Fruits of Genius.

1t is comforting to the admirers of
great minds that although adequate
recognition often does not come till
late in life or after death, the treas
ures Of genius eventually are col
lected by reverent hands and by them
The rescuing Of the George Meredith
manuscripts from the careless hands
of a butler, by j. p. Morgan, Is only
an incident in the work Of preserving
as imperishable the manuscripts of
great authors that has been accom-
plished by that connoisseur, Mr.. Nor
gan's library has for years been one
of the great treasure houses of the
world, and is a fitting repository for
priceless manuscripts by Poe, Haw-
thorne. Thoreau, Lowell, Longfellow,
Whittier, Emerson, Bryant and
Holmes, just acquired.
The indifference with which gem
uine relics of men Of genius are orig
inally treated makes Il. fortunate that
men arise with sufficient discernment
TO gather them from their obscure and
waste places. Such treasures belong
in public libraries or museums, where
the people may look and the scholars
inspect, but too often even public GUS
todians do not appreciate the worth of
their possessions until a price is put
on them. There is, for example, in
one New England town, in that
strange local. institution, the Athen-
cum, where all sorts of whimsical
keepsakes assemble, the wonderful,
plain, old-fashioned desk on which
Hawthorne wrote THE House of
Seven Gables" 1t is the only relic
Of genuine merit in the whole build
ing, yet it is buried in the dust Of a
disused lumber room, while plaster
reproductions of the familiar statues
fill the corridors.
That Mr.. Morgan personally relishes
the wonderful collections of literature
and art that he is a~ccumuiating, his
zeal In the work would indicate; but
he must have a deeper motive than
selfish qualification.

The Police Judge.

People in Omaha who want an indie
pendent and courageous magistrate to
preside over the police court will vote
at the impending election for the re-
tention of Bryce Crawford as police
Judge. Judge Crawford has been
handling the difficult problems pre-
sented there In a oommon-sense fash
ion, dealing firmly with professional
crooks and chronic offenders, and at
the same time according sympathetic
consideration to the unfortunate who
has merely slipped up. True, he has
not always conducted his court accord
ing to the wishes Of all the lawyers
practicing there, but he has made 1t an
effective brake on petty crime and Ii
eentiousness. The election returns
will show by a large majority that
Judge Crawford is the right man in his
place.

Strange DOings in the Sky.

Never before in the experience of liv-
ing memory have the heavens been so
crowded with the unusual. The re-
cent sweeps of auroras which Knocked
into usslessness all of mans electric
c~ontriyances for signalling through
space, the vanishing of Mars for a
time from our view behind the moon,
the extraordinary spots upon the sun,
the temperance of Halley's comet,
were spectacular in themselves, but
the elimination of all the celestial
surprises is the evidence of q cata-
clysm on Mars, The markings on the
surface of that planet have caused
more speculation and prompted o
scientific study than any other n
feature of the universe since astron-
omy became a familiar to~pic"through
the development of the highepo%er
telescope and the influence of such
men as Newcomb in p%opulariElngt the
study OF the stars. The fact that those
Marian markings have been 4bso-
lutely obliterated cannot but arouse
the most profound wondeTment. A
gloomy yellow veil now obscures the
planets face, and the scientific world
has the gravest fears that Mars has
suffered some catastrophe on a gil
gantic scale, some cataclysm that
dwarfs the comprehension Of man,
more devastating than the most vio-
lent tellurian earthquake.
In the opinion Of Sir Oliver Lodge,
an eminent scientist, the abnormal
electric manifestations OF the sun, to
which he attributes the recent mag
netic storms upon the earth, have had
a terrible influence upon Mars, where
forces seem to have been Embossed
which may have ended forever the
Martians' struggle for life. In thus
specializing on Prof. Lowell's theory
concerning conditions on our ~neighbor
planet, Sir oliver brings close to man
the human element of such a vista
ton, in the contemplation of which
all the recent fantastic imaginings Of
the novelists concerning Mars and it's
possible people become insignificant
dreams. Here is mans littleness
brought home to him; he may stretch
his silent speech from ship to shore,
and may boast of his conquest Of the
pole; but when he turns his vision
to the wonders beyond the earth's at
mosphere. he is confronted with such
gigantic forces Of creation as can only
inspire his awe and bewilder his un-
derstanding.

promising son who goes into the game

the multitude will flock to an open

Foot Ball Brutality.

