CENEEmremm—— The tumult and the shouting battled in vain against the matchless power of silence. eo—————— New York and Indiana have furnished a num- ber of winning combinations in presidential races. eme——— Pa Rourke’s boys have surely done their part to keep Omaha at the front for the last week at any rate. oET— For the first time in a quarter of a century the office sought agd found a man without a person- ally conducted boom. It is evident from the screams of the visitors that Chicago's convention investment proved profitable and some over. N Syme———— No doubt Secretary Pool's intentions are good, but why write a book forecasting the funeral of his party associates? The sixteen thousand Nebraska republicans who wrote in their presidential preference ac- curately sensed the right man for the office. | Maybe by the time the St. Louls convention is over some of the regular attendants will think the Chicago brand of weather wasn't so bad, after all. . Ese——— Over three thousand German newspapers sus- pended publication since the ‘war began. Here is where the sword gives the pen the hoarse hoot. The caravan of humorists, experts, novelists and wise men will now move on to St. Louis, whete it will find the donkey all in order to en- tertain guests, e ——— Those delegate and alternate badges may now be carefully filed away as mementoes of a convention that will long be recalled in history as one of unusual moment. ! p—— ‘Two Villa bandits were disposed of at Colum- bus, N. M., with the usual legal formalities. The . hemp treatment differs from the Mexican brand, but its efficiency is just as good. Spt—— Congress in its eagerness to profit by the lessons of the war should safeguard the navy ‘against the new peril of “low visibility.” That's what got the British tars’ goat on the North Sea. —— When Moses framed his code for the govern- ment of the Children of Israel he provided that certain designated cities should be sanctuary for those who had unwittingly done murder. His idea in this, as in most of the laws he enacted, must have been based on human experience, and it is, therefore, reasonably certain that the thought at least is older than Mnses. ‘At any rate, it persisted long after him, and for ages certain places were safe refuge, once they had been attained by the fleeing offender. Of recent years the thought has been revived, not for the benefit of man, who is left to face the result of his own acts, human justice having come to be tempered somewhat with the quality of mercy, otherwise be said to be outside the pale. Reser- some limitation. More than this, man is beginning to realize protector of the creatures that have been placed below him. It s true this idea is of slow growth, but it is grow- ing, and particularly is it being applied to birds. Along the southern coast of the country, and out the land, districts are re. served wherein bird life is sacred, and is vigor- ously protected from all sorts of marauders, The is demonstrated by the increase many species of which were threat- extinction through man's misunder- ing. ‘A further manifestation of the im- is noted in the general movement for the - of birds in the cities, especially that in some sense he is elsewhere through value of g the present season. that worthy work deserves. but for the lesser of God's creatures, who may . vations on which all sorts of animals are exempt from man's pursuit exist, while extinction has been held back, if not entirely checked, by the _application of laws that afford protection during certain seagons.

Fontenelle forest (which be called Childs forest) is to be birds, for their uses, and for the f man in such ways as will not dis- tenants to the extent of driv- The wood will be dedicated to special ceremony this week, should secure it the Hughes for President. The choice of Charles Evans Hughes by the republican convention as candidate for president of the United States had been so convincingly foreshadowed that no surprise is felt at the out- come. From the time his name was suggested the drift of sentiment toward him was steady, and in the final weeks before the meeting of the convention it was irresistible. None of the as- | pirants for ihé officc was able to make any ap- | preciable headway against the continually grow- ing demand of the party for Hughes. While the nominee at no time took any action that might be construed as even remotely secking the office, he would be more than human were he not sensi- ble of the expression of faith in his character and confidence in his ability shown by the request from his fellow citizens that he become a candi- date for the presidency. The final ballot in the convention set ity seal of full approval on the choice of the voters. Mr. Hughes will go before the electroate with a record of service that is notable. As a member of the New York legislature, and as governor of New York, he was en_ergeti: in the work of bet- tering the government of the Empire state, and showed then untiring zeal and energy and splendid capacity