WHEN SHOULD GIRLS MARRY?
A grandmother has undertaken to
answer the question in the headline
in a magazine article. Having had ex
perience. she thinks she knows what
she is talking about. It is her opinion
that no girl should marry before she
is 25 years old There never has been
and never can be any fixed rule for
the mating of human beings. Ages
ago parents were the sole arbiters of
the marital destinies of their daugh
ters. They gave in wedlock when and
where and to whom they pleased, and
the daughters had nothing to do with
th? bargain. The matter Is one in
which there is pretty nearly indepen
dence of thought and action on the
part of American girls. Parents maj
try as they will to shape their daugh
ters’ love affairs to conform to their
own ideas, but it is a rare case in which
they succeed—and even then success
on the part of the parents is not a
guarantee of the girl's happiness. It
has been estimated that a woman's
chances of marriage begin to d'minish
at the twenty-fourth year and decline
rapidly to the thirtieth year, when
they have almost disappeared. The
period of greatest expectation is from
19 to 23 It is between thes? periods
that the majority of women must
make up their minds, and they do it
from the dictates of the heart oftener
than from any other consideration
The frequent assertion that the soils
of the United States are w aring out
is not conceded by Prof. Milton Whit
ney. chief of the bureau of soils. Unit- j
ed States department of agriculture.
He has prepared a bulletin in which
statistics of yield since 1867 are care
fully compared, and in whi-h he ar
rives at the following conclusion: “We
are producing more crops per acre
than formerly This is undoubtedly
due to better and more intelligent cul
tivation, more and better systems of
rotation of crops and iy later years
to the intelligent use of fertilizers
through measures of control in the
hands of every Individual farmer.”
Much that has been said on the sub
ject of exhaustion of the soil was
alarming and even disheartening. That
Prof. Whitney sees no reason for a
pessimistic view is reasurring.
The bureau of statistics at Wash
ington reports an enormous increase
in building operations throughout the
country. This is another sure ndica
tion of the revival of business activity
in every direction. When financial
stress is felt the work of building is
one of the first to feel the effects.
The Washington statement shows that
the value of building permits issued in
100 of the largest cities in the United
States for the year ended July 1, 1909,
was $20,000,000 in excess of that for
the same period in 1905, when building
was at high tide. There have been no
ticeable gains in other directions, but
in building the movement appears to
be a veritable boom, owing to the de
mand for increased accommodations.
Dr. Stiles, chief government zoolo
gist, has just given advice in a de
partment bulletin for the treatment
and eradication of the “book worm” or
“lazy" disease so prevalent among the
poor whites of the southern states.
The disease produces an anaemic con
dition and an utter disinclination for
labor. Judging from the latter symp
tom, it would seem that the “lazy
■worm" does not restrict its activities
to sections south of Mason and Dix
on's line. It is hardly lese majesty
to rise up and assert that it has incu
bated in the municipal blood, in view
of the exasperating delays in various
movements planned for Philadelphia.
The sultan of Morocco’s picturesque
idea of locking the rebellious El Rhogi
in a steel cage, strapped to the back
of a swaying camel and marched, cir
cus style, through the streets in a free
parade, shows an oriental kind of hu
mor hard for the western mind to ap
preciate. So is his humorous idea of
punishment with boiling pitch in it
Somebody ought to remind him that
this is sultans’ bad day.
It requires some figuring to Bee how
a New York woman could hire out for
domestic service at $18 a month
while herself keeping a servant at
$22 a month. The answer is that she
was lifting jewelry and the like from
places where she was employed. Aft
er robbing 30 women this kitchen
itinerant has gone to a reformatory
for three years.
Germany grows about nine times as
big a potato crop as the United States,
although this country is much more
than nine times as big as Germany.
And some pessimists talk as if Amer
ica were already near the limit of its
possible food production.
The department of agriculture is
now attacking the character of cats
as rat-catchers. Their long standing
as back-fence soloists, however, is
still unquestioned by the depart
ment
The submarines are breaking rec
ords as well as the airships. Popular
travel, however, for the present is still
confined to the surface of the earth,
but is doing its best to rival the
air above and the waters under the
earth in point of peril.
There is no word in the English lan
guage that expresses the criminal de
pravity of the individual debased
enough to wreck a passenger train
laden with little children, women and
men unknown to the criminal.
PLE»
~-c*—
NOMINATED FOR MAYOR
Otto Fremont Bannard, the uepubiican candi
date for mayor of New York, is probably the
worst election campaigner ever nominated for
that office. That is said without any reflection
whatever on Mr. Bannard as a man of culture
and as an astute business man with a rare capac
ity for organization and a genius for the direc
tion of important undertakings. But he cannot
make a speech. His best friends frankly admit
he is probably the worst speechmaker in New
York.
