Explaining what has produced tut)
high cost of living. Prof. Olddlngs of
Columbia university declare:
What are materially, we valnglori
vualy boast. For 100 year we have been
a herd of wild asaea In the wlMarneas.
Now w know what the trouble Is
and bow to remedy it.
The Flow of Capital.
The main controversy precipitated
over the postal savings bank bill
sec-ms to center about the conditions
that are to surround the Investment
of the money to be deposited with the
government. It is practically agreed
that the savings bank accumulations
should be rflleposlted with the nearest
bank of the locality that shall be quali
fied as a government depository. To
mske sure that the constitutionality
of the law may not be successfully as
sailed, the president and his advisers
have urged that the government as
custodian of this money be given dis
cretion to invest it in government
bonds, there being no possible question
about the constitutional right of the
government to provide all the neces
sary machinery to float its loans and
protect its credit.
It strikes us that altogether too
much stress is being put on tbe ne
cessity of keeping the savings bank de
posits In the Immediate locality of the
original depository. Theoretically, cap
ital 'Is like the liquid contents of a
huge reservoir which flows to what
ever point it Is most needed and can
be best utilized. Of course, the actual
flow of capital la not exactly what it
Is In theory because much friction and
many obstacles Interfere with Its free
removal from one place to another,
but that this tendency Is strong and
tbe transfer of capital constantly in
progress to a measurable degree is
established beyond dispute. , Tbe
amount of liquid capital in the reser
voir may increase or decrease from
time to time, but if It is taken out of
one spigot or another it seeks a new
equilibrium and regains its level.
So whether the savings bank depos
its are invested in bonds by the gov
ernment or whether they are rede
posited in local banks and by them In
vented in bonds, or whether they only
reach tbe stage of bond Investment by
two or three series of redeposits, the
effect in practice will be substantially
the same. For a parallel we need only
look at the money which Is paid in as
premiums for life Insurance and held
in reserve by the big life Insurance
companies. These life insurance prem
iums are Just as much savings deposits
as would be straight-out savings ac
counts, Several states have undertaken
to require the investment of the money
paid in by policy holders to be loaned
out or to be Invested in securities in
the same states, but no noticeable ad.
vantage has been reaped from such
laws. If insurance money stays in the
states where the premiums are paid,
it simply takes the place of other capi
tal to go elsewhere. Where the atate is
a borrowing state it may facilitate the
Inflow, but where tbe state Is a lending
state it cannot permanently check the
outflow. . .
Students of political economy are
generally convinced that It would ba
highly-desirable to have a natural flow
of capital without artificial obstacles
In the channel, just as it would be de
sirable to have a similar automatic
distribution of free labor bo that it
would relieve unemployment at one
point and supply tbe demand for labor
at another. It seems to us, therefore,
that the contest over the postal sav.
lngs bank bill is turning on really its
least vital feature, and that the acope
of redepoglt and investment of the
funds would be of minor consideration
except for the bearing it may have on
the point of constitutionality.
Delusion and Dissolution.
Those of us who have been reading
inspiring tales about the precocity of
an infant mathematical prodigy who
has been making the graybeards of
science sit up and take notice, will be
interested in the following letter writ
ten to the Outlook ty the father of
young Sldis, disclaiming responsibility,
The letter which is dated at Brookllne
and subscribed Borts Sidis, M. D., reads
as follows:
There has been recently so much an
noying newspaper notoriety about my boy,
William James Sldls. and my system of
education that I am forced to inake a
public statement In tha Interest of the
much-offended truth. Tha articles In the
papers, especially the popular 'Instruc
tive," "scientific" articles of the Sunday
magazine variety, are highly misleading.
In fact, some newspapers of the sensa
tional type did not hesitate to invent In
terviews, write up articles with my name
tacked on to them, and compose mathe
matical lectures supposed to have been
delivered by William James Sldla. I wish
to state that I have not given any Inter
views to any of tha papers, nor have I
written a line" for them, nor do I intend
to give interviews, nor have I aa yet pub
llHhed anything on the subject of educa
tion. While this letter does not enter spe
cific denial as to the exceptional talents
which have brought a boy of 11 years
within the portals of Harvard, yet it
conveya the Impression that much of
what haa been written about him has
been , exaggerated and greatly dis
torted, and the Inference that any child
can be put through the game paces in
the same time by following the same
method, is evidently unwarranted.
Thois "Old Maiteri."
In an open letter Paul de Longpre
makes a plea in behalf of modern art
and the living artist. He calls attention
to the "American craxa for the paint
ings of the 'Old Masters,' " and speaks
of the numberless factories in America
and Europe where 'Old Masters' are
painted by the gross, just to satisfy
the ailly ostentation of tbe new rich."