for dealing with public affairs. His years on the supreme bench have served to ripen his intellect and mature his judgment and to more fully prepare him for the great work that is before him. His unblemished character and unusual mentality will qualify him in every regard as an ideal candidate for president. His personality will appeal not alone to the republicans, who will be solid behind him, but to democrats who are weary of the mistakes and bickerings of their incapable leaders, and to the far greater proportion of the progressives, who have found that the chief difference between their party and the republican party is in an in- dividual and not in principles, Hughes' election now seems as certain as did his nomination at the bginni-g of last week. It only awaits the fullness of time. SESeTp—— Patriotism and the Flag Parade. On Wednesday Omaha is to be asked to make a demonstration in honor of the American flag. That day has been proclaimed by the president of the United States as a particular time for the display of the flag, and such exercises as may fittingly mark the occasion in keeping with the spirit that has prompted the action. It is not, as is suggested by some of the ultra-pacifists, in the interest of any propaganda for preparedness, for the benefit of any especial interest, or to serve any personal or sinister motive. It is purely and wholly for the purpose of reawaken- ing a better sense of devotion to the flag and to what it represents. It is not a pleasant thought that many Amer- icans have allowed themselves to be lulled into that state of mind , wherein the flag is of no greater significance to them than as representing a government under which they live in ease and comfort, secure in the immediate present, forget- ting entirely the past while taking no thought for the future, Such Americans are honest enough, and sincerely loyal, when put to the test, but their indifference is disheartening. They -are of that great class of citizens who say it doesn't matter who is elected president; safely housed, comfortably clad and fully fed, these exist solely for themselves, and reckon the call of citizenship in' any form as a disturbance of their comfort. They need to be jarred out of thelr selfish sluggishness; they must come to know that patriotism is the first duty of a citizen a8 well as the last refuge of a rascal. They owe something to the country in which they live, and that debt cannot be discharged by the mere liy- ing. Some service must be rendered in compen- sation for the benefits they so willingly accept. It is not necessary on one day to march be- hind the flag in order to show that one is de- voted to it every day. But it is good that one take advantage of this day to acknowledge that sense of obligation every honest American must feel for the flag that s the lving symbol of his "government, of which he is a part, and to which he owes finally all that he has and all that he is. If you can't march on Wednesday, don't decry those who do. Will They Stand the Test? Americans who have made their homes in England are about to have the firal test applied to their devotion to one or the other of the countries as a place in which to live, The Eng- lish government has determined to levy an addi- tional tax of 10 per cent on all Americans domi- ciled in Great Britain, applying to such of their income as is derived from American securities. To avoid this impost the American may deposit his Yankee dollar securities with the British government and get in return credit in pounds, shillings and pence. This goes for all he has, whether in England or America. He will be paid the interest, but not in 100-cent American dollars, but in the sadly depreciated pound aterl- ing. His alternative is to come back to the United States and spend his time among the common people. If he wants to rub shoulders with the nobility he must pay for the privilege, for Johnny Bull is determined to bring his money back to par with Uncle Sam's if he can, and doesn’t now see any more pleasant way of doing it than by making the Yankees pay for the process. ey Mr. Bryan as a Pacifist. William Jennings Bryan is wholly devoted to peace on earth, no matter how it be attained. He does not go quite so far in the matter of good will to men, at least not on all occasions. Yet at the Chicago conventions Mr. Bryan finds his delight not in the sober and orderly pro- ceedings of the republicans, who met with a dis- tinct purpose and a decent determination to carry that purpose into action, These men he characterized as cold and lacking in enthusiasm, and turned for his comfort to the Auditorium, where the fiery bull moogers pawed and snorted in rampageous effort. When “Vic” Murdock or some similarly gifted orator raises a whoop of defiance, Mr, Bryan finds in it occasion for de- light, although it means anything but peace, It may be that now, as four years ago, Mr. Bryan is absorbing in Chicago inspiration for the course he expects to adopt when the democrats get to- gether, but‘he is making a mighty poor record for himself as a pacifist by demanding continual disorder as a sign of earnest intention. + EEE——— lowa anti-suffragists express much admiration for the figures of the majority—4,654 votes. The losers console themselves with the thought that these are the only figures worth while the oppo- sition possesses. