cARNEGiE'S MISTAKE

Andrew Carnegie, the multi-milion- aire steel magnate, the builder of many < libraries, the generous giver to many worthy causes has built magnificent palace of art in Pittsburg. He put millions into it's artistic walls and liter ally decked it's classic dome with dia- monds. He invited the kings and poten- tates of foreign nations to take part in its dedication only few weeks ago, and the wonder and beauty of this splendid temple of art and achievement were heralded from sun to sun. Mr. Carnegie no doubt is sure that he has accomplished the greatest effort of his life. He has completed and turned overto his home city great institution, But from the standpoint of the great est good to the city of Pittsburg, it is the greatest mistake that the hand of it's generous giver has ever made. Now comes the announcement that Mir. Prick has purchased land near the Car negie palace of art and will build even a grander structure than his great rival has produced. Thus millions will be in, a Iol l service and honor to the people of Pittsburg.
 What Pittsburg needs most of all is a School of Social Purity-a school of cor rection and house of refuge for the errlng young actresses and if possible the young men whose very souls are blackened by the grim soot from her Plutonic furnaces of vice and passion. From moral standpoint Pittsburg is hell. Marble palaces of art and science are indeed great opponents of the cul- ture and refinement of this industrial center, yet almost in the very shadow ot her halls of culture are Styglan dens of vice. MT. Carnegie is evidently an optionist. He had rather dwell in the gay palaces of his city with Democri- tus than to go with Heraclitus to it's homes of sorrow and disgrace. He sees no reason why he should explore the foul sewers of Pittsburg when he can bask in her pleasant parks. Why gaze into cesspool when one can look at the stars, or why not seek and com mend virtue instead of hurling anathe- mas at vice? The world loves an op- timist-one who can fix his gaze on some fiickering well-o-the-w -wisp in black est midnight and persuade himself that it is high noon, but blind optimism without sober judgment is not virtue. The people of Paris were once remind

could no longer refuse to pay attention to her filthy cesspools, and the celebra- ted Bruneseau explored and purified the Parisian cloacae and thus preserved the public health. What Pittsburg needs today is modern Bruneseau to purify if possible the moral sewers of the city If Mir. Prick would outdo the prolific MT. Carnegie, let him by all means build huge Flor ence Crittenden Home in the City of Steel and his name and fame will be se- cure in the history of the world.
 But the social sin of American soci- ety Is not confined to Pittsburg. It is the greatest drawback to our moral welfare. Weknow that there are those who would paint roseate hues of our high society life but if one half of the house could be waited above the city like some Don Cleofas and look with magic vision through every roof and wall at the other half, the divorce courts and funeral directors would be on the move before sunrise of the next morning. Yet to the reader of history there is nothing startling about Ameri- can social conditions. Civilization has ever travelled in circles, starting at sybratism and advancing by degrees to civilization, then back to barbarism to get more iron in it's blood, In all con- conditions of life, the great middle class has ever been the conservator of the nation S virtue. A century or so ago when the majority of the people followed some honest trade or profess sion and enjoyed homely plenty, there were no nymphs du pave and even He's ter Prynne was regarded with univer- sal horror. Today the dim red light and the cushioned stairway are much in ev- idence even on the main streets in ev- cry city of the union. Such grinding penury as millions feel in our modern cities, freezes the genial current of the soul' and blunts every moral pride or sensibility. Healthful toll and fru- gal fare are virtues guardian angels.
 We are not overstating the question when we say that the morals of Ia beau monde are frightfully low, else we would not see in every city women as notoriously corrupt as Sycorax, and men no better, moving in the "best socie- ty. ' Money covers multitude of sins and the woman of great wealth may have as many lovers as she likes, and even divorce for cause or an opera cuiAo ouSi diiioiiS ucI duIIllTeTS WILL not affect her position in the sanctum sane torium or swelldom. Men and women are crazed by the vice of the giddy world. They detest at first, but by constant contact the keenest conscience is dulled and the will power dethroned. As Pope declares:
 "Vice is. monster of so frightful
 mien
 As to be hated needs but to be seen: Yet seen too oft, familiar with her
 face,
 We first endure, then pity then em-
 brace
 Is it not time that a great moral awakening were being brought upon us? Could it be better begun than by erecting palace to purity? If Mir. Prick would inscribe his name on the hearts of his countrymen let him build temple in honor of and for the protec- tion of virtue in his native city and in the nation

