When Wall Street Deals.

Macke the carda against you the end la

Bitterly true, perhaps, but honest
and prudent bank presidents have no
right to gamble in Wall street or
clsowhero with other people's
money. The chief fault dwells It
Memphis, not New York. This
man's case Is obvlousty a clear ono
of deliberate speculation for private
advantago he went to beat Wall
street for ho docs not pretend 3
defense, simply pleading guilty anil
throwing himself open to the copse
quences, tho moral effect of which
doubtless will be to temper public
and official Judgment in his behnlf.

lightly over any such situation.
The Lever Bill.
The agricultural extension meas
ure, sponsored by leading business
and professional men, which has
passed tho house, provides an un
conditional appropriation ot $10,000
a year to each state, with an addi

year, increasing $600,000 each
year until tho total appropriations
amount to 1-1.000,000 per annum.
This Is all contingent upon equal ap

Increasing fertility and productivity

of course, heretofore aimed at from
divers standpoints, but as yot ac
complished only in exceptional cases.
It is fully agreed now that wo
bhall do little with our prpblom of
tho high cost of living until we in
crease tho production ot foodstuffs,
not at the expense ot tho producer,
but in such a Way as to make it in
creasingly profitable to him. Thin
moasure Is not offered as an in
stantaneous panacoa, but as n
means of doubling tho output ot our
farms in ten or fifteen years, the
time depending upon tho avidity and
skill with which tho farmers co
operate It Is to be hoped tho bill
becomes a aw and recolves tho un
stinted support of every state neces

While wo havo waited much too
long for such legislation, thousands
ot uncrlminal and lawablding men
going to their graves with
the stamp of convict upon them be
cause our military law was too silly
to dlfforentlato between them and

bill will be annlauded from one end
of the country to tho other. It Is a
sure sign that ''tho world do movo,"
for the "articles of war," that Is tho
military law of the United States
thus amended, has stood intact and
untouched by revision for lo, these
108 years since 1806.
Mann's Statesmanship.
Congressman Mann as minority
leader in the house can be deponded
on to rise to tho occasion when the
weight qf real statesmanship is
nepded t balance small-bore excite
roent. Thus he rises whoa a lot ot
airy.. Jingoes sweep through an
amendment to tho immigration bill
barring Mongolians, Malays and ne
groes, and secures the undoing ot the
folly. To this and other similar
amendments he thus addressed the
bouse, "In a grave, low voice," the
dispatch says, quieting a vociferous
demonstration:
I havo been long enough In this house,
I hope, to place the country above party.
I do not believe any of theae amend
ment should be adopted at this time.
Dealing with our foreign affairs la & sub
ject ot delicacy at beat While I do not

I am bound to rely In the tlrat Instance

Youthful students ot civil govern

Argument.
OMAHA, Feb. W.-To the Editor of The
Boo. Abe Martin said recently that "The
less a teller knows, tho more ho argues,"
but I believe Abe Is wrong on this point
I havo always noticed that when Ignorant
men start nn argument, they cannot dis
pute long without getting mad, and arc
forced to either drop the question under
debate or settle it by brute force.
I take tho opposite view and hold that
the smarter the feller is, the longer he
will argue, for If two men In an argu
ment do nothing but contradict, and are
unable to support their own opinion by
arguments drawn from analogy or ex
perience, or any other logical source, the
dispute will como to an end very quickly.
It seems that every man loves to show
himself superior to his follows In some
way, and as a wise man knows how little
both he and his opponent really know,
he readily aces that thero are always two
rides to every question, and that by
maintaining his position cither by logical
or spurious deductions, ho enjoys a. brief
triumph at the expense ot his adversary.
Now the truth is that an Ignorant roan
cannot arguo at all, he can only contra
dict without giving reasons; another
truth is, that nothing can bo proven true
without tdmo discussion, and usually not
without a long and tedious argument, and
tho Ignorant are Incapablo ot under
standing or making uso ot such a lengthy
process of reasoning.
Socrates was extremely fond of long
arguments; Or. Johnson, the author ot
tho "Rambler," would engago in lengthy
debates concerning metaphysics; Prof.
Huxley, tho agnostic, argued for years
with anybody and everybody that saw
fit to reject his opinions; Lincoln and
Douglas neglected their business in order
to argue politics, and even Christ disputed
with the doctors of tho law.
The only people who can or do argue are
tho educated the serious part of man
kind; fools and children laugh and sing
and enjoy llfo; Indians fill their bellies
and fall asleep; the whlto and black trash
In tho south acrapo tho fiddles and thump
tho banjos, but they never argue, and
they think the words "fight" and "argu-!
ment" mean the same thing.

S0NQ OF THE FEOSTBITTEN.
There Is many a poet that's ready)
To gush at tho first hint of spring;
To chirp at the first tender leaflets,
To enthuse at tho flit of a wing;
But I love to sing of the blizzard .
That whirls the whlto flakes all about)
Whllo the furnace Is smoking and chok-J
Ing
And the plumber Is kept on his route.

The "whispering leaf" is a dead one,
The "babbling brook" .Is passe;
They've been overworked In past ages,
Now In volumes dust-grimed let them
play;
While I sing of the frost on the window
Ani the music of the wheels on tho
snow,
And the voice of the old furnace poker
As It coaxes tho embers to glow.
III.
The "cool green depths of the forest"
"Verdant field," "sunny glade," "shady
nook."
Stirred the soul of the old-fashlonoj. poet
Till It burst Into leaf In a book;
But hoary old Winter can furnish
A landscape that's quite to my tasto
When his wild winds are howling Uko
demons
O'er BOtno bleak, dreary, desolato waste.
