St — Members of the Omaha Real Estate exchange are being Instructed how to draw wills.

Abdul Hamid thought he had three millions in the German bank, but the fact that the cashier declines to recog- nize him without his regal helmet teaches us that when we have a job as king we ought to stick to it. For Abdul's case, it looks llke a case of wo _giown—the double cross, Scholar and Athlete. Whether he be considered as the scholarly athlete or the athletic scholar, that Individual is getting due |recognition from the practical world | Physical prowess enlists admiration at large, as 18 attested by the acclalm be |stowed upon the champion of every |contest, whether hearty brute or agile |gentleman. But fo one ever expects |to see the strictly physical hero occu- pying high place in affairs Sim- flarly, the devotee of manly sports has not always been regarded seriously, and the question has even been raised whether the colleges were not devoting too much attention to athletics, thereby possibly diverting students from development along useful lines. The answer to such criticism is met |by the recent appointment of a fa- mous halfback and an intercollegiate golf champlon to important posts In the government gervice, where keen |mentality is necessary to administer nice points of law, finance and diplo- macy. Mr. Taft is a shrewd judge of human values, and he recognizes the worth of a robust brain in"a robust body, when both have undepgone sys- tematic co-operative training. Hith- erto the athletlc man of affairs has found his chief field of publlc recog- nition in the pages of fiction, where the clergyman with varsity muscles suddenly evolves heroism, but of late even those leaders among men who had no athletic yewth are eoming to understand the merits of physical ex- ercige. It is this reawakened general inter- est in athletics that has led to the placing of emphasis on the usefulness of the athletic scholar. He is hardly a new discovery, for he has had his place, and that a high one, constantly in the work of life. But your true ath- lete is a modest fellow, and when he finds his field of endeavor he seldom seeks self-exploitation, but carves out his career by the same earnest effort that marked his days with books and apparatus while at school | An Election Straw. The congressional by-election in the Bixth Illinois district has been ex- pected at the outset to be a test of the voters' attitude concerning the recent tariff legislation, but such a peculiar campalign developed that it is not easy to read any particular lesson in the returns. Certginly the result cannot be accepted as an exhibit against the new tariff law, for while only half the vote was brought out, the relative nor- mal republican majority was main- tained. Mr. Moxley, the succasssful republican candidate, was Senator Lor- imer's personal choice for succession to his seat in the house, and in the face of the bitter hostility of the Chicago republican newspapers because of his deal with the democrats at Springfield, Mr, Lorimer may claim a victory which is largely a personal one. So many conflicting Interests were brought into the canvass that it is not safe to draw conclusions, although the” fact that speaker Cannon took the stump for Mr. Moxley, and invited any rebuke the voters desired to register against Cannonism, gives some significance to the republican majority maintained against both democratic and independ- ent nominations of considerable strength. L — Triumph of the Mind Wave, When Young America comes to the rescue, we may be sure that it will be by the most approved and up-to- date method, as witness the experience of Father Knickerbocker at the behest of his hopefuls furnishing a startling example of the progress of the rising generation. While the parents of the metropolis had been in wonderment over the spirit rappings of the visiting Italian medium, and had been puzzling their heads over other occult probiems of the day, the children, in their straightforward, practical way, have {scored a real victory along telepathic | lines. It seems that the adults had been unable to convince the Board of Educa- tion of the needs of a new high school. Earthly methods failing, fhe children took up the crusade, and appealed to the higher realms of thought. At a fixed moment, three thousand of them stopped dead in their tracks, with face |turned in the direction where the |Board of Education was assembled, pointed their forefingers mt the recal- citrant budget-spenders, and concen- trated their thought on a preconceived prayer desighed to compel the eree- tion of the new school. The result |was instantaneous, in the adoption of |a resolution authorizing comstruction, |and 1s bound to be heralded asg atri- umph of the mind sweeping awWky ob- stacles. Yet the uninitiated may be it may have been only a case where the School board had had all the bom- bardment it could withstand and took the easiest way out of a bad dilemma. . An Echo from the Past. The death of Solon Chase, farmer |orator of Chase's Mills, removes not only a familiar figure from the local lite of Maine, but also a landmark of devotion to & lost cause. For years |he had been forgotten by the public, |yet thirty years ago he was a national figure, and his passing serves to re- |awaken some of the echoes of the strife of American politics. Solon Chase was a greenbacker of the greenbackers. The west will re- member him as the man who drove a nearly half way across the continent, and stumped the country for the greenback, utilizsing his haywagon as @ rostrum. At that time he was near- ing 60 years, and the homely earnest- ness of the graybeard had much to