Some Views on the Trades Activity.
! What is considered an unprece.
dented condition Of affairs prevails in
New York's coat and suit industry
today. With the advent Of April all
indications point to activity, the like
of which has not been witnessed in
many, many seasons. A survey of
the market reveals an averaged in
creased business over the came pc
Rod last year of from Is per cent to
80 per cent, and there is hardly a
manufacturer who is not ready to
admit that had he an inkling that the
demand for his product would have
been so remarkably large, the in
crease would have been triple what
it is.
From every section of the country
retailers are pouring in their orders,
and utterly incapable of coping with
the demands, there are many manu-
facturers who have been compelled
to reject the orders, much to their
regret and financial loss. From New

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP.
Move by Civic Improvement League
Meets With Great Enthusiasm.


The "Clean Up and Paint Up But
Ter" idea set in motion by the Civil
Improvement League is meeting will
great enthusiasm and will have thu
unqualified support of every either
of Butler, who takes pride in his owr
possessions and in civic affairs.
Three days have been set apart as
clean up days, April IA, Is and le
and when the sun goes down upon
the evening of the 18th we confident
ly expect to see Butler in her rightful
place as the cleanest, neatest little
city in the entire state.
Committees have been appointed
and have been active for several days
preparing for concerted effort by the
citizens on the days designated and
many of our more enterprising peo-
pie have already responded and have
cleaned up their lawns and back
yards to degree of perfection.
1t is expected that all accumulated
trash will be placed in convenient piles
atthe side ofthe alleys mostconvenient
where it will be collected by the
wagons under direction of the COM
mittee and hauled away.
The campaign will open at 70 clock
on the morning of the l4th with the
blowing of whistles and ringing of
bells and the wagons will make their
first trip for the collection Of garbage
early in the morning.
Prizes will be awarded as follows:
For the most improvement in prem.
ises by individual, first prize $500,
second prize 500. Most improve
ment by ward or block, honorable
mention.
The schools will probably be dis
missed for half day during the cam
paign in order that the school children
may participate.
The league is also agitating the
painting of the fronts of the buildings
about the square a uniform color and
DR.. T. W. Arnold has appointed the
following committe to take up the
matter with the property owners: T.,
W. Silvers, chairman, H. G. Cook,
!: M, Catterlin, N. B. Mcfarland, Bud
Atkeson. This improvement would
add several numbered per cent to the
Of Buffers square.
In order to raise funds to carry out
the program planned the league
has secured the Star Theatre for
Wednesday afternoon and night,
April l4th, when a benefit perform
ance will be given. It is to be hoped
that this will be literally patronized
by our people. An entertainment
was held at the Electric Theatre on
Monday night.

Tale of the Dead Year.

Twelve months Of unusual activity and dis
turbance in every phase of human life will close
with today. From a strictly humanitarian point
OF view, the year has been one OF disappoint-
ment, Of sorrow and cause for regret. To the
utilitarian Il has brought some recompense to
offset the Inconceivable losses incident to the
war Society has been stirred never at any
time in history. At no other period we're ever
such tremendous forces loosed for destruction,
nor did ever mans ingenuity employ more for
midable agencies In conflict. But all the ener-
ges OF man have not been devoted TO war, nor
all his achievements recorded on the field OF bat
tie While the majority Of the great nations
have employed themselves assiduousy In prose-
cution of war on a magnificent scale others have
given attention to development along lines that
mean not only the preservation. but the advance
ment Of civilization and enlightenment
In the United States, commerce and industry
have been stimulated by the war until activity in
some avenues of production is feverish in it's
haste. Generally speaking. the tone of business
is better. Abundant crops have found ready mar
kets at profitable prices and this has brought
new life to the business OF the country. Reports
from all reliable sources of information sat
isfactory in the main as to the conditions at the
close OF the year, and very encouraging for the
future.
On the spiritual and intellectual side, the ad-
vance is quite as general, and may be as sat
isfactory. Americans have been stirred to the
depths by events OF the war. to the end that
patriotism has been given such emphasis as
has awakened the citizen to better and fuller
appreciation OF his obligation and duty to his
country and himself The church has taken on
more vigorous life and the schools are looking
more closely than ever into methods and results
SO that improvement. II possible, will follow.
The balance sheet that must be struck today
will show a goodly sum OF achievement on the
credit side for the people of the United States,
while the prospectus for the new year shows pos
sibilites that should enlist the most earnest OF
effort Our record is good, but we can make a
better one.

comina JudIcIaI Campaign.

