"sECTIoNALISM"

Henry Watterson's protest against
''sectionalism," in his address at
Brown university, is a note in harmony
with the spirit of the times. But Sec
tionalism, although an obstructionist
force, has, in fact, been so broken and
weakened within few decades that
in most practical situations its battle
with progressive Americanism is no
longer doubtful. but universally as

There is an almost immeasurable gulf
between the state Of mind which about
the time of the adoption of the ma
tional constitution led citizens of New
York TO refuse to permit New Jersey
farmers to sell firewood and produce
in the city market, or later caused the
southern states TO stop the national
mails, and that which now demands
national regulation of interstate com
merce, national meat inspection and
pure food laws. Sectionalism at bot.

the top phases.

CLEAN AND PURE.

Public sentiment is worked up as
and food and drink supplied to the
people shall be clean and pure. Re
cent disclosures following persistent
agitation has aroused the public mind
to sudden realization of the unneces-
sary filth and dirt which people have
been compelled to absorb in their daily
meals because of neglect or indiffer-
ence to The quality and methods of
production. The result, as everyone
knows, has been a general awakening
to the need of laws requiring re-
enforced inspection, stricter regulation
and better sanitation of the establish
ments in which food products are pre-
pared, together with heavy penalties
on any infraction menacing the health
of either the operatives employed in
production or the consumers who pur-
chase the product.
But while we are holding up our
hands in horror at the filth that has
been taken into our systems in impure
food and drink, is It not time also TO
pay attention to the filth and reeking
dirt constantly poisoning the public
mind and sapping public morals in the
form of unclean tales and impure pic
lures in the sensational yellow jour
nails? While few people have had

dom to write and speak is guaranteed
by the bill of rights. Each man or
woman responsible for a household of
his own must act as inspector or
censor for himself and judge what
reading matter is clean and pure and
what filthy and degraded.
Surely the selection of the reading
for the home, especially of the home
newspaper, should be made with as
much care and as much precaution as
the selection of the food which is to
go on the table.

YOUNG ARMY OFFICERS PAP.

AOONo anu VT HAObAhS RAJ
General Corbins deprecatory state
ment to the graduating class at West
Point. that the young army officers
must for the next five years work for
lower pay than is earned by carpenters
and bricklayers, deserves the criticism
which 1t has promptly received. The
assertion is not true in point of fact;
for, while for a limited season the pres
ent extraordinary wages in the build
ing trades In large cities may exceed
that of fresh West Point graduates in
army service, the average pay" of the
latter exceeds that of the former.
If the term pay be narrowed to mere
money wage, the fact remains that the
United States government, which is a
good paymaster, gives its young officers
guaranteed employment for life in
good times or bad times. with many
additional allowances equivalent to
money. Beyond that, however, is the
opportunity and certainty of promotion
with larger emoluments, honor and in
huence, which should be reckoned in
the compensation.
It would seem more At II General
Corbin, instead of enlarging upon the
ingratitude and inequity of the govern
ment, had emphasized the great debt
and obligation every young officer owes
to the nation. 1t had supported each
free of charge for four years, while II
was giving him a magnificent educa-
ton which would insure lucrative en-
ployment IL at any time he should leave
the military service.
Whether the mere money remunera-
ton of our army officers be adequate
or not. the fact remains that 1t is
larger than most foreign governments
pay, and in any event the nation opens
to the young officer a career, If he is
OF the right stun and appreciates his
advantage, which falls 10 the fortune
of but very few.

NrBRAsKA IN THE SENATE.


It will soon be forty years since Ne
braska was admitted into the union.
In those forty years Nebraska has
been represented in the senate from
time to time by various men whose
abilities commanded recognition for
this state in the councils of the nation
Among the FIRST senators who intro
duced Nebraska into the capitol at
Washington was the late General John
NJ. Thayer, who rendered honorable
and noteworthy service to the people.
The late Senator Paddock was an in
dustrious and effective worker in the
public interest, although by no means
attracting the attention accorded to
General Van Wyck, who succeeded him
and whom he In turn again succeeded.
General Henderson, during his sena-
torial career. brought distinction upon
Nebraska, as we'll as upon himself, by
his elevation to the position Of presi-
dent Of the senate. Senator William
V. Allen. although attached to a min
ority third party, was recognized as
one of the ablest constitutional lawyers
in that body, and Senator Thurston's
brilliant oratory overcame his mistakes
of judgment.
without disparaging the more recent
senators, ii can be truthfully said that
Nebraska has at various times set a
relatively high standard for its repre-
sentation in the senate, and there is no
good reason why the highest standard
should at any time be lowered. Our
senators cannot all be brilliant orators,
or experienced parliamentarians, or
thorough-grounded constitutional law
yers, but they can and should be the
most representative citizens Of whom
the commonwealth boasts.
Nebraska is not behind other states
in men of recognized achievements and
commanding ability-in men who are
experienced in government affairs and
we'll versed students of public ques-
tons II Nebraska is careful to send
senator's to Washington who will give
| the state a standing among other
states and In whom all can take pride
we raise ourselves in the public esti-
nation. II, on the other hand. Ne
braska prefers to experiment with UNI
knowns, or to commission mere agents
of the great corporate interests, oul
| prestige is sure to suffer. while othel
states take the lead in accomplishing

Baltimore American: Dowie has seen At

factory explanation Of how he induced

Chicago Chronicle: The English bishop

Gently and told his astonished hearers that
If Christian churches got rid of some OF
their egotstical belief In their own In
fallibility they would probably get such
fund OF instructive lessons as would make
for the federation OF all those who are

Wichita (I<an.) Eagle: We attended
church some time ago and listened to q
very good sermon, as sermons go. We en-
joyed the singing and stood up with the
brethren and sisters while they sang the
good old hymn, shall We Know Each
Other There?" While the hymn was being
sung we glanced about us and counted
about a dozen members of the congrega-
ton Of the church who do not speak to
each other when they meet on the street
or elsewhere. The thought occurrd TO us:
Why should they know each other there"
when they seemingly don't know each other
here?
New York Post: Mother Eddy Is in one
respect more powerful than President
Roosevelt. She can refuse to see "delega-
lions" Hundreds Of the faithful went to
Concord yesterday, but were resolutely
shut out Of what Mrs Eddy calls her
propria persona. They might inspect the
local Christian Science temple, but could
not gaze upon her. Is all this studied in
order to deepen the mystery and so the
magnihcence? or is it simply display
Of "a,
venience? Any ordinary person might, in
deed, be excused for not wanting to hold
sweet converse with 800 Christian Scientists
at once, but Mrs Eddy could give them
bathos for bathos. and is supposed to
rather like that sort OF thing. Her per-
sistent secrecy will, however. give rise some
day to the suspicion that her real name
Is Mrs Harris, or that she is nothing but
a literary bureau or a syndicate.
