Race Trouble in Trxtt.
The fantaatlc tale that comes from Browns
ville about a rare uprising that Is to take over
portions of Texas to form a new republic bas
tl.ls foundation, that such a scheme could only
have Its roots In the densest of Ignorance. That
section of Texas Is Inhabited largely by poor
Mexicans, driven across the border by distress at
borne, or descended from the peons who lived
there before Texas withdraw from Mexico. In
termixed with these are Uneducated negroes,
with a sprinkling of Japanese and Chinese. Tba
"White Man's Union" Is the strongest organi
zation In that part of the world, and exists
solely to maintain the supremacy of tha whlta
n an. It is n Texas institution, and takes tba
place of politics! parties In local affairs. Its
existence Is not always calculated to soothe tba
temper of Ignorant men who feel 'its repres
sion at times, and while It keeps governments!
processes In the cobtrol of the white man, It does.
not make the colored man feel any the more
kindly towards the dominant race.
It Is not at all surprising that vicious men
could go among these Ignorant people and fo
ment Just such disorder, as Is now apparent.
It was done In Mexico, and could easily be re
peated in tha Tnlled States. Tba lodges of tha
order ofN8an Diego have -ben known to exist
for a long time, and have been tolerated because
they were not considered dangerous. Other
factors than tha political situation In Texas en
ter into tha problem, and must be given full
weight In tba consideration of any solution. One
of the causes of irritation Is found in tha ex
igence of many "get-rlch-qulck" schemes In
which the whlta men are Interested, and sll
having something to do with controlling condi
tions on both aides of the border. -
General Funston's report will doubtless
awaken the authorities to tba serious aspect
of affairs along the Rio Grande, where much
has been neglected, and order will be restored
along the American border.
Judge William E. Hanger.
Nebraska losea ona of Us conspicuous cm
sens In-the death of William H. Munger, who
has presided over the federal court for tha dis
trict of Nebraska for eighteen years. The high
character of tho service which Judge Munger
I as been rendering Is perhaps bast attested by
the fact that during the last few years, before
his health became undermined he had been called
upon to sit almost continuously with the circuit
court of appeals whera his Judicial experience,
and clear perception of the equities of each case,
were greatly valued by the Judges of that "su
perior bench. Further than this, he at all times
commanded tbe respect and confidence of the
Utorneys practicing befora him. "The etata of
Nebraska, of which he waa a pioneer citizen, Is
Indebted to Judge Munger perhaps most In his
capacity as a member of the constitutional con
vention which framed ;the fundamental law
which has governed the commonwealth now for
forty years. The architects of that historic
document builded tar wiser than they knew, and
luld the foundations for the future growth and
greatness 0 the state which lias so far passed
nil. expectations.
Americans at Book Readers,
' ' We in the United 8tatea aro not tha book
leaders that are the people of the leading Eu
ropean countries. Over here but one person In
7.S0O buys a book in the course of a year, while
in Great Britain it is ono in 3,800, in Franca it
In about tho same, in Germany and Japan It Is
rather better, and In Swltserland it is one' la
ST2. These figures, Incorporated in an article
Li the Atlantic proposing a remedy for the back
ward book trade, discloses a condition which we
are' sura few realise. While the proposed rem
edy of a woman's revival of the crossroads book
hop as part of a chain store system does not
strike us as feasible, the bare figures are some
thing to ponder on.
It la suggested that the discrepancy In book
reading here and abroad la to he partially ac
counted for by the cheaper, books in paper cov
er that constitute tba bulk of tha continental
reading, yet experiments by American publish
trs with low-priced editions have not panned out
as well as the standard-price hook. Mora plaus
ible is the explanation .that we do not buy many
books because wo read periodicals and newspa
pers, and devote our. leisure, time to automo
biles, moving pictures and listening , to. muslo
produced mechanically without any effort on our
part. But over and above all this blasona the
big, salient fact of universal education in our
public schools, banishing illiteracy and making
every man, woman and child a potential book
reader and book buyer.
