After the Rain.
Nearly all of Nebraska bag bwn
blessed with refreshing rain,, which
stsrtd In th west and awept across
the mate, tearing thla section to the
last. The showers have done a vast
amount of good, bringing, renewed en
ergy to a people who were languid
with the Inertia of a long and trying
slegn of hot, dry weather, tn addition
to cooling the atmosphere, the rains
refreshed weary bodies and cleared
dull minds, all of which will find a re
flection in a better-humored people, as
Is always the case, and a quickened
commercial-Impulse.
There Is a boon In the midsummer
rain which nothing else can bring to
the soil and people when rain is
needed. The bright, clear, crisp air
of the "morning after" brings a new
glow to Mother Nature, much as the
final burst of pent-up tears brings re
lief and cheer to dispel the gloom of
a heavy heart.
So it w ill not do to measure the ben
efits flowing from a good rain merely
from the crops; they are much broader
than crops or any commercial gauge,
yet we are willing enough to accept
the aid It gives in that direction and,
while we are rejoicing In the wake of
thla last little rain, we will be ready
when tha weather man b for another
one.
No Fan-American Monroeism.
It is neither a matter of surprise
nor regret that the United States' rep
resentatives at the Pan-American con
gress at Buenos Ay res failed to en
thuse over the proposal that the Mon
roe doctrine be adopted as the policy
of all American nations, for before
such action could be viewed with any
degree of satisfaction ,by the United
States, its actual purpose would have
to be thoroughly understood. .
The Monroe doctrine as the United
States' policy of dealing with foreign
Interference with American affairs has
been demonstrated by eighty years of
practical experience to be for this na
tion the wisest policy it has ben able
to devise, but whether it would be
wise to consent to Its acceptation as
a Pan-American doctrine depends al
together upon the motive underlying
the proposal. For us to enforce the
Monroe doctrine against European in
terlopers is one thing and for us to let
any South American government with
out responsibility force us to assume
its grievances quite another.
It is a patent fact that many of the
South American nations are Bensitlve
of their seeming position of depend
ence upon the United States' advice
and protection in certain phases of
international relations and . that they
would be only too glad to welcome
any arrangement by which they could
exercise a freer hand in. .determining
their own affairs with respect to other
foreign powers and, more than this,
they would like nothing better than
the privilege of beirrg in position to
help decide when and under what con
dltlons the Monroe doctrine should be
applied. It will not do to presume
too strongly upon ' the wholeness of
the Pan-American spirit. . We have
had ample proof of this in late years
and even in recent months. Mr, Bryan
in a very recent article in the Ameri
can Exporter regrets the evident lack
of friendly association, politically and
commercially, between the United
States and the 8outh American coun
tries. So long as this lack it apparent,
no matter what the causes or remedies
may seem to be, Just so long will it be
wise for the United Btates to repel
every encroachment upon its exclusive
responsibility for the assertion of this
doctrine. All the nations will be much
better off if we do this, and, of course,
there Is no likelihood of the United
States relinquishing its '' position and
taking a subordinate place under the
smaller Pan-American republics.
Another TCall of the West.'1
While the farmers of Washington
state are crying for help to save their
harvests, which are abundant, the
schools in some counties of the same
state are appealing for young women
to come and teach the children., in
both cases the call is to the young, the
swift the man and woman with a will
to do and a grit to dare. And, more
over, this Macedonian cry comes for
those who will not tire of the heat and
burden of the day, but will cast their
lots and build their homes and carve
their fortunea in Washington, this
great "Inland Empire", of the Pacific
northwest. Bo.it is permanent and
not transitory workers who are
wanted. i
This looks like Cupid's opportunity.
Why not? Why could not many
young men and young women, deep in
love, rich in the airy, fairy dreams of
new castles In new lands, mellow In
the rhapsody of romance, Join hands
buckle on the armor of lndusty, mix
finance with fantasy and go out to this
borderland and tackle the job to
gether? It has every aspect of a prac
tlcal romance, if there is such a thing
If they hastened they might get there
ready for business In a few days, and
as it would be some time before school
"took up" the young man could get In
on the month's end of the harvest any
way, by which time the young woman
would be starting in on her pay dirt
and then they could strike the same
lead for a long digging together. Many
young men and women could do much
worse, our western friends think.
But in the meantime what of the op
portunities that He nearer at home?
While it la all right for young people
who want to try the far west, which
undoubtedly holds sufficient promise
to warrant the venture, there It really
no necessity for anybody, young or
old, leaving the middle country to look
for work, wealth or even health. All
the requirements are here in abun
dance and if they are not interwoven
with the chord's of romantic adventure
It might even be possible to unravel a
strand or two of the Utter from a sep
arate skein.
The Ditching; of Dahlman.
Rapidly transpiring events in the
political arena In Nebraska have un
questionably ditched whatever there
was of the Dahlman boom for the dem
ocratic nomination for governor. The
