a statt;s "ITkst citi.i:." It is something new in the annal of fame when an entomologist is singled out as the most distinguished citizen of a grat commonwealth. .Such a fat has suddenly befallen I'Tof. Liwrcnco liruntr of the university of Nebraska. This unassuming- scientist was chosen by a special eommlttcoMpIolnted by the Kovfrnor. The committee wa3 composed of typical Nebraskans, who are a hi:.' d-headed, practical people, and who know that in that state agriculture is more important than anything else, and that the man who does the most for the crops is the state's greatest benefactor. Ho the "bun hnntcr" won against the writers, orators and oilice holders. "Political fame," said a member of the committee, "is a bubble. We wanted a man of true and lasting distinction, based on creative achievement." It would be impossible to estimate the millions of dollars that Prof. I1runr has s;ivp1 Nebrabka and other states and other countries. When the voracious 'chinch bug was destroying t crop like an Kgyptian pague, tho professor searched through the Insect creation until he found a parasitethat preyed pon the cinch, and by introducing- it into the held- he saved the crops that year and taught everybody how to save them thereafter. When the wheat crop of Argentina was bclns: eater, up by locus:ts in 18S3, the government sent for Hruner, and he went there and saved the crop, and fought the locusts so effectively thai, they have never bothered the country since. These arc merely two examples of what Prof. Hruner has been doing for many years. He is credited with the no less valuable work of training a whole generation of Nebraska youth in the gospel of modern scientific farming, and raising up hundreds of men to carry on his: work. Public opinion nearly everywhere is likrdy to support such a choice, just as public opinion is almost unanimous in pronouncing Thomas A. Kdison the first citizen of the United States. It is the creative, productive work that counts most the work that adds to the sum of wealth, that makes the necessities and comforts of life more easily obtainable, that lessens the amount of effort required to obtain results, and leaves people with more leisure and energy for the real enjoyments of life. With an elficient, prosperous people, everything in the way of "higher development" follows as a matter of course. CHIMlSi; "SALYATKKV." It is Japan's day in Asia out perhaps China's day will come. Such, at any rate, is the faith of millions of Chinese. The best proof vet offered of th? new spirit of China is its "national salvation fund." According to an American correspondent who has been studying he far eastern situation at first hand, this fund, started last sprint, is still growing slowly but steadily. The settlement of the controversy on Japanese terms has made little differencei China yielded, but went riht ahead preparing for a time when perhaps she will not have to .jebl. ,he is patient, and can wait on. The fund now amounts to more than M.OOO.OOrt. This is a small amount, considering the vast sums required nowadays for national undertakings. Hut its importance lies in the fact that nore than 2,000. OOo Chinese have coniributed to it. The gilts are made by .lien of all clashes and Occupations, mostly by those to whom two dollar? s as much as one hundred dollar vould Do to an American workman. Year after year, ft is expected, that "utul will continue to grow. Kventually .t is to be used to build forts, arsenals, oattlcships, iron works, strategic railroads etc. all the panoply of modern a arfare. l-et us hope that by the time the fund :s to be expended it will not be considered necessary or advisable to squander it on war. When Cnina has Jerome strong cnoi:gh to defeat her ntl'tarist neighbor, militarism should True vanished from the world. It A'vuKl le a pity Indeed, and a menace o future civilization, if the burden af armament were unslipped from the shoulders of Kurope, only to be taken Jp by AM a. china, old. patient and wise, the Miirin.fi p:u iiist nation, may find that ifter all her inborn preference for peace is riuht. She may realize that ven today there are forces far more potent than militarism in working out lational destiny, and there are better eengrs and more effective conquests ban those of arms. If she spends her 'salvation fund" in developing her jatural resource.?, spreading enlightenment and intensifying her national pirit. she will find the surest way to r salvation. v i :i . i .o u st m : 1 1 o i ,i i - u i s.

