til v f rdr'iad Propresj. .
:v Amei1caos are just now indulging
in , riot of ideas which may in due
time be' effectively fco-ordinated, but
at present seem j an inettricable con
fusion of' vain efforts to. find a royal
road to the goal of human nappineri.
Politics, business, social life in all
Its manifestations,' have been caught
in the maelstrom set whirling by the
demand for "progress," and seem
spinning helplessly. In the drift. A
spirit' of pseudo-progressiveness has
possessed the masses, and everything
that payors ot ie so-caljed old order
is attacked from all sides at once by
the clamorous 'advocates of change.
And many of these latter imagine
they are pioneers, setting' out on
new road, the end of which will be
good for all. Others," wedded to
things as they have found them, are
apprehensive of the conditions, see
ing only disaster ahead it the vaguely
outlined plans of the "progressives"
come to fruition. '
One studious investigator an
Bounces that we' are on the verge of
social bankruptcy; another professes
to see in the unrest' the promise of
greatest good: both agree that the
condition is one of change. 'But all
who are concerned nay take com'

The iuost discouraging feature of
the present' situation is the apparent
desire to do away with order, to di

osity, chief characteristic ; ot , the
American people, has led them. 'into
many blunders, tut they have shown
an ; equally ; marked aptitude for
cheerfully correcting their, blunders,
and starting - anew. So, v Imminent
danger that threatens because of ap
parent lose of regard for tb things
that are orderly and exact , may be
averted by 'a return of calm and de

the agitator has 'been quieted some
what. None of the institutions on
which the liberty, of the people has
rested is seriously Involved; abuses
that have ' grdwa ; uppopdet 'the law
will be removed, and a better way of
doing things may be found. But it
is not conceivable . that the funda
mentals or .cur government win sur
fer. Even in the confusion of dis
order, may be. ..discerned the, work
ing of Order, and out of K. alji will
come progress. For it is- true, now,
as it has always teen, that nhrough

An American Canal.
The United States' right under the
Hay-Pauncefote ( treaty to fix and
regulate rates for traffic through the
Panama canal has not yet been ques
tioned, so far as has come to public
attention,' in all the discussion which
Europe has given the subject. For
eign journals have asssmed that as
4 matter of course. American : ship
pers would be given the advantage
of preferential or free tolls and thus
far no protest has been made to this
by any European power that we
know of. .
Yet our own congress and our own
press are not agreed that American
shippers should be given this ad
vantage, and; those i opposing free
tolls support their contention by
questioning the right ot such conces
sion.' On the matter of tolls, ; the
house bill now pending provides:
No preference shall bt given nor dis
crimination shown, directly nor indi
rectly, to the vtaaeia of any nation, its
oltlsens - or subjects, or other vessels
belonging to tha government of the
United States (including those belonging
to tha Panama Railroad compsny) and
tha government of the Republlo of Pan.
ama, observing the rules , and, regua
tion'a of tha Panama canal .
the effect of this provision is to
give free passage only to government-owned
ships of the United
States and Panama - and to subject
to the same rates as charged foreign
vessels, all prjvate American-built
and American-owned vessels whether
engaged, In domestic or foreign' com
merce. Congressman Towner of Iowa
and others contend that thisoffers
no -encouragement to American ship
ping and imposes on It a burden
never before endured. They plead for
a free-toll system for coastwise traf
fic ; ';:'.,;'($ i; 'v;
First, Jt must be remembered that
above everything else this is an
American canal; that while weare
to promote world commerce and open
the waterway te the ships of all
nations upon equal footing the Amer
ican government bought , the terri
tory, built the canal and will operate
it As Secretary Hay stated:
The whole theory f Ahe, treaty Is (hat
tha canal is to b an American canal.
Tha enormous cost of constructing It Is
to be borne by the ATnlted States alone.
When constructed ii is to be exclusively
Plrty.'pt th cwted Btates and to
be rnanageo,- controlled and defended
by it. . : -
And the treaty, itself, simply rati
fies this right of ours tt) fix the tolls
and other regulations. '' President
Taft, in his message to congress last
December, said:
I am confident that thelTnlted Stflies
has the power , to relieve from the pay
ment of tolls any part of our shipping
that congress deem wis. ' ' "" 1
It seems perfectly plain, therefore,
that so far as the government's right
goes to grant free tolls, that is thor
oughly established.; Now, as to the
expediency of exercising that right,
that: is another matter and the only
one with which congress should now
consent itself. ','---' r

