The expannlon of fruitful ac tivity is nation wide. Indeed in a sense world wide,' but it may vrell be doubted If In the nation or in the world there is another community in which so many felicitous circum stances combine In an appeal to grati tude as in onr own commonwealth. The force of that -appeal Is im mensely enhanced by the retrospect of the active' generation and still far more If we go back in the memory of pioneers who in contraing- scenes prepared and made straight the way that has led to auch pleasant places. That hardy, enduring. Intrepid rac of men and women whose faith and strength it was that transformed the desert are entitled above ail to a place In the reflections of this day, the more because the circle of the survivors is so rapidly narrowing. jNot less is there admonition, if there be wisdom to discern it, that by those virtues alone by which the abounding blessings of this situation were gained can they be retained and perpetuated. The arduous conditions of the earlier years poverty, depriva tion, the formidable menace of the plains, the disaster of sterile seasons and devastating vlHitations chal lenged and developed the qualities that bring success. Prosperity also, though In a diflerfht way, is a test of char acter and Is attended with its own peculiar dangers. The true Thanksgiving, if lis In forming spirit be intelligent and loyal, will lead away from mere fatuous self satisfaction and into serious appre ciation of the dqty that is inseparable from powerand, opportunity. GROWTH UFMUXll IPA.L UOVtRSUKST. The relative Importance of munici pal government has been recently, forced upon public attention In many ways, but never more notably than by the facts developed by tho national census bureau through its investiga tion into public ' debts. It is a sur prising and pregnant fact that the ag gregate debt of cities of 8,000 popu lation and upward in the United States exceeds SI. 600,000, 000, 'or an amount, as the census .bureau state, "greater than .that of the combined debt of the national and state gov ernments and of the counties, school districts and other minor civil dis tricts." The comparison throws Into dear light the lmmensly greater place which, municipal government occupies now in the life of the people and the lapldlty with which It Is taking on and enlarging functions which were formerly either left to private enter prise or were. .entirely. . uterformed. The facts likewise carry a most Im pressive lesson 011 the neglected sub ject of municipal taxation. . The most vital suggestion, however, arises out- of the circumstance that tho prodigious municipal debt bears directly upon only the one-third of the total population of the country which in 1900 was included in cities of over 8,000. Concentration of population is going on so steadily that within a generation fully one-half, Instead of one-third, of the total will almost cer tainly be nimsed in cities of . over 8t000. If the. tendency to serve urban wants, which rapidly assume the char acter of necesHltles, by municipal agency and taxation shall continue at the rate shown during the last two decades and especially the last few years, as In all probability It will, problems of organization and admin istration of great complexity and dif ficulty will have to be solved. As the case stands municipal ar rangements are antiquated, clumsy, inefficient, uneconomic. Particularly in .'our. western states the typical sys tem for municipal regulation 4 the crudest sort of patchwork over a con stitutional and statutory frame" orig inally, designed and ,prhaps aultahJe enough for pioneerrural and village conditions, but. totally inadequate in the vast industrial and social revolution-In the mid of which we are living. ttSATVR TILLMMXS Of Ft Y.i Whatever may be thought of Sena tor Tillman's motives, there can hardly be difference as to the fact that the spirit In which he discusses the race Isnue, hi speech, at. Chicago be ing characteristic, is a grave hindrance to any useful solution. It breathes defiance, bitterness, intolerance, and in every syllable exasperates the baser passions which at beat are hard to deal with on such a question. Mutual animosities are the very essence of the race issue, but Senator Tillman, . In stead of striving to allay and remove them, seems to strain 11 his energies to inflame them. This Incompatible and arrogant at titude on the part of a faouthcru man of undoubted ability and influence U in every way to be regretted ut this time, .when there are many ominous signs of increasingly critical strain be tween the raceo in those extensive sections where they are in closest con tact. While It exasperates northern sensibilities and Indeed seems as If expressly designed by the senator to have that effect, even more harmful consequences fall upon the south, mul tiplying the discouraging difficulties with which the progressive and earnest minds of both rare there are bravely and eonsclentlouely struggling. The fact that we canrl get away I from Is that the two ry.'es are here, ( mainly luassed iu ba't d'w oatb TIIE OMAHA ern states, snd here they will remain. It is not a question whether they shall live together, for that Is settled beyond the power of recall, but of how they shall live together, whether laceably, tolerantly, even helpfully, or In a relation of Intensifying hostil ity ripping Inevitably Into a day of war and horror. .What Is needed is the pietist re crse of the spirit whiCh the South Carolina senator perversely exhibits moderation, patience, even benevo lence and at least forbearance. The clement from which most Is to be hoped Is the moral and high-minded sentiment in the south, reinforced by the Intelligent self-interest of the pro gressive business community. It is steadily dojng much and getting into position to do more to ameliorate race adjuetments, and it is little short of a high crime for any man, north or south, and especially for any southera man of note, to throw obstacles in the way and to make worse a situa tion already bad and dangerous. THtl MISSOURI RIVUH. Public thought is again being turned in the direction of the Missouri river and the rehabilitation of com merce on that turbulent stream is again considered. The advantage of water transportation la' unquestiona ble. Neglect of the Missouri river as a factor in commerce has been due solely to the fact that the country it traverses has developed at a rate that would not brook the delay of water tronmuirtatiitn Th. n .1 -M ,lu.p ",'. .aiiuu, , 1 1 g I a 11 11 vU 1 i . v. i j carries today the same volume of water and flows in the vaaie general direction as it did au hundred years ago when Captains Lewis and Clark followed it from its mouth to that magnificent scene in the heart of the Rockies, where the Missouri Is born of the turbulent union of the Jeffer son, Madison and Gallatin. Tho ob ject of that expedition was to estab lish communication by water, if possi ble, between the eastern and western coasts of the United States. This ex pedition determined the navigability of the Missouri river as far as the Great Falls, and for more than halt a century its bosom bore the freight of the great northwest. The coming of the iron horse drove the slow-going and uncertain steamboat from the river and now for twenty-five years the Missouri has practically been abandoned. Much misdirected effort, has been J expended with the process of restoring j the Missouri river to its usefulness as. an artery of commerce. Considerable sums of money have been wasted in a vain attempt to check Its erratic cur rent and confine it within well defined limits. Experience has proven what may and may not be done with the Missouri. Present projects have the advantage of this experience and are basing their calculations on fairly ac curate knowledge of . the vagaries of the great stream. ( i i A line of boats is plying with con siderable regularity between Kansas City and St. Louis and bulky freight is being handled at a rate Tar below what the railroads ask for similar service. Omaha has been invited to come in and patronize a similar line and the project has a number of en thusiastic supporters. No question exists as to the feasibility of the plan. It only remains to determine that the shippers are willing to avail them selves of the advantages afforded by water transportation. Public interest in the matter can go no farther. The question must now be decided by pri vate Individuals. Local packers express themselves as well pleased with the operation of the new inspection law up to date and give assurance that the meat industry will flourish under the new law even as it did under the old. The Omaha packers wernever niuch concerned in the outcry raised by the investigation, for the reason that none of the 'com plaint made was' lodged against their plants. On this fact they are to'be congratulated. Omaha tookf an important part In the-proceedings of the Transmissls sippl congress at-Kansas City and is now preparing to be equally active in the Rivers and Harbors congress which meets at Washington. Omaha's place on the map is being very defi nitely fixed. Chancellor Andrews pays the in coming state officers a very high com pliment and one that Is well deserved. If the chancellor was a little more familiar with Nebraska history he would tea lire just how much his as sertion really means. Some lawyers will learn that the day Is long past when charges of "graft" can be silenced by the state ment that Investigation will smirch the reputation of some honored federal official but this plea has been ad vanced in the Utah coal land hearing. With Japan finding Corea about all that it cau handle in a commercial way, the door of Manchuria can be ex pected to open sooner than otherwise expected, but it is probable that when other nations pass through they will find Islanders occupying front seats.. Reports frofn the Chinese coast, where people are being killed with mines set during the recent war, calls attention to the necessity of an inter national agreement compelling bellig erents to pick up tbelr chips when they are through woik.

