AM MERlcAN ART.
The Why Men of Means May Promote
Its Advancement.

YnG why MEN OF means mHy frOmote
Its Advancement.
1t is an encouraging theory that all
important art epochs have been pre-
ceded by epochs of great wealth, and
II may well be that the present multi
plication of large fortunes will be the
foundation of more ideal condition
Of society, affording as these fortunes
do, the support of extensive artistic
undertakings, as did those Of Genoa
and Venice. And while 1t would be In
sensate folly to fill our museums exclu-
sively with work by Americans, 1t Is
more and more to be expected that our
artists will profit by the showing they
make in such collections as the COM
parative exhibition of few years ago,
III which they held their own with for
eign masters of the same departments.
The first way, therefore, to help
American art is to buy worthy pictures
by American artists. Our rich men
particularly our new recruits in this
class-should bear In mind that an ex-
hibition of, let us say, the Society of
American Artists has as high a stand
ard of admittance as the Paris Salon
and is likely to contain less trash and
that, purely as matter of investment
to urge no higher motive, it pays to
buy the best American work.
Another way for those who wish by
their wealth to add to the pleasure of
their countrymen is to give or bequeath
portion of it to museum for the en-
cOura cement of native art and tO he
of the highest efficiency such a bene-
faction should be without condition. 1t
is said that In Boston it is not respecta-
bic to die without making a bequest to
Harvard university or the Museum of
Art. Certainly that city has an envia-
bic reputation for the unceasing, ever
vigilant civic pride and solidarity that
made Emerson exclaim of it, "Thou
darling town of oursr'-Century.

>PsYcHoLoGicAE.P UZzLES.-Thesda day
has passed when ,:one may say without
disclosing 1gnorances Of one Of the most
important phases: Of scientific research,
that man has nothing TO- learn from the
study of telepathy, dreams, apparitions,
clairvoyance, prernonitions and like phe-
nomena of the human mind. Many Of the
worlds leading thinkers have come to the
belief that such phenomena offer field
of most vital Importance for investiga-
ton. In short, what have for centuries
been. regarded as superstitions are now
looked to as possible means, of proving
the survival of / bodily death. While
Enigmas Of Psychical Research, by James
H. %E1yslop, Ph,D., ED, is not put for
ward with a view to- proving the future
life from psychical phenomena, it is in
tended to show shat there is something
in such phenomenal, which needs further
Investigation, and. One who reads the
book can hardly fail to accept the show:
ing, If he approaches the subject with an
open mind.
DR.. Hyslop approaches =: his subject
from the scientfflc standpoint. He does
not set out to prove a. preconceived the
| ory,: but. to find truth. It, would seem
that he was exactfng enough to- satisfy
the most fictitious critic, and: even by
such methods he:s finds ground for con
tinuing his .,searchS and many Other
searchers after truth take q like position

besides an expert chauffeur, was first

measures shat the minor cases were re-
stored almost before reaching the hos
pital. The thoughtfulness shown in
the organization Of this service was
Complementary by the skill and preci-
sion with which it was carried out.
Doubtless dozens Of lives were saved
by the immediate removal of fainting
persons to cool hospitals where they
could have immediate treatment:
The emergency service could hardly
have proved the success it did but for
the excellent measures for the preser-
walton of order taken by. the, police
department. The disposition .sof its
forces was admirable. The portion Of
the streets reserved for the parade was
kept we'll cleared Of spectators. The
ropes prevented crowding, and yet peo'
pie who had to get across were taken
care Of at convenient intervals.
A great deal of praise is due also to
the crowd itself. It was orderly, in
terested and entirely free from the
hoodlum spirit. It took the precautions
instituted by the authorities in the
spirit in which they were meant. There
were no complaints, no pushing OF
crowding nor cause for a single arrest

WHY THE JEWS ARE HEALTHY
Nebraska State Journal.

