Treating Visitors Eight
On the theory that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,
The Bee ventures a reminder in ad
vance of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
that the best way to impress visitors
in favor of Omaha is to treat them
right.
Down' at Lincoln they are having
a postscript discussion over com
plaints of guests from abroad against
increased prices and overcharges
during fair week by shoe-shining
places, restaurants and amusement
resorts, leaving a bad taste in the
mouth. '. Although this experience, is
not exceptional to Lincoln, the busi
ness men there do not hesitate to de
nounce the practice as detrimental
to the city. ' They are forced to
admit that visitors cannot be blamed
for jumping to the conclusion that a
city that will sting them for - shoe
shines will sting them for clothing or
table linen, and a movement is pro
posed to prevent the abuse in the fu
ture. ' ' : j
Omaha, we believe, has done fairly:
well when called upon to entertain'
convention delegates or Ak-Sar-Ben
crowds, but eternal vigilance is the
price of continued safety. It is up to
us, to our Commercial club, to our
new retailers' organization and to
our hotel and restaurant keepers' as
sociation to see to it that the
stranger within our gates shall have
the best possible treatment from the
moment he sets foot among us until
he betakes himself homeward.

Raisin? Dust Clouds. ,
Bull moose leaders are going up
and down throughout the land, kick
ing up 'great clouds of verbal dust to
blind the voters as to the real Issues
of the campaign. A favorite theme
is the labor of women and children.
On this topic they wax pathetically
eloquent and draw pictures of the
misery that now exists, and of the
great happiness that' will follow
when , they shall have come into
power, and all the laws proposed in
the bull mooso platform are passed.
But the gentlemen protest too
much, for to begin With, the con
gress has already voted laws on the
subject of child labor and the em
ployment of women, and they are in
effect wherever a national law may
govern. But congress can not
pass laws to regulate industry under
state control. ; Happily, most of
the states have laws to regulate the
employment of'women and children
and these were almost Invariably
passed by republican legislatures
signed by republican governors, and
enforced by republican- Inspectors.
The most notable exceptions are the
southern states, where little or no
legislation has been had on the sub
ject, because the democrats, who
control .-down there, are, opposed to
"interference with the right to con
tract," which means that the mills
of the south are filled up with over
worked and underpaid women and
children. These same gentlemen will
also resent any action by congress,
in which they have a majority, that
impinges : on the state's ' rights
doctrine. . . , '. "?.
- Bo the pathos of the bull nooaers
amounts only to verbal vapor, nd
rightly understood should be taken
as boosts for republican achieve
ment., ' ' v . f ';.,"
Two Picture,
, An editorial in the Chicago Tri
bune contrasts two pictures with, tea
declaration that few in our -history
are more dramatic, and the1 pictures
are those of Nebraska during ; the
lean years of the early nineties, and
the full-fed prosperity of today.1 The
writer recalls an expedition 'into
western Nebraska on a melancholy
errand eighteen years agd, when he
was employed on an Omaha, news
paper: , : ' , , ;.. ; ;
There 'was famine in the land, and
wherever he traveled In the bitter cold of
that winter deserted farm houses stared
at him like hollow eyed ghosts of hopes
abandoned. Barns and lofts were empty
and the. remains of farm machinery stood
forlorn In the wind swept f if Ids. In one
farmyard , , lone,' disconsolate . gray wolf
slunk nhiverlng away. S ''''' ' '.',
, Against this disagreeable memory
be holds up another pen picture;; V
The other' day. the Burtlng'ton railroad,
reporting on some of the conditions of
the Nebraska of 191,, noted the fact that
there are' 30,000 automobiles listed as
owned in the state an average of one
to every forty-eight, inhabitants. In
some districts ' every farm Is equipped
with one. . . ' ' . ' , '
No one familiar with the agricul
tural progress made' on the prairies,
out of which Nebraska, Iowa, Kan
sas and South Dakota have been
carved, will have to be convinced" of
future wonders In store when Intelli
gent farmers, trained In modern
scientific methods, and equipped
... .t .
with the most improved machinery,
make the soil produce to the meas
ure of Its fertility.
f inasmuch as supervision of the in
surance department is among the
most i important - duties "devolving
upon the state auditor, the fact that
a. candidate for office knows some
thing about the insurance business
ought hardly to be charged up
against hiiri, his honesty, efficiency
and good repute otherwise being uni