Coming Judicial Campaign.
OMAHA. Dec. 29.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: The approaching primary for the
nomination of the seven candidates for
judges Of this judicial district Is one in
which all voters OF the district, regard
less Of party affiliation. should. and. no
doubt. will eagerly participate and anx-
iously await results.
AS this IL the first time in the history
of the state Except in the filling Of
vacancy last year, that our judiciary
was not presented to the voters by and
through party combinations. the party
workers and convention manipulstors
will find themselves sadly out OF a job.
and their self-importAnce will be most
gloriously less and most beautifully
smaller.
The coming campaign in the selection
of the Judges will be on the non-partisan
basis. and the ones receiving the highest
vote at the primary will be placed on the
official ballot.
II has been my pleasure to have per-
sonally and intimately known every Judge
Of this judicial district from Judge Saw
age in 1880 TO and including the present
occupants of the bench, and during that
period OF time we have been fortunately
blessed with many very competent dis
trict judges, as we'll as unfortunately
cursed with few political hacks. the
products of bigotrY and fanaticism. In
this connection am pleased to say that
the bad ones are not included In any OF
the present judges of the district court,
for in all my mountaineering with
those who have occupied the bench Of this
district. have never met more oblig
ing, courteous, impartial and accommo-
dating set OF public officials. 1t is
reasonable to presume that all OF them
will be candidates to succeed themselves.
and while a few OF them have graced
the position for a number OF terms, yet. In
my opinion, Il has but ripened their
Judgment, rendering them more efficient
by reason of the experience acquired. and
while they merit public confidence, yet
it does not necessarily follow that other
good and capable lawyers would not fill
the positions equally we'll, nor does 1t
follow that none other will file.
From the many eligibles. I frequently
hear mentioned the names Of Arthur c.
Walseley, j. NJ mcfarland. c. T.Diclxin-
son, F. s. Howell and George w. Shields
Any OF these men would make excellent
judges. They are even tempered and
fully capable, yet should none Of those
that have mentioned feel disposed to
enter the race. there Is little doubt the
present incumbents viii have plenty OF
opposition. be their opponents heavy or
llghtweights. and by way Of warning I
would advise the unlSnowns 20 be very
backward about coming forward in the
anticipation that they will have soft
shedding in defeating the present incum-
bents. for they are very likely to go
down the toboggan ana have the empty
honor of telling their posterity that they
once ran for district Judge.
As for the office of county judge, 1t
would be but a waste OF time. or a lust
for cheap advertisement for any one to
file against the present Incumbent
Bryce Crawford.

omaha,s Live Stock Market

Figures Just given out from the office Of the
State Railway commission at Lincoln show that
the live stock market at Omaha not only retains
its position of third place in ALL but has risen to
second rank in some OF the divisions OF the In
dustry. and in the matter OF increase in receipts
of all kinds of stock during the year 1915 is
first. Much that is gratifying will be found in
this fact but It is also reminder that much is
yet to be done. The facilities for the marketing
of live stock at Omaha are the equal OF any in
the world, and are unsurpassed in detail. II
this condition were entirely appreciated and
properly taken advantage of. the Omaha market
would be first in all. Rival markets are yet
permitted to draw support from omaha's terri
tory. condition that may possibly be remedied
That it 10 so is not chargeable to the manage
ment of the local stock yards, which has always
been enterprising IN the matter OF endeavoring
to interest Stockholders in the advantages OF the
local market When this effort is properly sec
onded by all concerned. many thousands of ami
mails that now go by Omaha to be sold on other
markets will be disposed Of here. The stock
yards and the packing houses together constitute
our greatest local industry. and effort expended
to make them still greater win not be wasted.

PsychOpathic Tomfoolsry.

For several years the City OF Chicago has
been experimenting with psychopathic tests to de-
termine the mental capacity Of its citizens, es-
pecially OF its school children. At various times
some doubt has been expressed as to the suffl-
cheney OF these so-called tests. or as to the ac-
curacy OF the conclusions to which they lead.
This skepticism lately led to the application OF
the test to a number OF prominent citizens of
Chicago. men who have achieved great success
and been OF eminent service in their lives. The
result was astounding. 1t was proved that. &C
cording to the method adopted by the psyche
pathic experts, practically every one is feeble
minded in some direction. For example. Mayor
William Hale Thompson achieved by the test
mental rating that would be given to boy of IL,
and others even below this mark. A prohibition
candidate for mayor Of Chicago was graded as
having the mentality OF 10-year-old. These
experiments WILDLY illustrate the danger OF per-
hitting the extensive application of pseudo
science to the ordinary affairs of life. This is
not reflection on the psychological researches
so deliberately carried on; II is natures protest
against mans assumption OF ability to exactly
determine the processes Of thought. Certain mem
tai manifestations indicate unerringly the state
OF mind, but the origin OF apprecable impulse or
action is likely to remain forever a mystery as
unscrutable as the secrets OF life and death.
