Caution and Courage.

When forest fires were devastating
towns in Wisconsin the other day q
brave man seized a locomotive, at
tached to which was a train of cars,
and by making successive trips back
and forth saved the entire population
of one small village from what threat
ened certain death. On the same day
an explosion at Fortress Monroe killed
eleven soldiers and manned and man
gled others, and these wounded men
declined medical treatment until they
could help complete the work of res
cue, though enduring untold agony
Fine courage, we call this; genuine
heroisml Nobody can help but ad-
mire willing self-sacrifice. But both
these calamities were due to neglect
on the part of somebody. The gun in
the battery would not have exploded
had some one of these heroes taken the
precaution to examine 1t and to find
that it was not in condition for use,
and it may yet develop that the forest
fires would not have started had some
one not gone away leaving a blaze In
the woods about which he may have
been cooking or camping One of the
worst forest fires recently of the far
northwest was caused just this way.
The point is, people are seldom as
cautious as they are courageous, in
the small as we'll as in the large things
of life, II they were there would be
less call for this daring heroism. Even
the rack Of pain and suffering often
seems to be alleviated by the warm
glow of adulatiOn that comes to the
hero. so. while II is none the less com
mendable, the fine display of courage
is not the most unnatural or the hard
est task to meet. 1t 10 a mean spirit,
indeed, that would falter at the chance
of saving human life. But II Is far
better TO be cautious at the right time

Is it a Part; Issue I

Although the convention of Ne
braska republicans Incorporated into
their platform a resolution fsvoring
county option and the convention of
Nebraska democrats held simultane-
ously refused to make a similar dec
laration, that does not necessarily
make the question a party issue. The
best proof that county option is not
to be a party issue in the impending
campaign, and will not be so regarded
even by those who favor II, is the
attitude of the Anti-Saloon league
which officially proclaims:
The Anti-Saloon league of Nebraska
desires TO have IL clearly understood that
in any event II will not support the can
didates Of any political party merely be-
cause that party has placed county OPP
ton plank in its platform. Our support
will only be given to candidates who
pledge themselves to support county OPP
ton irrespective of what their party plat
form may declare.
SO far as the anti-saloonists are
concerned, therefore, the declarations
of the platform conventions are not
to be taken as conclusive. On the
contrary. they announce further that
where the candidates of neither polit-
ical party come up to their require
ments they will try to get petition can
didates committed to county option to
whom they con cpnscientiously give
their support to run against the reg
ular party nominees.
Neither does the fact that the re-
publicans in convention voted for a
platform declaration for county option
and the democrats voted against it
prove that county option finds more
of it's advocates in one party than in
another 1t is stated on best author
ity that the delegates in control in
the democratic convention were OPP
posed--not to county option, but to
making a platform declaration of it,
and that a vote on the question
showing personal preference would
have completely reversed the majority.
It is evident that Mr.. Bryan does
not regard county option as party is
sue in the forthcoming Nebraska cam
paign, for, in spite of his declaration
that a platform is binding as to what
it omitB, he has announced that the
omission will not prevent him from
continuing to advocate county option
and to support only county option can
didates, The populists, moreover, in
their platform declarations say that
they, having no candidates OF their OWL

change comes about soon, loss Of
trade, very naturally.
When our government agents
abroad take the pains to go into these
matters and report upon them so care
fully merchants and manufacturers at
home ought to heed the advice. The
demand for closer attention on their
part must be urgent or these Amer
leans on the field would not make their
appeals so insistently. We have be-
fore called attention to the fact that
the State department has called home
its consuls abroad to go among the do
nestle tradesmen and impress on them
the situation in foreign lands. This
ought to bring the desired results.
While our balance of trade has been
turned the right way, with exports out
weighing imports just now, it is never.
theless a fact that our exports could
easily be increased far above anything
we have attained by more dilligent in
quiry and solicitation abroad. We COM
plain when this balance goes against
exports at the vast amount of imports
but that does not go to the central
point of the question: keeping down
imports is not nearly so important as
expanding exports and, for that mat.
ter, so long as official reports DISCLOSE
the fact that our imports are kept VI
largely by the purchase of luxuries-
diamonds, art, champagne and other
such things that we really could get
along without, there is no occasion r.

that score alone.

American Trade Abroad.

The United States commercial agent
at Buenos Ayres throws an interesting
sidelight upon the matter of American
trade in foreign lands in a report on
the sale of windmills in the Argentine.
Some 10000 or $1,000 of these pump
ing devices go into that country every
year and the United States supplies
practically all of them. AS the coun-
try is a prairie amply famed by wind
the windmill trade, he says, will in
crease rather than decrease, and it fol-
lows the sheep and cattle-raising In
dustry there. just as It has done in the
western part of the United States SO
the possibilities Of the business are
immense.
But the point this agent makes is
one We have urged before, namely
that in order to hold foreign trade and

Spain and the Vatican.

