In charging that Speaker Cannon

a result of the riral admitted to have

York has stirred the temper of the
speaker Into expressions more charac
teristically violent than parliamentary
Mr. Cannon's denial of the Parsons
charges Is coupled with the statement
that If the New Yorker Is looking for
fight the speaker Is wlllln'. Parsons"
allegations specify that a corrupt com
pact existed which extended to legis
lation at Albany, but as his charges
Involve both parties 1n New York
alike, the exact purpose In airing them
at this time mystifies the politicians of
that city, where no Immediate and con
clusive effect on the pending mayor
alty campaign Is apparent, though
probably Mr. Parsons Intended to
throw the limelight upon Tammany's
well-grounded preparations for elec
toral frauds, one of the fruits of the
congressional alliance having been, ac
cording to Mr. Parsons, the killing of
a bill at Albany to make Tammany
frauds more difficult..
If Mr. Parsons' explosion does noth
ing else, It will serve to emphasize In
the popular mind the evils of trading
between political parties that should
be opposing one another. But It Is
likely to go further, for some enter
prising Insurgent Is apt to Inquire If
It Is true that the speaker has been
the beneficiary of a barter of repub
lican votes In the New York state legis
lature In exchange for Tammany's
votes In the national house. Should
this result In a specific Investigation,
Speaker Cannon, shrewd veteran that
he Is, has come out successful from
other awkward predicaments, and may
be depended on to make a vigorous
Belt-Justification. Whether the speaker
emerges with credit or with discredit,
the Parsons episode will probably fur
nish zest and spectacle to a Hesslon
which promised to be devoted to prosaic
things.
A. New Use for Admirals.
To the lay mind an admiral Is of
little service, In times of peace, ex
cept to put on a fierce frown, a cocked
hat and go on parade In a glory of
gold lace. But a new use for admirals
has been found, In the shining example
of Rear Admiral George W. Melville,
who, since he returned from the Arctic
with the bones of the Ill-fated Jeanette
expedition, has done something besides
sit astride of a ship's log and whittle
shavings from it.
Mr. Melville has had turbines on his
mind. And out of the turbulence thus
engendered he has evolved a theory
which Westlnghou8e is crystallizing
Into steel and which promises to revo
lutionize shipbuilding to such a point
that every nation will have to rebuild
Its navy. The problem of the turbine
has been to adjust Its great speed to
the economy of the slower propeller.
Mr. Melville has accomplished this by
means of a reduction gearing' that is
simplicity itself, now that he has d1s
covered the principle. Shipbuilding;
Interests are instantly acclaiming him
as one of the greatest of inventors,
an epoch-maker, for they see in the ap
plication of the Melville Invention a
means of making ships lighter, more
shapely, speedier and vastly cheaper.
As an example, It is claimed. that in
the case of the Mauretanla it could be
replaced with 2,150 tons less weight,
and two knots more speed, at a aavlng
of $2,000,000 in construction. Light
ening the machinery moans more cargo
room In merchant ships and oppor
tunlty for heavier armor on men-of
war.
In the light of his achievement for
swifter and cheaper vessels, the public
can afford to be good natnred regard
ing Admiral Melville's recent caustic
utterances and forgive him for being
one of the first to assail Cook's claims
of polar discovery. If the promise
pans out, Admiral Melville will have
accomplished something greater than
both Cook and Peary.
Americans' Ambitions Abroad.
Vanity and folly continue to mark
the conduct of some of our rich Amer
icans who have vast money to spend
In their effort to conquer more
worlds, they turn to old Europe and
seek to revive dead glories in which
their personality may shine. The
daughter of J. P. Morgan coveted the
palace styled the Reggla, at Mantua
and sought to possess it in the hope
that here she might revive the glories
of the famous court of Isabella J'Eate,
one of the most gifted of women ofthe
Italian renaissance. - But her father's
offer of $5,000,000 for this magnifi
cent historic structure was rejected by
the government, which holds Reggla
as a relic and a monument.
Coincident with this upset to Mo
gan plans, comes the confession of
Mrs. William Ellis Corey that her
spectacular entertaining in Paris has
been with a view to working out am
bltlons to outshine Madame de Pom
padour as the most glittering of social
leaders since the days of Louis XV.
She desires to revive the glory of those
times when woman was the alluring
magnet at whose table and in whose
salon the great men gathered, for vari
ous purposes and with varying results.
America has not the spirit for these
undertakings. The call of the galtles
and frailties of the dead past of the
old world must be sought for. by those
who seek it. on other shores. Neither
can the atmosphere which ia coveted
as illustrated by these recent cases
be imported from the chateau country
to American soil. There Is a bigger
and broader and gsander scope for
manhood and for womanhood In the
fresh new atmosphere Of American In
stitutions and American destinies than
atnong the faded memories of an arti
