Humanity in the Test Tube.

A learned judge is to read Eugene O'Neili's
"The Hairy Ape" his purpose being to deter
mine il il contains obscene or unpermissible ex-
pfessions. That is, he is to censor it from
strictly moral standpoint, and, in the end, the
solution will depend on the judges personal
opinion as to what is moral or immoral obscene
or not.
While this is going on. "The Hairy Ape" will
continue to be presented at New York theater,
and be discussed sapiently or casually by the
thousands who witness its unfolding. What
O'Neil appears to have done is to cut another
eross-section Of human life and expose the va
rious dividing lines that partition society into
strata. The interest is not so much in his meth
cd as in his accuracy.
No doubt can be raised as to the relative
standing of the stokehold and the first cabin
or the reaction of the denizen of one sphere
on the habitue Of another. The huge stoker,
animated solely by gross animal impulses and
passions will always be the filthy beast" to the
dainty even if snobbish and supercilious maiden
from the upper deck, and no amount Of expos
itory argument by O'Neill. or Tolstoy, or any
one else will bring them closer together or estab-
lish between communion greater than now rests
on their common humanity.
O'Neills vogue, Is that Of others Of his kind,
rests on his presentation Of sharp contrasts, pac
ing antithetica types in uxtaposition, but it rests
on that alone. His analysis is incomplete, and
his reactions unconvincing, just because his post
ulate is incoherent. Such drama may pass cur
rent for time, but It serves little good, because
it shows only the defect and fails to suggest
the remedy. Humanity has been tried in the test
tube Of many an author. but so far has resisted
ultimate resolution, because Of the obdurate ele-
ments disclosed. principally that Of self disclosed
in both the stoker and the maiden, and no cata-
lyzer suggested.

A Truce With Life.

After questioning . very considerable num-
Der OF college boys OF every class or type John
Palmer Gavit writes. II conclude that In the aver
age case learning Tor its own sake plays rela-
lively small par, in the complex OF motives.
What the typical boy sees in college appears
10 be not any educational process tba, he is to
undergo through instruction so much as chance
TO live. In all that the word may be taken to
mean. in q very pleasant environment and amid
most interesting events aud social activities for
four years or more before the hurly.burly and the
more or less irksome routine Of hard work in
the outside world swallow him up"
One may look back over ones own college
career and be unable TO contradict this estimate.
Outside the professional courses, and within them
10 4 certain extent. there Is q battling lack Of
serious purpose. For many college course
is little more than a truce with life
This Is not true. OF course. Of those students
who are earning their way. although their ed
ucatonal progress is ndubtably handicapped by
the necessity for work outside the cirieuum.
Taken all in all. can II be said that American
colleges are fulfilling their purposel
How many graduates OF these institutions
when they foregather to celebrate their alma
mater, mention their studies or speak OF what
they gained from one course or another? They
may recall with affection some outstanding man
Of the faculty. But for the most part it is
college life. not the work in the class rooms
that is uppermost.
The increased attendance that is swapping
the nations educational halls is not due TO any
new desire for wisdom. Boys who 20 TO college
are merely following the fashion. Many OF them
are not only unprepared, but untitled for Sc
rious scholastic work. Yet it is only fair to ad-
init that most Of them do get something out of
their environment. The point is that they do
not get as much as they might. A college edu-
cation is too often story Of wasted opportunity.

A Network Of Waterways.

A six-foot channel for the Missouri river.
would open it to navigation. Representative
Jefferis speaks the mind of Nebraska in his pro-
posal for federal survey Of the possibility Of
clearing the river for steamboats, between Kan
sas City, Omaha and Sioux City.
The necessity for prompt development Of
cheap transportation facilities to meet the era.
Of prosperity that is looked for was emphasized
at the recent foreign trade convention in Phila-
delphia. William H. Stevenson. Of the Lake
Erie and Ohio canal board Of Pennsylvania, was
one to call attention to the importance Of in
ternai waterways, and mentioned the improve
ment Of the Missouri as among the desirable
projects.
VI 1T is possible to provide within the next
FIVE years a complete connected system Of in
land waterways covering the whole nation for
the small expenditure Of $l00,00000O a year.
one-twelfth the amount the government and
people have given or lent the railroads in the last
three years." this expert declared "Such sys-
tenn would carry s0O,O00,000 tons of freight an
nual1y at a saving Of at least 600 in di-
rect freight charges alone. But it would also
save the people many billions of dollars. for ii
would keep our farms and factories busy and
would supply their products much cheaper to
all the people"
As an example Mr.. Stevenson cited the case
Of the Monongahela river, where the govern
ment has expended $l3,OO0,o0o. In 1920 the saw
ing in freight was $2O,Ooo,ooo great deal more
than the entire sum spent on construction of the
channel.
The president OF the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road once said that 66 per cent Of the straffc
on that road did not pay and that it was neces-
sary to increase the rates on the other "a per
cent With supplementary system Of water
transportation, the bulky, slow-moving freight
could be diverted from land routes. with con-
sequent gain both to the people and the railway
owners.

