France offers the same advantages to the manufacturer of silk that it has for generations. The skilled labor is there it is cheap, the raw material is as easily obtainable there as here and climatic conditions are all that could be desired. But the market is here. Protection has already done much to transfer the silk industry to the United States and this move demon- strates that it is continuing to work out the problem of industrial su- premacy.

The platform declaration made in behalf of the republican ecity ticket In the present campaign concludes with an appeal to the voters, irrespective of party, to put the question of good mu- nicipal government and the credit and standing of Omaha above politics. We doubt whether even the most deep-dyed democrat would be brash enough to maintain that the outgoing democratic city administration has added anything to Omaha's prestige in the eyes of the country generally. And no one not stricken with party blindness can fail to see the damage which has been done by having Omaha advertised far and wide as in the cow- boy class. Omaha people visiting in other eities have been constantly chagrined and humiliated by being reminded of the discreditable performances of their official representatives at home and, instead of being free to proclaim Omaha's virtues and beauties, they | current nistory. partisan | Turkey is again the center of European Interest and Constantinople underscores seems to he as complete an overturn of the new regime as that of the old order last July acclaimed the new constitution and new order, welcomed with great fasm the restoration of the reactionaries who made the government & reeking disgrace.

So far as the present is concerned, Canada is doing much to settle the question of the food supply of the | world. Reports from the Canadian northwest are to the effect that in large sections the area sown to wheat will be twice that of last year and all over the wheat-growing provinces the increased acreage is well up to that figure, The last year for which production figures are available is 1907, when the wheat production of Canada was 96,- 600,000 bushels, or only a little over twice as much as Nebraska ralsed dur- ing the same season. The year 1908 witnessed a great influx of settlers into the country and a largely in- creaged acreage, which is being dupli- cated the present season. A glance at the map of the wheat producing portions of Canada will show that a crop of 96,600,000 bushels represents but a fraction of the ultimate capacity ax The Democratic Natfonal Monthly, pro- jected by Norman E.

A colored man up for sentence in St. Louis for crime, after several simi- lar experiences, has given as his ex- cuse that education has made him a criminal. He asserts that he is a grad- uate of a leading eastern university and that but for his college education he would have been content to live the life of a menial and would not have been led into criminal acts.

Rather than too much education, it is evident his education had fallen short. Educa- tion increases capacity and when di- rected into right channels and carried to its proper conclusion can have no other result than the development of character as well as of intellect. By broadening the vision, education un- doubtedly tends to produce a certain discontent with conditions as they ex- ist, but it carries along with that dis- content a desire for that which is bet- ter and through this the world’s prog- ress comes. Inertia is not a characteris- tic uf the human race. It either goes backward or forward and the colored man is no exception to the rule. He must keep step with the world's prog- ress and development or fall farther and farther to the rear and he can progress with the rest of humanity only by equipping himself education- ally to meet the conditions which sur- round him, A private citizen who would pass as many bad bills as the late Nebraska legislature would find himseif under the necessity of hunting a bail boud. | They were looking at Catherine of Russi Said the man: ‘What & | strong and vigorous face she has e e | "Said the woman wonder if her hair WORK AS A CURATIVE. | waved naturally?'—Cleveland Plain Dealer “What did Johnny get whipped for?" | “He done somethin" while his sister was | havin' callers and she told him to go ge Tt 4 her a switch, and he went up to her room 1¢ death penalty prescribed in the penal|and got her false hair, and she told his code of Cuba for revolutionists does not | father.”—Houston Post | meet with popular favor in the island re WANTED, A RECIPE | public, as might have been expected in a country in which a great part of the spend their money for such things probably | habitants are inbued with the revolutionary R I wigh some codger hoaryheaded aud me! o will not quibble unnecessarily about it. |spirit.
