HE OMAHA ¢ OVEMBER 14, ME——FM Housing the State University. The authorities charged with the . ‘ management of Nebraka State univer- ViCTOR nn!l}:\\;ATF.R, sity are beginning to realize that the —_— . |mext big problem before them is that Entered at Omaha pe toffice as S€CONT | of housing the institution. Housing the ! g—— university as it exists today presents a difficult enough task, but the still more important demand is for a far- seeing plan that will not only provide and for some big corporations will en- tail no small burden to get out the re- quisite returns. The whole law, of course, Is likely to be contested in court, but, assuming that it holds good, it will take time and experience to put the machinery of the new tax into smooth running order. Yet it may be reasonably taken for granted that the poliey of the government will be to facilitate compliance where an honest effort to comply is manifested and that the penalties will be invoked only where there is evidence of de- liberate intention to ignore the law or evade the tax. The accountants who keep books for corporations will be ex- pected to do thelr best to make the returns called for by the law, and have a right to expect in return an oppor- tunity to correct unintentional mis- takes.

The problem of suitably housing the state university is not to be worked out over night. It involves the question whether it is better to try to extend the present cramped location or to transplant the university bodily to a new site free from existing encum- brances and affording ample room to grow. It involves the question of style of architecture and landscape garden- ing. It involves the question of fixing |the boundary line of the university's activities. .1t provides the question of the relation of the institution to its student body and to the city of Lin- coln as a business center and a social community. The problem of housing the university calls for careful and de- liberate consideration, and yet the de- cision cannot be too long deferred. U Wes The Latest in Locomotion. Invention is traveling fast in its quest of faster locomotion until we have grown accustomed to the rapid supplanting of new devices designed to revolutionize travel. The turbine has developed amazing possibilitles of speed for the steamship. Automobiles and airships have added their measure of bewilderment to the rapidity of flight over the earth's surface and above it. But railroads have continued to be our chief traffic-bearer and rail- roads, as we know them, seem to have reached the llmit of their capacity for speed. Practical operation has just been demonstrated, however, of a new form of' railroad that appears to merit all that its inventor claims for it, a swift- ness exceeding 100 miles an hour in comparative safety. Louis Brennan, who became famous through his inven- tion of the torpedo which bears bis name, found the world skeptical when he announced some time ago that he could combine the gyroscope and monorail into a practical form of loco- motion, yet that is what he is now credited with having accomplished. In his public demonstration in England a few days ago he used a forty-foot car carrying forty passengers, operated over a single rail in an upright posi- tion by two huge gyroscopes. An elec- tric motor kept the gyroscopes revolv- ing and drove the car at high speed along stretches of straight track and around sharp curves with an easy and comfortable motion. Now that this achievement is of- ficially applauded as the beginning of a revolution in rallroading, we may look for its present application as at least a possibility. Every boy who has ever spun a top will at once recognize the principle of the invention, which, it completely successful, will transform an anclent toy into an agency for man's fastest flight.

Since the modern school system dis- carded the teaching of the alphabet some of us old fogies who studied their A B C’s have had reason to lament no longer, for one of the great unjiversity psychologists has given a newer dignity and distinetion to. the alphabet that should restore it to its pristine precedence without delay. In brief, the theory is that each letter has ts own color tone, as orange for I, reddish for Z, deep blue for O. Any- one who knows all the letters can readily see that before the list is com- no brass bands playipg “Hail to the |Pletely painted the alphabet will have Chief.” made Joseph’s famous coat take to the ' — - woods and hide among the autumn The National Geographical soclety |leaves. cuts no ice with Dr. Cook so long as It is an undeniably pretty theory the Chautauqua circuit provides him |and has infinite possibilities. Starting ‘with pay dirt. with the knowledge that S has a yel- lowish tone, we may instantly concelve that the $ mark is pure golden. Carry- ing the scheme into words, we recog- nize the cucumber as green, and the politician as a rich plum color. Blue blazes h long been recognized as a characteristic of some forms of ex- pression, just as the air has been known to be made black with some other varietles, and“we now realize that the responsibility of talking ome ‘“‘deaf, dumb and blind” may be traced to the dazzling tints displayed in the conversational pyrotechnics. But the scientific discovery presents a discours, aging outlook in the prodigious work | that will be entailed in the remodeling of familiar expressions. As for in- stance, the term ‘‘hue and cry,” which in the face of this color scheme is dis- tinctly tautological. The word ecry necessarily carries its own mournful hue, just as the word smile immedi- ately suggests a mellow glow that is invisible after 8 o'clock. But these color tones in letters and words are really a great thing, and the close student of the scheme may be able to frame up a personal vocabu- lary in such harmony that he shall always be able to radlate either a heliotrope or a rose-colored atmos- phere when calling upon his best girl, or a fawn color when seeking to negotiate a loan. Welcome anew to the alphabet, so long laid away in lavender, and let us acclaim its varle- ted glories with all the honors for- merly accorded to only red letter days. ubscribers leaving the @ity tem- porarily should bave The D matled to them.

