A Doubtful Compliment.
The special-decree addition of four
women members to the ner party
national committee strikes us as a
decidedly doubtful compliment to the
sex, and directly in conflict with their
demand for political equality. If
California, or Colorado, or Wyoming,
or some other suffrage state, had
named a woman as its representative
on the commitee, tne woman member
would have bad a coutltuency and
occupied a consistent position of
equality with the other members
As it is, however, the women have
been denied political equality, while
accbrded a special privilege, and the
purpose behind fche move is so trans
parent that it should not deceive any
Intelligent person, man or woman.'
. The object is undisguised to throw
this sop to the women as a bait for
their votes and Influence. The. only
wonder is that -" four members-at-
large were not added to the commit
tee for the labor unions, for the
church-goers, or for the base ball
fans. , TKe territories, the District of
Columbia and the insular possessions
were denied delegates in the conven
tion or voice In the party manage
ment on the excuse that their inhabi
tants contribute no electoral votes,
although by moving Into a state and
possessing the other requisite quali
fications they can acquire, voting cltl-
senshlp, and yet special dispensation
is made for women In anticipation of
votes they hope to have in the future.
The able women who have led the
suffrage movement in this country
have always protested against any
treatment that makes women either
Inferiors requiring special protection
or a separate class enjoying favors
instead of exercising rights.
Community Dwelling. '
The large number of apartment
bouses and family hotels in course of
construction In Omaha reflect the
trend toward community dwelling,
most pronounced in larger and older
cities. It is not necessary to delve
into the reasons which lead so many
families to prefer' living that way.
It is worth noting, however, that what
only a few years ago seemed to most
people to be the idea of an Ideal city
a city of detached houses, each
surrounded with - Its . own plot ', of
ground no longer prevails. It was
thought that this ideal community
of one family to a house, and one
house to a yard, was possible In a
place like Omaha, starting out with
wide streets, spacious building lots
and unlimited growing room.; put
Omaha Is fast treading the path of
other progressive cities, and while
home' ownership is still within easy
reach of any ambitious and industri
ous mechanic or laborer, the com
munity dwellings are here to meet a
real demand, and a demand that is
sure to increased 1 1 ;
What is a Billion Dollars t .
According to common belief John
D. Rockefeller Is worth 11,000,000,.
000. This Is doubtless greatly, ex
aggerated, but what would that moan
to the ordinary individual, except
that the possessor would have many
times more millions than he has any
use for or could ever hope to use; bo
much richer than the CroeBus of old
as to make him seem an Impecunious
beggar by comparison.
No one can possibly comprehend
the meaning of a billion dollars; not
even Mr. Rockefeller himself. Ex
perts in the national treasury at
Washington are supposed to count
4,000 silver dollars an hour, 32,000
for a day of eight hours' work. In
thirty-one days and two hours they
could count, up to $1,000,000. If an
expert kept up that pace for ten years
ho ould have counted only $100,.
000,000,' approximately, To count
$1,000,000,000 It would take one
man at the rate of eight hours a day
102 years, putting in every work day.
; Ships and Tolls. .
Under the Canal government bill
as It passed the senate three vital
points are made clear, even If not
settled ' permanently. -' American
coastwise vessels may. pass through
the canal free of toll;' American for
eign' trade vessels may pass through
free if their owners -wllKtirst agree
to sell the ships at reasonable, prices
to the United States in timer of war
or great emergency; railroad-owned
ships are barred entirely. ' v
Even in the United States opinion
Is still divided as to the final wisdom
of these plans, and it is possible they
may not be final short of a decision
by The Hague tribunal. For that
reascn . it seems unnecessary for
Britain to' work herself into such a
pitch Of Indignation over the action
of congress. . Great Britain disputes
our right under the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty to do any of these things and
says that if that policy Is adopted
foreign ships will continue to use the
old routes in preference to Panama.
They doubtless will If they find the
old routes more , prof Itable and not
otherwise. But as for the treaty,
most of our own statesmen believe
we have not violated our obligations.
It may be for The Hague to deter
mine' whether we have.
England Is especially exercised
over the exclusion of Canadian ships,
most of which are railroad-owned,
and the ; admission ot our non-rallroad-owned
; vessels free of , toll.
Thus far . no other means have ap
peared available for preventing rail
roads from monopolising traffic. , As
for our admission of our own vessels
free, the canal is ours, built by us on
American territory, and with the
light we now have we seem to be pro
posing only what England or any
other nation would do under' similar
circumstances.