The terrible injuries inflicted upon
one Of the Annapolis midshipmen and
n Of the West Point cadets In re-
cen foot ball games serve to arouse
new wrath against the brutalities Of
American foot ball. Individual cases
hitherto have excited groups, but the
personal interest taken by the people
at large in the sports of the army and
navy training schools must bring to
a focus the angry rays that have been
flashing through the foot ball atmos-
phere since the seasons gridiron casu-
alities began to be recorded.
1t is evident hat public sentiment
against the rough and tumble tactics
of the American foot ball game was
not sufficiently interpreted by those
In authority over the rules when mod
ification was attempted a few a
ago. The sentiment must make itself
heard with insistent voice II the youth
full players are to be saved from dis
tressing permanent injury or death in
the fierce foot ball onslaught. Amer
lea is still playing far too brutal a
game. and the West Point and AnRap-
oils cases should serve to secure Inn
mediate readtustment Of the rules.
Il may be argued by the devotees
of the game that without the exhibit

Denver Republican.
The carriages makers who met In con-
ventlon the other day and bewalled the
passing of the old-time family carriage
in favor Of the automobile, emphasized how
fast this life Of the human family is chang
ing under John Burroughs despair
ingly calls an overplus OF energy.
1t was not so long ago that the family
carriage meant social standing. II one

two plump and anything but speedy horses.
making proud egress from a stone-piIlared
gate, he was satisfied that quality was in
the neiEhborhood. But the manayho con-
ceived the idea Of taking four bicycle
wheels and propelIing them with a gasoline
engine, put an end to the reign of the
shiny carriage, the plump horses and the
stone gate posts. Also he put an end to
all idea OF economy. For the old-time
family carriage seldom cost more than
1000, 1t was well made and lasted for
years. The horses that drew II were
versatile animals that worked 8 bit In the
fields when they were not wanted for show
purposes, and as for the coachman, he
raked the leaves, attended 70 the grass
cutting, polished up the handle Of the big
front door, and. In short, earned his small
salary many times over.
But now the stone pillars TO the gate
are gone. and the old stone barn has dis
appeared. A 5000 Limousine rolls out OF
a roomy modern garage, where gasoline In
all stages OF decomposition assails the
~nostrils. The big machine is run by a
stony-featured individual who draws a
congressman's salary for doing nothing but
turn the steering wheel that rests In his
grasp. He rakes no leaves and polishes no
door handles, and is ready to leave the
family service at the slightest show Of dis
respect.
Az for the old family carriage, It has
vanished even more completely than the
one-hOrse shay. Nor will II ever appear
again, for the age OF economy Of travel Is
past, and the public is bitten with a speed
madness that will never run It's course.
But even now there are revenges In sight,
for how long is Il going to be ere the
proud Limousine and It's Independent
chauffeur are superseded by yon aeroplane

ST. Paul Dispatch.
The next time Uncle Sam undertakes toll
hold a land lottery he shouid adopt some
plan along the line OF a suggestion made be-
fore registration for the Cheyenne and
Standing Rock reservations began, It was
proposed that those desiring land s~houlIabe
permitted to register at any county sect In
the county. The applicant was to be re-
auired to deposit 80 or 500. as might be
decided upon, II he drew a blank the
money was to be returned, II he drew a
claim the money was to be applied upon
the first payment required on his land.
Such a scheme would have saved tens Of
thousands Of dollars that were wasted in
going to the designated towns to register
during the last three weeks. It would have
limited the applicants for land to people
who are in earnest, A large percentage OF
those who registered recently have no serl-
Gus intention Of taking q claim unless they
are among the first to select land. 1t is a
gamble with them. OF course, there is no
occasion to feel sorry on their account
even II they get nothing, but there are
others entitled to more consideration.
There are tens of thousands OF people
In all parts OF the country who would take
a claim and live on it provided they could
get one that is desirable. But they do not
feel that they can afford to gamble the
cost of a Journey Of several hundred or
even thousands of miles simply on an eight
to-one chance of getting anything. Many
Of them would have been glad to register
and make a deposit IL they could have
done so at their home towns, as they
should nave been able to do.

Surveyor and Superintendent.


