A French Kan Hunt.
After reading tba vivid description
of the spectacular capture of tbe
bandlta In the suburbs of Parla, the
conclusion la forced that the recent
experience with retaking tbe three es
caped convicts, who bad murdered
their way through tba walla of the
Nebraaka state prtaoa, waa by com
parison a tame affair. Tba French
sleutbs evidently do, things differ
ently, although with almllar reaulta
aa far as the outlawa ara concerned.
It la self-evident now that tboaa who
pursued and brought down our con
vict desperadoea did not glv suffi
cient, time to assemble the thousands
of spectators who would have' gladly
assembled aa they were attracted
over In Parla. Neither did they aum-
mon the cinematograph operators on
the ground to embalm tba scenes ot
action In photographle fllma that
will delight picture show audiences
later. Worse atill, they did not give
the engineering corpa, nor the dyna
mite crew, half a'chanc to display
their skill and cunning. II plainly
takes a French prefect of police, with
reinforcements of gendarmes, to do
the man-hunt job In a modern up-to-date

laws on Woman and Child labor.
-Most states are dealing by law
with tha problem ot child and woman
labor, eeeklng to Improve conditions
under which they bsv to work; Th,
volume of statutes enacted la a huge
one, but th diversity of their proft
slona la also great. Tba chief need
now seems to be a greater uniform
ity la these laws throughout th
country. Until thst Is sen laved, th
reform must be regarded as more or
lesa In an experimental stags and far
abort of lta highest possible good.
Nebraaka baa had a thar In this
kind of legislation and will doubt
leas be found ready when th time

Separated in Death.
On of th moat pathetic after
thoughts of the Titanic disaster Is
that the body ot Mra. laldor Strsus
could not have been recovered along
witn that ot her huaband, since aha
heroically elected to die with him In
preference to living without him, aa
she might have done. One she took
her Place la tha lifeboat at her hus-
band'a direction and by his assist
ance and then, turning to bid him
a iaat farewell, cried, "No, w have
lived our live together; where
you go, I will go," and wrapping ber
arma about him, they gave the world
a aubllm example of a union "till
death do us part."
"Entreat ma not to leave the, or
to return from following after thee:
for whither thou goest I will go; and
where tbou lodgeat I will lodge."
Ruth's love for Naomi flnda a beaa-
urui counterpart In thia "noble
woman's undying devotion to him
who bad ber to go through life as
his companion. And ah refused to
regard that Journey a ended so long
aa life remained.
It la believed now that the body of
Mrs. Straus with Us others not now
recovered win never be found. Un
doubtedly th deep pathos ot the
thought has occurred to many minds,
that have been Impressed with the
love and courage of this brave
woman.
Sot Attacking Taft'i Work.
President Taft'a administration
haa a fine tribute in the fact that his
opponents are waging their cam
paign, not noon his works, but en
tirely upon personal grounda. Prac
tically nothing la being said by his
critics about what be haa done
president, that is to tba extent ot
daring to take up the achievements
of his administration and analysing
them for the purpose of attacking
him.
The president went Into office
upon a platform of distinct pledges.
As far as has been possible, he has
redeemed those pledges. He waa not
elected to office upon any promise
to promote the new theories of gov
ernment which others are preaching
today, but among tbe thlnga hla
party pledged through htm and
which have been brought to fruition
are to be counted more far-reaching
measures of social and economical
reform than have been enacted In
any other almllar period of our his
tory.
ben the republicans com to
enunciate their platforma for the
next campaign, they can, without stul
tification, point with pride to the
record of the Taft administration
Even In Illinois, where tba state con
vention was completely In tha bands
of th Roosevelt following, and an
Instructed Roosevelt delegation was
cboaen to represent the state In tha
national convention, tba platform
had nothing but commendation for
th president, although withholding
from him tha endorsement for ra-1
election which ordinarily would have
accompanied such approval. No re
publican would erase what baa been
added to tb record of th party by
th prealdent In the form of sub
stantial accomplishments In tb lsst
three years.
Real American Opera.
Tb Boston Metropolitan Opera
bouse has announced lta decision to
produce another music-drama next
season composed by Americana. Tbua
real American grand opera Is becom
ing a fact at last. Our people are
gradually coming to appreciate that
dramatic music, to be worth llsten
lpg to, need not necessarily b writ
ten and rendered In a tongue under
stood only by a scant number in th
audience. In other words, grand
opera It beginning to mean something
to us. Just as it has meant much to
our European friends.
Tbe last season waa a good one
for grand opera. In vartoue cities
tbs promotion side of th art reached
out to th very ambition limit of a
demand to make grand opera popular,
to lower It not at all la its Intrinsic
art value', but to lower It only In
prlc ao that all classes, as well as
the few. might patronise It. Of
course, if It Is ever to take a really
self-austalnlng bold on us this Is what
must b done. Grand opera Is not so
delicate a thing that it thrives only
on partial patronage. Plethoric box-
office receipts In no wise adversely
affect tbs music or th artists.
Americans have com composers ot
their own whose operas are no longer
to be coddled as tbe best that willing
amateur caa do; they are taking
purely upon their merits, snd have a
standing of their own. These com
posers snd their productions, there
fore, are no longer to be held back
simply because they belong here
rather than abroad.

