A Mile ' Stone.
While a . thirty-ninth birthday an
niversary ls not usually, mad an oc
casion for special celebration, It Is
worth while for The Dee to note the
panning of another mile-stone In Its
career as a newspaper.
From the very atart The Bee pro
claimed certain definite purposes and
has aimed to follow a definite policy
that would make It at once a credit to
journalism, and the greatest service to
the people of its city, state and nation.
It is needless to remind our readers
that The Bee has never faltered in the
path originally mapped out, and Is
constantly expanding to meet the
growing demands upon it, and to keep
In the forefront Of the ever changing,
but ages old, combat with Ignorance,
which opens the way for the uplift ot
humanity.
We invite our readers today, and
every day, to judge The Bee by com
parison with Its contemporaries, con
fident that even those who may differ
with us or have fault to find, will
still be able to recognize what is of
merit and to concede a measure of
credit for having high Ideals and hold
ing fast to them.
A Big; Problem Just Ahead of Ui.
One of the big problems just ahead
of us Is that of providing some way to
replace the superannuated employes
with younger and more adaptable suc
cessors as occasion requires without
undue hardship to those who are dis
placed. It is the problem of old age
pensions for those engaged in indus
trial pursuits. It is a problem of
which we have only touched the edges
by providing retirement pensions for
college professors, teachers, policemen,
firemen, soldiers and judges. It is a
problem which has already had much
attention in Europe and Australia,
whose experience will be useful and in
structive for us.
Unfortunately, those who approach
this problem in this country meet with
several perplexing obstacles that are
not bo much in evidence elsewhere.
The chief trouble arises from the un
usual fluidity of labor in the United
8tate8. Nearly everyone employed
anywhere started out as a worker some
other place. The proportion of em
ployes who have been with any one
establishment from the beginning is
unusually small. It goes without say
ing that if the employer were to pro
provide the funds for old age insur
ance, in whole or In part, he would
not want to recognize service rendered
to some one else from which, he has
had no benefit, nor would he continue
to pay the insurance premium for
some one who has left his employment
In Europe, where it is the rnle rather
than the exception for a-man to work
all his life in one place, this obstacle
Is almost negligible and can be much
more easily surmounted.. t .
Another serious difficulty which
threatens to delay the solution of the
problem, is the almost utter lack of
data in this country upon' which to
construct experience tables. Not only
do our working people move around
from place to place and from one em
ployment to another, but our Indus
tries themselves are comparatively
new, while even the oldest of them
have kept few records serviceable for
this purpose. Some of the big rail
road and Industrial corporations have
made a start at retirement allowances,
but In this are groping more or less in
the dark without adequate informa
tion on which to base estimates ot
what the demands will be. The' most
complete data of employment for a
reasonably long period ot years Is
probably to be had for civil service em
ployes of the government, but at best,
correct experience tables for govern
ment employes would not be likely to
apply to the general run of industrial
service.
But industrial problems have been
worked out that at the start looked
more unsolvable than this. The dis
placement of the . superannuated
worker Is already receiving the most
careful thought of our students of so
cial conditions, and increasing num
bers of experiments in a small way are
furnishing useful object lessons and
warnings. It will take time to reach
the goal of a thoroughly practical plan,
but the world moves fast and the ac
centuated nerecsltieg of the case may
bring us to it faster than any of us
dare hope.
Gambling; in Necessaries.
The government's proceeding
against James A. Patten and bo me of
his associates in grain and cotton spec
ulation lg another evidence that it is
keeping faith with the people in its
effort to determine whether or riot the
law permits a few men to gamble in
the necessaries of life to the serious
detriment of millions. If the govern
ment succeeds in proving its charges
ot conspiracy in restraint of trade it
will be- another credit mark for the
Sherman anti-trust law, under whose
provisions the action is brought.
Men who manipulate the markets
have not ordinarily been classed as
criminals, and yet there are few crimes
worse in their effect than gambling In
the commodities on wblcb every house
hold must depend and by the power of
speculation and for the purpose of per
sonal enrichment, artificially running
prices up to a prohibitive figure. That
this has been done on numerous occa
sions Is evident enough, and it has
doubtless figured as one of the vital
elemtnts in the enormous rise In the
cost of living. If that be true, and if
the government can seure the convic
tion of the men responsible for it, It
should succeed In breaking up the sys
tem and convincing them that they
had better engage In a form of bnsi-
ness that can be fully Justified under
the law.
But. this market manlplatlon Is per
haps done by men who would not wil
fully engage In illegal operations. It
Is one of the evil results of a get-rlch-qulck
madness that has been sweeping
over the country for years, upon which
It Is high time to put a full brake.
Uniform Legislation.
need of uniform legislation,
The
particularly as affecting business that
y ' i . .
cuts across state lines, has been re
peatedly emphasized by The Bee. The
conference on uniform legislation held
at Washington last winter under the
auspices of the National Civic fed
eration formulated a program for co
operative organization throughout the
ariousstates with a view to arousing
public sentiment generally, and to
focusing it from time to time on par
ticular subjects of legislation as they
may be presented. There are many
fields of legislation purely in the
nature of local regulations in which it
makes little, if any, difference to the
people of one state what their neigh
bors in another state may do, but
there are other fields and the number
Is rapidly growing, where the action
of one state is seriously Impaired if
not entire nullified by the action
of its neighbor.
Nebraska has already made some
headway in the desired direction by
spreading on its statutes books legis
lation patterned after accepted model
laws, such as the negotiable instru
ments law, the child labor law, the
pure food law and several others. The
very fact, however, that Nebraska has
to a certain extent realized the value
of legislating uniformly with other
stateg In such cases is all the more
reason why Nebraska should help the
movement along as a whole, because
full returns can come only proportion
ately to the extent to . which all the
states take it up.
A large number ot well known men,
leaders in their various pursuits, are
interesting themselves in the subject
of uniform legislation, several of
whom are coming to Omaha to present
its various features to our citlzlens,
and it is to be. hoped that they will
meet with a cordial response.
Post Graduate Lessons.
The commencement season is upon
us and the graduate is abroad in the 1
land.
There are two lessons which well I
learned will add materially to the ef
fectiveness of the diploma. One is the
realization that commencement marks
the beginning. Instead of the ending of
education and the other the necessity
of fitting into the proper sphere of life the matter which the appraisers were re
work as early as possible. The techni- Quired to do. A presumption

