Co-Ordinating Educational Forces. The approach of the commencement Beaon with Its cargo of free advice to young men and women who are (com letlng one stage of their education will focus attention for the time on the tremendous task which our schools and colleges are doing In preparing pupils and students for the real work of the world. Nothing bears' testimony to the colosaal progress which Is being made in all departments of human activity more than the Improved facilities for educating the young, and the advan tage that is being taken of these facil ities now as compared with only a few decades back. The ordinary high school today turns out graduates with as good educational preparation as the best colleges did up to the civil war; and the field covered by bur colleges and universities today Is a field that was almost untouched within the mem ory of the present generation. If the young people, who have all these ad vantages were not to do as well, and better, in their contributions to the welfare and progress of the world than did those who have gone before them it would be a sign of degeneracy and backsliding. i Yet while taking note of the great strides that have been made in our methods and means of education, It Is the consensus of opinion among those best qualified to judge that equal and greater changes are in prospect in the educational world. Our schools, col leges and universities have until very recently been going along each by Itself without co-ordination. The edu cational institutions of the country have yet to have their organization perfected as the Industrial, financial and other social and economic forces have been organized to prevent waste, duplication and inefficiency When our educational forces are harnessed to work together and pull in the same direction there will be almost no limit to their possible accomplishments. Romance of the Bible. None of the strange or romantic stories between Genesis and Revela tions Is to be compared with the story of the Bible itself, of its translation and circulation and its dynamic force in the world of literature. It came down through a labyrinth of lan guages, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin and Anglo-Saxon and encountered foes to its existence at every turn in his tory. Tyndall, the father of the open Bible, was burned at the stake and his books destroyed, but the attempt to stamp out the Holy Scripture but served to stimulate its spread until to day it is literally true that the Bible is read from Greenland's icy mountain to India's coral strand and holds the world under a more powerful spell than any other piece of literature. With all the societies for the distrl button of the Bible, Mrs. Russell Sage has just given the American Bible so ciety a half million dollars for the publication, contingent upon its rais ing aBlmi!ar sum, for its further dis semination. This amount is said to be needed to meet the demand for copies of the Bible in foreign lands where It is read and preached in a countless number of tongues. Whatever may be our thought as to the divine inspira tion of the 'Bible, it Is the Book of Books, the old that Is ever new. Pardon Board. The pardoning of convicts is one of the serious problems in state govern ment that haa not yet been satisfac torily solved. Some states have reached ' good results through the process of pardon boards, which make It impossible for any one man to exer else so large and bo grave a power as undoing what courts and a jury have done. If Tennessee had had a pardon board it would not now be under the ban of public reproach which the action of its governor in pardoning his political ally convicted of murder, has brought upon it. It is inconceiv able that such excesses on the part of any governor were contemplated in any state where the pardoning . power exists, but the existence of a pardon board removes the possibility for such an outrage. Minnesota has a pardon board com posed of the governor, attorney gen eral and chief justice of the supreme court and Minnesota has not suffered from many pardon disgraces since thi law went into effect. The law is its own defense. Minnesota goes on the theory that unrestricted exercise of the pardon power as is possible In Tennes see is repugnant to the principle of American government. J-t Is entirely unsafe to vest such powers lp any in dividual without safeguarding the! exercise. Nebraska has had experiences that suggest the possibility of improving our pardon laws. We have suffered some gross impositions that might have been avoided by more rigid processes or a pardon board. But an effort has been made in this state to prevent arbl trary and unwarranted pardons. After the application has been made and be fore the governor has passed upon its merits, the law provides that he shall set a date for hearing not less than three weeks nor more than six from the time of the application and that notice of this hearing shall be pub llnned in newspapers for two weeks prior to the hearing. Notice shall be sent personally to the judge before whom the person was convicted, or if that judge is dead, to bis successor and to the attorney general. All thi of course, is to afford opportunity to anyone to appear and give cause why the applicant should not be pardoned and in theory at least offers some ad vantage over laws such as must obtal In states like Tennessee, but la the en the power to pardon rests entirely with