some folks may think this cold
blooded, but let them remember what
momentous supremacy waits upon the
count.
Work for the Bonds T Sure.
The Bee acknowledges receipt of a
printed circular from the Real Estate
exchange calling upon the loyal citi
zens and boosters of Omaha to work
for the water bonds. This, circular
strikes us as being quite and entirely
in point, as anyone with a mathemat
ical pencil may easlfy demonstrate.
The pending proposition calls for
the Issue of bonds In the sum of
$8,250,000, to run for thirty years,
and draw 4 per cent Interest. At
the end of thirty years, if the principal
Is then paid off, the account will look
like this:
WATER BOND LEDGER.
Bond principal 8.250.000
Interest (30 years 135 per cent). 11,137,500
Total $13,387,300
This is what the loyal citizens and
boosters of Omaha will be called on to
pay in taxes and water rents as the
price of Howelllsm In the purchase
of our water works. It Is self-evident
that to pay this price we will all have
to work for the bonds for at least
thirty years.
Labor Waste.
On an average of 27,000 workmen
In the United States are idle every
year as a result of strikes or lockouts.
The suffering and misery this entails,
to say nothing of Its economic effect
upon the country, are entirely too
great to attempt to estimate. It ought
to constitute a very effective argu
ment for industrial peace and for
arbitration as the means of settling
labor disputes.
In no way can this enforced Idle
ness be other than viewed as economic
waste. The country is simply throw
ing away that much of Its natural re
sources. Labor is the last thing in
the world that should be destroyed or
paralyred. We may talk of "scien
tific management" in business all we
please, but we will make little real
headway toward ideal management
until we have eliminated this tre
mendous element of labor waste. And
what are we doing to eliminate it?
Strikes or. lockouts are Just as liable
to occur today as they were. ten or
twenty years ago, so far as any ef
fective legislation the people have
taken to prevent them Is .concerned.
But Europe's waste in this regard
Is far greater than ours. According
to recent statistics on strikes and
lockouts in the old countries, an aver'
age for tour years shows that in the
three countries, Great Britain, France
and Austria, about 8,000,000 days'
work are lost from these causes. That
must be one of the causes of poverty
In those countries. Europe's loss,
however, Is no valid excuse for ours.
- - I
Bearing Fahe Witness.
Too many people are careless of the
good name of their neighbors. This
Is one of the resultant evils of gossip.
Men will sometimes condemn an ac
quaintance or a stranger on hearsay
evidence they would never think of
accepting as conclusive for a verdict
of guilty in a court of justice. Tet
reputations ran be destroyed or Im
paired and names Irreparably injured
by the taint of false witnessing out
of court. The flat of a Jury Is not
necessary to give it far-reaching sod
damaging power.
The first great Law-giver Included
In Ills decalogue of prohibitions the
bearing of false witness, and Solomon
and Shakespeare alike agreed on the
priceless value of a good name. The
former said It was "rather to be de
sired than great riches," and the
great poet esteemed money as but
trash !n comparison. The modern law
recognizes this ancient standard of
value when It fortifies the name and
reputation of the individual by every
legal device consistent with reason.
Slander and libel are severely dealt
with and the tendency Is toward more
restrictive laws for, the punishment
of printed falsehood.
But the false witness In private is
often more subtle and Insidious than
the one that comes out In public ex
pression, for the latter is more likely
to be corrected or retracted. Bome
tlmes the most Innocently intended
gossip leads to far-reaching evil con
sequences, so the safe thing to do is
to form the habit not to speak 111
about people and never to repeat what
you do not know to be the truth.
The Bane of Race Prejudice.
A native of a foreign land that
holds a certain race under the bane
of ancient prejudice writes a very In
teresting article In the August Atlan
tic Monthly on "Why I Came to Amer
ica." It was to flee from this sense
less, reasonless, persecuting prejudice
to a land where a man is "a man for
a' that and a' that," where the test
of manhood is the courage to be
decent and where class, caste and race
are merged in n great heterogeneous,
cosmopolitan mass of men. And
every year 2,000,000 aliens, not all
driven by persecution, to be sure, are
coming to this same Land of Refuge.
How are they being received and
how are they being treated? Do
those who suffered from the curse of
race prejudice abroad find complete
and satisfying relief in their adopted
fatherland? Some of them have seen
the missionaries of the cross In their
native lands, carrying there the sim
ple gospel of Him who knew no race
distinctions. Do they all find here the
glowing warmth of that Christian fel
lowship, or do they find Instead the
Icy hand of race prejudice to mock
their welcome?
What Is there in any race that a
good and determined man cannot live
above? What is there in one race
that distinguishes It as Inherently bet
ter than another? Nothing in scrip
ture, nothing In profane history, in
philosophy or science Justifies the de
basing illusion of race prejudice. All
professed Christian people should
think of this, for the melancholy truth
Is that many Christian people are
stubbornly and persistently fostering
this insidious sin of .despising certain
of their fellowmen.
The big soul is too well filled for
the mean emotion of race prejudice,
and America, the emancipator of a
race, at whose portals In the sea the
statue of liberty stands, above all na
tions, should be the last to foster this
blighting curse. '
Seeing America by Auto.
"See America first" is an injunction
that has been adopted as a motto by
travel promoters on this side to offset
the temptations to foreign excursions
set up by the steamship business
getters. The force of the suggestion,
"See America first," however, does
not depend upon seeing It by rail, but
Is just as impressive for seeing it by
auto, horseback or afoot. In fact,
"See America first" would be Just as
good a motto, with the postscript,
"and see It any way you can."
Everyone who observes what Is go
ing on about us and looks ahead to
what is in prospect must realize that
the auto Is giving new life to the sug
gestion to see America first. For
sight-seeing and touring the auto is
unique in its way, and the Increase of
its use for this purpose Is not only a
great travel stimulator, but also
bound to revolutionize, first, the roads
and roadways of the country, and,
second, the hotels and entertainment
places of the smaller cities and towns.
Yet neither is It likely to Impede or
interfere seriously with the expansion
of railway travel, but rather to help
it along, for the travel habit is con
tagious. The more of our people in
duced by the auto to "See America
first," the more will be Induced to see
it also by rail.
Americans have the reputation of
being the greatest travelers in the
world, but we believe the travel germ
Is only in its Incubation stage.
The Trouble Over Morocco.
England's "note of warning" to
Germany on the Morocco situation is
too clear and firm to be misunder
stood. Evidently John Bull feels very
strongly the necessity of repressive
measures. Yet such advice was to
bave been expected, for England could
no more countenance aggression by
Germany than Germany could longer
tolerate indifference or vacillation by
France. All alike have interests in
the troubled territory and all alike are
bound Insofar as there Is any bind
ing effect to it by the Algeclras
treaty. With all the unanimity ot
sentiment and action between the gov
ernment and opposition forces as to
what England should do and Lord
Balfour's vigorous declaration that
England Is not to be wiped off the map
of Europe, prudence forbids the con
clusion that friction will ensue be
tween the kaiser and king over the
situation. Rather, it would seem,
some common ground of understand
ing will be reached.
Back of this latest aspect of the
case one Is bound to look upon France
as responsible for the whole trouble.
France baa been shifting ministries so
fast as to destroy the continuity of Its
national policies. Four prime minis
ters have come and gone In a little
more than two years and the fifth Is
still new to his work. This means
five overturnlngs of official France.
Scarcely would one ministry Inaugu
rate a policy until It would go out of
power, and Its successor would, per
haps, substitute an entirely new pol
icy. France was recognized as the
European protectorate of Morocco,
and therefore the power to whom oth
ers were to look for guiding policies.
Germany is supposed to have tired of
the frequent changes In France and
awaiting decisions on Important ques
tions, therefore It dispatched its bat
tleship to Agadlr.
Germany's supposed necessity for
territorial expansion, since its Interior
is compactly developed, is brought
Into the present controversy and. no
doubt, has a place there, but what
brought things to a head at this par
ticular time Is clearly the unstable
condition of affairs In France.
It's almost funny to hear the Water
board's great hydraulic engineer, who
has engineered such a good sale price
for the water company, declaring now
that "we ought to lay a main to Flor
ence immediately." When the water
company offered to lay the main
nearly five years ago this same hy
draulic expert declared It was not
needed at all, and that the only relief
required was to build a storage reser
voir in Walnut Hill. That reminds
us that the Water board's order com
manding the water company to build
this storage reservoir Instead of a
supply main to Florence still stands
on Its records unrescinded, and if the
hydraulic member had then had his
way nearly $500,000 of the taxpayers'
money would have been wasted in
building an unnecessary reservoir.
Writing to the Commoner in answer
to Mr. Bryan's questions, Governor
Marshall of Indiana says, "I do not
consider myself a candidate for the
nomination for president. I hold it
to be such a position that no man Is
big enough to run for it." Is this in
tended for irony or Just for sarcasm?
Some promoter has launched a
scheme for photographing men's souls.
It will be embarrassing to some men
who make loud professions If they
ever turn the X-rays on them to that
extent.
In an off-year election the total vote