do pardoned the lingering suspicion that | yoke of oxen from New England | THE BEE with the gains made by the doctrine that he preached. Few of the younger voters of today could give more than a hasy suggestion of what the greenback creed was de- signed to accomplish, so completely |has the party been buried under the successive campalgn waves, but to the {elders there will come recollections of the zealous attempt to prohibit bank note circulation, the relegation of coin, and the establishment of the green- back as the only currency exchang- able on demand for interest-paying bonds. At the height of their career, the greenbackers controlled a popular vote of more than a million, and had fourteen representatives in congress. But the party went the way of many of its predecessors. HEven the names of fits leaders have been forgotten, aside from such presidential nominees as Peter Cooper, James B. Weaver and Benjamin F. Butler; and Solon Chase was one of the few backwoodsmen who clung to the spirit of the party until his death. Billboard Reform. It is a self-evident fact that the bill- board nuisance in Omaha has not only attained gross proportions, but fis steadily spreading and becoming more offensive, The so-called regulation of billboards in Omaha i{s no regulation at all, because it imposes no restric- tions that tend seriously to obstruct or prevent the maintenance of this nuisance. Over in Chicago the Municipal Art league has proclaimed a program for billboard reform of which it will be well for other cities to take notice. The Chicago council is asked to take measures covering the following points: 1. Ta require billboard companies to ob- tain frontage consents as follows: Pro- hibiting the location of any billboard on property frouting on any bouleverd or public park, or in any block of any street, in which two-thirds of the bulldings on both sides of the street in the block are devoted to exclusive residence purposes, unless the consent in writing is obtained from the owners or their agents of a ma. Jority of the frontage fronting or abut- ting on both sides of the street of any block in which such billboard or sign- board is proposed to be erected, and to | flle such written consent with the com- missloner of bulldings before a permit s granted for such erectisa. 2. To prohibit the erection of billboards on the roofs of buildings. 8. To allow the billboard companies to construct billboards sevanteen feet high, as they are now being constructed, This is a very moderate program. The requirement of the consent of ad- jacent property owners liable to be af- fected by the billboard nuisance is a reasonable condition which should ap- ply to billboards wherever they are put, whether in residence or business districts. The roof billboards are like- wise more menacing to safety and more conducive to spread of fire even than the street billboard, and should not be tolerated under any terms. The two-story ' billboard, furthermore, should be high enough without going into the sky-scraper class, and the pro- priety of limiting the helght and dis- tance from the sidewalk is plain. Just because the owners of vacant lots are too devold of enterprise to fmprove them with buildings and can get a few dollars rental from the billboard men 18 no reason why they should be per- mitted freely to disfigure the whole city, and to the detriment of all the neighbors and public generally. Our amiable democratic contem- porary, the World-Herald, s living on the hope that Nebraska republicans |may have a factional cat and dog fight over next year's election, under cover |of which the democrats may sneak into office. The World-Herald practically admits that the omnly chance for the democrats to win In Nebraska lles in republican dissension. But our dem- ocratic friends may be disappointed. The mayor-elect of Indianapolis is facing a complaint before the grand jury charging him with violating the corrupt practices act by promising ap- pointive offices in return for political support. Nebraska has had a corrupt practices law for ten years, yet no one has ever been called to answer under it. The elective officers in Nebraska have been lucky—that's all. /in from would-be census enumerators ;whn would like to help count the pop- ulation of Omaha and of this congres- ;llonll district. The first requisite |should be assurance of ability to do a better job than the school census enu- merators. The defeat of the measure before the Chicago Board of Trade intended |to prevent corners in foodstuffs shows |where that body'stands. The profes- sional speculator always has a corner in his heart for a squeeze, provided its yield is headed toward his own purse. When the national park promoters placard the historic ground at the scene of Washington’s crossing of the Delaware will they please erect a tab- that the {llustrious ferryman stood up in the rowboat all the way?

Our exemption hitherto from forelgn war, an Increasing prospect of the eontinuance of that exemption, the great degree of inter- national tranquality wo have enjoyed, the recent confirmation of that tranquility by the suppression of an Insurrection which #0 wantonly threatened it, the happy course of our public affairs, in general, the unex- ampled prosperity of all classes of our cltizens—are cirmustances which pecullarly mark our situation with Indlcations of the divine beneficence toward us. In such a Ftate of things It is fn an especlal manner our duty as a peopls, with devout rev- erence and affectionate gratitude, to ack- nowledge our many and great obligations to Almighty God and to implore Him to continue and confirm the blessing we ex- perience.