both these lessons well has something
to his or her advantage
This matter of choosing one's life
work is one of the severest tasks a per
son has to. meet. Many 'men do not
find their spheres or greatest useful
ness until middle age, while others
never find them. Education ought to
help one to find his true sphere. The
great difficulty with so many young
people is they show an adaptability to
too many things, they become what
their fellows or instructors call ver-
satlle. The versatile man sometimes
is the worst handicapped man. He can
do a dozen things fairly well and he
Bpends his time between them, scatter-
ing his fire, instead of concentrating,
on one object, a single purpose and
learning to do that in the aggregate
better' than he could do each of the
eleven. The man who with a bent for
music, can play half a dozen instru
ments, is not nearly so likely to play
as well as the man who becomes ex
pert In the use of that one. The ver
satile man is seldom more than an
amateur, being kept out ot the profes
sional class simply because he has
never learned to concentrate his full
powers on one thing.
Young men and women must look
out for these pitfalls. The only talent
that ever accomplishes anything worth
while is that trained along a certain,
definite, fixed line. The graduate from
high school, college or university who
can find his or her place in the world

An embezzler sent to prison for one
dav exclaims on his release. "I've arot
a job, a wife, a little home and lots of
friends and I can see nothing to pre
vent me from living an honorable, in
dustrloua life. I have found out that
no other kind pays."
Ftrhaps It may be going too far in
the way of presumption to argue that
the experience of this one man proves
the wisdom of the short-term Im
prisonment, but it at least directs at
teutlon anew to the old question ot
the downright purpose and Influence
of prison life. If this case could be
taken as typical we might be safe in
concluding that if prisons reform men,
they do it In the earlier stages of their
terms and on that conclusion properly
admit that the short term la prefer
able to the long term. The advocates
of the short-term theory will say that
there is a certain point which, if a
man does not sooner reform, leaves In
serious doubt the hope that he will
ever grow better by reason of his Imprisonment.
Our modern Idea of imprisonment
Is, primarily, that it should reform
while It punishes and prevents. Our
word, penitentiary, comes from the
Identical Latin root fro"Ih which pen
nance la derived, meaning repenting.
The original function or the peniten
tiary was to make men sorry of their
wrong-doing and cure them of the de
sire to repeat it. But any thoughtful

