RISE AND FALL OF A PROPHET.
Coue, who came in with the roar of a lion, goes
out with something that sounds remarkably like a
bray. Welcomed to America as the exponent of a
philosophy of health, he completes a brief tour and
turns to writing articles on such stale and common
place subjects as who rules the American home.
Thus doea the skillful Frenchman fall into the
common temptation of all transatlantic celebrities
who, after spending a few weeks in the trains, ho
tels and lecture halls of the country, forget their
original mission and turn joyfully to the self im
posed task of interpreting Americans to themselves.
Margot Asquith. W. L. George, Arnold Bennett and
H. G. Wells and many other noted figures have felt
the same unconquerable urge, just as years ago did
Charles Dickens
Of what possible benefit can it be to be told by
Coue, whose claim to fame rests on his exposition
of mental healing, that American women have his
respectful admiration, that they boss the home,
that they arc well read and that he enjoys talking
to them? Even though he remarks that western j
women are more stem, harsh and narrow and lack j
the polish of their eastern sisters, there is not likely
to be much heart searching or even resentment in 1
Nebraska. And this not entirely because monsieur
did not travel west of Chicago, but that if he had,
his impressions would have been of no particular
worth or importance. Consider, for example his
remarkable discovery that all working girls buy
motor cars and that none of them saves any money.
Why should Americans be expected to hang
eagerly on the observations of foreigners concern
ing our life and manners? At an early period in
our national existence we were horribly self-con
scious and always were anxious to know just what
strangers thought of us. That time is gone, but
the fact that the flow of comment from foreign ob
servers is unabated indicates that they regard us
still as inclined not to be sure of ourselves—men
tally crude and gullible to boot. There has been
enough change in national characteristics, however,
that we do not become puffed up over the crumbs
of compliments from overseas nor hopelessly cast
down by criticism.
Interested audiences filled the lecture halls to
hear Coue expound his theories of health, just as
they flocked to listen to Conan Doyle speak on spir
itualism and to Hugh Walpole's talks on literature.
.Each in his field is entitled to thoughtful considera
tion, for years of study and experimentation are
back of them. But with a few weeks' casual ob
servation not one of these visitors is qualified to
comment intelligently or to any purpose on the in
ward or outward significance of American life.
Coue was received as a prophet; he shows himself
now to have been a publicist instead.
MAKING THE GRADE FINALLY.
A little sermon may be extracted from the ex
perience of a Colorado man who is attending the
Kansas university this winter. The catch in this is
that this particular student in the engineering course
is 81 years old.
Fifty years ago he was a member of the class
of 1873, the first to be sent out from the halls of
“K. U.” He had taken all the work set down for
the engineer students, but got restless and left
school. Since then he has done little but engineer’s
work. He has made a reputation for himself, has
accumulated a competency, and has not worked
hard for some time. Leisure brought with it a
longing for something he had missed, it seems, and
now he is back, digging away to make the grade he
stopped at fifty years ago. In June he will get n
diploma, and will become a graduate member of
his univeraity class.
A woman of 72 la taking work at the University
of Nebraska this winter, striving to satisfy a thirst
for knowledge ahe never had time to queneh during
a busy Ufa. Other instances might be eited, but
these are enough to support the point.
The human mind is curious, it wants to find out,
to know, and when It has pulled one thing to pieces
and discovered Its secret, it takes up another and
re peats the process. Thus is progress made. The
Colorado man won fair suecesa without the
“B. Be." ha is about to get from Kansas Yet he
wants that, not to appease his vanity,*hut to quiet
something that hae reproached him ever since he
left school with hia work undone.
IF THE “SNORT-WAGON” HAD STAYED.
A veteran automobile man, looking over the city
street#, lined with cars of all sorts, mused a little
ovar the changes that have taken place within the
short apan of years since tha “horseless carriage”
first disturbed the city streets and the quiet of the
country lanes was broken by its snort. He recalled
tha offer made by John Brisben Walker of a sub
stantial bonus to the man who would produce a
machine that could be sold at around 1500; possi
bly this was the stimulus that moved Henry Ford
to accomplish his wonders, but the trend of the
general trade was to the higher priced car.
What la most responsible for the toleration of
the automobile is the muffler. Think what life in
a large city would be were this improvement still
wanting. Those who still retain the impression
created by the hark of the one cylinder motors that
used to infest the traffic lanes, or the reverberating
roar of tha two-cylinder car, whose explosions
merged Into a series of snorts, can perhaps faintly
imagine what tha pandemonium would be like if
tha exhaust of the “double six” were not subdued
in some way.
Tha city broke horse of today would no mo: '
tolerate the unmuffled motor than did his forbear
of twenty-odd years ago. If the “snort-wagon’' had
stayed, the horse would have vanished long ago, in
a streak of dust and with the wreckage of whatever
vehicle he may have been hitched to. Happily for
all hands, some genius adapted Maxim's “silencer”
to the requirements of the automobile, and the
world is busy and happy, and horns arc now required
1 o denote the* approach of a machine that oner was
xqfiuJiKvd Jin >n advance of its arrival.

