Prosperity Talks L
Sifted down in the hardpan of
common sense, the issues of the pres
idential campaign resolve themselves
into this one question, Do the people
want a change in the administration
of national affairs? If you are sat
isfied that the country has grown
and prospered under republican poli
cies, and the stewardship of President
Taft, you should re-elect him. To
prefer either of. his competitors
means taking a chance on the results
of reversal of these policies and re
newal cf experiments that have
proved only disastrous in the oast.
In a series of brief prosperity talks
The JBee will call your attention to
some facts that should be considered
carefully before voting for a change.
The examples we shall cite will be
familiar ones, right close at home.
Let us begin with the postof flee.

We ask you to note the difference.
Note the almost 60 per cent Increase
in postal business in Omaha in this
four-year period, uf course, Presi
dent Taft, and the republican admin
istration, did not do it all by them
selves, but they . unquestionably
helped, and there were no setbacks
chargeable to them. '
If this exhibit of postoffice receipts
means that you have been living bet
ter, doing better business and im
proving your lot generally since
President Taft has been in the White
House, you can reasonably expect to
continue the same forward movement
by keeping him there.
terest enemies so long before. Sight
to the masses, flight to the truth,
was the thing the tories feared. That
is why the fathers ingrafted free
speech and free press into the consti
tution, because they knew they were
the greatest bulwarks to liberty and
progress.
, Intemperance of Speech.
Intemperate use of Intoxicating
liquors is not the only injurious form
of intemperance. Intemperance
means lack of moderation in the ex
ercise of faculties, or indulgence of
appetites and passions. Intemper
ance in eating, intemperance in exer
cise; intemperance in work, are all
harmful in their relative degrees. So.
too, intemperance of speech Indicates,
not strength, but weakness of char
acter not power, but want of self
control. Loud noise la not neces
sarily sound argument. The calling
of names or hurling of epithets
proves nothing except the bad tem
per and poor judgment of the perpe
trator. It does not appeal to intelli
gence, but U presumes upon ig
norance. Intemperance of ' speech
may amuse and entertain, but it does
not instruct. The redeeming feature
of intemperate speech Is that, boomerang-like,
it comes back to its start
ing point and is self-destructive.
widely disseminated view that we are
indiscriminate, in our admission, of
worthless immigrants. It refutes
the charge that the government gluts
its population by freely importing
Impoverished people from' abroad.
And if it is argued that 1 40 is not a
large sum for a man coming to a new
land to have, it may be explained
that that represents per capita, com
prising every man, woman and child,
that for a family of five it foots up
$200. . ,

Bomestlo Science in the Home.
Chicago Womanis club women are
organizing for a systematic war on
waste in the kitchens, a sort of cam
paign of education of housewives in
domestic science. Now , if they can
ust get in touch with the housewives
who actually run the kitchens, per
haps they can reach some practical
results. ' If they articulate the homes
with the clubs and get the co-opera
tion of the wife and mother, who, in
addition to her other numerous
household duties, does her own buy
ing and cooking, they ought to ac
complish much good,
Thus far one of the obstacles to
the success of these reform move
ments has been either their inadapta
bility to practical usage or the utter
failure to get them before the aver
age woman in the average home.
That was chiefly due to the fact that
there never has been much connec
tlon between the sources of these
highly commendable schemes and the
homes most needing them, between
the well-intentioned club women, In
fact, and their prosaic sisters at
home. ' ' v
No one now questions the need and
opportunity tor practical , conserv
tlon in the kitchen. The only prob-
em Is how best to practice it. Nearly
every, family wastes something and
all would welcome a way of cutting
off waste and cutting down expenses.
If the good club women have Clscov
ered that way and can give it to us
they will be doing something very
valuable to the rest of society.
From the Standpoint of Art.
