Ancient Wisdom and Modern Experienced
It U sometime! laid that there are only two!
klndi of men tome wear whiskeri and lome
don't Indeed, io far ai oar reipomei to funda
mental itimuli are concerned, there ii little dif
ference between human being. Almost every
one laughi when tickled, reienti being robbed,
eojoyi praise and leeki to better hii condition.
Leu firmly rooted in mankind it the institu
' tka of government The race wai tnillioni of
yean old before the itate at we know it roie.
There have alwayi been rebeli againtt it, and
there hare beea alio thou who act it above all
other considerations, human or divine. - Hence
it ia that though one may gauge pretty clotely
the reaction of another to the older incentive!,
yet in politica and government there ia a never
ending difference of opinion.
' Theie thoughti are provoked by the reading
of a letter from Thomaa Jefferson, written tev
erat yean after hia retirement from public life,
in which he taid: ;.
- Some men look at constitutions with '
4 sanctimonious reverence, and deem them
like the ark of the covenant, too eaered to
, be touched. They ascribe to the men of the
, preceding age a wisdom more than human,
and suppose what they did to be beyond
amendment I know that age well; I be
longed to It, and labored with It It de-
aerved well of Ue country. It waa very like
; the present, but without the experience of
. the present; and 40 years of experience In
government la worth a century of book
reading; and thte they would aay themeelvea
were they to rise from the dead. I am car
' talnly not an advocate for frequent and un- ,
tried changes In law and constitutions. -I
think moderate Imperfections had better
be borne with; because when once known,
we accommodate ourselves to them and find
- practical means of correcting their HI ef
fecte. But I know aleo that laws and insti
tutions must go hand In hand with the
' progress of the human mind. .,
: It is possible to make a point of thia counsel
of moderation without falling into the error of
regarding Jefferson at the oracle which he never
et up to be. There are today men who tee red
at the first mention of the fallibility of the found
ing fathert. There are others who are unwilling
to grant any credit for their work. To both
these classes the wordt of One of the original
leadera may be commended. v , . :'tJ ,

j ; ' 'p Things Worth Kntwfafc
, Aay fool can ask questions, and in Spite of
Edison's evident belief, a man may answer them
and also lack real wisdom. The raw material of
information must be digested before it can be
called knowledge. The human mind loves to
soar, and so perhaps it would be untenable to
attempt to hold that a fact is worthless unless it
baa soma useful application, but still there are a
great many facts that classify under the head,
"Interesting hut unimportant''
Nathaniel C, Fowler, jr .compiler of a num
ber of popular handbooks, has undertaken a
brave, almost a foolhardy, task in a recent volume
? entitled "1,000 Things Worth Knowing.' How
aver useful it might be as a book of reference,
it most emphatically , fa not the sort of vade
secant one would choose for a list of works suit
able for reading on the proverbial desert island.
' Imagine if you will two castaways, each of
whom had memorized these 1,000 facts. In the
effort to while away their boresome existence,
one opens with the paragraph:' "Statistic! vary,
but considerably more than 6,000 buildings are
injured by lightning every year, causing a loss
of about $3,000,000. About 700 people are killed
every year, and more than 800 are injured. It is
said that lightning kills between 4,000 and 5,000
domestjc animals a year, valued at about
S130.000."
; Hia victim might come back with the ques
tion whether or not cats and dogs were counted
in the list of domestic animals, but on the other
hand he might quote from the next set of facts:
"About 90,000 of the inhabitants of the United
States are deaf and dumb, more than half of that
number being born with the affliction." Of this
numbv about 47,000 are males and 43,000
females." " . "
Not to be outmatched in vital statistics, the
first castaway replica: "There were in the United
States in 1918 confined in insane asylums 239,820
persons, or 229.6 in every 100,001 In 1910 .there
were 187,791,.or 204J in every 100,000.M
T .: By way of variety they might turn luting the
seven ' chief virtues, matching these with the
seven deadly sins, the seven corporal and spiritual
works of mercy, with reference also to the seven
i liberal arts, the seven wise men of Greece, the
. seven wonders of the middle ages, ?nd ditto of
the old world sad the new world.' Eventually
the conversation might, if the two held their
tempers, get around to the fact that "Baseball
became the nstional game In IMS, although it
ai played to lomt extent as early si 1S40."
Then they might list the pennant winners, the
rrit fight championi and walking records.
If one of them broke in to tell ef a cham
pionship game he once saw with hit own eyes,
they might retain their unity. But to tslk like
sn intelligence questionnaire Is not human nor
rational Faeti are valuable as they touch on
experience. Rather than listen to "1,000 facts
worth knowing," the average person would
choose to hear something beginning, "Two Irish
men landed in New York, named Fat and Mike."
A Flower's Plea foe Life.
I am juit a flower in one of the parki.
The fresh air, the wonderful aunlight and the
cool water have made me graceful and beautiful
Because I am so beautiful, I. now fear for my
life. -
During the past few weeks, in the itillneii of
the night enshrouded by the shadows of the
bushes and trees, flower vandali have come and
stolen my kin.
And well-dressed men and well-dressed
women have been among them. Some even came
in high-priced automobile.
.Why, the other night one woman almost
plucked me. If it hadn't been for Old Joe, the
night watchman, I wouldn't be here to tell the
story. Old Joe srrested her and I wai told ihe
wai fined by the judge. It wai what ihe de
served. It isn't that, I fear to die. Our days in the
parks are but few, but if we are permitted to live
our full life we can spread much sunshine and
happiness. ' t
When my life was endangered in that smnunt
of anxiety I thought of the little girl who comes
to the park with her mother every evening. Her
mother ii a seamstress and they live in a flat
mj iiarcu i nuwcrs in incir noma ana iney
don't own a back yard. " .
She makes believe I am in her hack vant an4
she tells her mother how beautiful and tall I
am becoming. She lits in the grsis before me