in their pockets, and all guaranteed to bo without means of self-defense owing to the fact that the government takes away their puns t.efore they are allowed to entr the reservation. Moreover, the place is so wild and ur. f reiuente-d, even near the main traveled roads, that it's easy for a robber to Kct away. The soldiers on duty as park police are, of course, always far from the point chosen for a hold-up, and sometimes are not notified for hours afterward. The ordinary park visitor can't help wondering why the drivers of tho coaches and buses are not permitted to carry arms to protect their passengers. Is it the idea of the authorities that an occasional hold-up is a good thing, because it advertises the park and adds an attractive bit of "wild west" color for the bcnctlt of adventurous eastern tourists? tin: HAitm;it's pi;uiscopi:. From Hadlock Mills, a Maine town so small that you can't even find it on a fair-sized map, comes a trade hunch that ought to be worth money to any barber in any community in tho United States. Sid 'lolbrook, it appears, had had a run of Tierce competition with Silas Harvey for the barber trade of Hadlock Mills. The two had vied in alternate improvements and attractions, running the gamut of new enamel chairs, clean tissue paper covers for the head-rest, rocking-chairs for waiting patrons instead of old wooden settecs, good magazines to replace the month-old sporting sheet and the Police Gazette, phonographs and mechanical banjoes, young alligators and pet monkeys to attract the artistic and curious, and still honors were about even. Then Sid Holbrook had his revolutionary idea. What was it, he n.sked himself, that a man desires most, while leaning back in a barber's chair? He yearns to see outside Just because he can't. Forced to stare up at an uninteresting ceiling, he wonders what is going on in the street, and all the barber's glib chatter can't compensate for the defect. Hut how could it be done? Simplest thing in the world. id had read about the periscope, by which the captain of a submarine sees what is going on all around while he is safely submerged. The soldiers, too, he knew, use it in the trenches, to look at the enemy without exposing their heads to rifle fire. So Sid installed ubove his barber's chair, a tin pipe rumiing up through the roof, with a mirror combination in it that enables a patron, while having his beard removed, to gaze at ease on the busy life of Hadlock Mills' Main st. And the way the citizens are flocking to Sid's barber shop is a caution. Periscopes for barber shops! It's the last word. Who'll be the first to install them here? GKItMANY OUT OF IT. Hy tho decisive victory of the Knglish forces u.nder Gen. Botha in German Southwest Africa, and the surrender of its army of defenders, Germany loses territory larger than ill its possessions in Europe. Southwest Africa, acquired by Germany in April, 1 h S 4 . embraces 835,100 square kilometers of land. Sections of it are very rich in minerals and in timber. Copper ami iron ores exist in tremendous quantities. The cattle industry is the leading trade but of late ears irrigated agriculture has been taken up most advantageously. Several railroads traverse the country and there are land telegraph lines and postal facilities. Under German rule there has been a healthy and remarkably rapid development of German Southwest Africa and it i.s generally considered to be the most advanced section of Africa. The present value in dollars and cents of this vast territory can hardly be computed hut doubtless it is e.isily sufficient to pay the greater portion of England's war bill, if she retains It. fooling with rim:. Washington dispatehes intimate that it is proposed to drop the prosecution of Huerta. provided he agrees to live in the northern part of this country and quit conspiring. Madero is in his grave through having temporized with Huerta. and Uncle Sam's investment of money and time in looking after Huerta is most foolish waste, based largely upon sickly sentiment. Huerta is an "undesirable" if ..here ever was one. Kick him out of the country, as any other "undesirable" would be kicked. a nut: oittion. A Smith. Ui., man charges his family physician with haing operated on him for appendicitis and with then using the removed appendix for fish bait, with which he caught a fourpound trout. Isaac Walton is quoted as having said that it is entirely ethical to swipe worms from another fellou-'c can if you are out of halt yourself but it looks to us as if this Smith doctor was over-enthusiastic. my rate,

if he's a gentleman, he'll hand over that trout to his patient. a to i Orn.ooK. Herlin reports that, during May and Juno, tho derrnans captured 4M.00O Kussians. At this rate, it is not a matter of "staring out Germany" but one of Germany's bing eaten out of houc and homo by her boarders.

