IN Anr LIMIT ON HEROES.


DIT. osler. some railroad companies
and a few corporations have made an
EFFORT to fix an age limit on a mans
period of usefulness; the scriptures
have set a period on the years allotted
to existence, and the governments of
some countries have established an
age at which a person may retire to
an honorable old age on a pension, but
It has remained for the Carnegie Hero
commission to reverse the presidents
Of the ages by fixing the age limit OF
heroism. This commission. 1t will be
remembered, has charge Of the man
agement of one of Mr.. Carnegie's many
funds, the purpose of which is TO rec
ognize and reward, by medals or cold
cash daring acts or deeds of valor per-
formed by persons who forget their
own safety for the benefit of others
who may be in peril. The commission
makes monthly reports and the list OF
persons IL has rewarded is a long one,
including fremen, members of life
saving crews and individuals who have
met emergencies in an heroic manner,
but Il has Just decided that children
will hereafter be barred from the Car
negie hero class.
The commissions finding Is based
on a request for recognition of the he
roic qualities of 5-year-old boy up
in Wisconsin who returned to burn
ing house the other day, after his par
ents and the firemen had been driven
out. and rescued his baby sister. The
little fellow was burned painfully, but
he saved his sister. and now the Car
negie Hero commission has decided
that he is not entitled to even medal
| because he is too young to appreciate
the nature of his conduct. and that he
acted merely upon impulse and with
out appreciation of his danger.
II the Carnegie commission is right,
the world has been wrong since the
array dawn of history in its estimation
of the essentials of heroism. DELHI
Grafton has never been considered as
an element in heroic conduct. Hero
ism feels and never reasons, and there
fore is always right" says Emerson,
and the record of valorous conduct
supports that definition. Impulse is
the prime motive power in heroic acts,
and impulse never reckons peril nor
halts to allow reason to catch up. The
world has grown accustomed to rating
as a hero the man. woman or child
who responds to the call of danger
without. stopping to think Of the re-
suits, and g. will be slow to bestow its
medals of appreciation. whatever the
Carnegie Hero commission may do,
upon the hero who, faced by an emer-
gency, coolly celebrates upon the mat
ter until he decides upon course of
action.

A Communication from the editor
OF the Weeping Water herald directs
attention 70 q condition that deserves
some attention. II the allegations
made By Mr.. Olive In his letter are well
founded, the Omaha Grain exchange
directors should take immediate steps
TO correct the abuse complained Of.
II not we'll founded. some assurance
should be given to that effect
The establishment of a grain ex-
change at Omaha has been accom-
plished In the face Of the combined
opposition Of practically all the rail-
roads entering the city It was obvi-
ously to the interests of these railroads
not to have a grain market established
here. and since the organization of the
exchange It has been engaged in a con
tlnusl fight for its rights. Privileges
that we're discriminatory against
Omaha have been granted rival mar
kets, and many favors that might have
been extended to the local exchange
have been denied. That the market
should have grown as It has under the
conditions is the best evidence possible
of It's utility to producer and consumer
alike.
The allegation made by Mr.. Olive
that the true market is in the south
is also based on a misaDprehension Of
facts. All the corn does not go. south
sooner or later. A large part Of it is
consumed in Omaha. though not
nearly what should be nor what
eventually will be. but the great
home industries that require corn as
a basis for manufacturing are not To-
Gated south but east of Nebraska. Mr..
olives opinion in the matter indicates
Missouri Pacific bias. and seems. rem
inlscent of the we'll remembered
midnight tariff'' that blocked the
Omaha yards and overwhelmed the
Gould roads with grain shipments
destined for the gulf.
1t is plain that the Omaha Grain
exchange has not yet gotten away
from all danger OF insidious opposition
in its own territory, but It seems a
trife unfortunate that it should be at
tackled as near home as Cass county.
The farmers are not invited 10 come
to Omaha to trade solely from pa
triotic motives, but because Omaha is
the best market town. Experience
has proven this.

The Metropolitan Realty company of
New York City, an organization that
makes a business of securing homes
and renting property to negroes, has
met with fair success in that line,
and now proposes to establish a real
innovation by starting a department
store for negroes, which Is to be To-
Gated on ground already secured at
the corner of Eighth avenue and Forty
sixth street in New York. The COM
pany proposes to expend about $780,
600 in remodeling the building and
will then put in complete depart
ment store stock and make q special
appeal for the patronage of the ne
groes of New York City. the promot-
ers of the enterprise stating that
there are enough negroes in the city
to support the venture and make 1t
bowling success, If they want to do so.
The enterprise is novel, In some re-
spects, and the result of the expert
ment will be watched with interest. 1t
is to be started, however, on the wrong
principle. The promoters of the project
have apparently overlooked the fact
that the nlmble dollar recognizes no
race, and that human nature Is stub
bornly selfish. 1t buys where 1t can
make the best bargains. and 1t cares
little or nothing for the color or race
of the party who has the goods for
sale. In America, too, there has been
marked change in the recognition of
race prejudlces and Affiliations. Some
years ago the average merchant was
as careful about the nationality OF his
clerks as he was about the character
of his wares. The German trade. the
Irish trade and the trade OF other
natlonallties was solicited by employ
ment of clerks of those nationalities,
