The Stuff of Soldiers.

A thrill of pride must quicken the
pulses of Americans who read of the
experiences of the West Point cadets
in their efforts to reach Washington
on the morning of March 4 in time to
take a star part in the inaugural pa
rade. The 400 cadets, travelling in
two special trains, reached Baltimore
about Z o'clock in the morning to find
the wires down and the track between
Washington and Baltimore blocked
with snowdrifts. Railroad men could
offer no encouragement and rather
frowned upon the proposition of Colo
mel Sibley to make a way There
are more telegraph poles on the tracks
between here and Washington than
there are standing, reported the rail-
road superintendent. The com
mandant replied that the cadets would
attend to that and the special trains
were allowed to start their fight
against the blockade.
When the first section cleared the
Baltimore tunnel, the snow from
which had been shoveled by the
cadets, the snow was falling in a
binding sheet. The train was stopped
and a member of the victorious foot
ball team of West Point led the charge
with 200 of his fellows. Telegraph
poles were removed and dangerous
Instructions piled into the ditch. Old
railroad men who were out clearing
the tracks gaped in wonder at the vim
and intelligence with which the cadets
tackled the obstruction problem and
the scientific way in which they re-
moved obstacles. In an hour the track
had been cleared to an open space,
some nineteen miles in length. Then
the second relay came up and tool
relief duty. At noon only five miles
separated the cadets from the national
capital. The cadets worked with
clock-like regularity and with as much
discipline as though they we're in an
engineering corps clearing the way for
an army to go through to Washing
ton in war time. At 1 o'clock they
pulled into the Washington terminal
and two battalions of cadets, spick and
span in the dress uniforms to which
they had changed and showing no
signs of the forty miles of hard work,
marched out of the station to take
their places in the inaugural parade.
No ~livelier body of men passed the
reviewing stand and no military or
ganization showed a line so perfect
or a step so springy. Six hours after
the parade the cadets we're back in
West Point and at their regular work.
1t was all a part of a days work. or
such stuff are the American soldiers
made.

Reform for Revenge

One OF the most depolrable condi-
tions that has prevailed in Nebraska
has been the opposition Of a number
Of interested persons to the growth of
Omaha and Douglas county. This
dates back to the earliest times in the
history of the state, when the rivalry
vas keen for political and commercial
eminence. 1t is needless now to re-
count the various phases and NANTES
tations of this rivalry, or the bitterness
that grew out Of the fact that Omaha
became the business and industrial
center of the state.
II is not true, as has often been
charged, that Omaha has sought to
dominate the affairs of the state,
either in business or politics. The
spirit that has prevailed in Omaha has
always been that what is good for Ne
braska is good for Omaha, and along
this line the citizens of the metropolis
have consistently proceeded. The
same cannot be said for some other
and smaller communities In the state.
A great many have proceeded, ap-
~parently, along the line that what is
good for st. Joe, or Kansas City, or
st. Louis, or some other outside point.
Is good for Nebraska. Periodically
Omaha is submitted to public criticism
and abuse by men, who, while pre-
tending to act for the state. are really
acting for some selfish purpose and
hoping that by arrayink the state
against Omaha they can cur their
own selfish ends.
When the revenue bill that is now
the law was before the legislature the
citizens OF Omaha we're at Lincoln
fighting the hardest to secure the en-
actment OF a law that would place the
burden Of taxation equally where it
belongs, and the corporations then
used the cry that is now being raised
to align the country votes against
Omaha in order that certain provisions
Of the law should be moulded to
suit the convenience of the railroads,
When the terminal tax bill was pend
ing the same night was carried on, but
In this Omaha's argument prevailed
and every community in the state
profits as a result of the enactment Of
that law. The cry of reform in the
revenue law is again raised in the leg
i%slature and the author OF the pro-
posed law defends his action by at
lacking Omaha n citing hat the
property owned in this city escapes
taxation. Inssmuch as these charges
have been made again and again be-
fore the State Board of Equalization
and nave been annually threshed cut
at the sittings of that body. Il must
be apparent that the proposed law is
reform for revenge rather than for
revenue. ~

The Sugar Trusts Fine.

The United States government has
won a rather important victory in the
decision of the jury in the federal dis
trlct court at New York assessing a
fine of $134,166 against the Sugar
trust, which was found guilty of de-
frauding the government by the use of
a device which caused the scales to
register untrue weights, thus cheating
the federal government OF its proper
customs duties imposed on raw i'm
ported sugar.
The decision and the fine imposed
are, of course, important, but they are
insignificant compared with the expose
of the methods of some of the big in
dustrial corporations in %defrauding
the government and gaining a distinct
advantage over competitors. The tes-
timony offered showed eonclusively
that the Sugar trust had sole owner
ship of a device, the use Of which
reduced the weight of the trusts i'm
p~ortations from 10 to 25 per cent,
owing to the needs Of the days bust
ness. II is claimed by the government
that this device was used on 234 car
goes OF sugar and that proof Of the
charge will show the government has
been deprived Of customs duties ag-
gregating nearly 100000.
The defense placed its main reli-
ance on the fact that the prosecution
was a plant" and that the informers

Reform Work for Bankers.

