JANUARY CIRCULATION.
Another Child to Train.
The fritted. States has formally assumed a
protectorate over Haiti, a course which will
finally bring to an end the turbulence and
bloodshed which has been tbe story of that
beautiful Isle for centuries. In this course tbo
government is but completing the work it benan
when it put the republic of San Domlnso on a
stable basts. Since Tounnaint 1'Overtnre In
1797 overturned the French government in the
Island, massacred tbe whiten and set up a negro
republic, the western end, known as Haiti, has
been the scene of an unending disturbance, In
which murder has been the moat common fac
tor. The negroes have retrograded in spite of
their freedom, because of Inefficient control,
and are now but little removed from savagery.
By reason of Its periodic political upheavals It
has been the source of considerable annoyance
to the t'nlted States, under the Monroe doctrine,
because of Its lack of responsibility.
From the time of Grant's first term tbe
question of control of the Island has been seri
ously before each succeeding administration.
This finally culminated In the establishment of
a protectorate over San Domingo, under which
the Involved affairs of that little republic have
been brought to an orderly condition, and the
difficulties are being surely cleared up. With
Haiti under similar control, the conditions In
the island ought to be reduced to peaceful sys
tem, whereby Its Inhabitants will enjoy life as
they never have.
Uncle 8am has again assumed the "white
man's burden," and will bring order and safety
to a submerged people. It Is part of tbe mis
sion of this nation. All the world has profited
by what wa have done In San Domingo and else
where, and will be gainer still further by what
we will do in Haiti.
Tale of the Totem Pole
Time for Another Police Dragnet.
What Omaha needs most right now is a thor
ough application of the police dragnet on all
the known crooks and suspicious characters who
might have a hand In the crime revival from
which we are suffering. Not that Omaha Is
different from other large cities In this respect,
for all of them have periodic waves of lawless
ness, but it Is at JuBt such times that the police
must show they mean business If the activities
of the hold-ups and burglars are to be stopped.
Tbe fact that our city Is still without a work
bouse, as a consequence makes hoboes and
members of the thieving profession feel that
they can get off easy here with at most nothing
worse than a rest cure In a fine modern Jail.
It Is this condition that keeps Omaha , on the
map for strangers whose company we would
gladly dispense with. We must remember, too,
almost all of the recent crimes whose perpetra
tors have been caught trace down to outsiders
who have come here rather than to local char
acters whom the police are supposed to know
and to watch. A round-up of all suspicious vis
itors who cannot give a satisfactory explanation
of their presence and purposes here, therefore,
would be timely as an effective measure of pre
caution and prevention.
Henry James and Literature.
The death of Henry James will very likely
receive more attention In America because of
his recent act of expatriation than for any of
bis extensive contributions to published litera
ture. His chief characteristic aa a writs r was
In his avoidance of the common forma of flo
tton, a course which brought to him the devo
tion of a small group of followers, but shut him
out from the masses. It Is not to his discredit
in the least that he eschewed the "best seller"
type of novel, for In that he lifted himself above
cheapness; It waa his adherence to personal
views, seldom understood, that gave him a dis
tinction In literature and whatever of vogue he
achieved. Hailed by his cult as the greatest of
modern novelists, his works are little read out
side of a narrow circle of cognoscenti, yet have
a value in that the student of the future will
find In them much of detail of the life of James'
day deemed inconsequential by his contempo
raries. It was Henry James' renunciation of Amer
ican citizenship thai got him most attention, al
though It was generally commented on with
more of Indifference than as a matter of real
moment. He had lived in England for many
years, holding there whatever of popularity
came to him as a writer, and when the war
broke out be became naturalised aa a British
subject, seeking thereby to show his adherence
to the British formula of democracy rather
than a recantation of American ideas. This
one action fairly illustrates the life of tbe man
who would not strive for popularity at the ex
pense of his convictions, a firmness of char
acter that will more nearly hold for him the
regard of the public than anything he ever
wrote.

Little That's Warlike in This.
From New York comes word that the cus
toms house In that city looks like a dress
maker's display room, while the inspectors are
overwhelmed with the work of valuing gowns
and dresses and other articles of feminine ap
parel. Shipload after shipload of finery from
Paris is arriving at port and is being checked
through customs as fast aa possible, that our
women folks may have the latest from the
world's capital of fashion. The war's embargo
hasnt checked the Influx of finery in the least,
nor does the thunder of the fighting at Verdun
seriously retard the output of the Parisian
shops. Battle tides may ebb and flow, hut the
American woman will yet have that with
which to deck herself, and the Easter parade
will be as gay as ever. It is noteworthy, too,
that the United States is about the only great
country In which this Indulgence Is possible.
Peace certainly has Ha advantages.
A defense corps of 600 men Is in active

landers to action. With Hoboken adequately
prepared the rest of the country may take its

