Our schools, col- leges and universities have until very recently been going along each by itself without co-ordination. The edu- cational institutions of the country have yet to have tneir organization perfected as the industrial, financlal | and other social and economic forces | have been organized to prevent waste, duplication and inefficiency. When our educational forces are harnessed to work together and pull in the same direction there will be almost no limit to their possible accomplishments. Romance of the Bible. None of the strange or romantic stories between Genesis and Revela- tions is to be compared with the story of the Bible itself, of its translation| and circulation and its dynamic force| in the world of literature. It came| down through a labyrinth of lan- guages, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin and Anglo-Saxon and encountered foes to its existence at every turn in his- tory. Tyndall, the father of the open Bible, was burned at the stake and his books destroyed, but the attempt to stamp out the Holy Scripture but served to stimulate its sprqad until to- day it is literally true lhA the Bible is read from Greenland’s icy mountain to India’s coral strand and holds the world under a more powerful spell than any other piece of literature, With all the societles for ‘the distri- bution of the Bible, Mrs. Russell Sage hag just given the American Bible so- clety a halt million dollars for the publication, contingent upon its rais- ing a“similar sum, for its further dis- semination. This amount is said to be needed to meet the demand for copies of the Bible in foreign lands where |1t is read and preached in a countless number of tongues. Whatever may be our thought as to the divine inspira- tion of the "Bible, it Is the Book of Books, the old that is ever new. Pardon Board. The pardoning of convicts is one of the serious problems in state govern- ment that has not yet been satisfac- torily solved. Some states have reached 'good results through the process of pardon boards, which make it impossible for any one man to exer- cise so large and so grave a power as undoing what courts and a jury have done. If Tennessee had had a pardon | board it would not now be under the ban of public reproach which the action of its governor in pardoning his political ally convicted of murder, has brought upon it, It is inconceiv- able that such excesses on the part of any governor were contemplated in any state where the pardoning power exists, but the existence of a pardon board removes the possibility for such an outrage. Minnesota has a pardon board com- eral and chief justice of the supreme urt and Minnesota has not suffered from many pardon disgraces since this law went into effect. The law is its own defense. Minnesota goes on the theory that unrestricted exercise of the pardon power as is possible in Tennes- see {8 repugnant to the principle of American government. is entirely unsafe to vest such powers ip any in- dividual without safe-guarding their exercise, Nebraska has had experiences that suggest the possibility of improving our pardon laws. We have suffered some gross impositions that might have been avoided by more rigid processes or a pardon board. But an effort has been made in this state to prevent arbi- trary and unwarranted pardons. After the application hak been made and be- fore the governor has passed upon its merits, the law provides that he shall set a date for hearfng not less than three weeks nor more than six from the time of the upplication and that notice of this hearing shall be pub- lished in newspapers for two weeks prior to the hearing. Notice shall be sent personally to the judge before whom the person was convicted, or if that judge is dead, to his successor and to the attorney general. All this, of course, is to afford opportunity for anyone to appear and give cause why the applicant should not be pardoned and in theory at least offers some ad- antage over laws such as must obtain in states like Tennessee, but in the end than he did in the past and belleves we are on the threshold of the best era The saving grace of a na- tion is in the personal character of its citizenship, as he has advocated in all And while this counsel is good, it may as well be admitted that the citizenship of this in history. his European addresses. country is tending toward the very goal to which he points it. The in- dividual amounts to more than he ever He is more independent in his The did. thinking as well as his acting. American youth at college had already begun to do his own thinking even before he received that excellent ad- vice. ‘The industrial and political achievements of the day prove it. The American is an inventor and a pro- ducer; he is rapidly divorcing himself | from the conventionalities of industry, science, literature and even religion and politics, and the probability is on the side of progress rather than re- trogression in this line. The spirit of social discontent is rampant, though held within a restraint of intellectual balance that promises the best results. The leaven of civilization is raising tae standard of national life because it is working through the individual. The people refuse to listen to a Louis pro- clalming, “The state? I am the state.” Knowledge is so thoroughly diffused that, though the demand for it is keener than ever, genuine wisdom and learning are eventually accepted. Woman Extravagant? American women are asked to stgnd up and look sweetly while Prof. Muns- terberg reads them one of his little curtain lectures. This time he ad- dresses the fair ones on the subject of their intemperance, or extravagance, The professorial critic first chides woman for any