' Neutral doctora express aatonlsbment at the number of aoldiera who go mad la the trenches. Why not? War started by, madness necessarily carries the contagion to the firing line. .' Despite tbelr complaints about Uncle Bam'a neutrality, our German friends admit by their acts tbat no couutry on earth looks better to them ae a friendly port for internment Current obituaries of defunct legislatures invartsbly eulogize bodies which hae produced the !aat results. Quality, not Quantity, of out put is the bssls of commendation. This Implies a publie readiness to pay full salaries for loaf lag on the Job. ' Down at Lincoln the danger 1 scented that two mayoralty aspirants may be winners In their City commlsaionershlp campaign, with one of them Is fiat event sure to be a square peg In a round hole. If worse comee to worst, Omaha may have to take Lincoln's extra mayor off Its hands. ; A new Garden of Eden has been located, this t3me In the wilds of South America. The die covery is Important and timely. Hostile armies are shooting np the original Garden and filling life with grare uncertainties. Thus .the new world rises to meet Its opportunities and give the harassed people of the old world fresh proof of Its boundless resources. Administration officials show pardonable' Joy over the Prospect of I89.000.00A from Inrnmi taxes. Last year's returna for three-quarters ot the fiscal year was, In round numbers, 128,000. 000. Inasmuch as the treasury cash balance has shrunk In four months from 188.000.000 to 121 000,000 the huge income Increase generates as mucb pleasure as rinding money. . The Three Referendum Propositions. At our city election next week the voter will be celled on to raKlstcr his wishes on three referendum measures, end to do so Intelligently he should know whst they sre about. The first is a school bond proposition authorizing the issoe of one million dollar of 4 '4 per cent bonds, the proceeds to be used to construct new school buildings in pursuance to the plan adopted and promulgated by the board. The demand for enlarged school ac commodations in various psrts of the city Is urgent, and will be more urgent with the advent of Greater Omaha. The second contemplates purchase of tbt Auditorium, for which authority to issue f 160. 000 of bonds Is required. The Auditorium rep resentf an Investment of nearly $100,000, which the city may now acquire for 1150,000, being the amount of the secured and floating indebt edness. No one who concedes that the city needs an Auditorium can hesitate to approve this purchase. The third is tbe question of Sunday base ball, this referendum coming ubder the state law providing for local option in Sunday ball playing. There Is ao more wholesome diversion for amusement-seekers in a large city week daya or Sundays than base ball and the people must have harmless amusement for their leisure hours. Liberal minded people, even though not themselves interested In base hall, will vote Yes." ' , The main thing for all Is not to overlook the three referendum propositions, so that the re sult recorded may reflect tbe real desires of tlie community. rmvm 4M ritikj Mayor Boyd ant In ta tha council hia nomination raappolnUnc FVa .

Equality tho Only Safe Rule. Regardless of the-arnount of the proposed light rate cut, the checking of Individual bills to ascertain tho effect furnishes tha strongest sup-, port for the demand, which The Bee haa voiced from time to time, for a straight meter-measure ment schedule In. place of the Chinese puztle estimates on which charges here have been based. Comparison of bills discloses that one consumer using precisely the same amount ot current aa his neighbor Is being arbitrarily charged more on the fictitious "readlness-to- serve" theory because be happens to have more lamp outlets than tbe other. It would be Just as sensible to make one householder pay more han his neighbor for the ssme number of gal lons of water' because he has more faucets through which the wafer flows. The only safe rule for public utility service of this kind Is the same prjee to all on the same meter measurement,' and no discrimination' or personal favoritism. , Fighteri and Films and the Law. An effort Is to be made to nullify the fed- era) statute that prohibits the Importation, thlpplDg or exhibition of prixe fight films, This aw waa passed In some haste, following certain unseemly proceedings at Reno, s few years ago. when a black bruiser proved himself the pbysu cal superior of a white pugilist. It was com mented upon at that time quite approvingly as preventing the exhibition of a degrading specta- cle. If good then, why not now? The conditions that existed at the time of the prize fight at Reno are the same today, with the one factor changed. Now tbe white fist-fighter has' triumphed over the Mack! '''Otherwise,' the' pectacle photographed In the ring Is, Just as demoralising and Just as lacking in the essentlr.l elements of amusement or Instruction. ' .And, wbiU the subject Is up, why should the film be suppressed, while the man who made It possible Is permitted to go about tbe country and show himself daily? If a prize fight Is de grading and unlawful i0 Itself, and a moving pic ture reproduction .thereof is to be prohibited, why should not tbe prixe fighter be suppressed. too? The Political Caldron ,' Peace Conference Starts with. War. Before it has even begun its official exist ence, the women's pesce conference, called to meet at The Hague today, finds its delegates un able tb agree over the methods of- procedure. This Is hardly' a good omen for ultimate success, nor does It quite realize the expectations aroused by the . project. It seems too bad that such a meeting .should -encounter anything even re- rootelyeaembltng a political snag. - - However, little reason exists for thinking that either of the monarch engaged in the. war will give ear to peace proposals from the outside at this time. . Surface indications Justify the be lief tbat hostilities will be carried on for some time yet. But' It Is to !be hoped that for the moral effect, at least, the women will be able to compose their dlfferdnces. They have here an opportunity to show mere men an excellent example of harmony and union in effort to do good. . f ' ''Uncle' Jo" Does a WalU. . , Cheering news comes from California that is, It will be cheering to a lot of people, and dis couraging to some others. It is to the effect thst Joseph Ourney Cannon, former speaker -of the bouse of representatives, haa continued his "come-back" movement, begun last November, by tripping airily around a ball room at the ex position grounds. He thereby redeemed a promise piedeflve years ago. In the Interim, his political obsequies have been held, he haa been laid away to rest In retirement, followed by sighs of relief from a lot of politicians, and has, as on many another occasion, refused to stay "put." His resumption of physlcsl as well as political activity Is a splendid inspiration for the young men of the day, as well as a rebuke to Oaierlsm. "Uncle Joe's" mind, too, is aa active aa his body, and that contains a promise of lively times ahead for the democrats. On the complaint of a citizen whose testes are offended by promiscuous displays the state steps in and decrees how and where ad vertUeraents msy be placed lu a telephone directory. Thus the state lends Its might and power to' the literary uplift ,and preserves the social 'registers bf communities from under scored commercialism.