Convicted bankers serving terms in
the Western Pennsylvania peniten-
tiary at Pittsburg have discovered an
apparent shortage of some $4,000 in
the penitentiary accounts. and a thor
ough investigation of the books of
the institution has been ordered. One
of the banker convicts, appointed to
audit the books, discovered the dis
crepancy some time ago and other
bankers behind the bars have been
working with him to ascertain the de-
tails and extent of the misuse of
funds.
The discovery suggests a wide field
for operation in the penal institutions
of other states. Ohio has a bankers
row" in its ~penitentiary and nearly
every state in the union has one or
more bankers on it's convict roll. Most
of these men have been sent to prison
on account of the facility in doctor
ing books in order to conceal pecula-
tions and violations of the banking
law. Naturally they are the men best
| equipped to examine the books of the
big penal institutions to ascertain
whether the state is being mulcted.
The discovery in the Pennsylvania in
stitution may do much to remove the
prejudice juries apparently have
against sending bankers to prison,
even when the evidence is strongly
against them.

PERSONAL NOTES.

Most sections Of the country are dis
posed to give the ground hog a foremost
place as a winter weather prophet.
People who had the discretion to stay
away from Washington and read the papers
got the clearer idea of what happened
there.
Prof. Starr says that MIR. Roosevelt can
not survive Africa, yet the professor has
survived nine trips there. Possibly he car
ried a rabbits foot.
Rear Admiral schiey as president OF the
Arctic club appeals for funds to aid in
the rescue of DIR Frederick A. Cook. IL
Cook is alive he should be found by Peary
without the necessity of sending a special
searching party after him.
Miss Elizabeth P~lankington has presented
the Milwaukee public auditorium with a
magnificent pipe organ, TO be installed in
the largest OF the secondary halls, which
is to bear the name of the donors father,
John Plankington, in consequence of the
gift.
When F.. w. Albian, who owns a junk
yard in Armourdale, Kan. leaves his place
of business to go home at night he knows
that everything will be as he left il when
he returns in the morning. Albian has a
large timber wolf for a Watchdog. The
wolf will allow no one to touch 1t except
its master.

misfortune that the jealousy OF a num-
Der of smaller communities is continu-
ally being vented in the legislature

are proud of Nebraska, and as loyal

have no vengeance to wreak on any
one and regret deeply that any should
feel a grievance against Omaha that

THE MOTHER OF THE MAN,
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

ST. Louis Democrat.
No perfect woman she, but unafraid
She Wake the ways Of life,
A loving daughter first, then afterwards
A loyal, loving wife.
She sat upon no pedestal self-reared
In lofty pride alone,
But shoulder close with workers walked
To worldly fame unknown.
The simple duties of the common lot,
Its loves, its hopes, It's fears,
with kindly heart and steadfast faith to
brave
Whate'er might bring the years.
She had her place in life, a lowlX one;
But even In her thought
She neither shirked the task nor unearned
rest
From present duty sought.
And when a son she mothered won his
way
To fortune and to fame
The foolish world looked on and wondered
much
Whence all his courage came.

The Treasury Deficit.

President Taft's Administration be-
gins with an apparently paradoxicai
financial condition. Business condi-
lions throughout the country are sub
stsntially sound. Credit. both public
and private, il strong; imports show
a healthful increase, crop prospects
are promising and all the elements
which make for a returning prosperity
are manifest and growing. even II the
evidences of returning vitality are not
pronounced. Their existence is indis-
putable. Opposed to this situation is
the fact that the fiscal year, which will
end on June 80, is certain to show a
deflcit Of S110,0 600, 900, with a pros
pect tina it may exceed that amount.
The situation then presented is that,
while all private enterprises are pros
porous and showing daily gains, the
public account is running behind all
the time and the administration will
be pressed with the urgency of max
ing some provision to strike a balance
between income and outgo.
Since the beginning of thu yea the
government has called for She return
to the national treasury of some $685.
900, 600 held by national banks. The
imposition of an interest requirement
of 2 per CEN upon funds held by the
banks has resulted in the release of
a large amount of securities, chiefly
government bonds, which we're de-
posted as pledges for such deposits of
public money. The banks are return
ing these deposits because they have
an abundance of money from indi-
vidual depositors which they may use
without paying the interest demanded
by the government. On account of
this condition, the banks have a glut
of bonds on their hands and are nat
urally not enthusiastic over the pros
pect of the bond supply being further
augmented by the Panama bond issue.
The banks have a surfeit of bonds
bearing a low rate of interest and are
at something of a loss to know what
to do with them.
The reflex of this condition is shown
in the quotations on Panama bonds.
The earlier issues of these bonds sold
readily at 1903 or better, but are now
being bid for at par only. Should the
treasury seek to market the $45, 000,-
600 of these bonds in order to bring
the total emission up to the $13O,00 0,-
600 authorized by the Spooner act,
there is serious question whether they
could be disposed of at par, unless in
%dividuals take them for investment
purposes. as the banks can not use
them to advantage.
The situation, however, is far from
alarming. The treasury deficit is
likely to have the effect of impressing
congress with the necessity of check
ing extravaganza in appropriations
and against ill-considered legislation
on questions of finance: IL is believed
department that normal conditions
will be restored and the treasury def
icit turned to a surplus IL natural
conditions are allowed to obtain In
the way of legislation and administra-
tive policy. The first severe test of
President Taft's administration, there
fore, will be in the measures he de-
vises for the safeguarding the public
credit and restoring confidence to the
enterprises OF the country.