We do not believe we have given
our Ak-Sar-Ben pageantry its true
value from the standpoint of art The
artistic and asthetle side, it seems to
ns, has been impressed more forcibly
this year than ever before, due per
haps to the theme and subjects se
lected for the electric floats. Instead
of trying to portray an event of his
tory, or tell a story, or make a song
visible to the eye, the simple beau
ties of nature, the , gems and the
flowers, were wrought into' allegor
ical portraits, enhanced by the won
ders of electrical Incandescence, and
with nothing to divert attention, .be
wilder the mind or cloud the vision
from the main object as a thing of
beauty. This thought is again car
ried into the elaborate spectacle at
tending the crowning of the king and
the presentation of the queen, in
which the historical background is
really but a setting to a work of art
composed of human figures, The
Ak-Sar-Ben pageant and ball are as
worthy to be characterized an expo
sition of art as is an exhibit of mas
ter canvases, of soul-stirring sculp
ture or of stately architecture. Fleet
ing as they are, their educating in
fluence for asthetic culture must be
Incalculable. - ,
The Newly Discovered Eace. .
Americans have a way of laughing
at most serious things. They have
greeted Prof. Stefannson's discov
eries of a new race of people in the
Arctics with little more than , de
rision. Humorists hit -upon the
thrilling revelation with as much
avidity as if it had been a ludicrous
pun. Thus far. the deeply earnest
explorer, who, no doubt, endured
much hardship in his discoveries, has
excited little else than merriment. ,
As a matter of fact, while Stefann
son's reports are not conclusive, they
command attention and offer suffi
cient basis to warrant further inves
tigation as a means of determining,
if possible, the origin and history of
the strange , tribe of Eskimos he
found in northeastern Alaska on the
edge of the Arctic , regions. He
leaves the matter largely in the field
of conjecture, but it surely will not
remain there ' long, Ethnologists
will not rest content until they have
developed .Stefannson's achievement
and brought to light the whole ac
cessible truth about, ancestry and
habits of these strange people. Its
exploitation would seem to be much
more inviting than a North Pole ex
pedition, r
Free Preai and Free Schooli. t
The old-fashioned debating society
survives in some sections of our coun
try, and in one, at least, that time-
honored question, "Resolved, That
the printing press is a more potent
factor in civilization than war," or,
in other words, "The Pen is Mightier
Than the Sword." Is still being
threshed over. One master of foren
slcs, taking the side of the press, rises
to declaim that had his worthy oppo
nent contended tor war as the more
potent in the early periods of Amer
lean history he would -have agreed
with htm, but to say that, in this era
of peace, the noxious god of war
were more puissant than the peaceful
power of, the press were mere flap
doodle, or words to that effect
Going back into those "early peri
ods of American history," one finds
Lord Berkeley, set over Virginia as
Its governor by Charles I, writing:
I thank God there are no free schools
nor printing In Virginia and I hope we
shall cot have them these hundred
years, for' learning ha brought herey
and difobedlence and sects into the
world, and printing has divulged them
and libels acsinst the best government
God keep u front both!
. And when Lord Howard of Effing'
ham came to succeed the profligate
Governor Culpepper In 1682 he was
admonished "not to allow a printing
press to be set up in Virginia," show
ing the king's desire to heed Berke
ley's warning and wisdom. The men
who wrote our constitution a century
later had no higher appreciation ot
the power of these two vital factors
In popular education than their bit
Leaden for Cuban Negroes.
Booker T. Washington says race
friction in Cuba is due to the lack of
leaders among - the negroes, black
men who can guide their own people
tor the best In this connection he
makes an interesting comparison be
tween the Cuban and American ne
groes. The latter, on the whole, live
peaceably and are easily governed,
not entirely because they have not
been provoked to disorder, for, as he
shows, they have had a good deal to
contend with; but because they have
had leaders .among themselves with
commanding influence. Early in
the life ot the American slave, Dr.
Washington says, there were enough
wise and self-sacrificing white men
to train negro leaders, who in turn
trained others, and so on, spreading
the leaven of peaceful Uvea, ot thrift
and decency, until, as a race, the
American negro gives his jsovern-
ment no; trouble whatever.
