II is only fair to ourselves that,

litical oratOry today has a market
value Just like any other article of

associations that pay 80 much per lee

choose to call one OF these diatribes
and. as the men making them usually
need the money they are entitled to a
certain degree OF sympathy.
But these facts should not relieve
us of our responsibility. The honest

duty OF separating facts from fiction
and cannot AFFORD to be misled by the
aggrioved politician or paid ONCE

Pan-American Congress

The fourth Pan-American congress
Is now in session at Buenos Ayres and
1t ought to be the most notable of all
these great councils of nations, for it
comes so soon after the dedication of
the International Bureau of American
Republics at Washington, which
stands as a temple Of peace and prog
ress, the product OF this Pan-American
spirit, and beside that this congress
has mapped out program OF the most
vital interest and Importance TO every
country represented.
That program includes nothing that
is purely theoretical and ephen3sI3l,
but much that is of the most imtsbai.
ate benefit and utility in this general
plan OF effecting peaceful relations
and prosperous conditions between all
the countries Of the western hemi-
sphere. It is large work these re-
publics undertake, a work of world
wide moment; no idle sentiment brings
them together. Their delegates are
meeting in the interest of political
peace and commercial progress, in
both OF which lines immense advance
has been made since the first Pan
American congress assembled. The
best minds and the biggest men Of
every North, Central and South Amer
lean republic are directly or indirectly
concerned in the deliberations and
from such a congress beneficent re-
suits will flow as a natural eonse-
quence.
But these congresses mean much to
the eastern hemisphere as we'll. II
they can accomplish a substantial
agreement for international peace on
this side OF the world they will have
done a great deal toward insuring
universal peace, and then they still
have left the commercial side of their
task, which will move forward as the
political advances. The task is a big
one, TO be sure; that is why It has
been undertaken by big men in a big
way, but It is not too big. nor is there
any need for disbursement In the
fact that some Of the bellicose neigh
bors to the south have as yet not en-
\ tirely buried the Ratchet.
In all this good work the press is
accorded credit for much helpful In
huence. The Bulletin OF the Interna-
tional Bureau OF the American Repub-
lies frankly admits that but for the
systematic education conducted by the
American press what the congresses
have thus far done would amount to
! little. Their efforts have been toned

Some Automobile Figures.

Up to July /. 1910, the total num-
Der OF automobile registrations in Ne
braska was 12,OsO, the number regis
tered during the first six months of
this year being 3,492. or more than
the number registered during the
twelve months Of the preceding year.
II each OF the numbers registered by
the secretary Of state is taken to rep
resent an automobile in active service,
IL ,OSO automobiles in Nebraska would
mean, in round numbers, one to every
100 of the population.
Counting five persons to q family,
IL, OsO automobiles in Nebraska would
mean one to every twenty families.
These comparisons, however, are
probably somewhat overdrawn be-
cause Of the fact that registration
numbers may be outstanding that no
longer attach to machines in actual
use. and to the further fact that g
large number OF registered automo-
biles are employed for commercial pur-
poses, such as delivery wagons, express
trucks, conveyances for hire, etc.
But making due allowance for ali
possible discrepancies, the exhibit is
none the less remarkable and interest
ing, although doubtless in this respect
Nebraska is not much different from
other prosperous western states.

Taft Sets Mark Ahead.

1t is now rather generally conceded
that congress had a busy and fruitful
session and that this was largely due
to the persistent leadership OF Presi-
dent Taft. The reason why congress
accomplished so much at the long ses-
sion was that its work was planned In
advance; that 1t was laid out upon
definite lines and that each day
marked one step further progress to-
ward the ultimate performance of
what had been promised.
II that is the Taft way of doing
business, it has proved TO be a good
way. Even Mr. Taft's most severe
critics are willing to admit that he Sc
cured more substantial results than
they thought he possibly could do in
so short time. The president is said
to be already planning for the short
session of congress and for the length
Of the session will seek to make it as
fruitful of results as was the long
term. The chief task which the presi-

undue hardship on no one.
Undoubtedly there is much need for
this work and it is a work not the
most pleasant to undertake, but that
fact is not lettering the president
from performing what he may be con-
WINGED is his duty. Owing to patron
age and other considerations congress
will probably require lot OF proddihg
for the proper execution of these plans
and that fact no doubt has spurred
the president to the early preparation
of his campaign.

Profanity and Broken Jaws.

Two Pittsburgers appeared in court
the other day, one with a broken jaw.
He had been addressing the other in
very vile terms and was answered with
sharp uppercut. The judge, after
hearing the testimony, turned to the
man whose face looked as If steam
roller had struck It and told him that
he deserved to get his jaw broken for
using the kind OF language he did and
that the only wonder was he did not
get it broken sooner, II he was accus-
toned to address men in those terms
on the streets ~ $3.50 z
Some very good men have been
known to say bad things under GER
tain exasperating circumstances, but
profanity as too commonly INDUCED
in in public, on the streets, or else
where where it may fall upon molten
sive ears certainly deserves severe
punishment, and this Judge has done
public favor to put his official ban
upon this disgusting practice. Pro-

One Of the. most vicious habits Of
profanity is its use on the streets

have felt like breaking the jaws OF
curbstone hoodlums who have no more
regard for respectable people than to
use their vile language wherever they
may happen to be.

kind of public nuisance is abated, and

UNDULY EXCITED MILLERs.
BIeaehed Flour Verdict MaEnifieA
Too Much.

hAhbhs lily Guar.
A few Kansas and Nebraska miIlers
appear to be unduly excited over the de-
cision OF a Jury In the United States court
that bleaching flour Ia a form OF adultera-
ton, and, therefore q violation OF the law.
One Of them is quoted az saying that the
decision Will impair the value Of hard
winter wheat cents a bushel A sufficient
proof that there is no basis for such a
statement is the fact that some miIlers
who have not been bleaching their flour
have been able to sell it readily In compe-
tition with blsached flour. Moreover, the
Kansas and Nebraska millers (inoludbng
those Of Kansas City, had no trouble to
sell their flour before the bleaching process
was invented. Indeed, some 1nillers have
always looked upon flour bleaching as an
Objectionable fad, and have either declined
to use the process or have discarded It
after giving 1t a test. These men do not
believe the abolition of bleaching viii have
any permanent effect toward impairing
the value OF good hard winter wheat
There is a wide difference Of opinion
among men equally competent to Judge, as
to whether the bleaching process does or
does not give flour an element that Is
deleterious to health, and that question was
not decided in the case which has just been
tried. But there is no doubt that the
bleaching process makes it possible for
flour to be sold under false pretense, since
it enables millers to use an inferior quality
of wheat to produce flour that looks as II
It were made of wheat OF high quality, and
for this reason 1t is Objectionable.
The wise thing for the millers of the
southwest and of the entire country to
do. rs to abide by the decision OF the court
and advertise the superior quality OF their
product, regardless of the fact that It is
not chalk white" The consumer would
rather buy flour concerning which there is
any doubt as to its healthfulness.
