A man died in Pittsburgh last week whose life was in inspiring example of what a hard working man can do for himself in this coun try. His name was John Brashear, As a. Jouth he was apprentice to a carpenter. As a oung man he learned the machinist's trade and became a millwright, working at that trade for iwenty-orie years, when a day's work was ten hours long. But that was not all he aid. He becaine in terested in astronomy, the science in which one "thinks the thoughts of God." Unable to buy Mich a telescope as he wanted for observations 'ft the planets and stars he set about making one for himself with a fiveNnch lens. The finest vatch-making does not require such dclieate Jiandling and accurate measuring as the vgrind. ing of aMjch a lens, but John Brashear ac complished it in three years In time spent after his regular day's work at his trade wa3 done. Theft he ground a twelve-inch lens that broke when he was finishing iff But lie started im mediately on another, which was a success. . Meanwhile honors came to him. With no schooling but that of the public system lie be came a scholar by night study, and was recog nized as a scientist of rank He received col lege degrees and won distinction among as tronomers. His financial rewards were net great in the valuable work he did, but his neigh bors endowed him with $50,000 by. a popular, subscription, so that he need not be troubled by grocer's bills, and a friend placed a quarter of a rnllion dollars in his charge to be used (or edu cational purposes. f; He died at 80 years of age, honored, re spected, and famous among scholars. Hard Jvork, frugal living, patience, ambition, a never ?lying determination to do well what lie did, Von htm his career despite his handicap of poverty.- And yes, there was another vastly im portant factor in his growth. He had a de aotefl wife who toiled with him, helped him; 'eft. iottraged him. All hondr to her as yeU'as to jn'ml . . . . , . Muscle Shoals ought to provide an enormous quantity of basic material for fertilizer, o that America should be absolutely independent of Germany or any other foreign source of supply This is one place where a little home-grown propaganda may be of service. Nebraska's Choice for President Accepting at its face value the statement of Senator Johnson that he is not involved in any tie-up or combination for the Nebraska delega tion to the Chicago convention, it is still true that he seeks that which of right belongs to John J. Pershing. This in no sense denies to the California sen ator or any other man the privilege of aspiring to the office of president, nor does it imply that any right of priority resides in a home-grown candidate. What it does mean is that Nebras kans may rightfully prefer their own man to a stranger, all other things being equal. People are coming to understand that John J-. Pershing is something more than a mighty good soldier. He is not only a leader of men, but he is also an organizer and director of a( fairs. His years of training have been well ap plied, and as the public learns of his achieve ments, the work he has so quietly and effectively performed, the call for Pershing sounds louder and clearer, and the movement to nominate him at Chicago grows stronger. Xebraskans will have the greatest opportun ity ever put before them next week. It is rare, indeed, that a state is honored with two strong presidential possibilities, one for each of the great parties. That Senator Hitchcock wilt receive the endorsement of the democrats is admitted. The republicans can afford to do no less for Pershing, and will only be doing the right thing by giving him such a vote of con fidence as will lave no doubt anywhere as to their attitude. A vote for Pershing is a vote to endorse the splendid record of an "American. t The Stock Cornering Episode. f There are two sides to the recent stock mar ket scandal in Wall Street. Certain gamblers Relieved they could depress a stock to their Profit; So they sold it short, which is the stock Exchange phrase for selling a stock for future delivery which the seller does not possess, but ii.'Cpects to go out and buy at a lower figure than he sells it for, and" thereby fatten his bank ao kount. X. In this parUculaf'instance. the men in con trol of the company whose stock was to be a aided and hammered down, were able to pro lect it, which was proper. More than that, they ,ere able to corner it and did so, a highly Ainethtcal anti scandalous proceeding according ,io stdck exchange standards of conduct. The vjresult was that the stock concerned soared to prices three and four times its real value, to the 'ncjute distress of the short sellers, who are now .pleating for help. Short selling is a legitimate function ot the jiiarket in that it saves it from "running away" frequently. But at that end of the game, as well ;s the other, somebody is always getting hurt. The rule against