After all isi said .of the higher wages' and superior working' condi tions of the American railway em ploye as cbmpared with the . Euro pean,; tie difference stands-out as a distinct! tribute to greater '-'American efficiency. ' Efficiency In any line of business makes for better conditions and wages as well as profits on In vestment. Therefore,- It is entirely out of the question to argue the com parative merits of . American and Eu pean railway operation. '. . A few comparisons In wages here and abroad are of Interest as show ing the. great advantages our work men enjoy. 'For 1910,'for Instance, the average Majly compensation of air classes of American railway em ployes, according to the Bureau of Railway Economics, was $2.23; In the United Kingdom It was , f 1.05; excluding supplementary allowances negligibly affecting the average, it was in Prussia-Hesse 81 cents and In Austria 9 cents. The lowest paid em ploye on an American railway, ac cording tot the same authority the ordinary trackman receives ? more wages than many French railway em ployes of much higher grade and larger responsibilities. : A long list of similar comparisons would only emphasise what has been' said. Of i course, living conditions, which . are better Jn America, also cost more, and something must be allowed for that, but not enough,, surely, to take up the difference. American, labor of all classeSjla the most productive and the best paid in the world. This la the season of omens. The poll-' tlclans. Ured ot the strenuous expert encea . of the convention weeks, have fallen back on the study ot omens, which is not too exciting exercise for warm weather. Moat of the omen collec tors appear to be operating for Wilson. They have found out that candidates whose surname end with the syllable 'on" have generally been successful, and this discovery glvea them much comfort Inevitably, as Governor Wilson has been prealdsnt of well-known university, we are treated to as many essays on the scholar in politics" as If the title and subject had not become a little time-worn. In the matter of scholarship our pub lic men have always stood well in com parison with the statesmen of other na tions. Governor Wilson does not lower In Isolated grandeur because ot his learn ing, nor because of the high educational positions he has filled. Many of our presidents have received liberal educa tions, and several of them have been scholars in the wide sense of the word. These have not been pedants, but they have had at their command varied learn ing. Jefferson waa a man of many ac complishments; Madison waa a learned Hebraist; John Qulncy Adam seemed to take all knowledge for his field of re laxation. ' To the last of his Ufa ha de lighted In the classics;- Monroe possessed acquirements; Garfield was a student. No less than seventeen of our presidents re ceived the benefit of what we call "col lege education." The two presidents, however, whom all the world agrees were supremely great, Washington and Lincoln, never caw the interior of a col lege as students. Thty ware educated In the great university of the world. , Their early book learning oam from reading and re-reading the best English writers, not so much of their time as ot their fathers' time. Washington and Lincoln each formed a splendid English style, and Lincoln, In the Gettysburg address, rose to classic purity of diction. As for college presidents and college professors, John Qulncy Adams was pro fessor of rhetoric and belles lettres In Harvard, and the lectures he delivered In that capacity had a great vogue In their time. That was long before he waa presi dent, and he was appointed to the chair while he was still this side of fory. Among Garfield's honors may be "placed the prealdenoy of an institution which since his time has grown to collegiate dimensions. Whan Garfield took Its presl- I The offer, to (rabinlt to a recall prl mary is perfectly safe, since there is no provision In our -law for holding such a primary.

"If anything should happen to Mr Roosevelt this movement would be over." And that invincible wisdom came from none other than Ormsby McHarg. ? . , Nebraska's 1912 small grain crop may already be chalked down to the good, with King Corn looming up in the distance to make the aggregate a bumper. A Pay-ai-You-Enter Show. The most consistent thing the bull moose party has yet done, is to make Us forthcoming convention in Chi oago a pay-as-you-enter show, with prices. ranging from jio to 120 a seat. A party financed by sucTr im pecunlous millionaires as Perkins, Munsey and the McCormlcks must have some dependable means of rais- ng the money to pay ' the hall rent Besides, every ticket-holder may be sure of getting his money's worth But for the bull mooters,' what i tame affair the republican national convention at Chicago would have been.' .Theirs has been and will be a spectacular circus from the begin nlng. There can be no lull in the performance and the spectators will not" have their attention diverted by a multiplicity of acts, for this Is es sentially a one-man and a one-ring Institution. Pay yo'ur price and take your choice of seats, and do not waste pennies on peanuts, for there will be no elephant to feed. '. Our democratic friends have trou ble enough to look forward to In their own state convention circus without borrowing any from the republican end of tho tent. ' "Down with the trusts," shout Messrs. Perkins, Munsey, Funk,f Mc Cormick of the Steel and Harvester trusts. -' Of course, they mean down with the bad trusts.

