been delayed by the fact that the appeal sent

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

interests In the state will work In harmony
and a good state exhibit will bo made , but the

ANOTHER TALK ON MORALS
Dr , Leo M , Franklin Gives His Second
Looturo on the Subject ,
CHANGE NEEDED FROM DOUBLE STANDARD
force * ntVnrli ( AniniiK
tMcn tlmt ainnt lie Controlled
I'rcjtnllec Hallowed It ) ' CIK-
torn Mnxt He Overcome.
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. "
The subject will 'be ' continued In the lecture -
turo next Friday night. The subject chosen
for that evening Is , "Tho True Aristocrat. "
J. A. Perkins of Antiquity , O , was for
thirty years needlessly tortured by physi
cians fcr the cure ot eczema. He was

of U > riiH Morton.
OMAHA , Jan. 11. 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. With $100 of the
g'Old ' Bowed In his belt by his mother Mr.
Mot ton bought a squatter's right to the land ,
n good part of wbich ho owned at the tlmo
of his < lcath. 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. It was of liown
logs , 16x21. This wes In 1856.
March 2 , 1875 , Mr. Morton quit keeping
bachelor' hall and took Mary Marsh to share
his Joys nnd sorrows. On the 14th of Juno ,
1875 , the grasshoppers visited Nebraska.
They dcmollfhed nil of Mr. Morton's corn.
They stayed three days , then arose and
were seen no more. Mr. Morton woo a life
long democrat and among his warm friend ?
were bomo of < the old war horses of that
party. Ho was at the tlmo of his death
a member of the Christian church. Mr.
Morton'd character wno of the sterling kind ,
or wnicn tno world cannot Uo overstocked ,
Ho loaves a vvlfo and two eons.