Ta enlist financial aid from th federal
government for state fairs at th object
of a delegithi which ha been waiting
oa eon grass with W. r. Mel lor, secretary
ot tha Nebraaka Stat Board af Agrlcui
turn, aa principal spokesman. The deal re
I to bav congress appropriate th money
for goveminant buildings wherever the
Mates maintain permanent fair grounds.
The Washington correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle tells about th work of
th coenmieel oners tn thai style:
It peon n sea to appropriate 110000 for
the erection of a federal building oa the
agricultural fair grounds of tnoa states
which now or hereafter shall by statute
recognise and make appropriation toward
the establishment and support af a state
fair. Suck building la to be used solely
for th display of agriculture, horticul
ture, machinery or industrial exhibits. In
order to further encourage those Inter
ests. ,
In order to secure th erection of such
a building th secretary of tha treasury
must be furnished by tha governor of
ths state wishing to have It with proof
that the state has compUed with the
conditions: whereupon the money will be
paid to tba state treasurer, who (hall re
ceive it and expend It solely for the
specified purpose within two years after
Its deposit In th state treasury. Not to
exosep St par cent of the spaos In each
building may be reserved by the govern
ment for departmental exhibits. "De
partmental exnious," tt has been ex
plained by the advocates of tbs bill, does
not refer exclusively to purely agrlcui
tural cxhlMta.
At a recent bearing en tbe bill before
th house commute, en of th stats
fair board officials explained that fxr
several years It has bean customary
throughout the mora purely agricultural
states ta make naval exhibit at ths
stats fairs. In the Interest of ssourlng
recruits for th navy. Recruiting officers.
be said, bav found that boys from tbs
rural -district ara better specimens of
manhood, make sturdier soldiers, and
nave fewer vicious habits than recruits
from cities: therefore, he claimed, en
listments mad from agricultural states
are a paying proposition for the govern
ment, and exhibits mads for ths purpose
of Inducing a sturdy class of recruits Is
deslrsM to th government for future
results. .,
Should all th states accept the condi
tions Imposed by the bill. It would mean
an appropriation ot M.MO.m for federal
buildings at state fairs. According to In
tormattoa furnished o th committee,
nearly halt the state now make appro
priation through their legislatures for
ths maintenance of their annual asrliul-
tural exposition. Thee states Include
California, Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Kan
sas. Ksntacky, Minnesota. Mississippi.
Missouri, Montana. Nebraska. Nsw Tork.
Ohio, Oregon, south Dakota. North Da
kota. Utah, Tennessee, Washington, Wis
consin and Wyoming. More than half of
them have congressmen who are mem
bers ot the house commute on seri
culture, and It was appparent from the
attention paid to advocates of ths bill
who appeared before tbe committee re
cently that tt appealed to the members
as a measure of considerable me.lt.
A number ot states in which legisla
tures make appropriation for their stats
fslr were represented at th bearing, W.
R Mellar, secretary of tbs Nebraska etste
fair board, appearing as their spokes
man. He pointed out in hut address that
the state fair Is recognised aa a bene
ficial Institution, claiming that it taught
as no other single Institution did, tb
vslue of bavins pedigreed stock, of ths
bast products of ths soil, th best ar
rangements for farm buildings and fields,
the beet methods of rotation of crops,
tbs balanced ration for feeding, the
various means of water supply, and many
other educational feature. Mr. Mellor
also laid stress upon the Important In
formation to be gained by farmers from
an Inspection of the farm machinery dis
played which saabled them to see sll ths
leading makes sxhiblted side by side,
with an expert In charge to explain their
respective merits, making It possible for
a Judicial selection to be made according
to the uses in view.
Answering the objection that stats fairs
usually last but five dsys In each year.
ths speaker, wnll admitting that to be
true, urged those who attended such
expositions are busy men, who have little
time for extended schooling at experi
ment station that are provided tor
by government aid. but must gather in
formation from object lessons, ths press
and actual experience. The school that Is
in session tor 1M days In ths year would
have, he stated, an average of about n
students In attendance, which would ap
proximate a total of 100.000 and this, he
showed by figures. Is about the average
attendance for all of th state fairs. As
aa educational institution, therefore, be
believed tt was Just to compare It In
efficiency to the schools with like at
tendance. T an objection that th provisions ot
ths bill were not broad enough and ought
to Include fairs owned by municipalities
and other que si -public corporations, the
speaker called attention to th provision
ot tb bill that permitted state to ap
propriate money for their fairs for the
purpose of securing federal aid, and ex
pressed tbs belief tba snar solid prac
tical In st ruction la imparted far the
money through state fairs tbaa by pres
ent subsidised soetbada.
Some interesting statistics were pre