The Immigrant an Asset. ; ..
' To the criticism ot the foreign im
migrant as a liability Dr. Edward A.
Steiner, himself born in Europe, re
plies with keen logic that the immi
grant Is an asset to this country.
Those who do not think so should
look about and-count' the country's
great men who sprung from immigra
tion. I ": ..;':'; . '''' ''';.",:'
"No people can endure unless they
pass the test." The newcomer li
set to the hardest, most menial task.
In the majority of cases he performs
it satisfactorily, so much so that he
rises to positions r of importance.
Then we may fairly assume that the
people who do pass the test endure.
This country cannot afford to part
with the immigrant. ; The literacy
test is being urged. Of course, it
would be desirable if all immigrants
could read and write! but the (fact, is
that illiteracy is not the dividing line
between the good and bad immigrant.
This country has proved its ability
to make mighty fine Americana out
of the rawest aliens. But,' take Dr.-
Steiner's ; proposition ( and K suppose
2,ooo college graduates landing irons
Europe.' What would - we do with
them? "They would all want to live
by their wits," says Dr. Steiner, "and
tod rjrany.of us are doing that now."
Perhaps, after all, the jnan with his
European'educatlon and training, of
definitely analysed views would not
assimilate Americanism , as well as
th4 one. with common sense, but no
particular education. Properly reg
ulated, immigration must, go on and
the immigrant will continue to be
an asset to us if we do our part to
ward him. "' 1
Nebraska Homemakers
The impulse of progress felt In all
lines of business is strikingly re
flected in the development of build
ing and loan associations , in Ne
braska. Statistics submitted at. the
recent meeting of the State League
show an average growth of f 2,0 00,-
M'o.'ft year ln' ten years th com
bined resources of state associations
advanced from 4,000,000 to' 125,-
000,000, and-tne number-or snare-
holders to 70,000. The estimate of
25,000 home owners established by
means of these institutions is well
within the mark. " In the " Greater
Omaha' alone It is, fairly certain this
agency enabled 7,000'familles to buy
or build new homes,, without' taking
into account" the purchases 'pf old
homes or. the taking over of old
loans. ;The, record is sa' notable
tribute to the worth of co-operative
eelf-ltlBlp.:. "': ' ; :'.'; ' '
A ; business of , such magnitude,
safeguarding the savings . or the
homes of .-70,000 persons, rightfully
commands the earnest care and
watchfulness; of , the State '; Banking
board. The law 'which brought these'
associations into' existence is largely
responsible f ortheir, success. , With
out its guiding protection and limita
tions the giant associations ot today
would undoubtedly have been stunted
or strangled in their infancy twenty
years ago. ! Hence it behooves the
active managers and directors of as
sociations to heed the warning note
sounded . by ' the banking board
through its secretary, Hoc. E. Royse.
Mr. Royse speaks as a steadfast
and consistent friend of association
progress within bounds of law .and
safety. His criticism of the unlim
ited issue of full-paid stock and the
unequal distribution of profits merit
serious consideration and reform.
Full-paid stock is regarded by man
agers as an essential means bt kneel
ing the demand for loans which the
proceeds of instalment stock cannot
supply. . Danger from this source of
expansion is easily exaggerated. The
chief danger, lies in the temptation
which idle money exerts in the ac
ceptance of lesser margins of security
than when funds are scarce. Experi
ence goes to show, however, that the
practice carries its own remedy. , Al
ready associations are obliged by the
excess of Investors' money to refuse
such deposits and limit, share issues
to installment stock., Most ; associa
tions issue full-paid stock only when
a place, is ready for the money. '
The practice of unequal distribu
tion of profits 'Is much Inore inde
fensible. ' In letter and spirit the
law' requires mutuality, in the dis
tribution of "earnings. . Every large
association in the state with ; which
the writer isi familiar distribute
earnings on an exact equality, every
doljar.tothe credit' ot the borrower,
the' installment as well as the full-
paid st6ckholders receiving the same
rate of dividend. ' For twenty years
it has been the constant aim of the
meh composing the State league to
uphold the mutuality- of the law, to
conserve the 'interests of "the bor
rower and safeguard the interests ot
ail mcmJjerA. . Bj adhering rfjid tP
this policy they have won popular
success and support. No doubt if the
State Banking board takes the Initia
tive in correcting the practice com
plained of it will have the cordial
support of State league members.
Colonel Content with Alabama Test
Talk of the "steam roller" began
as' soon as the national committee
settled the Alabama contests in favor
of President Taft . Colonel Roose
velt, himself.'.did not start nor join in
that talk, however. He produced a
notation previously made to show a
newspaper man, after the committee
had acted at Chicago, that he had
counted on only two delegates from
Alabama,1 conceding twenty-two to
Taft. He expressed full satisfaction
with the committee's decision. ' But
that...of Course, will not stop claquers
inspired either by, selfish aspiration
for office or revenge against the pres
ident, their concern for Roosevelt
being entirely incidental. ' ; .
Xeadenhip of the Wealthy. s
One of the weaknesses of the
wealthy class, or the aristocracy of
Rome, in Us struggle with democ
racy, was its intractability; its in
disposition to be led. Leaders
apleaty there were among the eon
servatives, but even when they were
selected the failure to follow usually
.brought loss and defeat. , And, ac
cording to Ferrero. it was only by
accident that the . wealthy . classes
found in Sulla a leader whom) they
could and would follow, and be led
them to Intrenched power, v : .
, Modern society or Industry presents
no counterpart to the ' bid Roman
aristocracy, but If We art to dlf
ferentlate at all between what. are
our wealthy and" our-, working
classes, certainly in this country, at
least, we find no such ijeakliess as
this among the captains Of Industry
in Rome this indisposition to fol
low a selected leader. The jfacf is
quite - the contrary. This is an age
of organization end it works nowhere
bore fruitfully than among the big in
terests, established and controlled by
our wealthy' men, of course.
Sometimes it seems that labor has
much to learn in the way of organ
ization and co-operation from capi
tal. When the test comes, capital ,1s
seldom caught In the vortex of inter
nal t strife. It wastes , no 'time
haggling over who shall lead and
who follow. Th Sulla of the hour
Mi l quickly- chosen and implicitly
trusted. Vet among those who toil
we find various shades of organize
tion and unionism, eccentric circles
of discord that beget neither strength
nor profit for capital or labor .
Cbanceftor, Avery Is doubtless, pur
suing the proper course in publicly
denouncing the students, .responsible