ficial glory long since dead. Live and
progressive Americans, knowing how
good, how virile, life is In their pwn
land, and how vast are the possibilities
of wealth In the development of these
splendid activities, are amazed when
ever they have occasion to contemplate
such an ambition as sovereignty over
the revival of the old world's van
Isbed vanities.
A Terrible Threat.
And here comes our old friend,
Edgar Howard, to the rescue of Mr.
Bryan's pet deposit guaranty law,
whose constitutionality has been ques
tioned in the federal court for the dis
trict of Nebraska, with this terrible
threat:
Suppose the federal court shall kill the
Nebraska law. What .next? Well, If
the federal court shall kill the law. It will
be about time for the people to begin to
elect members of congress who will pledge
themselves to kill all tha federal courts,
except tha supreme court of the United
States. The other federal courts have but
one excuse for existence. The record reads
that they devote mors energy to kill good
laws which great corporations want killed.
Such courts are a menace to the publio
welfare. They should be abolished.
This ought to produce Immediate
results. What federal Judge will dare
to kill a law knowing that by so doing
he will be killing the federal court
over which he, himself, presides?
Here Is the alternative either up
hold the deposit guaranty law, which
Mr. Bryan forced through his late
democratic legislature, or prepare to
have the federal courts go out of busi
ness. The only place in which Judge
Howard fails to make himself clear is
whether a decision upholding the de
posit guaranty law will induce him to
withdraw his demand for the abolition
of tha federal courts, and enlist him
for their defense and protection.
Crane's Interrupted Mission.
Secretary Knox's extraordinary ac
tion in halting Minister Crane just as
he was about to embark on his mis
sion to China is undoubtedly due to
the discovery by the secretary of state,
on his resumption of duties at Wash
ington, that Japan had been up to
more of its tricks in Manchuria. It is
known that the Japanese have stead
fastly sought to obtain from China
immense exclusive concessions, and
that since the Russian war Japan has
been extending its grasp on Man-
churtan affairs, all in direct violation
of what the United States considers its
rights and the rights of other nations
in 'the open door policy to which this
country stands committed.
Mr. Crane was chosen for the Chi
nese post because of his business ex
perience, it being considered that the
chief questions in the Chinese empire
would be commercial, but in meeting
these very problems among the orien
tals he has need of all the diplomacy
with which the instructions of the State
department can equip him. If, as is
surmised, Japan is suspected of acting
in bad faith in Chinese affairs, Mr.
Knox has done well to recall Mr. Crane
for.' the purpose of Instructing him
definitely; apd thoroughly as to the at
titude of the United States in the far
east. This is a case in which it Is
essential that the American minister
should be fully forewarned and fore
armed. Omaha's Steady Growth.
Visitors to Omaha are unanimous in
noting, and remarking upon, our city's
steady growth. People who live here
all the year around scarcely realize the
changes that are going on almost Im
perceptibly all the time, but those com
ing here only periodically cannot fail
to observe the noticeable improve
ments that are taking place in Omaha's
outward appearance.
This change for the better is to be
seen in nearly every direction In the
construction of handsome new build
ings in the business center and attrac
tive residences and dwellings in the
outskirts that are filling up the vacant
spaces and driving out the hideous
billboards and other disfigurements, in
the window displays and night illumi
nations of our merchants growing
more strikingly artistic, in our more
densely thronged thoroughfares. In our
parks and boulevards acquiring the
beauties of age and better care, and
in the whole scene putting on more
and more the metropolitan aspect.
While it is gratifying to have vis
itors take cognizance of this progress,
we must. Of course, realize that there
is still room for improvement, and that
much work is already cut out for the
immediate future. But what is done
should be the spur and Incentive to
still greater efforts to complete the
transformation of Omaha Into the most
attractive city in the whole middle
west. i
. All the meat offered to consumers
on the market should be properly In
spected at some stage of transit from
the farm, or range, to the butcher
shop, tha only question being by what
authority. Meat packers doing busi
ness across state lines are Inspected
under authority of the federal gov
ernment, and meat packers doing busi
ness wholly within the etate should be
Inspected under authority of the state
government. If the state authorities
do not discharge their responsibility it
may be up to the city authorities to
furnish the medium of projection, but
the duty of providing the machinery
of inspection really belongs to the
stat.
Mrs. Belmont, the wealthy suffrag
ette, considers her crusade advanced
because she found John Mitchell in a
mood receptive to her views, but if she
were familiar with the history of her
own cause she would know that organ