It has also been remarked by soma aaga Individual-that chickens will ratum home to rooet. that tha law of compensation haa no regard far the eight hour day and that a sod political memory Is a valua ble aaaet. Tha preaent city campaign, very much Ilka other City campatgna, la proving to bo a time for caatlng up old grievances, harking tack to trtledoeda and good deeda. Even aa bread cast upon tha waters of Carter Lake, Pa It creek or tha Mlaaouri river, will return In many daya. ao are political bricks hurled In tha dim past re turning Just now like boomeranga to smite the thrower on tha face. "We lold you so." Tha ImpreeaUone. Inrectlvee, anathemas, moribund eggs of political hatching and other tokena of wrath and dislike, mentioned e week ago, are now being thrown from tha ramparts of the contending forces In tha local oampalgn. Tha archives of political memory are being invaded and tha aanctlty of the past Is being treepaawed upon for material. ' Administration speaker are reminding Chairman "utton of tha antla that ones upon a time ha coveted tha office of tha 'city eCtorney. and It la aald that In tha event ef tha ar.tis winning the Judge will connect Dp with the payroll and that Judge Sutton stltl has a rankling In hia bosom beceuae be waa not appointed city attorney. It seems that some ef the city hall people mads a memorandum of this Incident and saved It for campaign purposes. Chairman Ftynn ot the Ins has received aa anony mous letter, evidently written by a woman, stating that a certain man who Is on the antl committee should "let wall enough alone," or sha will tall an episode which happened In this man's office and which Included destruction of office accessories by his Irate wife. The man's name Is mentioned In th letter. " -It may be expected that one of tha candidates will be charged this weak with having tied another candi date's shirt Into bard knots at tha old swimming hole many, years ago In this city.

"I want to tell you, ' bore, that aha la looking mighty good. I waa talking te a man from Rockford today and ha aald that we have tha best chance we ever had. Do you know, the administration fellow are getting angry, that's what they are," said Celonet Cunningham, , . Then a newspaper man asked for tho tntlnararlea for the atreet meetings. Mr. Cunningham thought It would be well to announce theae street corner loca tion!, but Harry 3.

' ' r ' ' ' "Oh. no.' but It Is not best to arm the opposition -with information of -what We are going ta do," he replied. ' , . , , Then the secretary reeelved a Hat of all ef the regtetered voters us to data, from tha election com missioners' office, and remarked thst Je would have to pay "thirty-five buck a for tha type-written Hat. Hackett started t whistle the new tune, "I Didn't Rale My Boy to Bo a Nincompoop." "I believe I see a sew elvle eeneetousaeea awaken ing in this city and I also faat that the- 'quiet vote' will control -the altuatlon on election day. J don't think any great number ef voters are going to blindly vote for. alt of ths square seven or for all ef the straight six. but I contend that as intelligent selection will be made from tha fourteen candldatea," assever ated tha Careful Observer as he rode down tows with the Old Inhabitant yeaterove In a Jttsey. ' 1 "Then you don't believe In condemning the Ins en marne Just because they are In, oeeoribmg all virtue to tha outs. Just because they are eutaVde looking ta.

So licitor Oeneral Melghan of Canada taunted us with being more anxloua for dollars and rents than for tha princlplea involved in tha war. Tha dollar and cants taunt ia old enough to ahavs Ira beard.