American Energy.
One of our greatest national assets
is energy. American energy it In
dom liable. It essays and succeeds
in tasks the most gigantic. We have
the heart to undertake most any
thing that is worth while and the
spirit that defies defeat.
: But as Americana it behooves us
to go a little Blow in vaunting this
distinction of energy, for our histor
ies tell us that it is one of the pio
neers of our land. It 'was energy
that finally Impelled' the Pilgrims to
come to this strange land In quest,
not of power or wealth or territorial
aggression, but simply to find a place
of civil, and religious liberty. And
during the last century some 30,000,
000 people have come trooping to
our shores from many foreign lands.
They, too, most of them, came be
cause they were so energetic they
could no longer content themselves
with conditions In their , homeland.
They 'felt the need for Improvement,
saw the possibility of It and migrated
to the country where they believed
they could get it. '
All this required energy of the
finest type. It takes energy for a
man and woman to turn their backs
upon home and native land and fam
ily and friends and all that these
precious associations mean to them,
and go thousands of miles beyond the
seas to new and strange lands. In
deed, each year they come, ' these
aliens, to infuse new energy into our
American lives. So we have in this
country a combination of selected
energy, so to speak, ; the . best im
pulses from all lands, and that surely
gives us the indomitable sort. But
we must always be generous enough
to allow for the help we have re
ceived..
Children Do Hot Sear Themselves.
One often hears it told that the
child reared with least restraint is
best reared. It is an old principle,
only a counterpart of the theory that
the government is best that governs
least. Parents have to practice that
principle, however, with a . delicate
discrimination or they may miss the
whole point and absolutely, cheat
themselyes and their children of re
sults. " ' ' ' .
Children, after all, do not and can
not rear themselves. They are not
able always to differentiate between
what they want and what they need,
so that it is unsafe to leave them to
decide. A certain degree of restraint
Is always necessary. It is well
enough for an easy-going parent to
comfort himself or herself with the
habit of letting the child take care
f Itself, but the price of unwar
ranted liberty must be ultimately
paid, most probably by the child, the
unfortunate victim of an over-Indulgent
parent. ,
Proper parental control at the
right time will do a. lot to minimize
the necessity of outside interference
of - public Institutions for juvenile
correction.' ; .
Inferior Eubber,
In spite of all the lurid tales of
stock promoters about the fabulous
discoveries of new raw rubber, no
one has ever heard of rubber prices
going down. The fact Is they have
steadily risen and at the same time
the quality, of rubber has deterior
ated. This is appreciated by 'every
person who buys and uses rubber.
All the tricks of the rubber trade are
not confined to the atrocities prac
ticed by avaricious masters upon the
serfs that gather the plant.'; The
visitor to some of the rubber
factories will readily admit that
when he sees the immense piles of
old rubbish, pieces of hose and other
scraps, that go into the manufacture
of the new article of commerce.
With these facts well Impressed,
the public will continue to await with
Interest the developmeent of the Brit
ish chemists' plan of producing syn
thetic rubber, which they contend
can be made just as satisfactory for
all' practical purposes as the "real"
article, v The experts making this ex
periment say the artificial product
can be successfully produced for 24
cents a pound. With what Is palmed
off for natural rubber selling never
lower than 62 cents a pound, this
would certainly be tempting to the
consumer. But it has proved so easy
to stretch facts with reference to
rubber that the public Is a little
skeptical on every phase of the sub
ject. . .
' Lean and Fat Years.
One of the Kansas college agricul
turists is making an effort to get
farmers in- the western portion ot
that state to sow fewer acres to
wheat this coming season and devote
more attention to intensive culture
to Increase the yield. He says If this
Is done systematically, thus encourag
ing Industry, It will have the ultimate
effect of stemming receding tides ot
farming population,' which the census
flgurec show carried a good many
people out of several Kansas counties.
People flock in during the fat years
and out in the lean. His proposition
is to adopt such farming methods at
will minimize the results of a lean
year and hold the farmer on his farm.
If sound, the same advice Is
equally - good for farmed in the
newer counties in Nebraska, where
similar conditions obtain. vThis can
be done by more attention to forage
crops and live stock, as well as sci
entific cultivation of the soil and se
lection of the seed for raising wheat.
