The Bale of Unreason.
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. Mt tf
tke tenantry va fsrma today Is due lo the fact
that the eweer has rih4 a time uf life when
he no Uagr ft like engaging In the aiduous

DIHCt;nsiNO tha revolt In Ireland and the part In
It played hy Hlr Rofer Casement brought Ihd
obaorvaUon by Rfibert Cowell, whlla w wete
walklnf down tha street tho other day, that the Csen
ment fmully liad on branch tn the Isle of Man, Mr.
CowcU's old hirne.
"I wonder If the Caaemente who were prominent
In the bulldmtf of th t'nion Psclflo are in any way
rtlsted to this Hlr Roger Caeement?" I anliid.
"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. Indeed, sm I It friend? yea. Yet
am I a part of It for, as early as 1M, I wss vice
president of the effort begun tn Hsn Prsnctsoo un
der the oontreet of Robinson, Seymour A Co, As
soon as Oeneral Thomas makes certain preliminary
Inspections in his new command on th Pacific, I
will go out, and, l need not say, will have different
fanllltlea from Ihst of IMS, when th nnly way to
California was by sailing around Cape Horn, taking
our ships IM dsys. All honor to you, to Dursnt snd
Jack and Pan Csaement, to Reed and th thoueand
of brav fellows who have wrought out this glorious
problem, spit of chsnges, storms snd even doubt
of th Im-redulon, snd sll th ohetscles you have
now heppHy surmounted.
"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. Oeneral Dodge's book repro
duces a photograph of him with full beard, but plainly
taken when h was own younger,
Of all th sixteen delegst choaen to repreaent
Nebraska republicans In th coming Chlcsgo conven
tion, Peter Janaen alone enjoys the distinction of hsv
Ing bean a delegst to a republican national conven
tion once before. He was a member of th Ht, I-oul
convention which nominated William McKlnlay lo
ISM, when he served on ths resolutions commute and
helped make the platform, which was the only real
fight there, Inaamuch aa Mark Henna had the votes
for president nailed down before the gaval tapped Its
call to order. 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.
Whenever Teter Janaen la In svidenca and my
friend, Arthur C. Smith, is around, the "colonel" ifor

"With apologies to the Danes!"
Pack of this Is an Incident dutlng bofor my time
whlrh, arose over nm reference In The Hre to some
thing Peter Janaen had said or done. Janaen wrote
a rejoinder, taking exception partlculerly to the mla
epelllng of his name "Janson," which he said was

am as would a Dan. Th lie promptly msda th
correction by printing Mr. Janaen a letter, but turnvd
