Durr of aovKamn savaok. When Jofwph 8. Bnrtlcy wn liberated from the penitentiary bIx weeks ago Governor Mavngo rondo this 'declaration to tlio pre: I hare given Bartley a sixty-day furlough, but whether that tlmo will be extended re mains' to bo Been. I have Imposed some pretty hard requirements upon Bartley and I shall impose some still harder ones. H he doe what I ask him to do I wilt let him out ot the penitentiary, but It be does not, then' he will have to go back. I don t care to say Just now what these require ments will be, but I am confident thoy will meet the approval of th people of tho state. Immediately after the pnrolo.lt was given out confidentially on behalf of Hartley by parties who claimed to speak with authority that he was paroled on condition thnt he would tnrn Into the state treasury every dollar for which he defaulted. A few days later Bnrtlcy repudiated this alleged cptnpact anil both ho and his attorneys have denied positively thatnny pledges whatever wero made. Within the past week Governor Sav age has mndo this uuofllclnl declaration: When I paroled Bartley ho made certain definite, spcclilo promises as to what he would do, and whenever he carries out thoso promises I shall feel under obligations to do something for him. He knows perfectly well what those requirements are and ho knows I havo been waiting for him tor three weeks to do as he agreed. Unless Bartley docs as he promised me, he need not expect any further leniency. As soon as he complies with tho conditions which I Imposed on hlra when he was paroled, I shall take his caso under further considera tion. If ho aoea not carry out thoso pledges which havo been mado by himself ho will have to go back to the penitentiary, and stay there. The time has come for Governor Sav age to take the people of Nebraska Into his confidence. They have a right to know what task ho has Imposed upon Bnrtlcy nntl when they inny expect Its fulfillment. The only public record In the caBO so far Is the petition nsklng for "the un limited, unrestricted nud unconditional pnrdon" of Bartley on the ground thnt he was unable "through no criminal In tent of his own" to deliver to his succes sor nil the money with which he was charged nnd that his wife and fnmlly require his cure, support and protcc tlon. Everybody conversant with the testl mony on which Bartley waH convicted knows thnt the ns&ertlou of the petition that the wrecking of the state treasury was broucht about with no criminal In tent la dc-wnrlcht falsehood. From bcBnnmg to end the career of Hartley na state treasurer was a deliberate breuch of trust If the governor has been misled Into tho belief that Bartley was an Innocent victim of business de pression ho should ask a few questions, If there was no criminal Intent, why did Bartley deposit $55,000 of state funds to his private account in his own bank at Atkinson, which was not state depository and which, If it had been a depository, would not legally have been entitled to hold moro man W00. on depo8lt ... " w" crmuna. , "u" Vs B " '0181.000 to draw 7 per cent West attor thc ,aw uad 80no ,ut0 effect re" aucing tne interest ruiu ou buuu wuf rants to 5 per cent? If there was no criminal intent, wny did Bnrtlcy discount this warrant and deposit the. proceeds In his own name knowing all the time that It belonged to tne state If there was no criminal Intent, why did Bartley advnuco ?28,000 of state money to Casey, whom he expected to be his successor? Was uol this trans nctlon on Its face proof positive that Bartley wanted to cover up his shortuge as treasurer? Last, but not least, If Bnrtley's family were really destitute nnd needed his support, why did he not devote to them part of the $40,000 he had laid asldo to feo lawyers, buy nubile olnelals nnd subsidize newspapers? The people of Nebraska have no dls position to be vindictive. They have no objection to the extension of executlv clemency wherever it is merited. Gov ernor Savage, however, has evidently been Imposed on by specious pleading and delusive promises.' His duty in the premises Is plain and should be fear- lessly performed. EUROPEAN APPttEUEXSlON. Expressions of European newspapers regarding the relations of tho United States to the cxlstlug troubles In South America Indicate that there Is a strong feeling of apprehension abroad thut this country Is looking to self-aggruudlzo- ment In connection with thc difficulty between Colombia and Venezuela. It is unnecessary to seriously consider thc Utterances of tho Husslnn press, for It Is manifestly lacking In nccuratc knowl- rdeu f tho, Biunion' Xnl EnB'8h, aml l h l'a.,)dr but the views of s are of somo consequence. Thus when u responsi ble London Journal declares thnt "North American Interference In South American affairs may In the future leud to European ac tlvlty," It may fairly be pre sinned to speak with some degree of ""thorlty. nnd when the sumo paper I nicrfiRthnt "Kuroiii! oucht not to allow .. ----------- ., Itself to. be - eliminated from South American concerns" It may safely be assumcu tuni it rcuci-i u Bumiuiuui uui bounded by its editorial rooms. There Is. of course, uo substantial ground or basis for this European ap preheuslon. It can Hud uo warrant in anything our government has done in connection with tho troublo between Colombia and Venezuela. There Has been no luterferenco ou .the part of the United States and none Is contemplated But our government has treaty obllga tlons regarding the isthmus or minima wliicii is a part or tno territory or uo loinbiu, in oroe,r to niiiiii which it must take notice of the conditions there.

