Sticking to the Job.
And 1 sent messengers unto them, saying, 1 am
doing n great werk, so that I cannot come down;
why should the work cease, whilst 1 leave It and
come down to you?
Nehemlnh, of courso, was wlso enough to
know that ffanballnt tried to lure him away
from his groat work for mischief Instead of
good, as ho protended. Sanballat resorted to
subterfuge only after ho found that Nehemlah
had built tho wnll irresistibly and that ho could
not be moved from his work by force or fear.
"Come, let us meet together In some one of
the villages in tho plain of Ono," said the crafty
Sanballat. "Dut they thought to do mo mis
chief," Nchomlah tolls us. And even If they
had not, even if his enemies had been his
friends with all good Intentions in tho effort to
dissuade him from what ho was doing, Ne
homlah's answer probably would have been tho
same "I am doing a great work, so that I
cannot come down."
Tho lesson Is a modern and much-needed
ono. Too mnny wall builders among us today
aro prone to fly at tho first opportunity of
selfish aggrandizement, no matter what tho task
in hand may bo, and for that very reason, the
church, It Is feared, among othor good institu
tions, suffers needlessly. There is no higher
Incentive than duty, unless It be lovo, but the
two become ono when It comes to a matter of
unflinching devotion to the work ono actually
beliovcs to bo his. Religion, business, the pro
fessions, all seem to need a larger cultivation
of this dovotlon to duty for duty's sake; the
men who nro willing to stay on tho Job until it
is completed becauso thoy bolleve It worth
doing, because thoy bellovo it to be their work
and inoro Important than the emoluments It or
aomo other Job may hold for them.
Recently a dlsclosuro showed that nearly all
the ranking officials of a great Amorican rail-
ond had been with it for twenty years or more,
working their way up from tho humblest posi
tions. Doubtless every man of them at dif
ferent times in bis career had had opportunities
to go clsowhore, but ovldontly ho believed in his
Job and had balance enough to know that If he
fully mastorcd It its Towards would bo as great
oh thoflo of somo othor.
Drlef tenures, tho spirit of restlessness, fre
quent changes, seom to be characteristic of
American workers In most linos and to a large
extent, especially in such work as that of the
church, It Is moro harmful than helpful.
Some Well Known Immigrants.
"Children of foreign-born parents oxcol
American children in school work because
American children nro permitted too many out
side pleasures," says Mrs, Ella Flagg Young of
Chicago. A similar fact was brought to light
in Omaha by The Deo In Us survey of tho public
schools last uutumn. Possibly It Is general
wherevor there aro largo bodies of foreign-born
children,
Yet wo find somo good people demanding
severor restrictions upon immigration. The
work of theso children is a direct reflection of
thpli'.p'areiital training. Many of tho little boys
n tho Omaha schools principally of Russlan-
Jewirh parentage, were found to bo earning
from $2G to $36 a month selling papors, while
koeplng abreast of their work In school. There
it. too much in such frugality, application to
duty and concentration of mind to bo lightly
thrown away in our country, especially if the
strictures of Mrs. Young and others equally
eminent aro correct Wo cannot afford to lose
ho force of them.
Tho American Magazlno in tho courso of a
series of articles on "Tho Finest Immigrant I
Know," brings out this list of roproaontatlve
European-AmorlcnnB: Androw Carnegie, James
Wilson, former secretary of agriculture; Will
iam D. Wilson, socretary of labor; Charles P.
fitolnmotz, tho famous electrician; Edward Dok,
Carl Schurz, Jacob Rils, Joseph Pulitzer, Ed
ward A. Stoinor and Mary Antln. It might ex-
'end tho Hat indefinitely. Aro wo ready to lose
othor sucli men and women from our future so
cial, political and scientific llfo?
The Two Mr. Joneses.
No ono absorbing tho official statements
with reference to the nominations for places on
tho fedoral reserve banking board that aro being
held up by the senate can escape the conclusion
that thoro aro two Mr. Jones' In that mlxup.

mittently, until ono day It fell asleep. This re
vival, thorefore, must bo music to tho oar of
those who enjoyed tho fun and frolic of other
days.
The Sunday Joy-Eider.
Ten persons wore killed and numerous oth
ers injured In automobile accidents In half a
dozen cities last Sunday. Sundays and holidays
seem to lnclto tho speed mania, naturally
enough, as freedom from regular business af
fairs tends to loosen restraint and unbrldlo pas
sions. Ten lives, to say nothing of the Injuries
not fatal, is an enormous toll to pay for one
day's Joy-riding. That equals the total number
of dead reported tho country over from Fourth
of July explosions. Which suggests the great
opportunity for a "safe and sano" motoring
propaganda, Just as we havo been carrying on
as to Independence day celebrations.
When we remember how tho newB review
of July 5 used to roll up the scores of dead and
dying from the deadly firecracker and toy pistol
we can readily appreciate tho excellent results
already achieved from tho "safe and sane"
movement. Agitation counts In this country. Let
the Amorican people bend to tho task of bring
ing about a certain purpose, employing the
press, pulpit, rostrum, schools and other means
of publicity, and there is no tolling what may
not be accomplished. Americans havo been in
dulging in crazy celebrations of tho Fourth
longer than thoy havo been Joyriding in auto
mobiles. Tho former habit had a deep hold
and if it could be loosened so quickly in tho in
terests of life and limb, certainly tho newer
acquired craze can be checked also.
Psychology of .the Seasons.
