Effect of the Houseoleaning.
Our lawyer friends must not permit them
selves to be forced into the position that tho ex
posure of flagrant abuses by a few questionable
practitioners puts the entire profession under
fire. We know It Is natural for the crooks
caught in the net with the goods to Insist that
they ljavo been doing only what others have
been doing, and to seek by that pretense to rallv
their colleagues at the bar to their defense. But
the indictment of the black sheep ot the law no
moro reflects upon the honost lawyer than the
prosecution ot an embezzling bank wrecker re
flects upon honest bankers.
No lawyer in Omaha who has any rogard for
his professional standing will deny that a seri
ous condition of legal malpractice, pursuing lti
victims by blackmail, framed-up testimony and
perjured witnesses, had come to exist here,
upon which it was high time to call a ha't be
foro the scandal became worso. So far as tho
rnnutnhln And dAirnnt mnmhnra nf thn har nrft
concerned, the only humiliating thing about It !
It that Instead of grappling with the situation
themselves, and undertaking to do their own
housecleanlng through their bar association or
othor Judicial machinery, they left it for a news
paper to turn on the searchlight and break ip
the shake-down game by the irresistible force
of publicity.
Nor do we believe any honest lawyer will
deny the genuine good already done by ii'ho
Bee's lifting of the lid. Whether the indicted
lawyers wriggle out by Interposing technicali
ties or through failure of absent witnesses to
appear, whether on trial thoy are convicted or
acquitted, the strong-arm work of tho Mark
mail brlgada will not bo at onco resumed nor so
boldly pursued for a long time to come, ant, the
frame-up business will suffer at least a tem
porary blight of financial depression. The
legal scalawags and" shysters wlli take back
seats, and the moro honorable lawyers will
have tho call.
Yet, while It undoubtedly has exerted a vital
and beneficent Influence upon our mutual rela
tions with these countries, it has not had the
large effeot of lifting us out ot our provincial
ism and expanding our International vision as
seems it might. Perhaps this is partly because
our foreign-born friends are so quick to fall in
with us and become American citizens. Yt
we recall the statements made in support of the
literacy test clause of the Immigration bill, that
as a matter of fact, not more than one-third ot
our newcomers have in tho( last decade or o
become citizens ot our government. No, the
reason appears to be more with our own selfish
absorption. Perhaps we may expect some
change along this lino as a result ot the opera
tion of the Panama canal.
People and Events
Checking Up the Trofesson.
Tho establishment of schools ot Journalism
in several largo universities has brought about
a curious development that reverses tho ordi
nary procedure in these Institutions. Instead ot
the professor reporting on tho work and bohavlor
ot tho student, tho would-be Journalists are
going around checking up the professors.
In Columbia tho professors were unablo to
make out what was meant by the intrusion of
students from tho school of Journalism Into their
lecture rooms. Tho discovery was later made
that they were taking notes for assignments
they had been sent to cover, and that tho notes
were not such as the dutiful student puts down,
but also contained observations and comment on
both what was said, and how It was said. I'
the lecturer was Incoherent or Indistinct In utter
ance, If ho addressed his boots rather than his
class, It ho was unduly dependent upon his text
book, It ho handled his apparatus clumsily so
that tho experiment showed tho opposite of what
it was Intended to prove all these defects were
carefully scheduled and included In the return.
To relieve tho anxiety of the professors It la
officially explained that they havo no reason to
feel nervous bocauso the reports mado by tho
Journalism students aro not to see tho light ot
day, but are tb be burled in tho archives, and
that they therefore need not bo concerned by
their praise, or their blame, whothor Just or un
just. Wo aro inclined to bellevo that this last
proviso Is unnecessary. Tho university professor
would in most cases bo tho gainer It what was
disclosed by the students' searchlight wero made
use of for tho correction ot his faults. If tho
schools ot Journalism provide the leaven to stir
up the faculties of dthor departments hlthorto
self-sufficient, and keep them In tune with the
times, they will accomplish something not oilp-
inally Included within their scope and purpose
The Alaska Goal Bill.
The senate's public lands committee very
naturally approved the administration's bill
tor leasing coal land in Alaska. The bill Is a
complement- of tho Alaskan rallrpad measure,
andt It Is to bo hoped, will encounter no serious
obstacle In passing on Into tho full stapi ot
lS.Wv It. Is another key tor unlocking and releas
ing opportunities and possibilities for develop
ment, too long delayed, in this great pentiuula,
prolific or all kinds of Industrial wealth.
The plan of the bill rests in a general way
upon tho Taft idea so often urged upon con
gress, that conservation and development go
hand-in-hand in any rational dealing wltn nat
ural resources. But for petty projudlco and
political peeve congress might havo done under
President Taft precisely what it now under
takes to do under President Wilson, for It had
virtually, the same proposition pressed upon it.
But, that aside, tho nation, and especially
Alaska, has reason for much gratification at the
progress toward practical development. Safe
guards are being thrown about this measure so
as to thwart possible attempts at private mo
nopoly or Interlocking Interests and yet at the
same time to, avoid unfairly obstructing legit
imate consolidations and facilitate the general
objsct of development The. stage of coining p.o
litlcal capital out ot Alaska having passed, we
may now count ourselves well on the way ot
straightforward and resolute purpose.
Are We Still Provincials T
What proportion of Americans know or care
about the merits of the Ulster situation? How
many are accurately Informed ot the impending
crisis in France? How great a number ot as
understand the real merits of any of the big
problems agitating Europoan minds at proaent?
Our knowledge of theso things is extremely
superficial and limited, and apparently because
as a people we do not concern ourselves with
them. Our sources ot information, in the first
place, are not the best; the obstacles In the wy
ot getting and transmitting the facts often seem
to baffle us into giving up the effort.
But is thero not still another reason for our
seeming indifference? Is it not that we are
consummately provincial; that we are so deeply
engrossed in our own domestic affairs as not
very generally to have encompassed In our
range ot public interest a lively and Intelligent
concern for much else besides those things that
affect our immediate interests.
This might all appear quite anomalous, too,
In view of our ever-Increasing assimilation of
foreign-born peoples. It would be but natural
to suppose that Immigration would foster a
keener sense ot inquiry Into tho affairs ot Eu
rope, not to speak ot other parts of the .vorld.
The Railroads and the People.
The railroads of the country are evidently
preparing for concerted action in pushing their
demands for higher freight rates, This Is ap
parent, not only from tho general tone ot rail
road men who, more than ever, are breaking
their rule of silence to talk to tho public, but i
also from the numerous retrenchments by '
which many employes are being reduced In
wages or dismissed outright from the service.
To all who protest, tho railroads insist tho are
forced to retrench because ot Increasing oper
ating costs and low freight rates. President
Daniel Wlllard ot the Baltimore & Ohio goes
so far as to say In a public speech that he
thinks the necessity for increased revenues on
tho part of the carriers will be generally ad
mitted. Admittedly, continued growth ot conimerco
requires adequate transportation facilities, to
provide which large sums must be invested In
new lines and equlpmont and the improvement
of old HneB. The railroads must not bo crip
pled nor unfairly hampered in their efforts to
capltallzo their extensions, yet It Is not the duty
ot tho shippers to furnish all the. capital. While
the country was never more disposed to trat
equitably with the common carriers, the burden
of proving the Justice of their claims rests on
the railroads, and the benefit of every doubt
belongs to tho public.
LetNo Guilty Fly Escape.
The national movement for the extermina
tion of tho fly is no Idle enterprise. It may
take years to reach anything like complete suc
cess, but.it is progressing with groat hopeful
ness. It is one of the most practical propa
gandas promoted in this country In late years,
and we have promoted a good many. Its ex
tromo sanity rests on the fact that if seeks to
deal with causes more than effects, to prevent
rather than remedy. And that is the only effec
tual method of procedure against the fly.
It will bo but a tew days now till this nox
ious foe to health and comfort swoops down
upon us. On the theory that the early bird
catches the worm let, ovorybody have his. cwat
ter ready for tho early fly and see thai none
escapes. .. One method of defense Is to havo
screens in good repair and up before the fly ar
rives. But that Is not fundamental; that U
dealing with effects. The better way is to rid
the premises of all substance trash or what
not that tends to draw files. That ia dealing
with causes.
Thero are countries' where' files ara un
known. Ours can bo mado such. ' It Is the