besutiful and graceful
J' Yon see. dear friendi. we flowers ef the nub-
lie parks have a very important mission. We
ipread sunihine and happineis, and are an in
spiration to thoi that aeek the things that are
wholesome and good in life.
' . Every step should be taken to curb the flower
vandals. And, dear judge, when yon get them
in court, punish them. When you visit the parks,
and ai the breezei blow, tee ni bow a tribute to
you.
. We want to live our full life, ever io much, for
the little daughter of the leamstreis, and many,
many others, . .'.'
Plant an Apple Tree.
The Japanese grow their cherry treei for their
blooms rather than for fruit, and the Chinese
likewise have a dwarf apple tree that is purely
ornamental Though our American orchard
treei are besutiful in spring, yet it is solely for
their utility that they are valued. If they are
planted by householders in the city, it is in the
backyard rather than the front
It is interesting to find the dean of agricul
tural writers, L. H. Bailey, calling attention to
the aesthetic features in the initial volume of
Macmillan'i Open Country Series, under the title,
"The Apple Tree." An apple tree that is not
pruned and cared for, but is left as an oak or a
pine tree to grow as it will, is looked upon aa an
unkempt piece of the landscape, he remarks. Yet,
he addi, if the apple tree had never borne good
fruit, we should plant it for its blossoms and its
picturesqueness at we plant a hawthorne or a
locust tree. . . ' .-,
There is indeed beauty In the gnarled and
twisted trunk and branches of an old apple tree.
Iti hardy and rugged appearance seems full of
character, More fruit treei should be planted in
the cities, even perhaps in the parks. The fact
that they are useful ai well as ornamental ahould
be an added recommendation and not a drawback.
iThe Saving Habit
"A man's beit friend it the dollar in hii
pocket," says a pioneer business man who started
with nothing and now heads his own company.
"And the best way to make lots of theie
friendi is' to save. You ean't start too early in

cess.1' . '-,..".-' ' i ' , ' .
The Bee Thrift campaign bai Just closed.
Hundred! of Omaham, young and old, men
and women, boyS and girls, made the first step
toward financial independence.
And perhaps the most interesting of these Is
the little babe in arms, that mite which has been
but 12 hours this side of the Land of Nowhere. r
' She knows nothing of thrift, yet; but as soon
ai ihe learns what pennies are, she'll be putting
them away in her little Liberty bell bank, and
before she's able to realise it, she will have
adopted the habit of saving and have plenty of
"friends," as our successful business men prefers
to call them. v' j :' r y--
Her parents, for itarting her on her way, will
be thanked many timet when she's old enough
to comprehend. 1 ' V
Just one more' thing to be thankful for
those ambassadors of his royal, highness, King
Ak-Sar-Ben, who will now be leading to the
Den their fellow cjtizeni from the towns and vil
lages of Nebraska and Iowa;' are ipared all the
worry of Colonel Harvey over whether to wear
long trousers or knee breeches. Y
While San Francisco ai the true Mecca of
the pilgrimage of Shrineri to the national con
clave there, will derive the greatest benefit and
pleasure from these befezzed gentlemen, Omaha
hat cause to praise Allah, for hasn't the Gate
way of the West been one of the chief oases on
the journey? , . ..
The park commissioner is to have a new
$3,615 automobile in which to tour the parks and
boulevards If council would make him ride a

What with the air mail and the new radio
station for broadcasting government weather and
market reports, it looks like Omaha would toon

If those pHf-box" motorcycle police sub

Fred Brown wouldn't have escaped so easily.

