Nebraska and the Doctors.

One of the doctors who took part IN
the anti-tuberculosis congress at
Washington during the week rather
severely criticised the Nebraska legis-
lature for the tuberculosis sanitarium
law passed at the last session. IL ap-
pears that the Nebraska lawmakers
have gone rather faster than the doc
tors desired. This can be accounted
for only on the theory that the mem
bers of the legislature thought per
haps that they could not have too
much of a good thing, but the doctors
hold otherwise. The mistake made,
IL mistake 1t was, is not vital to the in
tent Of the law While the process of
immunization by incubation required
by the Nebraska law does not meet the
approval of all the doctors, 1t certainly
has the support of some, else 1t would
not have been adopted. Holding Ne
braska up to ridicule because of the
enthusiasm of men unframed in med
ical lore is not the best way to attract
popular support to the effort to stamp
out tuberculosis.
One OF the chief features of the crit
icism hitherto levied against the law
makers has been their indifference ON
this point. They have been accused
of appropriating money to protect farm
animals, while refusing to give the
same assistance to human beings. The
Nebraska legislature approached the
question with the zeal of a new con-
vert and undertook to provide all that
might be essential in the effort to pro-
tect humanity against the great white
plague, as we'll as to relieve those al
ready suffering from its attack. This
spirit is to be commended, even If it's
manifestation does not wholly COM
mend itself to the experts who have
agreed on very few points, especially
when those few points are compre-
hended in the Nebraska law. If the
immunization feature of the law is
seriously Objectionable it can easily be
removed Rebuking lawmakers be-
cause they are unable to follow the
qualifications of medical debate is not
calculated to provide the solution.

The School and the State.

Germany is today one of the strong
est of world powers and her progress
dates from the time she adopted the
principle enunciated by one of her
foremost thinkers, Whatever we put
into the state we must first put into
the schools It is automatic to speak
of the German as a thinker. He Is
essentially the kind OF thinker that
Ambassador James Bryce was plead
ing for in a recent speech-an indie
pendent thinker; he does his own
reasoning. And this is largely be-
cause of the character of his early
school training. He has come to 1t
through slow, but sure, processes.
Americans boast, and rightly so, of
their system of education. their public
schools particularly, but American
parents want to change their general
view of the public school before their
children derive the largest benefits
that may flow from it. They want to
view the school, not simply as a build
ing where children are taught to read
and write and spell and a few other
things, but rather as the institutional
center of their lives, a place where
they shall learn the lessons in funda-
mental government, a process for
character training. They need to re-
gard the school as the foundation
stone of civic life, as the vitals, not
the limbs OF the body polite. The
children, OF course, have their higher
lesson to learn. 1t is for them to be
taught to exalt the idea and ideal of
education, but they will not be likely
70 learn this lesson thoroughly until
the parent has learned his.
But progress is being made toward
this better goal, whether the essence
OF statesmanship, as comprehended In
the Germans epigrsm, is sufficiently
permeating our public school system
or not, We need but to look at the

WHAT I BELIEVE.


Laura W. Sheldon in New York Times.
In this varied, wild assortment-umpty-
seven kinds of creeds-
One is bound to reconsider what one things
and what one reads;
But I've come to the conclusion that no
one is going to grieve
over what / chance to fancy or about
what l believe.
l may think the stars are tinfoil and the
moon made out of cheese:
That it's wrong to smile on Sunday, or to
eat three meals or sneeZe;
may think that it's my duty to give
much and naught receive,
But my neighbor will not worry over
what may believe,
may relegate divorces to the realm of
evil ways,
shun the wine cup and the highball and
be adamant toward plays.
I may have my fixed opinions and my lit
tie breast may heaVe,
But nobody cares a farthng what do or
do not believe.
may have a lot of wisdom-be progressive
up to date;
See hundred years before me-mayhap
the milliennal gate;
/ may know that certain methods would
mans coming doom reprieve,
But there's no one going to listen TO the
things that believe.
SO I've learned that 1t is wiser no great
sympathy 70 lose.
But let all secure salvation through the
Hines they seem TO choose;
And II to some precious notion, Wlse or
foolish. / eth oleave
1t will not make any difference to the
world what believe

Former President Nord Alexis of Haiti

age and no one to boss helped some.
1t is the solemn opinion of New Yorl;

The governor of Tennessee has a pardon

Do Not Scatter Your Fire.

