Some Interesting Phases
and Conditions Observed
II the Nations capital

Death of a Noted Nurse.
Countess Susan Gusman, for forty years
a nurse of national prominence, died as the
result Of a surgical operation last week.
She was Il years OF age.
There is a strange element of abnega-
tion in the story of Countess Gusman's
lie, as told by her friends. Without need
of money, with title and social claims.
she voluntarily gave up the life she had
lived for years soon after the civil war
and took up the study of nursing. She
was among the first TO benefit by the
grewsome teachings of the civil war, and,
as she progressed, she became an acknowl-
edged leader to whom the physicians did
not hesitate to appeal for advice.
The Countess Gusman was a native OF
the Bermuda islands, When young she
was a belle Of great beauty. and her
marriage TO Count Senchey Gusman was an
affair that still remains among the social
triumphs of the little island. Before her
marriage she vas Miss Susan Ketchum.
Soon after her marriage she and her
husband came to this country, first living
in New York and afterward coming to
Washington. Their social progress was I'M
barred by any circle. They were known in
the ranks that are the 400 sets Of today.
In 1871 Count Gusman died. leaving his wife
and one young son. Then IL was that the
countess gave up all OF heF former ambi-
tions, surrendered the place she had won
in society and began a study of nursing.
She took a small suite of rooms and de-
voted her life to the task she had chosen.
Gradually she came TO be known among
the physicians Of Washington as one OF the
really great nurses OF the country.
Among those whom she treated was the
family of Henry d. Cook when he was
governor OF the district. Governor A. r.
Shepherd, also of the district; Bancroft,
the historian; Ulysses S. Grant and Mrs.
Theodore Roosevelt.
She visited the hospitals of Washington
constantly, and there, among the free
patients" the charity cases, she gave OF
her knowledge as freely as she did with
Bancroft and Grant. At the Emergency.
the Garfield and at Providence she cared
for many patients whose only repayment
was their gratitude.

immigration and rlliteracY.

II is given out that congress is con-
sidering a bill to impose heavy fines
upon steamship companies that bring
to the United States any illiterate
alien or any alien not eligible to
naturalization" II the purpose of the
measure is to enforce the immigra-
ton laws and break up completely the
system praetieed by some steamship
companies of drumming up immi-
grants regardless Of whether qualified
for admission, to that extent 1t is laud-
able and should be favorably received.
1t is vicious to induce the poor alien
to spend his meager savings for trans
portation TO a land, as he is led to
believe, flowing with milk and
honey" only to be told upon arrival
that he cannot land The effect on
him is permanently bad. He does not
fully understand and probably never
can in his own mind absolve the
United States government from the
blame, He is apt to lose hope and
ambition, as we'll as the accumulations
of a lifetime.
If, however, the measure simply
seeks to add to the present require
ments of the immigrant that Of liter
acy, then it is of extremely doubtful
wisdom. We have never laid down an
educational test and we have admitted
many thousands of illiterate aliens
who have become excellent citizens.
If they are able and willing to work
at honest toll, are not morally, mem
tally or bodily defective, and not
paupers, they ought to be received,
whether they can read or write or not.
Illiteracy is not transmissible and is
quickly shaken off by the second gen.
GRAFTON. Why should we put up the
bars to these people and say, You
may not enter until you learn to read
and write?~ Would it not be better
to say to them, You may come IL
you are decent and sound and indus.
trious, and we will help you to be
useful citizens"

Modern industry and Eduoatiol


For some years the tendency of
young men seeking higher education
has been toward law and medicine,
Schools OF these professions have in
creased in number and the fields of
occupation have become more over
crowded. Certain new tendencies in in
dustry and the science of treating hui
man ills are at work which suggest the
possibility of change in the drift OF
the educational current. Public and
private enterprise are enlisted in a
movement to work out new cures for
old diseases and improve sanitation
throughout the country. Vast progress
has been. and more will be, made.
Along with this, though distinctly
apart from 1t, goes the effort of the
government and private capital to har-
ness nature for the needs of industry;
to open up irrigation and water power
plants for agricultural and Industrial
purposes.
The New York Times invites to the
new fields of scientific service the at
tention of young men contemplating
finished educations. They are, un-
doubtedly, prolific of opportunities.
What will the effect be in these two
channels? Will the current be diverted
from law and medicine to that of tech
nical or sanitary engineering? We
shall continue to need both lawyers
and physicians In spite of all our
goodness and our healthfulness, but,
perhaps, 1t would be we'll for both pro-
fessions and many young men II some
thing should intervene to turn some
Of them out OF the way of becoming
lawyers or doctors.

The prettiest thing of fllmsy nets;

The neck quite low--the sleeves quite high

A leash OF silken stocking.