rp HH enormoue popularity of movies la an outgrowth
J. of one of the atrongeat InaUncta of aavages-the
love of seeing stories and traditions represented in
Imagea and pictures, fiomotlmea the savage supplies,
aa well aa he can. the element of motion by having
his Images carried about In procession. But he It
well content If ho can have the pictured atoriea alwaya
In some conspicuous place before his eyes. The totem
pole offer, an opportunity for pictorial representation
that haa been rully Improved among some of the
Alaska Indian tribes The carved poles, as Lieuten
ant George T. Binmons points out in the Anvrican
Museum Journal, preserve not only legends and tra
ditions, but muc, of the life history of the tribes.
Very Interesting la the work of the Tslmahian In
dians, who seem to posseaa a particular degree of
skill, and whose artists have sometimes been cm
ployed by other neighboring tribes. Lieutenant Em
mons says: "These stories told In wood go back to
tha time when mem and anlmala were supposed to
be very cloae to one another, when they Inter-marrled.
and saw each ether under a spell of witchery that
made all appear human, except that the anlmala wore
ooata of fur which they could, at will, remove and ap
pear In human form , or put on and become as ani
mals." Some of the wooden columns contain several atorVs
told in carved figures, which record no lees than fou-
stories, which could be read, no doubt with great do
light and wonder, by the savagea to whom the tray
dltiona and the aymbollo figures were familiar. Simi
lar poles may be Been lit the American Museum of
Natural History.
These atorles as Interpreted by an old Indian to
Lieutenant Emmons are full of Imaginative power,
and as good, In their way, as the legenda of any other
prlmWva races, and not Inferior to some of the ''folk
stories" that we have all of ua listened to with de
light when we were children. For Instance, take this
story of the mountain goats:
A long time ago. when the Kitksan tribe lived on
the upper Hkeena river, "before the great cold." which
dispersed them, they used to go, after the end of the
salmon aeason. to a great mountain, where they
hunted mountain goats. On one of these occasions,
when there waa a great alaughter of goats, a young
man who had taken some red point along to patnt
hla arrows for good luck, caught a kid whose life he
spared, aettlng It free after having painted its horns
red
The next spring two white-blanketed strangera ep
peared In the village, who excused themselves for re
fusing the hospitable offers of the Indians to feast
on goata flesh and other food, but who very cor
dially Invited the whole community to visit their (tho
strangera') villages, offering to serve as guides.
The Invitation waa accepted, and the next morn
ing everybody set out under the lead of the atrangera.
They croased the river and climbed the great moun
tain until they reached what seemed to be a broad,
level place. In the midst of which stood a feast-house.
The visitors enjoyed a great banquet, and then
the chief of their hoeta began to dance and sing,
strangely repeating the worde: "I am shaking my
hoofs over the mountain side," and at that the rock
seemed to open and close again. But the Indians
thought It was all maglo Intended for their entertain
ment, and when night came on they went to sleep
on the outer edge of the platform on benches pre
pared for them.
But the young man who had spared the kid waa
drawn aside by a young atranger, who had his tace
painted red, and who asked him to share his sleep
ing bench on the other side of the platform.
In the middle of the night the strangers rose In
silence and pushed their visitors over the precipice,
and they were dashed to pieces. Only the young man
waa spared, and In the morning when he became
aware of tha sad fate of his friends his protector as
sured him that he need have no fear, and. taking oft
his shoes, which seemed to be hoofs, and putting
them on the young hunter's feet, told him to Jump
fearlessly from cliff to cliff In, descending the moun
tain, and whan he reached the base to take oft the
shoes and leave them In a certain place where their
owner could find them again.
A notable point In this story Is the reference to
"the great cold" which In anolent times bad dispersed
ths peopl. Here seems to be a surviving tradition
which may run back to an unknown antiquity In the
history of that part of tbe world, preserving a dim
momory of some extensive and disastrous climatla
change.

Problem of Farm Life.
LOO MI, Neb, Feb. 29. To the Editor
of The Bee: There Is an American farm
problem. It la not. as Is sometimes as
serted, the task of Increasing the fertil
ity, of the soil, forests and oVher natural
resources. Neither is It the problem of
making country life more easy and com
fortable, though this In a degree Is de
sirable. These are all constituents, but
not the real problem. The most serious
condition of the present country life Is
the silent but startling migration of tho
rural population toward the towns and
cities.
The problem of keeping the youth of
the present generation on the farm and
preparing them for country life In Its
fullest and richest sense Is an Issue of
fundamental Importance to our national
welfare. By this It Is not Implied that
all the children born on the farm should
stay there. Few fallacies could be more
wasteful and destructive of human ef
ficiency than this. In this age of spe
cialists country children should be al
lowed to enter the so-called "trades and
professions" If so Inclined. Tet at the
same time adequate care must be given
those who remain on the land. If we
are to maintain an efficient class of cltl
sens In our rural communities and desir
able averages In our national life.
One factor largely responsible for the
tremendous migration from the rural
community to the town and city -Is the
school. With proper supervision snd In
charge of teachers deeply In sympathy
with country life, it may be rejuvenated
and enlivened. Interest may be created
by the achool that will tend to lead back
to the farm and not away from It.
When country schools become efficient
centers of learning. Instructing children
In terms of country life and pointing the
way to community prosperity and coun
try welfare, moving to town wilt de
crease smong farmers and the "farm
problem" will be near solution.
The greatest single need for Improve
ment of country life at the present time,
therefore. Is a corps of teachers, prop
erly prepared, who will enter the pres
ent rural schools and, through vitalized
teaching an dtactful social leadership,
convert them Into living centers for the
Instruction of children and the upbuild
ing of community and country life.
The well trained country school
teacher needs a deep, appreciative in
sight Into the problems of country life,
and an exalted faith In country children,
the Innate beauty of country life, and Its
final triumph. U E. PETERSON.
