Preposterous! Old fogy! Reactionary! Tho doctors liavo been holding a state conference upon measures thoy would like to liavo tho Impending leg islature enact for them. It goes without saying that no invitations to tho conference -were received by the eclectics or the plectric, tho osteo paths or tho scIeutUtB, and that the usual outcry agaliwt the medical trust will be beard in due time. A Wonderful Opportunity. Krom Lincoln comos Information, considered sufficiently Important to warrant an Aiwptflntwl Tress dis patch, that a grand Jury soon to bo convened will be specially charged to Inquire Into IrwIokb local combina tions for price-raising making for higher cost of living. Perhaps Lin coln has a notion of showing its In Omaha and other neighboring cities, how to reach a solution of this per plexing problem by tho grand Jury route. If so. we venture a few topics for Investigation In th'o form of ques tions : In thoro a coal combine In Lincoln that makes coal cost the same from whomsoever bought, and makes the price go up'tinlfornily on tho first of each month? Js there an titfllorstandlng among Ico men that gauges tho fllr.c weight nnd discount, nnd districts the city territorially for oxcluslvo economics In delivery? 1b thoro a milk vendors' associa tion In Lincoln co-operating solely for sanitary objects with no thought of agrcemont to maintain price sched ules? Do tho creuinorleH oporhtlng In Lin coln Influence local' salon, In such n way that a pound or butter coats the samo, Irrespective of quality, wher ever purchased? Is there a grocers' and butchers' association In Lincoln with such firm nllcglanco upon Its mombers that thoy would rather havo porlshablo goods rot on their hands than sell bolow agreed prices? Is thoro n comblno controlling builders' materials and nuppllcs In Lincoln interlocked wiih an associa tion of building contractors so that bids for now construction aro about as competitive as a game of big casino? Docs tho flro Insurance trust also do business in Lincoln by means of a so-called "Inspection bureau" that moroly rates tho risk with no thought of tho premium charge? If it Is In earnest, and on tho square, that coming Lincoln grnnd Jury enn Improvo a great opportu nity. Much Building Ahead for Omaha. Already nearly ?4, 000, 000 In now construction Is projected for Omaha this year. That moana much moro building will bo done, fr this figure takes account only of a fow largo Jobs, with no roferonco to tho many smaller ones and perhaps other largo ones to bo planned. Tho forcenst, therefore Is for an activo year for labor In tho building tradcB. It would bo quite surprising if boforo tho year ends somo marked changes woro not rondo In tho physical ap poaranco of principal rotnll streets not now included In tho list of Im provements. Certain of thooso nro inovitablo and thero Is roason to b II ovo somo may como about within tho curront twolvo months. Whllo Omnha has set a pneo in building tho last fow years, present prospoects aro for a continuation of progress on a larger scalo than horotoforo. Turkey Cooped Up. Tho. npparont purpose of tho Balkan-states Is to oxpol Turkoyjirom Europe. Except for Constantinople, which Is not at Issue, it begins to look as If that would bo ac complished by tho tlmo tho penco conforenco ends. "Wo coded Macedonia to end war and Insuro peace, but on two points Turkoy will novor ylold," says Kcchad Pasha; "It will never glvo up Adrlanoplo or tho Islands of tho Aegean sea." Yot Rochad Pasha, as spokesman for tho Ottoman omplro. has yielded tltue far every Inch of ground do madded. Ills course has been a con tinuous capitulation. ' Curront opin ion Booms to bo that Turkey's wholo schema wns to play a bluff game nt London, demand all, but If necessary tako nothing. It Is a fnr cry from Its bold proposal at tho outset, and tho humiliating concessions now agrocd to, which loavo tho Turk nothing In Kuropo outsldo tho Islam capital, Ho may succeed in rotalnlng Adrlan oplo nnd tho Aogonn is lands, and yet it would not bo surprising If thoy, too, wero sacrificed at tho last to avoid an Indemnity. Parks Not for Hoodlums, No city maintains its parks at heavy expenso for tho cspocial benefit of hoodlums; It goes on tho theory that tho hoodlums' rights aro, at least, no larger than those of orderly and rbspeotablo folk, young and old. But this does not seem to havo dawned upon thoso youthful toughs who havo been running things rather their own way this winter on tho beautiful skating lake in Ilanscom park. It Is not fair to allow them oxcluslvo rights. It is wrong to permit them to make thp place uudeslrablo for thoso who may not on Joy fighting as thoy skate. The police enn cer tainly command this situation. It thoy cannot do it without expeling these young hoodlums, then expel them.

The Workw and the State" (Cen tury), by Arthur D. Dean, discusses the mental, mora nnd manual energies of man.

Wa are making our first serious attempt to meet, tn any complete sense, pressing economic, Industrial and social problems. "When wn attempt to sudy tho signifi cance of Industry upon tho Itfe of our people we find that the social and eco nomic problems Involved arc exceedingly puzzling. In the past It was a compar atively easy task to develop an educa tional scheme in accord with the ideal ot John etusJt Mill. But today We soon find that the moment we attempt to connect our schools with our Industries and the vocations ot our people we are confused by the demands upon the schools. "In America public education is a pas sion, and rightly so. We shall go forward In our attempt to adjust our schools to the needs ot our children and our Indus tries. But Just how wo .shall do It Is a problem. We must know something ot thn significance of Industry upon the Ufa of our people, ot the new position women are taking In the economic world, ot the trades union movement, ot the educa tional work now being organized under private initiative In factories and stores, and a score of subjects hitherto consid ered as being outside of the province of teacher and tchool administrators.

' "We threw kisses at Mrs Wombat, our candidate, for an hour and seventeen minutes. ' Washington Horatd. LUCK. S. K. Klser, In Itecord-Herald. Some peonie say It wasn t luck that mails em rich and proud; They claim 'twas wisdom, work and pluck that raised 'em from the crowd; I don't deny that there's a pile of truth In what they say. And ylt It always makes mo smile to hear 'em talk that way. Per Instance, there was Henry Wood taught school here years ago; His teachln' wasn't any good wo had to tell him so; He tried to get another school, but couldn't anywhere; Directors 'thought he was a fool and said so plain and fair! So, havln' notliln' 'else t'o do, he wrote a silly book or two; Most mushy stuff I ever read, but I have lately heard It wild That Henry was a millionaire. And there, was John Tate's oldest son, a lazy, worthless chap; When there waa hard work to be done he never helped his pap: The old man drove him off at last Just told him plain nnd flat That all the monkeyln' was past what happened after that? They say he's iialtln' money down and keeps six servants up In town; He sells some kind of medicine he guar antees to keep 'cm thin When women think they're gcttln' fat. Take them two fellers was it pluck with which they were endowed? Or was It Just n bit of luck that made 'em rich and proud? Tako notice, that I don't deny that work and wisdom win. But when you say that ends It, why excuse me If I grin. Our Treat All Week! bmbsmw ttannBasssBBsSMsssMi Luscious "Sunkist" Oranges at Special Prices. at Your Dealer's !