the governor. The Minnesota law seems to be superior to a law that vests this right in any one man. Individual Effort. The essential difference between the Roman Graeco civilization and ,that of today id that the former was a one man school of thought, while the pres ent is popular. Themlstocles as the type of Athenian culture in his day did the thinking for most of Athens and Marcus Aurejius laid down the law to Rome. Colonel Roosevelt in his address at the University of Berlin warned against the danger of the present civilization collapsing just as that of the ancients. fell. Yet it seems to us that the peril not alarming If it must be drawn from an analogy between these two systems. The inherent weakness of one is the dominant strength of the other. Colonel Roosevelt' does not believe our civilization la going to fall; he sees in the future much more of good than he did in the past and believes we are on the threshold of the beet era in history. The saving grace of a na tion is in the personal character of its citizenship, as he has advocated in all his European addresses. And while this counsel is good, It may as well be admitted that the citizenship of this country is tending toward the very goal to which he points it. The in dividual amounts to more than he ever did. He is more independent in his thinking as well as his acting. The American youth at college had already begun to do his own thinking even before he received that excellent ad vice. The industrial and political achievements of the day prove it. The American is an inventor and a pro- ucer; he is rapidly divorcing himself from the conventionalities of industry, science, literature and even religion and politics, and the probability is on the side of progress rather than re trogression in this line. The spirit of social discontent is rampant, though held within a restraint of Intellectual balance that promises the best results. The leaven of civilization is raising t'ae standard of national life because it is working through the individual. The people refuse to listen to a Louis pro claiming, "The state? I am the state." Knowledge is so thoroughly diffused that, though the demand for it is keener than ever, genuine wisdom and learning are eventually accepted. Woman Extravagant? American women are asked to fttand up and look sweetly while Prof. Muns terberg . reads them one of his little curtain lectures. This time he ad dresses the fair ones on the subject of their Intemperance, or extravagance, The professorial critic first chides woman for any credit she may claim for a superior goodness in resisting temptations' to which men yield, temptations, which he iuElsts, she never haB. But, evidently reflecting upon some possible circumstances that might make mitigation desirable, the professor hastens to add his belief In woman's power to resist just as much as her brothers. What Prof. Munsterberg Is especially displeased at Is the habits of dress which American women pursue. He does not attempt to disparage the beautifying results of those habits, nor to make Invidious comparisons be tween the women of America and of ether countries, but be is depressed over the mere matter of her inordinate ust for dress. This, he says, offsets any expensive naoit tne man may have, drinking or what not, and con etitutes the big item in the family pay roll. He denounces It as a waste, such as no other nation would indulge in. ' It must be by oversight that the professor forbids to add that no other nation Is so r.blo to indulge in this ex travagance, or that the women of no other nation are so able to make them selves appecr aa comely as do the American women. Without wishing to hold a brief for the $20 hat that should sell for about $10, we might suggest that the American woman's eye for symmetry and harmony is so cultured that she ca make herself look elegant on a sum which the women of some conspicuous lands would not know how to spend to ad vantage. Panamencan Kanway. . i The Panamerlcan railway, system partly constructed, la bound to become tremendous factor in the commer cial development of the United States Alaska, Canada, Mexico and all the southern republics. When completed it will form a continuous chain from Alaska to South America, traversing Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador and the Panama opening up arteries of .trade between the richest agricultural and mineral sections of thi world. Sev eral Beries of this line are now In use and freight and passenger traffic is steadily increasing. Those portions of the road, skirting the Mexican fron tier and reaching on toward Guate mala and Salvador, are constantly be ing Improved and equipped with addl tlonal rolling stock and the work , of completing the system la urged on rap idly. Any attempt to eatimate the po tential advantage oi mis system would bo fantastic at best, but it re quires no penetrating vision to see that Ita future Is fraught with won derful possibilities. In freight traffic alone the outlook Is astounding. The coffee export trade from Guatemala u but a single item, and yet In a year that amounts t 30.000,000 pounds, all shipped by water, This could be diverted to rail transportation, as could the greater part of all freight for the United States and Europe from Guatemala and other Central Ameri can countresi As Boon as this trade was established the next step would be. to create more trade by the ex ploitation of the country