A Moral Vprlsl Why
Mr. Roosevelt claims tu be leading a
moral uprising of the people against boss
rule and political deception. A moral Is
sue lightly engrosses public attention to
the exclusion of all other questions. His
tory teaches that the people can be re
lied upon to render- a Just verdict on a
moral issue when .the issue is ; clearly
stated, and the facts are known. It als
teaches that a popular leader, especially
when the real man s obscured by a halo
of , military o political glory, may by
appealing to prejudice and passion de
ceive the populace as to the real Issues,
and lead them In a fervor of patriotism
to a betrayal of their country's good. So
it was in .the case of Caesar.. Cromwell,
Napoleon and In our own day in Mexico.
I, . therefore, submit the following ' in
the hope that it may lead to a better
understanding of the real issues raised by
Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy. ' ,
Political Machine and Third Term. -
Mr. Roosevelt claims that the. strength
of, Mr.; Tart in the republican convention
was due entirely to, his powers aa presi
dent, vis.: v'. ' -v '
1. To appoint influential politicians to
office.
i. To favor special interests in legisla
tion. . ; -'. .'
3. To favor particular men and particu
lar interests lrv the execution of ' the
laws. '' ' :
i. That this power and prestige of the
president is so intimately connected with
the power, prestige and emoluments bf
every 1 other officeholder elected on the
same party ticket as to constitute a vast
political machine, . so ' powerful that it
can override' the will of .the majority of
the electors at least In nominating con
ventions. ' - --
Mr. Roosevelt speaks with knowledge.
He himself used this power' when he se
cured his own nomination for a second
term. He used it again when he secured
the nomination of Mr. Taft He was the
first president of the United States to
enter actively into a political contest in
his own party to name his own successor.
Mr. Roosevelt's order to his attorney
general not to prosecute the United States
Harvester company, his approval of the
purchase of the Tennessee Coal and iron
company by the United otates Steel com
pany are illustrations of how such polit
ical power can be built up. The assist
ance he is receiving today' from Mr. Per
kins and former appointees to office il
lustrate the magnitude of such political
assets quite as much as the presence In
the Chicago convention of Mr. Taft!s ap-,
pointees.
Surely so much power might easily
become dangerous, and should be limited.
What is the limitation thereon in our
laws or national customs today T There
is but one the precedent ' created by
Washington, followed by Jefferson, and
accepted by the American people, of no
more than two terms fdr any one mai.
aa president : That limitation acts as
a strong Inducement to every incumbent
to make a commendable record during
his term of office and not try to us
his temporary powers to perpetuate ths
same and -name bis ' successors. That
precedent, once destroyed, would render
easier the Caeeartzlng of our institutions.
That precedent was strong enough to
prevent Mr. Roosevelt seeking a third
consecutive term. He violated the' spirit
of -that precedent When he exerted his
powers to nominate and elect-Mr. Taft.
He is today using the remnants of his
organisation to recover the bower which
that precedent forced blm to" lay aside,
apparently expecting that Mr. Taft
would hold It in trust for bis future
use. He abandoned La Follette, the
IN THREE PARTS PAET I. .
foremost champion of the principles foi
