i
The Boundless West.
Ever since the American colonies
were first planted "the boundless
west" has been a phrase to conjure
with, a beckoning hand and a beacon
of hope to men and women ambitious
to better their condition. :
The geographical location of "the
boundless west" has changed from
time to time, steadily receding In the
direction of the setting sun until it
embraced the coast line of the Pa
cific ocean. The west, however, is
still definable as that part of our
country stretching back" from the
Mississippi valley, and although it
has come to contain nearly a third
of our population, it is yet full of
boundless opportunities for the for
tune builder who knows how to util
ize; Its magnificent resources.
The development of this great
country has gone on , steadily, al
though not always at a steady pace.
The apparent slowing up of the last
year or so has appeared 'to those
most observing and conversant with
it as a husbanding or gathering up
of strength for another great for
ward movement . toward which the
logic of events is plainly pointing.
The west is getting ready for the im
petus the fast approaching comple
tion of the Panama canal is sure to
give. ' "The boundlees west" will
hold a more important place in the
attention of the world in the years
to come than ever before. ; .
' Convention' Contrast.
What makes a big political conven
tion interesting and exciting is
healthy competition of aspiring can
didates and uncertainty as to the
outcome; The republican convention
at Chicago and' the democratic con-'
ventjon at Baltimore both . revealed
tnese human interest elements, and
not only were the doors of the conven
tion halls daily beset with thousands
clamoTlng for admission, but ; the
whole country looked on with bated
breath,' scanning bulletin boards and
reading newspaper accounts to keep
in touch with every stage of the pro
ceedings, ; : " . ' 11 -.-
By contrast the coming third party
convention at Chicago must be tame
and uninteresting, for it can have
only one; candidate to consider, apd
the outcome cannot be doubtful in
the slighest. If it goes through the
usual motions that characterize con
ventions, it will be as if putting on
the boards a well rehearsed play with
lines prepared in advance and as
signed to selected actors. Because
ft is Impossible to stampede a one
man convention, the demonstrations,
no batter how. Well' worked 1 up or
how well staged, will lack a climax.
By coptrast.it : must suffer in in
terest thrilling beside the two big
political "gatherings already tassed
into the history of 1912. ' f-ViV.-jJ',
: Get' After the CanwrristsfHere: :J
Now ; thaf Italian ; courts ; have
finally dealt a severe blow , to the
fjamorro in Italy, 'it would be wise
for American police officers to re
double their eforts toward a general
clean-up of this element that has
found' its way to" the' tJnited States.
For a time the black-hander and
other murderous blackmailers perpe
trated their, crimes in this country
with appalling regularity and com
parative impunity. ' It was- not be
cause of official ' indifference, so
much as the inability to apprehend
the culprits Italy persisted for years
In, its attempts to ferret out these
midnight assassins, but the' result of
the Camorrists' trial, lasting as it
did for two years, is Italy's reward
and proof that effective headway has
been made toward getting rid of a
band of Insidious outlaws Undoubt
edly the fate of the Camorrists' in
Italy will do much' to discourage
their followers everywhere and put
an end' to their terrorizing tactics.
Industrial Education for Negroes.
Booker T . Washington's idea of in
dustrial education tor his race is
cominf more to .the front every year
among both white and colored people,
who are giving serious attention to
the future of the negro. The idea
received endorsement ' during ; the
week by the Negro National Educa-
tlonal congress, '" whose Influence
should count for much.' -
It may seem strange .that . Dr.
Washington's plan did not meet with
immediate' approval even, among
negroes, but it has proved itself In
such fruitful results as no longer to
beg for' endorsement. Tuakegee
Institute today, Is an aphorism.. It
is by no means alone in the kind of
work it is doing. Many , self-help
and industrial schools among the
black race are " now ! accomplishing
excellent results and much money is
being devoted to this purpose, , (
; Not so long ago a colored woman
dying in Brooklyn left an estate of
165,000, of which $26,500 went to
benevolent and industrial education
for the negro, Hampton and Tuske
gee each receiving $10,000. Dur
ing 19li the Negro Baptists of Ala
bama raised more than $23,000 for
their university at 8elma, Ala. - Al
together the' fitro Baptists of that
state raised $30,000 for their schools.