Getting the Ringleaders. From the latest announcement im- plicating men higher up in the sugar frauds it is evident that the watch- word of the government is, ‘‘Let no |guilty man escape” against whom there is evidence warranting prosecu- tion. 3 The difficulty of securing tangible proof appears as great in these sugar fraud cases as in the notorious whisky ring frauds which burdened the second term of President Grant. In that his- toric episode it will be remembered that while the administration was not directly involved, officials of the reve- nue department were found to be in league with the crooked distillery in- terests and that because of the intri- cate care with which the plot was per- fected Secretary Bristow of the Treas- ury department was confronted with a glgantic task In ferreting out the offenders. Ultimately the men higher up were caught and nearly 250 indiet- ments brought against distillers and revenue officials, conviction of the ringleaders being fMally secured. Al- though the government had been de- frauded of nearly $1,700,000 before the extent of the conspiracy was mani- fest, the people had the satisfaction ot seeing fhe whisky ring broken up and the conspirators either placed in prison or made outcasts for life. Corruption in the customs collection occasionally crops out in spite of the utmost vigilance and the sudden in- fusion of new blood is having a visible effect on the health of the service. Powerful interests have assailed the activities of the administration in pur- suing the sugar frauds just as they assailed those attacking the whisky Prompt to meet the indiscretion of the general who offended Austria the Italian cabinet has sent into retirement Asinari via pons asinorum.

What a merry, old-fashioned flavor arises from the little paragraph in the current news, simply stating that “the president will spend the Christmas holidays in the White House with his family.” Here I8 presented a picture of home-gathering which will in- stantly appeal to every American fam- fly, father returned from his journey- ings and the children back from school. The responsibility of official position disappears for the time and the chief executive becomes the man of family, closely akin to all other fathers similarly celebrating the annual festiv- ities at the hearthstone.

