Seven deaths is the record of the season’s experience in permitting Ne- braska boys to go hunting. + The shot- gun in the hands of a boy has foot ball beaten to a standstill. Democratic senators announce they will not delay the passage of the tariff bill. The less they talk on the meas- ure the less they will expose the de- moralization of their party. It is a significant fact that just as Mr. Gotch swept Mr. Mahmout off bis feet in Chicago the Turks began the job of putting the missionaries on the mats of Macedonia for good. Governor Carroll of lowa has signed a bill ‘penalizing ratiroads for delay in enforcing rulings of the rallway com- mission. This is a bill similar to one defeated in the Nebraska legislature. But the lowa legislattre was a plain republican body and not made up of anti-corporation demo-pops like the late lamented Nebraska institution. The Summer Capital. President Taft has decided upon Woodbury Point, Beverly, Mass. his summer home, and the lawn at Oyster Bay will have a chance to recuperate from thé vigorous tramping of recent years, when officlaldom and near offi- claldom followed President Roosevelt to his summer retreat. Aside from being near the sea, Woodbury Point possesses the added advantage of a first-class golf course. In his choice of a presidential recreation and a place where it can be exercised Mr. Taft has shown wisdom. No one heretofore has invented a plan which would keep the insistent office hunter or politician at a distance, but anyone who ever saw a golf stick in action will not for a mo- ment question its Petency. The fishing banks of Buzzard's Bay, the Garfield home at Mentor, the Mc- Kinley front porch at Canton and Har- rison's residence at Indianapolis were freely invaded. Even Hayes was not immune when he retired to the quiet of the Soldiers’ home, where boarding was economical. It will be a courage- ous man, however, who will come within the range of a golf stick, im- pelled with the force of President Taft's avoirdupois. The west might be inclined to jeal- ousy over the president going to New England with his summer capital if it did not know he will need a rest and quiet after a session of congress, but it would caution him against the use of any simplified spelling when he slices a drivg or a golf ball is lost in a chipmunk hole. Prim Massachusetts might be shocked, and the state is so small that strong language might be heard to the utmost boundary. Wealth of Rockefeller. The trial of the Standard Oil cases have served the purpose of throwing some light on the wealth of John D. Rockefeller. Current report, with the natural tendency to exaggerate and deal in large figures, has generally taken a billion dollars as the amount of his fortune. The testimony showed that his holdings in Standard Oil were all in the parent company, his only in- terest in the many subsidiary and al- lled corporations being through his ownership of Standard stock, of which he holds about 25 per cent, at market price worth $165,000,000. In discussing this disclosure men best posted in the financial world give it as their opinion that his other hold- ings and property would scarcely equal in value his Standard Oil stock and probably bring the total up to about $300,000,000. This falls far short of the billion dollars with which he has been popularly credited. Neither Mr. Rockefeller nor any of his friends, however, under this showing need worry about where or how he is to se- cure a meal ticket. A fortune of $300,000,000 is so vast as to be beyond the power of compre- hension when it is considered in the light of the fact it has all been amassed within the lifetime of its pos- sessor. Even the yearly income from his holdings exceeds in amount the greatest fortunes of a few decades ago. Its potentiality in the affairs of the world when in the possession of a man shrewd enough to have accumulated it almost staggers contemplation. Lit- tle wonder the people: stood behind President Roosevelt in his Aght against conditions on which such a colossal fortune may be built and support the demand that equal opportunity be given every man to exercise the talents which are his. Labor Luaen at the Wfiiu House. The conference at the White House between the president and a deputa- tion of labor leaders ig likely to be an eye-opener to those laboring men who allowed themselves to be deluded dur- ing the late campaign into the belief that Mr. Taft was an ememy of the workingman. the visitors was of a character to demonstrate that the president is too big and too broad a man to allow the incidents of the campaign to influence him. Personally they were cordially received, one and all, but what is far more to the point is the outcome of the conference. Mr. Taft let it be known beyond the chance of misunderstanding that he stands by his views on labor questions as expressed in his letter of acceptance of the presidential nomination and later in his inaugural address. While more than willing to co-operate in any promising plan to ameliorate the conditions of the laboring men, any action taken must be in the light of its effect upon the whole people, although | he will be glad to have the advice and assistance of labor representatives. The fact that at the conclusion of the interview the representatives of labor expressed themselves as satisiled dem- onstrates that they came away with faith in practical results. The problems of labor are bcth complex and vital to the country, and the real friends of the laborer concede that the solu- tion, which embraces equily to all, will be the solution which will work for their own good. Labor has a right to expect that unjust burdens be lifted, that laws be adjusted to meet the changing and changed conditions of our industrial life, and Mr. Paft has demonstrated that in their fair adjust- ment labor can confidently look to him as » ad it the lesders of the labor move- pient shall go forward with the effort beann’ «nd lend practical ald in the | solution of these difficulties, it will go far toward accomplishing the desired purpose. The millenium is not here, neither is it in sight, but mutually beneficial co-operation is better than factious opposition. A determined ef- fort to work in harmony with a care- ful mapn of broad understanding and a |l|!e is the piling up of money. The reception accorded | THE OMAHA