There is a certain big alfalfa farmer

Colonel Bryan Is Just now having
the time of his life in what he used
to call "the enemy'a country." It is
to be noted, however, that the other
colonel Is on the far side of the con
tinent. So far aa the democratic party is
concerned, the south is not only in
the saddle, but has left only a small
part of the donkey's anatomy open
for northern democrats to lay even a
hand on the animal.
To give some Idea of the "radical
retrenchments" the democrats propose
to make in the expense of the govern
crnmeot, they have cut off HSi.nno
for a start. It cost something more
than $1,000,000,000 to run the gov

The Batmen Ontlook.
flellable Wall street men seem to In
cline to the view that business for the
next two years will run along conser
vative lines and that not until the
spring of 1913 will anything like a
sharp revival or a boom become ap
parent. By then the presidential elec
tion will have come and gone and an
administration been inducted again
Into office at Washington. State leg
islatures will have about come to an
other close and the business of the
country will have had time to recover
from polltlea. Then will begin, ac
cording to these prognostlcators, an
other period of great commercial and
industrial expansion, railroads reach
ing out with new extensions and other
forms of business making big ad
vances. While there is much In present con
ditions and the outlook to Justify this
view, yet the Impression should not
get out that Wall street la predicting
anything akin to a depression for the
two years Intervening. It admits that
business will not drop into a comatose
condition, but will continue very fair.
The difference will appear in the with
drawal of some of the extensive for
ward movements of capital and the
disposition to keep everything on a
sure level. That ought to have some
advantages. It will give. Investments
time to settle down to a firmer basis
and, perhaps, accomplish In that way
precisely what the country most needs.
It is well enough to put the brakes
on the swift pace we pursue now and
then, especially when the country is
as prosperous as it is today, con
fronted, moreover, with a good crop
outlook. Anyone who has kept ac
count of what the railroads and other
industrial concerns have beon doing
knows that they are not preparing to
shut down, but are laying big plans to
proceed. Only a few days ago came
the report from New York that four
of the great systems were about to
contest with one another for greater
advantage in the west, and the order
of the Harrlman lines to begin this
spring to expend $75,000,000 on road
improvement la proof enough that
progress is not to be Interrupted.
All this, however, does not belle the
prediction of a generally conservative
tone of business for some little time
to come. If this Is being planned by
concerted action It ought to encourage
rather than discourage confidence, and
have the effect of warding off any at
tempt at artificial disturbance.
On the Waiting: List.
When aome two years ao Andrew
Carnegie added $5,000,000 to hi
pension fund foundation to take In
state universities, Nebraska, by a
halr'a-breadth vote In one house, re
fused to qualify - professors in mir-
State ' university to become pension
beneficiaries. The possibility of con
tamination through tainted money
sent cold shivers over law-makers,
who wera sponsoring all sorts of
laintea legislation, and Nebraska was
made to occupy the uniaue nonitinn
of refusing a gift which other states
equally aeir-respectlng were glad to
accept
And now a new legislature haa
reversed the action of Its predecessor
and passed the necessary enabling
resolution prerequJslte to an applica
tion ror the State university to h ac
credited. The chancea are, however,
mat all that haa been accomDlish.rt
Is to make an addltloa to the waiting
list, Tor, while Nebraska was changing
Ita mind, a acore of states Jumped in
ahead and drew numbera that entitle
them to prior consideration. The in
come from the pension foundation do
nated by Mr. Carnegie 'haa all been
taken up by claims already filed or in
prospect, and like the show with ad
mission "first come first served" all
the choice seats have been occupied
and standing room sold out. Nebraska
may get inside the tent if It bides
Its time, but having once refused a
free pass, can hardly expect special
favors now.
To be on the waiting list is some
thing, but It la nowhere near aa satis
fying, as would be a certlfcate of full
membership in good standing.
I
Getting: the Black Handen.
The conviction In Chicago of a
leader in the Black Hand society must
be a matter of comfort to good citi
zens everywhere. It marka a victory
at the outset for the movement to
drive out of that city this gang of
murderous blackmailers. It is high
time organized effort was made in this
country to drive them out of every
city and state and bring to punish
ment every member who can be con
victed. The category of crime contains no
species more dastardly and dangerous
than this that works In the dark, dank
recesses of human depravity. It is a
wonder that auch forces could have
gone as far and become as mighty aa
they have In this country. They are
far more Insidious than any band of
outlawg that has ever terrorized a
frontier community, because they are
more treacherous and subtle and, as
experience has ahown. more elusive of
the law's powers. But the law is able
to run thcrn down and destroy them,
if it will but use its full resources in
that direction.
No one can deny that such influ
ences have had no adequate example
wade of them In any of these cases.
Perhaps that la largely why kidnaping
