The Dread Disease Pneumonia.
nm the Nebraska state journal.

We spend time and money in fighting the
white scourge. and one of the important
measures proposed for the Iowa legislature
to act upon this winter Is the founding of
a state hospital for consnmptives. Yet II
is doubtful IL this disease can lay claim to
a larger number of victims than can pneu-
monia In the presence of the rampant
pneumococcus the physician is practically
helpless The question of recovery seems
to be whether the patient Is strong enough
to bear with the poison produced by the
germ until that poison is strong enough to
KIN the germ itself. 1t Is duel to the
death between patient and germ, and IL the
patient would win he must begin to train
long before he has any suspicion that the
struggle is coming. In other words, he
must keep in good health.

Franklin and Pennypacker.
From Golfers $.

Benjamin Franklin's greatness has been
mildly celebrated this month, in comment
Grafton of the two-hundredth anniversary
of his birth. Not much has been done, and
q few like the good Puunypacker, think
Franklin's occasional departure from the
narrow path makes him unworthy of seri-
Gus consideration. Not all of us, however
are as "unco guid' as the governor of
Pennsylvania, who may have every virtue
except those pertaining to the office which
he assumes to fill. Franklin is the most
many-sided figure in our history. He
stands without an American rival in diplo-
macy; his autobiography Is one of our
few books of world Importance; he Is one
of the brilliant minds of science, and
myriad are the lesser ways In which his
exact and untrammeled brain expanded
into usefulness.

Wall Street and Law.
IN the Wall Street Journal.

FtOm The WaH Street Journal.
Wherever Gov. Folk goes he breaches
the doctrine of obedience to law. This is
good doctrine. 1t is the same doctrine that
President Roosevelt has made the basis of
other doctrine that is so indispensable to
the institutions and investments of Wall
street as this. Without law and without
enforcement of law Wall street as finan-
cial center could not exist single day.
How strange ii is, therefore, that so many
financial interests consider themselves SUI
perior TO law and take measures to evade
it's penalties whenever the law interferes
with their plans.

Blackmail Becoming Too Easy.

From the New York Evening Post.
A combination of wealth, notoriety and
loose living makes some of our society
people peculiarly vulnerable. Their reck-
less dissipation is curiously accompanied
with a craven dread of exposure A plutoc-
racy has not yet dared to assume the
prerogatives of an aristocracy of birth.
The result is that, with a standard of liv-
ing no higher than that of England and
the continent and a much greater fear of
criticism, plutocracy is singularly help
less before the assaults of blackmailers of
all degrees. Blackmailing has, In fact,
become so ridiculously easy occupation
that we seriously doubt IL any gentleman
of good intellectual parts should con-
descend to pursue it SO long as the higher
forms of burglary and forgery still offer
a career open to talent.

Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-01

The record Of the old year has been
made. What is the outlook for the new
year? That is the question that is upper
most in the mind of everybody who
thinks at ali on the proposition. OPP
timism is the word that fits the present
condition, so far as this country is con-
cerned. We are entering, as country.
upon a new year. with all the conditions
favorable to the progress and prosperity
Of our people. What these conditions
are everybody understands. They are
not absolutely bound up in our great
crops, splendid as these are, but are
also in the great educational and social
progress which we have made.
Today this progress is beyond any
thing that was conceived OF a decade
ago. The man Of twenty years ago who
said that Omaha would be the city it
Is today would have been laughed at.
Yet Nebraska and Omaha have been
steadily growing. and Omaha never
more rapidly than within the last two or
three years. So far as our own people
are concerned they must appreciate
what the year that has gone has brought
them and at the same time understand
what the benefits of that great fruitage
means. For Nebraska it Is hundreds of
millions of dollars.
No one can foretell the future.
Whether or not the crops of next year
will he more or less than they have been
in the year that ends today, no one can
say. But of this we can at least be sure,
that this great land Of ours, enriched in
every way by the bounties OF nature and
absolutely beyond any danger from in
ternational difficulties, will still be the
first among the powers of the earth to
exert it's influence in the interest of in
ternational peace.
The new year brings with it no
grander assurance than that of the
American republics devotion to the
cause of the worlds peace.

foundation for the statement. A great
many people like Mr.. Mathews and feel
sorry for him, but public sentiment is

that he was a little harsh with Mr..