There I no intention to go further than this. The American people nre ns strongly de- voted today to the Monroe doctrine ns they ever were and Europe will find them ready to uphold It whenever the demand for doing so shall arise.

Chancellor Andrews has succeeded In precipitating widespread discussion over the remarkable statements he has been making In his Chicago lectures, but tho notoriety ho has acquired does not retlect credit upon the University of Ne- braska. On tho contrary, we are satis- fled tho great mnjorlty of tile people of Nebraska not only take decided Issue with the position assumed by Dr. An- drews, that lying may be Justifiable when Indulged In with good Intent, but also doubt the propriety of the head of provision for the proportionately In a great cducatlonnl Institution making creased consumption of other products such a lamentable display of moral tur- nltude. As the chancellor of tho University of v,.t.M...i,M r- i A nn.,.l.t.t llt'UtUOAil XJkt iUUlUD UIIKUt il (.UUU II V. I I himself ns n model for tho young men nnd women under his care to look up to. But what kind of a figure Is presented to the university student by a professor who teaches that thc commandment against lying can be conveniently Ig I norcd whenever tho object commends Itself as a good one. How are tho young women who nre gaining their education In tho university to be helped by thc ad- vlco thnt deceit nnd lntrlguo may be safelj resorted to without violating any ethical precept? Dr. Andrews tries to distinguish be- tween what he terms conventional un- truths and what other people refer to as common lying, but he leaves the line between the two to be fixed by each In- dividual. Might he not ns well with- draw the entire Inhibition upon false- hood ns to leave everyone free to justify lying by persuading himself that he meant no harm? Dr. Andrews has been pleading for absolute freedom of teaching with such zest in the cause of particular profes- sors supposed to have been subjected to academic ncrsecutlou that he has be- como completely blinded to the limits thnt should be set upon Instructors In educational Institutions. Thc fact that he Is nt the bend of tho State university gives no license to tench thnt lying is wholesome auv "more than it does to teach that stealing Is lawful. Even If he harbors such Ideas as a. matter of personal belief the chancellor of Nebraska's university has no right to lcnd the .lullueuce of his position to. tne.l lend the .lullueuce of his position to. tne. dissemination of such perverted' views, It is certainly to be regretted that Ne- . .. t.- braska must suffer by reason of this misconception of his mission on1 tho pnrt of Chancellor Andrews. HOIK iOAO CAN iYB FEED EVBOPEt From 1800 to 1370 the United States exported only about 20 per. cent of Its wheat production. It now exports from 80 to 40 per cent.

By 1800 the area, notwithstanding a further addition of 87,000,000 acres, or 10,125 per cent, amounted -to only 0.05 acres per capita and Mr. Hyde Is of tho opinion thnt the census of 1000 will nl- most certainly Und It uuder nine acres.

Mr. Hyde assumes that, under tho miluenco of high prices, this entire region might havo an much ns 85 per cent of Its total farm area brought under cultivation within the next fiilrty years, so that there will be added to Its productive area somo 80,000,000 acres, He finds that under a slmilnr Influence the south might concelvnbly add to its productive area ns much ns 30,000,000 aores, while 10,000,000 acres might bo added on tho Pacific const nntl U.000.UW acres In tho arid region. This would mako a gross addition of 12a,000,000 acres, from which would have to be de- ducted 15,000,000 acres for those con- tlnual withdrawals of laud from agrl- cultural uses which not .even a high degree of agricultural prosperity would entirely prevent. On the basis of our present actual consumption, to the en- tire exclusion of our export trade, Mr. Hyde concludes that tho country will require, thirty years hence, a total an- dltlon to Its present acreage or wheat, com, outs, the minor cereals and liny of 153,700,000 acres, without making nuy of agriculture. Here is a deficiency or something like 50,000,000 acres In thc urea required to feed 130,000,000 people.

