NO HAPPY FAMILY THERE.
Whit is called an uprising of fanatics in Min
danao fastens attention on a phase of the situation
in the Philippine that is apt to be lost sight of. This
is that Manuel Quezon, in his demands for with
drawal of the United States from the protecorate
it has so long carried on, is not the spokesman for
the entire archipelago. Sentiment in Luzon is one
thing, in Mindanao it is quite another, while Min
doro and others of the larger islands equally ex
pect to have something to say about the matter.
Christian tribes in Luzon may be averse to the
Quezon plans, but the Moslems of Mindanao un
doubtedly are. These latter have made a peace with
the United States which they have respected, and
under the tutelage of Americans have made great
progress in civilized ways. They are not yet ready
to accept the minority representation that would
be theirs in a government dominated by Luzon, and
therein lies the trouble.
At present the outbreak is directed against the
constabulary, which represents the Filipino gov
ernment, and it may be accepted as the protest of
the Mohammedan Malayan against the assumption
of power on part of the Christins, even though
these are greatly superior in numbers. Moros be
lieve they are entitled to have something to say
about the future of their own land, and are taking
this way of emphasizing their belief.
General Wood is reported to be on his way to
the scene to takfe note of what is needed to quiet
the insurrection and restore order. Some are of
the opinion that the whole affair has been fomented
by the supporters of Quezon, for the purpose of em
barrassing as much as possible the governor-general,
ns part of the campaign that has been waged by the
faction which is trying to compel withdrawal of the
United States. /
It is doubtful if the independence of the Phil
ippines will be set forward by these tactics, although
there is a steadily growing number of people in this
country who favor withdrawing of all control by
the United States, according the Filipinos full inde
pendence. A civil war would probably be the first
outcome of such a.course, with the destruction of
most of what has been done by the United States
for the advancement of the people. If they wish
freedom. The sentiment of the islanders should
rhow more harmony than It does at present.
BIG SPORTS PAY BIG MONEY.
Were you all attention Saturday afternoon wait
ing for the news from the eastern race track? No?
You probably had a lot of company, for the so
called great match race lacked something to attract
great public attention. Press agents for Papyrus
and Zev worked hard enough, all will admit, yet
did not seem quite able to set the country on fire.
A few enthusiastic amateur horsemen worked up a
little interest in the event, but generally it left the j
people cold.
First of all reasons for this, the whole affair
had too much the appearance of a clever commer
cial enterprise rather than a genuine effort to ad
vance the horse breeding industry by & careful com
parison of methods and results. It is difference of
opinion that makes horse races, a venerable and ven
erated saw, does not apply here. This horse race
was made by some clever managers, who saw in it
a chance to secure large sums of money from those
who could be stirred up to the proper pitch.
These managers were following the lead of the
prizefight promoters, who found little difficulty in
luring more than a million dollars from patrons by
offering them a match, the outcome of which was
foreseen from the beginning. Baseball has gone
the same way; New York formed the big bulk of
the mobs that besieged the gates of the greatest
stadiums ever constructed for similar sports, pouring
out many hundreds of thousands of dollars to see
the Yankees and the Giants play. Now the horse
racing industry has cut into the big purse zone,
and no one can tell where the stop will be.
Americans are willing to pay when their in
terest is enlisted, and any sort of game will at
tract them. We will not be happy until some fabu
lous sum has been offered for the international
horseshoe pitching championship, although this may
never happen, for it would take too long to teach
a foreigner how to play the game so well beloved
on this side.
But there is money in sport when the condi
tions are right
HOW FASHIONS CHANGE NATURE.
A chinchilla is a small rodent, somewhere be
tween a rat and a squirrel, and of a size between
them. Once he lived in large numbers in the moun
tains of Peru and Chile, where he is a native. That
was before the ladies learned to love him for the
fur he bears. It takes a good many pelts from a
chinchilla rat to make a 36 or 64-inch coat, while
even to trim a cloth coat quite a few are required.
However, the hunters arc solving the problem. Ac
cording to word from Iiuonos Ayres the day is but
a little way ahead when the answer will come back,
“Yes, wo have no chinchilla!’’
So it has gone. Perhaps Mrs. Stonehatchet de
veloped such a taste for the tail feathers of the
pterodactyl that the extinction of that rather odd
bird was hastened by market hunters. At any rate,
freaks of fashion, whims and fancies of fops of both
rexes, have had a lot to do with shaping the fauna
of the world. Birds and nnimuls alike have been
hunted to extinction, because they have been un
fortunate enough to wear something the featherless
bipeds have craved.
If the taste eould he indulged in moderation,
maybe no harm would come from it, hut the birdies
and the bcasties do not multiply fast enough t<>
meet the demand. Whnt will happen when the chin
chilla rat is extinct need not be guessed at. Some
thing else will be hunted, but it is a pity to think
that very soon this soft, dainty fur will be no more,
unless the government of the countries where it
grows step in and put control on the slaughter of the
rats.

