Oar Confrcssman'i Bad Fall Down.
Our congressman, Charles Otto
Lobeck, has, we rrgret to note, dis
appointed his constituents in this Sec
ond Nebraska district. He has failed
them In the one hope above all others
they cherished of him. They did not
expect him to leap abruptly Into fame
as an orator, for they knew his talents
lay along different lines than forensic
display. They did not dare count on
him to become especially active as a
floor leader at hls session, for tbey
realized that new members must keep
in .the background for a little while.
But one thing they did expect of htm
and had a .right to expect of him
was that when the day rolled around
for that match game of base ball be
tween the opposite sides of the house,
Charles Otto would be not only in the
lineup, but in the headlines, and not
only In the head I i tics, but in the very
keyllne; that 00 the front page of the
morning papers chronicling the story
of glory they would read, In bold,
black type, something like this:
LOBKCK WINS THE OAMK. '
Nebraska Congressman Sluizs out Victory
for the Democratic Tteam.
The big ball game between the republic
ans and democrats of the house yesterday
waa a glorious victory for the democratic
team, or rather, for Lobeck of Nebraska,
Ita first baseman, whose marvelous field
ing surpassed that of Chance, Cha.se or
Konetohy, and Whose terrific batting
would have put Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner
and Lajole to shame.
But what did they read? Nothing.
No mention of Charles Otto. Not even
his name in the lineup. Not even on
the team as a sub. He may not even
have seen the game for all we know.
Think of it go to all the trouble of
sending this old-time player to Wash
ington and then not to be represented
by him In this one game of the season.
It is up to our congressman to
explain.
Deposit Guaranty and Postal Savings.
Now that the bosk guaranty law has
gone Into effect we shall expect a large
amount of capital to come out from Ha
hiding- place. Tecumseh Journal-Tribune.
This, it will be remembered, was
one of the chief arguments advanced
In support of the deposit guaranty
scheme, and it will, Indeed, be inter
esting to watch and see whether any
large amount of hoarded savings is
attracted to the state banks, operating
under the law In contrast with the
national banks, which are not subject
to Its provisions. The chances are
against this expectation being fully
realized, because money that was
hoarded through lack of confidence In
banks is more apt to go to the postal
savings, depositories. The, first postal
savings bank in Nebraska that at
Nebraska City had at the end of last
month on deposit about $6,000 in a
town of less than 6,000 population,
averaging about $1 per capita, and
the postmaster who was in charge dp
to that time expresses the opinion
that at least three-fourths of this
money was brought out of hiding and
in that way restored to circulation.
If the state banks, therefore, fall to
show an acceleration of deposits as a
consequence of the guaranty law, the
champions of deposit guaranty will
find relief in pointing to the success
of the postal savings banks. .
Size of National Contentions.
Attention is being called to the fact
that the new congressional apportion
ment not only enlarges the member
ship of the house of representatives
and increases the number of votes in
the electoral college, but also adds to
the number of delegates in the na
tional nominating conventions. The
great party conventions are made up
of delegates from each state in double
the number of senators and represen
tatives In congr.es with arbitrary al
lotment to the District of Columbia,
thei territories and the Insular posses
sions. Figuring it out in the usual
way, the next republican national con
vention will have 1,064 delegates, and
the next, democratic national conven
tion 1.09S delegate!, the difference
being accounted for by the fact that
the democrats give the territories
more generous representation than do
the republicans. The necessary ma
jority to nominate a candidate for
president on the republican ticket will
be 533, while to nominate the candi
date for president on the democratic
ticket under the two-thirds rule will
require 928 votes. It fs reasonable to
expect that this increase in the size of
the conventions will lead to renewed
efforts for a bssis of apportionment
that will make representation conform
more nearly to party strength and at
the same time reduce the aggregate
number of delegates.
Infantile Paralysis Tet Unfatliomed
Evidently, endowed science has not
yet found the specific, nor even an
effective treatment, for infantile par
alysis. The mystery of the disease
has baffled the best efforts of the ex
perts working with the advantage of
unlimited resources to back them. pr.
Simon Flexner, in charge of the cam
paign, addressing a body of medical
officers In connection with the New
York State Board 6f Health, said:
Until we can succeed In determining how
the disease la transmitted we cannot expect
to accomplish Its prevention. The source
of the entrance of the germs of this dis
ease appears to be through the upper sir
paasagea, especially the nose. It would
also appear that the most probable means
of exit of this germ Is through the nose
and throat. It is, therefore, very Impor
tant that the discharges from the nose and
throat of persona suffering from Infantile
paralysis be promptly destroyed.
Of course. Dr. Flexner does not
mean the fight has been abandoned.
His experience with the disease only
goes to show that, if anything, it is
etaa more of a mystery than was at
first believed, and tt was reported to
have completely baffled medical sci
ence. Nevertheless, it Is a good thing
(or humanity that these scientists will
be kept at work until they do discover
the secret of the dread disease. Some
progress, of course, has been accom
plished, for it is progress to have dis
covered what Dr. Flexner has about
the necessity of first finding the source
of entry and exit of the germs and
their deadly character. The difficulty
encountered only goes to emphsslze
the importance (o the world of the
philanthropy back of this research,
and the world's debt to those who
carry it on.
An Optimistio View of Business.