"Have Women Come to Stay?" is the caption placed by a New York editorial writer over a discussion of the entrance of women into Kussian munitions factories and their unexpected efficiency there. We don't know much about the Russian muni-ftion-making ladies, but we must say any time the women decide not to stay in our part of the country, we hope we may move to a better land! It is suggested that if Germany persists in refusing to make amends for murdering the Americans on the Eusitania, and deliberately drives us to extreme measures, there is a simple and easy way of forcing reparation. There are about $100,000,000 worth of German steamships lying in American harbors. We could seize and sell them, and compensate the families of the victims with the proceeds. Nearly 20,000 former inmates of Hritish reformatories have joined the British army since the war started, and almost without exception have made useful and honorable soldiers. When "enemies of society" return so readily to the defense of society, it must be admitted either that they were not really bad after all, or that war has a powerful reformative tendency in such cases. And after several barbers have installed periscopes by means of which barbered citizens may view the moving traftio outside, who will be the barber to set up a moving picture outfit which throws the modern drama upon tho ceiling? Mildred Meister. of Orono, Me., retired one night and didn't wake up for 8 4 hours. She was the hired girl. We've know 'em who haven't really waked up for S4 days. They'll dig into Holt's career far enough to prove that "a diseased mind" will do for some time in a college faculty, if they don't watch out. In Paraguay cockroaches often eat off people's eyelashes and toe nails, at night JC 5)jC 5 1" WHAT THE PAPERS SAY J 5 jc 5jC f ?f J 5j J f 54 tiii: Fi:ii:itAL iu:si:nvi; systkm. (San Francisco Chronicle.) It is evident that the federal reserve board and presumably the federal reserve banks are extremely anxious to have the state banks enter the federal system. Such a wish is inevitable by reason of the inherent desire of those in charge of anything to have it grow bigger. But if as all agree the federal reserve system is a workable means o. imparting stability to our tinance, it is obviously in the public interest that state banks should enter the system, as that would at once double its power of service. It is doubtful however whether any bank will Join or refuse to join the federal reserve system by reason of the views of its owners in to the effect on the general welfare. They will act on their judgment as to the credit or loss likely to accrue to that particular bank. We may therefore drop considerations of general welfare and consider some of the things which will probabby influence action. Probably the most important is the possible surrender of individual liberty. State banks are now under supervision by state authority. If they enter the federal system they will be under the supervision of two authorities. The federal reserve system is gradually drifting into the condition of a great central bank, differing from the bank planned by the Aldrich commission mainly in that the Aldrich plan made entrance voluntary and vested control in the owners of the money, while the ederal act made entrance by national banks compulsory and vested control in appointees of the president. As the state banks cannot be forced in their disposition is to wait and see how the system works, how much of their liberty of action they will have to surrender, and what they will get in cash dividends for their sacrifice. And those things cannot yet be known. The federal reserve board however is assuming more and more authority as indeed it must if the full purposes of the system are to be accomplished. Under the difficult conditions which the system is Intended to provide for its resources must be under single control. Other countries' have tinani ciers trained to wisely exercise such control. We have yet to develop a body of men such as those who control the Hank of England the Hank of France and the German P.eichsbank. There is but one member of j the federal reserve board who upon i appointment could be considered as ! approaching that class. That we shall ! develop them is proved by the tact that hitherto in great cities groups of men who by common consent have been recognized leaders have been able to give wise and effective direction. These general considerations can lie appreciated by all. The many minor considerations such as those having to do with collection of checks, capital and reserves required, real estate loans, exercise of trust functions, and the like vary according to the laws of the different state.- and belong to the domain of technical banking. It is not likely that the entrance of stute banks will for the present be vcrv rapid. And the delay is interesting" in the fact of the federal reserve board has to coax and not command. That may result in ameliora-' tion of conditions for all. There should be one bankisg system with emergency control at one head. Some think it will come about by the national banks reorganizing as state banks but retaining membership in the federal reserve system. That however, seems very improbable.

New York Times for thc strong language with which he urges men to enlist. It seems that It. K. "falls to cursing like a drab" from the hustings. He is not calm and collected like the New York Times but too much should not be made of that fact because Mr. Kipling is a poet and poets are excitable. The Times being a newspaper must keep its temper but a poet who kept his temper under all circumstances would hardly be worth reading.

Kipling's wrath can bo easily understood, lie is the patriotic poet par excelltnce. Upon Ids blooming lyre he strummed the imperial might of Hritain, sang the praises of Tommy Atkins, rhapsodied on the navy, the colonies, the union jack which Moated In proprietorship over the seven seas and upon which the sun never set. Upon that same lyre he warned his country to beware of Russia. Xow he finds that except for the aid given by "Adam-zad the bear that walks like a man" "the thin led line of 'eroes" including his beloved regiments. Sikhs, Gurkas and Punjabis would have been eaten up long ago. War conditions being as they are England offers a great market for poetry. Every day furnishes a thousand heroes, a thousand themes. But instead of sitting down at his desk and invoking the muse Uudyard Kipling feels that he must stamp around a platform and rave against the Germans in order to help the king get soldiers. If you could write tho stuff England wants you may be sure he would be doing it. Doubtless Kipling has tried sitting still and thinking but found it intolerable. So he cuts' loose and talks. The human dislike for concentrated thinking is common to all nations and attacks with special virility famous civilians during war time. That is one reason wars last so long once under way. They reduce thought and magnify noise. Tin: mi:moky rnr. The new system of memory train ing was being taught in a village I school near Bristol, and the teacher was becoming enthusiastic.

Shortly after 12 o'clock Tuesday night the fire bell sounded its alarm throughout the town and the news spre ad rapidly that the Fee hotel was afire. Nightwatch Vaughn discovered the fire and turned in the alarm just in time to prevent seriou.5 disaster. It seems that a traveling man. a canvasser, came in before 1 o'clock and after a light luncheon was shown to his room in the northwest corner of the building. Here he thought to write some letters before retiring, but being tired lay down on the bed to smoke and rest for a short time. Evidently he fell asleep and his cigar fell onto the bed. When the alarm was given Mr. Fee. proprietor of thc hotel, rushed to the door of thc room and forced an entrance. The room was full of smoke and had already broken into blaze. The man on the bed had not wakened. He was partially roused and dragged from the room by Mr. Fee and others who had gone to the rescue. Just a few moments more and it would have been too late. As it was. Dr. Frank Hevicr worked all night with the man to get his lungs into safe working- order, so damaged were they by tho smoke he had inhaled.