So if he takes the stump, as mayoralty candi
dates usually do. and attempts to tell the voters
from a public platform his conception of a prop
erly governed city his well-wishers will be over
joyed if he doesn’t get into a hopeless maze of
oratorical tangles.
Bannard nas no hallucinations about himseir—or anything else, wnen
he got back from Europe a few weeks ago his closest friend, Herbert Par
sons, said to him:
“Otto, I think we ought to nominate you for mayor.”
“You had better let me alone, Herbert,” Bannard replied. "I am not a
good candidate. I can't make a speech and the people don't take kindly to
a trust company president, anyway.”
Parsons thought there was wisdom in that and did let Bannard alone
for a short time. The chairman of the Republican county committee was so
sure there would be no need to draft his friend for the mayoralty race that
he put Bannard on the committee of five to represent the Republicans in all
the conferences with the fusionists. But in the final showdown it became
necessary to drag Bannard to the front, and when he knew his nomination
was inevitable he fled to Chicago, largely to escape photographers and inter
viewers.
The Republican candidate for mayor is a tall, well-built, clean-cut man.
He is always faultlessly dressed and has the solid, substantial look of a man
affairs. In the language of humble associates on the Republican county
^mmittee he “looks like ready money.” He has light hair, streaked with
gray, blue eyes, a resolute chin and the steady, penetrating gaze of the man
who does a lot of thinking and little talking.
He is reserved in manner as well as speech. He is not a “mixer” in
the political sense, though popular among men who really know him. He
is kind-hearted and a genuine hard-luck story sends his hand into his pocket.
He is a bachelor and wealthy. As president of the New York Trust Com
pany he gets 550,000 a year, which he would be compelled to relinquish were
he elected mayor.
COMMANDED BRITISH SHIPS
Admiral Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, the
British officer who commanded the big squadron
at the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York
harbor, is one of Britain's most distinguished offi
cers. He is particularly persona grata to the
United States because he commanded American
forces as part of the allied army in the Chinese
expedition of 1900. Since 1905 he has held the
title of “admiral of the fleet," being one of the
six officers bearing that title.
The admiral bas won his title through long
and arduous service. Though the son of a clergy
man, he comes of a line of seadogs and is the
grandson of a baron who won his honors in naval
service.
Entering the navy in 1852, Sir Edward, at the
age of 12, first saw service in the Crimean war.
ne was active in me oomDarament oi uaessa, Deing praisea ior nis coolness
under fire. For bravery at the shelling of Sebastopol and Kinburn and his
conduct in the war generally be won a medal and clasp.
In 1837 he saw service in the Chinese war, being present at the destruc
tion of the Chinese flotilla and at the capture of Canton and the Peiho forts.
He next was engaged in operations against the Chinese rebels in 1862 and
at the age of 26 became a commander.
Wounded while aiding to suppress piracy in the Congo river, he was pre
vented from taking part in the Nares Arctic expedition.
He again distinguished himself in the Egyptian war of 1882 and in 1887
was made aide-de-camp to the queen.
As ccmmander-in-chief on the China station from 1898 to 1901 Admiral
Seymour led the allied expedition against the Chinese in 1900. Thus he was
one of the few foreign officers who have commanded a body of American
sailors and marines under fire. His conduct on that memorable occasion won
praise from the several nations directly interested. It is said that one of
Emperor William's favorite paintings is that showing Sir Edward, in a hotly
contested engagement on the road to Peking, giving the command, "Germans
to the front!” ,
FROM BARON TO A COUNT
In raising the Austrian foreign minister, Alois
von Aehrenthal, from the rank of baron to that of
count. Emperor Francis Joseph marks his appre
ciation of the minister’s services in bringing
about the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Not many months ago Baron Aehrenthal was one
)f the most abused men in Europe. He was ac
cused of the basest treachery in regard to his
dealings with his diplomatic colleagues and was
even said to have lied direct to more than one
ambassador in Vienna. Recent diplomatic disclo
sures have shown, however, that in this much
vexed question of the Bosnian annexation Aus
tria's hand was forced by the precipitate action
of the crafty Prince Ferdinand in declaring the
independence of Bulgaria, and that the Viennese
statesman was not to blame as much as had h»en
too hastily assumed. Of course in Austria-Hungary, after the annexation had
been peaceably accomplished, Aerenthal was the hero of the hour and his
advance in rank has long been prophesied.
