RESTAURANTS SELLING
CULTIVATED BERRIES

Cultivated blackberries are now being
used almost entirely in the blackberry
pies that are served at restaurants and
hotels There is a reason for this. The
cultivated variety Of the berry is prac-
tically the only kind tlat is reaching the
market
This week probably viii see the close
of the blackberry season, il not entirely,
so nearly so that blackberries will be
about as searce commodity as any on
the market In fact, they have almost
reached this stage now.
The few berries now reaching the mar
ket naturally are OF good quality. and the
corollary Of this is that the blackberry
pies being served Wilmingtonians are
above the average. After next week canned
fruit will have TO be used principally in
the pie making business.

American home as far as the golden
rule Is adjustable to vigorous and
rightminded children. That's mine, -
Il want that Give me my hat
these are familiar types OF the cries
Of the children in family life in all
races where the struggle for posses
sion begins from infancy. And while
the Los Angeles international baby
farm is c%ultivsting the graces Of it's
wards it will find them cultivating also
all the native that in them
lie. Cultured people could not make
a success of cooperative life in the
Brook farm experiment, and this at
tempt at cooperative baby farming
will go the way Of all flesh. In its in
fancy, however. a close observer could
doubtless obtain abundant material
for new series Of remarkable child
studies for the Sunday comics.

Praise as is Praise.

When praise comes from a source
which is predisposed to fau~lt-finding
1t is praise indeed, and this from the
news columns OF the Lincoln Journal
is therefore deserving of reproduction
for Omaha perusal:
Five heavily laden trains arriving in Lin
coin from Omaha last night carried home
the pleasure seekers from this city who had
gone to the metropolis to witness the cleo
trical parade and the sights Of festival
week. Those who returned declared the
parade a thing of marvellous beauty well
worth the trip. Great crowds lined the
streets along the marching route and the
carnival spirit ran high. Some complaint
was made about wretched street car serv-
Ice, because the cars ran the wrong way
when the visitors desired to get to the
depots and because there was not half cars
enough to carry the people who wanted to
ride in any direction. 1t was a festival
crowd that swamped the facilities of the
Omaha Street Railway company.
Trainmen said very few drunken passen-
gers were to be found on the trains, and
these few were kept pretty we'll under con-
troll, A few Of the returning passengers
carried suit cases of suspicious weight.
General pleasure was expressed at the
decoration and illumination Of the Omaha
downtown district.
We have only this to say: That peo-
pie who did not take in the Ak-Sar-
Ben festivities in Omaha this year be-
cause of n prejudice melted by mis-
representations in outside newspapers
that have been running down Omaha
and Ak-Sar-Ben are themselves the
greatest losers. When Omaha can put
up an entertainment for it's visiting
guests that commends enthusiastic APP
probation in Lincoln it may be voted
an unqualified success.

More Durable Than Brass.

The good that men do lives after
them when the men are practical
enough to distribute that good ere it
is too late to prevent its being inferred
with their bones. One Of the men
who had the sound sense to spread
broadcast the benefits OF his gifts
while his faculties were still alert,
sufficiently alert to direct the manage
ment Of affairs, was Thomas Hunton
Swope, who gave to the people of Kan
sas City as a public playground a
magnificent park of nearly 1900
acres. Colonel Swope lived to see the
people in full enjoyment of his gift,
and the public spirit which prompted
it was augmented by the pleasure
which he obtained in contemplation of
the public good thus promoted. How
much he realized the worth of this
park to his city is shown by the cpl
taph which he wrote for himself some
time previous to his recent death:
"He has erected a monument more
durable than brass"
Mr.. Swope's will shows requests to
educational and other public causes,
but Swope park will stand as his great
monument. Any man who devotes his
wealth and energies to the u%pbuilding
of a community through the establish
ment of healthful pleasure parks is
doing more real good in the world and
rearing for himself a more enduring
monument than he who simply stores
his golden ingots for heirs to squabble
over or who a a princely palace
or costly mausoleum in the hope that
after he is gone men will pause and
marvel. Every bit of turf kept green
in Swope park has a message for the
generations of Kansas City more
durable than brass and more precious
to the inhabitants than gold.

A-malgamating the Babies.

Southern California, with all it's
queer fads and strange cults, has ex-
celled itself in the latest enterprise
for the amalgamation of babies into
a new and perfect race. Here have
been gathered Americans, Russians,
Koreans, Indians, Mexicans, Soandina-
VANS and other types as a foundation
for what the promoters fondly hope
will be the most superior bloom Of
mankind. Under a golden rule admin
istration these babes of all nations
are to be cultivated into faultless
adults, and then by intermarriage they
are to found an ideal brotherhood of
man.
The magnitude Of the task becomes
at once apparent to any father or
mother who has brought up one un-
mixed brood. If the cry of the chill
dren In an American household as
they fell down the stairs and along
the halls at the first peep of day for
that indescribable and indispensable
boys garment known as MY pants"
which a fond mother has been patch
ing over night, can start bedlam into
bawling through another twelve hours
of daylight, as is the case in many
households over this broad land, what
must the clamor be when this mixture
Of the races begins to make known it's
insistent daily needs? And II one
loving American brother and one fond
American sister can generate a pitched
battle. which only mother al umpire
successfully. over a lost marble or a
chunk of mud thrown against a clean
dress, what a p%rodigious battle is In
store when the IndRn and the Russian
and the American all get to teasing
the white-haired Scandinavian family
pet.
OF course. the golden rule is 10 pre-
vail. But 1t prevails in the average

Expediting Justice.