which he claimed to be contending, and
refused his consent to the nomination
of Governor Hadley on a progressive
platform, and thereby made manifest tht
Interests that were behind him, playing
on hi conceit and insatiable thirst foi
glory. . ;
A Watlooal Peril. . ,
The. danger that lurks in the destruc
tion of the precedent against a third
term becomes a present peril when we
consider the centralization of . govern
mental ' power Involved in. the . present
laws and- measures he proposes- . He
would have- a commission appointed ;b
the president to regulate the railroads,
a commission appointed by the president
to - legalize -, monopolies, and , thereafter
regulate them, even to fixing the price to
be charged for the'r products: a com
mission appointed by the president t
prepare the tariff bill; a commission ap
pointed by the president to conserve out
natural resources, grant concessions and
limitations thereon; a commission to de
termine upon and execute great public
works. He would centralize in the gov
ernment at Washington' the power tt
regulate factory methods, " hours' of em
ployment, accident insurance, old age
pensions, child and. woman labor and
nearly everything that comes under the
police" power of the state, which wt
know as local self-government, and have
heretofore, believed could , best be exer
cised by the people of each ? locality
through their state government- If' his
schemes of centralization of power should
be adopted, It . would clothe . the presi
dent with powers greater than those
possessed by . any autocrat on. earth; a
power that could favor, bargain .with
and Intimidate every railroad and.manu..
facturing company In the United State
that was dependent , upon the, ..laws re
lating -.to. transportation, monopoly or
tariff- It would make it .Impossible for
the people' in any state to inaugurate, a
new reform until they could get ' It
adopted by the administration at Waslf
lngton. In the past, all reforms hiav
been of slow growth, developing from
small beginnings,; until they were finally
adopted by some Slate, and, when proved
successful, by. the other' states. . "
The ballot for women, Initiative 'and
referendum, and even factory regulation
would not be national issues today If it
had not been possible for individual states
to adopt them in the first instance. Even
In the matter of railroad regulation, the
national government lagged behind the
states. It Is not ' my present purpose,
however, to discuss the policy of such'
measures other than to point put the. fact
that the centralization of power In the
president proposed 1 by Mr. Roosevelt,
joined with the destruction of the pre
ced?nt against a third term, would easily,
naturally arid necessarily build up a- po
etical machine in the hands of Mr.. Roose
velt and his successors so ' all-powerful
as to be a menace to free government
' In the struggle of tine "people against
the bosses' we have a partial protection
In the fact that the "outs" are more nu.
merous than - the 'Ins;" that the "ma
chine'- is bulky and unwieldy; that a
"confusion of tongues" disturbs its oper
ation; and th people can see its -mechan
ism, and know its work. ' -:
In the struggle of the "people" against
the boss" 'the autocrat is Intrenched in
office by custom ; his power secretly per
meates every community, is bound up
with business Stability, is hedged about
by legal forms and protected by its dis
tance from the people affected. History
teaches that a revolution alone can brine
back their government to the people, aa
is being illustrated in Mexico today.