From ' State and Nation
, What We rt Into and Gei Out of life.
Tmm Iba Kaaaae Manuataae.
An Inquiry recently concluded la Ohio shewe
that 41 tr cant of the city folks ware born en
farms, that tl per cent more are sons or deugh
tarn of at least one country parent and that IT
par cent more have at least one grandparent
who waa raised In the country. Trectleally all
the rast. It Is added, trace back to farms in the
fourth generation.
A few yeare ago a friend very proudly com
mented upon the fact that II par cant of the
namae of those persona listed in a certain "Who a
Who" publication In one of our largest cltlea
ware parsons who had been born In the country,
lie asked ma If I do not feel that this waa soma,
thing in which country folks generally should
take great pride. 1 replied that I did not that
while country people might And considerable
satisfaction In the fact that those born and
reared on the farms or in small towns had
achieved large measures of success after going
to the city, there wee another side.
Each year there go from our farms and from
country, towns thousands nf the most capable
young men and women. They go to the cities
and aa a result the country loses them forever.
In the cltius many of them succeed. That ia to
say, they succeed as succesa Is measured In the
cities. One reason that they succeed la that
somehow tt eeeme that they have to overcome
fewer jealoutlee than would have ben the eaaa
had they remained in the country. Commercial
life, "big business," If you please, la quick to
recognise ability and Instead of penalising It
places it at a premium. It le not always ao In
the country. The country boy who shows un
usual talent, who le ambitious and who bids fair
to carve out a place for himself, all too fre
quently finds that instead of receiving encour
agement, which he ehould reasonably expect,
obstacles are actually put in his way. If not
this, it may be that Instead of the home neigh
borhood giving him a "boost" there are those
who, figuratively speaking, are hanging on to
hie ooat tails, hoping that he will pull them up.
If not they will pull him down.
Of course, the cities need this new blood
from the country. Can we, though, efford to
have this drain of our very best continue T Would
It not be profitable for the country to give larger
thought to securing permanently the aid, advice,
counsel and co-operation of mors of these prom
ising youqg men and young women T How la
this to be? Largely,-1 believe, 'by a proof of
appreciation, by willingness to recognise worth
and, in to far as possible, to pay for the ser
vice rendered, but most of all, by the setting up
of right standards and through measures as to
what really constitutes eucoese. Large Incomes
do not always stand for satisfaction, certainly
not for the more durable satisfactions of life.
With a comparatively email income many a man
on the farm or In the small town Is getting more
out of life and giving more In' return than would
be possible on a very much larger Income In the
big cities.
Of course, whether we live at the end of the
lane, whether our hoe be in "Main Street" or the
metropolis, we are only going to get out of life
what we put Into It that and nothing more.
Country communities get out lust what la put
Into them. The beet that can be put Into any
country community la put there by country folks
themselves. The biggest lose that any commun
ity can suffer is the loss of its leaders, those
leaders which have been developed or those
Who may become leaders.
Daylight Saving for Plants.
Hem tot St. Jotoph Non-Prat,
That the number of hours of daylight deter
mines the flowering of plants to as great extent
aa the temperature Is a recent discovery hailed
ea offering possibilities In floriculture.
Experiments have been conducted by physi
ologists of the United States bureau of plant in
dustry and Include the prolonging of winter
days by hours of electrlo light upon the plants
and also the darkening of greenhouses during
part of the long day in summer. Aa a conse
quence, we may have Christmas polnsettia upon
our table in August Iris blooms in winter and
tender spring spinach In mid-summer,
v Many of the experiments are extremely In
teresting. For instance, the common wild aster,
which ordinarily flowers in September, requires
122 days to blossom when grown In the open.
Oiven but seven hours of light dally, It flowered
in 86 days. So with the chrysanthemum. When
the dally light period was reduced upon it to
the length of the autumn days, the chrysanthe
mum hastened to bloom. The poinsettia threw
forth Its red bracts whenever the day's light
was gradually reduced o Its length during the
Christmas season
Many spring flower bloom In the hothouse
In winter, but heretofore the iris has never been
one of them. All winter It grew only foliage.
But when electrlo light was turned upon It in
winter to give Its days the length of those of late
spring or early June, it unfolded its stately blos
soms. Though sunlight upon plants may reach
the Intensity of 5,000 candlepower or more, a
small degree of illumination in the greenhouse
accomplishes the same results.- Strung overhead,
the electrlo light on the Iris had only three to
five candlepower at the surface of the soil, yet
this seemed to suffice. By altering the length .
of the day, plants may be forced to flower in
latitudes where formerly only leaves were pro-
rliina1 . .

