"The Kingdom is Within YOU"
Enough of dreams! No longer mock
The burdened hearts of men!
Not on the cloud, but on the rock,
Build thou thy faith again.
Oh range no more the realms of air,
Stop to the glen-bound streams,
Thy hope was all too like despair:
Enough, enough of dreams.
IN earth-born creed? We may not
praise
The Eternals lowly house;
Yet through the rude beams may we
gaze.
And the interviewer boughs
Ii on the little Child thou shine,
Whom, though We dream no more,
Here, in the hearts hushed Pales-
tine,
The magi still adore.
A lowly creed, waysde inn
For wayfarers! Oh, come,
Now that the long dark hours begin,
Lead thou the Nations home,
Shine on the little roof, fair star,
The thatch in silver steep,
That kings may come to it from afar,
And the shepherds from their
sheep.

Court OF Public Opinion.

Since MS return from Europe
Morse has been making preparations
to reopen in the court of public
opinion. at least, the case against
him. 1t is understood that Morse
claims the main charge on which
he was convicted, the making of
false entries in the books of the
National Bank of North America,
was a flimsy charge, and that he
did nothing more than was done by
scores of bankers in New York.
Testimony showed Morse made dunn
my loans and was a purchaser OF
the stock of the American Ice Sc
curities Company and Cf the stock
of the bank of which he was vice
president He now is understood to
charge that the office of the comp
troller of the currency here refused
at his trial to allow the jury to see
the report of the national bank eX-
aminer who investigated the Bank
of North America, and indicated that
this report clearly would have es-
tablished the fact that he had done
nothing unlawful. He is SAID 10
contend this refusal was based on
the fact that other New York bank
ers were making the same sort of
loans, and that the production Of
the examiners report in court would
have resulted necessarily in the
prosecution of many other persons.
Guardians of Jurors.
Morse first was convicted in fed
eral courts in 1908, and subsequent
ly charged that jurymen who passed
on his case were under the influ-
ence of liquor and that the entire
jury was in charge of improper
guardians, six of whom were former
secret service men from Washing
ton. He was convicted on three
counts and sentenced to five years
Imprisonment on each, and although
two of the three convictions later
were set aside, the sentence of fiji
teen years was allowed to stand.
In his long fight to regain lib
erty Morse succeeded in getting
the interest and friendship of prom
inent men here, and it was net
doubted tonight that his effort to
bring the matter into the limelight
again would have powerful support

Physical Tests for College Admission.

Because in his annual report President But
Ter Of Columbia suggests that IL might be wise
TO require physical, as well as mental, tests of
students applying for admission to our univer-
stiles, he is being raked fore and aft by the fire
of critics. Reference to the text OF the report
discloses that President Butler has not gone
nearly so far as one would suppose from the
noise Of the fusillade, yet he does make the
point that to get fullest results from the educa-
tional endowment, instruction and training
furnished at cost far In excess of the tuition
exacted. should be conserved for those able to
make profitable use OF them. and not wasted on
obvious detectives to the exclusion OF worthy
and we'll equipped applicants. He calls atten-
tion TO the application OF the physical test to
candidates for West Point and Annapolis, where
Uncle Sam shuts the door upon young men who
give no promise OF ever becoming soldiers or
sailors. with the inference that literary and
scientific institutions should demand a reason
able prospect OF making good in whatever line
OF work the student wishes to take up.
The outcry against the physical test natu
rally cites numerous great scholars and scien-
lists who have achieved fame despite apparently
insurmopntabe obstacles. Many a great genius
and many philosophical mind has been
hemmed in by a body of fearful fraIlty. Physi-
cal examination would have barred them from
entering any college setting a test like that OF
West Point or Annapolis. and might have lost
TO the world their invaluable contributions To
human knowledge and advancement. President
Butler would doubtless reply that these are all
rare exceptions to the general rule. and that
where one weakling has succeeded through
strong mentality, thousands upon thousands
have failed II Is interesting to note that the
Columbia Alumni News explains the recon-
mendation OF physical examination as in
tended merely TO weed out the notoriousiy un-
nt, Just as the purpose OF the other tests is to
eliminate the mentally undeveloped or deficient
Agree or disagree with him, President But
Ter has plainly started line of thought and
discussion for those responsible for the policy
OF our higher educational institutions not to be
lightly brushed aside II the pressure for college
admission continues TO increase

The Omaha Spirit.