only chance Dahlman ever had to win
out over Governor Shallenberger In
the primaries hinged on having a
county option r.ealot In the field as a
third candidate to pocket the votes of
the temperance democrats. That Is
why the announcement that Patrick
had drawn cards was so vociferously
applauded by the Dahlmanltea at the
time they were going through the mo
tions of a county convention, and the
xpectation that the Patrick candidacy
would detract materially from the
Shallenberger strength was what alone
encouraged the cowboy's followers.
In the democratic primary two years
ago the vote on the three candidates
running for governor was as follows:
Shallenberger U,52
Dahlman 10.W
Ueriie .M4
None of the votes that went to Berge
two years ago would under any condi
tions go to Dahlman this year, and
what losses Shallenberger might sus
tain in his own column would probably
be offset by gains in other directions.
It is therefore nothing but a simple
problem in addition and subtraction
which any school boy tan work out
just as well as the expert political stat
istician. It is hardly worth, while going into
the details of how the withdrawal of
Patrick was brought about. To a man
up a tree it looks as If Patrick had
been put in by Mr. Bryan to force Gov
ernor Shallenberger to come across
with a promise to sign a county op
tion bill should it pass. The governor
came across in the Grand Island con
vention with a public- declaration to
this effoct and the withdrawal of Pat
rick has followed In due course.
The moral of it Is that the brewers
and liquor dealera who started out to
finance the Dahlman campaign might
as well save their money.' They had
an idea they could, under the open pri
mary, persuade enough republicans to
vote the democratic ticket to make
good Dahlman's deficiency in his own
party, but this is now out of the ques
tion, and they will do well to let the
republicans vote in their own prima
ries and settle their own questions for
themselves. f
Silk from Wood Pulp.
The manufacture of silk from wood
pulp is a new Industry introduced into
this country from England. . One mil
lion dollars of Manchester capital has
been lnvestedJn tb,e erection of a plant
near Philadelphia and the success of
the experiment, which is most promis
ing, Is likely to lead to other such
plants, and the upbuilding of a large
manufacturing trade in thla new com
modity. Heretofore It has been the common
belief that silk for rich garments and
tapestries could be produced only from
cocoon and science has been content
to accept that theory, but our
consular agent at Birmingham,
through the bureau of manufactures
of the Department of .Labor and Com
merce, disabuses our minds of this
illusion and Informs us that the finest
kind of artificial silk not only can be,
but ia being produced from wood pulp
and he believes there is a great future
for the article in this country. Of
course, if this proves true, then we
may, reasonably expect some advan
tages in the price of silk and Bilk wear.
One element of doubt enters into
the establishment of these plants in
this country and that Is as to the sup
ply of raw material. We are told by
the manufacturers that they have se
lected the United States because of the
abundance of wood and cotton, the
component elements of wood pulp silk
We have a vast amount of wood in
this country, but we are having much
trouble conserving it, and we are rais
ing each year enormous quantities of
cotton, but not enough to meet the
world's increasing demand, and the
users of white paper have ample cause
to feel that the supply of wood pulp
is far below the desired level. As a
matter of fact, we can produce, If we
will, twice as much cotton as we are
now producing, but thus far every
available influence brought to bear
haa not succeeded In bringing the out
put up to the actual needs, it is a
notable fact that spindles are multi
plying in the south much more rap
Idly than are acrea of cotton, compara
tively, and also that the mills of New
England and Dixie alone are able to
use up all the available cotton which
they can get in the south. And yet
Europe depends almost wholly for its
cotton upon what our southern states
produce. -
It is easy to see, therefore, that if
the artificial silk Industry Is to open
up a new channel of cotton and wood
fiber consumption, we will have to In
crease pur acreage and this ought to
be supplemented by a corresponding
Increase In the yield per acre of cot
ton, and we shall also need to do i
little more reforestation.
The Los Angeles Herald discusses
Bryan's recent defeat at Grand Island
tn an editorial, but It shows a decided
lack of information aa to the merits
and facts of the case when it says:
"Omaha, Lincoln and other big towns
may be strong enough In a state con
vention to carry their point and still
not strong enough to swing the state."
The Herald should understand that
Mr. Bryan went to the ronventlon with
the Lincoln delegation solidly behind
him, and but for the sympathy he ob
tained beforehand from Lincoln it may
be doubted If he would have gone as
far as he did In throwing down the
gauntlet to the rest of the state. It
should also know that the antt-Dryan
votes were not confined to the large
towns, but were scattered over village
and hamlet, plain and sand hills.
Governor Shallenberger got off on
tho wrong foot In "his ouster proceed
ings against the Omaha police com
missioners and is still on the wrong
foot. He can offer all the immunity
to talebearers he wants to, but the
only Immunity be can give is by way
of pardon after they are convicted.
Governor Shallenberger should read
the constitution and post himself a
little better on what are his duties and
prerogatives aa chief executive of the
state.
Governor Shallenberger's Invitation

