"Man la smaller In size than qther creatures and of less physical cnduranae. Why tlicn Is he so magnified on this little world, where he Is. but an atom? What la he that the Almighty thinks so much of him? "After all man la Uod's greatest creation. That, la why God puts so supreme an em phasis fin this creature called man.

(From a Staff Corresptmilent ) LINCOLN, Jan. 28.-(Speclal.)-nepre-aentativa liaper of fawnee county brought the news to Lincoln yesterday that thu sentiment for the nomination of Secretary Taft In his part of the state In unanimous. Mr. r.uper aald he was In close touch with the republicans In his district with, with the exception of an occasional republican who favored Governor Hughes of New York, all were for Taft and no other can didate was being discussed. An effort made some time ago to start a boom In the southeast part of the state (nr Senator I.aFollettee was unable to gain any head way. The I'awuee county representative ex pressed himself in favor of sending Gov ernor She'ldon, Senator Drown, Senator Hurkett and Vlcctor Hosewater to the na tional convention as delcgatca-at-large. "If I were to solecct the delcgates-M-large." said Mr. Uaper, "1 ahould choose Senator Brown, Senator'Burkett, Governor Sheldon jind Vic tor Hosewater. All arc well known men and would add to (he strength of the delegation from NThraxka. I do not look fvr much of a fight over the makeun of tho delegation for (he reason thst not many men hi I lie state are willing to spend tlielr money and lime to go as delegates. While I have not discussed tho makeup of the delegation very much, I have heard a number of republicans express themselves In favor of sending Oovernor Sheldon as a delegate-at-large. Personally I am very - much In favor of Victor Hosewater as a delegate-at-large. He has expressed a de sire to go and I believe the great majority of the republicans of the state are In favor of sending him as a delegate. I did rot know that Senator Burkett had declined to be a candidate for a place on the delega tion. A delogatlon with such men on It would aland true for Secretary Taft and would make Nebraska felt In the conven tion and would be a great help to the sec retary." Lancaster Committee Called. The republican committee of this county has been called to meet at 2 o'clock next Saturday for the purpose of fixing the date for the "county convention and transacting any other business which may come before the committee. At 12 o'clock on the day of the meeting the county committeemen will be the guests of tho candidates on the ticket last fall at a dinner t6 be given nt the Lincoln hotel. While the call for tho committee meeting reads for the purpose of calling a county convention, It is prorable the committee will 6rder a primary. The primary, though, will be opposed for the reason that the sentiment Is so strong for Secretary -Taft In this county that the del egates will belnstructcd for Jilm practically without a contest.

Free lllirh School. Slate Superintendent McBiien has com piled a list of the free high school districts of the stale which are entitled to ctellect tuition from nonresident pupils nndeA the free blah school law tenanted by the recent legislature.. In a circular letter mailed out to school boards and county and city auper lntemtenl Mr. McBrlen reviews (he law fixing the dutiea of those who are to oper ate under It. concluding lth this para graph: When we remember that on the averaf.e there will not be .more than one pupil in attendance from any weak rural dimrict for any one yeue at any high achool under the new free high school law, the fact that such districts must pay only fc'7 free high school tuition each year, and receive bm-k from the slate Sl'JO state aid in addition to the state apportionment of public school moneys, It ia evident that our legislators e.nve us as nearly an equitable free high achool law as r Is possible for human genius to frame. The new high schooLlaw la a reciprocal proposition which will uiing great benefit to both town and country schools. It placea the burden of free hjgh school privilege for non-resident rmpils where it belongs. The average school tJX levy for the rural achool dhitrlcts of the Mute Is 14 mills and for high school and city district la mills. This shows thut school riiatricts which enjoy free high school privileges are the ones Hint should pay for It. FATA I AFFRAY AT til I.CHItlS T Frank Me.Vess Killed In a Flffbt with Delliert Walcatt.

