MAKING PUNISHMENT FIT CRIME.
A committee of Omaha detectives is visiting Lin
coln to interest the legislature in the matter of put
ting tdeth in the criminal code. Just to get the mat
ter before the house, these detectives move that cer
tain definite penalties be attached to different crimes.
For example, burglary in the night time will be pun
ishable by imprisonment for life. A sufficiently se
vere penalty is urged for conviction for a series of
specified offenses.
We are heartily in sympathy with the idea, if not
with the method. Dread of the law does not reside
in any terror it may inspire, but in its majesty, its
inexorable operation. Let the prisoner be assured
in advance that he will have to pay a penalty, and
he will not take a chance so frequently.
Let us here renew the proposal several times
made, that to the merely punitive section of the law
a retributive function be added. Require that the
thief restore what he stole, either in money or in
kind. Compel the one who damages property to
1 make the owner whole. Impress on the person con
templating mischief or crime that he will be forced
to pay in money or in labor for all he destroys, dam
ages. or converts to his own use. It may take all
ha can earn in a lifetime of work, or more, but
reqilA It with exactitude.
Such a law would take a lot of the fun out of
the venture. Now it is possible to steal and never
repay, to break up property and not replace it. The
actual loss falls on the victim, who has no recourse.
If restitution and compensation accompanied every
sentence pronounced by the court, thievery and the
like would lose much attractiveness. Those who re
‘ gard crime as a substitute for work might not relish
the prospect of working for a “dead horse.”
"THE BRITISH AERODROME.”
Those who have been reading the fascinating
rtory of the Round the World Flight, now appear
ing serially in The Omaha Bee, must be impressed
by the numerous references to “the British aero
drome.”
All the way across India the fliers found the
hospitality of British flying officers on British
flying fields. Modernly constructed hangars of
cement in those far away places. At the same time
that the story of the world fliers has been reveal
ing British air equipment in the Far East, 'Arthur
Brisbane, in his column To-Day, has been urging
upon America, “preparation in the aif.”
It would seem that in far away India the British
have as many aerodromes as we have in our own
country. Should the world again be cursed by war
it will be fought in the air.
History is a long record of wars. There is noth
ing to show that we have reached that millenium
that means the end of war.
The United States is as helpless In the air as
Germany, the slapped and whimpering child of
Europe. If we do remedy this situation we may
find some day that we are too late. Soldiprs with
bullets and cannon ball will not fight the next war.
It will be carried on with airplanes, poison gas and
disease germs.
Revolting to think of? Yes, but we’d better
think of it.
LAW MACHINES IN ACTION.
Forty-four lawmaking machines aee now steadily
nt work grinding out laws, congress and the legisla
tures of 43 states. That reminds us of the story
of tha profane but charitable man suddenly con
verted. At the midweek prayer meeting he was
called upon to pray, and proceeded to ask the Al
mighty to look after the poor. He asked that every
deserving family be provided with a barrel of flour,
a barrel of pork, a barrel of kraut and a barrel of
pepper. Then, realizing that he had gone too far, he
exclaimed: “0 h—1, that’s too much pepper!”
This country has too much lawmaking machin
ery. There are too many lawmakers, and they meet
too often. Too many laws are passed, and not
enough laws are enforced. More than two million
! laws cumber the statute books, federal and state.
The country needs a rest.
TALKING FOOLISHNESS.
The first thing a young fellow does when con
victed of crime in Nebraska is to put up the plea,
“I never had a chance." He knows better. He
knows that he has had every chance in the world.
The trouble with him was that he would not accept
them.
There isn’t a boy In Nebraska who enjoys aver
age health and possesses average brain capacity who
can not work his way through school and fit himself
for honest and decent manhood. If he fails it is be
cause he is lazy and shiftless, or prefers to mooch his
way rather than earn his way. In the old days the
criminal put up the pitiful plea that it was “booze.”
Now his plea is “I never had a chance.” Prohibition
has not yet emptied the prisons, and all the wenlth
of opportunities for education and advancement
have not served to appreciably deter crime. Ninety
nine times out of 100 the criminal commits a crime
because he would rather be dishonest; because he
prefers to steal rather than work. The criminally
inclined know that a criminal excites the sympathy
of the maudlin and can get favors that an honest
poor man may never hope to have.
It is high time society turned a deaf ear to this
“never had a chance” foolishness and make crim
inals understand that punishment inflicted fits the
crime. Maudlin sympathy must give way to common
sense in the treatment of violators of the law.
CODS OF THE MOUNTAIN.
Long’s peak looms up within easy view of Den-t
ver, a magnificent prospect and a perpetual invita
tion to the hardy and adventurous. It has been
surmounted so frequently that its summit is familiar
to many. A few days ago a young man and woman
made the trip. Reaching the top in safety, they
started back, satisfied with the day. Then, as in
the Dunsaxiy drama, the gods of the mountain ex
erted themselves. A sudden gale of icy wind
whipped over the peak and down the side of the
mountain, and the girl was frozen to death. The
youth escaped, and a rescue party went to recover
ihe body. One of its members also perished.
Mount Everest stands supreme over all moun
tains. Its untopped head pierces the sky almost six
miles above sea level—29,141 feet. Such a chal
lenge to man must be accepted. Last summer two
Englishmen, George Leigh Mallory and A. C. Ervine,
climbed 28,227 feet, within 900 feet or the length
of three city blocks, from the absolute summit.
Higher than man had ever climbed on solid earth.
Victory and triumph just before them. Their com
panions watched from a lower point, anxiously peer
ing through glasses to note the winning of the crown
of Everest.
Something, not even the watchers so close can
tell what, happened, and the two climbers were seen
no more. Again the gods of the mountains had
laughed at man. But these gods do not know man.
Another expedition will assail Everest, and another
if need be, until at last the tallest of earth’s peaks
shall have been pressed by man's foot. If it were
not so, man would yet be dwelling in the darkness of
primeval forests, huddling in the shadow of a cavern,
terrified by wild beasts, shivering in the cold, and
suffering because he dreaded to challenge fate.
The gods of the mountains are terrible. So are
those of the seas, and those that dwell under the
earth. But no terror has restrained the soul of man,
who has penetrated every forbidden spot, and stead
ily is pursuing the innermost secrets of nature. It
is the Godlike in man that has moved him to triumph
over the lesser gods, and will sustain him until his
last triumph has been made secure. Otherwise he
would not deserve and could not win that heritage
which is his birthright.
"AIN’T NATURE WONDERFUL.”
We confess to having endured a shock on read
ing a bulletin sent out from the North Dakota Agri
cultural college. It declares against a cherished be
lief.
“As angels for a good man's sin,
Weep to record, and blush to give It In,”
we unhesitatingly admit that maybe Biddy is not
the industrious, self-devoted producer of hen fruit
we have hitherto esteemed her. The director of the
extension bureau of the Brookings institution In
dicts a considerable number of the hen tribe as being
indolent, parasites, star-boarders, so to speak.
Supporting his indictment, he cites several in
stances reported by poultry raisers. One will do:
In a flock of 84 hens a survey discovered 38 who
were “coasting.” They ate regularly, and laid noth
ing. So they were ruthlessly removed, and the re
sult was an immediate increase in the number of
eggs daily harvested. The 46 survivors brought forth
more than the original 84 bad done.
That looks all right as it is told. Yet it opens
the door to some justifiable inquiry. Did the pres
ence of the convicted 38 hens actually deter the
46 who were spared? Is it possible that »iie hen
wanted to play lady, and disdained to work, and by
her conduct so exert a pernicious influence on her
sisters? Or is it not possible that those who escaped
execution were spurred to greater endeavors by
dread of the fate that seemed to hover over them?
In order to survive to old henhood, did they not put
forth unusual efforts to satisfy their owner's lust for
eggs?
Either end of the proposition intrigues inquiry.
Supports as well the proposition that nature really
is wonderful.
One of the funniest jokes of the season was
perpetrated by some Nebraska boys, who filled a
moving picture theater with carbon monoxide gas.
They did not kill anybody, hut might have killed all.
The only way to make that joke funnier would he to
treat, those enterprising youths to a thorough dose of
extract of leather, well mixed with elbow grease.
Local Chinese will have an added attraction for
their New Year’s celebration, in the form of a par
tial eclipse of the sun. Something else was eclipsed
when “Meliclan man” observed the 1st of Jnnuary.

