GOOD NEWS FOR PosTMAsTERs.
All in Fourth Class in Nebraska Can
Retain Their Jobs.

INSTITUTIONAL fourth class
pOstmasters of Nebraska may rest
fully assured that their services will
be retained for another term of four
years, providing they are proficient
and do not violate the presidents or
der respecting office holding. PERM.
cious political activity will not be
c~ountenanced by the administration.
Postmaster General CortelyOu
stated that the same rule should op-
crate toward all presidential post
masters in the state. This new policy
is likely to create a great deal of
dissatisfaction among the Nebraska
congressman, since the naming of
postmasters is about all the federal
patronage they have to dispense.

The Probation -LN5U.

In HIS annual report Joseph G. Graveur, proba-
tionary officer of the court of Special Sessions of
New York. speaks very highly of the results obtained
through the instrumentalty of the probation court.
This court has been in existence for five years and
within that time it has done remarkable work
in saving first offenders from criminal career. Out
of total of 713 first offenders turned over to Mr.
Graveur probation, not one has proven failure.
All of them leading exemplary lives and perhaps,
saved from becoming enemies of society. Of the
1874 boys who were paroled within the year only
twenty lone were rearrested Ninety per cent Of the
boys arrested were between the ages of sixteen and
twenty one years.
It appears that method has at last been found
which successfully deals with class that easily
drifts into the channels Of crime Severity has been
dealt out to the wrongdoer for hundreds Of years,
and what has it accomplished? Practically nothing,
The probation law has nothing to do with confirmed
criminals. Its object is to prevent first offenders
from becoming SUCH This court is not only pro-
ductive to the best interests of society, but it is
beneficial to the wrongdoer. He who might have
started on a long career of crime and become a
source of great expense to the state, checked in
his downward course and given an opportunity to
become respectable and law abiding citizen.
Minnesota also has probation court. No doubt
the work being done by its wise administration is
as encouraging 1t is in the Empire State. It is
such humanzing infuence-which profoundly i'm
presses itself upon the epoch in which hve-that
shows that mankind is growing better.

CicerO's Famous RetOrt.

The Roman forum often the scene of riot
and bloodshed of brilliant wits and great statesmen
of dgniied proconsuls and famous orators Among
the latter Cicero was beacon light who was sur
rounded by many smaller lights of less brlliancy
When he called pleblan by patrcian, he
gave expression to the following classic sentiment
II am plebian the nobility Of my family begins
with me; that of yours will end with you hold no
deserves to be crowned with honor whose life is
failure and he who lives only to eat and drink and
accumulate money, is a failure The world is no
better for his living in it. He never wiped tear
from sad face-never kindled fire upon frozen
hearth repeat with emphasis, he is failure
Cicero was heather. He, like his fellow Ro-
MANS consulted the oracles as devoutly as modern
stock broker studies his tape. His ideas however,
read like twentieth century philosophy Cicero was
a great orator. and he one of the few who dared
speak in behalf Of imperilled Rome Today he is
remembered while those who sneered at him for be-
ing pleblan, are forgotten Cicero's name,
millionaire, would long ago have been sunk in OBJ
livon but Cicero, the orator. is name that posteri
ty will not eradicate His principles may have been
at variance with correct standards at times but he
believed with all his soul that ability and character
represented greatness, not artfciality, pomp, and
wealth. Cicero was right. Today the same stand
ards used in estimating greatness.

F'ULl0cy of "Crinain0I Zypes."

PROF. EDWARD A. SPITzKA, of Columbia Uni
versity, address recently declared that after
thorough study and investigation of several years he
had concluded that crime could not be attributed to
any deficiency of the brain. The study of criminals
does not necessarily tend to establish criminal type
anything else maintained by the Lombroso school.
Many criminals show not single anomaly in their
physical mental makeup, while many persons
with marked evidences OF morphologcal alteration
have never exhibited the criminal tendency. Every
attempt to prove crime to be due to constitution
peculiar only to criminals has failed finally. It is
because most criminals drawn in the ranks of the
low, the degraded, the outcast that investigators
we're deceived into attempting to set up type
of criminals The social conditions which foster the
great majority Of crimes more needful of study
and improvement; by this means only will crime be-
come less prevalent throughout the world.
Il confident that the classifcations of Grim
inas must rest upon the observation of each ndvid
ual CRIMINAL with his antecedent's history and his
mental and physical condition.
The best of authorities on this as we'll similar
subjects, bound to differ. Undoubtedly the
students of the Lombroso school of criminology
iscs among the criminal class Prof Spitzka is of
their nonexistence. This has been a mooted ques-
ton for many years. Its ramifcations have been
repeatedly explored with varying results. AS yet
insufficient knowledge prevents this subject from
being recognized as science Its theories need
clarifying. The average person would like to be
assured on several points. For instance: Do these
bumps and morphological alterations exist before
or after conviction? If they do exist PRIOR the
commission of criminal transgression it would ap
pear that another social evil is about to be solved

him from ten dollar position to one commanding a
salary of twenty, is going to wait in vain. The man
who is looking ahead, however, usually arrives just
where he had prepared himself to land. 1t is true
that MANY men have had honors thrust upon them
unsolicited. But it must be admitted that the man
who looks ahead and qualities himself for the honors,
is more likely to have them conferred upon him
than is the man who does not look ahead and is un

tinue my voyage at night, but, to my
 complete astonishment, as rounded a
 bend in the stream, l saw about two
 miles distant, in the gray light of the
 early morning, a group of houses crest
 ing the top of hill on the banks of the river. It was evidently an outlying
 European settlement, and made for it
 with all haste.
 "TffIe settlement proved to be a Portu-
 guese trading station. where I was re-
 ceived with the greatest kindness, giv- en an outfit of clothing and placed on
 th& little steamer which made bi-week-
 ly trips to Lorenzo Marques. and was
 due to leave that afternoon for the voy-
 age to the coast The savages did not
 approach the station up to the time of
 my departure, and the Portuguese were
 mystitled at their conduct toward me while in captivity. They were Mata- beles, not Zulus, as I had supposed, and were not prone to treat any of their captives with anything but cruelty. They had been unfriendly with the whites for years, and, therefore, it was surprising that they had even made me prisoner. The consensus of opinion at Durban, however, which I reached
 several days after my escape, was that they had regarded me as some sort of superior being, due to my descent from
 the sky, and also my strange acrobatic garb, but whether an evil or a good spirit they were unable to determine, and were consequently proceeding with sll speed to one of their great witch doctors for his judgment. What it popo, and down which stream we had journeyed until near the tnen little sta- ton of Matgamulin, about sixteen ultimate destination doubtless Intended