COUNTRY BRED LEADERS.
T^be fact that so many of the leading men of the
cities of America were born on tho farm is fre
quently remarked. It is sometimes felt that for the
welfare of the rural communities it would be better
if so many of their best men did not move to the
centers of population. The Y. M. C. A worker who
is developing county organizations in the rural dis
tricts is raising a new crop of leaders. It is good to
see that already five Nebraska counties have organ
ized rural Y. M. C. A's.
There is no particular virtue in rural living in
itself. The environment there may encourage or dis
courage the creation of leaders, and the same thing
is true of cities One investigator. Dr. F. A. Wood,
has challenged the statement that the country pro
vides the greatest source of noted men. Analyzing
the persons listed in “Who's Who in America,” Dr.
Wood has shown that 30 per cent of them were born
in the city. This at first glnnce would seem to give
the country the advantage, but not after it is taken
into account that at the average time of their birth
only 1G per cent of the population of the nation
was to be found in the cities. He concludes that
city environments encourage talent and develop spe
cial abilities.
Dr. W. J. Spillman, on the other hand, found that
92 per cent of the presidents of the United States
were born on the farm, 91 per cent of the governors,
83 per cent of cabinet officers, 70 per cent of the
senators and 55 per cent of a list of raUway presi
dents In this case 69 persons out of each 100 prom
inent persons involved were country bred. Spillman
says that city environment may have its advantages
but the strength of good heredity gives country boys
their chance.
The city, according to another investigator, Prof.
George R. Davies, leads as a source of great men.
He goes at the thing statistically and ranks the states
according to density of population and the produc
tion of men of repute. His result is interpreted as
showing that cultural conditions rather than physical
inheritance account for the relative higher yield of
men of repute in the cities.
A genius may spring up in any spot, overcoming
every obstacle ami gaining strength from the neces
sity of meeting hardship. Great minds may even
develop apart from association with others. Yet
the quality of steady leadership comes most surely
from rightly directed study and contact with others.
The country districts will continue to provide leaders
for the cities, hut such organizations as the rural
Y. M. C. A. are needed to broaden opportunity and
train for community leadership at home
NO TIME FOR A NAPOLEON.
Omaha business men who heard Theodore H. Price
t>peak on the world outlook were given much to think
about. No part of his address was more carefully
regarded than that in which he discussed the possible
outcome of the French reparations drive on Germany.
As a student of finance he expressed the opinion that
France would never be able to collect the sums de
manded in anything but stage money, and that the
cost of the military occupation would greatly exceed
the returns.
For his information on the German point of view
he relied on the opinion of a prominent German edi
tor who is now traveling incognito in America, a man
said to be in the confidence of the Berlin government
This man was confident that the Germans would not
resort to violence against the French, because they
realize they have not the power. Nor would they
accept the aid of soviet Russia. They are looking for
a change in French public opinion to overthrow Poin
care. Then they expect a new Napoleon to arise who
will endeavor to subjugate central Europe to the
French arms. At that point they expect England and
America, and perhaps some of the other powers, to
intervene.
Mr. Price confessed that this founded at first
rather fantastic, but said that as he reread the his
tory of the French he had become convinced that im
perialistic ideals had influenced a great many of the
actions of that rgee. Hie declaration that the French
republic is autocratic instead of democratic in its con
trol is true, but only time will show whether the people
themseives are so mesmerized with thoughts of mili
tary glory to give the necessary popular backing to a
Napoleonic campaign.
No one knows what the end of this adventure in
the Ruhr will be, but for all that, the German people
seem to be just as confident as the French of a satis
factory outcome, ferta n standards of humanity are
pretty solidly upheld by modern world opinion. If
any latter day Napoleon unsheathes the sword in
Europe, he will find himself a moral outlaw, des
tined for nothing greater than St. Helena.
On* of th* moat sensible proposal* hefor* th*

vorce springs ofttimes from easy marriage.

