Our treatment for this disease has been

Proposed BenefactiOn of the Standard
OIL King.
New York World.

New York World.
Mr.. Rockefeller's benefaction will be con-
sidered for some time to come in the light
shed by Standard OIL. Motives will be
ascribed. Doubts will be expressed. The
money faint will be suggested.
Yet It is reasonably certain that In due
season the good which this splendid gift
must accomplish will be separated in mems
minds from the methods Of the grinding
monopoly through which the Rockefeller
fortune was accumulated. The hundreds
Of millions which go to establish the new
foundations for the advancement Of civ
ilizatton, the spread Of knowledge and the
relief Of suffering will not make privilege,
extortion and monopoly more tolerable.
That much is sure. Properly used every
one Of these dollars will work forever
against a repetition of such wrongs.
This is not the only foundation whose
bedrock cannot be scrutinized agreeably.
Empires, thrones, a~ristocracies, society It,

Without money derived from sources now

The offences of standard Oil are one
thing. The benevolent employment Of some

Heading off the Hat Pin.

When Is q hat pin not a hat pin? A
Chicago alderman replies, when it is
a snickersnee." He raises his voice in
forcible protest against the encroach-
ments on the right OF mere man to
live, move and have his being free
from the peril of being dissected, BIZ
sected and cloven by the cutlasses and
rapiers usually concealed in the dirigi-
BILE headgear affected by all-conquer-
ing oma The burGen of his plea
is that amidst the flowers, chickens,
ducks and geese, vegetables, ribbons,
lace, corn beef and cabbage and ba-
nanas 30 very common as millinery
decorations the rapier hat pin is a
concealed weapon, a nuisance, a
menace to the tout ensemble of every
contiguous human Visage and at
reasonable grimace in the direction Of
the goddess of liberty and the peace of
the community.
But why this protest? Can not a
Chicago alderman defend himself? The
anti-hatpin alderman should remember
that the majority of the American men
are modest, and during the reign of
the sheath skirt, directoire and tuber-
cular gowns. did not dare ride on the
street cars except early in the morn
ing. So It really looks very undiplo-
matte Of him to require the rapier to
give way to the short sabre hat pins.
Is it any wonder the women present
hooted HMM a very ladylike way
as he spoke?
A look into the future of styles for
men would have saved such universal
condemnation for the OFFENDING alder
man. Men should be compelled to
wear FLINDERS. A helmet Of heavy

A Nebraska Conservation Congress.

A Nebraska Conservation Congress.
Steps have been taken for holding
what is to be known as a Nebraska
Conservation congress along the lines
which have been pursued in a number
Of other states, but with an accredited
membership that will make 1t
practically a mass convention. If the
congress takes up and discusses the
various phases Of the conservation
movement insofar as they may affect
this state with a view to arousing pub
lie interest, It can do much good.
Nebraska fortunately, or unfortu-
nately, can look upon the conservation
movement from the broadcast stand
point and with as little selfish interest
as any state in the union. Nebraska
has no mineral deposits to be ex-
plotted nor mines to be exhausted, it
has few water power sites worth de-
veloping and no great Forests to pre-
serve. Nebraska's natural
consist almost entirely of its fertile
hOlp WIN HhlCu AOW Cah COhPaAS ahO
none excel. The state has a possibil-
ity for timber culture and borders on
one navigable stream. For Nebraska,
therefore, the conservation movement
means the fullest utilization of the
properties Of the soil for the cultiva-
ton Of food products, the raising Of
cattle, sheep, hogs and other farm ami
mails. ua
Being required to draw all our coal,
lumber, building stone, oil, iron,
copper and other metals from other
states, Nebraska is vitality concerned
that the natural from which
these supplies must come, should be
conserved, and not wasted, and should
be kept within our reach in exchange
for our own products on reasonable
terms.

Taking Care Of the IMMIGRANT.

A new feature in American civic
activity has recently developed in the
organization of leagues for the pro-
lection and guidance Of immigrants.
Meeting the foreigner as he passes the
officials at the ports Of entry and keep
ing him from falling into pauperism
and crime Is a matter Of no small i'm
p~ortance to the country as a whole
and to the alien himself. These
leagues have taken a strong hold on
the proposition of making Americans
out of our foreign immigrants and is
accomplishing much that is worthy of
recognition. One OF the present
problems in our social affairs is to
prevent a demoralizing exploitation of
our immigrants.
The problem Of our immigration
does not stop with the officials and
laws governing the ports of entry. I'm
less care is exercised, some of the I'M
wary, although keenly alive with
ability and spirit, become victims Of
sharpers. Criminality and p~auperism
are apt to result while others join the
ranks of the spoilers. 1t is stated by
the immigration bureau that hundreds
of immigrant girls drop out Of the
sight and knowledge OF the authorities
enroute to inland cities. The leagues
propose to know what becomes of
them and to protect them, giving them
a fair chance at an honorable liveli.
hood.

The decision OF the supreme court
of Pennsylvania, confirming the action
OF the lower court in finding certain
former state officials guilty Of con
spiracy to defraud the state in the
construction of the new state house,
has met with pronounced public ap-
prevail. The case Is historic and
aroused intense interest and excitement
through the country at the time. That
a few men could defraud a state Of
over 100000 and get away with
it" was beyond comprehension and
patience of all.
The general trend Of sentiment
throughout this country has been
steadily against dishonesty, whether in
public office or in private business.
This sentiment became stronger and
stronger until all individuals in pub
lie office are required to answer to the
public for honesty in the performance
Of duty as never before. The trial and
conviction of those charged with fraud
in connection with the building Of the
Pennsylvania State house was only
public sentiment taking on def
mite form and activity. Pennsyl-
vania happened to have the most
open, above board and high handed
bunch Of grafters and public senti-
ment was relentless in It's prosecution
of the culprits.
When the people of a community
unanimously condemn a breach Of pub
lie trust, It indicates a wholesome
public conscience and regard for the
principles Of square dealing. When
aroused, the American people have
ever been relentless in their denuncia-
tiop Of "w%ickedness in high places"
irrespective Of the political or party
livery worn by the culprits and they
will be glad to see the Pennsylvania
state house thieves get their just de-
serts.

may be assumed that the course will be

little or nothing and returns dividends

There is no way Of going after business
that will be completely successful unless It is
backed up by courteous methods Of hand

cured. A satisfied patron or a pleased
passenger is a good advertisement that
costs nothing but a little attention and
courtesy. Politsness on the part of en-

forced regardless of that fact. The people
