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.

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.

school preparation is none too good.
Only twenty-two democrats broke

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.

pend so much common sense in the

yet having surpassed other nations tn

them in this realm of human thought

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.

Style, Art and Taste.
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? Of course, If we
admit that cuf uvii and U.ste rcak art,
then - we may ?.rp the top-uhaped
trousers with their bottom cuffs and
the cork-screw skirt with Its hoop hur

are doubtless aa artistic in America as
they are in Europe, anyway.
But. In architecture the American
people are making actual progress to
ward the artistic. ' Apparently they

minister .who resorted to it and who fol
lowed It up with a further exhibition of
"muscular Christianity."
Chicago Record-Herald: The trouble
(about low salaries for preachers) appears
to be that while conscience demands the
church It satisfies Itself with a bargain-
counter arrangement In which It does the
marking down itself. It ta beating the
church and the preacher season after sea
son and finding excuses for self indulgence.
in most churches there are very few pillars
and many weak reeds. Sufficient definite
regular support Is lacking. A contribution
of small coins la supposed to be enough
for preacher, choir and general mainte
nance, and the pillars are forced to make
up the deficit.

It's Remarkable
How Some Pianos Improve!
For instance a family purchased n Kranich & Bach
Piano from A. llope & Co. two years ago; tlicy are now
packing up and moving to Seattle and are compelled to
leave their piano. This piano is now in our Kranich &
Bach salesroom and we wish to add that in appearance it's
hard to. distinguish it from
the new ones. But, oh! the
tune why, it's the most
. mellow and musicul tone you
can imagine.
Here is the Piano
. You can buy it for Utile over half its
new price en easy payments. -
' ' You get a new stool to match, genuine mahogany, and a handsome
carf A full guarantee included. HLHItV if you want H.N'Al'.
