A NOTE OF CREDIT.

,bdrs. Margaret e. Sangster, the ACCOM-
plished Editor of Harper's Bazaar.
In the recent publication of poem
entitled "The Help That Comes Too
Late, . by Margaret E. sangster, the
credit was wrongly given to the
New York Tribune instead of to Har-
per's Bazaar, in which it originally
appeared. The reading public has
for years recognized the literary
work Of this gifted woman as APP
pearing through the great Harper
publishing house, and the unfortu-
nate error of credit was mechanical
rather than mental. Mrs. Sangster
has been editor of Harper's Bazaar
good many years. Her conduct of
the paper is upon high lines, and she
is constantly devising new plans to
still further improve it. 1t would be
hard to say whether Mrs Sangster
excels most as poet, writer of
prose or an editor, but to the public
she is best known as a poet. A book
of her poems has been published by
the Harpers, with the suggestive
title ION the Road Home" One of
the poems gives the key of the spirit
which governs her whole life:
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That gives you bit of heartache
At the setting Of the sum-
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out Of a brothers. way,
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say,
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tone
Which you had no time or thought for,
With troubles Of your own,
Those little acts of kindness
So easily out Of mind,
Those chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find
They come in night and silence,
Each sad reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging
And a chill has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And it isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you have undone,
Which gives you a bit Of heartache
at the setting of the sun.
This is Mrs. Sangster's philoso-
ply of life, and, unlike some phi
losophers, she lives up to her own
teaching.
Mrs. Sangster has sweet and Sc
rene face, crowned with white hair,
and steadfast blue eyes that look
out into the world in the kindliest
fashion. Her task as editor of Har-
per's Bazaar, with all the RESPONSE
bility which it involves, is not an
easy one, but she carries it happily
and seems to have no difficulty in
providing publication for women
which is without rival.

The Crocodile as Formerly Described.

- = "a AAACAAS OcoCTAUcUs
The galaxy of lies about crocodiles
found in old books dazzles the I'M
derstanding even of the experienced
reader of medieval natural history.
He is a great worm. He is afraid of
saffron. He eats honey. The croco-
die runneth away from man if he
wink with his left eye and look
steadfastly upon him with his right
eye. He carries water in his mouth
to make the roads slippery and SO
catches people alive. There is an
amity and natural concord between
swine and crocodiles and much more
of the same kind. Herodotus' little
plover, which walks into the croco-
dies mouth and picks off the leech-
es, is changed by Bartholomew into
fish, with crests like saws, and
fowl, and a serpent, all Of which
walk about inside the crocodile's
stomach as if it were parlor, and

made for the purpose OF electing this

spring succeeds fall and fall succeeds

est Office in the state has evidently
made its incumbent for two terms be
lieve that it was something in the way
of a life tenure and that it was no
longer necessary for him to keep faith
with his supporters. The rank and
file who have been gradually boosting
Governor HOlcomb into sight are just
as gradually realizing that he has no
intention Of remembering the humble
agents of his exaltatiOn. The road by
which he ascended to the capitol is
simply the road, and made to walk on.
We fear he will find it uncommon
slippery when he tries to reach the
United States senate.

TO THE STATE CONVENT N.

The republican state convention
meets in Lincoln August 10.
without wishing to be over jealous
in advice, may we ask those who
sit as delegates i'm That cOnven-
ton to give attention to one particu-
lar feature of the political situation
i'm this state. For twenty-five years
the railroads have exercised too much
control over the politics Of this Ne
braska community. Republican dele
gates. you know this to be true. You
know that this railroad influence,
through the use Of free passes, has
bribed and debauched the higher con-
science of all the political parties in
this state. You know that this rail-
road control has become SO bold of late
that for several years man has been
employed on a regular salary bv the
railroads TO distribute passes and 20
manage. control and manipulate the
action Of each political party, in its
StdtC VnC
legislature and i'm the selection of its
candidates for public Office. At first,
years ago. this management of the
states politics was explained by the
railroad officials as a necessity on
their pa t, to ward off the constantly
threatened attack upon the business
and property interests as common
carriers.
For years thousands of highminded
and honorable men, Inundated to see
themselves practically DISTINGUISHED
by this corporation influence, tolerated
it as a lesser evil than the dangerous
anti-railroad element, which, il al
lowed to control, would recklessly
strike at the property of the innocent
nonresident stockholders.
Now. the danger from vicious anti
railroad legislation is passed. There
is no threatening hand raised now. Ii

Merriman, is used in the manufacture

something which does not exist. There

of energy to look for a word which

Dunes of Holland the scene Of the

After the adjournment Of the legisla-
ture and the publication Of the re-
port of the auditor. showing the legis-
lative expenses, there arose so much
unfavorable comment over the action
of Mr.. Schwind in presenting and over
the action of the auditor in approving
and paying the claim Of the secretary
OF the senate for services. even among
the supporters Of the administration,
that Mr.. Schwind felt impelled to pub
lish over his signature an article de-
tending the expenditure. In that ar
ticle he stated that the legislative
session covered period of "a DAYS,
exclusive of Sundays, and the actual
number of working days Of the session
was Il. Mr.. Schwind presented a
claim for l5l days service rendered as
secretary of the senate during ses-
sion covering only 81 days, during 10
of which the legislature was not in
session. This claim was verified by
Mr.. Schwind and in satisfaction there
of he received from the state, upon
the approval OF the auditor, 1904, or a
Der day for Isl days. Mr.. Schwind was
also allowed two assistants in the dis
charge of his duties as secretary and
they each drew pay upon claims ap-
proved BY the auditor for 15l days
service ut the rate of a per day. In
addition to two assistants the sec
Rotary of the senate was allowed a
stenographer at an expense of S34s, a
messenger at an expense OF $3.50, acus-
todian of his Office at an expense Of s246,
a custodian of supplies for the senate,
which were in the charge of the secre-
tary, at an expense OF s2lO. In addi-
tiOn to these items the state paid a
message clerk 1878. and a clerk of the
committee of the whole 1928. For
services in compiling the formal az
ter the legislature adjourned Mr..
Schwind was paid 81 300
The defense of the action of Mr..
Schwind i'm demanding and receiving
from the state pay for l5l DAYS ser
vice, as stated by him in his pub
lished article, was that former secre
taries of the senate had charged for
overtime, as he designated it. A man
charged with theft would hardly ex-
pect to escape conviction and punish
ment upon the plea that other men
had stolen. Mr.. Schwind knew that
he was not entitled to receive pay for
Isl days service as secretary of the
senate when the senate was in session
only seventy four days. The auditor
of public accounts knew that the
claim presented for his approval for
Isl days service by the secretary and
his two assistants was not just and he
knew that it should have been re-
jected; he approved it and drew a
warrant for its payment. The auditor
is one of the executive officers Of the
present reform state government.
In the second term OF his admins
tration, Governor HOlcOmb has ac-
cepted the necessity Of making all ap-
pointments for Holcomb only and has
had distinct understanding with APP
pnintees that his recognition of their
existence and desire for living was
strictly for their support against the
opposition TO him and third term.
There are many indications that he
will need all such pledges. Among
them this very just appreciation of
