The fantaatlc tale that comes from Browns ville about a rare uprising that Is to take over portions of Texas to form a new republic bas tl.ls foundation, that such a scheme could only have Its roots In the densest of Ignorance. That section of Texas Is Inhabited largely by poor Mexicans, driven across the border by distress at borne, or descended from the peons who lived there before Texas withdraw from Mexico. In termixed with these are Uneducated negroes, with a sprinkling of Japanese and Chinese. Tba "White Man's Union" Is the strongest organi zation In that part of the world, and exists solely to maintain the supremacy of tha whlta n an. It is n Texas institution, and takes tba place of politics! parties In local affairs. Its existence Is not always calculated to soothe tba temper of Ignorant men who feel 'its repres sion at times, and while It keeps governments! processes In the cobtrol of the white man, It does. not make the colored man feel any the more kindly towards the dominant race. It Is not at all surprising that vicious men could go among these Ignorant people and fo ment Just such disorder, as Is now apparent. It was done In Mexico, and could easily be re peated in tha Tnlled States. Tba lodges of tha order ofN8an Diego have -ben known to exist for a long time, and have been tolerated because they were not considered dangerous. Other factors than tha political situation In Texas en ter into tha problem, and must be given full weight In tba consideration of any solution. One of the causes of irritation Is found in tha ex igence of many "get-rlch-qulck" schemes In which the whlta men are Interested, and sll having something to do with controlling condi tions on both aides of the border. - General Funston's report will doubtless awaken the authorities to tba serious aspect of affairs along the Rio Grande, where much has been neglected, and order will be restored along the American border. Judge William E. Hanger. Nebraska losea ona of Us conspicuous cm sens In-the death of William H. Munger, who has presided over the federal court for tha dis trict of Nebraska for eighteen years. The high character of tho service which Judge Munger I as been rendering Is perhaps bast attested by the fact that during the last few years, before his health became undermined he had been called upon to sit almost continuously with the circuit court of appeals whera his Judicial experience, and clear perception of the equities of each case, were greatly valued by the Judges of that "su perior bench. Further than this, he at all times commanded tbe respect and confidence of the Utorneys practicing befora him. "The etata of Nebraska, of which he waa a pioneer citizen, Is Indebted to Judge Munger perhaps most In his capacity as a member of the constitutional con vention which framed ;the fundamental law which has governed the commonwealth now for forty years. The architects of that historic document builded tar wiser than they knew, and luld the foundations for the future growth and greatness 0 the state which lias so far passed nil. expectations. Americans at Book Readers, ' ' We in the United 8tatea aro not tha book leaders that are the people of the leading Eu ropean countries. Over here but one person In 7.S0O buys a book in the course of a year, while in Great Britain it is ono in 3,800, in Franca it In about tho same, in Germany and Japan It Is rather better, and In Swltserland it is one' la ST2. These figures, Incorporated in an article Li the Atlantic proposing a remedy for the back ward book trade, discloses a condition which we are' sura few realise. While the proposed rem edy of a woman's revival of the crossroads book hop as part of a chain store system does not strike us as feasible, the bare figures are some thing to ponder on. It la suggested that the discrepancy In book reading here and abroad la to he partially ac counted for by the cheaper, books in paper cov er that constitute tba bulk of tha continental reading, yet experiments by American publish trs with low-priced editions have not panned out as well as the standard-price hook. Mora plaus ible is the explanation .that we do not buy many books because wo read periodicals and newspa pers, and devote our. leisure, time to automo biles, moving pictures and listening , to. muslo produced mechanically without any effort on our part. But over and above all this blasona the big, salient fact of universal education in our public schools, banishing illiteracy and making every man, woman and child a potential book reader and book buyer. The disparity referred to, then, must bo cbargeablo to a defect In the' education, or 'at least to failure to develop a book-reading and book-loving habit. Perhaps we do not need this habit any more perhaps the day of private libraries and prized editions of favorite authors is passing perhaps tho future American, will have bis book reading dona by professionals, as