Her mien and costume scanning,

And merely ary-Annius.
You wouldn't dream her purpose grand
Is decentralization.
Or guess her life is neatly planned
To franchise conservation.

For votes for ladies pleading.
On every coat she pins a rose
With purring voice misleading.
She let's a convert hold her hand
So sweet, and soft, and human.

Bipartisanshin a Pretense.

Two years ago the democrats raised
the slogan OF "nonpartisanship" in
the judicial campaign and pleaded for
the election of democratic candidates
on the ground that they would be nom
Rertisans. The fake was so trans
parent that the people took no stock
in it, and as a consequence the plea
this year, as voiced by the mouthpiece
OF democracy, is for bipartisanship
through a division of the places on the
supreme bench, railway commission
and Board OF University Regents be-
tween the political parties.
The democrats are no more sincere
in this than they were in their pre-
tense Of nonpartisanship two years
ago. 1t is not bipartisanship they
want anywhere, but merely the cleo
ton Of the democratic candidates and
the defeat of republican candidates.
Should they by accident succeed they
would on the next turn try to capture
the remaining places in these bodies
and make the supreme court, the rail-
way commission and the board of re-
gents wholly partisan democratic,
That, at least, is what the democrats
have attempted heretofore. When
they had two of the three members of
the supreme court in 1901 they forgot
all about nonpartisanship and biparti-
sanship ana tried their best to capture
the third. The same applies to the
Board of University Regents-when
the democrats had four Of the six
members they omitted no effort to get
the other two. There are judicial
districts in Nebraska with two judges
on the bench, both of them democrats,
but In these the democrats manifest
no disposition to divide up with the
republicans in, order to promote the
principle of nonpartisanship or BIZ
partisanship.
With our democratic friends It is
any way to get democrat into office.

Uncle Sam is able to design magnificent
buildings and erect them. He also is able
to improve old buildings that have gone
out of date with years. but he does not
know one single thing about women's hats.

that would not do. However, styles may
change, and big hats may go out of fash
ion, most of the young women hope. In
the meantime millinery rose gardens from
eighteen inches upward in diameter are re-

Commission Plan of Settling Strikes,
The commission plan of settling a
street car strike which has been
evolved in Des Moines is likely to at
tract even more attention to that city
than has the commission plan Of gov
eminent. What threatened to be an
ugly, prolonged and costly fight be-
tween the street car company and it's
employees has been averted by bold
stroke on the part of the city govern
ment applying to the court for man
datory writ compelling the company to
take back all the employees, and the
employees to resume work, 80 that the
operation Of the street railway system
should be no longer interrupted and
the differences in controversy settled
afterward by arbitration.
This savors of extremely radical
government interference, but it was
an acute case confronting the Des
Moines authorities, which called for
radical treatment. Here In Omaha,
with keen recollection of the troubles
brought on us by our street car strike
OF two years ago, we doubtless appre-
ciate what Des Moines has escaped
even better than the Des Moines peo-
pie themselves. If Des Moines has
struck an effective way of preventing
paralysis of street car traffic every
time the employees think they have g
serious grievance it will have made a
notable contribution to the peace
movement that aims at termination of
this sort Of industrial warfare.

Vice President Turned Down.

Vice President Turned Down.
Vice President Sherman's request on the
county clerk of Fairfax county, Virginia,
to permit him to view the will OF George
Washington, now incased in the county
court house, was refused because, as the
clerk explained, there IL a rule which
prohibits the opening of the building on
Sunday" The desire of Mr.. Sherman to
take one peep at the famous document
consequently was not satisfied.
With a party OF motorists, Vice President
Sherman took spin through Virginia.
Returning by Fairfax court house in the
afternoon, some one in the party remem-
bered that several historical papers are on
file in the old building. Among them. II
was remembered, is the original will PEN
ned by the first president in Its restored
form.
Mr.. sherman expressed a desire to view
the historic document. The motorists In
quired the address of the clerk and his
deputies. They were told that while one
Of the deputies lived in Fairfax, the CLERK
resided half a mile from the township, The
party went to the home of the deputy,
brought that official to the front door,
introduced its members, and made it's re-
quest
Can't open the doors OF the court house
on Sundays" he said. Doors are all
locked, and it's against the rules to open
them" He remained adamant. Undis-
mayed, the vice president. determined to
crafty the wishes OF his guests, directed
the chauffeur to drive to the home of the
clerk. A similar reception was accorded
the party at the latter place.
The document in question was discovered
a few years ago in heap of rubbish. After
It was unearthed, the torn sections were
carefully preserved, A short time ago gov
eminent experts stored the document 1t
was returned to the court house. and can
be viewed any week day.
