It is this lesson to which we should turn when the motive of selfishness or one- sided statesmanship prompts a restric- | the citizens or subjects of these coun- | tries whoe may want to come and cast | their fortumes in the United States, it | can never afford to turn its back upon | the solemn fact tnat its independence was not all of its own making, but that volunteers from other lands had a very large share in procuring its bless to distant shores to offer their lives in an effort to help win liberty for an cther people | It is not ours, therefore, to say that | the descendants of these patriots and heroes, martyrs, indeed, shall not come | to America to share in the enjoyment of the blessings of a republic that owes 80 much for its existence to these Eu- ropean soldiers. They offered the price of their lives for what we now have today. In the main the United States has always maintained a fair immigration policy, but now and then some senti- ment arises against the so-called “flood of foreigners,” and it is this sentiment that needs the restraining and enlight- ening influence of such speeches as the president and secretary of war made. Aside from the moral obligation, however, the United States owes it to its commercial and industrial develop- ment to bid these people come The Lesson of the Airship, Paulhan sailed safely across 'the English channel, but his British con- testant ignominously failed. Two American aeronauts make a thrilling flight of 400 miles at a maximum alti- tude of more than 20,000 feet, but come to the earth at last in a helpless heap. ‘We - applaud the - navigator when by dint of propitious circum- stances he manages to scale the invis- ible walls of space and jump to the conclusion that at last it has come— practical air traffic. Occasional tem- porary guccesses w=a call scientific tri- umphs, forgetting in our zeal the thousands of failures. The forces of nature are still su- |preme and unconquered, though the war for conquest rages. Man, though he perceives in these . fruitless at- tempts his puerility as against the ma- Jesty of nature, is not giving up, but matching an indomitable will in a ceaseless struggle with nature's un- seen powers to solve her mysteries and harness the solution with the in- | genuity of his success, just as he has done already In so many other fields of scientific research, to some slight extent, anyway. Infinity never un- folds its secrets to the finite, but man by patient perseverance comes at times to understand what to him scems to be some of the occult mys- teries of nature and turn them to prac- tical use. So every life sacrificed to the attempt at aerial navigation is spent in a righteous cause, th: cause of human progress and Intellectual emancipation. It is oniy when we look upon this series or effors at fly- ing through space that it will be possi- ble for us fully to appreciate the mean- ing to mankind and to the world. Along with the object lesson of the | comparative weakness of mon we are | | discovering, too, his undying devotion m science, his insatiable {hirst *for | ,‘kuow]edge and his spirit of ‘conquest. Nature with all her might and my tery daunts him tot a bit: it only in- spires him with nobler aim. What is the peril of the air to him if in the wake of his futile effort another “f grope his way to success? The Jeremiad of Judson. | With all respect to his profession aud position, President Judson of the Chicago university has invited the se- verest criticism by his fulminations | x:gainm the present as the most cor- | rupt and degenerate age in history with two exceptions, that preceding the fall of tae Romau republic and the period of the French revolution. Pres- | 1dent Judson has put nimself down as a pessimist and alarmist. | He cites four elements of degen- eracy to prove his point that this is a decadent age: War, dishonesty, drunkenness and social vice. He placed his weakest argument first, | though evidently counting it his (strongest. It is scarcely necessary to do more than mention The Hague | tribunal and the present effort of civ- | more than is dishonesty, ilized nations to come to an agreement upon the terms of an International Court of Arbitration and the limitation of armaments as the uitimate means of preventing war. The fact Is this is the most peaceful age in history, and the age in which more is belng done to promote world peace. The man who Lcannot see in the large army and pow- BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1910, erful navy a deterrent instead of an irritant forca cannot see the ceatral truth As to dishonesty, if there is more today than ever before it probably is because the’ world is so much larger and the aggregate of humanity is so much greater than it ever was, but as a matter of fact unless our combined resources of moral uplift form one gigantic fraud, dishonesty, too, is on the decline, in private life and public. Drunkenness is not more general, no but far less common. The temperance of this age is onme of its dominant characteristics. Righteousness, if one may rely upon s0 practical a thing as statistics, is very much more general today than it ever was, The fact is the world looks better, is better to men and women who are better and who are trying to make it better. It may not be possible to get an accurate view of this age now, for no age can draw a true pic- ture of itself, but it is possible to see, if one will look with undimmed faith in humanity and the clear vision of an optimist, that the trend of the present day {s toward a higher goal. A Chance for Croesus. One of the unfortunate omissions of history is the failure to record the subsequent conduct of Croesus after his dumb son had spoken. The miracle of the gift of speech to the boy in time to save his kingly father from the Persian myrmidon was suf- ficiently remarkable to warrant pres- ervation in record for all time. But it would have been quite as important to have set down what Croesus did afterward. Did he reform his con- duct, or did he pursue the same policy of greed and rapacity for conquest that has marked him as #ts object for all time? Mr. George A. Post very ably and adroitly presents the case of the rail- roads, and with apparent frankness admits that he and his associates have a selfish interest in bringing about the condition he proposes. He urges on the people that they deal more patiently with the railroads; that the legislators of the country be more considerate in their enactments, and that restrictions placed on railroad management be made lighter and less binding. On the other hand, he sug- gests that railroad managers pay more attention to public outery. The general tone of Mr., Post's ad- dresq 1s pacificatory, but it lacks.the one essential assurance that the rail- roads themselves will undertake to correct the abuses the public has suf- fered from. It is unworthy of Mr. Post, or of any other thinking man, to suggest that the restrictive laws that have been passed were enacted in a retaliatory spirit. Mistakes have been made, but they have beenwmadc through ignorarice rather than through intentjon. The people have «#lways dealt more than fairly with the rail- roads, and they have borne with un- worthy patierice many outrageous bur- dens placed upon them by the trans- portation companies. The experience of the west especially has been that the railroads have always exploited the country. Nebraskans were as- sured on one occasion by the general manager of a great railroad system that his efforts were in the interest of his stockholders. Within a fortnight a general advance in rates has been made by the great railroad systems of || the country, and further advances are threatened. The privilege of levying a tax on the people has long been en- joyed by the raflroads ard is now being worked to its utmost. Croesus has a fine opportunity to show that he, too, has heard what his dumb son has to say. Save the Tariff Board. The house is now completing its action on the civil sundry appropria- tions bill, which carries the item of $250,000 to enable the tariff board to pursue its work investigating tariff sit. uations abroad, and the hope of every man who {8 seriously interested in a final and fruitful adjustment of the tariff must be that the house will let this provision remain in the bill. The tariff board needs no further evidence or experiment to justify its existence and defend the request for this or| other reasonable appropriation. It is enough to repeat that under its influ- ence from 50 to 60 per cent of the| American goods shipped abroad are be- | ing admitted to foreign markets free of duty and that nine-tenths of those paying a tax are being admitted under | the minimum. This was brought about through the agency of the tariff board, backed by the power of thie max- | ifmum and minimum clause of the tariff law, which Prasldem Taft forced | into it. Chairman H. C. Emery of the tariff board has just left for Rurope and |« other members will follow soon to| study the work of similar boards in | foreign countries as a means of en abling the American board to perfect | its usefulness. If by any move con gress should fail to approve of this item in the civil sundry appropriations measure, the action would have a very disastrous effect upon the future bene fits to bBe derived under this tariff| board. The appropriation is made by the president and, as he has evidently obtained promises of enough support to carry through his legislative pro- gram, (Were is substantial hope that| this item will not be defeated.

