Stock Market Augury.
The Greek oracles and the Roman soothsay
ers were nccustonied to give whomsoever con
sulted them answers sufficiently vague or In
definite or conditioned that they could cover al
trost anything that might transpire. We have
no more Greek oracles or Roman soothsayers in
this enlightened age. but we still have "Tom"
I.awson with us to tell us how to play the stock
market, and yet to impart the knowledge so that
win or lose, the prophet will be fully vindicated.
Consider for a moment this piece of characteris
tic language from one of Lawson's latest pro-
t.ouncements of advice furnished to the get-rich-qulck
public at his own expense:
I have rld'lrn all the stork booms alnea the early
70. acld-trstlnif their eaunea and effects, kodaking
their minutiae and rcel-photoInK earh boom for
future movies, and. recalling the long line of boom
and collnpnea, I am qualified to aay that the pres
ent on must run Ua rourae, and the devil take the
lame, the halt and the wayalde. loiterer. For the
present boom'a reagenta are auch that when Ita day
comrs It will be with us In the morning In all Ita
virile, chameleonlzlng radiancy, and In the evening
Ha shadow will be all that remalna of Ita corpae.
This 1916 boom, while Ita lasts, will be a record
breaker; when Ita collapse comes, it, too, will be a
record-breaker.
Whoever la confident that war atocka will keep
up should get aboard this boom, for all who get
aboard will be assured enormous profits, provided
war atocka stay up.
I want to pln-cllnch this: I don't say war stocks
will not stay up. I say only that there la a boom
on and that It will laat with Increasing fury whlie
war atocka do stay up.
There you have It! Now you see it and now
you don't. If you believe war stocks are going
up, buy them; If you believe war stocks are go
ing to collapse, sell them; If yon don't know
nythlng about It, keep out. Whatever you do,
"Tom" will tell you that you are gambling on
your own Judgment if you lose, and on his If
you win.
The Case of Nurse Carell. .
The execution by the German military au
thorities at Brussels of Miss Edith Cavell, an
Englishwoman, on a charge of espionage is at
tracting much attention Just now, because of
some of the unusual circumstances in connec
tion with it. It is a regrettable Incident of the
varfare, and of chief concern on this side be
cause of the part the American minister played
in it. Mr. Whltlock appears to have done all In
his power to secure mitigation of the death sen
tence, but without success. Germany deals with
persons accused of espionage in a summary way,
and makes no distinction between sexes. Miss
Cavell had admitted even more than was proved
against her; she placed herself within the ap
plication of the military law, and paid the pen
alty a law which Is no more German than it Is
British. This law can relax, though, as witness
the pardon by the kaiser of two prominent
women and a number of other Belgian prison
ers, condemned to death for offenses similar to
that of Miss Cavell, showing he is still, acces

Good Job Well Bgnn.
The Lake Mohonk conference on Indians and
other dependent peoples finds that the spelling
book has followed the flag into the Philippines.
Fifteen years after the occupation of the islands'
by the United Rtates, 4,300 schools, manned by
10.000 teachers, are' training 600,000 Filipino
youngsters, giving them education and fitting
them for responsible life In a way never dreamed
of until the Americans succeeded the Spanish
in control of the islands. And this with the pledge
of this government that our occupancy of the
it lands Is not permanent.
Frederick W. Taylor, formerly minister of
agriculture in the Islands, says that measures
should be taken to provide for the future of the
new-made Filipino. Education awakens him to
a better way of living, to more ambitious tastes.
uud he must be shown how to secure the wealth
that will enable him to gratify these tastes. This
will not bo a difficult task, if the natural re
aourcns of the archipelago are as extensive as
reported. The Filipino will readily learn how
to turn ols opportunities into money, wherewith
to create newer and greater opportuntles, fol
lowing tho beneflclent circle as sedulously as
does his white brother.
Uncle Sam Is well begun on a good Job, and
tho world must admire his skill and patience in
dealing with It, as well as admit how much
better off are the people of that previously neg
lected section than they would have been, had
we followed Mr. Bryan's advice and turned them
loose to remain in tne condition In which we