Regardless ot the existence of a Dsvcholner
of business, no ono can successfully dispute
that there is a psychology of tho seasons. Dur
ing the hot, enervating weather of our mld
summor months people refuse to bocomo excltod
over anything the same people who easily koy
tnemsoives up to a pitch of enthusiasm when
the atmosphere Is more bracing. People of
tropical countries are notoriously lethargic, and
the inhabitants of the Arctic regions seldom
thaw out. It Is. the inspiration of alternating
seasonal variations .that hns built tho most ad
vanced civilizations whoro spring, summer, au
tumn and winter follow one anothor with dis
tinct demarcations.
Again Viewing With Alarm.
Ah, hero wo aro! As they say In the par
lanco of tho street. "Look who's here," thnt fa
mous and familiar old flllp of reform and mili
tant dqmocracy "Wo view with alarm!"
Credit for tho redtvlvus goos to the normal
school (lopartmont of tho National Educational
association, which viewed with alarm "tho ac
tlvlty of the Carnogio and Rockefeller founda
tion agencies," represented as sapping the life-
blood from tho system of popular education and
prostituting the public school, college and unl
verslty to tho whims and wishes of two men,
both away past tho allotted tlmo of life.
But publlo interest will center moro In the
"como-back" of this old shibboleth than the rest
of tho resolution. Wo had sometimes won
dered if it could como back, it had beon gone so
long. It has been- a slogan to conjure witli, a
clarion call to patriots. When the rapacity of
republican rule was gouging the life out of tho
people, hero camo old "Wo view with alarm" to
set things right. When the torturing hands of
greed and graft were pressing down tho crown
of thorns on tho brow of labor and crucifying
mankind on a cross of gold, ah, here came this
"star-eyed goddess of liberty," as Colonel Wat
terson would say, to strike down the ruthless
tyrants and the shackles they welded In tho
name ot humanity atid right. It did duty on
dress parade at every opportunity during that
famous "First Dattle,". and continued to serve
tho uses ot florid rhetoric and parboiled Eng
lleh throughout the series ot wars waged in be
half ot a certain sacred ratio and an ambitious
master of speech. Then we heard it only inter
Moheno's Fulmination.
Senor Moheno has hurled oplthets at the
president of the United States, his predecessor
and the leaders of all political parties In this
country, and yet should not bo too severely
criticised. The weather is hot. and the senor has
Just been bounced out of a soft Job by Huerta
and forced to lleo for rcfugo to the land of his
curso. It Is enough to make any man mad,
much moro a hot-blooded and impassioned Mex
ican. Besides, he may bo completely coolod off
by the tlmo ho reaches New York and ready to
laugh at his own folly. What would a proud
spirited American do, for Instance, who was
forced to hustle out of his own country over
night? He certainly would not content himself
with making faces at a foreign flag through the
portholo ot a ship.
Yet thero is a serious sldo to this perfor
mance. Moheno's prominence in Mexican af
fairs as a former cnbinet member and aspirant
for tho presidency, together with the gravity ot
his charges, naturally challenges our serious
consideration. While It would be difficult to
convince many people in this country that lead
ers of all political parties, Including the presi
dent, himself, had consciously or unconsciously
conspired to solzo and appropriate tho territory
between tho Rio Orando and Panama, the ful
mination, tinder tho circumstances, is not to be
too lightly passed over. Jf the details aro to bo
disclosed, as Moheno says, on his arrlvel In New
york, .they will bo awaited with some Interest.
PEOPLE AND EVENTS.
Humanizing Education.
Eliminate from tho faculty the
who at his best bolongs to the university, at his
worst Is a pedant. Encourage among teachers and
students, In tho class room and still moro out of it,
every Influence that tends to umTy, to aoclallio, to
humanize knowledge.
That is part of a program for "the regen
eration of tho Amorican college," suggested In
a recent magazine article. It describes a line
along which, happily, our education is tending.
as it must to servo Its end. Nino men out of
ten, who have been to collego, probably will
admit that tho Influence that counted for most
with them, tho thing that impressed them deep
est, was not what they got out of a book, but
the personality of somo professor. And which
professor, tho pedantic little exponent of fault
less propriety, with, perhaps, a profound mas
tery of his subject or that big. broad-iraucod.
world-vlsloned, strong, warra-soulod fellow that
dominated his class room and all about him
by the sheer force of his personality? The
other fellow did not have any personality, to
speak of. He simply had a head crammed full
of .book: learning.
This sort of man is tho ono to weed out of
the faculty if tho school is to havo a humaniz
ing influonce. Ho is tho "Male school teacher,"
that Riley used to make so vividly Interesting
to his friends. Our's Is a day of human inter
est, or human touch, not onlv in th not, not
loom, every whero. It is life, realism, the poople
want.' That is why tho newspaper reporter with
the human Interest Instinct is preferred to the
one who lacks It. And with tho Bteadv lncreaa
of the popularity of education, the need of
humanizing it grows.
We are told that for four years the average
price for grain on the farm has been 6 cents
less per bushel in Nebraska than In Kansas, and
that this Is due to the lack of a public ware
house law. Perhaps. But it may be due In
part also to the fact that In Nebraska thn craln
dealers act together as if In a trust, while tho
farmers who sell the grain havo been lacking In
co-operation.

His crazy chimney rock and shake,
And he sits by a guttering taper's light.
Mending old shoes .till tho dead of night.
He might talk morally If he chose
Of the petty Jealousies of the town:
"Old Manotte's boots never match his
hose,
And the Abbe's best aro all run down!"
Yes, he might gossip of folly and sin
For the neighbors wrangle, when they
drop In!
But ever, ns he sits patching there
Tho leather with which they tread their
way.
He silently thinks, in his wooden chair,
Of the many souls In the village gray,
Battered and worn, but kindly too,
Bhown forth In each shabby, outworn
shoe;
And he breathes a prayer, and his keen
eyes blur
The quaint old, tolerant shoemaker!