The disparity referred to, then, must bo
cbargeablo to a defect In the' education, or 'at
least to failure to develop a book-reading and
book-loving habit. Perhaps we do not need this
habit any more perhaps the day of private
libraries and prized editions of favorite authors
is passing perhaps tho future American, will
have bis book reading dona by professionals, as
ho haj so many other things done for him. Tbero
certainly la to bo no cassation of wriUng books
whtlo It is notoriously easier to get them printed
low thsn everv The real question, therefore.
Is, Are book resdlng and owning ona's own
books still worth while?
Tho "Offdea Gateway."
The action of the Union Paclfio In closing
the "Ogden gateway" or rather reserving it for
Its own patrons, has been upheld by the Inten.
state Commerce Commission, after hearing tho
protest of tho Colorado lines and tho summer
resort hotel keepers, who demanded that the
traveling public be routed through their domain.
The decision amounts to recognition of the
principle that an owner has tho right to make
a preferential use of his own property for his
own benefit so long as ho does not lnconvenieneo
tho public by doing so. Rival lines will not bo
permitted to make tho great Overland road an
adjunct of their own, but tho servtco to tho pub
lic will bo in no way impaired. Ono Important
phraso in tho decision Is that owners of summer
resort hotels can obtain no vested rights as such
In tho operation of a railroad. Tho Union Pa
cific wag compelled to taka its action by tho
selfUh aggression of competitors, whoso short
sighted opposition forced self-protection on tho
Harriuian management. Through servtco be
tween east and et will not be impaired, but
Omaha once more continues to bo tho entrepot
in fact as well as in name.

The "Mormon" President
aaaet Magraala,
THFI people who colonised tha deaart ralleys of
"Tha Great Baein" and foundedi tba now flourish
ing atata of I'tah, Were tha Latter Day Balnta,
or "Mormona." In their pilgrimage from the Mleela
rippt and Mlaaourl ri vera tha latter then tha frontier
of tha nation they penetrated to tha wtlderneaa be
tween tha Rockies and tha fflerra Nevada and aet up
tha standard of Intermountaln civilisation.
Tha present day leader of thla community Is tha
sixth to bear tha title of preatdent of tha Church
Jeaua Christ of Latter Day faints. He Is the nephew
and namesake of that Joseph Smith whom all "Mor
mons"' revere aa their martyred prophet. His father,
Hyrum Smith, shared with his brother, the prophet,
hla tragic fata at Carthage. Ill, June 7T. 1R44: an act
of mob violence preceding by only a faw years tho
migration of their people Into tha wilderness,
Horn at Far West, Mo., November M, IKS, In tha
very thick of tho mob troubles that culminated in tho
expulsion of tho "Mormons'' from that state, his
father, Hyrum Smith, was a- prisoner In the hands of
tha Mleeourlan when hla son John F. came. Into tha
work1. (one of tha plunderers, while sacking tho
defenseless city, thrust themselves Into the sick
mother's presenoe. and In reckless search for articles
of value pulled a bed to pieces and toeead tha mattress
upon another bed where the babe lay sleeping. Ha
was nearly smothered when, black In the face, bo
waa rescued from his perUouo position.
In tha exodua of ISM he accompanied his widowed
mother from Nauvoo, III., crossing tha Mississippi on
a flat boat, towad by a skiff. Camping on the low.t
side of tha river, they witnessed the bosnbardment
by tha mob forces of tha dty from which they had
fled Mrs Smith, a woman of heroic mettle, drove
her own team to the MUsottrt river, and thence across
the plains and mountains to Salt Lake valley. Iter
little son acted as herd boy and teamster and other
wise assisted the family during and after the lone;
Journey to the Rocky mountains. Ha was not aulte
10 years old when that Journey ended. .
