t! WITH A OMKYAfiCK
During the recent trial of a libfl suit
in which 25,OiiO damages were sought
to be recovered from The Bee and the
Jury awarded $1.08 to the plaintiff the
prosecuting attorneys repeated with
vehemence the well-worn falsehood thnt
the article complained of was written
bocnus'? the complainant would not do
the bldiling or submit to the political
dictation of the editor of The Bee. Al
though this charge lies been exploded
time and again, tnnny people who are
not familiar with past history are
naturally Inclined to gite its reiteration
credence.
At every stage of the career of The
Be there have been men with a griev
ance, whoso rnncor could not be rp
peased even when they knew thnt the
blows thnt made them smart were
struck In the fearless discharge of duty.
A few citations will suffice
Way lmek In Its Infancy The Bee
turned the searchlight of publicity upon
the purchase of a United States senator-
ship, the appointment of corrupt and
Incompetent men In the federal service,
tho sale of West Point cado?Hhlps,
gigantic frauds In public land surveys
through senatorial Influence, and for
years and years thereafter a score of
men implicated with these corrujit deals
had Insatiable grievances and claimed
they had been made victims of malicious
persecution because they would not
allow themselves to be used to promote
tho political schemes of the editor of
The Bee.
Later, when the searchlight was turned
upon the state house, the -enltentinrv
and the Insane asylums, when n fright
ful state of venality and corruption was
disclosed and exposed, when legislative
committees .confirmed the charge that
convicts were being tortured by brutal
keepers by the use of the thumb screw,
the stocks and other Instruments of tor
ture, a' ofher horde of men with a griev
ance filled tho air with imprecations and
swore eternal vengeajice on the editor
who had ruined them because they
would not knuckle under and do his
bidding.
When the famous Holly water works
light was on here in 0 .71 aim, and the
conspiracy to saddle the city with an
Inferior water works plant at an exor
bitant price was frustrated by The
Bee's publicity, the city hall was full of
men with n grievance and they also
sought to set themselves right by pro
claiming that they had been out
rageously libeled because they would
not do the bidding of-the political dic
tator In control of The Bee.
More recently still, when a deadly
blow was struck at Omaha by a paid
corporation lobby that succeeded In
mutilating its charter and preventing
the enactment of a law that would com
pel thfi railroads to pay their Just pro
portion of municipal taxes and barred
the city from exercising the right of
eminent domain In the purchase of land
for parks, the exposure and denunciation
of the conspiracy brought forth' a num
ber of men with a grievance who have
ever since been sworn enemies of The
Bee, trying to Justify themselves with
the plea that they have been victims of
malice and satanlc persecutions because
they would not bend the knee before
"the little editor on the hill." .
Some men have grievances by Inheri
tance. A few years ago the editor of
The Bee filed a complaint with Presi
dent McKlnley in substantially this lan
guage: I would respectfully, but earnestly,
remonstrate against the appointment of
to an important position in the
revenue service for these rennnna-
1. Tie Is In his dotage and cannot per
form the functions of his office.
2. fie was an ardent supporter of Wil
liam J. Bryan In the last presidential
campaign.
8. Tie. was impeached and removed
from the office of mayor of Omaha on
th charge of bribery by a republican
council.
Although every word of this was gospel
truth, the son of this man has bad a
grievance ever since and never loses an
opportunity to throw little darts at the
editor of The Bee through a weekly
paper he emits for the enlightenment
of Omaha society. But an editor who
would falter In the foarlcss and eon
sclentlous discharge of duty would be
totally unfit to be either a molder of
public opinion or a political leader.

Our government proposes to protect
citizens of the United States having
claims in San Domingo and has so noti
fied the government of that republic.
In the event of any foreign power at
tempting, as bas been threatened, for
cibly to effect a preferential settlement
of its claims against San Domingo, the
United States will take charge of all the
custom bouses of San Domingo in the
Interest of American creditors, this be
ing regarded as warranted by the rw
cent decision of The Hague tribunal.