Ues Moines Capltol.
There Is a growing suspicion throughout
the eountry that the dear people were
worked by the yellow press In the recent
hysteria which was Industriously devel
oped over the case of Mrs. Neapolltana,
the Canadian woman over whom such
frantic effort was made to save from the
penalty of her crime. The Toronto Star,
which knows the facts in the case, makes
the following comment:
"The stir that has been raised about
Mrs. Neapolltana, who has been sentenced
to death at the Canadian Soo, Is largely
the work of American Journalism. The
story which has been wired all over tha
United States,' working people up to sign
petitions which are to be forwarded to
Ottawa asking that the woman be par
doned or Imprisoned and not hanged, seems
to have been adopted because It would
read well and serve the purposes of sensa
tional Journalism. It would seem. In fact,
that Neapolltana was a better mart than
his wife was a woman. The story that she
killed her husband because he wanted her
to live a life ot shame will not bear ex
amination. She was beaten by her hus
band because she had lived with another
man while he was away, and more than
once had she offended In this way. In
short, her Infidelities caused her to be In
fear of her husband's anger, and It la not
an easy task which yellow Journalism
sets Itself In trying to make a virtuous
heroine Of such a woman. If she valued
her honor, her conduct gives us no hint of
It She betrayed her husband repeatedly
and continuously, as the evidence and her
own admissions prove, and when her guilt
enraged him until he beat her she killed
him with an axe as he slept In hla dis
honored home. Not good material out' of
which to make a heroine, yet the Ameri
can Journals have succeeded well."
As to whether . this woman deserved
death, life Imprisonment, a mere Jail sen
tence or Just a reprimand at the hands
of the court is not especially material to
the point which we desire to make, and
that la that there la nothing in which peo
ple like to make themselves ridiculous so
well as In the matter of signing petitions
for ber pardon.

