HEROES OMITTED FROM ROLL
Men Who Were Forgotten I'm the
distribution Of Carnegie
Medals.

The Carnegie Hero Fund commission has
been counting the noses of the nations
Hobsons and Bayards and handing out its
annual rewards-a silver medal and $500 to
the Massachusetts boy who fished two
drowning companions from a hole In the
Ice, a bronze medal and $500 to the Afro
Kasan who snatchd a neglected infant
from the path OF lightning express, a vote
of thanks and $1,000 to the Ohio merchant
who rowed a flat-bottOmed boat through
the skyllght OF a submerged house In flood
time and rescued the family, and sundry
other gauds, decorations and sums Of
money to various other heroes, great and
small, white and black, amateur and pro-
fesslonal.
1t is pleasant to see all these noble
Cauoasians and Ethiopians rewarded. but
Il Is sad to think upon the multitude Of
other heroes whose valiant acts have gone
unhonored and unsung. Great men are al
ways modest, and most modest Of all are
great martyrs. They shrink from the glare
Of the Carnegie spot light as a schoolboy
shrinks from the clammy touch of soap.
The notion Of filing applications for recog-
niIon, after the fashion OF hungry job
seekers. Of wearing medals, like bandmas-
tiers, sandwlch men and champion buck and
wing dancers, and OF being paid In cash
for their stupendous sacriflces-this notion
stabs them In a tickiish and tender spot
and makes them writhe with disgust.
And so It happens that many Of the ma
tlon's superheroes do not appear upon the
Carnegie list. Absent Is that courageous
divine Of lows who spoke out in meet
Ing against the use Of talcum upon the
human nose. and vas driven out OF his
pulpit by the vengeful fair ones OF his
goddess flock. lie Is working today as a
candy butcher with a one-ring circus. but
he does not repine and neither does he de-
mand a medal. Absent, too, from the
honorable roll is the noble Buffalonlan
who placed rat traps In his trousers pock-
cts, and so ended, by armed force. the
nocturnal burglarles OF his prowIing wife.
A pusillanimous Judge gave him four
years, and he Is now working IN the prison
shoeshOp, but he doesn't ask for pity. and
he doesn't cry for a Carnegian baubIe.
And absent, once more and finally. IL that
colossus Of courage who dared ask the
courts FOR an injunction restraining his
wife and mother-in-law from innietinR the
names Of Percy Roilo Rudolph upon his
loved and helpless first born. He IL a
wanderer now. with only the sky or SOM

cored, and unbefrlended. Every married
is a hero, at least potentially, for
his mother-in-law may visit his home at
any time and without warning. Every
Pittsburger is a hero, by the mere fact of
living in P%ittsburg, Every man who eats
with his knife is a hero, for he runs a con-
slant risk OF bisecting his tongue or sever
Ing his jugular vein. Every democrat In
Massachusetts is a hero and every repub-
lican in Texas, And there are multitudes
OF other heroes-the man who pays 81 to
see Camille" the man who wears spats,
the fireman who faces falling walls, the lit
erary mar who faces starvation. Even the
man who publicly advocates woman's suf-
frage is a hero, ridiculous though the idea,

SHOW THEM YOUR TICKETS
This Will Surely Relieve the German
Railway Guard of His
Sadness.

Whenever a German railway guard
feels lonesome, and does not know
what else to do with himself, lie takes
a walk round the train and gets the
passengers to show him their tickets,
after which he returns to his box
cheered and refreshed. Some people
rave about sunsets and mountains and
old, old masters, but to the German
railway guard the world can show
nothing more satisfying, more inspir-
ing, than the sight of railway ticket.
Nearly all the German railway Of
fcials have this same craving fU-
tickets. If only they get somebody
to show them railway ticket, they
are happy. 1t seemed a harmless
weakness of theirs, and B. and l de-
cided that it would be only kind to
humor them in it during our stay.

STATEHOOD IS SURE
At NEXT SESSION
1aft VIII Uurge IL In Message aud
Congress Will Not Oppose Ad-
mission of Territories.

Washington. April 22.-President
Taft is enthusiastic for statehood for
New Mexico and Arizona, and as a
result Of the requests of Delegate
Cameron of Arizona and Delegate An
drews of New Mexico. he has prom
ised to insert in his message to CON
gress next December an urgent re-
guest that Congress pass an act en-
gbling thr two territories to enter the
union as full fledged states.
Chairman Hamilton. of the House
committee on territories, has been
in consultation with the president
several times since the last Congress
In regard to the statehood question,
and will, within few days, re-intro-
duce in Congress bill enabling the
two territories to enter the union

general the one introduced at the last
session. which was drawn after many,
long conferences between officials of
the two territories the delegates and

ton of Chairman Hamilton to intro

have an opportunity to study IT dur
ing the recess. Its provisions will
be well known by the time Congress
conVcnes nvxt winter. and on this
account Il is expected that not much
time Will hc lost IN its consideration.
II is confidently believed that state
hood will be given the two terri
tories this winter without much de
lay. All the government departments
having anything To do with the terri
tories ar" unanimous In favor Of
statehood. There are said TO be over
so of the 90 votes in the Senate in
favor of admitting New Mexico and
Arizona and it is believed there will

Lincoln, April 22.-This week the
Nebraska state railway commission
will take the initiative in the task
the recent legislature laid out for it
OF fixing the physical value of rail
road telephone, telegraph and ex-
press company property in the state,
A preliminary conference was held
last week by three commissioners
and Governor Shallenberger, at
which announcement was made that
the $4,000 appropriated to begin
the work is now available.
The commissioners will proceed on
the theory that the law is perfect
and the appropriation is to be ex-
pended although 1t has been an
nounced that the validity Of the en-
actment is questioned and that suit
to test its constitutionality will be in
sttuted just as soon as an attempt
is made to use any Of the appropria-
ton or to appoint any of the super
intendents or clerks needed for the
work. 1t is said the law is discrim-
inatory in that it exempts the South

Says CUTTER SERVICE
IS NOW USELESS
Charges Are Made by Former Office
and Investigation May
BE Made.

Washington. D. G.. April 22.-
Charges by James 4. Burns, formerly
lieutenant and engineer officer I'm the
revenue cutter service, will probably
lead To an investigation. His charges
relate largely TO coast matters and
have been filed with the secretary of
the treasury. Burns charges that the
service is not properly equipped to
carry on the work OF life-saying'
that officers have frequently refused
to move To the rescue of sinking ships
until ordered to do so from Wash
ington; that the service exists with
out reason in that the Insignificant
duties performed do not warrant the
large appropriations made for its
maintenance; and finally that the
work OF protecting the seals in
Alaska is practically nothing but the
protection Of the business of the
American Commercial company. a
private corporation.
Burns charges that at the time OF
the wreck OF the liner Valencia in
January. 1906, there We're three rev
cuur cutters within a radius OF 200
miles that remained riding al their
anchors for three days until ordered
10 go to the relief of the stricken
ship by the treasury department. At
the time Of the san Francisco dis
asteT in 1906, the captain Of the cut
tor McCulloch moved his ship away
from the harbor and refused to par
ticipatc in rescue work because he
did not believe himself recognized by
