Service of thr, Betailer.
During the week a lecturer addressed a gath
ering of retail merchant in a Nebraska town
and comforted them with the statement that
they were actually performing a service to
society. This rame with something akin to
shock to the men who have, become accustomed
to being told by economists they art parasite
and barnacles on commerce. , But the lecturer
waa right. The retailer perform a distinct and
valuable service to society, and bis function la
as essential to well-balanced existence as any
other factor in distribution.
One of the pet illustration of amateur
economist Is to map the course of any article
from producer to consumer, showing how many
hands take profit from it a it passe along,
steadily growing In price, until It I enhanced
t-everal times beyond what the maker or grower
received. This ia convincing until the listener
elves a little analytical thought to the proposi
tlon, and then the real use of the retailer be
come apparent. The "middleman" of today ie
an evolutionary product of the "storekeeper" of
other days, on of the product of a society that,
It it Is bo more complex, I at least more closely
interwoven In the relation of It several parts.
And the retailer who p.ovide roor of conveni
ence and I of greater assistance to tt comfort
of bi customer Is th on who gets the trade.
This, also, is a part of our modem life, a natural
trcompajniment of general advance.
And tt retailer 1 entitled to reasonable
:cmpenaatloB for tbo service be performs, and
!hla must come in tbe Increased cost of living.
It Is natural, and fto matter how much It may be
railed at by those who only think they think, It

Upholding; Professional Standards.
The exhaustive report of the Committee on
Academic Freedom and Academic Tenure, which
bas gone into it subject with car and thor
oughness for th American Association of Uni
versity Professor, sets up a strong case against
the controt of professional teaching and utter
ance by the lay trustees or financial sponsors of
our colleges and nnlvereltlcs. The committee,
however, tnakea it plain that academic freedom
does not mean academic l'cense, nor that Indi
vidual teachers should be free from all restraint
as to their speech and conduct either within or
without tbe univeralty. "There may, undoubt
edly, aria occaalonal cases," It says, "in which
the aberrations of Individuals may require to be
checked by definite disciplinary action." But
it Insists "such action cannot with safety be
taken by bodies not composed of members of
tbe academic profession." '
If w understand th report correctly, there
is no dissent from tbe proposition that certain
standards must be upheld for university and
college teachers, but that the responsibility for
upholding them belonge primarily on the teach
ers themselves. This 1 very well so far as If
goes, and applies equally to other profession.
There must be standard of conduct and practice
for lawyers, for doctors, for engineers, for archi
tects, for specialists and expert of all kinds,
but they themselves ought to see to their en
forcement by self-discipline. Unfortunately,
they do not always do this, it being common
knowledge tbst shyster lawyers, quack doctors,
fake engineer and Incompetent architects, . as
wall a false teacher, are countenanced and
allowed to go their way without Interference of
their professional associates, despite the dis
credit they bring upon their calling. Sometimes
the members of a profession do not agree upon
what tbe standard should be, but more ususlly
their Inaction is merely th result of Inertia and
a desire to avoid unpleasantness. Reputable
members of all profession should understand
that Just so fr as they prescribe high standards
and maintain tbem will th profession be ac
corded a standing in th popular mind, aal Just
o far will it command th recognition that I
due from the public.
" Nebraska Needs a Kew State House.
. The Be ha several time in recent year
suggested th necessity of a new building for
tbe accommodation of th several department
of Its government at bur Nebraska state capital.
Plan for th new state bouse have now and then
been tentatively considered, but definite action
ha so far been postponed. Developments, or
rather decay, baa proceeded to a point where It
will soon be Imperative that something be don
to provide th building that i so sadly needed.
The present structure la more and more showing
th effect of time. It was not well planned in
th beginning, and It present dilapidation 1 a
reproach to a wealthy and progressive stat.
Our capitol building cannot compare In any par
ticular with the Douglaa county court bouse,
while many other Nebraska countlea have better
buildings for their officers than bas th state.
The time is propitious for th presentation of a
deflnlt project for a new stat house to the
people, Just a a business proposition.
Our National Pastime.
On pastime in particular is peculiarly Amer
ican, and is never out of seaaon. Several varie
ties of gsme of chance or skill, outdoor and In
door sports, have been denominated th "na
tional" pastime, but each of these is mor or
less sectional in it nature, or exclusive In it
devotees, so that it falls Just a little abort of
being truly national. On diversion does exist
in which all tak part, which know bo east, no
west, no north, bo couth, against which neither
winter cold nor summer beat prevails, and to
which no eight-hour schedule bas ever been
attached. It la th gam of talking about our
public affair.
W bar but on thing In common -th pro
pensity of boasting of our devotion to our coun
try and it unparalleled greatness. Oa this we
ars agreed, oa verrthlcg els we are divided
into almost ss many separate entitle" a w
number Individual. Now and again two or
three may seem to approach agreement on some
topic of publio concern, but It soon develop the
unity of purpose ia mor apparent than real. It
Is th on grand tribute to our Institution and
their efficacy that free speech and freedom of
thought I thus universally manifest.
This great national pastlm wa never mor
splendidly followed than tt Is Just bow, wba
th really serious question of practical mean
for defense of tb country against possible
attack Is presented for consideration. But our
devotion to tb (port rf talking bss one redeem
ing feature. Out of all th confusion comes la
tim action, and comfort 1 found la th thought
that la good season omethtng will be don.
Grind Opera and the People.
Do th popl want music of the higher
grade, such as grand opera? Two answers to
this question ar immediately presented. Ia
Chicago the ten weeks' season of grand opera
aa conducted there, baa Just terminated with a
deficit of 1100,000, which la cheerfully mad up
by subscriptions from wealthy muslo lover. Ia
Omaha a three-day season has Just ended, with
bo deficit, and with a well pleased company of
promoters and patron, who hop to see th va
tur repeated gala next season. Three days
ia Omaba is not quit qual to sixty days la Chi
cago, nor were tb operas presented her with
tb asm lavishnss a characterised tb produc
tion in th larger city. Nor did tb singers
who were listened to at th Auditorium here
take rank in public estimation with tb high
priced song birds who warbled for tb Chicago
ese. And, by that earn token, tb ticket prices
were not eo high, either.
Tbe Omaha teat i probably tb fairer, for tt
waa mad under condition that mor truly rep
resented th aspiration of th public for th
high class music. Th operas werw wall pre
sented, the music waa beautifully displayed and
th appeal to the Intellect a well as tb senses
wss direct and potent. It was at prlree th
people could meet, and, therefore, waa a auceesa.
And no musical critic In bis right mind will say
the difference in price was fully represented in
the d Iff err lie in the talent of the eingers.