cornering stocks is to keep 'shorts from being too badly hurt, it being the theory that whenever a man is driven out of l'he market for good and all that a customer is 5ost, and Wall Street dearly loves customers. Mn"nBnnniBonBjaaB i Mr. Bryan's Strength. ; Richard Croker's mental condition has been ubjected to legal attack by sone of his chil dren. The old man, now 80. when asked to 'name the strongest democratic candidate for ;he presidency, said: . They have' no strong men, have they? I haven't heard of him. Bryan is the strongest f man the democrats have at present. I don't !; know whether he could be elected, but he 1 will dominate the convention, anyway. Is this the babbling of senility the output of an impaired mentality? Time was whn Dick Crdker was a fine judge of political situations. r$ he still qualified as such? Possibly not;' but iiis remark, quoted above, would hardly subject iny man to a suspicion of weakened mental jower. Mr. Bryan may in truth be "the strong est man the democrats have at present." But that would not imply more than enough power to pull down the pillars of democracy, a la Samson at Gaza when the Philistines were dis porting themselves on the roof garden, of the ,teple to their god Dagon. For Purity of Speech. Tlie campaign that is being opened m the Omaha schools against the. use of slang words and cant phrases deserves deepest considera tion. But it should not be confined to the schools alone. Formality of expression is not sought, especially, but the looseness of the spoken lan guage, or, rather, the fashion in which speech is formed, is shocking. This is said with 'full recognition for the seeming usefulness of col loquialisms or the common and undefined locu tions that pass current in the brief communica tion irten and women hold tdgethfcr in the way of passing greetings during busy days. Trade jargon is somewhat responsible for his, the' aribtrary definitions therein existing affording short cuts to understanding. But the language is cumbered with a great variety of slang words arid phrases whose meanings are not clearly de fined, many of which narrowly miss vulgarity or obscenity,' and any of which may convey much or little to the listener, but all easily substituted by well known, commonly used words. Stilted speech is almost as- objectionable as the lazy habit of using slang, and is certainly as un necessary. OnefoE the betutics of the English language is that it contains a sufficient number of simple word's to convey an ordinary message, to express customary or even sublime thought, and to serve its users in such manner as can not b; improved upon. Let the school children be taughtto speak pure English, and encourage the grown-ups to do the same, and our focial intercommunication, will gain in dignity and. simplicity, and lose nothing of force or service. - Money Saving Always Pays. Money saved and safely invested continues to work night and day, including Sundays, tor those who own it. Neither the high cost of commodities nor the general extravagance, of newly, prosperous people has had the slightest effect on the earning power of money. If any thing, it has been- increased so tar as interest "rates are concerned. Nobody need waste surplus funds because sound investment opportunities are wanting. They are as numerous and attractive as ever. And every dollar a young man puts out to work for him is an additional friend upon whom he may depend. Incidentally, any man's future has more promise if he puts his dollars into good investments. Then he has other men working for him as well as himself.

Once upon a time they were given cutlasses, but in deferehce to public opinion these were recalled. THE blue ribbon for infinitive splitting is awarded this week to the editor of the Nash ville Banner for the following gash: "Pres. Wilson had reference to a supposed propensity to yet in some manner fulfill this desire."

So much for this short skate, GuMaiime Lejaune, who is "neither a doctor, an undertaker, nor a grave digger," but who bids for a place among the Munchausen by claiming personal knowledge of a case of hair turning white in a single night, if he wants likker that bad let him male a the necessary affidavit, furnishing character wit nesses, and he may get th? souse by calling at my country residence (address furnished-. privately), where ha may wallow in b&urbon, Scotch, 8 per cent home brew, or dandelion wine. As for the esteemed "il. F.," who quotes Herren Witthaus und Becker, my doctor, who is a bit choleric and unparliamentary, says that any one who says hair can grow on a corpse is a blankety-blank liar. He scys circulating blood is a condition precedent to hair growth. But how come as we say in Dixie nobody has come forward to prove that an ostrich with its head in the sand imagines itself hidden? With "authentic instances" of everything elao that isn't so from Hindu miracles to