From twenty colored conferences of
the Methodist Episcopal church, ac
cording to, the Negro '.Year Book,
$26,000 was raised for the support
of the Freedman's Aid board.
Most of these negro schools are de
voting special attention to industrial
education, the negro's natural bent
for agriculture and the trades hav
ing been recognized. It is com
mendable that this race has turned
its attention to the work of prepar
ing Itself for real, definite occupa
tions, without regard to whether they
are easy or not, no longer willing to
pursue life in a haphazard way, tak
ing whatever may befall.
The Beef Shortage.
During the first six months of
1912 the total cattle receipts at the
six principal live, stock markets
showed a decline of 410,000 head as
compared with the same period in
1911. The feeding lots in the coun
try contiguous to Omaha have fewer
cattle in them than they have had
since they were established, and it' is
said that the receipts of western
range cattle this year at Omaha will
be less than for many yvs.
These facts are full of significance.
We are eating up our young beef
faster than our rangers can inaki
them into finished 1 products. This
will lead to just one end an impov
erished supply, and that will mean
for the future, what it means for
the very present, cost of living is not
beyond the comprehension of any
thcughful person. ' Here, then, is a
liOtent factor in the genoral problem
of the living cost. Our people de
mand the best beef,: the young beef,
and are not satisfied with the older.
We cannot eat our egg and' save it
at the same time. . ,
, But why,, it Is asked, are not the
ranges keeping pace; with , the de
mand for beef? Largely because of
nature's own deliberate laws. '. Cattle
Is not produced iii litters, as is swine,
ind one head .of cattle cauno: be
made into a finished beef is even
twelve months. We are, not giving
our cattle raisers the time for their
work, which nature meant they
should have. But if that does not
answer the question, then let us re
member, as The Bee has said before,
that the steady division and sub
division of the great ranges, tho in
flux of homesteaders,, the fencing off
of water courses, the conversion of
tanges into farms all these succes
sive' steps have served to diminish
the area of land available for cattle
raising in the great west. While
this has gone on, land in older states
has appreciated in value to an extent
that' makes live stock less attractive
than other pursuits. When beef
brings $9.50 on foot, as it has Just
done in Omaha, sensible people must
think this subject over very care
fully. ' '
City Boy in the Country.
City boys ought to be allowed to
spend part of their vacation in the
country. All boys need the closer
contact with nature which this af
fords. Xs Many lads grow to manhood
utterly ignorant, except in the moat
academic sense, of things that should
form a Vital part of their first-band
information, things they can get no
where except in the country.
This appeal seems especially
strong in this diy when young men
from the city are generally remain
ing there and those in the country
are drifting to the city, It Is possi
ble the current : might be changed
somewhat easier if. boys were im
bued In their boyhood with, a fond
ness for rural life. But this Is the
economic side of it; the' moral as
pect, which le really the immediate
one, is equally as worthy of consid
eration. China in Dead Earnest.
China is determined to have a real
republic Tt proves Its good ' faith
by, coming to the greatest of repub
lics for 'its experts In Counsel and
service. It has made several calls
for American advisers. Some, of the
native leaders of he revolution now
holding high office in the new re
public, were, themselves, the prod
uct of American education and
thought, sent here by Chinese in
fluence for instruction in our higher
institutions of learning. The ex
perience proved a powerful impetus
for democracy in the orient. It
acted as a leaven working from
within to burst the bands of ancient
reactionaryism and China saw the
point. ,,. .'
China's latest appeal is for Prof.
Jeremiah Jenks of Cornell university
to take the post of financial adviser
to the new government. Other ex
pert advisers, reports state, are also
to be chosen. What a momentous
part Americans are eventually to
play in transforming the oldest of
monarchies into a near-democracy
Is rich food for contemplation. It
offers us one of the greatest out
reaches for Influence.
' Science Halts Disease.
Bubonic plague and other noxious
maladies will never have the terror
for this country they had before we
learned so much about scientific
sanitation and applied it upon our
selves and our Insular possessions.