PEMBIrlA, II. D.. FRIDAY, JULY s. 1907

Volume xxx of the Pioneer Ex-
press is begun with this number. Last
April the present proprietors celebrated
their twentieth anniversary since taking
possession of the paper. The one
thought that comes to us at this time is
the pleasant fact, that Notwithstanding
deaths, removals, and the many other
vicissitudes of life, that still SO very
large number of names that were on the
subscription list twenty years ago are
still there.
While we have welcomed during that
time many hundreds of others to the
Pioneer Express family, yet there is a
warm feeling for the elder ones with
whom and for whom we have labored Sc
long.
This particular anniversary comes to
both the proprietors this week with the
shadows of death hanging over loved
ones. The paper goes on and must go
on as usual, but with some imperfec
tions and omissions. We trust that ou1
good friends will appreciate the Difficult.

TRUE PATRIOTISM

There are several kinds of patriots.
and many varieties of patriotism. Boys
and some kid men express their love of
country with noise and fireworks. In
many cases this is genuine, though per-
haps little childish-and is often a
nuisance if not worse to other and more
sane people. In war times men gave
their lives and fortunes for their country
and that is bravery indeed. But it
is worth while to think that it is possi-
BILE for everybody to be patriotic on this
anniversary and be the happier for the
doing. Whatever anyone does to better
the body polite is real patriotism. And
when anyone benefits the individual he
benefits the whole.
The man who plants a tree is as GER
tainly patriotic as he who builds college
The man who helps the poor and the
suffering is patriot as we'll as he who
speaks in the forums of the Legislative
bodies. The every day citizen who
gives of his time and means to make
the city or town in which he lives, bet.
ter and more beautiful is exercising one
of the best attributes of patriotism
The man who by counsel and act and
example keeps and assists in keeping
the laws of the state and country is do
ing Che same kind of duty as the soldier
1t is patriotism to be a good neighbor.
1t is patriotic to just have a pleasant
word for your town and for it's people
Oh, yes, we may all celebrate and enjoy
the celebration. God, home and oul
native land. These are indisolubly con
nected. What ever is done for one is
for the others. Be patriotic.

stomach is heavy. And we again won
der at the capacsity of boys stomach
for ice cream-and perhaps wish that we
again had boys stomach "just for
to-night"-and vaguely and wishfully
wonder if there is still any cream left in
the bottom of that freezer.

every second taking on its passengers
and dropping them off. The train has
started again with it's human load. Oh,
the joys and sorrows represented there.
The new born babe is snuggled to the
breast of the young mother in the
sleeping car and on the morrow she will
lovingly lay it on the knee of the mother
that nursed her when she was also a
helpless bit Of human flesh. But, away
forward in the smoker is one who was
once babe like that so tenderly cared
for by its proud young mother, who is
i also being cared for by one who sleeps
! not, and the man or what remains of a
once man, wears handouts and on the
morrow the sleepless officer will hand
him over to the prison goal-and his
future will be darkness without hope OF
light.

TWILIGHTs

NlgnC comes on slowly IN these north
ern ATTITUDES during these June days.
The end of the ball game in the Park
and<the curfew come simultaneously.
The younger ones troop homeward ac-
cording to the parental behest and the
fear of the city marshal, who though
of the most good d-natured has been con-
verted into veritable "bogi-man'' by
the fertile imaginations Of the kids as
sisted by the tales of elder brothers and
sisters. But when at home they still
have an hours play in the twilight un-
der the trees in the yard. Meanwhile
these elder brethren and sisters abide on
their way homeward to get an ice cream
soda and then, find the old fashioned
way, the longest but pleasantest way, in
couples, to the gate, and there linger
and inger, for it is not yet dark, and
they may linger with propriety, as long
as the lingering light lasts. And the
older ones, those that travelled the same
long path homeward in the days of old,
are tempted by the sweet pure air and
the twilight to also wander forth with
linked arms, as Of old, and in the
twilight that is stealing yearly over
their lives walk in the twilight of the
declining day, while the happiness Of
ages fruition is greater than the joy Of
their ysuthful anticipations, even