Popular demand for reform in the
judicial system has been strengthened
by the attitude Of President Taft, who
has put himself on record as favoring
measures that shall put an end to the
laws delays and to miscarriages OF
Justice. In the meantime there are
frequent individual cases which go TO
show that justice can be tieet-footed
when desired. II is no uncommon
thing to read now and then Of an ex-
ceptional case where a notorious Of
fender is ~railroaded at lightning speed
into prison to serve a long sentence,
and to such cases the state efecting
the punishment always points with
pride. But the truth exists that in the
main the courts are subject to infiu-
ences that cause s%candalous delays
where the interests involved so desire.
Chicago has just furnished two
glowing examples Of the adjustability
of the courts to the demands Of pow
erful litigants. The John r. Walsh
case already has dragged two years; 1t
is likely to be three more before final
Judgment Is rendered in his personal
case, and in addition the banks are in
volved In a battle over his assets,
which seems interminable. 1t is a
familiar type of the experiences OF
American courts. On the other hand,
that the bench can be extremely ex-
peditious is illustrated by the Jarvis
Hunt divorce case in Chicago, where
by previous arrangement to avoid pub
licity, the filing of Mrs. Hunts petit
ton, the court hearing and the grant
ing Of the decree all we're accom-
plished in less than six minutes.
With such cases as these constantly
arising, Of the acceleration or retarda-
ton Of justice to suit individual pow
erful needs, It is no wonder hat the
courts come into adverse criticism
from the public. Massachusetts,
j~urists just home from abroad report
having been impressed with the rapid
ity with which the English courts
transact business. Stern justice melted
to all, without favor, the elimination
of all technical and extraneous mat
tiers, a thorough but immediate mas
terry of each case by the judges are the
elements making quick work in the
English courts. In the hope Of per-
fecting our judiciary system, we might
we'll study the expedition practiced by
our British cousins.

The Mixup in New York.

The selection by Tammany Of Judge
Gaynor as democratic candidate for
mayor in New York City, coupled with
the probable candidacy of William R.
Hearst on an Independent ticket, indi-
Gates a democratic mixup that may be
embarrassing to a distinguished demo-
crat who lives not far away.
Judge Gaynor was talked of as a
possibility for vice president on the
ticket with Mr.. Bryan last year, and
Mr.. Bryan will doubtless find some
way to say something during the mu-
nicipal campaign to show his prefer
ence for Judge Gaynor. In this case,
unless he seals his lips together, MT.
Bryan is up against the unpleasant pre-
dicament of approving the candidate of
Tammany, which repeatedly sold him
out, or favoring a candidate who twice
supported him, but openly opposed him
last time. 1t is out of the question, Of
course, that Mr.. Bryan should have
any sympathy with the republican can
didate, who has fusion endorsements,
because he, as a republican, never sup
ported Mr.. Bryan.
In this connection 1t is worth while
noting that If New York City we're in
Nebraska, and Nebraska still had the
fake nonpartisan Judiciary law put on
our statute books by Mr.. Bryan's late
democratic legislature, Judge Gaynor
could not be running for mayor. Judge
Gaynor has been on the bench continu-
ously for fifteen years and is now a
Judge Of the supreme court. Our de-
funct nonpartisan judiciary law con-
tanned this provision:
All persons now holding or who may
hereafter be elected to the offices 0udi-
ciel or educational herein mentioned) are
declared to be ineligible to nomination or
election to any office upon any party ticket
during the respective terms for which they
may have been or may be elected to the
office aforesaid.
II that is good democratic doctrine
In Nebraska, of course the democrats
Of New York City ought to repudiate
Judge Gaynor for dragging the judi
ciary into politics,

paign that a Mobile paper refused TO print

candidate Is " too good 10 be elected, and
the democratic candidate is too eccentric
to be tolerated" 1t is up TO Hearst to

We scott at him who sits and dreams,
And will not join us in the strife,
Who will not run the race that seems
Tit chief and only thing in life.
We scott at him; but there are whues
He gives us pity in his smiles.
Our ceaseless seeking for the goal,
And knows that goal is never found
Though we may scarify the soul.
We sigh that he Is left behind,
But does he grieve that we are bllnd7
For him are ways we may not fare,
For him are all the worlds that be,
For him the breezes softly bear
The perfume of the distant sea,
And in his dreams he often tands
Within the wondrous flowered lands.
II we might know the songs he hears
Then we could hush the songs we sing
That fall all hRrshly on the ears,
For his beat In as birds awning
From somewhere in the paling sky,
Serene and sweet and fair and high.
Our gain we clutch with eager hands
And from our neighbor hold apart,
But h~e-somehow he understands
The craving of the human heart;
His pathway holds no stumbling stones
Because Of these the dreams he owns.

That grasp the substance; let us wait
AS you, until from alien strands
The ships Of fancy bring their freight.
Let us know how the world should seem,
