Suppressing the Money Trust Congressman Littleton of New York is quoted ss sarins that be is opposed to the inquiry iato the so- called money trust as proposed by Congressman Henry and others, for the reason that it would tend to produce a panic. He suggests that "it would be better to admit that there Is a money trust, if such exists, and then set about securing legisla tion to remedy the evil."

Paraguay and Argentina threaten to go to war. They need not. for they hsres'l a chance In. a thousand of holding the front page now. it is true, snd the proposed Investi gation doubtless would, as ' Mr. Littleton says, create unrest, but bis proposition to legislate without in vestigation seems to fall fsr short of the mark. It may even be ques tioned whether it is made In good faith. Be that as it may, there la a wide divergence of views as to the existence snd power of a so-called money trust. In a speech Isst July at Hsrrisburg, Pa., Governor Wood row Wilson proclaimed thst such a trust existed and that It was "the great trust." Instantly bis ' ex pressions were echoed and endorsed and likewise denied. The New York World took rebement exception to Dr. Wilson's declaration, saying: Governor Wilson misrepresented the money situation, lie has painted a vivid picture of mlfuaed concentrated power not warranted bjr facta . ' ' To prove Its own ' friendliness for Governor , WJI'on, whom it was criticising ss "Rrysaixing" on this occasion, tho World in the course of Its : editorial, observed: ' Tin world yields to none In tt ad nitr ation of Governor Wilson's political senilis. Wo hope to be able "to support him for the presidency. But in March, t, when the Na tional City and First National banks of New Tork took over the New York Bsnk of Commerce with a capital of 2S,000,000, the World exclaimed: "' When the money power In New Tork Is so massed In few hands that there will not remain on alnals old-fashioned hanker so ttnpulte as not t snees when Mr. Baker or Mr. Stlllman takes snuff, ws may be quite ready far Mr. Aldrk-h's central bsnk-unles the masters -of the people's money decide that they no longer have any need of such an Institution. Bo that," even the World, though not calling It by the name of a trust, has asserted thst there Is a formid able "money power" that Is master of th people's money. . So long as there are such deep, decided con victions la the minds of the people on all sides of the question. It would seem to be essential at least to be fully Informed before legislating. The difficulty arises from the ad mixture of political purposes, but surely If sny remedy is to be applied to core supposed evils, congress should know first what evil It la try ing to remove. If the requirement of 100 signa tures to a petition shuts anyone out of the commiaslonersblp race it will betoken only' lack of persistence. Kama days must be dark end dreary.