SUNDAY clear grasp of the situation like Mr. Taft will go a long ways toward a more satisfactory adjustment of the relations between labor and capital. Working Out the Forest Policy. The president has instructed the secretary of the interior to restore to public entry approximately 65,000,000 acres of land held apart under the for- est reserve act. This order has been the cause of much rejoicing in the in- termotintain states, where most of the land is located, and by some heralded | as the abandonment of the forest re- serve policy of the past. A careful survey of the situation does not sup- port such conclusion. Neither is the action merely responsive to the clamor of the sections involved against that policy. It is rather the natural de- velopment of the forestry plans along scientific lines. When the reforestation problem was first taken up it was with a decidedly imperfect understanding of the condi- tions, though the necessity was fully estimated. In order that the work might not be blocked or negatived by selfish private interests o: made un- duly expensive by unscrupulous men, the government naturally reserved all lands which by any possibility might be required for the purpose. In fol- lowing out this plan millions of acres which were temporarily withdrawn from settlement, but on late investiga- tion found not to be needed, have been restored to entry. It is not the first instance where this course has been pursued and undoubtedly will not be the last, for the needs of the service are even as yet fimperfectly under- stood. While temporary inconvenience to individuals and communities may have resulted from the plan adopted, the people of the west and of the whole country have an ultimate interest in the success of the forestry plans which far outweighs such disadvantages. The Land of the Dollar, After sojournin, in the United states for some time making critical investigation of financial and social conditions, Prof. Ferrero arrives at the conclusion that Americans as a nation are no more given over to the chasing of the dollar than others. That they are more successful in the quest, how- ever, he admits, but in forming his conclusions sets over against this the American habit of spending money. Americans have long resented the imputation that their only object in Amer- ica’s answer has been made whenever there was suffering and want in the world, in the presence of great disas- ters, by opening up the pocketbooks of the people and pouring out money with a prodigality unexpectede All who come with open minds and observe must reach the same conclu- sion. The country is not pent up, there is elbow room for all, begetting a ‘restless energy which is fruitful of accomplishment. Human nature does not change with a day and the fact that these results are likewise at- tained by people of foreign lands who come here belles the charge of sordid desire for simple accumulation. There is scarcely a country orf the face of the globe which has not benefited by American largess and it is world was admitting the America {8 not supreme, dollar in Lesson for the Horseman. The almost universal ban which has been placed by law upon racetrack gambling has been heralded far and wide as sounding the death knell of horseracing. There are some, how- ever, who do not concur in this view and these are inaugurating a move- ment to demonstrate the truth of their contention. Enlisted in the effort are a number of the most conspicuous fig- ures of the old regime who have fought the anti-gambling bills until they met absolute defeat. The nien who are back of the move base their hopes of success on the opinion that the American public not only loves the horse, but that it loves honest sport. To such limits had gambling on horse races gone that the public had lost faith in the honesty of the racetrack and always inclined to question the result as being the settlement of the real merits of the contest. With the ascendancy of the betting ring came the decadence of racing sport and little but the gam- bling spirit, with its attendant de- moralization, survived. In forming an estimate of the prob- ability of success for bookless horse racing the history of base ball may be cited. The same conditions at one time seriously threatened the life of the game and the banishment of the betting ring and poolroom connections marked the beginning of the success of professional base ball. With the sport dependent upon receipts at the gate for those who delight in honest competition, free from suspicion of crookedness, it has grown in popular- ity and yielded financial returns to its promoters not dreamed of in the other days. Lovers of the horse would not like to think his popularity is hitched to so demoralizing a side-line as the bookmakers' gamble, and these will hope that a really great sport may survive, In searching for the cause of the progressive Turkish cabinet the ad- vent of the modern woman's headwear should not be overlooked. After the resolution of last July Turkish women were emancipated from the veil and the face covering sanctioned by the custom of centuries. Apparently they were not content with limited liberty. They insisted on going the limit. Mil- linery shops bloomed where none bloomed before and the garish and BEE: APRIL 18, 1909. giddy headwear of 1909 deflantly chal- lenged the traditions of ages. By Allah, that was too much! e e—— Mr. Justice Gould of Washington will take notice there is another boy- cott on right under his nose. One fac- tion of the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to attend a recep- tion tendered by the wife of the vice president of the United States because the leader of the other faction was to be in the receiving line. There is also proof for you that the revolutionary fires have not burned out. Governor Shallenberger says he re- sented the visit of the Omaha delega- tion as an attempt at coercion. Leav- ing out of the question the merits or demerits of the 8 o'clock closing bill under consideration, the question is pertinent why the visit of Omaha men was coerclon and the calls of people from other sections of the state on the same measure were simply friendly advice. —— It is fairly certain that the makers of armor plate do not ‘view with alarm” the advent of Austria and Spain as buyers in the naval marts of the world.