It Is assumed that the action taken by
our government was Intended to notify
the European creditors of the republic
that the privilege of repeating the
course pursued against Venesuela will
not again be granted. It Is not im
probable that the Washington authori
ties have come to the conclusion that
too much consideration was shown the
European powers in the case of Veuo
suela and have taken the opportunity
afforded by the Ban Domingo claims to
let those powers know that the United
States will not sanction another such
exercise of "pressure" for the collection
of claims. At all events the notice
served upon the Dominican government
Is certainly significant
It Is not surprising to And in con
nection with this matter a demand for
the annexation of San Domingo. An
eastern paper remarks that the ulti
mate inclusion ef that republic within
the colonial dominion of the United
States Is unavoidable and thinks the
declaration of purpose made In regard
to customs administration is a step in
that direction, adding: "The republic
can neither protect Its own people nor
protect the foreign Interests for which
governments everywhere are re-
Fpnneible to each other. Years of In
deeudeuee have tanght no lesson save
that, if left to their own devices, these
people are unteachoble. We must care
for Son Domingo because tho inability
of Pan Domingo to care for herself is
an always increasing international an
noyanre." There Is no question that
something ought to be done to es
tablish order and security Id the little
republic and It is certainly possible to
find a practicable way of effecting this
without annexing 8an Domingo. A vast
majority of our people, It can be con
fidently asserted, would oppose the in
elusion of that country within the co
lonial dominion of the United States,

MAT lltTALIATS.
There appears to be no doubt that our
Chinese exclusion policy will be main
tained. This Is shown in all informa
tloii" coming from Washington, those
who are disposed to favor some modifl
cation of It being a very small minority
It is the opinion of Attorney General
Knox that the exclusion act will not be
fleeted by the expiration of the treaty
which the Chinese government has de
nounced, so that there is no need of
further legislation in order to make ex
clusion effective.
There Is a considerable feeling that
China may adopt some form of retalia
tion after the expiration of the troaty,
us unquestionably she would bo Justified
In dolntf. . The Washington Post says:
e make no secret of our flxod de
termination to exclude certain classes of
Asiatics end we set up an official ma
chinery for realizing that purpose.
Why. then, may not China enjoy an
equal privilege and why should we ex
hibit resentment at tho slightest tend
ency In that direction? There - are
Americans in China quite as obnoxious
to the natives there as any Chinaman
can possibly bo to us. With what
Justice cun we oppose their exclusion
with , what consistency can we Insist
upon their retention? We do not cut a
very nohle and superior figure In this
matter, purer and better and more en
lightened though we claim to be."
It Is by no moans Improbable that the
government of China has glvon consider
ation to the question of tdoptlng a re
taliatory policy and it is clear that we
could not consistently object If It should
adopt Mich a policy, having ourselves
set the example. Another thing to be
apprehended Is that we may lose a
treat deal of trade, for we may bo sure
tht our commercial competitors will
do all they con to promote Chinese dis
pleasure with our exclusion policy.

Our people are so accustomed to
criticism of the consular service of the
United States, the critics alleging that
It is for tho most part Inefficient and
that our consuls generally do not prop
erly look after our commercial Interests
abroad, that a tribute to the sen-Ice
from a German source Is exceedingly
gratifying.' especially In view of the
fact that Germany's consular system
has been regarded as a model for im
itation.
In a recent debate in the Reichstag
the declaration was made that if Ger
many wished to maintain ltsjlace in
the world's commerce it must follow
the example of this country in Improv
ing its sources of information abroad
and in establishing chambers of com
merce In foreign cities. The German
consular system was criticised In terms
similar to those employed by critics of
the American service. Referring to this
the Philadelphia Ledger remarks that
the German praise, so far as It Is
founded on eccurate knowledge of the
facts, may Justly be appropriated by
the president and Secretary Hay, whose
efforts to put the United States consular
system on a business basis are begin
ning to bear fruit and win recognition
abroad. "Examinations to determine
fitness for appointment to the service,"
ays that paper, "a more secure tenure
for officials proved to be capable and
promotions based on merit are all steps
in the right direction. If, In addition,
tie service could be divorced from par
tisan politics and business ability and
training made the sole qualifications of
its memliers, the United States consular
jbody would be ono of which the entire
nation could be proud." There seems
to bo no promise that congress will
take tho action necessary to divorce the
son-ice from partisan politics and place
It on a business basis and In the event
of a change of administration It may
be expected that the service will
retrograde.
fltAlSB FOR AMKRtCA
Last year there came to this country
a body of representative British edu
cators, mechanical and business experts
and students of the methods and needs
of British industry and commerce, the
purpose being to make a study of con
ditions here educational, Industrial and
commercial. The commission, organised
by Mr. Alfred Moeely, was In this coun
try about three months prosecuting Its
Investigations and what It learned has
Just appeared In a voluminous report
which In the main Is highly' laudatory
of the United States.
It Is especially Interesting In the testi
mony it bears to the great concern of
our people In the education and develop
ment of the young, to the unlimited am
bition and resources brought Into the
service of American youth. In equipping
them for the work and duties of later
years, and to the spirit of progress and
the love of knowledge which exist here.