What is the omaha spirit? what is the
outstanding element in the city's life that dis
tinguishes Il above everything else? What is
/ the general impression 1t makes upon the
stranger who comes here for REF visit?
For one thing. Omaha invariably impresses
visitors as a wde-awake end substantial bust
ness center. Abroad il bears top-notch repu-
tatlon for doing a year-round volume and char
acter Of business far above that done by any
other city in the country comparable with It in
population.
For another thing, Omahas people
known to be hospitable and whole-hearted. They
have sent the city's fame to remote corners for
its peerless manner of entertaining conventions
and delegations OF visitors. This is one respect
in which, we think we may say with due mod
esty, the city holds its own with any.
For still another thing, Omaha is physically
well laid out, has wide, and of late well-kept,
streets; is aspiring TO a park system, boasts
most OF the natural elements that go to make
up a flrst-class thorough-going American mu-
nieipality. and Is keeping abreast the times in
the general elevation OF the moral tone of the
community.
But. after all, we may ask with fairness to
the city in which we are all deeply concerned,
what is the distinctive Omaha spirit7 II we
may put that question thus, What should 1t
be2" we venture to reply that the Omaha spirit
should be more the spirit of an amicable unity
OF action among all its people insofar as that
is possible. That are boosters for Omaha
will not be questioned by anyone familiar with
the history OF Ak-sar-Ben or the work done by
our Commercial club, our Real Estate exchange,
our Bureau Of Publicity and our various other
public and quasi-public organizations. and our
last thought would be to urge any more organ
iZatiOna for thig Rut Wa baliava
We voice the majority conviction when we Say
that there is need for a larger, more coherent
cooperation the distinctive Omaha spirit, the
spirit that minimizes faults and magnifes vir-
tues, rooted in an intelligent appreciation Of the
city and its future possibilities, so that he who
runs may read above every other sign, "That is
the Omaha spirit"

An Atmosphere Of War.


France adds its yellow book" to the color
scheme OF alleged causes Of the war, England,
Russia, Germany and Belgium having already
contributed their official papers or books.
France says the kaiser's utimatum to Russia
touched off the fire. Germany, Of course. holds
that the assassination OF the Austrian crown
prince was chiefly responsible for the outbreak
and each nation urges its own viewpoint with
equal vehemence. None. however we venture
TO say, gives the cause which history Is likely
TO name.
The Immediately preceding condition has
been very well phrased as an atmosphere OF war.

Honey

Before sugar became so cheap many house
holds used TO put no little store on honey as a
sweetening for edibles where sugar and syrup
has now come to be the customary thing. AS
a matter of fact, the reason why sugar and
sugar products have had the preference is not
that honey is less tasteful less palatable, or
less nourishiDg but that it is less abundant, and
more costly. Honey is a delicacy on many tables
and could come back largely into its own IL
more attention were given to bee culture and
honey-making, and this very contamination is
likely to be brought about by the unforeseen con-
ditions affecting our sugar production and sugar
supply. Here is a timely hint for the small
farmer, and particularly for the truck gardener
in the neighborhood of the city market. who can
easily have profitable by-product by letting
the bees work for them.

Signs Of Winter,


Since the time the Wyoming weather prophet
predicted the coldest winter in the history OF
the west, and we had one of the mildest. It has
not seemed safe to many who read OF that pre-
diction to become dogmatic about the signs of
winter, such. for example. as the thickness OF
the coats on birds and animals and the action of
vegetation.
But, nevertheless, the Oldest Inhabitant ven
lures a prediction based on the frequent appear
ance at the beginning OF December of heavy,
frosty fringes on trees and shrubbery early in
the morning. Have you not been struck by the
beauty of it? He says this is almost sure sign
of a mild winter, with little snow.
Possibly. but prudence forbids us going far
astray on winter forecasts. We may hope for
the fulfillment of his prediction, yet go right
along with all due preparations for a typical
western winter as il We had not been foretold
what was ahead OF us. Some folks have even
begun TO fret over the absence OF snow fearing
that winter wheat may not get its share before
the ground freezes for the season. Which again
reminds us OF that editorial panegyrle on "An
Early Spring" written in a st. Paul newspaper
sanctum one night for morning consumption.
But before the paper got TO its readers all the
sweet signs OF spring had been completely
buried under about eighteen inches OF beautiful
white snow.
1t is hardly time as yet to worry about snow.