"T. R.” WILLING TO SHOOT. |
“Smile when you say that,” warned the Vir
ginian, addressing the truculent Trampas, and he
expressed a sentiment that prevailed very generally
throughout the west in those days. The word without
the smile usually meant work for the undertaker.
Many an unmarked grave contains the forgotten re
mains of some thoughtless or venturesome person
who used fight words without smiling as he said
them;
Theodore Roosevelt was no exception to the uni
versal rule. In the days when he occasionally visited
Medora he learned that most useful of all lessons
in his time, to walk softly, but carry a big stick.
It is not at all surprising that his widow has found
among old letters evidence that Roosevelt did not
shrink when challenged to mortal combat by a swag
gering French nobleman, nor is it especially to be
wondered at that the challenger, in the vernacular
phrase, “took down” when he found the man he
sought to bully was not frightened at the thought
of being held accountable for what he had said or
done.
Tea table rules did not prevail in Medora, or any
other part of that wonderful region of which the
town and its citizens were typical. A man was ac
cepted at his face value, and held responsible for his
own acts and utterances. His credit was good, but
it was up to him to keep it good. Just as he behaved,
so was he rated, and the brightest jewel in the
Roosevelt diadem is that he caught and held the es
teem of the men he met when he was a cowboy and
deputy sheriff in a section of the untamed west.
That letter of his should go into the national ar
chives, for it deserves a place alongside his state
papers. It shows the sort of man he was.
THE CITY MANAGER PEAN
There is nothing mysterious or involved in the
plan of city management. It is merely putting the
municipality under the same business management
that is necessary in the successful conduct of the
business of any big mercantile or manufacturing
business, or of any successful public service cor
poration.
No privpte business, no public service corpora
tion, could survive for any considerable length of
time if managed as the affairs of the average mu
nicipality are managed. No matter how big a private
corporation may be, no matter how big the affairs
of a public service corporation, if successful it must
have one responsible head, one manager whose
judgment is final, whose finger is on the pulse of
every department. True, there must be department
heads, but they must be subj'ect to the orders of the
directing head. One may easily imagine what would
happen in the affairs of any one of the great rail
roads entering Omaha if the managers of all the
numerous departments were constantly warring,
constantly bickering and utterly contemptuous of any
advice or orders from the president upon whose
shoulders rests the responsibility of the whole system.
The city manager plan merely contemplates con
ducting the affairs of a municipality along the
same common sense lines that successful private
business is conducted. It fixes absolute responsi
bility. It does away with the political “pie counter”
and its train of evils. It gets for the city the serv
ice that it pays for.
It is not meet that the proposal, now heard so
frequently, be sneered at and the idea called Uto
pian. It is worthy of careful study and honest con
sideration. In view of all that has happened in
Omaha under present conditions, and the unde
sirable publicity the city has gained in consequence
thereof, it is doubly the duty of Omahans who put
city welfare above partisan victory to study the
city manager plan as it works in Dayton, Ohio, and
right here in our own state, at Alliance.
This question is growing in importance, and it
is not to be lightly dismissed.