The Family Unit of Society. The steady increase of divorce is generally regarded as a most ominous menace to the progress of the race. That there has been a tremendous in- crease in the proportion of marriage dissolutions, and that the rate of in- crease is still growing in this country has been demonstrated over and over by the statistics. 1Is the divorce evil ultimately to disrupt the family as a unit of civilized soclety? This is the question that is self-propounded when- ever the subject of divorce is under consideration. It is reassuring to find that the most recent and most exhaustive study of the dfvorce problem answers this ques- tion in the negative. A volume just issued embodying the investigations of Dr. James P. Lightenberger into the facts of divorce which he calls “A Study in Social Catisation” Insists that the modern increase of family dis- union is produced by changing condi- tions in the industrial, economic and social relations of the sexes; that it is due to the spread of intelligence and the emancipation of women manifested in social friction that is irritating but not necessarily destructive. The new conditions make it necessary that there be greater freedom of divorce rather than less, so that the family of the future may be founded upon vol- untary will and not on external force. Summing up his generalizations, Dr. Lichtenberger formulates the follow- ing: The single pairing family will persist It will be founded freely upon the natural basis of “mutual attraction and prefer- ence.” It will be entered into and per- petuated by choice. Subordination and domination will be eliminated. Tt will be the voluntary union of one man and one woman, prospectively for life on the basis of mutual respect, rights and privileges. An approximate equality of actual or po- tentlal economic opportunity will ove come sex dependence and an equal stand- ard of morals will minimize sexual im- morality, Theoretical monogamy will tend to become actual monogamy. The func- tion of the family will consist In the per- petuation and education of the race. Economic burdens will be lightened. A wifehood of cholce and a motherhood of privilege will insure not more numerous, but better born children. The higher edu- cation and more systematic development of women will result in the better train- ing of the youth. The state may safely be entrusted with the problem of secular education and the church with the re- ligious instruction, but the home will con- tinue to be the only school adequate for the development of strong personallty and the attalnment of life in all its highest manifestations, After all the alarms sounded over the admitted evils of divorce and all the dire predictions of certainty of family chaos unless divorce is wholly suppressed, this statement from an un- biased authority, who has approached the subject as a scientific problem, at least lets in a ray of hope to illumine the darkness of the future and to en- courage faith that the family unit of soclety will eventually be strengthened by purification. The Missionary Pathfinder. Inclusion of a bequest of nearly $3,000,000 for foreign missions in the recent will of an American millionaire afforded opportunity for the custom- ary criticism of those who are opposed to this particular cause. Adherents of the Christian church are familiar with the apostolic doctrine of their faith which commands to “‘go forth into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature,”” and belleve that for- eign missions are but an exponent of this fundamental. But as a matter of fact the misslonary is more than an exponent of a religious propaganda. As a matter of business, to put the matter in its basest light, money spent for missions I1s a form of investment on which returns are expected. Any merchant familiar with the de- velopment of the world’s commerce will testify that trade follows the mis- slonary. That has been the experi- ence in all lands. Our,own country was originally opened up to trafic largely through the instrumentality of the re- ligious apostle of civilization and the nomenclature of the west is full of relics of those early ploneers. The missionary does not force his creed upon any native; indeed, in many lands the converts are few and far be- tween; but wherever the mission is ex- tended, not only are the civilizing forces of the white man fostered among & people who are benefited by them, but also the commerce of the white man takes a new foothold and begins a further advance, so that prac- tically, as well as ethically, the occa- sional gift of a few millions to the cause of missions is not to be con- sidered money thrown away. According to the Lincoln Journal the “unless’ in Mr. Bryan's disinclina- tion to announce himself as a candi- date for the United States senate is to be filled out, ‘‘unless the other demo- cratic aspirants get into such a wrangle that they see no other way out but to withdraw altogether and leave the field free to him.” With this advance notice it behooves Mr. Bryan's frlends to set all the other would-be democratic senators sixes and sevens with one another. The deeper the promoters of that so- clety for the prevention of infant mor- tality go into their subject, the more they will realize that they have under- taken the one thing, which in all th world, is wpost worth while, Though many strong forces not only of ignor- ance but also of civilization are arrayed against them, starting the bables well along & healthy life s more valuable to any nation than the building of the fleetest and most powerful Dread- naught. —_— Since Lady Cook has gone back to England in disgust because she found American women too busy spending their husbands’ money to bother about | sharing their husbands' votes, we may resume our own selutions of the prob- | lem of how to keep our wives happy though voteless.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Cleveland Leader: The world is again to behold miracles, says a South Carolina preacher. You're bebind the times, brother. The world is beholding so many of them already that it's getting used to them. Baltimore American: Why ministers leave the pulpit is becoming an Interesting tople. The New York multi-millionaire who left in his Midas-bequests 350,000 for needy preachers of his denomination came pretty close to hitting the solution of the problem on the head. Charleston News and Courier: Cardinal Gibbons says that woman's suffrage would be the death blow of domestio life and happiness. Considering the number of death blows domestio happiness has received, we are inclined to believe that it has as many ltves as a cat. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: A St. Louls clergyman who attacked the city press in a sensational manner the other day sald that he wished his remarks to be quoted by the mewspapers at which they were directed. Thaf, however, without the saying, since such sensational statements are never made by sensational preachers for any dther purpose than the one of sensational advertising. Pittsburg Dispatch: The Baptist minis- ters in northern Ohio have vetoed the plan of having an evangelist come into the terri- tory to hold meetings. They will do their own evangelizing. That is the proper spirit, If the ministers in any community accom- plish all they might there would be nothing left for evangelists to do. The presence of an evangelist s a charge of inefficiency on the part of the local ministerial forces.
