Orop Failures Have a Value.

Adversely generally brings its own
recompense and 80 crop failures, par
tial or In whole, are Of value as teach
ing people the lesson Of thrift and
economy. This year in certain sec
tons OF the country some crops will
not be up to normal, though We seem
to have got past such a thing as q
complete crop failure. Already there
is ample evidence to prove that not
only farmers, but others are going to
derive much profit from this partial
failure, profit, which may not be sub
ject to computation In dollars and
cents, but which. nevertheless, has an
intrinsic money value.
Continuous bumper crop seasons
have enriched farmers and others, but
at the same time they have made them
little less thoughtful of the tomor-
row. Money has been spent for many
things not altogether needed on the
farms, and banks have been exceed
ingly generous with their loans Now
they are drawing In very decidedly
on that policy, while farmers are likely
to spend only what money this year
they need TO spend. 1t should not be
desirable to pursue the lines OF
fruEAlity to the limit OF Gripping any
form Of legitimate business, but 1t Ii
not gripping business to discourage
waste or excessive expenditures.
Nothing has done as much to brinl
about scientific, intensified methods
OF farming as crop failures. They
have driven farmers and scientists &c
the necessity Of deVising means of In
ereasing outputs. They have led TO q
better system OF treating the soil
selecting the seed and harvesting ths
product, as well as marketing II. The
old way Of farming was to pillow, SOW

Sitting the Immigrants.

Uncle Sam stands at the ports of en-
try with q great sieve Into which every
alien landing upon American shores
falls and he shifts 1t to separate the
good from the bad, the desirable from
the undesirable, getting the very best
sort of results. Last year, or for the
fiscal year Just closed, 1,041,570 for
signers fell through this screen, while
l6 ,9O4 stayed in it. These 1904
represented idiots, criminals, near
criminals, pappers, beggars and dis
eased persons, while the million we're
apparently men and women of sound
bodies and minds come for the serious
purpose of making living and being
good citizens.
1t Is great system that separates
the desirable from the undesirable in
this matter of immigration, and while
not infallible, 1t operates with aston
ishing success and is fortified by other
regulations rectifying its mistakes,
We need these foreign-born people in
the United States and could use more
than we are getting. AS a matter of
fact, in spite OF the common notion
that We are being oyerrun by them,
this number OF 1,04l,670 is 29O, 900
less than the number of immigrants
the year before, tremendous falling
on. This undoubtedly will be a mat
ter of much surprise to the general
public because a million foreigners a
year looks so large. Those that are
coming are of the sturdy European ma
lions, chiefly, that have no other object
than industry before them and as rap
idly as they come they are finding EN-
| ployment at much better wages and
i living under much better conditions
than they ever found at home and OF
course In time they naturally undergo
corresponding improvement.
The governments report shows that
the doleful predictions of some of our
political economists OF few years age
are not being fulfilled as to the Fill
pinos and Hawaiians, for in one year
only sixty-one Pacific islanders of al
kinds have come to our shores. Those
people. therefore, who predicted that
with the annexation of Hawaii and tbs
acquisition of the Philippines We
would soon be ovGrrun by the paupel
labor % these peoples have not quite
made good on their pessimism.

A Signboard Suggestion.

A community, no less than an indi-
yidual, shows its up-to-dateness by be-
ing alert to appreciate and adapt new
ideas wherever 1t may find them. Here
is a suggestion that comes to us by
way of Topeka. where the Topeka
Motor league has undertaken to erect
signs In the nature Of guide posts on
all the roads around Topeka.
1t is explained that these signs will
be erected in a few weeks and placed
on posts along the roads leading into
the city to show travellers, whether in
autos or not, which are the hest roads
leading into Topeka. The signs are
to be 10 by 18 inches and will be
erected, 200 In number, bearing, be-
sides the words, The Best Road to
Topeka" the shield OF the Topeka
Motor league, which is a circle in q
square, and whict shield is to be dis
played likewise on the radiator Of the
motor car of each member of the
league.
We are not advised whether there
is any best road" into Omaha. but
there are many roads into Omaha
which strangers would more readily
recognize and follow If equipped with
guide posts. II it is desirable to havS
street signs on thoroughfares in tbs
city 1t would seem desirable, also, K
have signs occasionally on the countr!
roads leading to the city.

Business Prosperity.

Stock market flurries come and go
during periods of great prosperity as
we'll as in times Of severe depression,
and are influenced by extraneous con-
ditions, so that II is scarcely fair to
accept them as an index to business.
Many causes operate to change the
status OF speculative trade in a twink
ling and wall street is q barometer
rather than a cause in the business
world.
Railroad gross earnings form a
sure index to actual conditions and
this being true, we must conclude
that real business is on the upward
grade, for railroad gross earnings are
inclined that way. Taking fifty-three
Of the leading railroads the country
over, the Financial Chronicle, a weekly
publication decidedly friendly to the
railroads, shows an increase in aggre-
gate gross earnings of SS,S56,S24, or
1914 per cent for the month of June
over the corresponding month last
year and these receipts exceed any
for a June since 1907, when every
record was broken. But, we find
from still later compilation, that this
increase is still going on and for the
first tive weeks in July there was a
total railroad gross earning of $751;
41s,s71, for all roads reporting, which
represents a per cent gain.
The relation Of the railroads to gen.
eral trade is SO close and sensitive as
to preclude the possibility of serious
discrepancies.
Wall street does not admit that
conditions are bright, but 1t could find
some evidence II It chose. Hammer
ing down Of stocks and securities il
too often done for private purposes tc
be accepted as sincere demonstra-
ton. People prefer more tangible evil

PlayinR Politics.

