Publio Service. The best sorvico rendered to the publio Is usually placed at our dis posal without cost. If compensated In proportion to ability and effi ciency at the rate that Is paid to hired public offlcors and employes, this volunteored Borrlce would add up to almost incalculable yalUo. Tbeso observations are prompted by what seems to us inadequate ap preciation of tho brains, timo and labor freoly given to Omaha by the men in responsible direction of tho Ak-Sar-Dcn fall festival and by those who are Just about 'to close up their labors In connection with tho rollof work following the lato tornado. Pcrhapa tho two bodies aro not ex actly of tho same class, tho dno being more or less permanent and the othor simply temporary, tho one drawing tho limelight and passing glory and tho other devoid of display and pro ductive of thanklcssncss, if not com plaints. Dut the point is there, that the best business talent In a live, progressive community is always requisitioned when there Is a real job to do, and tho response Is promptly niado out of pure public spirit to promote tho general good, In which those who carry tbo laboring oar share only as do all the rest. After all, howevor, as overyone who has ever answered such a call will testify, the consciousness of a higher duty done to the best or one's ability is tho real satisfaction that comes from publio service. The Trespasser Problem. According to reliable statistics, 192,642 persons wero killed on rail- road property In this country from 1830 to 1912, inclusiv6: 103.660. or 63,8 per cent as trespassers, for whose safety the railroads wore not directly responsible In that time 16,932, or 8.8 per cent, of tho whole met death In train accldonts. Thnsn doaths chargod to mischance, or tho fault or carolossness' of Uho victim, ore numbered at 176,610, or 01.2 per cent of the whole. The railroads complain that while tbo publio hears much about the 8.8 per cent killed in train accldonts, for which tho railways aro directly re sponsible, it hear very little about tho other 91.2 per cent, and there Is something in that. Apart from that, howovor, the trespasser problem challenges public attention. It calls for consideration by national and state legislatures, as woll as commis sions having to do with other forma of railway regulation. The long and short or It Is that tho time has como to co-operate with tho railroads In an effaft abate, If not prevent, this si&ugnter or men, women and chll jdrea pa the rights-of-way of. railroads 'without any buslnese there. The aa- sertlea, of Me reads that alone they are power! to prevent it ought to be, in the face of the awful toll of life, SHfflcieat to ardusa publio, senti ment. The railroad! are everting faithful and fruitful efforts at groat cost for tho safety of tho lives en trusted to their keeping, and thoy deserve assistance to protect thoso not entrusted to their keeping. Choosing a Vocation. , A book has been written on "Choosing o Vocation," and if it serves no other purpose than to arouse those who read It to the im portance of toe selecting of a life work It will have Justified itself. What choice can be more important unless it be that of choosing a hus band or wlfa? To this aga belong the credit of barkening to the call for greater efficiency and to the task! of raising each tnan'a efficiency to Its highest exponent. But such a thing is not possible unlets the man first has found his proper sphere of labor. Haphazard methods seldom produoe maximum efficiency. Or, as this author referred to, the lato Professor Frank Parsons or Boston, puts it: If a yoving man chooses his vocation so mat nis best abilities and enthusiasms Will be united with his daily work, he ia iaia ui lounaauon of success and happiness. But If hl miii.. .. tbuslasms are separated from his dally worx, or do not find in It fair scope and opportunity for exercise and develop ment; It his OCCUD4tl0tl Is miralv a means of making a. living, and tho work he loves to do Is side-tracked Into the evening hours, or pushed out of his life altogether, he will be only a fraction of me man n ought to be. Yet how many parents have, nron erly considered tho selection of their boys' vocation? "I believe In let ting a boy follow tho bent of his own talents and choose his OWn nocuniL. tlon" Is a very common expression of parents, who seem to think that as "water seeks its own level" an 1m maturo youth will unaided certainly fall into the sphere for whtoh he Is most fitted. But the logic of such reasoning does not appoar. The parent guides the child through school and all the other prelim inaries, ao why not into the final and permanont role of his life? Not that one person may fully decide for another what ho should do, but wise counsel Is helpful and needed. Between the boy and bis parents thero ought to be a pretty good Idea of tho boy's talents, tastes and In clinations, a thorough inventory and reckoning or which aro essential in a faithful effort to start ono along the right road. Of course, em phasis Is no more to be laid on in fallibility here than elsewhere, for the average, human is not free to see and admit his own shortcomings, but tile general rule as laid down Is a mighty good one to follow. At least, it Is better than paying no at tention whatever to one of the most crucial turns in every career. The Contribution of the Germans. The most notable feature of this year's Ak-Sar-Ben festival, according to the consensus of public opinion, was the contribution o'f the German dement of the cpmmunlly in tho form of tho Gorman day exercises and parade. Tho magnificent dis play made illustrates what, can be dono by well directed effort, enthusi astically supportod, along nationality lines in a cosmopolitan tlty like ours. It takes an occasional rontindor of this kind to Impress up6n us tho largo and substantial part which our citizens ot German ancestry tako In all our public activities, but which is not so clearly seen as when massed In a special project, promoted and executed by themselvos. Among tho admirable traits of the men and women of German descont aro their pride In upholding them. Our Ger man friends have set an example, not only to tho othor so-called foreign elements among us, but to those who like to distinguish themselves as native Americans. The Han in the Coal Mine. For eight days peonlo have Watched with eager solicitude the progress of rescuing the entombed anthracite coal minor, and now re joice at his safe delivery. His was a perilous and awful experience, but he displayed a fortitude to match It. It must be a terrlblo thing to be shut off frdm help in the dank depths of a coal mine for eight days with Only such outside communication na a small tubo affords. But another man lies