COMING JAPANESE VISITORS.

Gus Remark.

stop II Omaha PrOvOkeA Some Envi-
Gus Remarks.
Des Moines Register and Leader.
Announcement that the delegation repre-
senting the commercial interests Of Japan
will visit Omaha Neb., on November IS,
has led to natural inquiry as to the reason
Des Moines does not enjoy the honor of
entertaining these distinguished visitors.
The government was wise enough to select
an Iowa man, Jackson Elliott. to represent
the Department of Commerce and Labor.
in welcoming the delegation on its arrival
to this country at Seattle a few weeks ago.
Certainly the delegation will go back Ito
Japan ignorant of the best the whole
country affords IL it doesn't tarry in Iowa
and Des Moines.
Out in Omaha they plan a delightful
surprise for the visitors. With that dis
regard for convention which to the Granger
is indicative merely of chestiness but in
which Americans strangely take a certain
pride as evidence of superiority and indie
pendence, everywhere our people have
greeted the visitors as "Japs." This has
not been altogether pleasant to the Japa-
nese, but their suavity and urbanity have
not abated one whit on that account;
however, Omaha has calculated with
nicely that IL the word Jap" can be ia
booed I'm that city for the day of the visit,
the delegation may report to Japan that
the center of real culture in the United
States after all is in Nebraska. 1t is pos
'sible to gain understanding Of the feeling
of the visitors by putting ones self in their
place. If a delegation of American finan-
oieres and business men, of serious mind
and bent on a serious mission were to go
visiting only to be greeted as "Yanks" or
by another nickname, 1t would be humiIiat-
ing to the guests ana leave with them a
bad Impression. bound to offset, somewhat,
the effect of their investigation. But the
japanese visitors do not have to go to
Omaha to receive d~lgnified consideration.
They should stop in Des Moines.

President Taft's comment on the
broad. liberal tolerance manifested by
the religious interests Of New Orleans,
comes with particular force at a mo-
ment when E~piscopslians and Congre-
gationalists are planning a union.
Bishop Halls proposal to SURF snder
the thirty-nine articles and sink the
identity of his denomination for the
sake of a merger into one catholic,
apostolic faith, is being met by the
Congregationalists half way, and it
would seem as though the projected
union might not be so visionary after
all. Non-church-goers long have argued
that the bewildering prevalence of diff
fering denominations was one of the
reasons why American cities had so
many inhabitants with no church at
filiation. Many strong leaders in the
cause Of religion appear to be coming
to a common ground, out Of which
union and consequent strength may be
evolved.

Food for the Multitude,

Once more we behold James ]. Hill
in the role of alarmist over the food
supply, bewailing What shall we do to
be fed?" Mr.. Hill's particular fear is
that first wheat and then other staples
will become so far inadequate that we
shall not be able to secure sufficient
distribution, nor TO pay prevailing
prices. He estimates a tremendous
shortage within the near future, and
warns the nation that II is coming to
a dearth unless 1t ceases careless and
wasteful methods, and lifts agriculture
to its proper dignity and full develop
ment.
In the meantime changes in condi-
lions are being met by the ~agricultur-
lists as fast as they present themselves.
The old prOdigal treatment OF the land
common in the early western days has
been abandoned, and farmers every
where are outstanding their resources
land concentrating their ~endeavors. Irri-
cation is opening up new areas. dry
farming is gaining steadily, and men
are more and more developing scientific
and intensive methods Of soil cultiva-
ton, With the growth OF population,
agriculture is receiving increased at
t%ention, and il ever the people should
find themselves facing so calamitous
a problem as that depicted by Mr.. Hill,
it is safe to assume that as a matter of
self preservation they would all be-
come tillers of the soil rather thar
perish because it is not being titled 10
the utmost. Every little while some
prophet arises with the announcement
that natural supplies are about to give
out, but for ages the earth has proved

Judge Jacob Fawcett.