He even suggests that tha "Old Mas
ters," themselves, would turn over In
their graves if they could aee the ma
jority of the "works of art" of which
they are accused-
Paul de Longpre is himself, an ar
tist of exceptional ability and baa many
tlmttfl aeen works of talented living ar
tists supplanted by factory-made "Old
Masters" of Inferior grade. There is no
doubt tiat many modern paintings,
ranking lilgrTas real works of art, have
been relegated to the background, to
make way for the dingy and damaged
works of other years. De Longpre Bays
there are faults galore In tha old paint
ings, and it is reasonable to believe
that heroic efforts running through
centuries have developed the art of
painting in some respects, If not in all.
' Yet It ia hardly fair to aay that the
public is entirely to blame. The taste
waa cultivated In tbe first place be
cause of tbe homage which artists have
themselves paid to the painters who
have gone before. We believe there
is less tendency than formerly to dis
credit the work of modern painters of
admitted ability and to encourage ar
tlsta of today it ought not to be neces
sary to discard tbe art of the past
that has endured so well.
Mutt Husbandi Learn to Cookt
Mere man of tbe species "husband"
is up against it with no avenue of es
cape, for the all-conquering spinster
school ma'am haa uttered the final
edict. Mere man must learn , to cook.
A spinster instructor the feminine
form no longer applies, for she rules
In the University of Wisconsin, who
Is apparently of an unraathematlcal
age, has Instructed the young women
of her department that the cooking,
washing and the "drudgery" of the
household should be done by the hus
band under the direct supervision of
her majesty, the Ideal wife.
Is it possible tb'at the course of
human nature baa thus been turned
wrong aide out and the. ruling wisdom
and authority haa been usurped by the
proud and domineering man? If so,
then let the earth cave in and the
heavens blow up if we do not reduce
the specieB husband to the collar and
the leash. Mere man must learn to
cook. The spinster thus' hath Bpoken.
" 'Tls thy wedding morning. Rise, old
man, arise." Build the fire, cook the
flapjacks, wash the dishes, sweep the
house, dust tha brlo-a-brac and may
the tortures of eternal matrimony seize
you If you break a single thing. Order
the groceries, then bike down town
and earn enough to pay for them. Get
your meals to the merry entertainment
of your "supervisor" translating Greek
philosophy from Cleopatra's memoirs
or something like that. Then clean
up the kitchen. A wife, we are assured,
has reason to be prou of herself and
would like to be proud of her hus
band, too but, woe, alas,
Then, Mere Man of the Species Hus
band: When earth's last pancake has
moulded, and a batter that's twisted
and dried, has been flipped upon
earth's heated griddle and burned to
a crust as it fried; when the queen of
your foolish young faucy, the one you
dared to call your wife, la living and
bossing in splendor on insurance you
had on your life, we'll bury you down
by tbe willow and there on a tablet of
wood we'll inscribe a patbetie Inscrip
tion "Mere Man. He did what he
could,"
V
Y Wage
Earner and Farmer
In these dayg of the strike and the'
lockout a comparison in American life
in workshop and on the farm is forc
ibly brought to mind the constantly
growing difference between the station
of the wage-earner and of the1 farmer.
A common blood parentage makes
them brothers, but tbe nature of em
ployment and the resulting Ufa tend
to puah them apart. The labor union
Is, to a certain extent, dignifying la
bor and workmanship, yet to secure
recognition for the benefit of Its mem
bers It subjects their Individuality to
a degree of control undreamed of be
fore. On the other banc!, the growing
independence of the farmer is noted,
his well filled granaries and barns
hava become a proverb, ivhUe his finan
cial stability is unmatched.
When our republic, began its career
the tilling of the soil wis followed bo
universally that ours was pre-eminently
an agricultural nation. But
our country'a resources and capabili
ties for manufacturing industry Boon
i.necame apparent, wun me result tnai
ToUlnnnil With tha aualllnv Ma r
commercial prosperity came an exodus
of young people from tbe farms, until
now barely 40 per cent of our popula
tion is tilling the soil. The disparity
of the conditions and attractions ,ot
farm life as compared with city life
geqms no longer so great, and as a con
sequence the movement away from the
farm haa been checked and some seem
to think a reverse movement has be
gun. Training of Heat Inspectors.
The official announcement from
Washington that "unless a young man
la a graduate of one of those high class
college be can not even try for an ex
amination" haa placed a premium on
the work of high class veterinary col
legea with regard to thoroughness of
training for meat Inspection. Tha rea
son for this apparent advantage 1
"that the graduate or the better grade
of colleges is better grounded in the
work than tnoee who come from the
cheaper colleges. The cheap colleges
do not hava thorough courses." The de
sirability of thoroughly prepared men
for the meat inspection service has led
to competitive examination for admis
sion and in this competition, the col
lege education is telling against those
who lack it.
When it became evident, some years
ago, that a thorough Inspection of all
marketable meats was necessary, be
cause of the influence dietary elements
have upon tha public health, the de
partment in charge waa flooded with
applications for positions of Inspector.
