Man Contest With Time.
Where it began none can say, for no tecords
go back far enough to tell of the first race man
won. It is quite likely hlLfirst burst of real speed
was engendered by a dJJJifo escape from some
antediluvian monster. The faculty thus developed
led him to trials with his fellows, and from this to
the setting up and knocking over of records was
quite an easy step. .Equally as natural and as
easy was the impulse to test his various methods
of artificial locomotion for speed qualities, that
he might defy time and annihilate distance. This
ambition has for the time found its culmination in
the racing automobile, a rare combination of
power and facility made possible by the inventive
genius of the enlightened man of this day. Omaha
haa had some rare exhibitions of this ability to
telescope time and distance till they seem as one,
the last few days providing some thrills as well
as some-records. Faster than 111 miles an hour
was the speed engendered by one of the skilled
and daring drivers on the track, while new five
mile and twenty-five-mile recorda were estab
lished. Foolhardy these are, perhaps, and of a
quality that makes the sober-minded citizen gasp,
but these ventures are the continuation of that
first race, when man fled for safety, and in all hu
man probability will go on until he realizes his
ambition and some lusty athlete does "the hun
dred in nothing flat"
, , Art and the "Movie," :
Makers of moving pictures, convened at Chi
cago, express much indignation that any effort
should be made by the authorities to curb their
activities. One speaker indignantly calls atten
tion to the fact that in the art galleries hang
many pictures that are not approved of by the
prudish. This is true, but the fact should not be
pleaded in extenuation of offenses elsewhere com-.
mined sgainst decency in the name of art It is
unfortunstely true that the pornographic or mere
tricious play, in drama or film, draws most lib
erally from the public, because people, variously
moved by curiosity or libidinous instinct will
press to tee tuch tcenet. To prohibit thete it
not prudery, but prudence. If a critical observer
wilt only casually scan the programs of the day,
he will find much of reason for a more strict
oversight of the producer's activity. It ia not
a question of art at the moving picture houses,
but of cleanliness. Here are gathered the indis
criminate assemblages, in which a large percent
age is made up of children and adolescents, in
capable generally of interpreting what I por
trayed on the screen. If they are to be taught
sex lessons, the instruction should be given at
home or in the class room, and not under the
circumstances where it is most frequently ob
tained. - Censorship that will procure clean pic
tures will help the business, and will not harm
either art or artist
Federal Aid for Good Road.
If it works out as expected, by all the odds
the greatest force ever harnessed for good roads
In the United States will be set in motion by the
federal highways law signed a few days ago by
President Wilson. Through this agency the na
tion and the various states are to unite In formu
lating and constructing permanent roadways , in
place of the haphazard work now in vogue. " '
: The federal good roads law will not super
sede or modify local plans for permanent road
ways, but simply backs up, with a federal ap
propriation of $75,000,000, the expenditure by the
states ot a like sum in the aggregate in the build
ing of durable roads planned by atate highway
commissioners and approved by the secretary of
agriculture. In effect the law provides for a co
operative plan of road building, and an equal
division of the cost to the extent of the federal
apportionment to each state..'.. This means a total
expenditure of $150,000,000 for permanent road
ways in the next five years, provided each state
does its share. Besides the fifty-fifty split with.
the states, the measure carries an additional $10,
000,000 for the building of roads through national
forest reserves.' - x
Nebraska's possible share, under the appor
tionment, amounts to $l,660,50ff; Iowa, $2,260,500;
Kansas, $2,231,250; South Dakota, $1,256,250;
Wyoming, $956,250, and Colorado, $1,302,000,
total of $9,766,750 for these six states from the
federal treasury. An equal sum, or more from
western state treasuries will give good roads an
irresistible forward movement in the coming five
years. The penalty for the failure of any state
to qualify is that its people would thus be paying
for the roads built in other statea and get no
direct benefit in return.
. . . Reading, and Real Wisdom.
Of John H. Clarke, nominated by President
Wilson to succeed Judge Hughes on the bench of
the supreme court of the United States, it is writ
ten; ."He is a bachelor, and has devoted most
of the leisure hours of his life to reading." This
is an earnest that he' has a mind well stored with
useful knowledge, as well as a complete' grasp of
the more elegant things that are set down in print
these days.. "Reading maketh a full man," now
as ever, and no man who is not widely and deeply
read may lay claim to that scope of understand
ing, profundity of knowledge and soundness of
judgment essential to determining the right But
is this a sure precursor of wisdom? "Knowledge
comes, but wisdom lingers," says the poet, "and'
he bears a laden breast, full of sad experience."
Knowledge may be gained through reading; it
consists of learning and often takes the form of
an unwieldy and sometimes uncorretated mass of
information. Wisdom is not gained by studious
application alone. It comes through experience
gained by daily association with the world. The
sage must know not only the books in his library,
but the ways of man as well. He must read the
book that ia not printed on a press, and under
stand it, too; or he has not attained to real wis
dom.. The judge may be learned in the law, "full
of wise saws and ancient precedents" but he must
also have the human, quality that can not be ac
quired in the study, or he will lack something. For
the law is. coming to partake of humanity, and
will more and more be tinctured by the flavor
of man's relations to man, and less of abstract
theory, until "sweet reasonableness" is established
in all its gentle sway. ' It is' not enough to have
spent leisure hours in reading, for "the proper
study ot mankind is man.

THE description in the cable dispatches of the
observances this year of the French national
holiday by a military review and the pres
entation of parchment testimonials to the families
of fallen heroes interested me more especially as
recalling the celebration of July 14 in Paris just
twenty-five years ago that I happened to attend.