TASTE for and appreciation of art la something; that
haa to be cultivated; amd the only way to product
art-lovers Is to give people plenty f oppor
tunities to sea an study raat work of art. Few
realise what has beea accomplished in developing the
artistic taate rt-ht here In Omaha by euch art ex
hlbltlona aa those that are promoted by the Society of
Fine Arts, which pursue it object with persistency
end with comparatively little ostentation. To develop an
art center takes time and must have something to
build on and, fortunately for Omaha, the beginning
of our art culture were laid ton ao.
The first art exhibition I Omaha that I remember
waa what wa called "The Art Ioe.o," conducted a
a benefit for seme church er charity, end hald In the
old Christian church, a, brick structure with larc as
sembly room, located en Seventeenth street betwen
Dodge and Capitol avenue. All the homes of Omahe'e
beet famllla were ransacked for art treasures, wntch
were borrowed and assembled and spread out to an ad
miring public. It waa In truth an eye-opener even to
our own people te discover, by this partial Inventory,
how many art possession we bad accumulated with
out reallslnf it The paintings and other pictures were
rather heterogeneous, and I have no doubt the hang
ing commit tea had its troubles, euch aa are en
countered by all banting committees, only many fold
Increased by the neceaalty of considering the feelings
and social preatlge of the owners of the borrowed
article as wall aa their intrinsic merit The exhibition
however, was not confined to plcturee, but Included
bric-a-brac, bronse, china, antiques, and heirlooms ef
various kinds. My recollection leaves me uncertain
whether or not a department was lert for patch-work
quilts and fancy needlework, but nothing that aspired
to be known aa art waa Intentionally neglected. ' One
of the features of "The Art Loan" as I recall, waa a
game of chess, played with living cheaaroen en a chess
board chalked out on the floor, over which two sets
of living figures, posed by boys and girls In costume,
ware moved about from square to square enttl retired
out of play, to correspond with the moves ef the Ivory
pieces In a regular ches game played by two of the
moat skillful amateurs. Despite Its crudeness and
entertainment features "The Art Loan" gave a notice
able Impetus at the time te the art activities of the
community.
The art shlMtlea that gave Omaha greatest
publicity a art center, perhaps I should say
notoriety, wa th en that culminated In the mutila
tion ef one ef Bougnereau's best canvases by a mortals
erased fanatle burling a chair through It Th poor
fallow wa possessed with the Idea that the artist's
portrayal ef the nude was altogether too realistic. 1
was away from home at the time so that my knowl
edge of the affair la wholly from hearsay and from
the accounts In the papera, which everywhere put
Omaha on the art map with serious er satirical dis
cussions of this startling manifestation of apprecia
tion of great painting. "The Return ef Aprlng," xor
such wss the title, waa patched up and returned tn
the spring to tbe owner, but not without entailing a
law suit ever disputed responsibility for the damages.
This art exhibit waa held In the store building at
Thirteenth and Harney, previously been occupied by
a wholesale grocery house that had shortly before
removed to larger quarters.
Omaha art levers have many creditable picture
In their collection which outsiders seldom see. I
referred not long ago to the contents of the old Col
lins house, gathered togsther from the nooks and
corners ef Burope, The Unlnger collection, aa every
one who haa seen It knows, Includes net a few real
gems, and several noteworthy canvasses hung en the
walla of Happy Hollow whan the ratrlcka lived thsre.
We have, furthermore a tolerably good start of a
municipal art gallery In eur public library building,
dating back to exposition days when the exposition
company bought several ef the prise-winning exhibits
In the art section and donated them to the city. It ?(
only a question of time when we will have a municipal
art gallery worthy ef the name, which In due time
will be the residuary legatee of whatever of artlstle
worth has been centered here.
It Is reassuring to be told that I hit th target at
least once In a while as la the following from the
Western laborer:

With light like the light in the eye yoa
love;
Same old round e' the rosy years;
Same old eorrowe you see through teera;
Jame old road, and same old race
To run with a dream of the Farewell
Place.
O the wraith-folk riae and dare the sarlea
To match their lire where the lightning
flies:
And you hear the loud war-thunder beat
'Till they shake tbe graves at a war
king's feet;
And the paths of human life are crossed
Where the Rachels weep for their chil
dren lost;
Fame old road where the burdened raoe
Take teara and dreams to the Farewell
Place. f
And with right and wrong we press along
From night to the dream of a morning
eong;
Fame sad story of sorrows old;
Same sweet Joya that the heart would
hold;
And the wounded breast still sighs for
reel
And rest comes sweet when God thinks
best;
And we glimpse the light of the morning's
face
At the shining gates ef the Farewell
Place.
