Navigable Streams.

A recent decision by the United States su-
preme court is expected to have a salutary in
fluenee on rivers and harbors appropriations by
supplying an authoritative definition Of what
constitutes a navigable stream. Money is taken
from the national treasury to deepen channels
and protect banks on the theory OF maintaining
highways of commerce, but the practice has
been fearfully abused under the pork barrel sys-
tenn by which appropriations have been success
fully log-rolled for draining bayous, providing
private landings, and supplying levees where no
commercial traffic was ever known or where
navigation OF all kinds is barred the larger part
of the year.
The court has now held that The test OF
naVgable stream is its actual navigability in its
natural state, and presumably on the average
Of the seasons, otherwise the beneficent liberal
ity of congress might be drawn on for canals,
reservoirs and waterways wholly artificial. The
Panama canal will be, for example, a highway
of commerce, but will not be a navigable stream
under the definition of the court, and Ne
braska's only navigable stream is the Missouri
river. If this decision serves to help those who
are right now fighting the river and harbor
graft in congress, its timeliness will make It
doubly useful

Joseph Chamberlain.

History will write the name of Joseph Cham
berlain hign among the strong men of modern
England. His public career dates from the
dashing of precedent and along to its end
brtstles with Innovations struggles and tri-
umphs. He met his defeats in fact went down
toward the close of his political career in signal
defeat but lie leaves a record chiefly charac-
terized by victory.
The precedent that Mr.. Chamberlain
smashed on entering public life was this, that
having made HIS fortune manufacturer he
decided he would like to engage in politics for
the rest of his life and, as we would say in
America, simply "broke in" 1t would be per-
fectly ordinary In the United States, but 1t was
an astoundingly bold. almost desperate thing to
do at that time in Great Britain. But the young
screwmaker soon had his following. He grew
to the full stature of statesmanship at time
when Gladstone Parnel and later Balfour were
at their zenith and around the name of Cham
herlain reyolNes some of the really big events in
the recent history OF his country Like most
strong, positive characters. he was ardently
loved or hated according to his friends OF foes
He evidently did not have many of the luke
warm kind.
Chamberlain stands as a worthy example, all
told. of the rich man in politics. 1t was in the
end good thing for Great Britain and the world
that he amassed his fortune early and was thus
enabled to enter public life freed from all selfish
object.

THE PHARISEE.

certain man, the scriptures say.
Went in the house OF God to pray:
And with pious confidence raised his
eyes,
And thus began his exercise:
20 Lord, thou knowest that l am
A child OF Father Abraham;
This simple fact without one groan
Should for my venial faults atone;
] have no sins to purge away,
But the multitude must hear me
pray"
I'm glad I'm not as other men,
Even as this vile publican
This tinlid wretch who beats his breast
And stands apart from all the rest
Who dare not lift his eyes to heaven,
And scarcely hopes to be forgiven;
While / with bold and fearless face,
Petition as one OF the chosen race"
IT am. o Lord, Pharisee,
A man of punctilious piety;
/ observe the ceremonial rites
And forms OF the early Israelites;
keep the ancient decalogue,
And cit up high in the synagogue,
pay my semi-annual tithes,
And offer a daily sacrifice;
battle and fast. chant sacred psalms,
And in the market place give aims,
never taste OF unclean meat,
With sinners, Lord. l ne"er eat"
And now before close this prayer,
I thank thee for thy constant care,
o powerful patron Of my race,
Smile upon mo with special grace;
And when reach that happy shore,
Let angels open wide the door,
To which they hold the sacred key.
Where none may enter hut Pharisee."

Our Weather an Asset.

Los Angeles newspapers play up big reported
rains and electrical storms back east" as they
call the middle west and eastern part Of the
United States. They go on to exaggerate reports
OF excessive heat" causing prostrations in
order TO give the impression that living on this
side OF the Rockies is little more than dreary,
Gnbearable existence.
To make their point, these Los Angeles
papers ignore the fact that It would be difficult
to give us weather more nearly ideal for our
section. both for comfort and crops than we
have been having. True, We have had an
abundance Of rain, OF wind and all the elements
nature finds essential TO our vegetation. Like
wise we have an assured abundance OF all sorts
OF crops, some SURPRISING all known records OF

Some Old-Time Westerners.

Here are two little incidents that serve
again to remind us Of the "old west" the ore
gon deputy sheriff who kills one and wounds
another OF three train robbers aboard flying
express and escapes himself unscathed, and the
case OF the Butte mayor, who Shoots from the
floor" of his office after being stabbed three
times and gets his man" The west is not
vaunting its pride over such things save as
they go to show the quality of grit and excel
lence Of Workmanship that formed so large
part of life on the real border in frontier times
II takes man to fight successful duel on
train with three desperadoes. and II takes a man
to Shoot from the floor" after being carved up
as Buttes sturdy mayor evidently was by his
murderous assailant. Reports OF both these
episodes read either like a drama or the run
ming narrative Of modern movie, but yet very
true TO the actual events Of other days in what
was land OF fortune and wilderness of ad-
venture.

tourist-baiters on the placid Pacific.
But people living in these more substantial
sections OF the country should remember
that even If weather we're the moving con-
sderation, California has its own troubles In
the weather line. There is this difference in the
kind of weather in Nebraska are having so

perature goes-and the sort that swept southern
California winter before last-our's is making
bumper crops and helping to steady business,