suffrage long before it attracted popu
lar interest Still, no candidate would
lose the labor vote merely because he
did not favor woman suffrage.
The water-logged statesman who
staked his reputation as an engineer

000. The report of the appraisers re
turned the water works at $6,256,000,
and it is saTt to say that the guess
on the street railway cannot be pro
portionately any worse.
Humbugs set up as models are

needs no pompous effigy; it is its own
enduring monument.
Our amiable democratic contem
porary, the World-Herald, thinks that
the trouble with the democratic party

rather with "the official servants of

Another railroad from Des Moines
to Council Bluffs is being projected,
and any railroad which has a terminal

but It would seem that the field should
be more inviting to the northwest and
southwest than to the east.

SCARCITY OF ARM 1 SIRGEOM.
Supply of Aspirant Far Below th
Demand.
Boston Advertiser.
The Interesting announcement Is made
that the result of the examinations held
a few weeks ago in all parts of the country
for appointment to commissions In the
army medical corps have produced but
about half the number of provisionally
qualified candidates needed to fill th ex
iting vacancies. Why? Army surgeons
ask, but do not seek to answer their own
query. It is pointed out that formerly the
difficulty in obtaining satisfactory candi
dates was attributed to the lack of high
grade positions to which promotions could
be made. It was believed that with the In
crease of service pay and the Improved
chances of advancement there would be
more candidates and the vacanclea would
bo filled. The Initial pay of a new ap
pointee amounts to more than $3,000 a year.
The known advantages In the way of pro
motion and certainty of Income and final
retirement at the age of 64 years, or be
fore that time, for disability would, it was
thought, prove attractive. It has not done
so.
Th explanation Is probably to be found
In the same fact which militates against
enlistment In regular army service by the
average young man. This is not a military
nation; and Individuals look for something
more than an assured living something
more, not merely In money, but In life,
broadly speaking. Service as an army surgeon-
may not be a strictly military life,
with all Us restrictions, but It Is near
enough to that to repel the average young
man Willi a physician's degree, who ees
a career before him and who regards ser
vice In th army medical corps as unduly
bounding to bis horizon. This may not be
a fair point of view, but It Is safe to nay
that it Is th common one. Even th glit
tering example of that most successful of
army surgeons, Oeneral Leonard Wood,
cannot suffloe to offset th average young
doctors' unwillingness to tl himself down
to a restricted practice.
Mental Healing
Aa Official Explanation of th
Dlffsreno Between, Christian
Sci.no and Mesmerism.
Alfred Farlow. chairman of the Com
mittee on Publication. First Church of
Christ Scientist, Boston, Mass., write to
the Outlook, New York, as follows:
In your Issue of August 2X appeared an
article by II. Addlngton Bruce entitled
"The Origin and Evolution of Mental Heal
ing," In which the writer expresses a con
clusion that Christian Science has been
evolved from magnetism or mesmerism.
Poslbly he may have adopted this con
clusion from the mere fact that the dis
covery of Christian Science came after the
discovery and practice of magnetism.
In any event, Mr. Bruce has not taken
Into consideration the point that Christian
Science could never have been evolved
from mesmerism, In which, as he declares,
"th Ills are suggested out of a patient,
for the reason that every form of mag
netic treatment la dependent upon the
human will, while Christian Science es
chews the carnal mind. Magnetic healing
places no reliance whatever upon the
divine mind, as does ChrlEtian Bolenee, and.
to use th words of one of the most promi
nent of modern advocates of so-called men
tal therapeutics, "it is not necessarily
religious."
Christian Selene might have been
evolved In spit of any prior belief In the
beneficent action of the carnal mind; that
Is, one might outgrow a dependence upon
the human will and thus advance above
and beyond It to the discovery of Christian
Science. In such a case, however, it should
not be said that Christian Science has
been evolved from mesmerism, but rather
that It has been discovered in spit of
one's temporary belief in mesmerism.
The following documentary evidence will
give our readers a definite understanding