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE 11, 1916. Reform in Legal Training 'New York Journal of Commerce.™ Since the confirmation by the United States senate of the appointment of Mr. Brandeis to the supreme court is an accomplished fact, it is time for personal rancor and partisan clamor to cease. On the other hand, there is one phase of the con- troversy that should be clearly understood by the public. It explains the reason for the ardent support he received from more or less radical elements of our people, who saw in his appoint- ment an entering wedge by means of which “the citadel of vested selfish ~interests” as they wrongly term the supreme court of the United States, might be entered and the “bulwark of the propertied classes” be overthrown. 3 hether they are right in this or not, is a question which the future alone will decide; but this is a time for the thoughtful people of the country, who are progressive, yet conservative, to realize that there is a measure of truth in the contention that our judges, both federal and state, are too much occupied with the law and precedents of the past. That they do not sym- pathize with the changing, advancing life of to- day, which means progress, and that they fail to understand the need of bridging over with new law or the interpretation of law what Sir Henry Sumner Maine once called the ever-gecurgmr chasm between existing law and advancing civil- ization, That is to say, they would hold’ back the forces of progress by the legal chains of the ast rather than forge new bonds of social and Jjudicial control which are adapted to restrain these new forces to the paths of orderly and reasonable development. As is usual with tho.e people who advocate radical opinions, they have taken an element of truth which applies to the ultra-conservatism of some of our judges and stretched its meaning to such an extent that it becomes utterly false in final statement. They charge that both federal and state judges are biased, narrow and busied mainly in protecting the powerful against the weak. For this reason these radicals wildly endorsed Mr. Brandeis as a prospective supreme court justice, because they had the idea that he would prove antagonistic to formal law and pre- cedent and his tendencies would be favorable to their views of property, government and society in gen.er 5 t is important that this ultra-conservatism of our judges should be recognized and measures taken to remedy the defect by common sense, conservative means, rather than by such utterly vicious nostrums as the recall of judges or of judicial decisions or the extension of the unfor- tunate system o{{pnpulnr election of the judiciary. Prof. James T, Young of the University of Penn- l{lvania recently summed up the reasons for this ultra-conservatism by saying: “The legal train- ing of the {udxe from the time he starts out as a practicing lawyer is such as to attract his atten- tion to the sacredness of property; his mind is chieflly occupied with the means of upholding property rights. In examining the historical reasons for our existing law he is inclined to look upon the past with greater care than upon the natural growth of the law. As a result his whole professional education makes him ntensely con- servative unless by temperament his natural in- stinct favors progressive changes.” It is only natural that a lawyer’s legal educa- tion and the practice of his profession should mold his habit of mind, and the same is true of the business man, the physician, the teacher or the minister. It is equally true of the laboring man and the unskilled workman, What an in- dividual habitually does from day to day, whether the individual be a man or a woman, inevitably will influence and color the whole course of that erson’s mind and life, It s necessary, there- ore, to guard against this tendency on the part of judges by so changing the education of the hwzcu that they will start with a broader out- look on life and a clearer understanding of its needs and goulblliliel. Without this under- standing and sympathy it will be impossible for them to take a position In respect to the various problems that come before them for adjudica- tion which shall be absolutely without a shade of prejudice or bias and fair to all the interests concerne . The bar examinations of our various states froleu to go beyond the mere requirements of egal principle, but not always with success. Re- cently in & nearby state a young man, supposedly prepared to pass these examinations, was asked the question in history, “Who was the father of ucen Victoria?” He promptly replied, “Henry nI'IvI'.e 4 ‘I‘.l-llet h:i lpuloslch] ‘%r Kll failure