But the Cuban negro has not had
such advantages. Until the island
came under American protection no
one there cared for the fate ot the
colored man, and he was unable to
do for himself what ought to have
been done for him. The result is, as
we see at every recurring election
and intervals between, no majority
leader goes into office with the har
monious backing of the defeated mi
nority. Yet Cuba has only 600,000
negroes, as compared with 10,000,-
000 In the United States. Of course,
the white population of Cuba is only
about 1,000,000, making its colored
element larger, in proportion than
ours, but no greater proportionately
than in our southern states, where
most ot. our. negroes reside. Thus
we see the potency ot Dr. Washing
ton's arxument and the worn our
government has ahead of it in Cuba.
Immigrants and Their luggage.
On an average every European
immigrant in the last year brought
to this country $38 In cash and
those comi&g In the last two months
brought $40 apiece. In fourteen
months 1.114.J89 brought $4(,712,-
697. These art , official figures.
They tend to belie the expressed
tears - of overrunning the country
with paupers from abroad. They put
a very Interesting aspect upon the
subject of immigration to those con
cerned in studying it. They suggest
something of the progressive policy
maintained by this government1 in
admitting foreign-born peoples to
our shores. Of course, not all this
$47,000,000 came to stay. Some of
it went back with those who came
over only temporarily, but the most
of it snd much more in consequence
of it is added to our aggregate of
wealth.
This is not to be held up as the
final argument for immigration, hut
it is an argument against the idly and
. State Eailway Regulation.
Stat regulation of railroads con
tinues to be popular, judging from
the legislation proposed and enacted
this year. In twelve states 292 bills
were introduced affecting the state's
control cf railroads and forty eight cf
the measures became law, making
just four to a state. .The fact that
only one-sixth of the proposed meas
ures were enacted may offer conso
lation for both the railroads and the
people. "Nevertheless it is notable
that though public clamor has died
down to an extent, railroads are not
entirely forgotten by state legisla
tures, v" ' ''. V ...-V.
The record shows that- five blls
were introduced in four different
states providing for compulsory arbi
tration of railroad labor troubles and
all failed. . These bills may not have
been ideal, yet the wholesale rejec
tion of the principle of arbitration
for labor disputes is not encouraging.
It is a principle that sooner or later
must be adopted in some workable
form. - YT. ' ; :' : ;-
The two new states, Arizona and
New Mexico, contributed their share
of railroad bills and laws. Arizona
passed twelve out ol twenty-seven
measures introduced and New Mex
ico four out of twenty-five.
Considering, all the money spent
on roads in Omaha and Douglas
county, we ought to have gotten past
the experimental stage In road build'
lng and know by this time what pav
ing materials give good and lasting
results for our soil and topography.
Every dollar spent on our country
roads from now on ought to be a
permanent investment
As peace, lovers by nature, women

Boston Herald: Rarely has the plight
of the underpaid clergyman been more
bluntly stated than last ' week at- the
Central New Tork -conference of th
Methodist Episcopal church, where it
was said that 3,900 Methodist ministers
are living within the shadow of the
poor house, and that the average stipend
of an educated Methodist minister is
Jj50 a year, while Chicago carpenters are
paid 63 cents an hour, or more than
11.500 a year. , The churches rightly de
mand intellectual adequacy of their pas
tors. ' They want character, executive
ability, tactfulness and pulpit oratory
of a very high order, properly enough.
But they need to he reminded that really
great men are scarce in any occupation,
that such pastors as were Cuyler are
rare, that there are many preacher, but
rarely a Beecher or a Brook, many
scholars but rarely a Park, and many
finished writer but rarely a Chahnlng.
The churches need to remember also
that such a, remarkable combination of
natalities as they are prone to seek for
their pulpits would get In education
$5,009 or more a "year, and in law or
medicine $1,000 or more a month. The
average salary ot the ministers of the
whole (Country is $663 a year, and in
the rural regions it Is $90 les. Very rea
sonably may the demand be made for a
salary these day of at least $1,000 for
the country clergyman.