of the difference between Christian
Science and the practice of Mr. Quimby,
from whom Itnv erroneously alleged that
Mrs. Eddy derived her Ideas.
In a verified and corroborated affidavit
dated January 22, 1907, Mrs. Jan T.
Clarke, . whose husband was a patient of
Mr. P. P. Quimby In October, 1865, only a
few months before Mr. Quimby died, in
February, 1806, declares: "W found Mr.
Quimby to be a genial, kind-hearted man.
His wife was of the New England type,
and their home comfortable." In describ
ing his method of treatment, Mrs. Clarke
says:
'He placed both of his hands In a basin
of water, then the left hand upon
the patient's stomach and th right
hand upon the patient's head. He
slightly manipulated both the atom
act and the head. The immediate effect
was as if a hot iron had been placed
upon the patient, and the sensation seemed
to com from Mr. Qulmby's hands. I my
self took two treatments from him for a
long-standing complaint. The treatment
win as above. Upon experiencing the hot
sensation I asked htm, 'How did you come
by this power and what ia it?' He an
swered definitely, 'I do not know how nor
when, nor do I know what it Is. I think
It is probably electricity passing from me
to the patient.' The treatment in Mr.
Clarke's case was daily continued from
thirty to sixty minutes, during which time
Mr. Quimby would describe the patient's
symptoms mora accurately than the patient
himself could. After the treatment Mr.
Quimby would go out to his barn or gar
den and work off tha pain and disease
from his own body, claiming , that th
treatment drew tha disease from th
patient to himself. Mr. Quimby
had been ill much of the time since his
first treatment of Mr. Clarke, frequently
rising from his bed to give my husband
attention.
"He did not teach a system of healing
disease nor did he advocate any system.
He did not know wherein lay his power,
but believed it to be due to electricity. He
never described the nature, cause, etc., of
disease, but did describe symptoms. H
did not attempt to account for disease as
mental. He recommended the use of drugs
In my husband's case, at least, and had
the services of a physician in his last Ill
ness. Ha never attributed his ability to
heal to Ood. In fact, he never spoke of
God and was not a religionist."
The following is quoted from an affi
davit, dated February 23, 1907, by Mrs.
Emma A. Thompson: "I became ac
quainted with Dr. Quimby for the first
time in 1863. His treatment consisted In
placing bands on his wrists, plunging his
hands Into cold water, manipulating the
head, and making passes down the body.
He asked me to concentrate my mind on
him and to think of nothing and nobody
but him. As the relief cam to me
h suffered greatly himself, saying that
he took on my pain. I learned afterwards
that his pain waa so intense that it be
came necessary for my father to assist
him to bed, where he remained until he
was called 'to treat mo again tor a re
currence of the pain. H left in
structions for me to think of him and
drink water until relief came. Ther was
nothing In Dr. Qulmby's method of treat
ing disease which bears any resemblano
to Christian Science. He never spoke of
Ood and never referred to any other power
or person but himself. As far aa I know,
he had no manuscripts or books relating
to his subject. He gave me nothing to
read and no explanation of his power.
I distinctly recall that before he left our
home my father offered him a check for
ILOOO If he would Impart to him or any
member of his family his method of treat
ing disease. To this tha doctor replied, 'I
cannot. It do not understand it myself.' "
There Is only on other fact necessary
to end this discussion forever: namely,
there is nothing in Mrs. Eddy's teachings
that la In any way akin to what Mr.
Quimby believed and practiced. Further
more, Mr. Quimby waa a consistent man,
and If he had believed in the alines of
mind, as Mrs. Eddy teaches, he could not
have practiced It. He would have practiced
Christian Science Instead.
The careful student of Mrs. Eddy's writ
ings Is aware that she discriminate
sharply between the mind "that was in
Christ Jesus" and the carnal mind that
Is "enmity against Ood." ,
Christian Science Is a repetition of th
curative methoda of Jesus Christ, who
ascribed his healing powers to Ood. "Th
Son." he said, "can do nothing of him
self, but what he seeth the Father do."
The mind that is Ood la tha only healer,
according to Christian Science, and this
mind acts without caprice, and for good
only.

