UpIift of the FiIiuino.

The graduation of a number of Filipino
students from collegiate institution in
this country is a timely reminder of one of
the most interesting and promising features
OF the complex work which the United
States is prosecuting in behalf of its Asiatic
dependents. In this work, 1t might, perhaps,
be argued, We are following an Asiatic ex-
ample, since Japan years ago and more
recently sent many selected young men
here to study in our colleges and univer-
stiles at the public expense of those coun-
tries. There is, however, an obvious and
significant contrast between the two cases,
to wit, that between enlightened self interest
as the primary motive and a generous al
truism with self-interest as only second
airy and indirect consideration.

Same Old BuncO Game

When the democratic state commit
tee met last week to arrange for the
democratic state convention two So
called officers of a pretended populist
state committee put their heads to-
gether and issued call for a populist
state convention to meet at the same
time and place as the democrats. The
purpose OF this motion-picture farce
is, of course, to lay the foundation for
another chapter of the bunco game
which has been played on Nebraska
voters for SO many successive years by
which democratic offce-seekers get on
the official ballot twice. once as demo,
Gratis and again as populists.
OF course. there would be no object
In carrying out this masquerade I'm

once powerful pOpplist party in this

voting for democrats only when thus
misbranded and sailing under false
coiors. We have heard great deal

Accustomed as we have become to the
versatility OF the ex-president. his oxford
lecture will greatly increase the universal
establishment that he could have read so
widely and remembered so much. Biology,
ethnology, anthropology, geology, he rattles
off with startling fluency. The history Of
animal life and the record of human
progress. war, literature, art and philoso-
ply, are all at his tongues end.
With an omnivorous taste in reading and
a tenacious memory one can understand
how he crammed up on all these topics,
but when did he get time to put the. vast
range of his reading and his impressions
on paper7 His speeches in Cairo and at
the Guild hall must have been recently
prepared, but his three university lectures,
at the Sorbonne, Berlin and oxford, were
probably composed before he went to
Africa. Yet his strenuous administration, of
the presidency could have left him little
leisure before retiring from office, and
from Washington he went to New York
to plunge into work for The Outlook and
collect his "pigskin library" and make
other preparations for his years pursuit OF
big game. His mental processes are aston
ishingly rapid, and his gift of expression
we have already learned to marvel at.

FATHER GETS READY.
w. D. Nesbit in Chicago Post.

w. d. Nesbit in Chicago Post.
We're all getting ready for summer, for
travel by mountain and sea,
For golfing and riding and tennis and
whatever Joys there may be;
Poor mother Is at the dressmaker's for
fittings each morning at 10,
And back after luncheon she hurries to
fret over patterns again
But isn't 1t easy for father? His last
summers suits have been pressed,
And really dear father looks handsome
when he is fixed up in his best.
The girls are quite flustered and weary
from shopping and purchasing goods;
They've got to have dresses for dinner and
costumes for tramps in the woods
And shirtwaists and jackets and sweaters
and wells fol-. the automobile, 80,
And suits for the yachts where They'll
giggle while taking their turns at the
wheel. ......
But, father-oh. father can't worry; the
rest of us may cut a splurge,
But mother has sent to the cleaner his
last summers flannel and serge
It's quite a big problem, this clothing for
mother and both OF the girls
And, whisperl They've had lots Of bother
in matching their switches and curls;
For hair Is the fashion this summer, and
But mother and Florence and GLADYS have
found that the best only pays;
OF course. as to father It's simple: He's
And so he IL ready to travel wherever the
folks want to go.
Poor fatherl Sometimes he is crusty. and
scolds quite lot at the rest,
Especially when some new bonnets FOR
walking or sails we suggest.
But mother has sent fathers straw mats
for bleaching anew for this year
And says that should make him feel happy
and start him away full Of cheer,
While father says we'll be discovered by
scent long before we are seen
For he will exude an aroma distilled Of
moth balls and benzine.

Intellectual Honesty.

Judge Grosscup of Chicago says the
United States has not yet proved that
a government Of, for and by the people
can endure and expresses some doubt
OF results at the final test. The prob
lem that distresses him is economic,
involving the proper balance of the
laws of supply and demand and, be-
cause our consumption is now out
running production, he fears we may
not be able to meet the ultimate pen
atty Of this indulgence.
His premise, Of course, is not new;
James j. Hill and others have been
DINING that in our ears for a long
time and we have long ago begun to
heed the warning. Judge Grosscup
asks what power will enable us to
solve the complex problems of the flu
ture as we have the simple moral ques-
lions Of the past and answers it by
saying, "The spirit OF intellectual hon
esty." The trend of his whole argu-
ment, which, by the way, loses some
of its harshness because it is made to
graduating class, sets up the propo-
sition that we are drifting away rather
than toward this ideal.
Without question there has been,
and is still, imperative necessity in
this country for intellectual honesty,
but we believe sober analysis of the
drift of private and public life today
will show strong and constant ten
dency in that direction. To begin
with, we as a people have learned
something of our national faults as
well as of its virtues; we have learned
that we we're an extraagant people, in
speech and action That prodigal
wealth and unprecedented prosperity
have made us careless of the future
and reckless of our resources, but we
have awakened to the danger of over
Indulgence and set about to remedy
the evil. We are conserving more
and more what we used TO waste
soil, water, timber, minerals and like
wise moral character. In the awak-
ening has come new vision of moral
obligations as imposed in positions of
public trust and also in the ranks of
private citizenship and individual and
corporate business.
The spirit of intellectual honesty is
already dominant spirit in business,
politics, the professions. The general
disposition is to put the premium on
the real man and the ban on the coun.
terfeit AS a rule we are broader and
fairer and we hear before we decide.
Never was there time when the peo-
pie through their public servants were
probing as deeply and diligently for
the truth as today, the truth in eco.
nomic as well as moral realms, for
they believe as Judge Grosscup said
that the two are correlative. And the
result will be that, while we have seen
the need for greater range of eco
nomic development, we will apply tc
that expansion the power of intellec
tual honesty, and the most of us will
not agree with the learned jurist that
there is any serious danger of ouI
meeting the ultimate test of popula,