The clergy is still asking the ques-
ton, ''Why do not more men attend
church," One minister who sent out
several hundred letters of inquiry to
as many men read the answers, tore
them up and from the whole formed
the concrete conclusion, Because
they do not want to-"
This conclusion presupposes the
present to be an irreligious age,
view which ministers as a whole are
not content to take. They are show
ing a disposition at last to turn the
searchlight of inquiry inward, and this
gives some encouragement for a solu-
ton of their problem. At recent
gathering of ministers in Omaha a
prominent attorney, active in church
affairs, delivered toast, THE Pew's
View of the Pulpit" in which he took
the position that too many ministers
scatter their fire and do not concen-
trate enough, and also that as a con-
sequence they too frequently go into
Irreligious age or not, this is an age
when men are thinking, when the
spellbinder in pulpit or on the stump
cannot sway peoples minds as ne once
did unless he has a message. The
preacher who spends most of the week
running from pillar to post in matters
thai concern him only in proportion 10
his individual relation to society can
not be thoroughly prepared to instruct
and enlighten his congregation on
Sunday, and ne cannot expect long to
hold the attention unless he gives
something more than the husls of
superficial thought which he has been
able to snatch up on the run. Complete
preparation, coupled with deep con
viction and backed by an irreproach-
able character will go a long way
toward insuring the preacher a respect
full hearing. 1t is strange, too. that
ministers do not see that II each pastor
concentrated his energy on the work
Of his own church he would soon re-
move the occasion for diverting his
activities Infusion of this generating
force into the membership of each
church would soon arouse them all
into live, working community, each
member doing his part. And Is not
this, after all, one of the ends to be
attained?

Healthy Public Sentiment.

Men of vast fortunes are giving
and other worthy causes. Andrew
Carnegie breads the thought of dying
rich, John d. Rockefeller organizes
corporation by which he may dispense
his wealth, d. K. Pearsons chucKles
in boastful glee that he at 80 has
only a few millions left, while Mrs.
Russell Sage, Miss Anne Morgan, Miss
Helen Gould and others are proceeding
with varied plans Of giving. Mani
testify among the "big rich" the vision
of the purpose of wealth has changed
as well as has the attitude toward the
less fortunate member of society.
What has brought about the change?
Does Christ's warning to Nicodemus
alarm them? Does the ominous eye of
the needle stare the rich in the face?
Have they come at last to the real
answer to that immortal query thun-
dered through the ages, Am ! my
brothers keeper"
The extent OF this influence is not
to be measured, but it requires no
supernatural vision TO see that a
healthy assertive public sentiment has
produced good results. The voice of
the people is the motive power of the
government and this voice has been
raised in popular disapproval of the
boarding of fabulous fortunes until it
has brought a response. Through the
channels of public expression, chiefly
the daily press, on the platform and
in legislation, the people have spoken
decisively in the last few years and
they have created a sentiment which
is working out it's own results. 1t is
one of the best achievements wrought
in this country, this thing of enlisting
the service of millionaires in solving
everyday problems of human life and
destiny and it is an inevitable refuta-
ton of that pessimistic disclaimer
against. wealth merely as wealth.

England's New King.

