The kalBer has had a raise in salary since M. Roosevelt visited him. What is the answer? ... The Excesses of . Zealots. It is a very common trait for people enlisted In' any movement professing to aim at reform or betterment to per suade themselves of the rlgheousness of their cause, and then to ascribe base or mercenary motives to everyone who disagrees with them. The idea that anyone equally honest could sej things differently escapes them en tlrely, and the hardihood that cham pions the other side of the Issue seems to them not merely preposterous, but explainable only by some selfish or self-seeking purpose. Examples in point are constantly brought to public attention. Here in Nebraska Just how we are confronted with a contest over the question of prohibition, and, as was to have been expected, the anti-saloonlsta are en deavoring to claim a monopoly of vir tue, honesty and patriotism. Through their official organ they have already arranged the line-up and those oppos ing their program are all ta be labeled as "brewers, saloon keepers, gamblers, prostitutes, thieves, mercenaries, dis charged anti-Saloon league men, dis credited preachers, or politicians who think more of the money of the brew ers than they do of the votes of the people." To such . narrow-minded bigots, gauging other people by their own measure, no one could possibly advocate regulation of the liquor' traffic rather than prohibition through any but unworthy motives. In very similar form the same sus- piciour intolerance's displayed in con nection with the proposed initiative and referendum. One of the cham pions of this millennium producer clinches the argument by declaring that those who oppose "either know nothing about it or their motives are not honest either they are ignorant or they know the people would never support the crooked measures they propose." From another source an equally .convincing plea is constantly heard, "Are you afraid to trust the people?" As if it could not be possi ble that the question merely involved a choice of methods for the people to make their demands effective and the establishment of reasonable safe guards against vicious or ill-advised legislation. To be true, the disposition to lm pugn the motives of everyone in dis agreement is not manifested exclu siveiy oy tne leaiots or frenzied re form, but, unfortunately, it ia seldom lacking among them. There is, how ever, always this saving clause, that the dishonest self-seekers whom they denounce so severely can by changing front quickly purge themselves and by joining in the crusade become at once self-sacrificing patriots assured of top most niches in the hall .of fame. Even if congress cuts off Uncle Joe's auto, he still has the street cars and taxlcabs left. , "' So far as we lave' heard the" lawyers have not declined to take any of that bleachd flour dough. W. T. Stead has interviewed W. R. Hearst for two columns in the London Chronicle, which ought to settle it. ' The railroads evidently discovered that there was something there In Wad of the big stick "Just as good."

' Unaeoountable. : The question of old age pensions and how to provide,, for those, who are crowded out of .the field of usefulness by Advancing years would naturally be expected to arouse the most wide spread interest, yet, strangely enough,' the valuable report made by the Mas sachusetts commission on old age pen sions, . annuities and insurance con tains the statement that the commis sion held eight public hearings in all of the largest cities of that state wtth an aggregate total attendance of about 600. In other words, the public dis cussion of this subject, going to the very vitals of our social organization was able to bring out in such cities as Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Fall River and Plttsfield an average of only about seventy-five people suffl ciently Interested to be present with out price of admission and under as surance that no collection would be taken up. This is not a reflection on the Intel ligence of the people of Massachusetts, Decause it is qoudiiui wnetner any better Showing would have been made under similar circumstances in any other state in the union. It is, how ever, a suggestive commentary unon the small radius of the circle of Inter est stimulated by such an important economic inquiry. We may be cer tain, however, that the question of old age pensions, annuities and Insurance is a growing question that will con tinue to demand more and more atten tion because it affects directly or indi rectly every man, woman and child dependent upon a breadwinner's wages. ' gains In the number of communicants; we need only to open our eyes to see such agencies as the Young. Men's and Young Women's Christian associa tions, the Christian Endeavor, the Laymen's Missionary movement, the institutional church and a score of other organized agencies of religious propaganda. The fact is, while there Is, of course, much to be desired, the present-day church work Is more mili tant, more aggressive and directed with more Intelligent discrimination and businesslike method than ever be fore. Some of the churches, the one to which Dr. Coyle .belongs among them, Is taking hold of the labor and social problems at a. good place and are placing specialists n charge of the work. This may be an age of religious In difference, but it ls not necessarily an age of lrrellgion. And those who look back to the dark days to which Dr. Coyle points us and then make comparisons must feel that the church is at least keeping up with the progress being made by the other forces of our social and economic life. Railing1 Against the Auto. Chancellor Day of Syracuse univer sity Is newly distressed because the people of the United States have 'In vested (500,000,000 In the automobile