The Graft Microbe.
One of the sad fncts tlmt have
been brought to notice in connec
tion with the discovery of grafting -
ing in the agricultural department
is the prevalence of speculation
and other forms of gambling
among the government clerks at
Washington. A year ago a dis
covery cf the same nature was
made concerning the clerks in the
treasury department , and vigorous
measures were taken at that time
10 check the tendency.
The result of speculation among
government officials of this class
is seen readily in the downfall of
Holmes. If a clerk with access to
secret information concerning the
crops allows himself to gamble in
grain , what is more natural than
that he should make use of such
information in his speculative
operations ? Similar conditions
urround the employes of almost
very department in the govern-
nent service , and in their situa
ion from gambling to grafting is
o easy and natural a transition
hat the beginning of the one may
) e reaaonably sure to imply an
nding in the other. It is abso-
*
utely essential that the evil be
hecked at its source.
But before we can expect the
i > 75 a month clerks in office at
> Vashington to clear their skirts ,
t should be necessary to do a
ittle house cleaning further up.
Unlike most other things , reform
) est begins at the top. At the
) resent time two United States
enators are under conviction for
using their offices as a means of
irivate money making , and is no
secret that many more of our sen
ators have grown rich on a small
salary in no less a mysterious man-
ler than did Holmes of the agricultural -
cultural department. The cartoon-
sts have , unrebuked , picture' ! the
senate chamocr with a ticker at
every desk. Before the clerks of
the government can consistently
be expected to cense their spoli
ations will it not be necesstt to
set them a better example from
the places higher up ? State Jour

Shall I Go To College ?
( Nebraska Teacher. )
Every young man and every
ung1 woman who graduates
rom a high school should an-
Aver this question No one
houldpass it by , for it is iin-
lortant. Parents may answer
t for their children and many
lo , but it is better if the young-
graduate has some part in the
nswer which so vitally con-
erns him.
This is one of the deciding
points of his life. He should
onsider the question carefully.
Sot all can go to college. There
nay be some duty to mother ere
o younger brothers and sisters
n the way. Not all should go
o college. There are some few
'or whom college course would
be a waste of time and money.
These should iind a niche into
ivhich they can lit and not weary
professors or disturb their own
equanimity.
All the other high school
raduates and many who have
received their training in other
, vays would be benefited by a
college training. There is little
doubt of this. The college
training during the early years
not only makes broader-minded ,
better citizens , but it better
equips men and women to do
the world's work and do it well.
Many will not go to college.
Many will lack the ambition
which one must have to face
four years more of simple pre
paration. Many will not have
the grit to subject themselves to
the discipline of four years of
hard mental training. These
will accept the places near at
land. Then there will be others
who have what seem to be ex
ceptional opportunities which
they are afraid to allow to pass.
Those who can and will go to
college will be better for the
eil'ort made. Most of the places
men prize in the world willgo to
them. The largeropportunitics
will come to those who are pre
pared. Do not be afraid to wait
till you ar ready to do something
well. There are too few who
can do the really important
pieces of work. There are myr
iads who can do the simple
things.
Who's Who In America ?
( C. E. Bessey , State University ]
At this time of the year many
young people are brought to the
point where they must decide
whether they continue their ed
ucation beyond the high school ,
or drop out of school work and
3 into business. This is es
pecially true of the boys , who
naturally feel a desire to get at
what they call their "life work"
as early as possible.
In order to help > uch young
persons to decide whether it is
Aviser to go on or not 1 have
turned to that very enteresting
hook called "Who's Who , " in
which are recorded the names
of about twelve or thirteen thou
sand prominent men and women
in North America. These names
are selected by the editor in this
way. He looks over the whole
country and tries to find the
men who stand out above their
fellows with such prominence
that they are likely to be known
and talked about. The book has
been very carefully edited , and 1
no man can have his name en
tered merely through personal
vanity. A man must have
achieved considerable success in
some line of work in order to
have his name entered upon the
pages of this volume. Now such
a list is , ot course , a list of the
men and women who have been
successful in life. It includes
lot only professional men , as
professors , lawyers , physicians
lergymen , etc. , but also those
who have been successful in the
better sense in political and
business life.
Now turning to this book I
find that the educational attain
ments of nearly all are entered
in connection with each name.
Here is the result ; Of those who
have attained sufficient emin
ence to be entered in this list a
little more than 50 per cent are
graduates of universities and
colleges. In addition some
what more than 1-1 per cent at
tended universities and colleges
but did not r e m a i n until
graduation. Adding these to
gether we find that 70 per cent
of those listed in "Who's Who"
have had the benefit ot college
and university training , Con
trast with the foregoing the
fact that a little more than 17
per cent closed their education
in the secondary schools that is
the high schools and the acade
mies. From this it is clear that
one's chances for success in life
work are greatly increased by
college and university training.