Oliver Ledge ghosts the ambitious prevaricators shouldn't hesitate to validate the ostrich myth. CD. For the Tired Business Man. Between snow flurries and a few other weather vagaries that are putting the rjverse English on spring comes the welcome whack of the base ball bat in sharp collision with the twisting pill. The sport page is taking on an interest that rivals that of the budding trees. McGraw is predicting the hottest race ever for the 1920 pentiant. The Omaha team has swat ted the ball .for 16 runs and victory in a dust st6rm at Okmulgee. Really spring is he.'e in all essentials but settled weather. The tired busi ness man is jeady to holler himself hoarse and he late to dinner at the first opportunity. WHILE the offering is good, we will give a bottle of Gordon gin for proof that anybody ever hit the ceiling, or fell over backward, ex cept in a cartoon, after taking one or more drinks of home-made liquor. GREAT FAMILY MEN. THE DEMOCRATS. . (Songer, 111., Item.) The Citizens of Songer have the follow ing tickat nominated: Democrats, town clerk, Floyd Colclasure; assessor, Alva Ool clasure; commissioner, Marion Colclasure'; school trustee, Arthur Colclasure; justice of peace. Perry Colclasure; constable, Clyde Colclasure. The man who pays the freight. (William Graham Sumner.) When you see a drunkard in the gutter, you are disgusted, but yrfii pity him. When a- po liceman comes and picks him up you are satis fled. You aay that "society" has. interfered to save the drunkard from perishing. Society is a fine wprd, and It saves us the trouble of think--ing to say that society acts. The truth is that the policeman is paid by somebody, and when we talk .about society we forget who it is that pays. It is the industrious workman going home from a hard day's work, whom you pass without noticing, who is mulcted of a percentage of his day's earnings to hire a policeman to save the drunkard from himself. AH tha public ex penditure to prevent Vice has the same effect. Vice is its own curse. If we let nature alone ehe cures vice by the most frightful penalties. It may shock you to hear me say it, but when you get over the shock it will do you good to think of it: a drunkard in the gutter is just whare he ought to . be. Nature is worting away at htm to get him out of the way, just as she acta upsjier processes of dissolution to remove what-, ever is a failure in its line. Gambling audi leas mentlonable vices all cure themselves by the ruin and dissolution of their victims. Nihe temhs of our measures for preventing vice are really pro tective toward it, because they ward oft the pen alty. "Ward off," I say, and that is the usual way of 16oking at it; but is the penalty really annihilated? By no means. It is turned into police and court expenses and spread over those who have resisted rice. , It is the Forgotten Man again- who has been subjected to the penalty the clean, quiet, virtuous, domestic citizen, who' pays his debts and hie taxes and is never heard of out of his little circle. Yet who is there in the society of a civilized state who deserves to be remembered and considered by the legis lator and statesman before this man? "PROCLAIMS April 5-19 as 'Clean-Up Week' in City."

WELL, for that matter, did Freddie never read: - "Who that hath ever been Could bear to be no more? x Vet who Would tread again the scene He trod through life before?" Fertiliser or American Uses. . The use of imported fertilizer, especially that 3sed on German potash, by American farmers Should be discouraged, according to the Amcri 'czz. Chemical society, now in session at St. Louis. This body believes that the extensive "sale of the German product was due to extensive propaganda, something that is more or less 6us T.eotiH of proof. People were taught that only ;3n Germany could the precious salt be found, and onee the German government sought to coerce eertain favorable action in America by its control of the potash supply. War exigen cies forced us to turn to our own resources, and INebraska became one of the principal producers M the potash needed. The supply here is far from being exhausted, and it ought not to be discriminated against in favor of the foreign article. Moreover, the huge nitrate plant at A Sensational Tip. A good judge of men once said he never Expected much from a man who kept ait untidy back yard, or a woman whose living room was itsually in a slovenly condition. He regarded a man's premises as a sure revelation of his character. Perhaps he was right, taking men 4s a -rule. But there have been some notable exceptions. Some very great and good men have been very careless of the appearance not only of their homes, but of themselves. But if any man wants to win and hold the good opinion of the women of his neighbor hood, he'd better keep his back yard clean and neat. fte VELVETS HAMMERS Ut) Arthur TVrooks ttaker How to Keep Well By Dr. W.