trade and he fears the. consequences upon our national character of such rampant and vulgar prodigality. He is convinced the auto is a curse be cause it is a luxury that is too often not sacrificed. At first glance this arraignment suggests a measure of truth, but the automobile Is not by any means purely a luxury; it is serving a utilitarian pur nose as well as affording new means of enjoyment. It is simply one milestone that marks off another era of progress tn the natural and logical development of a- rapidly advancing world. It is the carriage of the twen tieth century, coming into- vogue now only because this is its time and day, and the strange thing about It is that its advent Is provoking exactly the same sort of criticism that followed that of the carriage Into use In Eng land and the United States. In Eng land the perturbation against what was termed "coach epidemic" reached the point of proposed parliamentary measures to "restrain the excessive use of coaches." And 'in the earlier days of the United States frugal de fenders of the simple life feared the country would go broke buying car rlages. Dr. Day says the capital Invested in the automobile business Is nonproduc tive, but how does that statement com port with the patent fact that its man ufacture, sale and use have opened up new channels of Industry, giving em ployment to thousands. The time will come jno dQubtwben the 'auto will seem almost as firosaic as the carriage and the coach, and then we will be listening to- this periodical prea'chment against the airship, if that is to be our next step tn natural advancement. the making of success the best medical school preparation is none too good. Only twenty-two democrats broke away to vote for the postal savings bank bill. It will be remembered that twenty-three democrats broke away to vole' for the Cannon rules. An appeal Is made to the Chicago Board of Trade to eliminate frcm its rules everything that smacks of gam bllhg. Presumably, the quickest way to comply would be to rescind the rules. - To a man up a tree the chief point ' In the Burton-Harrison incident seems to be that the congressman wanted to make a delegation of his constituents believe he stood ace high at the White i Mouse, when. In-fact, he Is regarded there only as a two-spot. .-1 '' " The Stereotypert. Omaha will have for Its guests this week the representatives of a craft with whose work the public is uncon sciously familiar. The stcreotypers and electrotypers form a very impor tant part of the" printing trades, for on their craftsmanship' depends the ap pearance of the printed pages, whether of book, magazine or newspaper. Their international union Is one of the strong organizations of higher skilled labor, and Its annual deliberations in convention are of moment to the pub lic as well as to the craft. Because of a working agreement with the asso ciated employers the stereotypers are rarely Involved in trade disputes, and their experience in this way might well be. adopted as a model , for the guid ance of other labor organizations. At the head of the organization is James J. Freel, a man who is not very widely known as a labor leader, be cause of the quiet manner in which he has conducted the business Of bis or ganization, but who, hag proved him self of such temper as to commend him as one of sound Judgment and fairness. Mr. Free! is better known to the publishers than to the public, for he evades the spotlight and attends to his business without unnecessary flourish. Omaha will be at its best during the coming week and the visitors, all of whom come from the larger centers of the country, will be given an oppor tunity to see the city under such con ditions as must impress them with its beauty as well as its importance. Omaha citizens will show them that quality of hospitality which has always made convention visitors regret the time when they must say adieu. The conventiea will have plenty of busi ness, but the Omaha people will Bee that Its hours of leisure are pleasantly occupied. in our dresg and at the same time ex pend so much common sense in the making of our homes and business blocks. We are still too young a na tion to boast a great deal of our art, yet having surpassed other nations tn everything else, we may in time eclipse them in this realm of human thought and effort, too. St. Louis la talking of park improve ment, but it hag always had a mag nificent system. Old Forest park, be fore the .World's fair days, was a para dise of primeval beauty Itself, and Shaw's Gardens constitute one of the beauty spots of the nation, while Tower Grove is a picturesque old land mark, and still there are such smaller cases nearer "town," as Lafayette park, which In the old days was "away out" and a handsome place. St. Louis Is one of the cities which did not have to wait for the twentieth century awakening to convince it of the value of a great park system. Is This an Irreligious Aire T ' Writing In the Interior on "The Humbug About a Decadent Christian ity," Dr. R. F. Coyle of Denver, a former moderator of the Presbyterian church, makes a strong showing for his side of the case and contro verts the argument so commonly ad vanced that people are not attending church today as they used to, and that the church is losing Its bold. The doc tor declares his memory runs back fifty years, and it does not carry him to the time when people attended church as generally as they do today, and he quotes several authorities of different periods to show that the past has not always been the golden age'of piety., ' . Chancellor Kent, born in 1763, he quotes as saying: "In my younger days there were few professional men that were not Infidels." Lyman Beecber In his autobiography, refer ring to conditions a century ago, is quoted, "The boys