The candidates on the republican
county ticket for the offices of surveyor
and superintendent both have Official
records as incumbents Of the same
positions which commend them to our
voters.
For surveyor the republicans have
nominated George Mcbride, who
served as county surveyor some years
ago, but has for the last eight years
been attending to professional and pri-
vste business. Mr.. Mcbride is a civil
engineer thoroughly equal to the de-
mands OF the Office. He is the only
candidate running on either ticket
from South Omaha, and It goes with
out saying that South Omaha should
have representation in the elective
Offices in the court house. South
Omaha ought to vote the whole repub-
lican ticket in appreciation Of this
recognition as contrasted with their
complete exclusion from the demo-
cratic county ticket.
For superintendent of schools the
republican nominee. is w. A. Yoder,
present incumbent, and formerly prin-
clpal Of the schools at Florence. Mr..
Yoder has been filling this position ac-
ceptably, and to a certain extent rep
resents the county precincts, to whose
schools the county superintendent
chiefly devotes his attention.

The packers OF meat have finally let In
the light. IL Is to the grasplng greed of
the farmer and cattle raiser that the hlgh
price OF meat is due This Is because the
farmer and cattle raiser are deceltfuL They
sell diseased meat to the un%suspecting and
unsophlstioated packer. Then along comes
the government Inspector, who condemns
the meat 70 the fertilizer heap, and the
packer has TO stand the loss. The annual
loss in this way at the packing plants IL
said to amount 10 tib,0oO,O0, which, OF
course, would play havoc with dividends
II the packers did not do something about
Il. But they do, and so the snnuRl loss at
the packing plants il deftiy transferred to
the ultimate consumer, General Michael
Ryan, president OF the American Meat
Packers association, has definite Views ON
this subject. He says;
ION this matter we should take action
here by making an emphatic protest OF the
injustice done to the meat packers In COM
polling them TO suffer the loss on con-
demned animals after post norton exami-
nation. We buy our hogs, cattle and sheep
in the open market and pay prevailing
price, and we buy them as good and sound
The government should devise some way
and means, II possible, to examine them In
the yards, and II this Is Impractical they
should pay the packer for the condemned
carcasses after a post norton"
General Ryan's remedial plan Il sim
plicity itself. Instead Of the packers losing
the money on condemned cattle the govern
ment would lose II, and as the govern,
ment's money Ia merely the peoples money,
OF course. II does not cost anything, How
ever. there may be some people skeptteal
enough to doubt that, even II the packers
were SO reimbursed. Il would result in any
lowering OF the retail price OF meat; ana
n IL did not the effect would be that the
purchaser would be paying twice for the
loss-onoe to the packer through the gov
eminent and again to the packer through
the retailer. The excellence Of General
Ryan's plan will be apparent to every
packer.
II might be asked why such capable bus-
mess men as the packers do not devise
some way OF protecting themselves instead
of depending on the government TO DO So
II may be the governments business 70
stamp out cattle disease wherever 1t Is
found in the herd, as II Is its business 70
protect consumers, who must otherwise
take the butchers word for II, against the
sale Of diseased meat. But the packers are
dealing with the raw material In large
quantities, and to the ordinary consumer
n seems that It is their business to protect
instead OF expecting the gov
eminent to do so at the peoples expense

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The great surplus OF freight cars on the
railroads Of the United States, which
amounted to more than 100000 in the worst
Of the after-panic depression, In 1908, has
disappeared. The shortages on some roads
about balance the small excess on others.
The cars which carry merchandise are
busy, The best railroad managers in the
country foresee that there will shortly be
an imperative demand for facilities which
the railroads now lack for handling much
greater quantities of freight than they
ever moved in the best boom years Of the
past. The, shops are rushed with orders
for new cars and other railway equipment.
This is proof enough. in itself, OF the
full return Of good times. The railroads
could not be so busy It the traffic Of the
country were not at high tide. There is
no record Of any such activity in the I'M
profitable movement Of merchandise or the
transaction of business which did not
pay. II is impossible to imagine such a re-
viyal of railway traffic in any but pros
porous times.
It Is certain now that Taft's administra-
ton will go into history as a period Of
good times and rapid growth. 1t will be
linked with great national expansion and
money-making on an unprecedented scale.
That fact alone will go far toward making
it impossible to conduct a successful cam
paign against the president II he runs for
q second term.
