People and Events
Omaha at a Farm Region Center.
Omaha's claims for recognition as a proper lo
cation for a farm loan bank, under the new law,
are ideally supported. Members of the newly
named board tuggest the appropriate qualification
for location it proximity to farm region center,
regardless of site of the community. And in this
resides the advantage as well as the danger to
Omaha's pretensions.
Omaha is the center of the richest agricultural
region in the world. A circle having a radius o.
150 miles, with Omaha for its center, will en
close an area that annually sends to market more
of the products of the soil than any other simi
larly sized area in the world. This is not guess
work, but is based on facts. Omaha is the nat
ural market for this wonderful region, and is
surely coming into its own, in spite of efforts of
communities located around the edges of the rich
est farm region the sun shines on. This is the
advantage of location.
The danger that Omaha faces it in the person
nel of the board. Secretary McAdoo made no ef
fort to dissemble his personal prejudice against
this city when the federal reserve banks were being
located. The farm loan board hat on it one
Sioux City man, and a former resident of Sioux
City; and one man from Great Bend, Kan. This
accounts for four of the five members of the
board as it stands, who will not ordinarily be
especially favorable to Omaha's selection.
Only ignorance of the facts can prevent this
city from getting the bank, if proximity to the
farmer is to be the determining factor. Experi
ence with the location of the federal reserve bankt
shows that natural advantages do not always
count in these matters.
The Trouble With the Climate.
Sunspots, electric disturbances, the war in Eu
rope, and all similar influences are ditcarded by
the scientific sharps who dominate the weather
bureau at Washington, for they have located the
Bermuda high, and, therefore, the cause of all
the trouble we have been having with our cli
mate lately. This, in simple words, it an unusual
accumulation of air in the vicinity of the Wett
Indiet, following a mood of the atmosphere, on
which all weather depends, and which it the mott
unstable of the elements, About the only conso
lation that can be gained from the knowledge is
that the law of compensation must work, and the
Bermuda high must submit to such distribution
as will relieve the low pressure over the great cen
tral portion of the United States, which hat been
to generously scorched while the "high" wat de
veloping.' Along with this distribution will come
rains, and some of them will very likely come to
the corn fields that now need moisture.
The exasperating fact remains that while man
can tell why these "high" and "low" tpott occur,
he can never tell when nor where. Nor can he
U'A with any exactitude jutt what will happen
when the great matt of heaped-up atmosphere
that make! a high gets topheavy and tumbles over
into the depression that it mapped at a low. If
he knew thete two things, the job of forecasting
the weather would be a veritable cinch.

. , How Terribly Distressful!
It teemt that no matter what the republicans
do in Nebraska, they cannot possibly escape the
distressing sympathy of our amiable democratic
contemporary which is so constantly fearful that
republican mistakes may re-elect its chief owner
to the United States senate. : '
Because the republican primary, fought out
free from factional slates, resulted in the nomi
nation of a majority of candidates residing in
Omaha or Lincoln, it it tearfully solicitous for
republicans in other parti of the ttate to correct
tne oetectt ot the primary by voting the demo
cratic ticket. ,
Because the former bull mooters are back in
the party and are sharing with the regulars the
management of the republican campaign, this
democratic organ it shedding copious crocodile
tears over the outrages perpetrated by the stand
patters. ' ; . .
Because the chairman of our recent republican
atate convention assailed the democratic record
of "watchful wobbling" and showed up good and
plenty the repudiation of democratic promises,
he it tubjected to personal ridicule and lampoon
We know it it terribly distressing for the
democrats to tee the handwriting on the wall
forethadowing their certain defeat and we hardly
expect them to be in jovial apirita about it, but
they ought not to take it so hard at thit early
ttage of the game. '
The President's Variable Mind.
President Wilson's public advocacy of the Kea
ting child labor bill chiefly tervet to draw atten
tion to the fact that a very thort time ago he
expressed1 hit 'earnest opposition to this measure.
Conditioni which have ariien in the last few
weeks have apparently convinced him that he
made a serious blunder in hit first stand on the
bill, and he now hurries to its support, in the wake
of the popular demand that it be made a law.
Maybe he hat received aiturancei from the south
ern cotton baront that he will get the vote of the
solid south regardless, and that they will take
their chances on tvadi ig the, law, leaving him
free to pretend to the labor vote of the north tnat
he hat been friendly all the time.
Thia it not the first time the president hat
given proof that he doet not know jutt where hit
"single track" mind is leading him. He has re
versed himself on the Philippine question; on the
matter of national defense he hat made a com
plete about-fac movement; hit off-and-on policy
with Mexico hai witnessed to many changet and
variation! that it hai come to be like the snake
described In the "Bigelow Papera," of which the
observer was unable to tay if it "wat going south
or coming back." He changed hia mind with re-
gard to free trade, on the tariff commission and
on Diner important issues, jsot tne least of these
it the matter of running for a aecond term,
Hit fellow countrymen have welcomed tome of
these reversals, and cheerfully accord to Mr. Wil
ton the right to change hit mind as often as he
likes. But the voters have minda of their own
and will toon let him know what they think of a
president who It consistent only in hit inconsist
ency. . .,
i Another bank in Nebraska hat de-nationaliaed
and taken out a ttate charter and the last report
showt a lou of more than forty to the national
banking system throughout the country, to the
reason must be sought not so much in the attrac
tiont of the ttate law at in the new burdent or
objectionable features which the present admin
istration has put into the national law.