Of course there Is some criticism. This
was Inevitable, for tho British investi
gators did not fall to find among our
own people some who are not satisfied
with prevailing conditions in all respects
and who urge changes and modifications
in present methods. But there is abund
ant evidence In the report of the sur
prise experienced by the British visitors
as to what they found here, especially
the devotion to popular education. It
seems rather remarkable that Englioh-
men of the class who came here should
have found in this any cause for aston
Ishment, since It Is commonly assumed
that all Intelligent foreigners are aware
of the American people's boundless in
terest in popular education. Tet it is a
fact that they were astonlahed at what
they found in this respect awl it is
significant that the commission con
nects the American belief In education
with the prosperity of the country,
though regarding It as the effect rather
than the cause of prosperity. Terhaps
Americans generally will not be dis
posed "to acquiesce in this view, the
nearly universal conviction here being
that the fostering of popular education
has been conducive to material progress
and prosperity. The commission found
that the usefulness of the public schools
has greatly Increased within the last
quarter of a century and offered the
prediction that In the future popular
education will become more and more
the cause of Industrial and commercial
progress and of national well-being.
Americans have reason for gratifica
tion at the commendatory views ex
pressed by the British commission and
they may find in the criticisms made
something worthy of consideration.
Wonderful as pur progress and achieve
ments have been there are yet some
fanlta to be corrected and a great deal
to be learned, and the counsel and
criticism of Intelligent foreigners should
not be dismissed as valueless.
The establishment of Mr. Carnegie's
fund for the recognition and reward of
men and women credited with acts of
heroism has occasioned no little com
uient throughout the country, but,
while the motive of the endow
ment and the praiseworthy object
Of the donor have received words of
favor, oplulon differs decidedly as to
whether the results will be such as to
meet the expectations of the originators
of the plan.
Will the real heroes of this workaday
world consent to participate in tho dis
trlbutlon of Mr. Carnegie's hero found?
Is not our very conception of the true
hero one which involves the actor in
modesty that refuses to parade his ac
tion or to seek any other reward than
the knowledge of a duty to fellow man
well and courageously done? There are
doubtless many Instances in which
heroic action entails suffering and sacri
fice that brings the hero to the public
attention whether he will or no, but
that these cases are more frequent than
those in which equal sacrifice and suffer
ing are endured by hidden heroes we
very much doubt.
If there be any thought that the crea
tion of a hero fund will stimulate
heroism by the offer of a reward or the
assurance that no self-sacrlflclng deed
need work unrelieved hardship upon the
hero, it surely will fall of realization.
Heroes are not made ff such flimsy
stuff that they require a cash prize to
spur them on. Heroes are men. and
women who meet emergencies bravely
and intelligently as they present them
selves who do not seek danger, yet do
not avoid It who think more of others
and less of self. Heroes are to be found
quietly grappling with the problems of
life In every walk of life and every day
of the year.
The- hidden heroes might appreciate
grateful recompense from those for
whom they have risked their lives or
comfort and still resent proffered assist
ance from an outsider, but most of them
shrink even from the thanks of their
beneficiaries.
Under such circumstances It will be
the less deserving who push themselves
forward for Mr. Carnegie's bounty,
while the most heroic will be content
with the credit mark of a clear con
science. Unless we misjudge human
nature, the man or woman who comes
forward to present a claim against the
Carnegie fund will, unless absolutely de
pendent upon such assistance, f.iTl
notlccably'ln the esteem of the public,
no matter what tributes the act of
heroism may have originally called
forth.
John D. Rockefeller is said to have
Just had a book published purporting to
be a history of himself and his Standard
Oil company, written in a sympathetic
vein, as an answer to the attacks that
have been made on his company and Its

Itod to sixteen lines, was awarded to the
writer of the following poem. After the
decision was rendered th judges learned
that the writer whs Maurice Francis Egun,
a professor In the Catholic university.)
The Power beyond the thunder clouds,
The Power beyond the tender blue,
The Power that rules earth's surging
crowds,
Is ChrlHt to me a Force to you.
Tet be It Force Impersonal,
Though Christ the Uud I know It Is,
It Is the life within us all.
For we ore God's and wholly His.
Tou are the slave of unknown Power,
And we the servants of God's will.
Shall we, within our little hour,
Profane the Source of good, for ill?
How like a foolish child Is he,
How Ilk a wretched fool am I,
If. with vain words Insultingly,
We name the Power of earth and sky?