Moving Criminals.
From the Norfolk News.
One great- cause of all the trouble
with crime and criminals is the prac
tice of passing them on.
The authorities let a man off “if he
will leave town at once." He leaves.
Ther seems to be nn idea that an
order to leave town will strand the
criminal in space somewhere. He
still eats, drinks, sleeps and takes up
room in the world. Whre does he go?
To the next town, of course. Or to
the nearest big city, already over
crowded with criminals.
Of all the senseless methods of
procedure of which humanity is
guilty, this one seems one of the
inose senseless and weakminded. The
criminal is there. A wave of the
hand neither eliminates him nor re
forms him. It is merely an evasion
“f the main Issue, a passing of the
buck.
The criminal Is there. If It is his
home town, and he is young, he can
be given a chance to make good under
parole. If he makes good, he Is no
longer a criminal. If he remains
criminal, he should be detained so
that he can no longer make trouble
for normal people. Making the next
town retaliates. An endless chain of
criminal force is let loose on the land.
They Suffer I'ain Silently.
(Dr, A. s. Alexander. In Farm and Fire
side.) ~
Some people who regard animals
as merely "dumb brutes'' also as
sumo that they are incapable of
severely suffering pain.
Years ago a St. Bernard dog was
brought to my veterinary hospital
suffering terribly from inflammatory
rheumatism. Anodynes quickly re
lie vi d the pain, and appropriate
treatment afterward banished the
disease. One morning several months
later we were awakened at 4 o'clock
by the mournful howl of a dog that
now and then stoppid to scratch at
the back door of the house. On going
down I found the St. B"rnard again
afflicted with the inflammatory
trouble. He had returned seven
miles to the place where previously
he had found relief, and with ap
pealing eyes and tortured cries, as
best he could, to say:
"Here I am again, doctor! The
pain's as bad as ever. For pity's
sake, hurry up and give me another
dose of that helpful dope!"
Another time when going to visit a
patient, a Great Dane came hopping
toward us holding up one foot, and
whimpering in distress. He stoppfd
at once when I called, "What's the
matter, old fellow?" and let me look
at his foot. The cause of his suf
fering was apparent. A big pin was
buried to the head in his paw. Seiz
ing it with forceps. I plucked it out
-—then you should have seen that
dog! Away he went with a "wouf!
wonf!*' of Joy, running in a wide
circle, returning to my feet, woufing
again with happiness, until he had
made three trips expressive of thank
fulness and then went on his way re
joicing.
Pain has been defined as undue
pressure upon sensory nerves.
Animals possess these nerves just as
do people, and also the cerebral cen
ters to which they transmit their
message of misery. Some animals,
how< v. r, are less "high strung” In
nervous sensibility than others. The
horse, for example, suffers more
acutely than the cow or stieep, and
gives plainer expression to pain than
do the ruminants. Yet X have seen
pain quite plainly evinced by many
supposedly stupid, senseless cow To
til - trained and appreciative observer
symptoms of pain are as noticeably
expressed by other "dumb" animals.

“You’re a sweet, pretty girl," Is a

Yet a dear little chap warbles all day

And he sings It to me, tho’ I'm lone

When the day Is warm, when the day
is cold.
Still he sings in the sunshine and
sings in the rain,
Till my reticent heart Is entuned

And, forgetting my sorrow, I smile
to the world,
For the meadow lark sings, “You’re

Another Item which Postmaster Pia
seckl's trained speakers urge Is early
mailing. The office man is inclined
to let letters lay In his basket until
quitting time. And so 80 per cent of
the day's mall pours Into the post
office between 5 and 7 o'clock. Post
office employes must be kept busy
all of their eight hours. The depart
ment cannot afford, if it could get,
extra help for a two-hour shift. As a
result of this late mailing habit Im
portant letters are liable to miss
trains.
This plan of educating the public
Is a local Idea which Is being watched
with interest from Washington. It
Is being extended to Include guides,
who take visitors through the post
office and explain Its services. And
it Is hoped that in time there will be
no disappointed patrons—like the wo
man with the letter that “really must
arrive tonight," who when she was
told that she had missed the day's
last traain, triumphantly announced,
‘U ell. I'll get It there anyway. Please

Whopper*.
From the Port n <1 J. urnsl
A New York farmer told this story
to a reporter;
The fanner came tn from the field
with a load of oats and left It stand
ing near his barn. A few momenta
Inter a whirlwind formed, etruck the
load of oats and carried It Into the
barn without damaging anything.
This yarn deserves a place beside
ether immortal whoppers. Wasn't it
Bill Nye who contributed one when
he related that while riding home on
his orphan mule Boomerang, bearing
a Jug of pre-Volstead vintage, there
came up a wind so etrong that It
blow the Jug Inside out, and then,
suddenly reversing Itself, blew the
jug right again, without wasting any
of Its contents?
Two other classics of the kind may
ha recalled. A Nebraskan was telling
a Canadian how cold It got In Ne
braska and what a lasting impression
the severe weather made. One ex
tremely warm summer day a barn In
which popcorn was stored took fire.
The corn begnn to pop and soon fell
in such showers that It resembled a
snowstorm. A mule. Imagining he was
In a Nebraska billiard, lay down and
from to death.
The Canadian, not to be outdone,
said the cold In Alberta was keener
than that In Nebraska. “It gets so
cold up there sometimes In winter,”
he narrated, “that the noise of a
train's whistle, ns It shoots across the
prairie, often freezes before the eeho
fades away, and if you happen to pas*
that spot again on the first spring
day when things begin to thaw out,
you’ll again hear the noise of the
whistle as It Is freed from Its frozen
state, nnd If you didn’t know other
wise you’d surely think another train