Points Nailed Down.
While the affirmance by the United
States supreme court of the Judgment
against the city of Omaha for $6,262,-
295.49, fixed by the appraisers as the
purchase price of the water plant,
could not have been surprising to
many, still it may be of interest now
that the full text of the opinion In this
case is at hand to know Just how
the highest court disposed of the
various points that had been raised.
The court takes up in order the
three major objections urged on behalf
of the Water board against the ap
praisement First. The Water board had Insisted
that the award was not binding be
cause it was signed by only two of flie
three appraisers, the third, or city's
appraiser, having withheld his signa
ture by direction, the city proceeding
on the theory that the proceeding was
an arbitration and not an appraise
ment. This contention the supreme
court brushes aside as follows:
The matter In question waa In no proper
sense an arbitration. The contract was In
all of Its terms agreed upon. One party
was to sell and the other to buy at a val
uation determined by the Board of Ap
praisers, and unanimity was not stipu
lated for. Unanimity was hardly to be ex
pected In a board made up aa this was.
Second. The Water board alleged
fraud on the part of the appralseri
because they had had a confidential
audit made of the water company's
books. On this the court declares:
There Is not the slightest evidence In the
record of partiality, bad motive or mis
conduct affecting the action of the board.
Third. , The Water board objected
to the award because it Included the
whole water works plant, some of it
In South Omaha and other adjoining
territory outside of the corporate
limits of Omaha, and alleged want of
legal power to operate a plant for peo
ple outside of Omaha. Here is the
answer of the supreme court:
We are satisfied that the acquisition of
the system as it existed at the time the
city made its election to purchase was
within the contemplation of both the city
and the water company, and that the val
uation of the system as an entirety waa
system,
In view of all the false issues that
have been raised In the course of this
long-drawn-out water works litigation
it may be well to nail down a few of
these final qualifying findings.
Unityof Faith
It may be an Utopian dream in the
aspirations of ideallsm'to expect that
all people will some day come to a
unity of faith, but nevertheless it is
one of the testa the world has ever ex-
acted of the Christian church the test
that it sink dogmas and doctrines in a
universal creed
The World's Missionary conference
t Edinburg has undertaken a large
step toward that idealistic goal. It
has brought together in one meeting
and one cause representatives of varl
ous churches and united them in the
zeal of evangelism that has made mar
tyrs and upbuilt the kingdom of God
on earth. And this approach to a
unity of faith is the distinguishing
feature of that convention, and not the
fact that it is there to promote plans
for the spread of the gospel. Not
only Protestant churches, but Catholic,
have lent the spirit of their co-opera
n to this great gathering. Mon
signor Bonomeiu or Lrenionia. Italy
one of the powers of the Church of
Rome, has written a lengthy letter to
the conference in which he stoutly
commends its purpose and . plans,, de-

TRUTH WITH THIS BARK OJf.
Some Sentiments of Chancellor Day
Applauded.
Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
It is not often that one finds anything
In the utterances of Chancellor Day to
which unqualified approval may be given.
He has a happy faculty, for taking the
wrong side of every question, apparently
obsessed with the delusion that to be right
one must be unpopular! Therefore let us
make haste to take advantage of the rare
opportunity, .to applaud, a sentiment of
Chancellor' Day's before, some fresh break
makes It Impossible. Speaking to the gradu
ating class at the Syracuse university, of
which he is the . head, tru chancellor said
something that la undeniably true and ne.
leas, important:
"If you want, to know, why men marry
less than of old, the secret Is in -the false
whim In supporting wife. He oannot. af
ford to support a wife, the bachelor says.
No woman ought to consent to be such a
wife: She ought to say: '1 am not seeking
or consenting to be supported. There will
be two of us. It I cannot earn as much as
ou. I can save more. " We will plan to
gether.' "
The decreasing marriage rate, no doubt,
has a direct relation to the Increase cost
ot living. But this false ideal of marriage,
which Chancellor Day castigates, ' la re
sponsible for the undue emphasis put upon
this factor. The love ot luxury, the desire
to enjoy the refinements and pleasures of
life, while escaping Its toll and sacrifice,
have made the cost of living their excuse.
It Is selfishnesa( not prudenoe, that proknpts
such a reason for celibate life. Fortunately
love Is potent enough to overcome such
doubts in most cases, but It more women
developed the Independence and pride ex
tolled by Chancellor Day, no man would
be found to take a cowardly refuge behind
his self-confessed incompetence to support
another beside himself. Chancellor Day's
sentiment is one which deserves the In
dorsement of everybody, and If if especially
appropriate In this month of 'commence
ments and wedding bells.

Chicago Poat: Something seems to bave
gotten into the Protectant -ministry' this
spring, something that has started an epi
demic of resignations. Somehow -they Im
press us, as being uncommonly: numerous.
A newspaper that, undertook- to schedule
ail the pulpit withdrawal, in-Chicago and
elsewhere, could have-had a column hat
was, almost as regular as the one devoted
to vessel clearings or aviation. Preacher
after preacher has thrown up ills hands
for one reason or another and we have
been treated, in the subsequent discussions,
to a variety of ojmplalnts regarding' Hie
difficulties of the -modern- pulpit. The 'la
test local instance of this-sort belongs-to
a growing class; Dr. John- A. Morlson,
pastor ot the -First Presbyterian church,
gives as his reason for resigning the fact
that while his training and tastes are for
preaching, his actual duties are largely
secular, concerned with the management
of a number ot outside activities.