Bubonic plague recently caused a
few deaths in Porto Rico, but was
soon arrested (and kept from spread
ing :to our contiguous territory.
Reports that this or kindred Astatic
diseases have dropped their deadly
germs at our door in New York' or
New Orleans or San Francisco oc
casion little alarm now, not much
more than would a report of yellow
fever in some southern city. , For
we know that the conditions upon
which these germs thrived, while
not absolutely destroyed, are so
largely done away with as to reduce
the peril of epidemic to a negligible
basis.
A veritable crusade of sanitation
has been going on both in our own
states and the islands for years and
this enlarged measure of safety and
fortification is the fruitage of it.
Our government readily saw, fn fac
ing its stern duties in Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippines and Panama,
that one of its most important tasks
was to clean up t'hese places. Our
soldiers of war enlisted in the cam
paign against filth. and today some
of these cities, notably Havana, are,
in some respects, models of ' cleanli
ness. - By one stroke the ; United
States taught its dependents the les
son of cleanly living and threw about
Its own people a measure of physical
protection defined only in terms of
human life.' v' : ri
. .. Tip to Eeal Estate Men.
Real estate men should always be
boosters. They should boost every
part of their city alike, not merely
the parts where their private inter
ests happen to be located.1 If a cus
tomer asks about property in a cer
tain section, of the city, It is quite
short-sighted to say . the least for
the agent ' to knock that section
merely because he has property else
where that he, would like to sell. He
may some day have property in the
section he discredits and then - he
would have to overcome the derog
atory impressions he had helDed to
cVeate, But though his competitor
has property theqe and he has none,
it is a part of his own city and he
should not' knock it for his city's
sake. .
It is not necessary to run down
one part of the town to boost another
part. There is distinct advantage to
somebody in residing or owning prop
erty in every section of Omaha as
of every city. The modest wage
earner and the wealthy capitalist are
not expected to pick out the same
neighborhood for their homes for
obvious economic reasons. Yet that
in which the modest wage-earner
casts ' his lot may i be Just ; as
healthful, Just as wholesome as that
in which the capitalist resides, and
each is adapted to its respective oc
cupant. It is folly to , draw imagi
nary lines between desirable sections
in a rapidly growing city like Omaha,
made up of elements that fit into
each other, one as important as the
other. On the contrary it does a city
Immense harm for those inviting
permanent investments to disparage
one part for the advantage of another.
Jury Service,
Serious-minded men generally ad
mit that Jury service is oe of their
responsibilities as citizens, yet serious-minded
men also deliberately
shirk the duty whenever they can.
And no wonder, for not only is our
Jury system, Itself, radically defec
tive, but it is surrounded with a con
fusion of obsolete customs that are
positively out of all keeping with
the honor and dignity supposed to
attach to the functions of the office.
Jurors are regularly 1 treated with
less consideration : Jay subordinate
officials than the ordinary business
intercourse accords. It is no won
der the average man will go the
length to avoid serving on a jury.
The "Spectator", In the Outlook.
after an experience of this sort, de
scribes his feelings thus: "Mingle
a sense of wasted time, wounded dig
nity, physical t'iscomfort and general
vexation and you have the explosive
mixture crowding hla usually placid
bosom." After, recounting a list of
inconveniences . and discomforts to
which men called for the Jury are
subjected, he cites the fact that in
New . York, perhaps, .more than half
the citizenship is exempt from jury
demands, which leaves' the other
half to render double service under
conditions medieval in most respects.
Why it is thought necessary to
subject Jury service to such iudignity
and to hold on to customs handed
down by an entirely obsolete day one
cannot understand. Strange that in
all our penchant for reforms we are
not giving more of our time to those
needed In this direction.
A man blind from birth, whose
weekly income never exceeded $5,
has died in England, leaving an es
tate of $5,000. Presumably he could
not see how to spend it all. ,

I know no sin except the lack of love,
I recognize the victory in defeat;
No gulf divides life here from life above,
. I spell perfection in the incomplete.
A foe to dogma,' still I hold a creed.

That sharing bread and wine with men
who need . '