Christian Register: “Unity” does not unite. It is a deadening spiritual effort as well as ending contention—that 1y unity alone. A single church in a town is valuable as a social gathering place, and it may be utilized for the highest moral purposing. There Is still a great welght of negativeness. The sects really meant something definite and positive. This half-way unity means nothing in particular. Out of our dally life has gone the meaning of primitive Chris- tianity, and just as surely has departed the call of the Puritan. We are not now preparing for another world. The Cal- vinistic God is as dead as the god of Homer, and no amount of preaching, in | one church or in ten churches, can awaken him. We need a church to help us live, and not to help us die.

The anclent and tevered tradition the rura! districts give birth to cur leading orators, statesmen, men of letters, of af- fairs and of the professions Is rather sum- marily upset by Dr. Frederick Adams Woods In the current issue of Sclence.

M. 600 to 638 BACK FROM THE BRINK. Boy Vietim of Advanced Tetanus Practically Brought Back to Life. Pittsburg Gazette One of the most remarkable cases in the annals of medicine has just been brought to a successful conclusion at the West Penn hospital, Pittsburg. Hugh Brewer aged 9 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Brewer of Church and_Ridge avenues, Ben Avon, was the patient. Although he has been pronounced dead more than twice during the elghteen days he occupled a cot in the hospital, he was finally dis- charged last Thursday and is expected to completely recover soon. When the lad was taken to the hospital he was suffering from tetanus at an ad- vanced stage and his death was seemingly certain. He was, however, given the re- cently discovered magnesium sulphate treatment, the solution bemg injected di- rectly into the spinal canal. Antitoxin in- jectlons were also employed and oxygen was administered at frequent intervals in large quantities. Although the radical treatments brought rellef, the boy could only rest for about twenty-four hours, when the acute at- tacks would recommence. These alternate spasms and periods of compara.i.. calm continued until last Monday. During that time there were several occasions when respiration was apparently totally sus- pended and the lad, according to all the usually accepted tests, was dead. So con- vincing were the tests that Mrs. Brewer, who was In attendance on her som, told the physicians to give up their efforts to revive him. The physicians, however, refused to dis- continue thelr work. At one time ' they were busy continuously for forty-eight hours. Tt I8 belleved that never before has so large a quantity of oxygen been ad- ministered to one patient is so short a time. Tt was used so lavishly that extra supplies were ordered and the hospital had at one time sixteen extra cylinders on hand. Although no data is avaflable, young to have estab- lished a record In this particular, Incidentally the case is asserted to be a vindication of the claims of the vivisec- tloniste. The hospital authorities unite in attributing the to the magnesium sulphate Injections, a treatment which was brought to perfection only a year B ago through experiments on animals. 8houla such investigations be stopped hy the en- actment of the legislation for which the pronounced anti-vivisectionists work- ing, physiclans assert, such cures at ||H\: of young Brewer would be imposible. | NEWSPAPERS ARE BETTER cure are Give Schools and Colleges Effective Publicity. Matl Order Journal. Evidence has shown that the newspapers are the logical mediums for school adver- tising. Men and women who give atten- tlon to educational problems are, as a rule, the kind who keep in touch with the af- fairs of the world. They read the news- papers for the news that's In them—for in- formation as to what congress s doing, for the soclety news, for dry goods store s, for political news, for reports of cur- rent happenings here and abroad in every department of human action The daily newspapers are the mediums that have “made good” during the past several years on this class of advertising. Besides the reason already given for this there are a number of others. Por one thing, there is a better opportunity of peo- ple getting acquainted with a school through a medlum which comes out more frequently than once a month. Another advantage In using newspapers lies In the fact that as different sectlons are covered by them, the school may -use different copy and different arguments in its home terri- tory from that used in other sections. In the selection of mediums to use, there is no question that the papers which appeal to the more cultured, more serious-minded readers, rather thar to the frivolous or those of low taste an1 morals, are the ones that will bring the best results.