The Automobile's Spiritual Value.
From the Ohio Btato Journal. .
, The spiritual value of the automobile lies
the fact that It makes it easy for city people to
take a weekly holiday In the country. We some,

The love of nature is implanted in every nor
mal human being but It. needs must be culti
vated or it will die. Next to religion Itself, if
Indeed it la not so closely allied with religion!
that the two cannot be distinguished, it Is the
most uplifting and satisfying Influence, the great
est inner resource, in the life of man or woman.
Parents who appreciate their responsibilities and
their opportunities do what they can to foster
and develop this natural love in their children.
They are aided by the wise teachers and the good
books but there is nothing like going to the
sources. We see many family parties happily
starting off on Sundays for a few houre on thei'
hills or in the woods and later we sometimes sea
some of them scattered about the countryside
miles away: There must be thousands of such'
joyous little excursions from Columbus every
week and the good they do ft incalculable. But
there might be more. One of the best things
about outdoors is that there ia plenty of room. ;

Sky Signs. 533
From tha Mlnnuota Star. . ,
Letters 10 milee long wrote a name across
the sky over Londoa so that 6,000,000 people
read the words. The enterprise was conducted
by Lord Northclifte, the English newspaper pub
lisher. The words wMca the Londoners read
ia Ue sky were: "Dally Mail?'
An invisible airplane With a smoke-making
attachment wrote the letters in a mighty scroll
which ran 10 miles across the clouds. Lord
Northclifte believes this form of writing across
the eky has unlimited advertising possibilities.
- The prospect Is disheartening. We are as
sailed now on all aides by exhortations to buy
this and that cheap product If the poster and
billboard are going to be carried to the skies,
we want to get out of that part of the earth
where the sky billboards are.
Think of having to read on the clouds a
notice that a certain brand of gum will save
the teeth, calm the nerves and make the chewer
happy; or the equally fallacious announcement
that a yoto for Preue and Harding will brinr
prosperity to everybody.

-The Me of Vanishing Men." by
W. F. Alder (Century) ii an ex
tremely interesting book. It tells
of experiences and sdventurei in
New Guinea, the largest island in the
world, which still containei canni
bals. , Thrse furnish one-half the
reason for the title of the book, the
other half of its implication being
that the cannibals themselves are
"vanishing men;" that is, they are
diminishing in numbers very rapidly,
because of contact with the whites.
Mr. Alder, an American moving
picture technician, penetrated .the
wilder parts of Dutch Guinea, lie
camped in the interior, lived in native
housrt in their villages, and saw the
cannibals idling away their dayt
under the blazing tropic tun. ai he
uyi in characteristic western man
ner, "their mindi ai nude of ideas
as their bodies of covering."
Because Mr. Alder it a "movie
man" there it tome touch of the pose
about tome of the pictures. But, also,
because he it a "movie man," we get
a book that it splendidly illustrated
with photos well chosen. Mr. Alder
writes in an easy reading, perional
ityle and contributci a curious, fas
cinating story, telling of the strange
huts, the weird customs, the daily
life, , the barbaric mutilation of the
men and women, their childish sus
picion and trust of the white men,
the tribal councila he attended, and
the kangaroo . hunt at which he

The 17th volume of Constance

Mr. Frank Tannenbaum, author of
"The Labor Movement," has had re
cently published by Putnam's "Wall
Shadows," a study in American
prisons. This is a book which
ought to be read by every American
interested in what our society does
to its condemned evil-doers. It
ought to be read, also, by our re
formers. This volumne is not for : those
comfortable people who believe, and
would insist on believing, that
America hat been converted to fresh
air, clean rooms and kindly treatment
for prisoners. In his recent tour of
inspection of American penal insti
tutions, Mr. Tannenbaum found
whipping posts, dark cells, solitary,"
men handcuffed to doors, bread and
water, no work for inmates.
There are four parts to the book,
sections dealing with the psychology
of prison cruelty, prison democracy,
some prison facts, and, facing the
prison problem, Mr. Tannenbaum
looks upon prison democracy as the
great hope of American penal insti
tutions. The author has facts; he
treats of the psychology of both the
offender and the jailer; he discusses
past experiments, the present situa
tion and the outlook for the future.
Thomas. Mott Osborne contributes
an introduction to the book.
Now one of the most prminent of
the younger sociolgists, Mr. Tan
nenbaum served a year in the peni
tentiary in 1914 because he led an
orderly group of jobless men into a
New York church to demand work-
Later he graduated from Columbia
t-nivenity with the highest honon in
economics and history.
When Frank Tannenbaum wrltet
it it with an intimate and thorough
knowledge of hii subject. The proo.
lemi he takes up are those he hat
made hii own, , Not only has he
spent a year at Blackwell'i Island,
but since hit release he has volun
tarily lived inside the walls at Sing
Sing, Auburn and other large penal
inititutions. And recently he has
completed a transcontinental tour ot
the country, visiting all the prisons
en route, studying their methods
l and, whenever possible, interviewing
their inmates.

much matter which has generally

monumental achievement of Mr. Har

associated with it in the "Harriman
