Brjaa ex hibits when he deaaaads aad receives twice as much for a chautanqua lec ture as some other mea, say Dr. Heary Van Dyke, who, without a doubt, de livers a much better lecture thaa Wil liam J. Bryaa for less BHmey. Mr. Bryaa has built up the chautauqua business. He hi known on the circuit The managers want him because they know that he is so well advertaied that they are more certaia of making a profit on Him at $250 thaa oa some one else at $100. If Mr; Bryaa is not selfish on the same lines as Mr. Forgaa, he will immediately forego this advantage he has over his follow "spielers." He will demand a law putting all lectures on an equality before the public, aad guaranteeing to all maaagers who employ them that there will be po loss. All of the lecturers, under this act, will be charged a certain percent age of their receipts, which will go into a fuad to reimburse the chantauquans for the losses sustained 6a those who mil to make good with the public. It is estimated that 10 per cent will more than cover these losses. This means that Mr. Bryaa will put up $25 of each night's work for the guarantee fond. This will be no great burden to Mr. Bryan, since he will have $225 left, which will be a handsome com pensation for a man of his frugal manner of living. He will have the satisfaction of knowing that there is not a chautauqua circle that is taking a single chance on a lecturer, and that there is not a lecturer oa the circuit who is not making some money. Mr. Bryan may complain that this system will attract to the chaatauqua field a great many men who are not competent to lecture, and who have not made a sufficient study of the work to enable them to give the public value received. This is very true, and it is almost the same complaint that Mr. Forgan makes, against the guarantee ing of bank deposits, 'namely, that it would reduce all bankers to the aame level, and would invite incompetent and reckless men to come into the bus iness. It b "intensely selfish" of Mr. Forgan, however, to take such a posi tion, regarding , bankers, and we feel' certain that Mr. Bryan will not be misled into taking it with regard to lectures. Minneapolis.Journal. There's food for thought in a tem perance address made, by Cardinal Gibbons a few days ago. The cardi nal insists that legislation cannot pre vent the sale and use of liquor; that when such sale and use are forbidden by law they are practiced in spite of the law. "When a law is flagrantly and habitually violated," he says, "it brings legislation into contempt It creates a spirit of deception andhy procrisy and compels men to do in sidiously and by stealth what they would otherwise do openly and above board." "All good men good citizens " he adds, "are in favor of the virtue of temperance, and I regret to see that the moral side of the question has not been sufficiently considered. You can not legislate men by civil action into the performance of good and righteous deeds. "If we are to improve the morality of our city and make our citizens more temperate, let the virtue of tem perance be proclaimed in the churches. Above all, let it be enforced in the family, that parents, both by word and example, may inculate in their children the temporal and spiritual blessings which spring from a life of temperance and sobriety, and let them impress upon their children the ter rible consequences of drunkenness." Lincoln Star. mMAjawuasMuan. The newspapers published at Lin coln seem to be at disagreement on the propovu to project ue state univer sity into politics and make it the nucleus of a "political machine." The Bee has quoted the Lincoln Star as auggeatiag that all the alumni of the university "be welded together into a political power " and that while it might begin with one purpose only, it would eventually build up "a machine" exerting its influence in the choice of party candidates and election of state officers. The Lincoln Journal, oa the other hand, deprecates '"the effort to make the university the football of politics" and predicts that it will Ail, answrtiag that the university cannot be aaade to supply an issue oa which candidates may climb into offce. Inasmuch as these Lincoln papers constitute thenmelves the and gaardiaaa of the lautiemlarly with to its ., .-r . - - ' r-L. - . .'-'- outofthestete treasury, their disa greement warrants the Bee ia repeat- iue its advice to the management of the university to keep it entirely non partisan and in reiterating the warn ing that it. will be a sorry day for the university when it cannot go before the legislature.oa-ita own merits, bat must be bolstered ap by a "political Bee. .