I
Other Thins Beside Wheat and Cera
Hake Land Valuable.
Charles M. Harger in the Atlantic.
Five year ago it waa freely predicted
that land values had reached their height,
but they are 20 to 40 per cant higher now
than then. This has led to the division of
farms. Th families of the first comers
are grown. The second generation has
com to the fore, and 1 taking part in the
business of the communities. They have
grown up with the country and know what
it can produce, and Juat how valuable It
Is for the purpose of production and for a
home.
Here and there is on who declares that
th expansion of price and incoming of
Immigration Is beyond the limits of busi
ness safety. It is pointed out that land
is selling in places for price in excess of
any possibility of paying Interest from the
products of the fields. But there are other
things that make land valuable and desir
able besides wheat and corn. Conveniences
of life, health and nelghborllness add to
th value of the farm. When th buyer,
come to even newer land h finds schools
established, rural telephone line, and free
rural delivery. He discover that church
ar many, and social organisations of a
pleasant sort numerous. In short, he finds
that th communities out on the high
plains ar not very different from those In
th Ohio valley, except that there ar aom
vacation delights impossible unless a 600
mile Journey is taken. For the lak and
th river h must find compensation in
the sunshine and the prairie, with th
probability that he will mak a larger In
come, proportionately, on his capital than
h could have don farther east.
INDIAN COH.t,
Tribute to the Country' Premier Har
vest. Philadelphia Press.
American farmera are about to husk and
put Into- their granaries $1,600,000,000 worth
of corn. Willi not the very biggest, this
Is among the banner crops, ever grown.
Corn Is distinctly American. Wheat and
rye grow all around the world above and
below th equator. A long ago as
Joseph's day In ancient Egypt wheat cut
an Important figure In man's destiny.
But corn is modern so far aa the white
man knowa of It, and It Is American.
With the potato and tobacco it Is one of
our debts to th Indians. True some
"malxe" la cultivated In other lands, but
nowher else except perhaps In Argentine
does It constitute an Important part of any
country's agricultural product.
Pile all th cotton and wheat In one
grand heap and they will only equal th
value of our corn. A It requires less than
luO daya to plant, grow and mature this
crop, it alii be seen that alnce May 1 laat
each day has contributed about $10,000,000
to th production of wealth that never
existed before.
Th Indian can afford to have his head
taken from th American cent. He has
given hi nam to th world's premier
harvest and to thl country' source of
greatest wealth.

Ootober Is here, the bright month of tha
With array that 1 brilliant and biasing,
When their coloring gorgeous enrapture
th eye.
Ne'er tired of delightedly gaslng;
Th month of the chestnut in full ripened
burr,
Of parties to seek it come gaily,
When their laughter rings loud, "mid th
rustling of leaves,
And a country trip Is a feast dally.
Now mellow the air with 'the warmth of"
the sun,
Yet a ciispnes which Beta th blood
racing,
A brilliance of sky and a brightening of
tars
And a feeling of life cool and bracing;
And the languor of summer falls off ilk
the mist.
When the spirit springs up to be doig.
When the kiss of the breexe on the up-1
lifted brow
To vigor and action I suing. (
E'en flower grow hardy and put on rich
tints,
And strength Is th keynote of living.
When nature from storehouse vast of bar

New energy seems to be giving
Ah, this Is the month when her lover f
forth,
When each one In deep wood la a
rover.
This dearest and cheeriest, richest and
rare
This beautiful month of October!