tion In Omaha to come and tell him

A clerical ' gentleman named Bir
mingham, who thinks he is running

after the returns come In.

There is thus every reason to look to the

more substantial and secure than

Bankers and Olaaa Hoone.
Chicago Tribune.
The farmer's automobile still sticks in
the banker's craw. From "Late Wall Street
News and Gossip" , It is learned that a
North Dakota banker says agriculturists
will have to practice economy to make up
for the shortage of cops. Hs adds, how
ever, that the farmer will probably not be
put to greater Inconvenience than that of
doing without tha motor cars of the 1911
model.
Tha farmers thus accused of extravagance
must read with mingled feelings the
statement that In five years banks have
been robbed of 128,000,000 through specula
tion, theft and loose management. When
It comes to stone throwing there are more
windows In the banker's mansion than
there are in the farm house.
LINCOLN SUPREME.
Classed aa the "Greatat Ma of All
Time."
Boston Herald.
If Ambaseador Bryce, speaking at Chau
tauqua, said that Abraham Lincoln was
the greatest man of all time, it Is an esti
mate of considerable Importance coming
from a Briton, a historian, a dweller in
academic halls, as well as a practical man
of affairs. It means that he passes by
British rulers like Alfred th Great and
Cromwell, conquerers llk Napoleon and
Caesar, sages like Platband Kant, poets
Ilk Bhakespear and Goethe, orators
like Demosthenes and Burke, and places
-tha chaplet on the brow of one who ruled
by th consent and with tha backing of the
people, who never entered academic halls,
whose philosophy of life was wholly prac
tical and Informal, whose few attempts at
verse were sentimental, and whose elo
quence was unstudied and without the
slightest trace of affectation and learning.
Yet who, by his fusion of goodness, sa
gacity, patience, power and faith in man
and God, won th love of men; and by his
simple, natural yet morally vibrant Eng
lish style won Immortality as orator and
writer of state papers.

the city, and subordinate officials cour

In the service cannot recall when there
was so little government business. A steady