DOES TUB leauve mean UVSIXESSI There was apparently an earnest pur- j)0S0 0n the part of the Anti-trust league to Institute proceedings against the United States Steel corporation when it first announced Its Intention, but sub sentient nctlon seems to warrant a doubt whether It really means business. i'jjo attempt made to draw the attorney general of the United States Into thc mutter was manifestly unwise and the result has been rather to tho dlsad- vantage oC tho league, so far onlnlon Is concerned. As the phln Record snys, this is mnnlfcstly n m08t unfitting time for the government to bring suit against the trust if there be substantial grounds for proceeding, "Such nctlon In the midst of the strike would be nn arraying of thc government not merely against tjie trust, but acalnst tho enormous Industrial and linimnlnl interests that are drawn wlthlu itH sphere nnd are deeply concerned In ittt fte.

EurniiriiKliiK Klatirrs Shiit by the l.ntmt Mortality Statistics. Chicago Tribune. Tho mortality statistics issued by tho census bureau nt Washington show that the death rate of tho nation U growing less and that Chicago l tho most healthful large city In tho country. Tho nation's d'h rato has decreased nearly 10 per cent In the last ten years. These statistics bear trustworthy testi mony to the advance In medical science, and still moro to the value of Improred methods ot sanitation nnd precaution against dlseaso In cities. Through these causes thc nation Is growing healthier d longer lived. Statistics of deaths are more rellablo than thoso of births or of mar riages, because a death Is not eailly con cealed or overlooked. The records of this kind also aro constantly growing more ac curate. Probably thcro were more omis sions In 1890 than In 1900. so that tho actual percentage of decrease In the death rnto Is even greater than tho available figures show. Ten years ago tho average ago at death wob 31.1 years: now It Is 35.2 years. In general there Is an' Increase of deaths from old ago disease nnd a decrease In the dls enscs ot Infancy. Whllo Infant deaths still constitute about ono-thlrd ot the total, there. Is nn encouraging falling off In death! from Infantile diseases. This Improvement no doubt Is duo to better sanitation, purer water nnd a more general observance of the laws of health, Tho advance In this re spect Is more marked In tho cities than In rural districts. Tho statistics show a lower death rate In tho country than In tho cities, but nltownnco must ho made for the fact that ninny country people who nre fatally 111 go to tho city hospitals for treatment, and their deaths then appear upon theclty's mortality lists. COSTLY I'UN IN ClU l.IKTINO. Itrnm of Exiictinn tlint Add 7,est to (lu .Sport. lloston Olobo. Sir Tliomns Llpton Is with us and com plctcs tho procession ot rich men who have lavished money freely for tho amusement of tho people, not to tpcnk of their own profit. What It costs to get up racing machines is hardly conceivable to a man of small means. Without u doubt $150,000 were spent on Columbia in 1699 and It cost 50, 000 to enrry It through tho season. The great designers nro not unlike those who build ships for the government. Thoy charge several thousand dollars, It Is said, for each minute of speed over that re corded of the racer's predecessor. Following theso deductions Constitution has unquestionably cost not a cent loss than $200,000 to build. It has a large tender, tho steomboat Mount Hope, and a crew ot sixty-eight men. It has throo or four suits of snlla, extra spars and tho llko and It will go Into drydock boforo the cup races. Outsldo of tho $200,000 spent on Its con struction tho rnccr will probably cost the Dolmont syndicate about $80,000. It also ccsts a small fortuno to man a racer. Columbia has curried as trial horse a crew of forty men, each of whom will re ccivo $3G n month In wages. That makes $2,200 a month, $11,000 for the Ave months It will be In commission. The wages ot Captain Darr and tho first and second mates will aggregate for. those five months $6,000; the tender will cost $7,500. Uni forms for tho men have already resulted In an expenditure of $1,000 nnd there Is th cost of foedlng them to bo considered. Th makes $25,000 and the sails and spare and overhauling and other particulars will eas ily cost anothor $25,000. It will thus be scon that, all in nil, $350,000 Is a conserva tive estimate of the cost ot defending the cud this year. What tho two Shamrocks nave cost no roan knows but Sir Thomas and hl asso- , elates In tho business of cup-lltting. is plain, at any rate, that only men of enor mous ready assets can support this fun. Uut there is no telling how much Batlsfac Hnn vlnrv rind nroBt there may be In It, especially It Sir Thomas succeeds In lifting the cup. .