George M. Reynolds, president of
the Continental and Commercial Na
tional bank of Chicago, makes a show
ing as to crop and business eonditlona
based upon the results of a compre
hensive investigation, that Is strik
ingly Interesting for Its optimism. In
a word, Mr. Reynolds says, "The coun
try is all right, the calamity howlers
are all wrong."
In spite of severe drouths over a
wide area of the farming country, the
crops will exceed the average for ten
years, according to this report, and
come not tar, in some cases, from the
big records of previous years. But
here la a statement that must call for
much congratulation: "The general
business review finds no reason for
fearing a longer continued depres
sion. " The authority of the state
ment gives It 'a weight especially en
couraging at this time.
The banking situation, according to
Mr. Reynolds, is clearing. The heavy
excess of loans over deposits has been
cut down one-half in eighteen months
and done so quietly as to produce bo
excitement whatever. Individual de
posits are mounting up and the ten
dency toward speculation has been
checked. Of course, bankers and
others in touch with financial condi
tions are feeling easier over the pro
nouncements by the . courts on some
of the big trust questions. These
out of the way and the "rule of
reason" laid down for future guid
ance have, undoubtedly, had a quiet
ing effect on restless business gen
erally. Here is a paragraph in the Reynolds
report, which it seems worth while
to reprint:
It would be well to pause for a moment
and compare the present volume of busi
ness with that of a few years ago, a time
preceding the tendency toward an over
expansion of productive capacity. Were
present production computed upon plant
capacity of 1906 the percentage of operation
would be much nearer normal than as com
puted at present. This Is true all through
the business world, and hence, with a lib
eral allowance for natural growth and the
attendant Increased consumptive powers. It
Is doubtful if the present volume of busi
ness on the average would fall mora than
10 per cent under normal. A comparatively
moderate pick up. then, would make. a re
markable difference In the general situa
tion. No Railroad Strikes Wanted.
The man who pays the freight, and
occupies the passenger coach can have
little, patience with this talk of a
threatened railroad strike in the west
tying up practically all lines. He will
hope that Mr. Kruttschnltt Is mistaken
in believing such a disaster imminent.
The people would get the worst of
such a strike and they are in no mood
for It. Unless we mightily misunder
stand public temper, they would not
endure the accompanying hardships
complacently. And whether they
would or not, tbey should not' be
called on to.
This imagining that the employer
or employe In a public service corpora
tion can between themselves create
and carry on a labor war irrespective
of the rights of the people-at-large is
all wrong, and the sooner it is so
recognized the better for every inter
est. No matter what the issue is at
otake In this present controversy, It Is
not too great to be adjusted without
a strike. It certainly Is not as great
as the consequences of a strike would
be. After a period of Industrial
peace such as this country has been
enjoying the last few years people are
convinced that strikes can be avoided
If those directly concerned make a
real effort to avoid thein.

HISH IN FARM VALVES.
Phenomenal Uplift Nte
la Census
Retnrns.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The wealth of the country Inveated In
farm lands and Improvements reaches the
noteworthy total of around thlrty-slx bil
lions of dollars. This Is the footing which
has Just been reached for the census of 1910.
It represents the largest decade Increase In
value of from farm property ever known.
The comparison with ten years ago by
divisions of such property, exclusive of
live stock follows:
11(10. 1900. Per cent
Increase
(Land $38,383,821,000 1B,1,03,000 111
Buildings ... t.2M.O2S,000 S,Bf4,614.000 77
Implements 1,261,817,000 749,778,000 tilt
Total 36,fc,663,000 I17,S&T,4,000 108
And as against this relative increase of
108 per cent we have for previous decades
running In order back to 1860; 27, 12, SS, U
and 101 per cent respectively the last ap
plying to the ten years from 1800 to 1860.
Our standpat brethren will doubtless sells
upon this extraordinary percentage of farm
wealth Increase for the last decade aa a
product of the high tariff policy then em
bodied in the Dlngley act. They cannot be
allowed so much comfort. Under the same
policy ss between 1880 and 1890 the Increase
was only tt per cent and from 1870 (gold
value) to 1SH0 It wan only 8s per cent. To
find an appreciation of farm property at
all equal to thla of the last decade we must
go back to 1860-M-and that was a low
tariff period; that was the time of the
Walker or "free trade" tariff and of the
still lower tariff of 1857.
But that was a time like the last decade
of extraordinary expansion In the produc
tion of the world's chief money metal In
which these values are reckoned; and this
must be the explanation of the exceptional
Increase of farm values for both decades
so similar In their changes of monetary
volume and value, and so dissimilar In
their tariff policies. There have been no
trusts in the farm Industry and the tariff
clearly does not explain the phenomenal
rise of these valuations. It is due to mone
tary inflation, and thla Is well to remem
ber when we hear the high prices else
where charged up Indiscriminately to trust
combinations.

When vou're passing them round
To the men who deserve
To be wldelv renowned
For their generous nerve.
There are ne.rn.-e which are intesod
From the luminous scroll
Where Is written the list
That fame loves to enroll.
The man who keee still
When a story la told
And who latighs with a will.
Though the matter Is old;
The man who says "yes"
When vou ask for a lan;
He Is brave more or less,
Though he llntrera unknowni
And the man who goea out
For a holldsy fair
With his children about
Nor complains of the oars.
And mor whom we know
Should lo cherished and prized;