One group of meat-eating people in
the United States has been able to hear
the revelations Of packing house filth
ness and the sale of diseased meat
without the revulsion Of feeling that
comes over those who suspect that they
themselves may have consumed some Of
the filth and disease. The Jews have
never trusted any inspection but their
own, and the beef they have eaten has
| been invariably inspected in their own
thoro way and marked accordingly.
Some of the Jewish papers have felt JUS
tilted in exultng somewhat over the adj
vantage which has been theirs in this re-
spe'ct, and some Of their comment con-
tains suggestions of value to non-JeWs.
Says one Jewish writer: The Christian
method has always attempted to drive
the shambles into the dim recesses of OBJ
security and tried to forget their exist
ence with the complacency of a Mr. Pod
snap. The very word 'shambles arOuseS
a feeling Of horror in the ordinary mind
| far different to the Jewish regulations
| for the preparation Of meat. This is con-
sidered as sacred a task as tending the
sick or preparing the dead for their last
| home. Some of the greatest rabbis have
not been too proud to act as meat in
spectors Of shomerim. Before there
were any such things as societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. the
knife used in the killing of cattle was re-
qufred to be of the most perfect sharp
ness, so that the agony of the animal
should be lessened to the minimum. Be-
fore there was any talk of communica-
ton Of tuberculosis from animal to man.
the Jewish system had elaborated the
method Of bedikah. by which LESSONS in
the lungs were regarded as sufficient
to render the carcass unfit for human
food. 1t is scarcely to be wondered at,
after recent Investigations. that Jews
have been much freer from tubercul sis
than the rest of the world, and that, MS
withstanding the stress under which
they have lived. they have yet retained
the vitality which engages the. wonder
Of the insurance agents.
The claim of comparative immunity
from tuberculosis as a result of care In
selecting meat food is not new one.

Contributions to Success.

The Grand Army parade yesterday
was SO well handled in all departments
that it offers only material for con-
CALCULATIONS to all who had any part in
pushing the work along. Special men
tion should, however, be made of the
police arrangements and Of those for
the care Of the sick. ~e.s. !.
The latter is novelty in street
parades. At least it has never before
been done so Systematically. Automo-
biles carrying the flag of the Red Cross
whisked up and down the streets, in
side the lines, and promptly carried
away to emergency hospitals persons
overcome in the marching line or among
the spectators. With each machine

Secretary Roots Mission,

It is not astonishing that the press
Of some portions Of Europe should mis-
represent the speeches of Secretary
Root in South America. and hint that
there is something back Of the visit Of
the second person in our government to
the Latin republics. It is not astonishs
ing. because from their environment
and education European editors could
not conceive of continental secretary
of state traveling officially, unless he
had something up his sleeve. !,

Wide Locks for the Upper River

Minneapolis is conceded to have
great interest in the Improvement OF
the upper Mississippi for navigation.
All interested in the city's future
progress should therefore join in pro-
test against limiting river traffic for
all time to come by eighty foot locks at
the new Keokuk power dam. It is not
surprising that the big private corpora
ton which will build the $6,000,O00
dam for power development wants to
save money on construction OF the
locks. 1t is bound by it's franchise. to
provide accommodations for present and
future river traffic, but now asks per-
mission to put in locks of the same size
as the old ship canal. They are large
enough for the limited commerce of
the river today, but give no chance for
the larger ships with barges which. will
be necessary for the vast tonnage Of
the future. That tonnage is bound to
come if the river way is made clear, and
| it is for the commercial interests Of the
| upper river to see that no obstacle is
permitted. :, =
The power dam company wants te
put in locks eighty feet wide, the same ! q
as those in the old canal. The standard
locks on the Ohio are 10 feet wide
and the government ought to prescribe
the same standard for the upper Mis-
sissippi. The, commercial bodies Of
Minneapolis should lose no time in max
ing an emphatic protest against small
and Inadequate docks. D..

The Obligation Is Ours.

Minneapolis hopes the old soldiers
are pleased with their visit to this
city. We are all trying to make their
stay here something that they will re-
member with pleasure, and great pains
have been taken to minister to their
comfort and enjoyment. And yet, we
are sure that we express the sentiments
of people generally when we say that
the obligation is ours. We have re"
ceived more than we have given. 10
have seen that parade yesterday is
worth more to the boys and girls of
Minneapolis, many times over, than
all it has cost their fathers or their
brothers to bear the expense and the
labor of preparing for it. 1t may not
be fully understood and appreciated
now, but the time will come when it
will bear its proper fruit. No more
impressive lesson Of patriotism could
be taught than that conveyed by the
long files Of these grand old men who
express in their persons more clearly
and forcibly than can be taught by
exhortation or by precept the idea OF
devotion to ones country.
These are the mon who, when the
country was in danger, rendered on
its altar not only their fortunes, even
the comfort and the welfare of their
families, but their very lives. No man
who enlisted for the war had any right
to count upon survival of its dangers.
These are the men who offered that
sacrifice. They stood for principle when
standing for principle was not deter
mined, as it so often is, by the con-
sideration whether the assertion OF
principle will "hurt business There
were conservatives in those days
but the spirit Of commercialism had
not smothered the heart Of the people
to the extent that it does now. The
most important considerations were
not those of the dollar, and it is wortl
while for us in these times, when 81
little thought is given to anything els'
than the increase Of business and tn
heaping up of money, to welcome tt
our city and to our homes these living
examples of devotion to principle an<
to country, Of devotion to somethin!
more worthy than the mere selfsl
qualification to be served by the amass
ing Of wealth and the indulgences o
luxury. Minneapolis is under obliga
tions to the Grand Army of the Re
public and has derived infinitely NOR
benefit from this encampment than
has been able to confer upon it's mem
bers.