and blackmailing In other phases have
been carried on with such comparative
Impunity In the large cities. How
much personal fear of Black Hand
threats has had to do with the in
crease In this form of crime U impos
sible to fay. but It has bien sn ele
ment of consideration, no doubt. A
man must be less than human not to
be affected by a demand, accompanied
by a threat, when his own child Is
held as the ransom. And yet In all
the great kidnaping cases, where has
there been, even upon capture and
conviction, an adequate punishment
meted out? These crimes call for
particularly drastic treatment.
Freedom of the City.
In the current Scribner's Frederick
C. Jlowe presents a thoughtful com
parison between the American and
German city. The remarkable feature
Is that the present advantage Is all in
favor of the German. It Is not at all
creditable to the American spirit that
the citlea of a country whose general
scheme of government Is so widely at
variance with ours should enjoy a so
much higher degree of freedom than
Is obtainable by a city in America.
Several very good reasons exist for
this condition, none of which, how
ever, cannot be overcome.
In Europe, and especially In Ger
many, the city is older than the pres
ent state, and has always enjoyed a
degree of Independence that has per
mitted it to regulate ita own affairs in
its own way. In America the state
came first, and, unfortunately for the
city, when the foundations were laid
no provision was made for the proper
management and control of the great
communities that have sprung up.
The effect of this has been to place
such restrictions upon municipal ac
tivities as seriously hamper them, and
often entirely prohibit movements
that wculd be for the general good.
Many American cities have under
taken at one time or another to Im
prove their local conditions, to secure
for their citizens advantages both ap
parent and real, but everything that
haa been accomplished in this direc
tion has been achieved in apite of the
general rule. The American city, In
stead of being permitted to work out
its own problems in its own way. is
obliged to go to a legislature com
posed largely of men who have no un
derstanding or sympathy with the
problems that a city must face. Re
formatory measures that are thor
oughly practical for the rural districts
are forced upon the large centers of
population by legislators who mean
well, but -who misunderstand the con
ditions with which they are dealing.
But this is only one phase of the
problem. The more serious aspect of
the situation is that under present
conditions the cities are compelled to
go to the legislature to secure permis
sion to carry out the ordinary activi
ties of communal life. The mainte
nance bf the schools, libraries, parks,
fire and police departments, the au
thority for caring for the streets and
alleya, in fact, for every element that
enters Into municipal housekeeping,
must depend upon the favor of a law
making body that has no direct Inter
est In the outcome, and only too fre
quently no conception of Its impor
tance. .
The remedy, we are told, lies within
our reach, and that la the lesson
taught by experience of German cities.
If the legislators could be Induced to
give over that portion of their pre
rogative which permits them to con
trol the municipal life of the cities
and allow that control to pass Into the
hands of the people directly con
cerned, the problem would be solved,
and it can be satisfactorily solved in
no other way.
A Political Paradox.
The city election at Pasadena lends
truth to the saying that "Dolitica
makes strange bedfellows." William
Thum, the inventor of etlcky fly paper
and a millionaire, has been elected
mayor on the socialist ticket.
Here Is a combination of prodigies
had to beat. In the first nlace. not
many inventors become millionaires,
though they often live to see the fruits
of their genius enrich others. In the
next place, few aoclallBta become mil
lionaires and few millionaires become
socialists. The two together seem al
most paradoxical. It is equally an
omalous to think of a sooialst being
elected to preside over the affairs of
effete Pasadena, that cloistered ren
dezvous for pleasure-seeking wealth.
The one natural feature of the case is
the union of stick fly paper and finan
cial and political success.
But the strangeness of the bed
fellows, so to speak, ought to give
comfort to impatient ones, who feel
that only by some magic power of the
elect may official preferment be ob
tained; that the door Is closed to the
common herd.
Two Kinds of Service.
A fortunate man is he who can
measure the worth of life and Its ac
tivities by some other than the too
common istandard of money, for it
pavea his way to happiness. The man
whose only yardstick is the dollar
cannot hope to be happier than the
dollar can make him. The head of
one of the country's great unlversltiea
recently said that he regarded teach
ing the grandest work in the world
and he would not exchange- hia voca
tion for any other, or for any amount
of money.
The spirit of this needs to be caught
by many people, young men especially,
those who are apt to get the sordid
view. Where philanthropic service
can be combined with lucrative em
ployment, certainly there can be no
objection, but where the one is lost in
the other there is much objection.
Often professions or semi-professions
that need efficient powers are used
merely as s'rpplng stones to money,
making vocations, offering no great
opportunity for service to the world.
The characters of the to spheres of
activity may not be comparable, and
yet the financial consideration Is apt
to outweigh all others.