Though naturally serious, and Intensely earnest
In his convictions, his temperament Is not saturnine,
as unfriendly critics have represented. While ho Can
be solemn,- he Is not gloomy and morose. On tbe
contrary, there la a jovial vein In hla disposition which
makes htm most companionable. Ho laughs as heartily
ss anyone at a good Joke, and has a keen apprecia
tion of wit and humor. Occasionally ha will "spin
a yarn" himself. But fun-making, In order to be ac
ceptable to Mm, must bo In season; he delights not
In Ill-timed pleasantries, nor In such as leavo a, sting
behind. A bard worker, almost tnoeaaantly employed,
he never allows hla recreations which are all too few
to Interfere with hla labors, particularly his religious
duties. ' 1 i
There Is nothing that President ' Smith seams to
enjoy mora than to be tho boat, and to welcome to his
homo, or to public halls owned by tho church over
which ha presides, his friends and fellow laborers. A
marked feature of hla administration has bean an ex
pended aeries of social functions In tho form of semi
annual receptions, given In honor of vetera'ns of tha
church, notably those who drove ox teams or pulled
hand-carts across the plains In .ante-railroad days, or
who now occupy posts or hardship, if not of danger,
In out of tha way sections. His kind thoughtfulneas
toward the aged and hla tender care for little chil
dren are among hla moat' pronounced cbaracteriatlca.
I was present on an occasion when ha expressed him
self indignantly over an Inatanoe where a woman,
coming late Into a public assembly, had committed
the Impropriety of pulling a child out of a scat that
she desired to occupy. I have also known him to
leave his place to speak a word of comfort to a poor
rid lady whose feelings had been hurt by an ovor
brusque,' not to say Ill-mannered, conductor. In some
matter pertaining to her ticket. .Exceedingly sensi
tive and tender-hearted, ha Is easily moved to tears by
any pathetlo Incident that makes a audden demand
upon his emotions. - V .'l.. : '.-.
While not a millionaire, ' he ta In prosperous cir
cumstances the result of hard -work,, prudent man
agement; wise Investments, ' and a disposition to save
and live within h'.s means. Ho will never purchase
an article unless he needs It and can afford It A
safe and careful financier, he never pluages recklessly
Into an enterprise, however Inviting, and ho always
takes a good look before ho leaps. "Oct out Of debt
and keep out," ta an Injunction frequently upon hla
lips, when giving advice tn public or In private; and
ha takea hla own counsel. Like Longfellow's black
smith, "ho owes not ony man." Nor will ho allow tho
church to become Indebted for a single dollar that Iv
cannot pay on demand. As Its truatoo-ln-trust, hold
ing tha legal title to Its property, and managing In S
general way 1U affairs,, ha Is determined that Us
credit, now gilt-edged, shall ao remain. Ha permits
no waato and no needless expenditure of the funds
entrusted to him. He has been persistently accused'
'of avaricious greed, malfeasance in office, and even,
of wholesale robbery of widows and orphans; but
theao charges. Invented and set afloat- by personal
enemlea for ulterior enda, have no foundation in fact
lie keeps and renders strict account of all moneys or
ether meana coming Into hla hands as custodian of tho
same for and In behalf of hla people. Tha total tith
ing paid In the church during 1814, an average year,
was fl.8S7.930. Funda distributed for tho support of
the worthy, poor amounted to fM6,S3t; tn addition to
these regular funds, there was collected, practically
In a single day and without cost, 133,000 for tho war
sufferers la Europe.