If all the hearers of malicious tnle*

Pinchot and Prohibition.
Oxford. Nob.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: Governor Pinchot lias
got into the limelight by his sensa
tional and senstlei s charge that Cool
idge is to blame for the disrespect
shown the liquor laws, fcipvaking with
the air of a dictator he says "that
it is the president's duty to bring nil
government forces into concrete at
tack on violators,” and insinuates that
this has not been done; thus besmirch
ing the name of the beloved Harding.
Would it not be well for Pinchot to
clean house In the commonwealth
over which he presides as chief mag
istrate before he aspires to prescrilie
the duties of the president? This
egotist says "we must Insist on a
complete separation of politics from
enforcement of the 18th amendment.”
Who Is we? Who cares whether the
amendment Is enforced with politics
or a six shooter?
Politics is defined by Webstar as
"the science of government," and it
Is not politics that is endangering nur
constitution hut dernogogism, of which
we have an abundance. It comes with
poor grace for Pinchot, who was
elected with blare of trumpets as a
reformer who would compel all Penn
sylvanians to live up to the 18th
amendment and yet saloons floursh
right under his nose. Recently he
gave out that he would settle the coal
strike, and after the papers had
played up his bluff in glaring head
lines, he backed down and comprom
ised with the miners who had elected
him by giving them more than they
had expected and charged the cost up
to the consumers of coal. This re
former who made the welkin ring
with denunciation of the sales tax. up
holds a heavy tax on the consumers
of Pennsylvania anthracite. He also
upholds a law that forbids mining
coal only by those licensed by a union
controlled bureau, which also adds to
the price of coal. Pie and followers
in congress hounded a United States
senator because lnrge sums of money
had been used by his friends in the
primary campaign, and this senator,
though a loyal citizen, was forced to
resign.
When Pinchot wanted to he gov
ernor he spent money like a drunken
sailor, and his wife rolled out her
barrel for good measure. Then his
congressional admirers acclaimed his
election as a victory for th“ common
people and declared he would he the
next president. Here we have the
very plain reason for bis sinister at
tack on the president under pretense
that he has discovered the cause why.
he says, the 18th amendment Is a fail
ure. Pinchot on entering office made
oath to uphold and support the < n
stitutlon of the United States and
the constitution of Pennsylvania,
and that Indues the 18th amendment.
Has he done it, with saloons running
wide open in his state? He had a
wonderful opportunity to put his en
forcing ability to the test, but cowed
before the liquor men. and then tries
to fool the people that the cause f ir
his cowardice rests upon the pres!
dent. A. C. RANKIN.
Would Bond All Drivers.
To the Editor of The Omaha Bee:
Enclosed find ballot on proposed li
cense law duly marked. I am In fa
vor of such a law, but would go one
step further and require every per
son who takes out a license to put up
a bond suff.cently large to cover
any property damage that he might
do.
I Would require the bond for two
reasons. F.rst: About SO per cent
of the reckless drivers of automobiles
are financially Irresponsible and the
careful man who gets his property
smashed up has no chance to re
cover. While you are making a law
it should be made to protect the
careful man. The man who Is finan
cially responsible as u. rule cannot
afford to be reckless Second: We
know that If such a law Is passed
that It Is not going to 1-e enforced,
at least not until you ran get a set
of enforcement officers who ih nk
more of their oath than they do of
their Job and a set of executives
who have learned to be loyal to their
employes, but If every person who
jdrives a car la required to put up
a bond the bonding companies will
see to It that the persons they is
sue bonds to will drive carefully or
(hey will refuse to give them the
required bond which will keep the
reckless driver off the road and
street even If the officers don't «n
force the law. C. F. BEHR. .
Menace of hpeerters.
To the Editor o. The Omaha .Bee:
I enclose my ballot for the licensing
of auto drivers.
May I also suggest that the boule
vards, and such other streets as bear
heavy motor tiafflc, such as St
Marys, Harney, Karnara, Dodge,
Leavenworth, North Sixteenth, etc.,
etc., be declared boulevards, and
that all cars turning Into these
streets he brought to a full stop be
fore such turn, or proceeding.
Proper signs should be erected at
these intersections, and lights pro
vided for them at night. This is being
successfully practiced In Chicago,
where * traffic problems are unus
ually great. Their system of traffic
and boulevard slvns and lighting
may well be studied by our own city
fathers.
Speeding still continues, and head
lines dally proclaim more casualties,
ft Is needless, and utterly criminal.
Just last evening, while my wife and
I were crossing Eighteenth and
Douglas streets to get to our own
car a machine bearing an Iowa li
cense and driven by a boy not over
16, accompanied by three other mi
nors, whizzed past, and nearly ran
us down, their speeding being at
least 30 miles and hour, and I can
Judge speed, as I have driven for
five years or more steadily.
I sincerc-ly trust that your cam
paign will beget real results, and
wish you success In Its accomplish
ment. B B. PITHEU.

A Savings Account in a bank differs
from a Checking Account in two par
ticulars:
(1) The bank pays interest on the
Savings Account but not on
the Checking Account
(2) The depositor c/uinot draw
cheeks on the Savings Ac
count.
