Flag Dav.

The purpose Of Flag day Is to inspire
patriotism by %ennobling the flag and
thus TO divert attention for a time
from personal and business affairs to
a duty We all owe our common coun-
try. Everyday affairs of life are so
expressing that such ~observances rein
force the obligations W. owe to the
nation Of which each is a part. They
remind us to teach the youth what the
flag mean for him and what the coun-
try may demand of him should it be-
come necessary to call for supreme
sacrifice.
Our flag is the symbol of liberty.
1t is beautiful and inspiring just to the
extent that our institutions are free
institutions, according to each the
rights which should be his. In all
countries and all ages patriotism has
been one Of mans most praised attrib-
utes and the literature Of the world is
largely the recitation Of devotion and
labor for country. II men have
throughout history died for their coun-
try in spite Of oppression, how much
greater is our duty in a land of the
free to see to it hat our flag is the
symbol Of worthy aspirations and that
It shields no dishonor or injustice to
the humblest entitled to it's protection.
Flag day does not point to past
g~lories, It asks us to pause a moment
and to make sure that the rising gen.
Grafton learns we'll the lesson that the
flag is most beautiful when unfurled
in a good cause.

THE WAY OF DREAMS.

Richard LIE Gallienne in the Delineator.
The way of dreams-the bluebird tang
Is never hard to FIND,
So soon as you have really left
The grown-up world behind.
So soon as you have come to see
That what the others call n.:
Realities. for such as you,
Are never real at all;
So soon as you have ceased to care
What others say or do,
And understand that they are they
And you-thank Godl-are you,
Then is your foot upon the path,
Your journey well begun,
And safe the road for you to tread,
Moonlight or morning sun.
Pence of this world you sh ar not take.
Yea! no provision heed;
A wild rose gathered in the wood
VIII buy you all you need.
Hungry, the birds shall bring you food.
The bees their honey bring;
And, thirsty, you the crystal drink
OF an immortal spring.
For sleep. behold how deep and soft
With moss the earth is spread,
And all the trees of all the world
Shall curtain round your bed.
Ench anted journey! that begins
Nowhere, and nowhere ends,
Seeking an ever-changing goal,
Nowhither winds and wends;
For destination yonder flower,
For business yonder bird;
Aught better worth the travelling to
I never saw or heard.
o long dream-travel of the soul!
First the green earth TO tread
And still yon other starry track
To travel when you're dead.

Magoon is Optimistic.

The pessimistic views of Cuba's flu
lure are not shared by former Gov
ernor Charles e. Magoon, and his ex-
ceptional opportunities for knowing
the men and conditions there entitle
the opinions he has just expressed to
more than ordinary weight. He in
sists that both financially and indus
trially the outlook is encouraging. The
sugar and tobacco planters are pros
porous and there is no inherent reason
why the islands m should not
develop. improvements in internal
communication have increased oppor-
tunities for profit and opened up
hitherto inaccessible sections, giving
steady employment to labor, and thus
removed one Of the chief elements of
danger to governmental stability.
Governor Magoon's estimate Of Pres
ident Gomez is a high one, though ne
admits the difficulties of his position
are nan and serious. Organizing a
new government is always an ~exacting
task and particularly 80 in a country
like Cuba, where political ambition is
so plentiful and unyielding. Governor
Magoon is not disappointed at the un-
rest and dissatisfaction in Cuba, but,
on the contrary, is surprised that it has
not been greater, and givej credit for
this to the ability and tact Of Presi-
dent Gomez. He suggests that 1t may
be unfair to Gomez to compare the
tranquility and progress during Amer.
lean occupation with that Of his
regime. All factions realized that
American occupation was temporary
and that acquiescence afforded the
quickest way of ~disposing of it. Its
authority was autocratic and It's powers
unlimited and so long as no injustice
was threatened trouble was unlikely
! But deprivation of spoils during thai
period simply whetted the appetite o.
the spoilsmen and restoration OF homt
government loosened restraint anC
gave play to personal a~ntagonisms anC
ambitions.
For these reasons Governor Magoor
sees no seriously disquieting signs IL
Cuba and 1t is certainly to be hoped
that his conclusions may not prove un
founded.

Auto Club Opportunities.

When Omaha automobiles were
few in number they organized a club
which started out with large promises
and a pr~etentious program, but the
club, like many others, seemed to Ian
guish and to fall short on achievement.
Now that the number of AUTOMOBILE
lists in Omaha has increased and null"
tiplied, the opportunities for an effec-
tive automobile club should not be
neglected.
No one can enforce rules Of common
sense and safety in the driving of
autos as we'll as the automobilists
themselves. A club with a code of
rules scru~pulously lived up to by its
own members would set an example
for every auto driver hat would be
salutary and preventive OF accidents.
A live, up-to-date auto club could
cooperate with Ak-Sar-Ben, with the
Commercial club and with the various
convention entertainment committees,
and by a little public spirit contribute
materially to enhancing Omaha's repu'
tation for hospitality.
An Omaha man who recently re-
turned from a visit to Detroit reporh
that an auto club there has organized
weekly outings for poor children, in.
mates of orphan asylums and others
who would benefit by such a treat.
A strong pub~lic-spirited automobile
club in Omaha could make itself heard
and felt.

