The pcoplo of the Black Hills district of South Dakota do not take kindly to the ac tion of Governor L.CO and the other members or tlio exposition commission from that etato In cancelling the reservation of 6,000 r , < iuaro feet of space In the Mines building and taking only COO feet In that building for South Dakota's mineral display. Com missioner J. P. Hymer of Dcadwooil , who re served the 0,000 feet of space cancelled by the governor , writes a rather caustic letter to the Department of Exhibits , in which he severely ciltlclses the action of the governor In thus attempting to belittle the mlnor.tl resources of the state. Hla letter was written before the Bouth Dakota delegation which visited Omaln Jiad returned liomo and ho writes : "I shall take < no action In thU until the commission returns from Omaha , but I wish to say tliat the people of the Black Hills will never con tent to make an exhibit on COO square feel nor on two or three times that amount. " CommUbloncr Hymer expresses pleasure at Ji ear I UK that Governor Leo had become Inter ested In the exposition , Mr. Hjmor says ull interests In the state will work In harmony and a good state exhibit will bo made , but the JJlack Hills will bo represented on a scale commensurate wltb Its liroortance.

I do not believe that the twenty-sixth general assemply appreciated the full magnitude of the exposition or the extent of Its Influence , and I feel certain that the present legislature will realize before It adjourns that the great state of Iowa , through which a largo portion ot the travel to and from the exposition must pass , cannot afford to be niggardly In Its appropriation for a proper and becoming representation.

M. Woolnorth , one of the attorneys of the water company. No conclusion was reached and , therefore , the committee had no report to make to the meeting of the directors. AnkN 'Aid of Citizens. The Missouri Exposition commission has Issued an appeal to all of the citizens of the state asking their aid and co-operutlr.n In the work of thecommission. .

A further study of the subject of double standards In morals was resumed by Dr. Leo M , Franklin' In a lecture at Temple Israel last night. The division of the subject a week ago Included the presentation ot mis taken ethical conditions governing the con duct of the present generation. It was shown that men raado a practice ot dishonest meth ods In buslncpo and. political lite which they would never stoop to as privateIndividuals. . Attention was also directed to the fact that coclety- was able to excuse In a man faults that would doom a woman to social ostra cism. The topic last might was "How Shall the Change Bo Wrought ? " and took up the con sideration of the needed cure. It treated of the sociological forces at work among men which must bo controlled and directed and was delivered in an easy but Impressive manner. "Tho most formidable opposition that confronts the social and moral reform er , " said Dr. Franklin , "is the prejudice which custom has hallowed. The long clos ing of our eyes to certain abuses has caurxid us to believe that they should not only bo tolerated but are necessary to our proper expansion. There are ticiay even who be- llovo that an , effort to change present condi tions would be in the direction ot tearing down the fabric of our civilization rather than of righting an exlst'ng wrong. To me It tocnis that the conscientious moralist should not hesitate to go against this ex isting prejudice In spite of the fact that. It la not pleasant to feel that one belongs tea a very email minority. His reward must bo the corscloufness that he his vindicated a great principle. NEITHER. DREAMER NOR PRUDE. "One should not be cither a dreamer or a piudc , however , In his work or expectations. He must not believe that n single standard ot morality Is possible at once with all men , but In drawing Ideal pictures he may turn the thoughts of men in the right direction. For the present Ideals are In a diseased con dition ; the man who lias ono code of morals for private llfo and another for business , wno sets up one tiling as rignt ror a mail and the opposite for a woman , Is not only mentally Inconsistent , but Is morally Incon tinent. In right and Justice there can be but ono standard ot morality and that Is ab solute. IJut how In the face ot a prejudiced public opinion can the change be brought about ? There are those who say that It can bo reached by legislation. Judgment and common sense show that all law-making is futile In eradicating vice from the world. It may restrain Individual cases temporarily , but It lias never succeeded In changing a man of vicious habits into a gentleman. But In any event the law would never touch those to whom this discourse Is directed. Many of these are men who are supposed to be the best of us , upright and honorable. It makes the problem the more difilcult that we have been accustomed to lift our heads In respect to those who need Its treat ment. The one saving fact Is that wrong doing among this class comes from Intel lects befogged by a long mistaken education. The root of the evil lies In a perverted public sentiment. It can be traced to a strange lack of social conscience , but If the effect of these centuries of wrong customs can bo brushed aside the truth will be In telligently heard. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. "One of the main agents In the accom plishment ot this Is the public school. The teacher should come toifccl that it Is a func tion of the school to prepare youth for moral struggles as well as for mental con tests. l"or If the Tieart Is not right the brain will go astray and the beginning of wisdom Is the fear of God. Another great clement In the formation of the public con science is the press , for what the primer Is to the child the newspaper Is to the man. It Is Incumbent upon the writers of the press to assail falsity and defend the right. The church Is the third Influence In the forma tion of public opinion and It preachers had only been fearless and outspoken In years that are past conditions would be greatly better today , for they 'have ' often been more fearful of stepping upon tender ground than in upholding the right. 'Hut Justice can be subserved , truth can bo vindicated only by courageous treatment. "In drawing a personal lesson It should bo remembered that public conscience can never be made right as long as fathers teach their sons that absoluo honesty Is ntrt com patible with business success , and mothers tell their daughters that society Is a farce In Which they , along with others , must act an artificial part. Public conscience "will never lin rnlsnd frnm the mrn ! tn thn nln- naclo until men and women shall recognize the unrighteousness and lack .of logic In double standards of morality.