Common Sense vs. Prudery
Xr. Woods Xatchlssom. '
OUR proutleat boast la that we aro clvlllaed. but In
certain enrnera of our mind we are atlll aavace
pure savage. We have outgrown the totem and
the tom-tom, but we atlll cower under the tyranny
of the taboo. There are etill certain thlnnre which It
la forbidden to mentlnn. whose existence may not t
officially reconnlied. whoae namea are not allowed to
appear In public.
A funny Jumble thry are, from the Ineffable namea
of the gods, nhlih muat not be taken In vain, and the
bad luck, which munt not be mentioned for fear 'f
hrlnclng It upon ua, to the social evil and comfort
atatlon which even In thla twentieth century we dure
not call by their right namea. How fearfully binding
atlll la the taboo Inl.l upon ua by our I'urltan ancextora
baa been vividly llluatratci In the addrcas of tho
president of the American Tubllc Health aaaoclatlon,
I'rof. rv-dgwlck. at tho recent annual meeting in
Horhceter.
Ilia addreea dealt with our aanltary succeaaea and
failures. High up on the lmt of the latter he place-!
the titter Inadequacy and Insufficient auprly of com
fort stationa In our large cities.
Aa an Illuminating Illustration he rltcd the fact
that a New Englnnd city i.f over liO.OOO population
had Juat held a public demonstration to celebrate the
opening of Ita first and only comfort station secured
after ten yeirs of determined effort on the part of
the health authorities! Judging by past experience It
will now protably rest on Ita laurels for another tan
years, pointing proudly to the eatabllahment as an
answer to all complaint and making It one of the
ahow placea of the town for country vlsltora, like the
court houre and the new Jail, Inatead of proceeding to
add at the Uaat ten. or better, twenty, such con
veniences, wh'ch Ita population demanda for the pub
lic health and comfrrt. That Is the worst of a taboo;
the evil which you are not permitted to mention or
discuss la timrt-pon treated aa If It did not exist.
Which anmehow doe a not seem to discourage It in the
least. Maludiea apreud by Insanitary or Immoral per
sonal habits attack the modeat Juat as frequently as
the Immodest, the Innocent as viciously as the guilty;
but what does all that matter ao long as e. have
preserved, unaullled, our propriety and our prudery?
The argument In favor of an abundant supply of
comfort stations In our tuwns and cities are a)
obvious, so unanswerable that It la scarcely necessary
to more than mention them. Not only are all public
health experts, annltarlans, physicians and organisa
tions for the protection of children, of women In In-
duatry and of workers generally unanlmoua In de
manding them, but practically every Intelligent human
being who has considered the matter dispassionately
for five mlnutee, la convinced of their desirability.
Hut and then the excuaea begin for not bulldijig them.
Perfect refinement of both speech and behavior
nd absolute correctnees of conduct are highly desir
able, but there Is no sense In their blinding Us to, nor
la their actual attainment In the slightest degree hin
dered by the frank recognition of, the fact that every
living human being baa certain Imperative physical
needs which must be met, on an average, every two or
four houra. If these demanda are not properly and ade
quately met the result will be grave discomfort and
risk of permanent Injury to the Individual and aerlous
Increase of the chances for the spread of disease
throughout the community.
The discomfort and Injury to the Individual need
no proof. One's own personal experiences and fre
quent first-hand observations of the distress, an
noyance and" embarraasmcnt of others la overwhelm
ingly sufficient The strait J and humiliations to
which all sorts of Individuals are put by the lack of
these fundamental necessities of decency and health,
particularly strangers In the city, women of nervous
temperament and young children, or those who have
the care of them, are simply abominable both. In their
c'iucm:jr biiu in lonr menace to neaitn and comfort.
in fact, we would not tolerate such an amount of
ufferlng. discomfort snd menace to health for a mo
ment In any other field of human activity. Not only
la the mental distress and moral humiliation bad
enough In Itself to demand Immediate relief by so
simple and easy a means, but there Is serious risk; of
miia and temporary Irritations being goaded Into se
rious chronic dlaeaaes, to say nothing of laying the
foundations for a retention of oolaonoua ! tn