Bryan's Precept and Practice.

While Mr.. Bryan has been denounc-
ing in unsparing language democratic
senator's and congressman voting for
tariff duties to protect industries in
their home districts, some Of the demo-
Gratis hut read out of their party are
recalling that when Mr.. Bryan was
himself in congress he assumed pracr
tically the same attitude that they do
now.
Mr.. Bryan was elected to congress
first in 1890 and reelected in 1892 on
the same ticket and at the same time
that Grover Cleveland was chosen pres
ident. The democratic national plat
form Of 1892 declared Internationally
for the abolition of the 10 per cent tax
on state bank notes and for the repeal
Of the Sherman silver purchase act. In
spite of the platform pledges, however,
Mr.. Bryan recorded himself against
the repeal of the Sherman act and in
June, 1894, during his term in con-
gress to which he was elected on the
national platform of 1892, he likewise
voted against the repeal of the tax on
state bank issues. In explaining his
vote, Mr.. Bryan said:
1t has been stated hat every democrat
is In duty bound to vote for the repeal Of
the state bank tax because of the plank
relating to that subject adopted by the last
democratic national convention. A plat
form can only bind those who run upon 1t
The question is now asked with
what consistency Mr.. Bryan can under
take to deny the democracy of senators
and congressman voting against free
lumber because the Denver platform
declared for free lumber when he,
himself, voted against the repeal OF the
state bank tax in spite of the platform
plank pledging it. If Mr.. Bryan was
exempt from the binding force of the
national democratic platform in 1892
because 1t was made for the democratic
presidential candidates while he was
running for congress, the same logic
would free the present democratic
senators and congressman from any
obligation to carry out the pledges of
the platform which Mr.. Bryan dictated
for adoption at Denver in 1908. In
neither case had the party platform
declarations been rendered nugatory
by anything that had happened after
election and before the action of con-
gress. The parallel is complete in all
respects, with the single exception that
in 1894 1t was Bryan who repudiated
the platform, while in 1909 1t is Bryan
who is assailing the platform repudia-
tore.
The resurrection Of this ancient his
tory is, of course, chiefly OF anti
quarian interest, particularly to repub-
licans who occupy the position of on
lockers at the contention within the
democratic ranks. Since he has be-
come a private citizen, Mr.. Bryan haf
become much more impressed with the
duty resting on those in office to dis
charge their platform pledges, but in
exercising his self-assumed function:
Of monitor his own record stands out
as an embarrassment.

Denver Republican.
What looks like ar end to the wakfare
Of the cattlemen against the sheepmen OF
Wyoming seems to have been reached by
the settlement agreed upon between them.
BY this agreement the cattlemen pledge
themselves to refrain In future from raids
upon sheep camps and the wholesale de-
struction of property which attends such
raids. Certain valuable range heretofore in
dispute has been left to the sheepmen.
All which shows that the sheepmen have
gained a great victory, which in all prob
ability will leave them in the future in
peace.
1t will be fortunate for Wyoming in
dustrially and in respect of It's good name
II this settlement shall be an end to the
disputes which have disturbed certain
parts Of that state for years, and which
have indicated a condition OF lawlessness
deplored by everyone having the welfare OF
Wyoming at heart.
The cattlemen nave done well to enter
into the agreement, for the development
OF any industry legitimate in Itself, can
not be prevented BY lawlessness. Insofar
as conditions favor the sheep business
rather than cattle growing. the former
will prevail, however great the opposition
may be. Common sense suggests that the
cattlemen should recognize this and adapt
themselves TO the new conditions with as
good a grace as possible.

Go Easy on the Graduate,
CollIer'a WeAklv-

Don't be too severe on him. The yearly
jokes about the college graduate form one
OF the largest and most relIable Of crops,
but why forget that vanity seldom disap-
pears with age? Those who have had the
advantage of twenty or forty years OF
conflicts still admire themselves. Vanity
Is among the most difficult traits to under
stand. 1t might be supposed that even a
limited intellect would appear to itself a
pathetic atom in a mighty universe; yet
standardization exists, and occasionally
even in superior men. Go easy, therefore,
on the graduate. Youth is often out OF
focus, but that lack of perspective is not
peculiar to our early years. If one is ever
conceited is he not likely to remain con.
ceited to the end?