buried be neath tho burden of anthracite coal. He, too, seems holplcas, and. he has boon ontombed for moro like eight years than days. What of his peril and fortitude and delivery?' What prospect of relief from this moun tain of Increasing coal prices is thero for Mr, ultimate Consumer? The sound ot his muffled voice is heard moro often the deeper ho sinks. He, too, is hemmed in yn thick wall, the gigantic barrier of trust control. But ho tries to keep up courage. Dark ness envelops him. Ho sees only tho ray of hopo before him, nothing moro tangible Yet, nts every now and then a morsel of temporary re lief roaches htm through the tube, he sends up words of cheer, showing that ha still hopes. How 16nsr will it hn 'hfnr mm tangible help comes to tUls other vic tim of the Coal stlqe? Going Sack to the tfiiU Syitex, "We are) servants of the people, the whole people," said Woddro Wilson In his speech pf acceptance. "Seine, people only senile when you speak ot yourseU at tho servant ot the people; it seems to them like Af fectation or mere demagogy." undoubtedly true, and Why? The platform on which Mr, Wilson and his democratic brethren In con gress were elevated to office nro. vlded, under tho caption, "Civil Serv ice Law"; The law pertaining to the civil service should be honeAtly and rightly enforced, to the and that merit and Ability shall bj ine standard or appointment and promo tion rather than service randtred to a political party. According to Washington dis patches, the democrats are now pro posing by amendment to the urgent deficiency approprlaUon bill to Ve move from the civil service all ot tha hundreds of deplity United States marshals and internal revenue col lectors and to make them subject to pollUcal appointment. It contem plate a direct and Undisguised blow at the merit system and a step back ward to the spoils scheme in poltltlCs, and, pf courso, merely as 'the enter ing wedge to split tho whole civil service system. Is It any wonder that "Somo people mile when you speak of yourself as a servant ot the people," or that "It seems to them like affectation or mere demagogy"? After declaring In his "The New Freedom" that "we shall hayo to run twice as fast as any rational program I havo seen in order to get any where," Mr. Wilson asserts: "I am, therefore, forced to be a progres sive." Then what will he do with this reactionary policy of his party? Pood Price Variations. An Investigation made by the fed oral bureau ot labor Into the prices ot food In halt a doten eastern clUes discloses a decided variation between them. Tbe clUes in the list are Bal timore, Boston, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, and the returns Indicate that food prices in Baltimore are decidedly lower than in the other cities, and that Boston, rather than New York, as would naturally be expected, runs highest. Taking the low quotations for a particular date, sirloin steak could be had In Baltimore for 20 cents a pound, as against 22 cents In Cleve land, 24 cents In Now York, 25 cents In Washington, 38 cents in Philadel phia and 33 cents In Boston. For rib roast the low pried in Baltimore was 16 cents, as against 22 cents In Boston, and 20 cents In New York and Philadelphia. Eggs selling In Baltimore and Washington for 24 cents a dozen were commanding 31 cents in Boston and 30 cents in New York. In the one Item of butter alone the range In Baltimore, 34 to 42 cents, was higher than In Boston at from 31 to 37 cents. Without fuller information it would be idle to try to explain tbe reason for theso divergent condi tions, which are doubtless repeated as between our own cities of' the west. If wo were to make a wild guess, however, It would be that the moro active competition of Balti more's public markets Is reflected In these food prices, and that possibly Boston grocers and butchers have a closer understanding with one an other in which consideration for the consumer Is not overrnwerlng, The Gospel of Sanitation. Our missionaries nave borne their gospel beyond tho seas "unto the uttermost parts of tho earth." In their wake have gone tho evangelists of commerce to spread American In terests and Influence in other lands. And then followed the civil servants with their good news of sanitation, through the instrumentality of which "lands that havo lain in darkness" havo been lighted with a now hope, new aspiration, new vision or life. American sanitary regulation has mado a new country of the Philip pines and it alone Is sufficient to Jus tify American occupation of the isl ands. This gospel of Cleanliness which jWon havo classed next to GOd UnesS has dono much for tho Island Guam, for Hawaii, has rftvoluttdnixed conditions in Porto Rico, Cuba, and made almost a health resOrt of the Panama heretofore known as "the post holo of the tropics." Much has been said, ia connection with our insular extensions, or tho "white nian's burdon." What better burden could we boar than' that or teaching theso people tho lessons of cleah-llvlng find helping to emanci pate them from the bondage of dls easot Missionaries In China and other oriental countries say that their Influence with the natives would amount almost to nothing If thoy did not combat the tilth and disease they find upon entering their fields of labor; that the orientals expect the occidental to know how to help them out of their unwholesome phys ical conditions as well as administer to their spiritual wants, whlCh are really the vory last to be considered by th6 far easterner. By-precept and example our representatives in what ever cause or capacity, then, must teach the people ot these lands the redeeming power of sanitary exist ence. Call it what they will, the critics ot "territorial aggression" .beg the question so long as they criticise an Influence that accomplishes what Ours has, If through no other agency than that of modern sanitation. "Benevolent assimilation," as the lamented Presidont Mckinley called it, is Indeed an appropriate name for such a system. The change in administration at Washington has brought no change in the method ot conducting Undo Sam's land lotteries. The theory is that this method conduces to put ting tbo land Into the hands ot ac tual settlers, when, as a matter ot fact, nine-tenths ot those who take out numbers do so tho same as It buying a Ucket'for a grand prise. There must be a better way, but pre sumably It will not be resorted to until after all tho worth-Whllo reser vations have been opened, Don't get the notion that every place in Omaha liconsed to 6cll liquor is selling, dut Of hours.

"Surrounded by the leaders ot a united democracy," says tho dispatch, "President Wilson signed the Under- wood-Simpson tariff bill." The Lou isiana senators evidontly were not present.