' Another Phase of States Bights. The debate In the senate lsst week on the1' measure . for the establish ment of a children's bureau under the Department of Commerce and Labor serves to Illustrate anew the many-sidedness of the old question of federal authority as against atates rights, which has been up almost constantly since the adoption of th constitution. Tb main point of at tack upon th proposal to organise th federal activities relating to chil dren, and provide a sort et national clearing bouse for Information and statistics bearing on the condition snd treatment of th child In the various states, and also abroad, was a supposed Invasion of state rlchts snd assumption of powers by con gress which should be exercised by the state legislatures. As wss naturally to be expected. the ultra states rights doctrine Is raised now as heretofore by the Bourbon democrats of the south, and perhaps best typified in lb remarks of 8enator Ballsy, from which, the following extracts are taken: ' It Is a dancerous doctrine that the federal goverpment has the power or that rests und-r the duty to, obtain fcifor- mon which wui enable the state sov arninenta U executa their functions. Vp to fifty years ago wa Lad admitted more ntw slates than ws have since then, our population bad Increased much more rapidly. Judged by percentage, from the beslnnlnc up to then than It has atnoa then up to now, consequently we had all of I ha problems lu that day that we now have. The only differences about It la that we left each soverelsnty to deal with lis own pnuMoats, If the suarseatiua ta to be accepted that tit a power which it seeais desirable to exercise la not con ferred on the federal government and nut conferred on the state governments, then the federal sovomnient la entitled to en erclas It. it la the enu at least to the democratic theory of the ccnstltutloo. 24 principal parts and accent Is sot drilled into a student with any Idea of It remaining fixed in his mind, but rather as a mental dis cipline. It is not what a youth may actually earn at once behind a counter or in an office or- .shop that decides the question of , his real worth upon graduatkm from college. An Awakening- of the Courts, Servers! prominent judges and Jurists in Missouri bare risen .to the demand for a better administration of Justice and attempted a reform upon . their own responsibility. First,' they admit the existence of In excusable and costly abuses, which mak for injustice, concede the right of the litlgsat to easier conditions and' the duty of the bench to try to provide them. Tb bench, nnaided by the bar, of course, cannot effect a complete change, but tne' oeacn will have the aid of the bar If it goes about its task with the right system and determination. ' This laudable awakening to tbis crying public demand Is most por tentous. Setting the proper exam ple, the .Missouri Judges will' very promptly find themselves leading a. procession moving in one direction. Put enough momentum back of tbis reform and all the old Influences so long retarding It. combined and raised lo their highest exponent of power, cannot resist the sweep of it. Missouri, especially, baa been cited as a state where technicality is msg- Blfled beyond all limits of sense or reason. Th courts, the judges themselves, as President Taft has urged, are the ones who ought to take the initiative and remove all csuse for popular distrust. The peo ple will respect th courts If the judges will only command respect! "Whirlwind" methods of raising money for Young Men's Christian as-l soclatlon purposes has not been a blooming success. In London. Charles 8. Ward, the American secretary of that body, undertook a twelve-day campaign to raise $500,000, but lacked one-third of the ram when the dock dial marked the finishing stroke. Most of the subscriptions were contingent on raising the entire amount It requires more pressure than prayer meetings and vocal ap peals can exert to loosen the London grip on the purse strings. While no attempt waa made to controvert the logic of tb Texas sen ator. It developed thst a number of democratic senators. Including our own democratic senator from Ne braska, who preach the democratic doctrine of slates rights, finding themselves confronted with a prsc- tlrsl problem, were forced to re pudiate this . democratic theory in favor f th republican theory of the constitution, which harbors no fear of centralised government , No discussion of those police court jury trials should overlook the fact that the law by Which these juries wer authorized Is an emanation of the last democ ratio legislature and of the democrat lo delegation from this county. It should not be over looked, either, that th clans pro viding for police court juries was a Joker carefully hidden In th ro of an apparently Innocent bill. The fa( that befell tho swimmer who joked about drowning so fre quently that no attention waa paid to his scream of genuine distress Is not unlikely to reach the aviator who played a ghastly Joke on bis sudl enc at Los Angeles. Simulating dls sster In graveyard of aviators war rants an examination tor lunacy. if everything, wer bis way out her In th west, it Is hardly aup posable that Senator La Follette would put in any of his time strengthening his fences In Nebraska snd adjacent states. But perhaps be merely want to cheek up on the roseate reports sent him by hla lieu tenants. But those sealous Baconians who maintain that Bacon not only wrote Shakespeare, but the King James version Bible, surely will not say he was the little fellow that Pharoah's daughter " fished out of the bull- It xuay.be bard for a rich man to break into heaven and a camel to pnli aiaselX through the eye of a avsedle and all that, but it is a dach as compared with a ball player hold ing out against tb twitter of the birds and the first flush of green t .... - - Money Measure of College Diploma. ia It an indictment of the college and college graduate to place the letter's financial "worth" at 16 ; a week, the figure named by President Hlbben of Princeton? Since the untechnlcal school Is not supposed to produce technically-trained men. Its graduates should not be regarded by any rule measuring their vslsa tton to this trade or that profession. Reserve snck a rule for the young msn who hss come from the techni cal school. If, the ordinary college graduate has trained his mind so that' he is prepared to learn, his education is not in vain, if he has learned vnough to know that com mencement really is th commence ment time for htm, he hss don wall. If he has acquired the habit of sys tematic, thinking and sober acting, of discriminating between the n and. worthless things In life, of weighing them and soaking no mis take in bis selection, he has profited by bis schooling. Of coarse, th first achievement of a college edu cation should be a well-trained mind. Tb college-bred man should, all things considered, be able to think Icgicaiiy ana nonesuy. The eon- jnguttn of tire Greet verb with Its It looks as It the wool schedule, which waa denounced as the only in defensible part of the tariff, is to be sidetracked by the democrats be cause they think they csn mske some political capital out of the ateel duties. Of course, there Is no poll- tics In this tariff revision business. It is gathered from the public re marks st th county treasurer's con vention that the modern patriot who rises and cheers when the band plays The Star Spangled Banner" and later dodges his taxes does not thrill the officisls with admiration. With sixty cross marks to be made on each official ballot voted in the primary here in Omaha, the job of lection Judge or clerk carrying th duty of tallying and counting the vote i not apt to be, la very urgent demand.

Just tell them, Please, thst American farmers ever sine the landing of ths Pilgrim Fathers have been planting corn, and that the Ameri can Indians planted corn before those Pilgrim Fathers were Invented. Both Indisns snd farmers have not only bees planting corn for several hundred yeara but tor several hundred years they have st a u..lform rule been careful to see thst they hsd good seed. These considerations r think should be sufficient to quiet the mlnda of gentlemen on the seed corn qoeatlov, It la too bad to have them lying awsk nights through fear thst the farmerj will plant a lot of rotten seed snd thst we shall have no corn crop neat year. Farmers srs not quits as big fools as some people take them to be. snd srs fully ss competent te manage their own business ss are merchants to manage their business. A neighbor adjoining ma has corn thst tents M per oent. He will sell It to seeds men. He thinks my corn, which made flfy bushels per sere, ss good as his. Either of us will be able to pick out corn that will teat s per cent, and that with out any testing either. Testing, while well enough. Is by no mesns essential. I have planted corn for more than forty years and cannot now recall that I ever. In s single Instance, "letted" my seed. I think It 'a undoubtedly true aa to all Una section of ths ststs. and prob ably as to the whole, slate, where there wss sny corn st all, that farmers will have little trouble In getting seed from their own cribs or from their neighbor. Ia Lincoln lsst Haturdsy I heard Dean Burnett talk, slmjet with tears In his eyes, of planting at per tent corn on the theory that 't would mean a loss of ill per cent on the crop. How ridiculous.

Lsst Tbursdsy, while eating din ner st the Thurston hotel in Columbus, ths writer sat at a table with alx gen tlemen, three of them being traveling men, two business men from other townse of the stste. and the sixth took no part in th eonversaltoa. One traveling mas said that when Roosevelt rsn for th presi dency he traveled to miles to rots tor him. but this year he would be willing to travel it miles te vote against him. He believed that Taft waa ths best president ws had had in late years, notwlthaandlng he had mad some mkttakea. The next traveling man said that he did not take ach interest In pontics, but believed that the candldaes would be Taft and La Foilette. Hla friend asked him If be meant that they would be en the Aame ticket, and he replied. "Of course not. La Fol'.etta Is a democrat.

The rest of the men were strong In their advocacy of the nommatloa of Mr. Taft, and believed there wss little er no que, tlen but that he would be the repub- ucan candidate.