While all three Of the republican
nominees for supreme Judge are enti-
tied to unqualified support on the rec
ords they have made as efficient mem
bers of the court, the people of Omaha,
and of this judicial district, as friends
and neighbors of Jacob Fawcett,
should take a special interest in his
candidacy.
1t is a strange but none the less his
toric fact that for more than twenty
five years Omaha has been denied the
privilege of furnishing a single mem
Der on the state supreme bench. The
last supreme judge hailing from
Omaha was Judge Lake, who retired
in 1883, and from that day until Judge
Fawcett qualified as supreme Judge no
one from Omaha was permitted to oc-
cupy a seat on that bench.
Judge Fawcett is the only candidate
running who has ever been personally
identified with the people and interests
of this city and county, and IL the truth
were known what little opposition has
been stirred up against him might be
traced to artificial and groundless
prejudice against Omaha of which the
democratic opposition is seeking to
take advantage. He is an old soldier
who enlisted in the union army when
a mere boy. He was elected and re-
elected to the district bench in this dis
trict. serving eight years. He was
twice appointed member Of the SUI
preme court commission by unanimous
vote of the judges, once while Judge
Holcomb was still one Of the three
Judges,
When the court was enlarged Judge
Fawcett was appointed to n of the
vacant judgeships by Governor Shell
don, and in the subsequent conflict
over appointing power was again APP
pointed by Governor Sh~allenberger. If
the democrats protesting fealty 10 the
idea of nonpartisanship were really
sincere they would have endorsed the
selection of their democratic governor
and would now be supporting Judge
Fawcett instead OF opposing him. The
refusal of the democrats TO accept their
own governors appointee convicts
them of using the mask OF nonpartisan-
ship against him for purely partisan
purposes,
Judge Fawcett received a handsome
vote in the recent primary election in
Omaha and Douglas county and his old
judicial district, where he is best
known. and he should again receive at
the coming election the recognition due
him in the form of a decisive majority
along with his two associates on the
ticket, Judge Barnes and Judge Sedg.

The School Board.

Four members OF the Omaha Board
Of Education are to be elected tomor-
row for q term OF three years, eventu-
ally to constitute one-third of the
board. As every one at all conversant
with public afairs knows, the Board Of
Education has complete control Of the
administration of our public schools
and has been spending in the nelghbor-
hood Of $1,000, 900 a year proceeds Of
taxes and bond sales.
1t goes without saying that the edu-
cation Of all the children Of the COM
munity depends on the efficiency of the
public schools. In point of character
and qualification the school board can
didates on the republican ticket are
head and shoulders above their oppo-
nents on the democratic ticket. These
candidates are:
First Ward-Charles r. Parsons.
Second Ward-Dr. Il. Holovtchiner.
Third Wsrd-Henry l.. Plumb.
Fourth Ward-ChRrles r. Courtney.
While the candidates must be chosen
one each from the four first wards,
they are to be voted on throughout the
city. Pulling the republican lever will
safeguard the interests Of the public
schools by electing these men.

Voices of the Spirits.

One of the most sensational testi-
monies in the current revival of super
natural manifestations is the assertion
Of William T. Stead, the veteran Lon
don editor, that he has beer receiving
communications from the spirit world
In the voice of Gladstone, whom he
knew in the flesh, giving political ad-
vice concerning the pending budget.
Mr.. Stead has been so long a pro-
nounced devotee of psychical research
that the skeptical may be forgiven If
they suspect deception, but the editors

mankind is stirred by many ineXplica-
BILE demonstrations.
The fact that Ferrer has not yet full

time before his recent death, to COM

the celebrated Nine. Paladino, is being
utilized by scoffers, but a committee

a trickster, and believers argue that 1t
may be that Ferrer is conscious of this

The animal magnetism which has
been recognized of late among some OF
the mental healing f~actionists, Is an.
other form of occult transfer OF

debated Fox sisters.