The questions at Issue between
Spain and the Vatican involve time
honored traditions, civil and ecclesias-
tical constitutions of the most tech
nical character, so that the situation
is far too complex for long-distance
discussion, and yet enough is apparent
to indicate that only a very wise and
very conservative force can now pre-
vent a further breach.
1t may be that under the heat of ex-
element some of the popular anti
clerical demonstrations are not safe
criteria, but the public utterances of
Premier Canalejas and his determine
ton not to withdraw or modify his
Rnti-clerical program have an ominous
bearing. Some bitter feeling has been
engendered and this, added to the COM
plexity of the details involved in the
controversy, make 1t very difficult for
the outside world either to gauge or
understand, but these things do not
prevent one from observing that 1t will
require great moderation on both sides
to avoid complete severance of rela-
lions that have for so long existed. If
the Vatican Is to retain its measure of
control over the social and political
affairs of Spain, then it must first
bring about much different state of
affairs than now exists.
The cause of Canalejas seems to be
menaced by this one fact--that it has
rallied together many varying classes
Of anti-clericals and the premier has
not yet proved that he can reconcile
all these different factions or unite
them on anything like a common basis.
Until he can accomplish this, of course,
the power of the Vatican will not be
in the gravest danger to which it might
be subjected. But if the premier can
assimilate his forces, then, unless a
more conservative element asserts
itself, possibly through the influence
of the crown, 1t will be difficult to see
how separation is to be avoided.

Ethics for Lawyers.

The current Outlook gives a list of
states whose bar associations have rat
fled and adopted the canons of ethics
for the legal profession which were
formulated and accepted at the Amer
lean Bar association two years ago.
The list includes the bar associations
of the seventeen following states: New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jer-
sey, Maine, Iowa, Florida, Tennessee,
South Dakota, Kansas. Indiana, North
Dakota, Ohio, Washington, Nebraska,
Louisiana and Vermont. The outlook
goes on to explain that this has not
been accomplished without opposition
and discussion,
But il we understand the facts Alright
the opposition has been not to the principles
embodied in these canons, but to the adop-
ton by the state OF the canons formulated
by national association. A certain char
acteristic of American pride or iudepend-
ence, prevailing curiously where state
rights are not supposed TO be popular,
serves to prevent one state from accepting
the ethical principles as formulated by
any organization outside of that state.
If this Is the correct explanation 1t
certainly reflects peculiar state of
mind among lawyers who make up the
various associations which have baked
on endorsing the proposed professional
code. This code sets up rules of con-
duct for legal practitioners prescribing
a high standard of professional honor
and integrity. But it evidently omitE
one vital principle in failing to de-
nounce it as unprofessionsl for one set
of lawyers to accept the ethics formu-
lated by another set. If this logic is
good for lawyers, of course it is like
wise good for all other professions
supposed to be guided by ethical codes.
The doctors of one state should refuse
to be bound by any rules of medical
practice presented by doctors of other
states. The lawyers are commonly
supposed to acquire by virtue OF their
profession breadth of vision and gen.
eral catholicity beyond the man en-
gagged in ordinary avocations, but on
the showing they will have to rebut
this evidence to the contrary.

The thriving little city of Aurora,
ILL.,, has stamped its foot in the face of
fashion, hurled form to the winds, de-
fed the slow processes of education
and taken a short cut to an ideal
method of compulsory sanitation,
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other town, city or bailiwick.
Its board of health has adopted a set
of rules with which each person must
comply every day and it's mayor and
chief of police have affixed their sigma
lures to the list as indicating that the
city does not propose to rely wholly on
moral suaBion. The first man, woman
or child caught in the act of violating
any one or all of these precepts will be
dealt with as the law made and pro-
vided in such cases provides.
And the first commandment in this
decalogue-fOr there are just tents
this:
EVERY person must take a bath
once a week"
Consideration of such other injunc-
tions as no splitting, killing flies, clean
towels and wash rags, clean rooms,
open windows and only two in a room,
may be waived for the moment that
we might dwell with respectful DELHI
GRAFTON upon this, the first and great
est commandment-the weekly bath.
To begin with, the perplexity must
strike most people alike-how enforce
that law? There are possibly some
$4,000 persons in Aurora, Is each in
dividual, or each household, to be
watched over by some mental minion
of the law to see that he or she takes
his and her bath? The city might
have little dificulty in securing enough
willing inspectors, but would that
scheme work out satisfactorily? Yet
the chief of police says he can and will
enforce the law. And Aurora desires
that it be understood this rule is not
designed In the interest of the Bath
Tub trust.
