MILLIONAIREPHOBIA.

Chancellor Day of Syracuse univer-
sity again comes back and denounces
warmly in the forthcoming issue of
Leslie's, the mighty spasm in which
the country seems at present to be
involved, and which he terms mil
lionairephobia." He says in part
For some time we have been in the
grip of this mighty spasm over cor.
porate wealth and swollen fortunes.
These current phrases are from high
sources. All of our national ills are
being stated in this formula Down
with the rich! Puncture the swollen
fortunes! Make the rich poor and all
the poor will be rich! Destroy the
corporations, hamper them, obstruct
them, sue them in the courts! Assail
them in the press! Tie the strings of
the Lilliputians to them in congress
and bind them and the individual can
have a chance!
MAKE the returns of great business
es sufficiently small and uncertain by
petty legislature restrictions and con-
troll and we shall not be troubled by
the genius of Rockefeller, Hill, a
Morgan, a Carnegie, an Armour or a
Swift. The little men will be big
enough for the little things remaining
to be done. 1t is a crime for several
men to have developed the power of
giving employment to $4,000 or 100000
men"
Fortunes are not the only things
that have swollen, he says, but sal
aries and wages as well, while hours
of labor have shrunk, which is an
other way of swelling wages. He says
the men who would reduce these for
tunes had nothing to do with swelling
them and could not manage them If
they had them; that those who are
chattering about predatory wealth
would not refuse to take over corpo-
ration stock, even in Rockefeller pro-
portions, Destructive regulation should
be preceded by government ownership.
If the government owned the property

take the consequences of our blunder.

He adds: Probably no men in this
country are more disqualified for the
control and supervision of the corpo-
rations or swollen fortunes than the
majority of legislators. Any PROPOSE.

YOUTHFUL INDIFFERENCE.

1t Is an axiom that in the final test
a mans rights depend upon his strong
right arm. 1t seems sad common
tary on government that this is true
but nevertheless it proves the case
The offender may be called to account
and he may be punished if-and here
comes the changing mode of public
opinion-the court or jury do not find
justification for the deed The man
who goes to law to maintain his rights
receives about the same consideration
that boy receives, who tells his
teacher.
Boys interfere with the operation of
a theater managers business, but when
patience ceases to be a virtue and he
elects one of them, then a court says
he must suffer pecuniary loss.
Youths under twenty are too much
In the habit of rushing along head
downward, brushing aside whom they
will, and without considering the
rights of society. And when the law
fails to protect the public from this
youthful Indifference and ruffianism,
the public must protect itself. That's
only fair.
Dwellers inside any city or town
will bear out the statement that 1t is
practically useless to attempt to raise
fruit on their premises. Ruthless, in
considerate youths, apparently itching
to do damage, strip the trees Of their
products just as they strip flower
bushes in the spring time. And the
public endures it with the thought that
boys will be boys"
There are boys and boys. Every
body's boy is all right, but everybody
will admit that there is heap of dew
ilment in the neighbours offspring.
The fact that they are boys protects
them from many an assault where a
man would be attacked. But human
endurance sometimes fails, patience
ceases to be a virtue, and something
violent happens. When that some
thing does happen, it depends upon the
opinion of jury or a court as to the
justification, whether or not punish
ment shall be melted out to the man
who lost his temper.
And when the mischief and disturb,
ance and "Cussedness" of growing
youths becomes uncomfortable to the
public, either the law should take
speedy action to demonstrate that it
means business in protecting the pub,
lie, or it should acquit the man who

81 predict" he says in conclusion,
that we are passing through an epoch
that will stand In future times to our
everlasting disgrace and shame. We
are phenomenally blessed by provi-
dence. We are steadied by the calm
confidence and signal ability of the
greatest men ever known in the com
mercial world. But If this mania con-
tinues, 1t Is not far on to a crash that
will carry down all confidence, con
fuse all property rights, block the
wheels of all progress and wreck not
only the millionaire's fortune, but the
laborer's cottage. The demand of the
hour Is control of the controller. Swol-
len fortunes are thousand fold less
dangerous to our land and people than
swollen demagogy."