Soaking It to Unimproved Land.
Omaha, July 28. To the Editor of Th
Be i Tha increase of valuation, which la
naturally followed by a raiie in aateiBment
on tha unimproved city lota in Omaha of 48
per cent, or about 26 per cent more than
the increaae on Improved lot, ii nothing
more or than an outraseoui socialistic
measure. It ii, in fact, one of the funda
mental principles of socialism the viper
eating at the heart of the nation. I admit
that there are lots and tracts of land that
are lying vacant, and m this condition are
a drawback to the surrounding property and
the city as a whole; but does our valuewtse
assessor 4 he who wears out his precious
sole leather personally sizing up every piece
of real estate in the county) know that there
are vacant lots in the original city owned by
people who can neither sell them on ac
count of the depreciation of property In
their immediate vicinity, or build upon them
because they have not the means to do so:
nor can some of them procure the means.
Even those that are In a position to raise
the money with which to build, cannot build
for the very good reason that they ean find
no tenant for whom to build. If be is aware
of these facts he does not seem to give them
the least consideration. Some of these lots
are valued at from 5 to 80 per cent more
than the price that they have been, and are
now being offered for sale at. It is a fact
and I have the proof.
Now, Mr. Editor, Just a request for a
small correction: To my letter of the 8th
Inst., published In the "Letter Box" of
July 10, under your most appropriate title,
"Likes and Dislikes of a Reader," the lino
type (see, I am throwing the whole blame
on the machlnel It won't care), mis
spelled the writer's signature.
My name should read Walund, not Wah
rend. It will most likely make no difference
whatever to the most of The Bee's readers
whether the writer's name is Jim or Jack,
but as I touched upon the very vital ques
tion, that of the coming prohibition cam
paign, I would like to have the correction
made by the publication of this letter, if for
nothing else, for the benefit of your "prohib"
readers whom I trust are not more numerous
than the pesky musca domestic hat been
so far this torrid summer.

GRINS AND GROANS.
Tha Death Tell of Alcohol.
Omaha, July 28. Tto the Editor of The
Bee: Your "Letter Box' has become the
toil that flies the kite. It deals only in
living issues. In which all people are deeply
interested: Indeed it has become one of the
most interesting departments of jour valu
able paper. That column reflects public
sentiment as no other department can; It
throws light from all angles on local issues
and helps to reach correct decisions. It is a
school of politics and morals and la really
a benefaction to the community.
Mr. High has been represented as over
stating the deaths from alcohol In placing
It at .6,000 per annum. Great heavens I It
was estimated at 100,000 forty years ago I
Mr. High is certainly under the mark. The
fact Is, there are no reliable statistics not
even the government's on deaths caused by
alcohol. In the nature of the ease, there
cannot be; indirect deaths are never traced,
and direct ones are rarely reported. Thirty
years ago I sat In the office of tha leading
physicisn of St. Paul, Minn. An undertaker
stepped In and required certificate of the
cause of death. The physician seized a
blank and promptly wrote, "Pneumonia."
When the undertaker had gone he said,
"the man actually died of pneumonia, but it
was brought on by alcoholism."
"Why did you not say so?"
"Do you suppose I'd be fool enough to
do thatT"
Hoboes and social nobodies are correctly
reported, when dying from alcoholism, but
people of social standing, never.
The same is true of accidents and In fatal
surgical operations, admissions to hospitals,
asylums, prisons, poor houses, homicides,
suicides.
Three average eitisens were killed at 10
a. m. In the heart of this city two rears ago,
and nobody knows to this day who killed
them. If the police bad asked certain sa
loon keepers, they would have found not
who, but what killed them.
Mr. High la too low in his estimate' of
deaths from alcohol. The estimate of prison
wardens, superintendents of asylums, judges
and physicians is that TS per cent of deaths
must be attributed directly or indirectly to
alcohol.
It will require a million more lives and
billions more of dollars to conquer the cen
tral powers than It would have required if
the archbishop of Canterbury and his clergy
had given up their toddy as their king and
cabinet requested. The drive, now being
made, would have been made a year sopner,
if the inefficiency of alcohol had not delayed
preparation. Alcohol wastes men and money.

SEEING AMERICA FIRST.
P. H. Beach In Los Angeles Tlmaa.
At last the train had left the town,
And comfortably I'd settled down
To watch the rolling hills slip past
To see my native land at last.
Of giant cows I ssw a herd.
Each one of which did bear a word:
And each was trained to stand, twoulfl
seem,
To let me read: "Use Dewdrop Cream.
Beside a cow, a stool, and on it
A maid who blushed beneath her bonnet;
I wondered why she blushed, forsooth,
Until I saw the cause! A youth!
Full thirty feet his proud form roee,
hi. anLcifM dad In silken hose.

And, horrors! naught but D. B. V.'el
I saw a ptckle green and thjn.
With the profile of a Zeppelin;
'Twaa but one of fifty-seven
That blotted out and soured heaven.
I saw a Durham he-cow snort
Besides a towering flask of port;
A skldless tire toppled the hills;
The vales were pink with Leacham'a pllla.
X saw a girl In lingerie,
A pen the else of a redwood tree.
Colossus In a dollar shirt,
A shoe so big It couldn't hurt!
The evening shadows fell at last.
And still the curious world sped past;
Till the sun was quenched by a bottle ot
Scotch,
And moonlike rose a dollar watch.
Ah! the landscape Is an open book.
Wherein all who ride may look.
Oo forth! I would to all advise,
And see America advertise I