ence certainly should convince the

creet censorship of the "Corahasker"
or any other publicity matter Issued
by ; the students. , nowever repre-
senslble this action , on the part of
the immature students, one finds it

A few years since a slender little man
with a -piercing eye and a quiet smile,
known th world over as a bridg builder
and an authority on tha chemical preser
vatlon of wood, was eagerly looking for
a nraencat gemus wno snouia invea
practicable flying machine.
He had himself done the theoretical
work. The calculations were made and
the' fundamental principles estabusbea.
the task needed the practical Instinct of
the designer and the long patience of the
experimenter to bring It to success. That
man was Octave Chanute of Chicago.
In the course of time h met two young
men who were th proprietors of a small
bicycle shop at Dayton, O. , H place!
his calculations at their disposal a favor
which he had extended to several othe
promising mechanics without result. It
was th bour of destiny. On th the
oretical: basis laid - by Chanute, OrvlH
and Wilbur Wright erected the first Sue
cesstul aeroplae and went on to com
plete conquest of the air.
Mr. : Chanute died recently In Paris.
after a long Illness, at a hospital whoa
garden was a favorite spot for circling
aeroplane whose riders desired to bono
the genius of the invalid whose ps'c
face lighted at their coming. Now Wil
bur Wright follows him In his forty-sixth
ysar. Th aeroplane, meanwhile,- has
become as much a part Of the modern
world as . the gas - balloon was of th
world of our fathers. It requires an ef
fort to realise how recent is the history
that produoed it how close we are still