and its re sources. New territory would De opened up and colonized, affording homes and occupations for millions. The road parallels the Sierra Madre mountain range, which is lined with valleys of unsurpassed fertility and resources and these regions today are accessible only to ox carts and pack trains. This fact reflect something of the maiden possibilities of that em pire of wealth. Establishing commercial inter course between this land and the United States, Canada and Alaska, contemporaneously with the building of the Panama canal, will be the big gest economic achievement of the western hemisphere In this century. Be Square with Poor Lo. The uprising of the Pueblo Indians In New Mexico serves to ehowVthat Poor Lo is not entirely certain in his own mind as yet just what are the amenities expected of an American clti zen. Great advancement has been made in the uplift and civilization of the red man, but much remains to be done before all the aborigines on the Ameri can continent become tractable mem bers of society. Somo eerlous' problems are to be worked out in perfecting the splendid scheme of the Indian's destiuy. One of those problems looks very simple on Its facu and should give the federal government little worry. That is to en force respect of the Indian's rights by the white man. In this very instance in New Mexico the prime cause of de predation seems to be a white man's encroachment upon Indian possessions, fencing in land which belonged to the Indians and which the white man knew belonged to the Indian. The Indian of today was born wrth an inherited belief in the perfidy of the white man and where that belief does not manifest itself In open hos tllity it is because certain white men have succeeded in convincing the In dian of their intention to do him no wrong. That can only be accomplished by deeds and never by treachery or in jury. It has required government troops to suppress the Pueblos and if it is proved that they went on the warpath to avenge a real wrong committed by their white neighbors, federal powers should be directed toward the pale face as well. . Shackleton. It is nothing less than a sad reflec tion on the intelligence of the commu nity that the visit' to Omaha of Sir Ernest Shackleton should have en listed so little interest. The achieve ment which this young British officer has to his credit as a Polar explorer is not only unique in history, but it has been conceded without the slightest question or suspicion of his good faith or of his actual penetration to within almost sight of the South Pole. some fakir like Dr. Cook, or some up lift muckraker, had appeared among us to sing his own praises and run down everyone else, the community might have turned out en masse, but It indifferently neglected its oppor tunity to pay a deserved tribute to a real explorer who has carried the ban ner of science and civilization into new and untrodden paths. Omaha has plenty of Intelligent and knowledge seeking people, but they will have to wake up or Omaha will be cut off the list of places which distinguished scientists and public men think worth while visiting. The author of "What Can a Young Man Do?" has been arrested on the charge of smuggling dutiable goods into the New York port. One thing a young man should do is to recognize the tftter as well as spirit of law in small and great things alike. This author is Frank V. Rollins, former governor of New Hampshire When the . Pueblo Indians in New Mexico went on a rampage and de stroyed life and property it was found that several eastern artists were within the settlements getting sketches of "real Indian life" for paintings, but all thev can do now is to let St. Peter pasg on their pictures After President Taft and the repub lican majority in congress shall have enacted the measures which the people are demanding we may expect to hear something In the nature of a post script from -Mr. Bryan about stealing some more of his clothes. The chief fear from which the dem ocrats at Washington now suffer is that Uie republicans in congress will gt together and put through the pro gram of reform legislation which Pres ident Taft has recommended. The latest figures make the money in circulation In the United States f 34.87 per capita. That does not look imuch like a conspiracy of the money power to make money scarce and prices low, which we once heard so much about. San Francisco has raised a hlKh - Tante for New Orleans on that Panama exposition project $5,000,000. They sure are sports out there on the coast. Can New Orleans see the call? On May 18, which comes during the present week, it will be exactly fifty years since Abraham Lincoln was nominated for presldeut at Chicago to become the first republican occupant of that office. Cut out of the fifty years that have since ensued the time when the country has been under republican administration and what would there be left. Ohio starts the game In the ltst of direct primary states, and Iowa fol lows soon after. Nebraska does not pull off its primary stunt until the latter part of next August. It is at least settled that no fusion will take place between Mr. Hearst and the democratic party that might commit him to support Mayor Gaynor for any office, big or little. The gradual coalition of republicans in congress and , the forecasted con summation of thd administration's program seems to be making the dem ocrats very peevish. Too Rich for (iooi) Rnada.