The ascent of George V to the
throne as king of England transcends
in world interest the passing of his
illustrious father and must be fraught
with feeling of apprehension by even
the closest friends of Great Britain in
the family of nations. The new king
finds his country on the threshold of
new era in it's civic life, facing a
political crisis from which it can
emerge with safety only by the exer-
else OF the wisest craftsmanship.
When a single misstep might plunge
it into grave danger, it is a severe
crucible in which to try the metal of
a sovereign.
But King George brings to the
throne no inconsiderable qualities to
match his great task. He is in the
prime of life, vigorous, alert, deter
mined. He is as progressive as was
Edward, If not as democratic and has
had experience to season his powers.
On more than one occasion he has dis
played a knowledge of affairs and
breadth of view and conception of
fare that have opened the eyes of his
and other nations. His famous speech
after touring the colonies calling on
England to wake up" still rings in
the ears of commons and peers alike.
The fact is the feeling of misgiving
attending his ascension will arise more
because of the change in rulers than
because George becomes king, for
neither his people nor others will have
the doubt of him that they had of his
father when ne went TO the throne on
the death of Victoria.
Fortunately for him, the new king
will have his fathers sober judgment
and even temperament to guide him
In the present turmoil of national poll
tics and at the very outset becomes
heir to his wisdom in securing a late
date for the election which is to go so
far toward shaping the future of the
kingdom. 1t is inconceivable that Ed
ward could have foreseen his end in
exerting his influence against a spring
election, but in the light of events he
could have acted from no wiser motive,
fer it would have been extremely con-
fusing for the change in rulers to come
in the midst, or on the eve of general
election as would have happened had
not the election been put off until fall
But the most beneficent legacy of
craftsmanship which King Edward be-
queathed his son and people in the
ordeal of this crisis is to be found in
the fact that today, while Parliament
and the country are torn with party
strife, the throne is not on trial. And
il would have been on trial long ago
but for the cool diplomacy of the
ruler who has just laid down the
scepter,

Starting Them Right.

The agitation over immigration leg
islation and the investigation into con
ditions confronting the immigrant
after landing in this country seem to
be having at least one good result in
directing attention to some Of the weak
spots In our immigration machinery.
That our Unprecedented growth and
prosperity is in large part due to the
steady influx of new population from
abroad is universally admitted, and
even those who cry for further restric-
ton are careful to inveigh only against
the undesirable immigrant That we
have been altogether too neglectful of
the newcomer, and that this Neglect
has much to do with the degree Of
desirability is also becoming palmer.
With vast undeveloped resources
and the Unsuitable demand for skilled
and unskilled labor in some parts of
the country all the time, it is found
that the immigration problem is COM
plicated for the most part by the in
adequate means of distribution with
resultant congestion in the big cities
in which the immigrants first debark.
The immigration authorities have been
exercising scrupulous care in sitting
the incoming throngs as they go
through the gates, but once within our
borders the immigrant has been left
to shift for himself and get his bear
ings as best he may in a strange land
amidst unaccustomed surroundings,
and among people speaking a, to him,
foreign tongue.
The principal thing needed by the
immigrant when he arrives here is
help and guidance to get started right.
Give half chance to the man who has
the energy and grit to break all home
ties in order to achieve better things
in a new land, and he will take care
of himself In New York state where
the immigration problem presses heavi-
est, 1t is proposed to establish and
maintain a state immigration bureau
to look after the new arrivals, put
them in touch with friends and rela-
tives, assist them to reach their points
of ultimate destination and to protect
them in the interval against fraud and
spoliation in the numerous pitfalls
that are spread for them-in word
to make easier the transit from OPP
preston and dependence to freedom
and self-support.
This duty does not devolve on New
York state alone, but should be met
by other states as we'll, and perhaps
by the general government itself 1t
goes without saying that where the
states undertake to extend this help
to the immigrant the federal i'm
migration authorities should by all
means cooperate in every possible
way. This country need have no fear
about keeping its gates wide open to
the ambitious and energetic people of
the old world who may want to come
here, If only we see to it that they
start right.

to the building of new railroads, the
creation Of new centers of population
and the opening up Of new regions of
agriculture that the mention of one or
another excites scarcely passing notice.
But amidst this general stir and hustle
the activity now animating the whole
western country is worthy of attention.
Great railroad systems have appropri-
ated enormous sums of money for the
purpose Of putting themselves into con
dition to care for the steadily growing
traffic and to provide for the needs of
the communities they serve. New
projects for the extension of the agri-
cultural domain are taking on daily
the form Of actual existence. A steady
stream of new population is pouring
into the western states. Not one of
them has a monopoly on this growth,
but all the region generally referred to
as the west" shares in 1t. At no time
since the great days Of the early rush
to the fertile lands of the Great Plains
has the uplift been more marked than
1t is during the present spring. This
is the most encouraging sign now in
sight. 1t means new life, new homes
new towns, greater growth and greater
wealth, and a greater share In the gen
eral bounty of the country for the peo-
pie who are already established in the