The methods of holding federal court
In this state are very much Of farce
which In effect at least are that court
is held in but two cities, Omaha and
Lincoln. Norfolk Is n federal court
town with n 100000 court house In
which to hold sessions, well furnished
and equipped for that purpose, and
yet not single real session of federal
court has ever been held here. Two
terms of court are scheduled for Nor.
folk during the year, but the nearest
that we have ever come to 1t has been
when the Judge and their officers oc-
casionally arrive in the city on late
train at night, pay a visit to the court
room and have the bailiff announce in
stentorian terms that court Is now ad-
journed, then leave town on the first
train out. While this Is a farce yet
1t maintains the letter of the law II
not the spirit The matter is now ag-
itating the Nebraska representatives
In congress and 1t begins to look as
though things might be different after
awhile.

BISHOP M'CABE.

Bishop McCabe, who passed away
in a New York hospital Wednesday
morning, following an attack of apo
plexy, was one of the most prominent
men in the Methodist church, and one
of the most loved by the people of that
denomination. Several years ago
when he was in Norfolk presiding over
a district conference, he made hosts
of friends in this locality, who will
sincerely regret that his useful life
has been brought to an end. Bishop
McCabe became known formerly as
chaplain" McCabe because of his SER
vice during the civil war in the One
Hundred and Twenty-second regiment
of Ohio volunteers.
After the war he acquired a national
reputation by his lectures on army life
and his book, THE Sunny Side of Lib
by Prison." in which institution the
chaplain spent four months.
His conversion was in the old Zion
Methodist church in Burlington at l
O'Clock January l, 1851, after a most
exciting revival . His mother Is bu-
ried there.
Deceased was born in Athens, o.,
October IL, 1886. He entered the Ohio
conference of the Methodist church in
1860, and two years later became chap
lain. He was captured in the battle
of Winchester and spent four months
in Libby prison. His experiences as
a prisoner of war were later recounted
on the lecture platform.
Following the war he became pastor
of the church in Portsmouth. o., and
later was associated as assistant Sec

WHITE FLAG AT WHITE HOUSE.

Well, President Roosevelt has
backed down Reformed spelling Is nc
more enforced from the white house
II was several moons ago that an
order from oyster Bay came out to
the world In favor of reformed spell
ing A list of 800 words was sent to
us from the president, and the public
printer was ordered to use the new
kind I'm preference to the old. It was
Il gigantic attempt on the part of spell
ing reformers, to force the issue
They enlisted the aid of the president
and the president believing that his
word would go" issued the imperial
edict. The next day or two saw many
words in many places objecting to the
order. But the president stood pat. A
telegram from oyster Bay informed us
that he was paying as little attention
to attacks upon his order as he did
to bullets that raiped about his head
In the San Juan attack But that was
bluff. The public kept up It's roar
OF shells and finally oyster Bay hung
up white flag "If this order proves
unpopular" came the word, at will
not be enforced" That was about the
weakest thing Roosevelt had ever
done. He Is not accustomed to back
ing down.
Congress met. Congress conquered
The order has been withdrawn. 1t is
unconditional surrender
Webster protested against the lem
un" that was rendered 1t, and the pres
ident has taken 1t back. What's more
it Is only plain lemon today.
The old way was good enough for
the United States. If the spelling is
to be reformed, it must be done grad
ually-not by sweep of the pen
That isn't the way to do things In this
land of the free. We can't stand for
all these reforms at once. If all OF
them were carried out, the world
would wake up some fine morning
and find that 1t had turned a complete
somersault. So the country stood pat
1t had listened with patience to edicts
in regard to how many children II
should have; 1t had heard with endur
ance how bad 1t was; 1t had been
scolded for some of the things that il
did, and scolded for some of the things
that 1t did not; it had had it's ears
boxed for this, that and the other
but when 1t came to obeying a revolu
tionary order as to how 1t should spell
its own name, the world mot wurld)
just got up and stood pat-and the
white house has hung up a flag to
match itself 1t was a pretty severe
come-down for the hero of San Juan
but he had made mistake.