Perhaps millionaire lies waking in
his comfortable berth, his millions load
ing his hours Of sleep, while tramp
away forward on the "blind baggage"
snores as though his bed were down,
and not the hard platform. In the
emigrant cars are parents and children
bound for the far north to make home.
Poor in purse but rich in energy, hope,
health and children. Tired, sleepy and
happy. Oh the joys and sorrows of it

ferent people, but always the same

And then they 60 forth to their daily
labors. These are not strikers for eight
hour days. From four in the morning
to nine at night they work for them
selves and their dear ones. Fifteen to
sixteen hours daily labor with never a
complaint, except when the weather is
SO bad that it interferes. No wonder
North Dakota robins grow SO fast and
SO fat. Eight hours for sleep and six
teen for eating ought to make things
grow fast. And the wheat grows fast
for the same reason. One hundred days
will often ripen wheat from planting.
But in that 100 days it has gained from
three to five hours daily on it's cousins
growing in Oklahoma. -Four hours day
for one hundred days means almost
seventeen days more Of daylight than
Oklahoma and neighboring localities
have il the same time.

Over there in the east we can see a
glow: faint to be sure but we know it to
the harbinger of the day, and it is not
yet 2:3O as the train man says. Broader
and broader will grow the streak "until
it glows into the blazing SUM-" Three
o'clock and the light is enough for
young eyes if they were awake, to begin
to read the book laid down at ten last
might. What is that? A twitter and
chirp? 1t is the little wren who has
his nest just at the door in the crotch of
the tree, that we fastened there for him.
1t isn't much of mansion. Just tin
can, covered with rough bark from the
wood-pile, and tied on with wire, with a
wee hole in one end SO that bigger birds
than he cannot enter. He or his de-
cendants have been living in that same
house for more than tea years now, -ex-
cept that they take an excursion to the
south every winter. But he comes to
his front perch and says ''good morning.
to the world of birds. And then from
the nests otthe robins and the sparrows
and the swallows and the cat-birds and
the orioles and the cedar birds and the
blackbirds and from many, many other
bird homes come the twittering, singing
calls, from nei ghbor to neighbor, from
neighborhood to neighborhood, until the
air rings again and again with melodies
of-these choristers of the temples of
God, the arching trees of the groves
Perhaps "Beast and bird, have seen
and heard that which man knoweth
not"-and these feathered choirs are
but echoing the chorus of the s'morning
stars which sang together"

train, without money or friends other
than sad wife. Mr.. Jones paid for
berths, and when the dying man bad

over him and said: II am sorry to see
you suffering so. am glad we found
you. hope you will sleep we'll. II
you should need me don't fail to call

Before the train reached Memphis
Sam Jones was dead, but his istentit n

Remarkable SNAKE.
CHANGES ITS HEAD FROM ONE END OF
ITS BODY TO THE OTHER

CHANGES ITS HEAD FROM ONE END CT
ITS BODY TO THE OTHER
Having on board one of the strang-
est snakes of which there is any rec
ord in any land. which has the habit of
changing its head every SIX months
from one end Of its body to the other,
the Hansa Line steamer Trautenfels,
from Calcutta to Colombo, docked at
the Mystic shortly before noon yester-
day. The reptile is about three feet
in length and nearly ten inches In
some portions of it's body. 1t has a
peculiar brownish color and it's bite is
far more poisonous than tho rattler.
The snake was caught In the noun
talns of India, and is being taken to
New York to complete the collection of
OF monstrosities in one of the museums
in that city. At the present time the
head is disappearing from one end Of its
body, and another one 10 grad ually be
ng formed on the spot W here it's tail
formerly was.
None of the officers of the Trauten-
fels. from Captain Gronau down, was
able to give any special name to the
suake. Every person on board tue
steamer gave the cage wide berth
whenever they passed it, not from
and possibility that the reptile might
escape, but from force of habit. There
is no possibility of it's affecting an
escape. for aside from any opportunity
it evidently has no inclination to get
away. 1t occasionally shows signs of
life by running out its immense ton
que, but it seldom moves. 1t is said
to be particularly ferocious just after
the semi annuI head moving is accom-
plished.
In addition to the snake, the Trau.
tenfels had 500 tigerfnches and 500
camilla birds, peculiar to India, which |
are of bright plumage and extremely |