Count Aohrenthal has made a rapid rise. To be ambassador at St.
Petersburg at 38 and foreign minister at 48 is not given to many diplomats
Aehrenthal has always been a diplomat. He began his career at 26 as an
attache of the embassy in Paris and went from there to St. Petersburg.
Next he spent some years in the foreign office in Vienna and then went back
to St. Petersburg as councilor of embassy. After that he was minister at
Bucharest and a year later went again to Russia, this time as ambassador.
He is clever and hard-working, too. His predecessor. Count Goluchowski,
was a more brilliant statesman, but is 6S.id not to have loved hard work.
As aristocratic ancestors go in the dual monarchy, Count AehrenthaPs
family is by no means an ancient one. In the middle of the eighteenth cen
tury the Lexas. which is AehrenthaPs family name, were merely respectable
citizens of Prague. Then came a certain Johann Anton Lexa with a genius
for finance and he made a lot of money by starting an insurance company
in Bohemia against damage from fire, floods and weather catastrophes in
general. The institution flourished and Johann bought lands and became
a country gentleman. He was ennobled by the king of Bavaria and later
received a Bohemian title. His grandson, Johann Baptiste, was one of the
richest landed proprietors in Bohemia, but was not otherwise prominent.
He left three sons, the second of whom is the present minister of foreign
affairs for Austria-Hungary.
HEADED "DRY39 PARADE
mnai) cuuuuveisy oi consiaeraDie magni
tude is growing out of the action of Gen. Freder
ick Dent Grant in leading the temperance parade
in Chicago in the uniform of the United States
army.
Following the letter written to Secretary of
War Dickinson by W. R. Michaelis, an official of
the United Societies for Local Self-Government,
in which he severely criticised Gen. Grant’s ac
tion and demanded to know what stand the war
department would take in the matter, two ardent
temperance workers came to the defense of the
assailed officer.
Dr. H. C. Newton, secretary of the temperance
J and law enforcement parade committee and A. P.
Ballou of the Hamilton club are the men who
J take issue with Mr. Michaelis. They also wrote
ieu:ers 10 secretary uicainson declaring mat air. Michaelis had exaggerated
the facts and asserting that Gen. Grant deserved honor for the stand he took
and the example he set to the rising generation.
Mr. Ballou claims that the parade was not a partisan demonstration, as
Mr. Michaelis asserts, and that men of all parties marched in it. He also
denies that Gen. Grant wore the full uniform of a United States army officer,
and says his act could not he taken as other than that of a private citizen
who desired to lend his personal influence to a movement Chicago peculiarly
needs.
Gen. Grant contends that he had the right to appear to the parade in
his uniform.

THE WHEAT FIGURES.
Nebraska Crop Estimated at 53,030,000
Bushels.
Statistics compiled by the state la
bor bureau show that the total pro
duction of wheat in Nebraska this
year was 50,370.000 bushels. This is
almost equal to the banner year, 1902,
when 50,500,000 bushels were pro
duced, and a little in excess of the
yield of 1901. when the total was
50,200,000. The labor bureau report
shows a production of 40.500,000 bush
els of winter wheat this year and the
yield averaged 20.13 bushels to the
acre. The government report gives
the average yield at 14.9 bushels. A
total of 3,870,000 bushels of spring
wheat was raised, the average yield
being 14.99 bushels to the acre. The
total yield of wheat in Nebraska last
year was 43,840,000, according to the
state labor bureau. There were 41,
000,000 bushels of winter wheat and
the average yield per acre was 16.99.
The total yield of spring wheat was
2,840,000 and the average yield per
3acre was 13.98 bushels.

To Dissolve Merger.
County Attorney Tyrrell began pro
ceedings before the state railway com
mission. the object and purpose being
to dissolve the merger of the Lin
coln Traction company and the Citi
zens’ Railway company, which was
consummated February 3, last; the

Commercial Clubs Has Surplus.
A surplus of nearly $5,000 in the
treasury of the Lincoln Commercial
club was shown by the annual cash
statement of Secretary Whitten laid
efore the directors. Three years
ago the organization was struggling
along under serious handicap for lack
of funds. At one time it was neces
sary for some of the leading members
to give their personal notes at a bank
for $1,500 to pay the current expenses
of the club. During the last year the
general fund has been swelled about
$2,750. Contributions to the conven
tion fund made during the last year
aggregated in the neighborhood of
$7,000. Some firms which derive di
rect benefit from conventions held
here have not so far subscribed to
this fund, but it Is hoped to secure
them, as well as others which indi
rectly profit from the gatherings held
in Lincoln.