President Smith has always been Interested In in
dustrial development, and has played a . prominent
part In establishing many enterprises that have bene
fited Utah and other parts of the west. Ho has helped
to construct canals and reservoirs, to build railroads
and extend telegraph lines, to found! eo-operatlvo
stores, mills and factories, and ho la now president
or director tn various large business concerns- Tho
question may here be asked: Why la President Smith
la. business a) all? Buoh queatlona might well be
met by a question from tho other aide: How could
tbf LsUter Day ttalnta have accomplished their great
work ot redeeming a desert, building cities, bringing
tha poor from foreign lands, colonising tho waste
places, snd planting civilisation amidst savagery, had
their religion not been a religion of temporalities, of
emigration, agriculture, manufacture and oommeroo,
as well aa a religion of churches, chapels, temples,
schools and mUaionaT Deserts are not redeemed by
prayer alone. A atata cannot bo founded by singing
hymns, preaching sermons and performing ordlnanoaa,
Tba "Mormon" believes that Ood la inter ted In the
earthly oa well as tho heavenly welfare of hla chil
dren;' that Ha tntenda to make earth Into a heaven
for their future happiness; and that tha process of Its
evolution Into eternal glory comprises temporal as
wall as spiritual activities.

OMAHA, Aug. 11. To tha Editor of The
Bee: I desire to know who has the
first rights, or. In other words, th
right-of-way at any street crossing at
places known as regular crosswalks tha
automoblllst or the pedestrian T In illus
tration: An uncrowded corner; no other
autos: no other pedestrians; Seventeenth
and . Douglas. Pedestrian walking east
along aouth aids of croao walk. Automo
bile coming north from near Bee build
ing, intending to turn east and go down
Doiurta. Autolst toots horn Just north
ot alley. Keeps on coming. Psdeatrlaa
gets almost to east curb, but has actually
to stop or bo run down by the auto be
cause the autoist has not tha courtesy to
turn and go behind tbe pedestrian as ho
should do, and as any pedestrian would
expect him to do, or has he tho right to
run down the sald pedestrlanr Is the
autoist required by any law or ordinance
to go behind and thus avoid, tha pedes
trian T Several eXitotsta have thus un
necessarily gone out of their way to
threaten my life this way on this par
ticular corner.
At sea tho rules of the road requires a
eeeen liner to avoid running - down
smaller vessels by requiring them to ad
Juat tbe liner's course according to tho
course or direction of the smaller sailing
vessel, or even rowboat, provided said
smaller boat pursues steadily its course,,
I have personally In a rowboat crossed
In front of an oncoming ocean liner feel
ing more safe than I do walking tn front
at autoo. ' ,
Even In busy railroad yards, with
switching crews and engine and cars
going In every ' direction, a pedestrian
has to watch eveny way and cars run
only on tracks. The railroads let mo one
run locomotives until one has spent years
learning the rules of the road as a fire
man. A greenhorn can buy aa auto and
start out with It, perhaps one who has
never learned the rules of the road hy
even driving a horse tr team or riding n
bicycle. And these are excellent school
for learning the rules ot the road. On
crowded streets the sutolst has to get
get through where he can, in front or be
hind pedestrians', but on a lonely corner
the auto, or 'any other -vehicle should
preferably go behind the pedestrian In
stead of like a pig, crowd In between the
pedestrian and the curbstone.

Old AHA. 'Aug. li-To" the Editor of The .
.Bee: The chief objection" to. prohibition '
by the drinking people seems to be the
legal interference with their freedom to
purchase and drink liquor Where and !
when they chooee. Now, if you do not'
like the law to Interfere with your habits,
then see to it that the dispenser of liquors
keeps his patrons within tha . limit of
what you call moderate use of the stuff.
Prohibition has gained so fast only on
account of the terrible, havoc liquor bas
wrought. ....
. I admit that education of the right,
character is the beat remedy, but tbat
education does not consist of t'je theory
that you can stick your hand In the fire
without getting burned, or tbat tha mod
erate use of liquor is commendable and
harmless. Proper education consists of
knowledge that you cannot use a stimu
lant, such as alcohol, in any quantity, and
avoid tbe corresponding depression that
follows. Proper education consists of the
knowledge which will enable us all to
live scientifically, to be at our best,'
mentally and physically, and, when we
have reached this stage of our progress,
the highest state or lasting bapplnesa will
be the result.
