THE LAST TON.

Omaha World Herald: In the good
old days there used to be rule, at
banquet tables that "there shall never
be an empty glass nor full one"
This applies also to coal bins, it
would seem.
The time O. year has arrived when
the party with the full coal bin re-
grets his extravaganza, and the per-
son with a mere pittance of peat in
his basement gloomily contemplates
further investment.
1t is the last, costly ton that tears
ones heart strings and causes one to
think about California or Florida. 1t
is the last desperate assault made by
the demon furnace that causes the
most anguish in the householder's bos-
ON. Spring may be near, but the
nights still are cold and the radi-
ator continues to demand its pound
of anthracite or whatever your pei
may be.
The impossible task of stretching

be good, a column need not be all
funny. Humor is subtle thing; 1T
pervades a column and is the soul
Of it; but even humor is not always
funny.
The column conductor ought to
tell the truth as he sees it, and some
times the truth is mighty solemn. A
part of the column may sparkle with
wit, another part may contain satire,
another, pathos, another, pure lyric
ism, yet another, earnest literary
criticism and discussion. For the
column mans range must be wide;
it must glance at contemporary
thought and life and art. His pecu-
liar humor tinges the whole and gives
his individuality to his work He is
not necessarily funny man. Peo-
pie with strong sense of humor are
seldom funny.
On the other hand, if a column
man takes himself or his public too
seriously, he is doomed. If he were
| a propaganda, he couldn't be col
umn man. Propagandists rarely pos
sess the ultimate sense of humor.

THE DIGNITY OF SILENCE.

when | am travelling on rail
road train" says an old editor, "and
go into the smoking room, like that
stranger best who says nothing; who
just sits quietly and behaves"
There is a dignity in silence that
is charming. Not grumpishness, not
sullenness-that is not what is meant.
One must speak when spoken to;
one should bear his share of the bur-
den of conversation at the proper
time. But the forward" or fresh
fellow who talks to the whole smok-
ing room full of people, in a sort of
worldly wise fashion, and in racous
voice, or the one who discusses his
private affairs with a friend or
stranger in tone of voice that can
be heard by every one present that
| is the individual against whom the
complaint lies.
The man "who just sits quiet and
behaves,r Isn't that a good way to
put it? People generally behave
when they are quiet; certainly there
is less chance of becoming involved
in unseemly conduct. The loud talker
may not be yicious-in fact he is
seldom of that turn of MINDFUL
he isn't behaving" when he talks
too much or in too loud voice. He
isn't deporting himself with that
charm which pertains TO the man who
"just sits quietly.

GER, and that they know, too, how to
show him his place. And exactly the
place which God has allotted to the
1nigger."
Something of the cost to the nation
of it's race prejudice, especially of the
race prejudice in the South, has been
indicated by George Elliott Howard
of the University of Nebraska. 1t has
absorbed intellectual energy in main
tanning dogmas; it has sterilized
thought in other directions. Where, "

Geological, anthropological, or econo-
mic monograph, the result of accredit-
ed modern scientific methods, produc-
ed by representative of the South

hardly approach such study in the
right spirit without violating the dog
mas which bar the path that alone can
lead to scientific truth"

THE COST OF RACE PREJUDICE.

Herbert j. Seligman in Harper's
Magazine: Unless Americans are
cynical as to the efficacy of intelli-
gence and believe that blind and un-
comfortable forces must dominate
their national life, it is time to begin
life, it is time to begin setting their
cellar of race relations in order. AS
a preliminary to the letting in of light,
be it said that few Americans, if any,
have made outstanding contributions
to the literature Of race relations. The
North is only beginning fully to rea-
lie the burden which it shares joint
ly with the South. The South, which
has always insisted it knew the negro