OMAHA. Oct .-To the Editor of The
Bee; In the last month there have been
thirty cases of highway robbery, forty
burglaries, fifteen cases of pocket-rlcklng
and as many of sneak thievery In our
city. To crown these glorious achieve
ments a good and honest cltlxcn of our
r.eighbor city was shot down In cold blood
on our streets, and his young woman
companion waa drnajged for a mile
through or residential district and sub
jected to the most unspeakable Indignities.
What aro the police going to do about
It? What can 1 men. divided Into three
shifts, half of whom are not patrolmen,
do against a condition of this kind? One
of two facta is true either the police
force Is not numerically adequate to cope
with the situation, br Its superior officers
are lamentably Incompetent. I am In
clined toward the former beller, and have
a few atiggestlons to offer.
The night shift of the Omaha fire de
partment are permitted to sleep while on
duty. This gives them six months' vaca
tion In evcrv vear. Why not make a
day police force out of these men and
have them do the work now- being done
by the regular day pollen? Such an ar
rangement would give the present day
for-e an opportunity to properly patrol
the street at night, and that la the time
thev are most needed. It would more
than double the police protection.
Will anyone pretend that such an ar
rangement would be unfair? There are
enough city firemen to make two shifts
of six hours each for day police duty, and
since their only duty at night Is to sleep
and answer an occasional bell, there Is
no good reason why they should not con
sent to render this service to the city.
If this scheme would fall the only solu
tion would be to select volunteer citizens
to patrol the streets at night. Something
must be done. These crooks and mur
derers should be dragged to Jurtlce.

These critics say that "Billy" ridicules
everybody's religion but his own. Why
shouldn't he? There Is but on true re

set forth by Mr. Sunday. All others are
false. No one will criticise his message
exoept those who have a false religion,

whereof they speak, and would be Im

POVTH BIDE, OMAHA, Oct 21 To the
Editor of The Bee: It .ke to me as If
the overwhelming defeat of the woman
suffrage question In New Jerey caa bo
taken to indicate two thlnsa. The llrst
thing It In. Urates Is that the men of the
Vnlted Statea are not yet lea.y to turn
the affairs of the country over to a lot
of maiden ladies of the Miss Anna Shaw
variety, who have nothing else to do ex
cept to agitate the euffraKe question 10
much that men get tired of it and will
not vote for It since they hsve recoered
from the hysterical Roosevelt spell that
came over so many In the campaign of
1912, and If the people of Illinois had a
chance to vote on the Issue tod iy they
would overwhelm suffrage worse than It
was beaten In New Jersey this week.
Puffrage was forced upon the people of
Illinois by a trick, for it would never
have carried by vote of the men of that
state. New Jersey had tried woman suf
frage once and got tired of it and did not
want to try the same experiment over
aguln.
Another thing shown by the vote in
New Jersey Is that It is really a slap In
the face for President Wilson and points
tho way to the overwhelming defeat that
awaits him If he runs In 191C again. If
there Is even a reasonable reunion of the
republican forces In 1916 and a man of
the type of Burton of Ohio or of Sher
man of Illinois, or of Fairbanks of Indi
ana Is nominated, the defeat of Wilson
Is assured aa soon aa their names are
placed before the people.
The administration of Wilson has had
every chance to make good, but aa la the
case always, the democratic party has
failed to benefit the people of this coun
try, as Is shown by the reports that mil
lions of men are out of employment to
day, that people are hungry In the
midst of the greatest crops in the his
tory of the nation, in face of the fact
that the exports of this) country of grain
and other products has been greater
than in any year of our history, yet the
treasury of the United States is empty.
the surplus left by the republican party
having grown into a deficit, as waa the
case under Orover Cleveland, and an
Issue of bonds Is now contemplated by
reason of democratic mismanagement
Democratic papers may make all the fuss
they want to about republicans being
calamity howlers, yet the fact remains
that they are the ones to blame for the
present condition of financial affairs in
this country today, when the cost of liv
ing has not decreased and when a war
tax Is Inflicted upon tie m times of peace.
They are trying to divert the attention
of people from the hard times to a huge
Increase of the army and navy, which is
In direct opposition to the peace pro
posals of the Wilson administration one
year ago.
Wilson, by his premature love affair
and his sudden change of heart for
woman suffrage, has changed tho senti
ment of people from him so that If the
presidential election should bo held this
year, he would be beaten nearly aa badly
aa he beat Taft in 1V12. Even Toft today
could beat him so badly that he would
hardly know ho was running. By Judi
cious management the republican party
will regain power by an overwhelming
sweep in 1916 and the good old republican
times will be upon us again within the
next eighteen months. P. A. AONBW.