What to Do With a Vacation.

dhe newspaper joke about Brown
heeting Smith, who is just returning
rom a vacation, and telling him he
lays off has, often, basis Of truth:
The late Russell Sage would have said
:hat the condition Of Smith validated
his claim that all vacations were bad
not only for the employer but for the
employee. A more scientific study Of
cease from ones regular labor from
the office or desk. Most men use their
vacations for useless loafng. They as
sociate more or less with people who
have nothing to do but spend money.
They spend more money themselves
than they should, and they return with
a distaste for their work and dissat.
isfaction with their condition in life
which makes the regular job for q
time irksome.
The true note of a vacation is struck
not in absolute idleness, accompanied
by contemplation Of the distressing
fact that one is not rich enough K
loaf always, but in change Of occu
patton and scene, with enough WORK
to keep one in tone. The story of thu
man who took q vacation mendin9
broken-down places about the house il
not necessarily sarcasm on the down
troddena condition Of married men. I
he was an office employee, it is quit
probable that the opportunity to tinke
with tools, to change his job as ofte1
in the day as he pleased and to dro1
it whenever he pleased, was just tn
sort Of relaxation from the grind O
posting books necessarily that he nee6
ed. It likely did more for him tina
an excited week at the seashore.
The vacation is good deal like tn
Christmas holiday. Christmas give
more satisfaction if you do somethin
than if you sit down selfshly and wal
for people to express their sense q
. gratitude to you for living by mailin

stituted by an American secretary Of
state and, while our foreign, minister
has never before travelled out Of his
own country to attend the gathering
there, is no reason why he should not,
if he sees fit. The present time seemed
fit for such call and friendship as
Mr.. Root is making, and the addresses
which he has delivered give every in
dication that the right man seized the
right opportunity. The secretary has
made many friends for his country in
South America, and incidentally has
recalled to the mind of some Americans
what is our real attitude toward the
southern republics. It is neither to
fatter them that we will fight their
battles, right or wrong, nor to under
mine their independence with insidious
suggestions of the benefits of amalga-
nation. 1t is to meet their represen-
tatives as the agents of free, enlight-
ened and equal nations; to tender them
our congratulations on what they have
accomplished and to assure them that
whatever protection from invasion they
may have enjoyed as tthe fruit of the
Monroe doctrine, is not open account
to be paid in encroachments upon their
liberty, but balanced ledger in which
we have received from their trade and
their friendship as much as we have
put into the effort to keep them from
the clutches Of foreign despotism.
The admirable way in which Secre
tary Root has put this proposition
must always remain source of pride
to Americans, regardless Of party.

The Silver Coinage Incident.

The action of Secretary Shaw ir
purchasing silver for coinage into small
change, to meet pressing necessity of
commerce, is subjected by the Wash.
ington Post to the criticism that il
amounts to finging open the minis ,tc
silver and to indorsing the Bryanite
theory that the silver in the treasury
is really money Of redemption.
The situation facing the secretary of
the treasury was q business one, and
he has solved it as a business man.
He is not ttmaking policy il, facili-
tating the coinage Of dimes and quar-.
ters. The policy Of the nation on the
money question, is made by congress.
The facts in this case are. that the
secretary asked congress for silver for
small change and did not get it. There
fore, he used his legal authority, some
what stretching the law. to do. it,: It
is claimed; to purchase silver and give
trade the relief it demanded: : ) 1
Why the secretary did not get au:
thority from congress to use some Of
the silver already on hand is another
story. An attempt was made, in the
house to pass bill which would enable
the treasury to order abraded silver
dollars recoined into small change. This
attempt was defeated by the democrats
and republicans from silver states, who
voted against the suspension Of the
rules and having more than one-third
of the membership Of the house, were
of course successful: :. : -
| Why did they vote against: itf Tc
make the government buy new silve,
and to bolster their: position that silver
is redemption money, And, Of: course
the bulk Of. the republicans voted FOL
the bill, because they Believed: The
whole silver coinage is subsidiary: *
gold and might properly be recoinei
into smaller pieces, which are merel,
counters. !. g. - =
Obviously, no policy has been. de
clared on the question by the action O.
Secretary Shaw. The whole matter i
still to- be settled by congress. Wit!
time. to .5pass a bill without: resort t
suspension Of the rules, doubtless tn
, Republicans will give the treasury jus
the kind of authority it desires, an
the silverites will be as far as. eve
from, disturbing the actual status o
this country. as one whose. money
, based on gold. = -
