Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-04

The Board Of Regents of the Uni
versity of Nebraska has been holding
some important sessions at Lincoln,
and chief among the reports received
were those OF additional expenditures
made for new buildings and other ex-
tensions for better work at the uni
versity. Nothing was said, publicly,
at least, concerning the S62, 1000 the
university will derive this year in ex-
cess of the estimate given to the last
legislature as a result of the increased
valuation placed on the state property.
When the regents come before the
next legislature asking for an appro-
priation, it is hoped that this matter
will not be forgotten. Nebraskans are
willing to contribute literally to the
support of the educational institutions
of the state and especially to the uni
versity, but they would like to know
how the money is expended.

LESSON OF THE ELECT


The American battleships that have
been touring the western and south
ern seas for months are now at home
again in American waters at Manila.
This simple fact brings forcibly to
mind the changes made.i in the geogra-
ply of the world during the last
decade, Until May /, ten years ago,
the Spanish flag had fioated without
dispute, save that raised by discon-
tented natives, over the Philippine
islands since the day Magellan stopped
at the archipelago on his adventur-
Gus circumnavigation of the globe. On
that day, when Dewey steamed into
Manila bay and planted the American
flag where the Spanish colors had
waved for 800 years, a new epoch in
the affairs of civilization was begun.
The presence Of the greatest naval
lighting force ever assembled under
the stars and stripes is merely an in
eident in the progress of the work then
commenced.
The heet is on a peaceful mission
and errand of education, not alone for
the citizens of the United States, but
for the citizens of all the world, and
especially FOR those Of the far east.
1t is not intended that any of the peo-
Piles shall be overawed by this display
of strength and fighting ability, but it
is a natural result that in the presence
OF such a showing the Importance of
the country that has heretofore been
little more than a name shall become
something of greater import to these
people. The cleaning up of American

SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT

Minneapolis Journal: A st. Louis pastor,
returned from his vacation, tells how he
was pulled out OF his boat by a fish. Tut,
tut! No wonder the pulpit is losing its hold
on men.
New York Post: A young clergyman, who
has something Of a reputation as a pulpit
orator, had an idea that he had two or
three stories in his head that he might be
able to market. So he sat down and wrote
one of them. 1t dealt with the adventures
of a minister, and two or three of the
authors co-workers, to whom 1t was sub
mitted. declared it to be a true and judic-
ious treatment of one OF the problems that
every young churchman has to solve. The
story was dispatched to a we'll known New
York magazine. In due time 1t came back,
accompanied by a note from the editor, as
follows: "Your story has so many points
of excellence that we regret extremely to
return it. But your attitude toward the
clergy is such that we fear 1t would jar
the sensibilities Of many earnest church
going people," The preacher has not at
tempted to write fiction since.
New York Tribune: Henry Cohen, a
young Jew, who renounced his faith and
was baptized a few months ago in a Baptist
church in Brooklyn, went to Minneapolis
soon after his conversion, Where ne joined
the Rev. s. Mendelssohn, also a converted
Jew, in his work to Christianize the Jews
Of that city. Like Samuel Freuder, who, at
a meeting of ministers at Boston recently,
publicly recanted, Cohen has returned
to his people, and in an open let
ter says: THE Jews of Minneapolis would
speak to me and treat me very nicely, and
they would walk with ne on the street, but
vubanaxar 7 atartad ON NV Snhiaof thew
would leave me and go without answering
a word" Jacob Unger had a similar critic
ism to make about his people in New York
two years ago, when he said: II shall have
to give up the job, because l cannot get the
Jews to speak to me on the subject of
Christianity. If they would but argue, /