Those applying were of various degrees
of proficiency and bad to undergo a
weeding out procesa. After tbe work
had become more systematlxed, the
tendency has been to raise tha require
ments, with the result that the appoint
ment awarded on civil service exami
nation have gone more and more to
the best trained.
Tbe difficulty of ascertaining the
pretence of tuberculosis and hog
cholera bacilli makes a thoroughly
scientific training an absolute neces
sity In meat inspection. The govern
ment recognizing the fact that the un
impaired physical well-being of the peo
ple U a chief essential to our progress
and prosperity has given the Inspec
tion bureau full discretion and the
work of selecting Inspectors has been
surrounded with ironclad rules and
requirements. The fact that many
young men Just out of college can
easily pass higher examinations than
practical men, who are a little short
on theories, but longer on experience,
is now largely offset by this strict rul
lng on eligibility for examination. Both
theory and practice are necessary in
safeguarding public health and the
most thorough qualifications in both
should be demanded, where efficiency
is desired.
' Eaiiinp; the Standard.
The animadversions at Chicago of
Dr. Henry 8. Prltchett, president of tht
Carnegie Foundation, about the over
supply of physicians in this country are
really repetitions of what he has to say
on this subject In his last report re
cently made to the trustees of that in
stitution. Ia this comprehensive review
of our educational configuration. Dr.
Prltchett declares it to be the uncom
promising purpose of the foundation,
which provides retirement pensions,
not to recognize tny college or univers
ity which has connected with it a med
ical school which ia below standard,
and goes further to say that investiga
tions which he has set on foot have
convinced him "that there has been an
enormous over-production in this coun
try of Jll-tralned doctors and half-educated
lawyers." "Unfortunately," he
adds, "many of these agencies In tbe
production of inefficient doctors and
lawyers are doing their work undar the
shelter of colleges and universities;
aome of these are on private founda
tion and aome are tax-supported Insti
tutions. Not only are the standards of
admission to these professional schools
low, but even the standards which are
professed are In many cases ovaded.
Some medical schools now sheltered by
institutions of learning are disreputa
ble aa well aa inefficient."
&it even more Important than the
declaration that the trustees of tbe
Carnegie Foundation would lend a
helping hand to no college or univers
ity, however strong in numbers or in
the prestige pf other departments,
which either sustains or shelters a low
grade law school or a medical school
unfit, for the training of menta modern
medicine, is tbe announcement that the
foundation will print at an early date
an accurate description of all the med
ical 'schools in the United (States and
Canada, setting forth their resources,
their standards and the quality of med
ical instruction which they can offer,
and will follow this later with a similar
report upon tbe law schools. When
these reports are made public, we will
doubtless have a catalogue of medical
schools and law schools with such a
rating that those which fall below the
accepted standard will be practically
on a blacklist.
The Justification of this proposed ac
tion Is said to be that no institution of
higher learning has a right to under
take tbe conduct of a school of medi
cine, except from the standpoint of the
betterment of medical education, and
that the schools which purport to turn
out doctors on a commercial basin de
serve no support and should be put out
of business. It Is explained that the
weak, and In some cases disreputable,
medical schools would tot exist except
for the fact that, even in cities where
decent medical schools are struggling
to live, distant colleges and universities
have lent the shelter of their charters
to a rival coterie of doctors to enable
them to establish an unnecessary com
peting school.
Tbe materials for the promised re
port already in hand are said to ahow
that there are In 'this country today
more medical schools than in all of
Europe; that these schools have turned
upon the public a' far larger number
of physicians than are needed; that
the majority of those physicians are
ill-trained and poorly educated, and
that the demand Is not for more med
ical schools, but for fewer and better
ones; not for more ill-trained doctors,
but for a smaller number of well
trained ones, and that an end should
be' put to the commercial exploitation
of law and of medicine.
We are sure that tbe people of this
country believe In high standards in
every "field of education. No well con
ducted medical school or law school
with good intentions should have any
reason to fear publicity of its work
and it Is gratifying to have the assur
ance of those who are In a position to
know that the medical schools and law
schools of Omaha will not suffer seri
ously by comparison with the best.
After having cleaned up $12,000,

The University of Michigan haa the

children, grand-children and greatgrandchildren.
It Is suggested that some of the en
tbuslusm manifested in the senate over
the farewell address of Colonel Gordon
of Mississippi was due to the fact that
ex-Qovernor Vardaman had been
beaten for the senatorial succession.
These surface Indications are not al
ways what they seem.
The chain Is almost complete now,
since Colonel Roosevelt announces
that "fine luck has marked every toot

certain distinguished Nebraskan would
add that fine luck has marked every
foot of Colonel Roosevelt's progress
through everything.
It Is now reported that the Swope
estate assets amounted to $4,000000,

the liabilities incident to the trial tbe
assets will look very much less than
that by this time.