to [ e question correct! saying that he ‘had not looked into his English ’;flstg‘ry‘lof tl:r‘ele weeks.” Not only should the tests in history and other subjects be made more severe, but also, as Prof, Young further says, “Since the judge is firet a lawyer, it Is the education of the lawyer which must be made to include a’ knowledge of the causes .and nature of social and economic growth.” The same idea has been Adams in the remark that tight lines * * » stressed by Brooks “Legal training on should direct the student to the great forces of social life, movement and change which cause the declsions of the courts and acts of the legislature,” If these needs in the training of our lawyers were recognized by the legal profession at large and the reforms be made by its members, and from within, there would be little ground left for the heedless and radical agitators who use the grejudim of their auditors as a convenient means for attacking our judiciary, Twice Told Tales Liite Tommins hed & oy oy e Tommy had a very pret ister, sister had a very devoted -ydgnlrt:z .(; H when the devoted admirer was sitting in the parlor wnitiaT for sister to appear he was ap- proached by little Tommy. “Say, Mr. Smith,” rather pointedly queried the youn l‘:er,'l'_‘do yol; love Sll:ter Jenny?" y, Tommy!"” was the am: the blushing Mr.y Smith, “Why.;:d;:l:p‘::lzen?e’ a question like that?” “Because,” was the quick rejoinder of the youngster, “she said last nldght that she would give §5 to know, and I néed the money."—Chi- cago Herald. Thirty Years Ago This Day in Omaha Compiled From Bee Files. Charles F. Bankes, F, Weinhagen and Adolph Brandes have bought out the Post and Telegraph and will continue to run it. The efforts that Lininger & Metcalf have made in the direction of supplying the people of Omaha with a good class of buggies at reason- able prices. are being duly appreciated. Their buggy trade is rapidly increasing every day. The Omaha Lawn Tennis club is the name of a new onxnniution, of which C, Collins is presi- dent, C. A. Howe, secretary, and Charles Wilson, treasurer, Its grounds are. on Eighteenth and Chicago streets. Ex-Councilman Thrane has given Mr. Hold- rege of the Burlington & Missouri River railroad, notice that if the track of that road, which now lies upon his lot on Sixth street, is not removed in two days, he will fence in his property and seize nn{mxron or ties which he may find there at that time.

A big bull moose held up the St. John cxpress near Bangor, Me., the other day and escaped with slight injuries. A locomotive seems less dangerous than a steam roller. There may be no relationship between po- litical excitement and matrimony, but they pulled together in Chicago last week. More |, marriage licenses were issued than in any previous eix days of June. Rodney, a faithful army horse with a rec- ord of twenty years' service, which began at Fort Riley, has been formally retired and pensioned for life at Fort Myer. Through long service he gained a reputation for in- telligence, willingness, strength and all- round ability. He was never sick and never known to kick on the job. An unexpected effort to push Cincinnati ahead of Chicago as an expounder of femi- nine fashions proved a shocking failure. The moving model of the very latest short cut made the mistake of appearing down town egalia. The scenery caused g trafc and a hurry call for police to rescue the sockless damsel. Speaking of political grips, there are no fly specks on the record of Charley Gilman of 8t Cloud, Minn. He is running at his customary pace for state senator, a term which will round out a full half century of legislative life, begun in 1868, and includ- two as lieutenant governor. slons of Gilman's grip may be had on ap- plication. The joy sof life would become monoto- nous were the joykillers extinct. A doctor breaks into print with the solemn assertion that the golfer’s foot is the most dangerous of modern life's hazards. It ranks with the bicycle bunion of other days, the limousine hookworm and the speed maniac's mental vacancies, The nature of the golfer’s peril is swathed in medical terms, which indicates sufficlent gravity to warrant s hurry call for a doctor. Y Measured by the standard of good deeds, Rev. Timothy Dempsey takes rank among the first citlzens of 8t. Louis.’ “Father s he is familiarly called, is pastor of s church. Material helpfulne orely in need of help and e souragement feature his notable welfare work. He operates a boarding house for the down-and-outers, a day refuge for children whose mothers work for a living, and dis- penses charity and cheer with a liberality that takes no account of financial deficits. Moreover, his integrity, fairness and judg- ment are in constant demand for the settle- ment of labor disputes, his score this year being seven strikes eatisfactorily settled. “Father Tim” celebrates his silver jubiles next Thursday, and it is going to be s big event in Bt. Louls. OUT OF THE ORDINARY. Richard Harmon, a civil war veteran, of Fort Fairfield, Me., has three chairs that were made in 1816 in New Brunswick. The chairs are made of pine, which is nearly three inches thick on the seats, and are well preserved. As a party of motorists were about to be arrested in Ypsilanti, Mich., for not hav- ing a license tag on the rear of their car a collie dog ran up to them carrying the tag, which had previously dropped off and been picked up by him. The third “sontract” marriage in the. history of New York City has recently been performed. Miss Freds Kirchway, daughter of the Bing Sing warden, being one of the parties to flle & nuptial agreement in leu of having & ceremony performed. A man living in Hartford, Conn., put some corn on the ground near his home to feed four Hungarian pertridges, but they would not approach it. Bome crows found the corn and after eating all they wanted coaxed the partridges to come and get some, too. Compressed air in addition to its great utllity for driving machinery has been found to be the best of all means far cleaning. It is being used in machine shops and factories of all kinds, the textile mills finding it ex- ceptionally good for clesning lint. The Archaeclogical Institute of Ameriea now has a branch at Banta Fe, N. M., and holds yearly sessions in the southwest, its chief work there being over the ruins and remains of cliff and other prehistoric dwell- ers, on whom & great mass of highly inter- esting data is being accumulated. Last sutumn some of the farmers of Litchfleld and southern Berkshire county, in Connecticut, left thelr potatoes in the hills, declaring it did not pay to dig them. During the winter tubers advanced to $1.40 or more a bushel, and those who left the potatoes undug harvested last season's crop this spring. A valuable relie of the clvil war will be idded to the collestion in the state museum at Augusta, Me., in the form of a flag made from the shirts of the soldiers and sailors held as prisoners of war at Sallsbury, N.

At an interlocking switch near Winona, Wis,, & freight train was using the switch and had just cleared the crossing when a BSt. Paul freight crashed through the derail.

Emporia, Kan., publiely admits that the Joy of living will not be complete until a workhouse {s added to its social equipment. An increasing number of hoboes visiting town urgently appeal for the hospitality and seclusion of a workhouse. The death rate among Bt.

Beveral Kansas towns, following the ex- ample of Manhattan, are dligently digging dandelion roots and marketing them at 15 cents a pound. Scarcity of crude drugs creates a demand for the dandelion and other weeds as & medicinal “something just as good.” New York's Buresu of Pure Foods, with its corps of inspectors, elaims to have put sters for $80,000 in fines, and Yorkers are now reduced 760 for 1918 to the consent of Iatter body has an order requiring the its action oET SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Boston Globe: Now that the Methodists are to raise a $10,000,000 pension fund for retired ministers, following the lead of the FEpiscopalisns in raising $5,000,000 for the same purpose, will there be an increase in the number of the students entering the divinity schools? Springfield Republican: The Presbyterian general assembly has hardly made progress toward the rehabilitation of the Sabbath by adopting a resolution urging colleges and schools to abolish Monday morning sessions. The purpose is to relieve students of the necessity of preparing lessons on Sundsy, but its effect would probably be to add to the student's opportunities for Sabbath rec- reation. If the Presbyterians can change the attitude of Americans toward the Sab- bath, questions about proper recreation and proper work will take care of themeelves. Baltimore American: Let the churches be kept open and not have the seal of silence placed upon portals that should continually witness to the living an ever-expressive mes. sage of the divine.

But let the dynamos of religlon sustain their generation of power and influence durifig the months when, sfter all, there are few Sunda chureh-going a resl dis! mon experience that abou coolest place upon a hot Sunday is the church that has been kept closed and darkened for days. Church Pension Bulletin: The half-way point has been passed in the campaign to raise the reserve necessary to start the pensfon fund of the Episcopal church. Bishop Lawrence made this announcement at hio dinner on May 16. An initial re- fund to supplement the annual ss- ments s necessary for a thoroughly sound pension system. The 6,000 clergy of the church require the church pension fund reserve to be at least $5,000,000. The cam- paign to raise this amount, which was or- ganized on January 1 of this year, will close on Mparch 1, 1917. On that day the entire $5,000,000 must be subscribed and the pen- sion system will start. The whole church therefore regard: satisfaction the com- pletion of half 3 BRIEF BITS OF SCIENCE, European bacteriologists think they have discovered the bacillus of whooping cough.