Preparations for his enter tainment should be made upon this wider scale rather than upon the idea that he is to be merely a local guest His position as the. commanding figure in President Roosevelt's cabinet and at the leading candidate for the republican presidential nomination will invest Mr. Taft's coming visit with much more than the importance that ordinarily attaches to the visit of a public man, no matter how distin guished. It w due to the state outside of Omaha, as well as to Mr. Taft, that particpation in this reception shall not be confined to Omaha. Omaha will stand out in stronger light by thus dernoastrating its broadness and pub lic spirit on , this great occasion. Omaha Bee. DEM OGBVaYTIO Mm B GmfT. The die is cast the Rubicon is crossed. Mr. Bryan is as good as nominated. He will write the plat form. He will name his running mate, and the result will be the same. Mr. Bryan will be smitten under the fifth rib, just as he smote Judge Par ker. And does the World know that hundreds of thousands of voters, en thusiastic Bryanties'of 1896 aad 1900, intend to have a share in the knifing? The sole reason why Mr. Bryan will be nominated at Denver is that it is the one way to be rid of him. He could have been beaten for the nom ination, and would have been, but for the fact that a crushing defeat in 1908 will make an end of him. The republicans are going to make a. Roosevelt platform and nominate a Roosevelt ticket That is as much radicalism as the country is now ready to assimilate. Then there will be nothing for MrjBryan to do but make a more radical platform. We know what the country will do to that Before it elects another president the democratic party must again be come democratic. That it cannot be until Mr. Bryan is thrown out, neck and crop. Patience, and shuffle the cards. Washington Post A New York business man obtain ed a position for his son in a large commercial concern at a nominal sal ary. He wanted the boy to become acquainted with routine office work and to learn self-reliance. A few days ago, after three weeks of work, which the boy said he liked "first rate," he was told that he was discharged, the reason given to the father in a note which was carried home was, "He has a well developed case of what?" When he has been cured send him back, for we like him." In futher explanation to the father the merch ant said that the boy had the exas perating habit of asking "What?" whenever anything was asked of him. This was aot because the boy's hear ing was defective, but because he was a slave to "a habit which was a tax on patience, and precluded prompt at tention to orders. This is curable in a boy, I know, and I am sure that when you inform me that a cure has been effected and I ask you to send John back here he will not say "what?" John Donovan, the editor of. the Madison, Neb., Star-Mail, objects to being classed with those who, while crying "reform,"' were accepting and seeking advantages from the railroad companies in the form of advertising contracts. Mr. Donovan' does not deny that he has accepted transporta tion from the railroads in exchange for advertising space. He is oae of those who believe that a publisher has a right to sell his advertising apace for money, or railroad mileage, or cord wood, or anything he chooses to accept Aad ia holding this view he has plenty of company. What Mr. Donovan ob jecte to m being classed with the "fake who preach one thing aad Donovan a rather consistent Demo- cratic editor, makiag no effort to con ceal the met that he had a straight waeiaem deal with one of the big rail roads, his protest is well founded.- Liacola Star. - "- . . . , ,' .