who dressed flax tn the barn read Tom Paine and believed him." Dr. Timothy Dwlght, then pres ident of Yale, said, "Striplings, scarcely fledged, . suddenly discovered that the light of .wisdom had just be gun, to dawn upon the human race. Religion they discovered to be a vision of dotards and nurses." The last church census shows great Medical School Standards. The investigation made by Abraham Flexner, as special agent of the Came gle foundation, into medical education In the United States brings out some pungent criticisms of the system Naturally his view is from the stand point of unlimited resources as against the smaller school with limited finances, but in the main where it strikes at the multiplicity of medical colleges and the lack of thorough training in some of them, the report will be received as a substantial con tribution to public Information. -We have 165 medical schools in this country, which Dr. Fexner thinks is about five times too many, and most people will agree that It is at least more than we need. Nearly every American community has more physi cians than It requires and could part with many of them without impairing its chances of longevity or good health. We have one doctor to every 638 per sons in the United States, while in Ger many, where they have an ample sup ply, the ratio la but one to 2,000, and it is notable that Germany stands high in medical science. The principal fault laid to our Amer ican schools is that their standards for admission are too low. yMany of them of course not all receive students who have had no more than a high school education. This invites and encourages the Injection of poor ma terial Into the profession of medicine. The Carnegie foundation would fix the minimum basis of entrance require ment at two years in college, which is surely low enough. It should be diffi cult to place the standard too high or make preparation too thorough where the service Is to be so exacting as is the treatment of human ills. If Dr. Flexner can follow up this in vestigation, which Is constructive as well as destructive in Its criticisms, with some tangible plan for reducing the number of physicians annually turned loose on the people a great pub lic service will be accomplished and one which the hard-working, deep- delving medical man should approve, for such a step is calculated not only to raise the standard of the profession, but to afford protection from competi tion with the nan who goes out Into the world depending upon some other asset than scientific knowledge per haps social prestige or personal charm to carry him through. It is not narrowing the lines of opportunity to the poor but ambitious young man and woman to reduce the number of medical schools by raising the standard of efficiency. There are always ample opportunities for those who make good In medicine as else where and for the physician who has Practical Charity. The American people are adopting the modern view of charity and it is a healthful, practical view, a view that contemplates self-help, an ennobling of the individual by placing a premium on his personal worth and indepen dence. That is the deep-down purpose of all our modern charitable and phll anthropic Institutions and in this we have the highest good which our efforts can accomplish. The old idea that charity means free giving, donating, getting something for nothing, is losing its hold on the public mind, and well that it Is, for it is a poisonous element and a deterrent force. ' The National Conference of Charities and Corrections in its recent meeting at St.- Louis set- up - some strong illustrations of the ' practical good which this modern view of char ity was achieving;. In state provision for dependents, no less than in civic and social )lfe outside of such home's and asylums, this influence is permeat ing and producing excellent results. In civil service, factory Inspection, schools and cittes its force is felt. This national crusade against germatlc dis ease Is but a part of it, so is the or ganized effort at reliving the con gested centers of population in large eastern cities and the corollary ' of buying impoverished land in old states and selling It to city folk on time pay ments as a means of simultaneously restoring the land to fertility and giv ing them a decent living. This is helping people to help them selves, and that Is the keynote of prac tical charity. SERMONS BOILED DOWN. Some saints never belleva In snow shovels until summer.

Connoisseurs of European capitals rich with their gilded galleries and museums of old masters, have long taunted Americans because we' do not devote as much thought and time to art as we do to money and, while It is purely incidental, they have entirely missed the humor of our Inartistic mil lionalrea paying fictitious Bums for all the rubbish which Europeans could unload upon them as "Old Masters." The point is that the people in the United States, having first acquired wealth, are now turning their atten tion somewhat to art, and this no doubt is the logical system, for a thing as delicate as art could scarcely hope to subsist without substantial re sources as a foundation. . A year ago we formed what is known .as the American Federation of Arts and since that time and under its auspices con siderable progress has been made, al though we admit having still room for development. To begin with, we must rid our minds of the notion that style is art, and understand that art cannot exist amid inartistic surroundings. Some of these extreme modes in dress which we have adopted from those same Paris and London critics will have to be discarded before . art can make much headway. f hey may be strictly proper, but '-'hat does art, "tta most concrete of a'i forms of expression," care for propr t tles?