NO WAR EI, IMMEDIATE FUTOUE Forres Are at Work, However, 'Which M ill Barely Itesnlt 1 aleaa VI i gtateamanahlf) Itrlaara a olatlor.. PA RIP Jan. a.-Andre TarOh'U, the w ell known French writer on International r'" tlcs. who sailed for America on S.il.irday to deliver a aeries of lectures on "France and Aldances" at Harvard university arid liefore the gro'ips of the Aldance I'r incase, has Just published sn interesting article In tha Revue des Deux Monies on the prcscm controversy between America ami Jnprm. After a detailed review of the events and diplomatic exchanges, he conies tj the con clusion that while neither Japan nor the I'nlled Plates wants or Is prepared for war. there ts no prospect of a permanent solution of the Immigration question tmr of avoiding the constantly growing clash of rival Interests In tho Pacific. He yn: "The Improbability of an early war Is not equivalent to the derta'nty of a. definite IKace. None of the special points which have been In issue for a year haa been definitely settled. For Instance. In the matter of the school controversy, the tw suits designed to establish the rights Of Japanese subjects have been abandomd without decision. In the matter of immi gration an expedient, arranged by a diplo matic artifice, has enabled the I'nited Htates to restrain, not to exclude, immigra tion. The Interpretation of the Oresham Kurino treaty remains controverted, the Japanese expect ijpnre from it than the Californlans are willing to accord. These questions permit teuipornry appeesements, but also brisk awakenings. And for the latter the future may furnish muny occa sions. Everything Indicates thut the hos tility to yellow lajior In America has not said Its last word. "A few mouths sgo British America wit nessed the same troubles arising from the same causes. A day will come when the questions will be general, common to the two Amerlras. At preaent Japanese Immi gration to South America Is small, but, repelled by the north. It has already com menced. In Mexico, Argentina, Chi e and Brazil It will be accepted tintll II becomea too strong. In Hawaii, tiie Philippines and Alaska the two races clash and will con tinue to clash. And neither will be din posed to yield. The clash of ld"as and Interests may some day bring the J.ipanese and Americans to close quarters. Where Danger Lies. "The Japanese, government in Its present condition will make neither a useless nor a dangerous war. But as the Japanese have changed their industrial life so they may aluo change their poll1'-'1 conditions, and the populace may some time be able to' carry the day against the counsels of the 'elder statesmen.' When the popula tion of Japan, progressing collosally, hus filled up the outlets opened by the wars with China and Russia, may it not covet Hawaii and the Philippines as It coveted Formosa and Corea. But many years must pass before that time arrives. And these years may not be lost for peace. It seems now as If the disputants were try ing In advance to avoid a new conflict by simultaneously resolving the questions of Immigration and naturalization by re sisting the admission of Japanese coolies and conferring naturalization upon Japan ese subjects who have taken up- a perman ent residence In the Cnlted States. It must bo admitted that nothing authorizes us to say that such negotiations are offi cially In -progress, but even If they are and If they resulted In an agreement, the prob lem. In Its essential elements, would still subsist. Resolved partially In the I'nited States, It might be raised elsewhere In the American continent. . " Fraore Hones for Peace. "For the present, no apparent danger; j for the future, a posBiole danger which will weigh not alone upon the United States and Japan, but uiK.n all the powers. Fiance, In this affair, must wish and does wish a pacific solution. It Is bound to the United States by -ttee stronger than treatira. Il baa found, in the course of the late Moroc can crisis, that It could count upon- the strong and active friendship of Washing ton. It enjoys with Japan old relations, which, troubled for a moment during the Manchurian war, ' have been again con firmed by the entente of 19OT. It is not for us, in a controversy where natural forces, like race and work, are to play, to decide who Is right and who Is wrong. We can only wish the adoption of regulatory meas ures, which by correcting tha too-exaggerated blfferences, will facilitate, the recon citation of the two countries." War Oat of the Qaestloa, ST PETERSBURG. Jan. 2G.-M. Shlpoff, former mlnlater of finance, returned here today after a five-months' trip In (he far east. He vaulted Japan. China and Siberia on a special government mission, the re sult of which he haa embodied in a report to the emperor, M. Shlpoff today expressed himself op timistically regarding conditions in (he ex treme orient, which he said is rapidly rj covering from the period of depression fol lowing the war. He is convinced from conversations which ha has had with prom inent men of all shades of opinion In Toklo that hostilities between the United States and Japan at present are out of tha question. M. Shlpoff was greatly Impreased by Chi nese activity In the colonization of Man churia. Although faced by the prospect of Japanese occupation of 'lie provinces, the Chinese are rushing thousands of settlers Into that country and aro displaying tho greatest energy In developing business op portunltlvs. opening mines and planning rallroadu. This tide of colonization, he said, has offered an Inspiring example to Rus sia, which ia confronted by a similar task In the development of Siberia, Many of the native Coreans, however, are leaving the country to become Russian subjects, rather than remain under Japanese sovereignty. M. Shlpoff carefully avoided comment on Japanese activity In Manchuria, but It was his opinion that China would have to- sub mit to the objections offered by Japan to the construction of a new railroad, aa Japan is fully prepared to support Its de mands.