When one takes the statistics
for those who have still less
education the figures are still
more striking. Of those who
have only common school edu
cation there are less than 10
per cent , and it is quite instruc
tive to notice that those who
"self " one-fifth
are taught" only -
of one per cent attained suffi
cient eminence to be entered in
this list of notable men and wo
men. Evidently the "self edu
cated "man is not regarded of as
much importance by the world
at large as he is by himself.
I wish I could put before the
young people of the state all the
lessons which can be learned
from an examination of this list
of eminent Americans , but per
haps what I have given will beef
of some help to those who are
hesitating. In fitting one's self
for success in life in any honor
able profession it is very clear
that the greater the educational
training the greater the proba
bility of the final success.
State Fair News.
At a meeting of the board of
managers on July 16th contracts
were let for the o-ectiou on the
fair grounde of one HWJIIC burn of
fifty pee capacity ; also cf an addi
tion to the amphitheatre 128 feet
in length.
In the matter of Polled Durham
cattle , which were not absigned a
lot in the premium list , it was or
dered that entries may be nn.de
under the head of discretionary ,
and that the same rules and club-
sification shall govern as in Red
Polled cattle and the same money
premiums bo offered.
The executive committee of the
grand Iodide of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen lias appropri
ated ftmdu for the erection of a
permanent headquarters building
on the fair grounds and a location
for the same has been assigned on
Fraternal avenue. It is under
stood that other fraternal orders
are also arranging to erect like
permanent headquarters. Space
for such headquarters buildings is
free , the fair management reserv
ing the right to approve of the
plans.
The educational exhibit will bo
„
greatly superior to any before
made at a State fair , mid Wednes
day , September ( Hh , will bo school
day. It is urged that school offi
cers delay the commencement of f
the school year until September
11th in order that teachers and
scholars may have an opportunity
to attend Iho elate fair which , in
ilsolf , is a great object school.
The outlook lor a successful
fair was never more encouraging
than at the present time.
*
A Subterfuge.
A certain so-called news agency
with alleged headquarters in
Omaha is sending regularly to
newspapers over the state what
purports to be a news letter and as
the Htuno comes to the editors free
of charge they are being published
in many papers whose editors
would not give them space if they
know the real nature thereof.
The letters purport to bo discussions -
sions of public questions , but
ingeniously concealed in each is
an attack of President Hoosovolts
rate regulation policy. It is a
scheme on the part of the rail
roads to get space in the news
papers and to got it for nothing ,
riio independent and solf-rclianl
editor will handle with care the
contents of the long envelope con
taining "free" copy.
A Day of Reckoning.
From the newspaper syndicates
organised , the newspapers subsi
dized and the orators retained , we
huve reason to believe that the
railroads are afraid the president
will bo able to bring about the
"square deal" in railroad matters
that he stands for. Wherever you
find a railroad publication , you
ti n d seine labored argument
against the right of congress to
establish rates. Even in the al
luring vacation pamphlets you
find tuaked away in some corner
the statement that the railroads
F.hould . be left alone and congress
should do nothing. It is the ar
gument of the lawbreaker. There
is not a criminal in the land who
has gone unwhipped of Justice ,
but thinks the administration of
the law is all right and they should
be lot alone. Every railroad that
has prospered by unjust rates and
built up Homo favored town in
which its officials were personally
interested at the expense of other
towns , thinks the railroads should
not be bothered but allowed to do
as they please. Every shipper
who has enjoyed special privileges
from the railroads , and has re
ceived his rebates as rebates ,
damages or free transportation ,
looks down upon the common
herd of shippers and says the
railroads should be let alone. Re
form comes slowly and is fought
at every step by the powers which
profit by existing conditions * . It
is argued that wrong is right and
that black is white and that the
prosperity of the country should
be left entirely in the hands of
the Rockefellers and Hills and
Harrimnns and other trust promo
ters and stock gamblers.
These aagtiiuents do not satisfy
the people. Reform is on the
way. The railroads may block
the way by argument and pretext
and the law's delays , but it only
postpones for a short time the day
when the people will be heard and
equal rights for all will be the
rule.
The prosperity of this country
does not depend upon the fate of
any one or dozen men. If they
were wiped on" the e a r t h
the world would wag along with ,
out them. Their plans , their
schemes , their recipes for prosperity -
perity are entirely too Hhelfish.