credit she may claim for a superior geodness in resisting temptations: to which men yield, temptations, which he insists, she never has. But, evidently reflecting upon some possible circumstances that might make mitigation desirable, the professor hastens to add his belief in woman's power to resist just as much as her brothers. What Prof. Munsterberg is especially displeased at is the habits of dress which American women pursue. He does not attempt to disparage the beautifying results of those habits, nor to make invidious comparisons be- tween the women of America and of other countries, but he is depressed over the mere matter of her inordinate lust for dress. This, he says, offsets any expensive habit the man may have, drinking or what not, and con- stitutes the big item in the family pay roll. He denounces it as a waste, such as no other nation would indulge in. It must be by oversight that the professor forbids to add that no other nation is so sbis to indulge in this ex travagance, or that the women of no other nation are so able to make them- selves appenr @8 comely as do American woumien. Without to hold a brief for the $20 hat that should sell for about $10, we mlgm suggest that the American woman's eye for symmetry and harmony is so cultured that she cui gke herself look elegant on & sum which the women of some conspicuous lands would not know how to spend to ad- vantage. the Panamerican Railway. The Panamerican railway system, partly constructed, is boynd to become a tremendous factor in the cqmmer- cial development of the United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico and all the southern republics. - When completed it will form a continuous chain from Alaska to South America, traversing Mexico, Guatemala, Salvador and the Panama/ opening up arteries of trade between the richest agricultural and mineral sections of th¢ world. Sev- eral series of this line are now in use and frejght and passenger traffic is steadily increasing. Those portions of the road, skirting the Mexican fron- tier and reaching on toward Guate- mala and Salvador, are constantly be- ing improved and equipped with addi- tional rolling stock and the work , of completing the system 18 urged on rap- idly. Any attempt to estimate the po- tential advantage of this syste would bo fantastic at best, but it quires no penetrating vision to see that its future is fraught with won- derful possibllities. In freight traffic alone the outlook is astounding. The coftee export trade from Guatemala is | but & single item, and yet in a year that amounts tg 80,000,000 pounds, all shipped by water, This could be wishing | m o 41-;1» for New Orleans on that Panama The uprising of the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico serves to show™that Poor Lo is not entirely certain in his own mind as yet just what are the amenities expected of an American citi- zen. Great advancement has been made in the uplift and civilization of the red man, but much remains to be done before all the aborigines on the Ameri- can continent become tractable mem- bers of society. Some serious problems are to be worked out in perfecting the splendid scheme of the Indian's destiny. One of those problems looks very simple on its face and should give the federal government little worry, That is to en- force respect of the Indian’s rights by the white man. In this very instance in New Mexico the prime cause of de- predation seems to be a white man's encroachment upon Indian possessions, fencing in land which belonged to the Tndians and which the white man knew belonged to the Indian. The Indian of today was born with an inherited belief in the perfidy of the white man and where that belief does not manifest itself in open hos- tility it is because certain white men have succeeded in convineing the In dian of their intention to do him no wrong. That can only be accomplished by deeds and never by treachery or in- Jury. It has required government troops to suppress the Pueblos and if it is proved that they went on the warpath to avenge a real wrong committed by their white neighbors, federal powers should be directad toward the pale face as well. Shackleton. It is nothing less than a sad reflec- tion on the intelligence of the commu- nity that the visit to Omaha of Sir Ernest Shackleton should have en- listed so little interest. The achieve- ment which this young British officer has to his credit as a Polar explorer is not only unique in history, but it has | been conceded without the slightest | or of his actual penetration to within almost sight of the South Pole. If| some fakir like Dr. Cook, or some up lift muckraker, had appeared among| us to sing his own praises and run down everyone else, the community might have turned out en masse, but | it indifferently neglected its oppor- tunity to pay a deserved tribute to a real explorer who has carried the ban ner of science and civilization into new and untrodden paths. Omaha has plenty of intelligent and knowledge- | geeking people, but they will have to wake up or Omaha will be cut off the list of places which dietinguished scientists and public men think worth while visiting. !

After President Taft and the repub- lican majority in congress shall have enacted the measures which the people are demanding we may expect to hear something in the nature of a post seript from “Mr. Bryan about stealing some more of his clothes, The chief fear from which the dem- ocrats at Washington now suffer is that the republicans in congress will get together and put through the pro- gram of reform legislation which Pres- ident Taft has recommended. | The latest figures make the money in circulation in the United States $34.87 pecr capita.