TailorMade Athlete*.
From tho St. Lout* Olobo-Democrst.
The Merchant Tailor Designers’ as- !
soclation, having Just concluded grave ,
and lengthy, deliberations In tills city, |
announce that they have reached an
agreement on the most vital question
that entered into their discussions.
The question relate*! to tho wearing
apparel of the American business
man. According to l ho terms of the
agreement, as duly recorded in the re
port of the fimhipr. committee, tho
business man is. in effr« t. an athlete.
Tho tailors will therefore endeavor
to produce an athletic effect in their
handiwork, so that the business man
may cut as heroic a figure as any
youth who ever strove for the laurel
tn an Olympiad. '
Now', some may thing that n* an
athlete the business man is a misfit. !
That does not make a particle of dif j
ferenee to the tailors, In any such !
case, it would be a very simple mat- ;
ter for them to make the necessary
alterations. Even the business mail .
himself, although confident that his
own dimensions are as athletic us I
those of any prize fighter who ever I
stt-pped over the ropes, may be in 1
doubt about the physical proportions
of his business associates, and won
der if these various and sundry pro
portions are all. in very truth, ath- ;
letic. Here, again, tiler* Is no reason j
for doubt, since it is a matter which, j
once and for all. lias been decided by
tho tailors. They have laid down the
simple proposition that the business
man. w hether he knows it or not. and
even though his appearance may now
indicate that he is not in training, is
an athlete, and upon this proposition
they will draw their patterns during
the current year. It may require
some slight expansion <-r contraction,
depending upon individual measure
ments. for the business men to adjust
themselves to this situation, but this
adaptation will not be painful. The
tailors, determin'd as they are to see
ell business men fitted in athletic
clothes, and fitted perfectly, do not
Intend to imitate Procrustes. In some
manner unexplained they will make
the clothes fit the man, Instead of 1
making the man fit the clothes.
May good luck betide the tailors
throughout the ensuing year. No one
, wishes to discourage \u m In their at
tempt to prove that every business
man is an athlete, and least of all
the business man himself. Yet ther*
are physical obstacle*, in the form of
protruding waistline*, lean shank*
and other arbitrary dispositions of I
the human anatomy, which mint be
overcome. Rut the tailors say that \
business men are athletic, and tailors
are honorable men. In attempting
to demonstrate th» truth of that as
sertion, they are undertaking a su
premely difficult task, however and I
should have the good wishes of all
..-uricernud.

Takes Exception to Attack on Ooue.
Hartlngton, Neb.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: Becoming modesty ;
i suggests that some one better quaji- |
' lied on the subject of psycho therapy j
i be left to reply to tho letter of Mr.
Woodruff in the ‘ People's Voice" |
column. Hut possibly my hint will
call attention to his leiter of some
one who is hotter qualified.
11 is probable that Mr. Woodruff's
tirade is inspired by the work the
French gentleman is dfiing in this
country in teaching and stimulating
the practice of autosuggestion as a
health agent. Of courts, Mr. Wood
ruff should know that ho is way be
hind in liis i riticism. Auto-suggestion
is far from new as n therapeutic ;
agent. It is as old as history, always
was, and is more and more practiced j
by every school of physician*. And i
today one can hardly listen to a con
versation by a bunch of Intelligent j
laymen where the discussion of sick- I
ness is up that the system of psycho j
therepy, in some of p* forms, is not ;
being advanced.
Mr. Woodruff states that it is bias- '
fumy against Jesus to say that ifs
employed thi i nee of suggestion in i
j the healing of the sick, There is i
nothing more scientific in the history !
of action or ideas than the work and
teaching of Jesus. The strength slid
beauty of hi* life and teaching lie ;
In the fact that Ilu-y can not be over- j
thrown by science. Korns of His work j
and some of His teachings were in j
advance of anything science has get j
produced: but science is continually j
growing up to It, an the knowledge .
of men more nearly approach the !
knowledge of Jesus. When HI* disci i
lilcs marveled at His works He told
them: "The works that I do ye *liall '
do, and grouier work* than these !
shall ye do because I go to the 1
Father. ' If there wa* any greater
curative power in suggestion in the i
practice of Jesus Iliad there is today, I
it lay in the Master Mind of the sug
ge#t*r and not in the difference in
suggestion.
All systems of psy.ho therapy,
whether it lie called the "th# miracles
of Christ. ' auto suggestion, Christian
Science, new thought, or other-wise. !*
iwised upon the creative power of the
mind, the influence of mind ovtr
body.
All mental healing Is ptoduced by '
•elf mental action, hut autosugges
tion is secondary or responsive; if !
always is preceded by the suggestion
1 a second party or outside agent.
Whatever the system of therapy be,
the better the physPian is aide to
control the anion of the mind* oC ‘
the patient, the mor - successful will
the case be. W. M WARD.

Savings Develop Leadership
OL NG men
■* or young t
women who sys- y
tematically save
from childhood f
acquire confi
dence and de- i
velop leadership
that would be im
possible without n
this training. i
Aside from the «
value of the sav*
mgs themselves, the acquisition of the savings
habit, together with the special ability it develops,
is well worth while
I his bank takes more than the ordinaly interest
in the accounts of young men and young women
It is a source of great satisfaction to note the
success of many young people who began their
financial career by opening a modest savings
account