Philadelphia Bulletin: An Illinois clock- L .
maker proposes to present alarm clocks to
church members to be used In waking them
In time for the services, thereby prevent
ing any necessity of ringing the church
bells. He believes that non-churchgoers
would thereby be enabled to take a long
sleep on Sunday morning undisturbed by
the call 'to worship. This philanthropist
might reflect that If the sluggard were
to respond to the call of the church bell
he would spend bis time much more profit
ably than In snoozing through the holy
Sabbath forenoon.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: The Rev. Dr. Anna

association, has succeeded In setting Nor

the recent international woman's suffrage
convention in Stockholm, Sweden, was
opened with services In the state church
and Dr. Shaw preached a sermon the first
ever delivered In Sweden by a woman.
Her success led the suffragists to ask per'
mission for her to preach in the stats
church at Chrlstlanla, Norway. Permis
sion was refused on the ground that, while
women may vote In Norway, they may
not hold office In army, navy or church.
"When I left there," said Dr. Shaw, In,

DO YOU REMEMBER t
Margaret P. Montague In the Atlantic, r
Do you remember, from the dim delight '
Of long ago. the dreamy summer right,
So full, so soft, when you, a sleepy child, ,
Lay In your faintly star-lit room and smlltxl
Responsive to the laughter of the folk
Who sat upon the porch below and spoke
From time to time, or sang a snatch ot
song?
Do you remember still across the long
Years' way the perfume from the flower
beds
Wafted In gusts of sweetness, as the heads)
Of drowsy blooms were shaken by tha
wind? ,
And wistful, do you still hold In your mind "
The myriad doings of the summer night? '
The tree-toads, and the cricket's chirp, tha 4
flight
Of fireflies, those burglars of the dark,
Who flash their lantern light, then veil
Us spark;
The breathless calling of the whip-poor''
wills,
A sobbing screech-owl off among the hllls7
Then cobweb visions over dreamy eyes
Do you remember how In mystic guise
Sletp 'gan to wave her mantle o'er youB
head?
Now far, now near, the shadowy folds she
spread.
Slow, and mora slow, until at last they fell
And wrapt you In their slumb'roua heavy
wen
And so, gathered Into happy rest.
Sleep caught you fast against her fragrant
breaat.
Then set her velvet pinions wide In flight
And bore you through the wonder of the
