Scholar and Athlete.
Whether he be considered as the
scholarly athlete or tho athletic
scholar, that Individual Is getting due
recognition from the practical world.
Physical prowess enlists admiration at
large, as Is attested by the acclaim be
stowed upon the champion of every
contest, whether hearty-brute or agile
gentleman. But ho one ever expects
to see the strictly physical hero occu
pying high place In affairs. Sim
ilarly, the devotee of manly sports has
not always been regarded seriously,
and the question has even been raised
whether the colleges wer not devoting
too much attention to athletics,
thereby possibly diverting students
from development along useful lines.
The answer to such criticism is met
by the recent appointment of a fa
mous halfback and an Intercollegiate
golf champion to Important posts In
the government service, where keen
mentality Is necessary to administer
nice points of law, finance and diplo
macy. Mr. Taft Is a shrewd Judge of
human values, and he recognizes the
worth of a robust brain In a robust
body, when both have undergone sys
tematic co-operative training.' Hith
erto the athletic man of affairs has
found his chief field of public recog
nition In the pages of fiction, where
the clergyman with varsity muscles
suddenly evolves heroism, but of late
even those leaders among men who
had no athletic ywrth are coming to
understand the merits of physical ex
ercise.
It Is this reawakened general Inter
est In athletics that has led to the
placing of emphasis on the usefulness
of the athletic scholar. He Is hardly
a new discovery, for he has had his
place, and that a high one, constantly
In the work of life. But your true ath
lete is a modest fellow, and when he
finds his field of endeavor he seldom
seeks self-exploitation, but carves out
his career by the same earnest effort
that marked his days with books and
apparatus while at school.
An Election Straw.
The congressional by-election In the
Sixth Illinois district has been ex
pected at the outset to be a test of the
voters' attitude concerning the recent
tariff legislation, but such a ppriiitnr
campaign developed that It la not easy
to read any particular lesson In the
returns. Certainly the result cannot
be accepted as an exhibit against the
new tariff law, for while only half the
vote was brought out, the relative nor
mal republican majority was main
tained. Mr. Moxley, the successful
republican candidate, was Senator Lor
lmer's personal choice for succession
to his seat In the house, and In the face
of the bitter hostility of the Chicago
republican newspapers because of his
deal with the democrats at Springfield,
Mr. Lorlmer may claim a victory which
Is- largely a personal one. So many
conflicting Interests were brought Into
the canvass that It is not safe to draw
conclusions, although the" fact that
speaker Cannon took the stump for
Mr. Moxley, and Invited any rebuke
the voters desired to register against
Cannonlsra, gives some significance to
the republican majority maintained
against both democratic and Independ
ent nominations of considerable
strength.
Triumph of the Mind Wave.
When Young America comes to the
rescue, we may be sure that It will
be by the most approved and up-to-date
method, as witness the experience
of Father Knickerbocker at the behest
of his hopefuls furnishing a startling
example of the progress of the rising
generation. While the parents of the
metropolis had been in wonderment
over the spirit rapping of the visiting
Italian medium, and had been puzzling
their heads over other occult problems
of the day, the children, In their
straightforward, practical way, have
scored a real victory along telepathic
lines.
It seems that the adults bad been
unable to convince the Board of Educa
tion of the needs of a new high school.
Earthly methods falling, jlie children
took up the crusade, and appealed to
the higher realms of thought. At a
fixed moment, three thousand of them
stopped dead In their tracks, with face
turned In the direction where the
Board of Education was assembled,
pointed their forefingers Bt the recal
citrant budget-spenders, and concen
trated their thought on a preconceived
prayer designed to compel the erec
tion of the new school. The result
was Instantaneous, In the adoption of
a resolution authorizing construction,
and Is bound to be heraldfcd as a tri
umph of the mind sweeping a may ob
stacles. Yet the uninitiated may be
pardoned the lingering suspicion, that
It may have been only a case where
the School board had hadfall the bom
bardment it could withstand and took
the easiest way out of a bad dilemma.
An Echo from the Fast.
The death of Solon Chase, farmer
orator of Chase's Mills, removes not
only a familiar figure from the local
life of Maine, but also a landmark of
devotion to a lost cause. For years
he had been forgotten by the public,
yet thirty years ago he was a national
figure, and his passing serves to re
awaken some of the echoes of the
strife of American politics.
Solon Chase was a greenbacker of
the greenbackers. The west will re
member him as the man who drove a
yoke of oxen from New England
nearly half way across the continent,
and stumped the country for the
greenback, utilizing his haywagon as
a rostrum. At that time he was near
lng 60 years, and the homely earnest
ness of the graybeard had much, to do
with the gains made by the doctrine
that he preached.
Few of the younger voters of today
could give more than a hasy suggestion
of what the greenback creed was de
signed to accomplish, so completely
has the party been burled under the
successive campaign waves, but to the
elders there will come recollections of
the zealous attempt to prohibit bank
note circulation, the relegation of coin,
and the establishment of the green
back aa the only currency exchang-
able on demand for Interest-paying
bonds. At the height of their career,
the greenbackers controlled a popular
vote of more than a million, and had
fourteen representatives In congress.
But the party went the way of many
of Its predecessors. Even the names
of Its leaders have been forgotten,
aside from such presidential nominees
as Peter Cooper, James B. Weaver and
Benjamin F. Butler; and Solon Chase
was one of the few backwoodsmen who
clung to the spirit of the party until
bis death.
Billboard Reform.
It Is a self-evident fact that the bill
board nuisance in Omaha has not only
attained gross proportions, but Is
steadily spreading and becoming more
offensive. The so-called regulation of
billboards in Omaha Is no regulation
at all, because it Imposes no restric
tions that tend seriously to obstruct or
prevent the maintenance of this
nuisance.
Over In Chicago the Municipal Art
league has proclaimed a program for
billboard reform of which It will be
well for other cities to take notice.
The Chicago council Is asked to take
measures covering the following
points:
1. To require billboard companies to ob
tain frontage conaents as follows: Pro
hibiting the location of any billboard on
property froutlng on any boulevard or
public park, or In any block of any atreat,
In which two-thirds of the buildings on
both sides of the street In the block are
devoted to exclusive residence purposes,
unless tha consent in writing la obtained
from the owners or their agents of a ma
jority of tha frontaca fronting or abut
ting on both sldea of the street of any
block In which such billboard or atgn
board Is proposed to be erected, and to
file such written consent with the com
missioner of bull. lings before a permit is
granted for such erectloi.
2. To prohibit the erection of billboard
on the roofs of buildings.
8. To allow the billboard companies to
construct billboards sevznteen feet high,
as they are now being constructed.
This Is a very moderate program.
The requirement of the consent of ad
jacent property owners liable to be af
fected by the billboard nuisance Is a
reasonable condition which should ap
ply to billboards wherever they are
put, whether In residence or business
districts. The roof billboards are like
wise more menacing to safety and
more conducive to spread of fire even
than the street billboard, and should
not be tolerated under any terms. The
two-story billboard, furthermore,
should be high enough without going
Into the sky-scraper class, and the pro
priety of limiting the height and dis
tance from the sidewalk Is plain. Just
because the owners of vacant lots are
too devoid of enterprise to Improve
them with buildings and can get a few
dollars rental from the billboard men
is no reason why they should be per
mitted freely to disfigure the whole
city, and to the detriment of all the
neighbors and public generally.
Our amiable democratic contem
porary, the World-Herald, is living on
the hope that Nebraska republicans
may have a factional cat and dog fight
over next year's election, under cover
of which the democrats may sneak Into
office. The World-Herald practically
admits that the only chance for the
democrats to win In Nebraska lies in
republican dissension. But our dem
ocratic friends may be disappointed.
The mayor-elect of Indianapolis is
facing a complaint before the grand
Jury charging him with violating the
corrupt practices act by promising ap
pointive offices in return for political
support. Nebraska has had a corrupt
practices law for ten years, yet no one
has ever been called to answer under
it. The elective officers In Nebraska
have been lucky that's all.
Applications are said to be pouring
in from would-be census enumerators
who would like to help count the pop
ulation of Omaha and of this congres
sional district. The first requisite
should be assurance of ability to do a
better Job than the school census enu
merators. The defeat of tho measure before
the Chicago Board of Trade Intended
to prevent corners in foodstuffs shows
where that body'stands. The profes
sional speculator always has a corner
in his heart for a squeeze, provided Its
yield is headed toward his own purse.