No farmer should neglect hlr live
stock, for it will often save the day
when nothing else will. ( A careful
observer said that in' traveling west
through New York he could measure
the deterioration of farms by the
diminishing herds of cattle, while in
Canada all the farms seemed to be
in a prosperous condition and all
were well stocked with cattle, hogs,
sheep and horses.
Improved methods of farming
should make the difference between
the lean and the fat years less and
less appreciable.
First in Talk.
We, Americans are the
greatest
talkers in the world. . .
It might be hard to demonstrate
that fact beyond the reasonableness
of a doubt so far as ordinary conver
sation i .concerned, but when meas
ured In talk over the telephone our
primacy is undisputed and indisput
able. ' "-!..'.
Statistics carefully compiled for
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company, based on actual fig
ures of the number of Instruments
and wire mileage in use in all quar
ters of the globe and other exchange
data, warrant an estimate of 22,000
million talks transmitted by tele
phone in the year 1911, of which
14,500 million were within the bor
ders of. the United States. Of every
100 telephone talks we Americans
perpetrate sixty-six, so that the com
bined number for all the rest of the
World is but one-half of ours. I
v Our facility for talking is also
llustrated by the relative use - we
make ot the telephone as compared
with the telegraph and letter mail.
Taking only Europe and the" United
States, European letter talks in 1909
were three tiroes those over the wire,
while in this country the telephone
messages were half again as many
as those that went by mail.
All this may be partly due to the
greater perfection and development
of the telephone In our country, or
rather to the combination in larger
degree of all the elements that make
the telephone popular, but no one,
We "believer will deny that it amply
supports the claim that we Ameri
cans are the greatest talkers in the
world.
Immigration and Emigration.
If aliens coming to our shores
were - better distributed over ' the
country and not congested in the
thickly, populated centers,' such a
thing as l an Immigration problem
would.' speedily disappear from our
minds.' For, as a matter of fact, this
so-called ' stream of aliens . Is not
steadily on the Increase. Official
figures on the influx and efflux up
to June 30 show av decided falling
off in net gain of foreign population
as compared with former periods. For
a Period of ten months ending with
April the net arrivals of unmarried
Italians were only 24,817, as com
pared 'with 95,995 Inthe previous
twelve months and 167,492 in 1909
10. v A diminished movement also is
reported for the last year from Scan
dinavia, Greece, Holland and the
United Kingdom. For the. first six
months of this calendar year a total
of 247,046 aliens emigrated from our
shores. , ; ... ,
These figures, no matter .how
deeply gone into, reveal no Justifica
tion for alarm about excessive im
migration, or for the many political
schemes of more rigid restriction.
Two facts stand out In front of all
social prejudice or political .bun
combe, first, that thlB country, still
needs the able-bodied alien, and sec
ond, that it is not being overrun by
newcomers. If they contribute to
congested centers of population, it Is
our fault more than theirs that they
do not seek the sections that need
them.
The Outlook announces that in its
future issues It will regard the Chi
cago republican convention as past
history and will direct the attention
of its readers to the real issue before
the country. ..That must mean that
the "fraud" cry has either petered
out or served the purpose of Its In
ventors. ,

How Facta Refute Assertions of Ball
. Mooseri.
New York Post
Rival committees, one for Taft and
one for Roosevelt, have put out long
statements about the rljrhta and wrongs
ot the republican 1 contests at Chicago.
This conflict being what It is. there is
the more reason tor giving heed to such
an impartial examination of the evi
dence as has"beon made' by" Senator La
Follette'a former law partner, Gil
bert E. Roe. He publishes his conclu
sions In the last number of La Follette's
Weekly After passing In review case
after case, with th allegations made on
either side, he sums up by saying that
Roosevelt never had a chance of getting
an honest majority In the Chicago con
vention. Hit "nomination was impossi
ble even it every delegate to which he
had any shadow of claim, or which
could he regarded as doubtful, were
counted for him." "At the worst," de
clares Mr. Roc, "the national convention
seated less than fifty Taft delegates on
insufficient evidence. Those in charge
of the Roosevelt campaign trie to teat
more than 130 delegates without any
evidence at all." To this comet down
the loud assertion of "naked theft." Mr.
Roe ends Ms study of the whole matter
with these words:
"If the command 'Thou shait hot steal'
It to have a place In the platform ot the
new party, I suggest that th promise
'We will not steal' be coupled with It.
The promise would certainly be as ap
propriate a the command and would be
more reassuring to the country.