Baltimore American:"' General Nelson
A.' Miles' review of the political sltua

people of the dangerous theories ad
vanced by the third term candidate is
one of the most forceful 'document con
'trlbuted to the literature of the present

'8pringficld Republicax: ':lt 'Is',' being
pointed out that while our "bumper' 1912
crop shows an enormous estimated total
value, It is not apparent that productivity
per acre, which is the" true test, has in
creased. " 'A bulletin recently- Issued by '
the -census bureau shows that the crop
of 1909 showed ah Increase of 83 cent'ovet
the crop of 1899, .but that the ; Increased
value was due mainly to higher ' prices.
That is, a kind of gain in which .the
farmer can take' more satisfaction than
the country at large; it remains aa true
as ever that the most substantial bene
factor is the than who makes two stalks
of wheat grow where one grew before.
It Is a hopeful sign that American farmers
are coming to realise "that they are sot

might, and the great educational work

lers, who bad occupied the island for
more than two centuries, the great Soly
man launched one of me most powerful
armaments that had ever been seen In
Europe. Appealing in vain to the Chris
tian powers " or the continent for aid,
the gallant knights braced themselves
to meet the mighty onslaught alone.
and the way in which for so long a
time they withstood it has for almost four
centuries challenged the admiration of
mankind. ' Outnumbered ten to one, as
sailed on all sides, by sea and by land,
the knights held bravely on until, re
duced to almost nothing by death.
wounds and starvation, they were obliged
to surrender. On New Year's day, 1523,
the Grand Master embarked the last of
the 'knights, with the; property of the
order, and the Turks began the posses
sion which they have " held up to the
present time.
The great emperor.. Charles the Firth.
upon hearing of the .result of the, salge,
exclaimed . wltn ringing enthusiasm:
"Nothing In the world haa been so well
lost as Rhodes!" ; Even the cold nature
of Charles waa, aroused to deepest in

pitallers, - -I i,: . - "
It was this same Rhodes that was
awakened but the other day by the shells
of the Italian warships. As the great
guns thundered before the ancient city,
Its degenerate masters, the descendants
of , the men who took, it from the Hos
pitallers, trembled like "frightened chil
dren, as If in prophecy of the approach

Sun. - ';- . . 5 ' '
The Island of Rhodes Is one of Jthe most
beautiful In 'the world. According to
mythology,, Apollo, the handsomest of the
gods, fell desperately in love with Rhodes,
and even old Neptune, the god of the
seas, swore that it was the most charm
ing spot on earth. The Greek poets were
lavish in their praise of Rhodes, and the
snrene skies, fertile soil and fine fruits
are sUll the delight of modern tourists.
Every gale is scented with ' the -most
powerful fragrance, wafted from groves
of orange and citrus' trees. Numberless
aromatic herbs exhale their odor; and the
whole atmosphere seems ' impregnated
wilth sweetest perfume. The winds are
gentle, and liable to but little variation,
and the temperature Is such that -one is

It Is no wonder that Italy is casting
"sheep's eyes"; at the Mediterranean

- It was at Rhodes that the celebrated
Colossus stood, lighting up the wonderful
harbor. The' figure stood upon two mas
sive moles, a leg being extended on' each
side of the harbor, so that a ship in full
sail could enter between. 'Built 290 B. C,
it was thrown down by an earthquake
some seventy years later, and lay - in
ruins for nine centuries. When the Sara
cens took Khodes In-650 A. they
pulled the statue to pieces and sold the
metal, which, we'ghed 100,000 pounds, to
a Jewish merchant, who is said to have
loaded eleven hundred camels 'in trans
porting it to Alexandria. '

The International Typographical union
has set an example which all parties' ta
contractual ' relations wtih labor should
note, employers as well, as employes. The
union at ". its . international convention
unanimously Indorsed the course j of the
executive council of, the f&ereotypers'
union for- penalising its members In the
Chicago strike case for violating con
tracts. The Typographical union de
clined to become embroiled in a sympa
thetic strike, holding that its contracts
must be sacredly observed on both sides
if there was to be any good faith remain
maining between men. James M. Lynch,
president of the Typographical union, is
known as an uncompromising advocate of
the cause of unionism. He haa shown In
the recent convention that be haa no sym
pathy with .contract Jumpers, whether
they be union men or employers. The
cause of labor is distinctly advanced by
the high ground taken by the Typograph
ical union and the 8tereotypera' union.
Having Insisted on the maintenance of
their own contracts they will be in a
position to contend that those who have
contracts with them must do the same
thing. V ,

There la nothing remarkable In the
statement that a book agent has just
died at the age of 101 and waa soliciting
subscriptions until a short time before
Ms death. A book agent Is naturally a
man. of remarkable vitality and uncom
mon powers of endurance; he cannot, be
susceptible to condditlons - surrounding
elm; he must be proof against the slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune, con
tumely and reproach. If a man In the
habit of subscribing for books and tak

vive for a century the fact .Would be of
the greatest Interest to all neurologists
and vital statisticians. . "-.-'