PHEDATOH V LAWYERS.
Some Remark on Those Who Prey on
the Unfortunate.
Chicago Hecord-Horaid.
Every now and then a lawyer is dis
barred for some serious offense. Some
times his offense is a crime which can be
punished by the courts. At other times It
Is near to a crime, but unpunishable fur
technical reasons. Occasionally serious
abuse of patrons within the letter of the
law also liads to disbarment.
There exists, nevertheless, a large clas
of predatory lawyers whom disbarment
proceedings never reach, but who go forth
to prey upon the weak and unprotected
aa unquestionably as if they operated wl.h
a Jimmy and a kit of burglar tools In the
middle of the night. The fact that they
are tolerated to exist In such large numbers
Is among the worst of the abuses that are
to be charged against the leal fraternity
at the present time.
These men are the ones who go forth
hunting business In the form of damage
suits, ard who do not hesltute to stimulate
suits of this kind where 110 good ground
fir them exist. They cause continual
heavy luxses both to the defendants In
thtse casaa who are mulcted and (o th
prosecutor who most u-sually pay their
lawyers exorbiturtlly heavy f, e . The merj
items cf court cot! alone Is a se.-lou
waste of Individual resources, whll the
accompanying burden upon the courts 1
themselves by tliev unnecessary buslnes
1 hey must handle Is an udil.d evil.
Such lawyer have been ten fl.;ckn.'
to Cherry to secure damage suits asainn
the mleing company. They are the emniies
of the company, of the lgnor.:nt and d I
ludel people who trust their ctces t'
them and of Justice Itaeir. Every rallroid
company has continually to fight fra-Jdu-Kl.t
d:ii:iuto suits, the Inception 0f uhl?h
la chargeable to predatory lawyers. Must
large factories have a similar burden. Our
cities are notorious sufferers. In tl.e ca e
of the Chicago sanitary district t' e Uw as
it exists actually put a premium on such
suits.
It Is most difficult to phrase any rule
or regulation for the bar which will leave
lawyers free to do legitimate work and
which yet will suppress this evil. To f.nd
the proper teat by which the offender
can be disbarred Is the task of the bar
Itself. The public feels the need, but can
do no inure than call attention to it.