"A Portrait Of the President.

Nebraska. Statistics.

AT the annual meeting Of the Nebraska Tu,
berculoss society last week passing reference
was made to Nebraska's vital statistics. Maybe
il would be more accurate to refer to the lack
Of them, for, strictly speaking, the registration
in Nebraska amounts almost to nothing. Only
within the last two years has the state been
admitted to what is designated as the "registra-
ton area" which means that some reasonably de-
pendable record is kept OF certain data regarding
disease but these are elementary and far from
being sufficient in scope to meet tho demand for
accuracy. Even 50 important matter - birth
registration is not given in satisfactory form,
although in the cities farly close track is kept
OF the infants coming into the world. Other
phases, however, are sadly neglected. Reasons
for this are. not hard to find. Many people
regard the necessary information as private and
personal, and concerning. themselves Or their
family only, ahd particularly none OF the pub
lies business. Family physicians are al times
inclined to synpattize with this attitude Of mind,
and therefore. .acduiesce in the SUPPRESSION OF in
formation. Little harm. might result from, this,
ordinarily but at times the omissions are annoy
ing If not serious Iii their effects In the matter
Of tuberculosis, ii impossible to make reliable
comparisons in Nebraska, for the data is ineom-
plete. What is true of this disease is true OF
Others. Go back few years. and the baby born
in Nebraska will have difficult time to prove
that he ever was born. if he has to rely on pub
lie records. This state Of affairs should be cor
rected; = proper law properly enforced is the
method available, and il can be done with little
public inconvenience and perhaps with great
public good.

More Justice. Less Law.

The procedure OF the courts has become so
complicated with technicalities that the idea back
OF the recently incorporated Arbitration Society
or America is sure Of popular welcome This IS
TO be court without lawyers, designed to speed
Justice. make il less expensive unshackle It from
techncaties, establish simple truth and promote
good feeling and mutual understanding among
disputants
Except for the fact that il is open to the gen.
eral public for the settlement OF all controversies
except criminal and divorce cases. this is not
new departure. In Omaha the Live Stock aud
Grain exchange now adjust disputes among
their, members before an arbitration board in
stead Of resorting to the courts. The Federal
Trade commission and the Interstate Commerce
commission are trade courts Of similar kind. In
many other places the trend toward what may
be called Executive justice" is to be found.
Odd though It may seem, many OF the back
ers OF this new court are lawyers Among the
incorporates are Dean Harlan F. Stone OF the
Columbia Law school, former Governor Whit
man, ex-Sscretary df Commerce Redheld. Dean
Frank H. Sommer OF the University OF New
York Law school, and number OF bankers,
merchants and professional men, including the
president Of the New York Rotary club.

General satisfaction will attend the decision

logical validity of the law there never was room
for serious question. The power Of the state

ssntially implies the power to prescribe the gen

The object Of compulsory schooling IL to

To require children to attend school, and to
permit the school to teach them nothing Of civic
value would be gross stultifcation. OF the
educational soundness Of it there is no more
room for question The weakest and least sat
isfactory Of all the work done in the average
public school is its teaching-or not teaching
Of English. Until the schools turn out scholars
far better instructed and trained in the use Of
the vernacular, they have no business to give
an hours instruction in any foreign tongue.
Finally. on the moral ground the law is Of i'm
pregnable propriety-indeed, of imperative de-
sirability. The very fact that in any community
or state there is a large proportion, even a ma
jority. of residents of non English speaking
origin is one of the strongest possible reasons