both were the next meeting of the latter to be held
here.
A “McGee” sentence does not look so terrible,
after the supreme court got through with those
passed in Omaha.

Omaha—To the Editor of The Oma

means toiling long hours at machines

no time for school, play or healthy

Every state now has full power to
make its own laws regarding child
I labbr. There are good laws and bad
ones, and five states with no restric

states need It most of all.

would last. "One punch from John,” said Harrison. Saw him
a year later and twitted hint about It. He denied he ever said
It. ,_
Meeting a fellow newspaper worker we chatted about the
Press Writers' club. Recalled old Omaha Press club of the early
90s. Was acting president for several months. We pulled sev
eral "benefits.” one of them Nye and Burbank at the old Orand
theater. Another was The Burgomaster" at the new Boyd,
club rooms on top floor of Bee building, later in Patterson
block. Club entertained members of Burgomaster company at
old fiohlltz roof garden after performance. Volstead was an
eventual ty of future time In those days.
Cancing across at Paxton hotel was re.mlnded of Uncle Jim
Kitchtyi. One of nature's noblemen. Nebraska Press association
was to meet In Omaha in February. 1898, nnd Edgar Howard
and the writer waited on Uncle Jim to get a rate for the mem
Iters. Uncle Jim said he'd leave It. to us. We suggested $1.59 a
day, American plan, but Howard said $1.25 was enough. We
submitted Howard’s rate to Uncle Jim. and he said: "Don't you
think that's pretty high? Let’s make it an even dollar." Them

of the old printer gang of the handset days that used to gather
in the alleys waiting the call of “time?"
Remember the old clock in thp lour that surmounted the
Continental Clothing company building on the cornet now o - ^1
copied by the Rialto’’ Rome Miller's first catering venture in
Omaha was in that hulldinr. The amb.tlou* lighting scheme

thoroughfare. Those were the days when the Millard was the
leading hotel of th» mlddlewest. and the Arcade, just arrets
the street, wasn’t far behind. If memnrv Is not at fault Billy
Burgees operated a theater in the -ante block with the Arcade

Trip out over the Sherman Avenue line. That's the way
we used to go to the Trans-Mississippi Exposition grounds.
Way out In the country. No trace of exposition left. Fine resi

The Gland That
Causes Men to
Get Up at Night
The gland that cause* getting ur^^
at night Is known as the prostate
and is a notorious trouble maker. It
Is *stima#d that €5 out of every 100
men past 40. and many under that
age, have prostate trouble, which, if
unchecked, often leads to a serious
operation. The prostate surrounds the
neck of the bladder like a washer.
Naturally, when the bladder becomes
inflamed by poisons which the kid
neys filter out of the blood, the Irrita
tion spreads to the prostate. As the
gland swells, it closes the neck of the
bladder, making urination difficult
and painful and causing pains in the
back, head and legs.
An easy wav to treat these annoy,
ing and dangerous condition* is to
lake one or two renex p;lls after each
me.il. The renex formula has been
vict rious in thousands of such <-«**«.
One authority says it also has a valu
able tonic effect. Anybody wishing
