Talking of Panics.
The New York Herald, which says
some very complimentary things of
President-elect Wilson, seems qulto
within reason In calling to mind Mr.
Wilson's own doflnltfon of a panic to
Justify Its criticism Hint ho talks too
much, particularly on this subject.
It will be remembered tnat Mr. Wil
son said "a panic Is a state of mind."
It follows, then, that agitation bcara
the same vital relation to panics as
It does to a stato of mind. There Is
no special quarrel with the Wilson
definition, since every panic In our
history has been preceded by a state
of mind characterized by Impaired
confldunco, If, then, wo avoid all
panicky talk we may nvold tho panic
especially In tho absence of more
tangible provocation. At any rate,
now that the country, and especially
Wall street, has had such an lmpres-
Islvo statomont of tho presldent-olect's
position in tho premises, It might be
wise to cease discussing gibbets and
talk of pleasantor things.

Interest rate of 1 per cpnt per month.
As originally presented by a commit

exhaustive Investigation, tho meas
ure carried a rate of 2 per cent,
which the 8unuto cut to 1 per cont
and the houso to 1 per cent. Then
tho bill went to conference, whoro it
is now.
Its fnte muy of for useful sugges-
! tions to the Nebraska legislature In
tho construction of a similar mean-
tire, a pertinent demand for whleh
exists in our state. The' first thing
! Is to preveut usury. Of course,
small loans to persons without bank
credit will naturally draw larger In
terest than otherwise, but the rapac

would bo a good Idea if the booka

SILVER CREEK, Neb.. Jan. U.-To
the Editor of The Bee: I am not from
Missouri, but I would Uko to be shown.
I would Uko to know who Is to be bene
fitted by the work of the proposed "Ne
braska Development and Public Welfare
commission."
It it proposed that this commission
shall gather the "facts" In regard to
Nebraska's admittedly wonderful re
sources and publish them to the world.
But Jf this "world" is not already In
formed as to these facts. Is It not the
world's own fault? To my personal
knowledge The Bee has been Industriously
disseminating these facts for more than
forty years and other papers all over the
stato publish them.
Tho United States government Is con
tinually collecting and publishing such
facts; thousand of strangers are contin
ually passing through our borders who
spread there facts to the ends of the
earth, and almost every' citizen of Ne
braska has his correspondents In other
states, and other countries, whom he
keeps Informed as to facts coming under
his observation.
Don't you think all that Is about adver-f
Bains enough, even If we admit, which
I do not. that It Is proper to tax the
peoplo for advertising purposes at allt
If J have anything to sell. I. myself,
should be to the expense of advertising
It, and not my neighbor. But If you do
not think all this Is sufficient adver
tising, let ma call your attention to the
well-known fact that fdr the last twenty
five years wo havo had an advertising
agency in our Bureau of Labor and In
dustrial Statistics, which, by law la re
quired to "cbllect. collate and publish
.. .. i i.i i ...
, facJturen) n(lugtr,a, clRMC8 and materaj
uiuiiiuiia nun iucis relative to mnnn.
esources or tho state." Does not that
cover the ground pretty thoroughly? For
th next two years Governor John II.
Morchead will be the head of that bureau.
What Is tho matter with him? For the I
support of this bureau for these last two '
years. Including a small deficiency, thel
last legislature appropriated K,t6.1.
nnai is tno matter with that? How
muon more is wanted?

others nit up all night to. bo-nble to brag
that they mailed the first package by

New York World: A government In
spector of locomotives has ordered a
Michigan road to send twenty-one of Its
engines to tho repair shops. Running a
railroad under government supervision
may have its disadvantages in the view
of operating officials, hut It contains the
promise for the traveling public of
greater efficiency and a corresponding"
Increase of safety.
New York World: If the peoplo ot the
United States mean business In the
matter of the parcel post they can
demonstrate tho fact very easily. They
can order the repeal of the grotesque law
which compels the use of a speclul stamp.
Why add' an absolutely unnecessary
restriction to a service supposed to pro
mote publlo convenience? They can order
the repeal of the absurd exception In tho
law governing tho parcel post against
books. Why exclude books from an enter
prise that Includes butter, eggs and
apples?

What lllil Slu Snyf
A maiden fair, with aunklssed hair,
Came 'tripping down tho street;
Her face serene, her age umpsteen
Gee whizz! What dainty feet!
On the sidewalk slick she came down
quick,
With a thud thot shook her curls;
But tho words she used must be ex
cused, For sho's one of our nicest girls.
ot Forgotten,
1 don't forgot my summer girl
When Ico Is on the lakes and ponds;
When skating damsels form it whirl
Of gay brunettes nnd dizzy blondes.
I don't forget my summer girl
When sleds go whizzing down the hill;
When sportive lnsKlca snowballs hurl
With much moro merriment than skill.
No skating lass with flying curl,
No slelghlntr miss, no casting belle,
Makes me forget tn' summer girl;
'She Is my winter girl as well.

COMMON HUMANITY.

When you hear a man rejoicing In his
excellence of health.
You may envy him beyond the man with
honors or with wealth.
But If you knew him better you'd occa

He has coUghs or colds or toothaches.
Just the same as you and me;
For everybody has his little ache,
He may keep on smiling, for politeness

And with 'courageous pride
The fact attempt to hide
it's tmposslblo to dodge the little acho.
When perpetual rejoicing seems to murk
some citizen
Who Is commonly referred to as "tho
happiest of men."
It's a shame to cast suspicion on a nature
swe? t and kind.
But sometimes he wttl slam tho door and
strive to speak his mind.
For everybody has his little grouch:
You may not hear his wounded soul cr
"Ouch!" But nobody on this enrth
Lives a life of constant mirth
If you're human you will have your little
grouch. y
The person so self-satlsflcd, the man of
solid poise.
Who has conquored circumstances and

Sometimes, In sod reflection, ho will scat
ter, with a sigh,
The rose leaves of , remembrance on the
hopes of days gone by.
For everyhody has his little dream.

But the lights forever glow
From the days of long ago