Yes, while we sit by the fire here.
In thoughts we may walk through the
circling year.
Out where the springtime furrows rolled.
As the shining plowshare turned the mold;
Out where the sod In vernal heat
Grew soft to the tender lambkin's feet;
Out where the cultured, mellow land
Received the seed from the farmer's
hand;
Out where the orchard's fragrant flowers
Bedecked the ground with their petal
showers;
j
Out where the breathing fields lay green,
With the lines of fence and roads be
tween; Out where the pastured cattle fed,
And mothering ones their younglings led;
Where the rippling wheat and rustling
corn
Quivered and laughed In the sunny
morn, M
Whllo the wild birds flung o'er field and
lea
Their joyous notes from the new-leafed
tree;
Where over the feast of grain field ripe
The fat quail sounded hi whistling pipe,
v bile harvesters bore the noonday heat.
To gather and store the precious wheat;
Where early autumn, with milder air,
Gave vine ana tree the color most fair,
And, touched with her soft and artful
brush,
Their fruits hung low with a winning
blush.
From all these sources of life and wealth
Of comfort, content and bodily health,
We well may draw and freely confess
A feeling of truest thankfulness.

will Increase his scant stock of years by
Joining heartily In the wholesome cheer of
the youths of today.

eager, wondering eyes of children and
grandchildren.

God's children between thenl drew th
copper Into wire and sheathed it with
gutta pcrcha and laid their cable beneath
the oceans. The children worked with
their Father, and the Father worked with
KIs children. It la not one man who ha
done this. It Is not a hundred men. It
is the union of the world. It Is this union
of the children with the Father, and ol
the Father with the children. The great
victories have been the victories which
you and I have prayed for every morning
when we have wished that the Father's
will may be done on earth just aa It is
done in Heaven.