A popular argument of the antl-prohtbl-tlonlst
Is that prohibition would throw out
ot employment thousands ot people who
sre now engaged In tha liquor traffic.
Now suppose prohibition doea etop, or at
least greatly reduce the manufacture of
liquor. These people who stop buying
liquor would then spend their money
for useful things, such as more and bet
ter education, more and better homes,
furniture, clothes, etc, .To produce these
additional things would require more
workers than those now employed In tbe
liquor traffic
Had I the power to etop the production
of alcoholic beverages the world over, I
would, without a moment's lealteUon.
stop It this minute, without' consult
ing anyone as to the advisability of such
a move. . . ' R. B. BENDA.

OMAHA. Aug. 11 To the Editor of Tha
Bee: Tou printed a, letter on "Tha Latin
Bugaboo." by Charles P. Lang of Tllden,
In which letter there .appeared a sentence
which contained the word "That" ten
times, and which waa used to Illustrate
tbe complexity ot the English language
to distinguish tha latroductorles, demons
tratives, relatives, nouns, etc., and at
which sentence many a -teacher would be
confused. The sentence Is: "I say that
that that, that you said, was not. that
that, that you said that, that that was."
Now such a eongloiusralloa of homonyms
would be easily discernible It tha idea
would be translated into type language,
or the International Esperanto, tn which
ws would find the following statement:
"Ml dlrae ka tlu keo, klu vi dirts no
estta tlu keo, ka vt dtiis ka ttu keo est Is."
Here ke Is an Introductory; tlu, a dem
onstrative; keo, a noun; klu Is a relative,
etc. Now these correlatives of which this
ona root "lu" forms one of nine (for ke.
above. Introductory and Its noun form, '
ending In o, are not correlatives) in which
table the root here la "lu," signifies eoms
ona, prefixed wtth o, or ctu, becomes col
lective, everyone; by t, or tlu, that one,
a demonstrative: nen or nealu, a nega-'
t-ive. or no ona; k or klu. a relative, be
who, or that which. Those forms are
filed and constant, and a grade pupil
could dlwera them. Esperanto la tha
digest of the fifteen Arysn languages and
la tha neutral ground fur lingual inter
pretation as tr,s abeve aentence haa been
interpreted by C C. J. ROisEKTS.

Take you the folk of the earth in pay,
With bars of gold vonr ramparts lay,
Bedeck the ocean with bow on bow,

Hate of seventy millions, choking down.

Beating the Heat

Human be jngs are not the
only sufferers from heat pros
tration. Many a business undertaking has
. been dealt a staggering blow by the same ail
ment. '
If your business suffers from heat pros
t ration, it's your own fault.
The hardest thing for the public to do is
to be light-hearted and good-natured under
the broiling rays of a summer sun. If it is
' made more ill-natured by the floorwalkers
and saleswomen in your store, it's your own
fault.
How about the efficiency and service of
your employes on a hot day J
How, much desire have you instilled into
them to cheer up the tired woman or the
worried man who conves to your counters t
Answer those questions, and you will de
cide whether you or the weather can be
blamed for the f allimj off in your sales.
Stop a moment and remember that vul
garity emphasizes itself in hot weather.
How much does it cost you to permit one
girl behind your counter to affront a pros
pective buyer by an untidy appearance t
What is your expense for allowing two of
your employes to chew gum t
There is in this country a kind of com
mercial suicide. It consists of inducing peo-
fle to come to your store and then permitting
hem to feel discouraged and antagonistic
because of your lack of efficiency and cheer
ful service.
Anybody who serves the public must set as
his ideal the fact that he will be superior in
. so far as he can to the weaknesses of the
public.
These are tbe days when it pays big money
to offset the hot, disgruntled buyer with good
nature and optimism.
He who wants the public to patronize him
must set a standard above the public's stand
ard. You have no right to be annoyed by the
heat. You never have a right to be impa
tient with your public. ; '..
If you do, you will undermine the good
effects of all the advertising you have done.