Governor Shallenberger will deceive
no one but himself In his latest
maneuver. The evidences Of bad
faith in his assault on the ire and
police commissioners and the chief OF
police Of Omaha is the most apparent
feature Of the case. He has carefully
singled out the republicans on the
board, emitting any reference to
Mayor Dahlman, whose public pro-
nouncements certainly entitle him to
be considered along with the others
as being opposed to the governors pet
theories Of law enforcement. Messrs.
Hoye, Hunter and Wappich have con-
sistently and persistently stood for the
enforcement Of the Slocumb law and
the daylight closing law, while Mayor
Dahlman has persistently and insist
emily declared in favor of a wide-open
town.
The animus Of the present outburst
is easily understood. 1t is simply an
effort on part Of Shallenberger to
strengthen himself against Dahlman in
the primary fight. Several weeks age
the governor delivered himself Of q
spectacular warning" to omaha's au-
thorities, indicating that 1t was his in
tention to make his primary campaign
on the issue of the state against
Omaha. He realizes that by his du'
plicity he has lost any right to expect
support at the primaries in Omaha and
Douglas county. 1t Is, therefore, his
plan to go before the state and parade
Omaha as an iniQuitous center of law
breakers and law-defers, and to prove
his sincerity" he will show to the PEG.
Pile outside of Douglas county that he
at least, has proceeded as far as the
law will allow him to so, and has de-
manded that the republican members
of the Fire and Police board, elected
by the citizens Of Omaha, be removed
from Office.
Two years ago Governor Shallen
berger played both ends to the middle
and was elected to his present once BY
a combination of the Rnti-sRlooT
league and brewery support. Whether
he can succeed in his present effort t.
dupe the people again can only be tolt
when the votes are cast.

whOops of JOY for President Taft's
Two Months Vacation Plan.
Philadelphia Ledger.
One of the Taft policies which will be
approved is that Of two months
vacation for everybody. The president
could not have chosen a better time than
the end of July to promulgate this at
tractive proposition nor better place than
Bar Harbor, where two months is counted
only short vacation.
1t is true that midsummer is the only
time when the denizens Of Bar Harbor
are called upon to exert themselves, but
that illustrates all the better the merits
of the general proposition. 1t is expected,
of course, that during the two months sus-
pension the innkeepers, boatmen and gen
eral purveyors should continue to work;
but they can take their holiday at any
other time of year. If they can confine a
years work to two OF three months the rest
Of us might get 1t into ten.
At the more leisurely pace of former
generations, the human machinery easily
ran fifty weeks in the year; now we run
so fast and run down so soon that we need
at least two months in the twelve to tank
up" Since not all OF us earn enough in
ten months TO last us Tor Twelve, or can
easily be spared so long from our places
in the general organization, the only truly
economical plan would be for US all to
stop together. A few would have to keep
on working to provide for our daily per-
sonal needs, but that is a mere detail.
Think what waste of futile energy might
be spared II we all gave up the pretense
Of working and carrying on business
through August.
The vacation must be simultaneous to

Who is to BlameG

when the head OF one of the large
Chicago banks broke the institution
by hypothecating funds to his own
use, general surprise was expressed
that such a thing could be done, but
what about great defalcations COM
mlttsd by subordinate officers Of
banksP Is not that matter of far
more surprise?
In New York City a young cashier
gets away with 100000 and a mere
bookkeeper OF q trust company in

entire surplus Of more than million
dollars by series of misappropria-
lions. In each case the Oscillations
covered long period OF time
How can such things be done? is
the question that must force itself
upon the public. How Is 1t possible
that q cashier, to say nothing of q
bookkeeper, can rob . bank blind
without the responsible heads OF the
bank finding It outf And in neither
of these cases, no more than in many
others, is there any suggestion that of
Ulcers higher up had any previous
knowledge of the pseulations,
1t is difficult to read of these
frauds without coming to the con-
clusiOn that the system of business
that makes such things so easily pos
sibls Is wrong, radically wrong end
that higher authority than the man
who commits the deed is to blame for
not removing the possibility. Banking
should be 80 fortified that no In
dividual. subordinate or otherwise,
could carry on such a system of
peCulations. II seems strange that
with all the splendid science and skill
we put into the business OF banking
We have so long left this channel Ct
temptation and potential crime open.
There should be no delay In closing 1t.
