"The writer cm to bo astonished that
(!od should have marie so murh of man
and magnified him against all other crea
tures." said Pr. Huntington. "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. The
physical body la no part of the real man;
no mora se than Ja lilBjClothea. Those out
ward semblances are nut the means dc-
vised by God, .that bo. may communicate
with the external things of the world. The
physical man la but aVmclitne after all;
his body la hut his house, Ms eyes the
windows of his soul. .
"The average wngc.o the human being l
Is 1100 per year, whjijji represents the In
terest on JIO.OWi. Hence man physically la
hut a I10.CCO machine. At. least 1CO.00O are
snnualtN' destroyed by trong drink, hence
humanity exceeding In (itonetary value five
Chicago fires ore destroyed by this means.
"Man to cornhlnatlnnr of tlvc animal and
spiritual and there Is a constant bu'tle for
supremacy between the two. The orglnal
spinal column and chord, of animal creation
was horizontal, by a process of develop
ment It haa In man become perpendicular,
and fir thus the climax of creation. Shall
the spiritual or animal, rule In man? Is
the vital question which our Phrlstan
schools are seeking to answer. If by alli
ance with God the. spiritual becomes su
preme the perfection of man la evident.
There tan be no skulking In thl battle.
Von cannot fight tho battle nlone, hut
mi must have God's help.
"No hihniin being is virtuous for doing
what he tannot help doing. If man does
what he ought to lo he will excel the
angels; If not lie becomes lower than any
other animal. .This, tlcn. Is the purpose
of the Christian school, to train man for
the sklea. The chiirches cannot afford to
keep ou4 of this work, and to this end I
am here to ask you to help oir' great
college, the Wealeyan university."

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

piled a list of the free high school districts
of the stale which are entitled to ctellect

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.

The proposition to have a primary

the club lo provide a primary. At Its meet
Ing yesterday, after further discussion, the,
central committee decided upon n primary
with first and second choice for candidate

is the understanding among tho members

made in4rder that the ultimate represen

crime and the holding Mary Taloa for the

Whethi r Gillott is Domlnlck Abensi or

In Omaha, and at least once has written
that name where t would constitute forgery
If ho ts not Abensi. When he last wrote It,
it was for Captain Savage of the detective

identity or ccmjniltlng a forgery.
As soon as he was arrested he gave his

of the Minneapolis kidnaping, or the girl,
Mary Talna.

But this has not hindered tho Omaha de
tectives from taking up the search for
Mary Pnola, which began Sunday morning
and has been vigorously pussed until late
Sunday night. Almost every Influential
Italian In Omaha has been made acquulnted
with 11i case, and the detectives believe
the girl will be found.
Though there Is some mystery about the
kidnaping, tho Italian consul has made it
plain that the mother of Mary Pnola was
responsible for the conviction of a near
relative of Domlnlck Abensi, and Immedi
ately her daughter was kidnaped. Later
the mother of the girl was given to under
stand that she must secure the release of
the erlatTve of Abensi before her daughter
would be rourped to her, the kidnaper
Insisting tlat it was within the mother's
power to Secure the release of his relative.
.Gillott will be held subject to the wishes
of the Italian consul at Minneapolis and
the police authorities of that city.

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."

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

In the early days when John Hannah '.lved

over and naid he had the toothache and
requeated Herman to take him to Mlnden
to have it pulled, when the latter said
In a Joke: "It Is no tise to go to Mlnden;
I can pull your-tooth." And to his utter
astonishment. Hannah told him to go at
It. So Herman gets out a pair of wire
pliers, thinking Hannah would back out.
There. being no back-out In sight, Herman
told him to lie down on the floor dud had

stood up, exhuberant in that Joy that only