ho haj so many other things done for him. Tbero certainly la to bo no cassation of wriUng books whtlo It is notoriously easier to get them printed low thsn everv The real question, therefore. Is, Are book resdlng and owning ona's own books still worth while? Tho "Offdea Gateway." The action of the Union Paclfio In closing the "Ogden gateway" or rather reserving it for Its own patrons, has been upheld by the Inten. state Commerce Commission, after hearing tho protest of tho Colorado lines and tho summer resort hotel keepers, who demanded that the traveling public be routed through their domain. The decision amounts to recognition of the principle that an owner has tho right to make a preferential use of his own property for his own benefit so long as ho does not lnconvenieneo tho public by doing so. Rival lines will not bo permitted to make tho great Overland road an adjunct of their own, but tho servtco to tho pub lic will bo in no way impaired. Ono Important phraso in tho decision Is that owners of summer resort hotels can obtain no vested rights as such In tho operation of a railroad. Tho Union Pa cific wag compelled to taka its action by tho selfUh aggression of competitors, whoso short sighted opposition forced self-protection on tho Harriuian management. Through servtco be tween east and et will not be impaired, but Omaha once more continues to bo tho entrepot in fact as well as in name. THE BHTC: OMAHA, Fill PAY, AUGUST 13, 1915. - i 1 1 i i j 1 1 i . ...... . The "Mormon" President aaaet Magraala, THFI people who colonised tha deaart ralleys of "Tha Great Baein" and foundedi tba now flourish ing atata of I'tah, Were tha Latter Day Balnta, or "Mormona." In their pilgrimage from the Mleela rippt and Mlaaourl ri vera tha latter then tha frontier of tha nation they penetrated to tha wtlderneaa be tween tha Rockies and tha fflerra Nevada and aet up tha standard of Intermountaln civilisation. Tha present day leader of thla community Is tha sixth to bear tha title of preatdent of tha Church Jeaua Christ of Latter Day faints. He Is the nephew and namesake of that Joseph Smith whom all "Mor mons"' revere aa their martyred prophet. His father, Hyrum Smith, shared with his brother, the prophet, hla tragic fata at Carthage. Ill, June 7T. 1R44: an act of mob violence preceding by only a faw years tho migration of their people Into tha wilderness, Horn at Far West, Mo., November M, IKS, In tha very thick of tho mob troubles that culminated in tho expulsion of tho "Mormons'' from that state, his father, Hyrum Smith, was a- prisoner In the hands of tha Mleeourlan when hla son John F. came. Into tha work1. (one of tha plunderers, while sacking tho defenseless city, thrust themselves Into the sick mother's presenoe. and In reckless search for articles of value pulled a bed to pieces and toeead tha mattress upon another bed where the babe lay sleeping. Ha was nearly smothered when, black In the face, bo waa rescued from his perUouo position. In tha exodua of ISM he accompanied his widowed mother from Nauvoo, III., crossing tha Mississippi on a flat boat, towad by a skiff. Camping on the low.t side of tha river, they witnessed the bosnbardment by tha mob forces of tha dty from which they had fled Mrs Smith, a woman of heroic mettle, drove her own team to the MUsottrt river, and thence across the plains and mountains to Salt Lake valley. Iter little son acted as herd boy and teamster and other wise assisted the family during and after the lone; Journey to the Rocky mountains. Ha was not aulte 10 years old when that Journey ended. . Though naturally serious, and Intensely earnest In his convictions, his temperament Is not saturnine, as unfriendly critics have represented. While ho Can be solemn,- he Is not gloomy and morose. On tbe contrary, there la a jovial vein In hla disposition which makes htm most companionable. Ho laughs as heartily ss anyone at a good Joke, and has a keen apprecia tion of wit and humor. Occasionally ha will "spin a yarn" himself. But fun-making, In order to be ac ceptable to Mm, must bo In season; he delights not In Ill-timed pleasantries, nor In such as leavo a, sting behind. A bard worker, almost tnoeaaantly employed, he never allows hla recreations which are all too few to Interfere with hla labors, particularly his religious duties. ' 1 i There Is nothing that President ' Smith seams to enjoy mora than to be tho boat, and to welcome to his homo, or to public halls owned by tho church over which ha presides, his friends and fellow laborers. A marked feature of hla administration has bean an ex pended aeries of social functions In tho form of semi annual receptions, given In honor of vetera'ns of tha church, notably those who drove ox teams or pulled hand-carts across the plains In .ante-railroad days, or who now occupy posts or hardship, if not of danger, In out of tha way sections. His kind thoughtfulneas toward the aged and hla tender care for little chil dren are among hla moat' pronounced cbaracteriatlca. I was present on an occasion when ha expressed him self indignantly over an Inatanoe where a woman, coming late Into a public assembly, had committed the Impropriety of pulling a child out of a scat that she desired to occupy. I have also known him to leave his place to speak a word of comfort to a poor rid lady whose feelings had been hurt by an ovor brusque,' not to say Ill-mannered, conductor. In some matter pertaining to her ticket. .Exceedingly sensi tive and tender-hearted, ha Is easily moved to tears by any pathetlo Incident that makes a audden demand upon his emotions. - V .'l.. : '.