Success in life Is not to be gauged
by the size of a man's income. This
very educator whom we have quoted,
though at the head of one of the big
universities, would make a sorry show
ing against many men In far less con
spicuous positions if the comparison
were made with the dollar mark. But
measured by the character of their
work and their spheres of power and
Influence, the educator la beyond the
reach of the other. It is well when
youth can decide what is its duty and
stand by it. That may and will in
volve some sacrifice, no doubt, but
duty done will bring its own reward
to compensate for all the sacrifices it
requires.
Ihie Process of Law.
The decision of the New York court
which decided the workmen's compen
sation act of that state to be invalid
because It took "property without due
process of law" brings ua a little
closer perhaps to the solution of the
great question involved in the subject
of workmen's compensation. For a
euphemistic reason the phrase, "em
ployers' liability," has been changed
to that of "workmen's compensation."
In accepting this change countcnauce
at least has been given to the proposi
tion that a workman injured Is enti
tled to be compensated for that Injury, j
No modification of the employer's re
lation is effected by the change in
phraseology.
It is decidedly unfortunate at this
time that the court should take refuse
behind a strained construction of the
law in order to relieve the employer
of responsibility and deprive the work
man of relief. Employers throughout
the land have generally conceded that
their liability to compensate Injured
workmen is an item in the direct ex
pense of carrying on the business.
Through one or another of several
forms the employers are generally In
sured on this point, and the payment
of the insurance premium is an ad
mission of liability. With this view of
the case It Beems unreasonable to con
tend that the state cannot make a pro
vision to regulate the method by
which the employer shall discharge
his admitted liability. A tax for any
public purpose is in effect an appro
priation of private property, and if a
tax levied with the object of compen
sating injured workmen Is not a tax
for a public purpose, it is difficult to
conceive how it may be described.
The New York statute may have
been defective in some of its pro
visions. As a matter of fact, it was
satisfactory neither to the employer
nor the employed, but to declare it in
valid on the ground that it amounted
to taking private property without due
process of law seems far-fetched.
Some means will be found to get
around this bogey of "due process of
law" whenever it blocks progress, and
the equally absurd fictions of "fellow
servant," "contributory negligence"
and "assumption of risk."
Church and Labor.
What Is to hinder a closer alliance
of practical friendship between the
church and labor? That Is a momen
tous question with many a conscien
tious, hard-working minister, who be
lieves It the duty of the church to get
hold of the masses and realizes that
It has not done so as It should. These
men are giving careful, patient
thought to the subject, and in places
realizing excellent results. The success
of the "church and labor departments"
maintained by one of the aggressive
evangelical denominations is inspir
ing. Fortunately It Is in the hands of
a man who, himself, spent many years
of his life working as a mechanic, so
before he got the church's vision he
had that of labor. He has a big place
In the councils of both and stands as
a connecting link between them.
In many cities, Omaha for one, the
Ministerial union and the Central La
bor union exchange delegates. But
there Is need for a different and closer
alliance, for a common appreciation
of one another, for more mutual aym
pathy. Many church leaders are
keenly alive to this fact and are trying
to solve the problem. They must
make the first move. The initiative
rests with them. That is but natural,
for there can be no question that if
the church goes to labor in the proper
spirit, with a definite purpose and a
clear understanding of labor and its
needs, it will find a response.
Why should not these two great
forces come Into more sympathetic re
lation? Fundamentally they stand
for the came thing. The burden of
every labor organization's constitution
and bylaws and every speaker's plea
Is equality between man and man, Jus
tice and right, brotherhood and fel
lowship. That is not the evangelical
way of expressing it, but it is the gos
pel as the Carpenter of Nazareth
taught it to the multitudes and the
wayfarers, the common people among
whom he mingled most. Why, then,
should the church and labor stand
apart? The world needs their union,
the Inspiring Influence for good that
would come from it, and they both
need it badly. This la a work in which
the whole church, without regard to
denomination, could consistently en
gage. The estrangement between
these two great forces undoubtedly is
due chiefly to a lack of mutual under
standing. In his farewell message Governor
Sballenberger urged university re
moval to the farm campus, but the
democrats in the legislature paid no
attention to thin recommendation.
They must have heard that Mr. Bryan
favored it, too.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.
Cleveland Plain Dealer: Rev. Dr. Asked

St. Paul Dispatch: A California clergy
man has discovered that sauer kraut con

llmberger cheese must contain the germ of
life everlasting.
Brooklyn Eagle: The holy synod in Rus
sia forbids to Jews the use of Christian

Russian names knows that they are all

so much worried by the situation.
New York Tribune: The good bishop of