"Where is that sixty thousand dollar
chandellerT I want to see that."
Thla question has been plunked at the
White House custodians so many times
lately by tourists that finally they turned
about on It.
"Who told you there was a sixty thou
sai.d dollar chandelier In the Whit
HouseT" asked the major domo of the
great reception hall this morning, after the
familiar query had come to him for the
tenth time.
"Why, the conductor of the 'seeing Wash
ington' car," was the Innocent response.
"He said there was a sixty thousand dollar
chandelier In here," Then a light broke In
on the major domo and he marvelled no
mors,
"I don't know what those rubberneck
fellows will be telling people next," he went
on to a sympathetic correspondent of the
Boston Transcript who happened to be
passing through at the time. "This Is the
dull season and every time those roosters
run out of sensations they tuok something
new off onto the Whit House. Pome of
th visitors have told me that thla chande
lier i given to President McKlnley by
tho president of Prance. I suppose they
have refereno to those two beautiful vases
In the east room whloh were presented to
McKlnley by President Faur after the
laying of the Franco-American cable. . I
don't know what they cost, but evidently
that is where the sixty thousand dollar
stcry comes from."
Tha rubberneck conductors are the most
Imaginative citizens left In Washington this
summer, except the correspondents. Ono
of their favorite stunts Is to IndioaU as
the home of Senator Aldrlch th Imposing
new residence just finished at Dupont Circle
between Connecticut avenue and Nlnteenth
street. The Aldrlch home Is a modest
seml-colonlal affair farther down on
Massachusetts avenuo, not far from the
residence of Senator Lodge. Another triok
Is to make sure that the tourist sees the
house given to Admiral Dewey by the
American people, whether the ear goe any
where near it or, not The "sight" that
cannot b produoed on demand by the
modern rubberneck conductor Is not worth
seeing.
Summer visitors to the White House fcre
of a totally different character from the
throngs which swarm In and about the
majestlo building during the congressional
season. They are chiefly men, women and
children from humble homes who are more
Interested to learn "how Mrs. Taft keeps
house" than the spot where tha president
stands and shakes hands with tha people.
The guards have the hardest kind ot times
keeping them down stairs, for the women
especially are crasy to go up and look
over the bed rooms. - About one out of
every ten puts up the argument that ' "1
pay my taxes and this house Is mine and
I have a right to go all over It" But so
far no administration has been able to see
It that way. It may be said, however, for
th benefit of the disappointed, that the
eoond floor of th Whlw House is as
spacious and beautiful aa a human being
fcould desire for a residence, and If all a
president and his family cared to do In
summer was to keep cool they might do
this on the hottest day without leaving
the exeoutive mansion. Th building Is now
being fitted with lightning rods, to the
open-mouthed surprise of hundreds of
farmer' visitors who have been taught by
costly experienc that th fair promises
of the lightning rod agent ar a delusion
and a snare. '
Bloce his visit to Europe, relates th
National Magazine, Tillman has a fund of
new stories properly filtered and possess
the true continental flavor. In London
he enjoyed a real "poa soup" fog; to get
a good viw of It he took a ride on top
of a 'bus, which passed slowly along the
streets, as though feeling its way. The
wintry chill pinched his nos and ears,
th fog drlppad Niobe-Uk round him;
everything was moist and sticky; sound
was deadened;1 cabs and foot passengers
loomed up for a moment, like phantoms,
and disappeared as suddenly.
"If I was a scholard." said th 'bus
driver, emphaslng his final "d," "I'd
always talk Latin on thla sort of a day."
Th senator asked why.
"You know, these folks all look like
ghosts and (hostesses to m and Latin's
the proper language to talk to spirits In.
It's well known they won't answer if
they're spoke to In English."
Beside th senator was a Parse, wear
ing red fes. Th driver cast sundry curious
glanoee at htm, during the frequent pauae
necesaitated by the fog. w hen tn man
got oft, he said:
"You're an American, I know sir, but
would you mind telling m where that
chap balls from who's wearing that monkey
cpT"
"He's a sun worshipper, they are called
Parsees."
"Well, well worships th sun, does hT
I suppose he's come 'ere to 'ave a little
rest from his prayers," and he glanced
expressively at tha wet shivering passen
gers, and th gloomy, cheerless silo ot
street faintly visible through th fog.