-. While not a millionaire, ' he ta In prosperous cir cumstances the result of hard -work,, prudent man agement; wise Investments, ' and a disposition to save and live within h'.s means. Ho will never purchase an article unless he needs It and can afford It A safe and careful financier, he never pluages recklessly Into an enterprise, however Inviting, and ho always takes a good look before ho leaps. "Oct out Of debt and keep out," ta an Injunction frequently upon hla lips, when giving advice tn public or In private; and ha takea hla own counsel. Like Longfellow's black smith, "ho owes not ony man." Nor will ho allow tho church to become Indebted for a single dollar that Iv cannot pay on demand. As Its truatoo-ln-trust, hold ing tha legal title to Its property, and managing In S general way 1U affairs,, ha Is determined that Us credit, now gilt-edged, shall ao remain. Ha permits no waato and no needless expenditure of the funds entrusted to him. He has been persistently accused' 'of avaricious greed, malfeasance in office, and even, of wholesale robbery of widows and orphans; but theao charges. Invented and set afloat- by personal enemlea for ulterior enda, have no foundation in fact lie keeps and renders strict account of all moneys or ether meana coming Into hla hands as custodian of tho same for and In behalf of hla people. Tha total tith ing paid In the church during 1814, an average year, was fl.8S7.930. Funda distributed for tho support of the worthy, poor amounted to fM6,S3t; tn addition to these regular funds, there was collected, practically In a single day and without cost, 133,000 for tho war sufferers la Europe. President Smith has always been Interested In in dustrial development, and has played a . prominent part In establishing many enterprises that have bene fited Utah and other parts of the west. Ho has helped to construct canals and reservoirs, to build railroads and extend telegraph lines, to found! eo-operatlvo stores, mills and factories, and ho la now president or director tn various large business concerns- Tho question may here be asked: Why la President Smith la. business a) all? Buoh queatlona might well be met by a question from tho other aide: How could tbf LsUter Day ttalnta have accomplished their great work ot redeeming a desert, building cities, bringing tha poor from foreign lands, colonising tho waste places, snd planting civilisation amidst savagery, had their religion not been a religion of temporalities, of emigration, agriculture, manufacture and oommeroo, as well aa a religion of churches, chapels, temples, schools and mUaionaT Deserts are not redeemed by prayer alone. A atata cannot bo founded by singing hymns, preaching sermons and performing ordlnanoaa, Tba "Mormon" believes that Ood la inter ted In the earthly oa well as tho heavenly welfare of hla chil dren;' that Ha tntenda to make earth Into a heaven for their future happiness; and that tha process of Its evolution Into eternal glory comprises temporal as wall as spiritual activities. People and Events A Phlladdlphla Jag la credited with producing eight riot calls In ona minute ant a half. Evidently soma Jersey lightning crossed tho river for exercise. Fanners around Alton, 11L, refused to raise har vesters wages above fl a day, but added to tho caatt three square meals, two lunches and five drinks ot reorta whisky per day. This comes pretty near a spltt of the fat of the land with tho hired help. In a hustle for the busineea of burying a baby rtval undertakers in Brooklyn started a riot In which two men were shot and two roe a arrested by a policeman who bad to use hla gun to save himself la the melee. Meanwhile a neutral undertaker got the business. A New Tork court ruling gives repudiated alimony a grip on tho estate of tha repudlator. A wife vorced In I&9 and allowed) alimony of ISuO a year, which she didn't gt, came back oa the estate of the deceased former husband and plucked her oJlowanoe with Interest from tho grip of family helra, floors once mora for woman scorned. A woman plunger la Wall afreet, caugtt In a down ward slump, wak-hed on her brokers and waa pinched fur a ludKineot of tXUuO, On top of thla la a fine ot t42, fur contempt of court la falling to respond to a summons.