- .. . ,- A foreigner offers a. new explana tion why Aavericaa girk atarry tided noolemea. He naya Aanncs gljfls cannot stand for quick-lunch- amitri mouy and that is the. reason they go abroad to get mated. "They don't waat their love gulped dowa like a noonday repast at a lunch counter," he says. "They waat husbands who will asake a business of love. There is too much commercialism here. It is a rush, hurry, rush all the time, and the woman are'ieft to theirown amass ment" The American business man seems to be up against it both ways. If he does not hustle 'for Doeiaees someone else gets the job; if he does not love the girl as ardently as her soul craves someforeigner steps in aid carries her off. There u only one thing to do cut out the business. The thanks of the republican party are due the, Hon. W. J. Bryaa for go ing down to Kentucky (entirely un solicited, as he says) to' instruct the legislature how to vote for United States senator. He did not prove him self a very successful instructor. The Kentucky gentlemaa thinks he needs no Nebraska instructor, they waat no "boss rule" in Kentucky, perhaps. Atany rate, on last Friday tiwlejrav latere of Kentucky, after a deadlock of six weeks, elected William 6'Con nell Bradley, a life long republican, to the United States senate for a term of six years. That is quite a black eye for our Billy Bryan of Nebraska. He will now be opposed to the selec tion of United States senators by the legislature more thian ever. If the democrats thought that Den ver did not intend to get back that $100,000 donated for the democratic national convention, they are much mistaken. An inquiry as to hotel rates resulted in showing that these rates at the mountain city during the convention will make similar charges ia New York or other large cities look insignificant HOME tIFE OF THE JAPANESE. Marrying for Love Comparatively Un known in That Country. In nine families out of erery ten wives are said by a famous Japanese to obey their husbands, not willingly, but through fear. Foreigners pen etrate rarely into the Japanese home, and this because the Japanese are careful not to show them their fami ly life. Love marriages do not exist in Japan. No doubt there are cases where wife and husband learn to love each, other after marriage; it is mere chance. If they learn of a man who has -married for love they consider him contemptible and immoral. Opin ion' places love of woman on a low scale because the Japanese do not dis tinguish between passion and love. They keep their blood as pure as pos sible: Before contracting a marriage they study carefully the genealogy of the consort-elect. The woman who cannot prove her blue blood can not expect a good match. To the object of preserving; pure and honorable an ancestral line all other considerations in matrimony are subservient A fa ther whose only child is a daughter exerts' himself to find a husband for her, and this husband he invites Into his own home. The daughter and the son-in-law establish their household in the paternal homestead. This is for the purpose of perpetuating the wom an's family. CLEAR CASE OF PROVIDENCE. Shrewd Uncle Jim Williams aa a Pub lic Sensfactsr. In a New Jersey town the other day the council passed an ordinance that the scales used in all the 'grocery stores should be officially tested. Uncle Jim Williams had been in trade for 21 years, and when his scales were tested they were found two ounces short on every pound weighed out to customers. The thing was gossiped about, and something was said in the papers, and so at the next Thursday evening prayer meeting: the short-weight brother felt that something ought to be said. He admitted that the scales were found to be wrong and 'that for over 20 years he had been selling; 14 -ounces for a pound, but he wanted to state the other side of the cane the' side the public had not yet heard. "Tea, friends, it's true about the 14 ounces," he said, "but on the other hand, what have I been doing with ax handles? The regular price is 25 cents each, but through some absent-minded, ness I have been selling them all these, years for 2;; and ff 'the buyer was not satiated with that I threw ia a door knob or a barn door hinge. It seems like a case of Providence; in fact, it is a case of Providence, but if any of my customers feel that they owe me any thing on the deal they can come around to the store in the morning and cancel the debt" The Rifht ef Children. All children nowadays have aright to good teeth, and if "in after life they fall to possess them they may natu rally feel aggrieved with neglectful parents.