Then, as now, the central part of the program
was a review of the troops by the president of
the republic President Carnot, in place of Presi
dent Poincare of today and with an exuberant
gayety in strong contrast with the sober solem
nity of the present. The French celebrate July 14
as we do July 4 as their natal day of indepen
dence, it being the anniversary of the fall of the
Bastille, but abroad they make use of the oc
casion in a more effective way than we do. When
I was there, for example, there was a complete
official schedule of events, included among them
the dedication of a beautiful new - street that
had been laid out and improved, the "Avenue de
la Republique," and also the unveiling of a statue
of Danton on the Boulevard St Germain. There
were flags and decorations in profusion and band
concerts and illuminations (no explosive fire
works), and as a cap-sheaf, that characteristic
feature of Paris jubilations, the ' street dance.
Even then, in the display of the flags of all
nations, no monopoly being claimed for the tri
color, the utter absence of the German flag was
noticeable. As to the military, review, my notes
have it that there, were 30,000 troops in line and
no less than 200,000 spectators . on the Long .
Champs race course, where the parade took place.
People who have been taking it for granted
that the European war will produce its most
radical changes in government in Germany
ought to read a book, of which I have been fur
nished an advance copy, called "The Problem
of the Commonwealth, written by L. Curtis, a
Canadian publicist, outlining what the author
believes to be the irresistible drift toward a re
organization of the British empire, essential to
make it self-governing. This work, it is ex
plained, is a reflex of the thought developed even
before the outbreak of the war by the so-called
Round Table groups in Canada, New Zealand,
Australia and South Africa, and also later in ihe
home country, whose members saw confronting
them the question whether the provinces
should become independent governments or
should have a full share in the imperial sover
eignity. Emphasis is laid upon this point, which
has generally escaped attention, that respon
sibility for peace and war in the British empire
has nowhere been assumed except by the people
of the1 United Kingdom who alone control all
the foreign relations and maintain exclusive di
rection of the army and the navy. To be more
plain-spoken, we are reminded that the present
war was taken up by Great Britain without con
sulting the dominions and provinces, who have
been permitted, however, to tender their aid in
men and money and have done so because they
believe their interest is likewise involved, but by
no legal compulsion. But neither Canada, Aus
tralia, South Africa or any other British posses
sion not represented in the British Parliament will
have a word to say about bringing the war to a
close or about the terms of peace, though the
peace treaty may decide their weal or woe.
Mr. Curtis' whole contention, is that after the
present object lesson long continuance of this
condition will be intolerable. He points out the
powerful leverage for securing a greater share
in the government in the tremendous obligations
incurred through the conduct of the war, for
there is no way under the present British consti
tution to make the colonies share the colossal
war debt or even contribute in taxes toward the
interest charges, but with their own consent, so
the reader is left to draw the inference that a
concession of full participation in their govern'
ment may be exacted as the consideration for
taking on their share of the burdens. If that
were so, we would have the reorganization of the
British empire coming back to the slogan of our
American revolutionary fathers when they an
swered King George with their defiance, "No tax
ation without representation."
The difficulty in the way of solving the prob
lem of the commonwealth, disclosed by critical
reading of this work, lies largely in the satisfac
tory construction of an imperial council or par
liament. Membership would naturally have to
be apportioned on some acceptable basis, either
arbitrarily or according to population or voting
strength. If the mother country, however, re
tained preponderance of the membership, the
dominions and provinces, even though enjoying
speaking privileges and votes, would'be as much
subjects as before, and if the way were left open
for the provinces and colonies in the course of
their more rapid growth and expansion to secure
a majority of the imperial council, the ruling
sovereignty would eventually be transferred from
the United Kingdom whenever an issue arose that
forced such an alignment I take it here will be
the sticking place for a long time.: Yet this, be
yond dispute, is the direction of the evolutionary
movement in Great Britain which is sure to be
quickened by the conclusion of the war.
It was the sudden crash of war that woke the
people of the British dominions to a realization
of their status as British citizens, and as what
Mr. Curtis says on this point impresses me as
equally applicable for us, let me make a few
abbreviated quotations:
"A state is a community, claiming an unlim
ited devotion on the part of each and all of its
members to the interest of all its other members,
living and yet to live. One person cannot recog
nize two such claims because sooner or later
they are bound to conflict A South fncan, for
instance, cannot allow a concurrent right of de
ciding whether he, individually, is at peace '-r at
war to exist both in the government of South
Africa and in that of the British commonwealth.
When war was declared in the king's name, the
German government recognized that British citi
zens ?n every part of . the commonwealth were
involved. No foreign government was in any
doubt on the matter and to alter thit position the
South African government would have been
forced to make some positive declaration. They
must have ordered all South Africans to regard
themselves as at peace with Germany and there
fore to fulfill the duties of neutrals. Lacking the
physical means of compelling British warships to
leave their ports, they must have forbidden mer
chants to provide them with coals and provisions,
but most of these merchants could have claimed
that as British citizens, they were at war with
Germany and not merely entitled, but even bound,
to give aid and comfort : to British ships. As
British citizens they would have claimed that the
imperial government not that of South -Africa,
was alone entitled to decide the question of
peace and war so far as they were concerned,
and the law would have been n their side. To
reconcile a common citizenship - with allegiance
to two different states is no more possible than
to construct a triangle of which two sides are
together less than the third."" - -' -
This last sentence is the unanswerable argu
ment for "undiluted Americanism" and "undivided
allegiance," and- there is no middle ground.