But this grief will b«l borne with whatever patience it may and the Omaha republicans will con- tinue to work for party harmony and | success, always sustainéd by the hope | that the coterie mentioned will not | deliberately reject any plums that may | come to them in the event of the elec- tion of the republican ticket next fall The patriotic citizens of Cody were doubtless justified in their indignation | against the bumptious Britisher who | aroused them, but when he gets his suit for damages filed and the state of Nebraska makes settlement with the government of George V, it will proba- bly dawn on those enthusiastic de- fenders of the flag that Old Glory has never yet suffered because of the mouthings of a drunken man, while international law provides, among other things, for freedom of speech. So President Taft has Colonel Roosevelt to an office. appointed Turn about is fair play.

President’s' Tariff Board Ordered to Investigate and Renort, New York Evening Post When congress appropriated #5000 last year for the president's tariff board, it buflded better than it knew. The tarif board last year was not meant to be taken very seriously; its powers were not defined; | the renewal of the appropriation was not guaranteed; the thing was sporadic, extra- legal, and a sop. But within a year a change has come over the spirit of the dream. The tarlff, instead of an issue put to sleep, is an Issue more alive than ever, and the leaders In congress, sobered and instructed by the experiences of the Ilfl few months, have learned that the time | has come to bend before the storm or go| down. It was a case of bending before the storm when the house appropriated $250,000 for the expenses of the president's tariff | board, conferring upon it at the same time extensive powers of study and Investiga- tion, at home and abroad. We are thus brought measurably nearer to that es- sential factor In any real revision of the to supply the groundwork of knowledge and fact upon | which congress might base its action. It | means a terrible wrench with the past, a| momentous departure from the time-hon- | red system of tarlff making by co-pper- ative plunder. Yet in that direction point | the signs of the times. for, while Dolliver is now an lowan, he : was born in West Virginia and reared Our Blrthday BOOk there. He is intimately acquainted with | the state and al! its traditions and with many of its people. His father, known as May 183, 1810, | “Father Dolliver,” was for forty years a William G. Langworthy Taylor, professor | Methodist eircuit rider in the mountains of of political economy Nebraska, was born May 13, 189, in New York City.

He was born in Morning Sun, O., and is a graduate of Monmouth college.

Then said Mann: “I suppose the gentle- man means to limit the limitation of the minor children during the minority of the children.” Limiting a limitation is perhaps going some, but that's what Mann said. Whereupon Howland: “‘Well, they will not be minors after they become adults. But Mann wanted that set forth, and the amendment was again moditied and again read. The amendment then was as follows: “To the widows during widow- hood, and the minor children during - nority.” Mann being satisfied that. there .was no loophole in the clause, the amendment was adopted. ; The versatile John Barrett turned a trick the other day that must have made the publishers of the big monthly magazines eyes with surprise. Bar- rett is the head of the bureau of American republics and each month he gets out an fllustrated magazine of several hundred pages. Last Tuesday the new million-dol- lar building of the bureau was dedicated. President Taft, Mr. Carnegle, Senator Root and other notables were there and made speeches. The next morning the big men who had taken part in the affair were astounded to recelve coples of the May number of the bureau's magazine containing & complete account of the dedi- cation ceremonies, the speeches in full and photographs taken on the spot. The maga- zine was complete in every respect, fully bound and stitched and the photographs done in tints. It was a remarkable bit of hustling. The magazine proprietors usually insist on hav. ing their copy In the office three weeks before the day of publication. Barrett's magazine was printed at the government printing office. The Smithsonian Institution has received the dig dig killed by ex-President Roose- velt, to the great gratification of Director Walcott. It came by express.