Insist upon perfect cleanliness of the teeth from babyhood, even at the cost of walla aad groans from the youngsters and amrenUttlag watch falaess on the part of mothers" and Take children to the dentist at least four times a year, and it will save both teeth and big bille later.

Only a few daya ago I aid sccasiea to speak to a friend who sent a relative in the west a "just aa good" piece of Fiyav outh rock, says Jnlims Chambers1 la the Brooklyn Eagle. The last Ume I waa returning: to this country on a Canard steamship we found that the Loaeoa mails were six hoars late at Queenstbwn and n friend of one of' the passengers, hav ing a very fast yacht, had come down from Cork to say good-by. Aa the voyager happened to he known to me, I waa asked to form one of a small party to run up to Cork, where automobiles, aot jaunting can. would take aa to Blarney castfe, about Ive miles northwest of Cork.

But this time everything waa different The Corkonlan millionaire's steam yacht carried on swift as an arrow up the eight miles of bay it appeared to be about the aame distance as from St. George to Whitehall street to Cork. We landed near the spot where Cromwell set up his tag and Marl borough went ashore la late. The aatos were In waiting and the tve or aix miles to Blarney castle were run In a few' minutes after we got disen tangled from the narrow streets and the swarming children. Cork is a city of Tt.Ova people aad race suicide isn't chargeable to any of the families, aa well as a hasty glance would entitle me to jadge. Blarney castle wasn't tnlshed in the Cromwell days, in all likelihood. It Isn't much of a "castle" to anybody who has seen the reel thing at Stir ling or half a dozen places that might be mentioned. It consists chiefly of one tower, with wings. In the wall of the facade, about 20 feet from the top, or, at a guess, 45 feet from the ground, a stone about the size of a bushel basket protrudes. ;It Is the real "Blarney stone!" So far as I can imagine, only such persons as have been lowered in "boatswain's chairs" and the wild birds ever have actually hissed it. Tet, I have had to ait and listen to many beautiful and truthful (?) wom en tell how they knelt to kiss the Blarney atone. I understand exactly what they meant They didn't know the real from the Imposition. The little village of Blarney has nothing to com mend it to the attention of travelers except this castle. Therefore, a "just aa good" Blarney atone has been placed In the courtyard of the castle and for a trifling matter of sixpence you 'and I may go into its sacred preseace and press our lips upon its rough, clammy surface. It Isn't worth the money, because one isn't getting that for which he or she bargained. The rock is high la the wail, aad any other Blarney atone la ranch the aame aa a duplicate of Plymouth Rock would be, set up la Riverside Park or Bowl-, lag Green. The castle waa built by the Crbuiack McCarthy about 164s. r three years before Cromwell slaugh tered the Irishmen of the place. -Aa fme sees it to-day It Is only aa Ivy clad ruin, centered about a battie meated keep.

A preacher, after sending his hat around among the brethren and vain ly urglag them to contribute, clasped his hands, raised his eyes, and aaid: "Lord, this is the toughest crowd I have ever found. I have preached ia the Black Jack neighborhood, and have ridden the Red Range circuit but thia congregation occupies a place a little farther removed from the giving spout thaa any people I ever saw. Amen." Then, turning to the sexton; he 'said: "I've two gallons of old whisky stored away not far from here. As I don't use liquor myself. I am going: to give it to some worthy man. Carry the hat around once more." The hat came hack full of ailver. The preacher went into the woods to look for the whisky Up to a few hours ago he had not re turned. Ne Chance at All."

New Ceek Get Away f rem Hard Work ef Plucking Feathers. The new cook aa green a daughter of ffrin aa that verdant country ever1 seat over the seas said she could pluck the ducks. The ducks in ques tion were only three, but they were the pride aad joy of the heart of the master of the house. He had spent four blessed daya ia Virginia etttiag put ia a cold. damp, dirty bltad to get them. And to help eat them, he had asked the cronle to whom he had fre quently boasted his skill aa a marks man.

Dr. May of Michigan Finda That New I Haven Freshmen Excel His: I Dr. May of the University of Mich igan has compared the statistics of his freshmen class with those of the Tale freshmen. ' He develops the fact that la oae particular only have the Tale freshmen any decided advantage, aad that la ia lung capacity. The tgures are 25C agaiast 243. Dr. May -ascribes this to the great er opportunities for physical training in the schools of the east. The aver age age .and weight of the eastern 1911 man is slightly greater. Tale has more habitual tobacco users. Of the Michigan freshmen 23.75 per cent, use tobacco customarily, while 46 per cent, use it at Tale. Dr. May reports that 145 of the 89 students he examined wore glasses, but more should have bad them. Of the students about 159 suffered from various deformities, such as stoop shoulders, flat feet aad curviture of the spine. However, they are better physically than the 1919 class at Michigan, aad Dr. May hopes that his 1912 class will have bigger lungs than the Tale men. What He Meant.
