Turn in any direction this spring morning and we are confronted with scenes of violence, of waste and destruction. Nature Is preparing to make the world a lovely place, to deck It with beautiful flowers, to pick out tbe soft green of the leaves and grass with tbe brilliance of blos soms and to fill tho air with the fragrance of flowers and the mating songs of the birds. The Joy of life should be upon -us all. But man, created but a little below the angela, gives his energy to tbe crestlon of discord, to the over whelming of his fellow man, and to the spread ing of terror and death In all directions, He has no time for the enjoyment of the delights of all outdoors, where bird and beast and tree rod sbrub, grasses and flowers, and earth and sky merge in one grand symphony of life and love, and devotion to the mastering Impulse of bringing forth new life, To what strange per version of his godlike gifts Is this unreasoning ardor for widespread mischief ascrlbable? Hatred relgni where love should rule, and Jeal cusy and dlatrust have replaced the neighborly frankness that should prevail between the races of men, whose Intellectual endowments mark litem aa fit to direct and manage all the affaln of life. The picture U not an Inspiring one, but be yond It hope can descry a time when the rule of unreason will be ended, when concord between the nations will prevail, and when the enlight ened peoples of the world will once more take up the "white man'i burden" and by precept and example alike guide the "lesser breeds" along the way to better things. If It were not for tbli hope the outlook would be fsr more gloomy then the dreadful present, Economy in Education. Residents of Buffalo county have taken steps ir1 accordance with the new school laws for the consolidation of districts, the establishment of rural high schools and for other Improvement! In their country schools. Ho far, however, emphasis Is laid on economies to be secured rather tban Increase in privileges to flow from the new arrangement. Economy In school mansgement Is com mendable; In fact, It Is to bo Insisted upon, Kxtravaganre ought not to be permitted In any department, and any step that will bring about a lessened cost without decreasing the efficiency of tbe schools Is In the right direction. But the prime object of the public school! Ii to give l' the hoys and girls the advantage of Instruc tion In at least the rudiments of knowledge, to open the way to the wondrous treasure house in which Is stored the fruits of all man's en deavors from the first. Neit, and scarcely less Important, Is to implant and develop that thirst for knowledge that cannot be quenched; the eagerness to know, to find out, that lives forever and leads Its possessor into tbat realm wherein the great of all the world are at hi! service, This Ii possible of accomplishment, along with savings In administrative and other overhead charges In the public echool system. The erec tion of the rural high school la one of the agen cies by which the youthful mind may be given the Impulse to expand. Intensely practical ai the age Is, with "efficiency" for Its motto, some very successful men, wise In their experience, atlll hold to the humanities aa valuable, even equally with tbe more immediately "practical' things that are Insisted upon ai being essentlslly necessary for our advance, The school board should have a little Imagination, a well ai tbe teacher, If It la going to realise Iti full opportunity. Wartime Heroines, The reading world la so well nigh surfeited with itorlei of battles and bombardments that It givea precloui little attention to the saving side of tbe human slaughter. Heroes monopo lise the limelight Just now, but the deeds of heroines are equally valorous and Infinitely more merciful. The humanizing touch given to war by Florence Nightingale Is systematized and modernized by the women nurses In tbe present war, and they perform their duties with the energy, endurance, kindliness and patience characteristic of the sex. Where In former ware hundreda sufficed, now thousands are re quired to co-operate with doctors at the front and In the countless hospitals sheltering wounded soldiers. Pew people at a distance realise the tnacnltude and horrors of the tank. The Intensity of the fighting and tbe variety cf means employed lire an Inkling of (he maimed and mutilated humanity constantly re quiring attention. Thus the trying and aionis iLg work goes on almost day after day, and It Is not surprising that acorea of heroines sac rifice themselves In the service. These are the unsung heroines of the war, whose deeds glorify womsnklnd. Farm i and Government Ownership, Menstor Sheppard of Tetas, proposing a ton stltuttonal amendment to produce tbat will amount to government ownership of farms, makes a mistake that Is altogether too popular, It Is that with the growing number of tenant farmers the Unds of the Tatted Plates are fst falling lata the heads of landlord onr. This bMef arises from a rolssperekmaWiu.

"I am sure they were," replied Mr, Cowell, "for members nt tha family settled In Ohio, where, I un deretnnd, thene Casements cam from." Iyoking up the connection of the Casement with the t'nlnn Pacific, have com acroee some Interest Ins material In the following extract from fieneral Dodge's aount of the rnnatrurtlon of tha flret tran eontlnentaJ railroad; "The entire trsk and a lars pert of the grad ing en th Union Paotflo railway wss dona by tha Caaement brothera, Oeneral Jat-k Caeement and Dan Casement, fleners,! Casement hsd been a promi nent brigade and dlvlelon commander of the weal em army, Their force consisted of 100 teams and I.M0 men, living at the end of the track In board ing cars and tents and moved forward with It every few days. It waa the beat organized, beat equipped end beat disciplined track force I have aver seen, I think every chief of the different units of the forca had been an officer of the army end entered on this work the moment they were mustered out, They could Isy from one to three miles of track par day, as they had materiel, snd one dity Islil eight and a half mllea. Their rapidity In trm'k laying, as fsr as I know, has never been ex elkl, I ued It several times as a fighting fore and It look no longer to p'tt it Into fighting Una than It did to form It for Its dslly work. They not only had to lay and surface the track, but hsd to bring forward to tha front from each base all th mate rial and supplies for the trsrk snd for all the work men In advance of the trsrk, fumes were organised for the delivery of tha material generally from 100 to Sol miles apart, according to the facilities for operation. At these bases I have seen ss many ss l.floi teams watting for their loads to haul forward to th front for tha railway force, th government and for th limited population then living In that country." Mill another reference to th Casements ts con tained III a telegram quoted many times by General f)odg SS tli response from his old general, William Teotimeeh Hherman, to the meaeage wired him on that famous Mey 10, IMS, telling of th completion of the work, which reads ss follows: "In common with millions, I sat yesterdsy and heard the mystlo taps of the telegraphic, battery sn nounce the nailing of the last splks In th Great rsclfio road.

"W, T. 8IIERMAN, Oonrl." I have no means of knowing whether Oeneral Csaement Is still alive, but I rcsll that when h ram out to Omaha, I believe It was for the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Golden Hplk, I met him In company with General Dodge. My recollection I that he was a large, florid-faced man beginning to show his ags, hut hsl snd hearty and decidedly sol dierly In his bearing.

At that time Janaen waa between two hot fires on the silver question, to say nothing of tha compromise which John M, Thurston hsd proposed to open th mints to ths "free colnag of th American product." But our Nebraska man held his ground firmly and with his help th word "Gold" wss wrtttsn Into the platform and th word "Victory" Inscribed on the party banner.