SWEET TOOTH IN POLITICS.
Candy Rivals Cigars I'm Colorado
Campaign Bills.
St Louis Times.


st. Louis Times.
The most disconcerting story Of many
days comes from Colorado, where the fe-
male suffrage is"
A number of successful candidates in the
recent election in Denver have been turn
ing In expense accounts to the committee
which passes on such matters, and in each
case the most serious item is candy"
This Item might be supposed to be a
species OF joke, upon first thought. But
when 1t is remembered who the constit-
uents OF the office seekers were, the real
seriousness Of the matter begins to appear.
Election expenses have been heavy
enough in the past, in all conscience. 1t
has been the proud boast of many a sue
cessful candidate that he got by" with the
expenditure Of a few hundred, or thou
sands, according to the dignity of the
office he sought But in a majority of
cases the figures have been so excessive
that there has been much effort to conceal
them.
These formidable totals have come about,
too, through the constant dripping of little
streams. A cigar here and glass Of soda
there-the result has been depressing, when
the campaign extended over many weeks or
even months. .....
But suppose we are compelled to substi-
tute for the cigars and drinks such things
as boxes of gloves and candy, bolts OF old
lace, aigrettes, sealslIin sacques and
bouquets of American Beauty roses2
The thought is enough to stagger any
millionaire, and yet il has to be faced.
1t is really disconcerting reflection that
you cannot buy anything for a woman that
is worth even thank YOU for less than
the price of a whole box OF cigars; and a
little meditation on the subject of cam
paign expenses will cause the more eau
tious among men to go very slow in the
direction of votes for women!

slam at Minor Federal Courts.

EHudueipnla RECORD.
One OF the last amendments of the
Taft-Wickersham railroad bill is that OF
Senator Overman OF North Carolina,
which is designed to effectually lock the
door against the abuse in the meddling
Of certain federal judges with the laws
of the states. This is not intended ex-
clusively for railroad corporations, nor is
it inspired by them. but it aplies to all
cases in which the validity of state laws
is challenged in federal court. Under
this new provision proceeding by In
junction to test a state law can be be-
gun only when granted by a justice OF
the supreme court or circuit court judge
When thus initiated the case can then be
heard and determined only by three judges
of the United States courts. one Of whom
must be supreme judge or a circuit
court judge.

In the statements put forth by Presi-

that the railroads as a whole are

matter which probably will have TO be set
tied by the new commerce court II the
railroad bill becomes a law, in the mean
time, as showing the prosperity to which
the railroads Of the United States have
risen under the old rates, the following
statistics are of great interest:

nearly "a per cent.
In 1898 the capital stock was $5.5s1 $50, 5eS;
in 1908 it was 1854. s13ose, an increase of
more than SO per cent.
Between 1898 and 1908 the net earnings
rose from sSSs.666.474 to S717,sO2,167 or an
increase of 81 per cent.
In 1898 the dividends paid amounted to

of more than 1S1 per cent.

Wall Street Journal.
June's wheat harvest In Europe this year
will probably not be less than $50, 600 900
bushels. This includes Turkey, Greece,
Spain, Portugal and southern France, and
possibly a part of Russia In the western
world our gulf states, with practically all
Of the country south OF the ohia and Mis-
souri, rivers, produce $50, 200 bushels,
making with Europe's contribution as much
as SOOOO0,00O bushels, or about one-third OF
the worlds crop.
Seldom has there been a season In which
Europe's wheat crop outlook had SO many
features of average strength. There, as
here, some lateness has been reported.
France. one OF Europe's chief producers,
which supplies nearly all Of her domestic
needs out Of the home crop, had early mis-
fortunes to discount her prospects There
has been decided recovery there, and few
crop misfortunes anywhere else OF account
Europe, this year, from the Ural mountains
to the Atlantic will be more independent
than In any year within a decade in the
matter of wheat supply.
In the United States the only districts
of first rank as producers of wheat TO har-
vest in June, are Kansas and Nebraska
Most Of the country south of the 37th
parallel OF latitude Is a June wheat country

more conservative this year than usual

Streets and Bouleyards.

There is no question but that the
place where Omaha has greatest room
for improvements is to be found in its
streets and boulevards. The paved
area of the city will measure up we'll
with that OF other cities of our size,
but for some reason or other we seem
to have been so far unable to keep
them in passable condition of repair
and cleanliness.
The blame for these deficiencies is
perhaps not to be placed in any one
quarter alone. Omaha tolerates street
nuisances of all kinds that no other
city would put up with. We permit
our building contractors TO ruin the
pavements by storing materials in the
shops. Our pavements are being con-
stantly cut into for service pipe con-
nections without proper replacement.
Paving contractors are allowed to tear
up a thoroughfare for blocks and to
take their own time to reopen it to
traffic.
If we are to have our streets and
boulevards maintained as they should
be in Omaha we must not only have
them kept in repair and cleaned peri
odically, but we must stop these un-
necessary abuses and prevent their re.
currence.