The same' thing is true of all strangers visiting Omaha, only they do cot all have the same means of spreading the good gospel as do the editors. dency Hiram college was Hiram Institute. He brought to his labors so much en thusiasm, to much scholarship, that he gave to Hiram a power of attraction the older institutions in Ohio soon sensed. Hiram was sometimes called In those days "college" and aomethnes "institute." but it Is now and has been for more than forty years, a full-fledged college among the Institutions that are not great In attendance but are respectable in standing. President Garfield, as he was than called, had to much Influence with the young men of Hiram- in 1S61- that a considerable contingent of the Forty-second Ohio . regiment was made up of Hiram-students, who followed "him into the army. His career was typified by the expression !'sword and gown," for he was alike soldier and Instructor, and he taught In the spirit expressed' In his famous tribute to Mark Hopkins to the effect that, given a log cabin with a student at - one end of the bench, and Mark Hopkins on the other, and there you had a university.- The "college president" and "the college professor" precedents are not evclueively Wilson campaign assets. Going below the presidential rank In search of scholarship In our public men and politicians, the fair minded-seeker for Information will be Impressed with the truth that Whatever else have been the shortcoming of our political leaders, they have not lacked for liberal knowl edeg.e This lias often been found in men whom the general public do. not plape in the category 'bf scholars. Quay, for In stance, had not only th ordinary liberal education,, but " had pushed his learning Into fields generally neglected by men who are, ' havertheleas, entitled . to be called students. The late Senator Davis of Minnesota read Juvenal, the most vig orous of the 'Roman satirists, in the or. iglnlal, at .moments when .the senate de bates became dull.. Many other scholars might be named In running ever the list of American political celebrities.. The scholarship of some ele vated the entire tone of their careers. With others', as with Wflliam L. Marcy, who delighted Jn Plato, it was a thing apart,. Ke was spoilsman St one hour, and student at another. . The nobler scholar ship Is that which refines men until they are above the sordid influence of spoil Ism. .

CONSERVIN& THE FLOOD WATERS - Project to Make Spring iTesheti Servideable." ' ; . . Baltimore American, ; - . w..- No form of conservation enterpriie Is of mors Interest, wider Importance or is less popularly understood than that ot conserving the floods. The progress of the age, has. gone far. beyond the point at which the recurrence, of floods in one or another region of the country need be looked upon as Inevitable. That the mighty overflow that carry millions of tons ot silt ;down the Mississippi te the gulf could, be harnessed to good stead, that the tremendous loss of fertile soil could be saved, that the portlpns of ; the Mississippi .valley that are brought ,un- der- tribute by the raging overflows of the river shd Its tributaries could be wonderfully advanced In value, Is all In dication of theH vast Importance of the conservation of floods.-. - ; Let "the floods of the Missouri be dis tributed over the dry bench lands. Let Kweea b built from Cairo to the gulf. Millions ot Missouri lands would thereby be cohverwd Into hay atfetchts that are now given over to pasturage. Reservoirs built to supplement the summer flow would provide ample water to turn upon the parched soil all along the line of the Improvements, floods would be kept low by the utilisation of the source supplies for Irrigation and the hundreds of mil lions of damage wrought from thia cause would be saved. It is unscientific to ex pend millions for the safety of certain spots along the course of the Mississippi and its tributaries and not to pay atten tion to the tremendous loss of water and great possibilities for damage found In the condition of the , rivers at their sources. The vast Increase of food-pro-ducting reglone from the converting of the flooded multi-million gores Into the very best loam soils cannot be overesti mated. Here Is a source of conservation and of Intensive cultivation that -would go far toward diminishing the high cost of living.

In addition to this is to be considered the provision of Water supplies for' towns and cities supplies that could be carried to the ': mote points at a low cost, jfence the Initial work of providing the reservoirs made necessary for conserving the floods had been done.