To the Editor of The Bee : Cyrus Morton , who died at his home , 4C02 Center street , January 8 , In his C7th year , was a pioneer of Omaha. Among his pioneer friends and neighbors who assisted In the last sad rites aa his foody was laid away in Evergreen cemetery weio Thomas Swift , George ( Doc > Smith , J. J. McLaln , Captain C. H. Downs and W. J. Mount. Ono of those coincidences which so often happen In books , but not so often In real life , happened at the time of his death. In 1S75 In old Virginia there was a double wedding , Cyrus Morton swapping slrters with John O. Marsh. Mr. Morton's sister survived her husband and remained alive until the date of Mr. Morton's death , January S , 1898 , she dying at G:40 : p. m , he dying at C:15 : p. m. Mr. Morton came to Omaha In 1856. At that tlmo the city ha 1 1,000 population , but n great many lived In wagons and tents and did not know whether they would remain ergo go on to California. When Mr. Morton had left his homo in Virginia his mother had sewed ( each ono separately ) fifteen $20 gold pieces In a belt which ho wore. Ho traveled acrcss Iowa on foot , the terminus of the railroad at that tlmo being Rock Island , 111. John A. March , a cousin to his wife , was with him. They airlvcd In Omaha In the spring of 185C. The first man they mot was William P. Snowdon. who was auctionIng - Ing oft an .Indian pony. They struck a Job with Harrison Johnson , who had a farm ex tending from what Is now Twentieth to Twenty-seventh streets and from Loavon- worth to St. Mary's avenue. With three to flvo yoke of oxen to the plow ithey broke up all the land from Twenty-fourth to Twenty-seventh streets and from Tarnam to Leavcnworth streets , In the winter their business was cutting and hauling cordnood for Mr. Johnson. It was the only fuel and brought from $7 to $10 per cord. During the wInter of 1856 the legislature met in Omaha In the old Pioneer block be tween Eleventh and Twelfth on Farnam. Mr. Johnson was a member. Mr. Morton re membered calling for Mr. Johnson nnd lis tening to the debates , which wcro sometimes more forcible than elegant.

A quarter section of land which ho entered at $1.25 an acre In 1857 ho could at one time have sold for $160,000 cash. Mr. Morton and Mr. March built the first houre In Fremont.