"Epilepsy remains a most, mysterl ouirdisease in spite of the attention it has always attracted and the atuily it has been given. We need all the help we can gft. The New York State Uuard of Charities recently published a bulle tin written by Miss Smith of the Craig colony. In thin colony there are I. BOO epileptics. Miss Smith in vestigated nine families in which there was an unusual amount of epi lepsy. Jn these nine families there were. 200 individuals into whose health history and habits inquiry was made. Of these Hi were found to be feeble minded. Some of the conclusions to be found in the study are as follows: Inheritance plays a good part in epilepsy. Gowers estimated that it was 40 per cent of the total influ ences causing the disease. Kiaeplln made an estimate of 73 per cent. The difference was due to the fact that Kraeplin took into account more mental and nervous states than did Gowers. Tn this study there was a history of chronic alcoholism in at least one parent or grandparent in one-third of the cases, a history of epilepsy in one-fifth of the cases and a his tory of insanity in one-tenth. It was shown that where there were the weak traits of a poor stock in families where there Vas epilepsy those traits were emphasized. If two neuropathic, neurotic individuals married there was a much more than average possibility that some of the progeny would have epilepsy". The conditions of mental and nervous weakness and inatability out of which epilepsy grew and which were liable to grow out of epilepsy were insanity, alcoholism, the estab lished migraine habit and various convulsive disorders. It in a family tree there was any undue amount of any of these disorders there was likely to be an unusual amount of epilepsy also. Of the cases of epilepsy investi gated 7 to 85 per cent developed before 20 years of age and of this group one-half developed before 5 years of age. Miss Smith divided epileptics into three groups. First the cases which develop early. In this group inheritance is a. consider able factor. Second, adolescents, and third, epilepsy first developing lata in life. The disease among those of the third group is frequently associated with a history ot alcohol ism, syphilis and arterlo-sclerosis. In one-fourth of the cases of opilepsy investigated there was a history or injury at the time of birth. The estimate was made that there are. 175,000 epileptics in the I'nited States, 6,860 being registered in New i'ork City. Mental Cure Advised. H. C. writes: "I am a young girl of 20 and would like to be advised as to the cause of hiccoughs and what can be done to prevent them. L am troubled with them quite fre quently, sometimes a few times a day, and they last from Ave to ten minutes, being quite painful at times. Have they anything to do with the heart, as they seem income in regular beats?" REPLY. Hiccough results from a spas modic contraction of the great breathing muscle. It has nothing to do with the heart. Everybody has a hiccough cure and all are good. Get one from your neighbor and use it. All ordinary hiccough cures depend on the principle that the breathing muscles naturally contract Yuietly fifteen times a minute. If the suf ferer can forget his diaphragm and let his breathing go on naturally with no interference from, his brain the symptom ceases. Yes, Eat Grapefruit. W. H. W. writes: "1 an troubled with constipation or rheumatism. Would you suggest the use of grape fruit for breakfast? Is the acid good for these conditions? I am 83 years old and weigh about 195 pounds." v REPLY. Ealing acid fruits is helpful in overcoming constipation. The acid will not make your rheumatism worse. In fact, acid foods are burned into alkalies by the body. FROM HERE AND THERE. 'Like many other things which ate supposed to be the gift ot progress, rlsh-hatching is an art of great an tiquity in China, the most stationary country in the world. In France noted criminals are made to speak and sing into a phonograph before their discharge from prison, ithat in future their voice may be identified, in case of need. Owing to the high price of cottom of which staple it has more than J. 750, 000 acres under cultivation, Egypt is today a richer country than it has been since the days of the Pharaohs.

Several years later a smauVateam automobile was put on the market by the same com pany and succeeded. Tha graduation uniforms of the cadets at Annapolis cost $720, and this amount, at the rate of $180 a year, is taken from the $600 a year which the United States pays to the youth from the moment he is ad mitted to the naval academy. Various theories have been given regarding the use of orange blossoms as bridal ornaments. The custom is supposed to have been brought to Europe by the Crusaders from the East, the Saracen brides being ac customed to wear orange wreaths at their marriage. There is an old superstition that the swan breaks into song at the ap proach of death. Hence the expres sion "swan song" is often used to refer to a last poem or musical work written just before the composer's death. The expression haa altso been extended to apply to the last speech of a politician before being forced into obsourity. Buddy, Here's Your Rill. Grand Island, Nek.

The president has named his railroad labor board, but the switchmen's fat is in the fire. Mrs. Joslyn has the right idea ROBERT COWELL. Some people patter through the world with out acquiring views concerning vital questions which have figured in the news; but Robert Cowell's not of that unconscionable kind: he harbors in his trusty skull a well developed mind, and speaks with rough and ready words of solid pith and bark on interesting subjects he may happen to remark. On matters of opinion he is usually right, and if the other fellow lacks the true and proper lightthe joy, of Robert Cowell is to rectify his view. He works for the enlightenment of such as me and you, and when our dark and turgid minds are duly clarified he looks upon the fine results with all an artist's pride. When labor meets with capital to slam it on the jaw, in hectic violation of the economic law, he helps adjust the difference with diplomatic tact, abridging the discrepancy of tluory and fact and mollifying all who sit around thp coun cil board indulging in emotions which their health cau ill afford. The problems of our politics receive lus fre quent care, the object of his deep concern, his work as well as prayer.