To tha Editor of The Bee: I desire to know who has the first rights, or. In other words, th right-of-way at any street crossing at places known as regular crosswalks tha automoblllst or the pedestrian T In illus tration: An uncrowded corner; no other autos: no other pedestrians; Seventeenth and . Douglas. Pedestrian walking east along aouth aids of croao walk. Automo bile coming north from near Bee build ing, intending to turn east and go down Doiurta. Autolst toots horn Just north ot alley. Keeps on coming. Psdeatrlaa gets almost to east curb, but has actually to stop or bo run down by the auto be cause the autoist has not tha courtesy to turn and go behind tbe pedestrian as ho should do, and as any pedestrian would expect him to do, or has he tho right to run down the sald pedestrlanr Is the autoist required by any law or ordinance to go behind and thus avoid, tha pedes trian T Several eXitotsta have thus un necessarily gone out of their way to threaten my life this way on this par ticular corner. At sea tho rules of the road requires a eeeen liner to avoid running - down smaller vessels by requiring them to ad Juat tbe liner's course according to tho course or direction of the smaller sailing vessel, or even rowboat, provided said smaller boat pursues steadily its course,, I have personally In a rowboat crossed In front of an oncoming ocean liner feel ing more safe than I do walking tn front at autoo. ' , Even In busy railroad yards, with switching crews and engine and cars going In every ' direction, a pedestrian has to watch eveny way and cars run only on tracks. The railroads let mo one run locomotives until one has spent years learning the rules of the road as a fire man. A greenhorn can buy aa auto and start out with It, perhaps one who has never learned the rules of the road hy even driving a horse tr team or riding n bicycle. And these are excellent school for learning the rules ot the road. On crowded streets the sutolst has to get get through where he can, in front or be hind pedestrians', but on a lonely corner the auto, or 'any other -vehicle should preferably go behind the pedestrian In stead of like a pig, crowd In between the pedestrian and the curbstone. Why not en each down-town corner i where there la a traffic officer, post In ; a conspicuous place real rules Of the road . fot both pedestrians and autoisti, or any ' other vehlcleaT ' " ' ' " ;' Q. tC i.i Mederate DrlMklaar. . i- i . Old AHA. 'Aug. li-To" the Editor of The . .Bee: The chief objection" to. prohibition ' by the drinking people seems to be the legal interference with their freedom to purchase and drink liquor Where and ! when they chooee. Now, if you do not' like the law to Interfere with your habits, then see to it that the dispenser of liquors keeps his patrons within tha . limit of what you call moderate use of the stuff. Prohibition has gained so fast only on account of the terrible, havoc liquor bas wrought. .... . I admit that education of the right, character is the beat remedy, but tbat education does not consist of t'je theory that you can stick your hand In the fire without getting burned, or tbat tha mod erate use of liquor is commendable and harmless. Proper education consists of knowledge that you cannot use a stimu lant, such as alcohol, in any quantity, and avoid tbe corresponding depression that follows. Proper education consists of the knowledge which will enable us all to live scientifically, to be at our best,' mentally and physically, and, when we have reached this stage of our progress, the highest state or lasting bapplnesa will be the result. A popular argument of the antl-prohtbl-tlonlst Is that prohibition would throw out ot employment thousands ot people who sre now engaged In tha liquor traffic. Now suppose prohibition doea etop, or at least greatly reduce the manufacture of liquor. These people who stop buying liquor would then spend their money for useful things, such as more and bet ter education, more and better homes, furniture, clothes, etc, .To produce these additional things would require more workers than those now employed In tbe liquor traffic Had I the power to etop the production of alcoholic beverages the world over, I would, without a moment's lealteUon. stop It this minute, without' consult ing anyone as to the advisability of such a move. . . ' R. B. BENDA. That 'Tkat" Seeteaee. OMAHA. Aug. 11 To the Editor of Tha Bee: Tou printed a, letter on "Tha Latin Bugaboo." by Charles P. Lang of Tllden, In which letter there .appeared a sentence which contained the word "That" ten times, and which waa used to Illustrate tbe complexity ot the English language to distinguish tha latroductorles, demons tratives, relatives, nouns, etc., and at which sentence many a -teacher would be confused. The sentence Is: "I say that that that, that you said, was not. that that, that you said that, that that was." Now such a eongloiusralloa of homonyms would be easily discernible It tha idea would be translated into type language, or the International Esperanto, tn which ws would find the following statement: "Ml dlrae ka tlu keo, klu vi dirts no estta tlu keo, ka vt dtiis ka ttu keo est Is." Here ke Is an Introductory; tlu, a dem onstrative; keo, a noun; klu Is a relative, etc. Now these correlatives of which this ona root "lu" forms one of nine (for ke. above. Introductory and Its noun form, ' ending In o, are not correlatives) in which table the root here la "lu," signifies eoms ona, prefixed wtth o, or ctu, becomes col lective, everyone; by t, or tlu, that one, a demonstrative: nen or nealu, a nega-' t-ive. or no ona; k or klu. a relative, be who, or that which. Those forms are filed and constant, and a grade pupil could dlwera them.

How much does it cost you to permit one girl behind your counter to affront a pros pective buyer by an untidy appearance t What is your expense for allowing two of your employes to chew gum t There is in this country a kind of com mercial suicide. It consists of inducing peo- fle to come to your store and then permitting hem to feel discouraged and antagonistic because of your lack of efficiency and cheer ful service. Anybody who serves the public must set as his ideal the fact that he will be superior in . so far as he can to the weaknesses of the public. These are tbe days when it pays big money to offset the hot, disgruntled buyer with good nature and optimism. He who wants the public to patronize him must set a standard above the public's stand ard. You have no right to be annoyed by the heat. You never have a right to be impa tient with your public. ; '.. If you do, you will undermine the good effects of all the advertising you have done. 0snkad.