The people of this country do not fully realize the distinction t.'iut attaches to our corn crop. It Is a crop that for the most part is peculiar to this country and by many million bushels exceeds tvery other If not all others in it. The most recent government report upon this j ear's yield, ' which is no longer a matter of guesswork, but a practically determinable quantity, makes It MW.QfjO.Ow bushels, or UH.flCO.OiM bushels mare than last year, which also broke all previous records. This means a money value to the country of more than tl.l0O.O00.ndu. Forty years ago the crop was 867,948,296 bushels, and Urg as those fig ures seemed at the time, we have this year returns of over three times as much. It in said that this is not a cereal that j goes abroad and helps to pay off our Euro I pea a "finance bills," Inasmuch as tha an nual export Is only between 10 and 20 per cent. That la true of direct shipment of the grain, but It Is not true when wa con sider Us relation to other articles of stan dard commerce. "Cornfed" is an American term. Literully It means that for rapid and rich fattening of either hogs or cattla it Is the grain upon which wa most de pend. Other countries may hava sweeter pastures, but nens other can equal us in what Is known as stall-fed beef and pork. This fact Is so generally recognisod that we apply tha term "cornfed" In a figura tive aense to many things that have ma tured quickly to a very prosperous condi tion. It is applied to trusts and to heavy dividend combinations of all kinds. More than anything else corn Is the foundation of national prosperity. In an average year wa consume about 2,2'io.OiU.OOu bushels in our own country and It ought to have its praises sung by home market clubs all over the land. Tt Is fortunate that we car find so many uses fur it, bettause our ef forts to win favor for It In foreign coun tries hava not been brilliantly successful, though at International expositions and In other ways we have given demonstrations of Its infinite variety and Its substantial value. In forty more years we should be producing lO.OiO.UAtM) bushels a year. The average yield to the acre is now not over twenty-five bushels, when It might easily b made that twice that with cloer culu- vatlon.

It seems to be an Inevitable concomitant of those Arctic exploration that the world must be shocked and grieved by tab s of needles suffering and accusations of criminal neglect and folly. Although lh"y are invariably begun in an ostentation of confidence that "this time" th mistakes of the past have !eou thoroughly fore stalled, they as Invariably end In failure afier a repetition of nearly every blunder thnt has crowded chronicle with tragedy. On the occasion of Peary's last departure we were assurtd that he had at lust suc ceeded In collecting the Ideal equipment for his task. He had been furnished wl'h eveiy agency he asked for. His prepara tions covered every conceivable emergency and contemplate.! every posslbla vicissitude. Kxperb nee had done its prfect work.

He had fitted It. down to minutest detail, with an enlight ened knowledge, an almost superhuman provision. He had everything he wanted everything which the liveliest Imagination, Informed by prayerful thought and the most prolonged personal observation, could suggest.

Fur ther along wo may have It proved to us that Peary's "dash" has discovered some great scientific, secret s-qf Incalculable value to the human race. Further along, also, w may hear something of Interest from the hired men of the pai-ty. In all re spects at present visible, however, the country at largo will perceive In this last expedition nothing that differs materially from Its predecessors.