laalflraar of Rdar4 Trad HSl-
for FUeal Year.
Indianapolis News.
The theory tha the high Cost of living is
laricrly due to our extravagance seems to
be borne out. In part at leaat. by th trade
balance figurra for tha flKcal year ending
June . We were extravagant enough. In
fact, to Import tl.657.8M.K4 worth of com.
modltiea, or more than ws had ever bought
from foreign countries ' before. Besldos
this, our extravsgance'also resulted In our
making the prices of our domestle produota
so high that the total value of our exports
were only ti,744.(M..20s, giving us a "fav
orable balance of trade" of $187,111,349.
which Is the smallest ws have ever had.
Indeed, for five months of the year the bal
ance of trade was against us, and possibly
the balance for th whole year would have
been against us if there had not been a
recession In prices.
When we compare thla lowaat haimM t
trade of $187,111.31 with th record fivura.
for th year ending June JO. IK, which wa
Ii,l,6i4, thla statement beoomea more Im
pressive; especially when It Is recalled that
three-quarters of that year was under the
panto Influences of the fall of 1907, and the
prices wnicn gave this total were compar
atively low, Evan comparison with th.
ten-year average, which Is SMS.SM.tas. hnwa
that we have permitted ourselves to fall fai-f
snort oi our possibilities as a produoing
nation.
NOW, if W ar tO retain Our Dn.anarltv ..
a country we must restrain our inu.
gance as a people. In other words, w must
gei our prioas back to a point where we
shall not be the best nation to sell to and
the poorest to buy from In the world. Th
Policy of recant years, for th most part,
has been th matntenano of price at any
ooet and we ar beginning to realise that
th cost haa been dear. For Instance
whenever demand has failed to keep up
with supply, there haa been a curtailment
of supply In order to maintain tha nrin in.
stead of reduction of price In order to main
tain to demand. One result of thi im.
been that mors and mor people have been
doing without mor and mor luxuries and
conveniences, and reducing their consump
tion of necessities to th lowest possible
limit or confining It to the- eheamiat rl,
Another result has been the lessening of
xore'.gn demand for our products. And the
combined effect of these haa been, on th
on hand, a check In Industrial develop

DO DIRECTORS DIRECT t
Two Receat Caaes of Mlaplared Con
fidence.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The most wonderful ot recent defalca
tions is reported from, Louisville. That
esteemed Institution th Fidelity Trust
company carried upon Its books a surplus
of $1,400,000. The surplus is still shown on
the books, but when some strange Impulse
led th president to examine the securities
he found that the bookkeeper had converted
them to his own use.
Th bookkeeper is In Jail, but th money
Is gone, and tha stockholders have no re
course but to subscribe an extra million
to make up th loss. Louisville Is Justly
proud of a concern which Is so llttlo dis
turbed by a missing million, but the old
question whether It Is th . business of
directors to direct.
There waa an instance reported from New
York on the same day where th caahler f
a Russian bank carried away tao.000 In
bonds. This waa bald theft, against which
no ordinary precautions can avail. The
man simply took th bonds from th safe
and mads off wltr them, as a burglar might
nave done. But th gradual peculation of
over ll,000,000,ixtending over several years,
can b possible only when tha whole sys
tem of sccounting la left to on or two men
and the reeponslbl officers or dlreotors ac
cept their account without any actual
audit.
Examples of this mistaken trust are so
frequent that the subject has become com
monplace. Any man who has to do with
large buslnees affairs can usually give ex
amples from his own experience where he
sccepts a financial statement without ex
amination, and perhaps certifies to its cor
rectness without any personal knowledge,
either to escape trouble or to avoid ap
pearing captious or suspicious. In the vast
majority of cases, no doubt, this trust Is
not abused; It Is none tha leas questionable
whether It is aver Justifiable at least
where th business cf other persons Is con
cerned. A man may take what risks he
will in bis own affairs; In any case of
trust, however limited, haa ha ever a
right to take anything for granted?