President Wilson expressed amazement, surprise
and amusement in turn at various pictures
painted of himself in the current chronicles ot
.the day. None he says, has over seemed to him
to present the real Woodrow Wilson. Where

likeness upon the canvas. Is it strange that It
strikes many as very unlike the man It purports
to portray?

From heaven descended the precept
"Know thyself."
this Inscription on the Temple ot Apollo
at Memphis, has been credited In turn to Apollo
himself, Plato, Chllo and Socrates, and still
more frequently to Thales. But regardless of its
authorship, its philosophy is universally ac
cepted. Of all human knowledge, none, admit
tedly, could match in actual value that derived
from honest Introspection, and none is rarer.
Often men think they make an honest ie!f
Inqulry, when, as a. matter ot fact, their view is
obstructed by all sorts of obstacles prejudice,
r'anUy, pride and what not. And If they succeed
in satisfying themselves in their own minds of
4hat they are, they are yet less apt to act as
freely upon their discoveries as they might..

L2TA of t1f world, who didst beget
This maiden sister of the sea,
Wn Erin, mid Thy ocean set.

Who Tiast preserved her wondrous chaste
And not less lovely for her woes
Ah, hast Thou- .willed ,that she should
taste
Of all things save repose? '
We cannot live for evermore '
With nought but "Nay" upon oui
tongue, ' '
And ever hear a voice Implore. -
And ever vaunt a heart unwrung..
fhe cries aloud and will not cease.
She bids us blush for all the Past,
if what she craves can bring her peace.
Oh, be It hers at last!

If It be sire of nobler days.
Perhaps too long we shrank appalledj
And fled in terror from a phrase. .
Thou knowest all Thy daughter's breast,
And all Its Inmost dreams d0t know.
If what she craves can bring her rest
Lord, help us to bestow!
GO TO CHURCH TODAY.
Bert Moorehouse.
Go to church today,
And take your place In the old-time peW,
Just the same as you lised to do
When you were a little, care-free lad.
Sitting there between mother and dad,
In the good old-fashioned way.
Perhaps it has been many a day
Since the old folks you loved so dear
HaVe come with you to worship here;
Perhaps you are oppressed with care
And troubles all we mortals share;
Perhaps you are a stranger away
From loved ones on this Sabbath day;
Perhaps you have fallen Into sin
Desiring the now llfo to begin;
Perhaps your heart Is full of tears
And all the sorrows of past years;
Perhaps you're alone and need a friend,
Then let me gladly recommend
That you go to church today.
