It is hard to realise that anything like the self-destruction of 'General Kogi and his wife, in. deference to a tradition of the dark ages, could de prive a twentieth century civilized nation of one of its foremost and dis tinguished men. The great military ???! ham nf th TJiieaian..TannPR war. ,who tempted fate on a score of bat tlefields, by his own hand in hie old age, terminates bis-life that his em peror's sprit may have company in traveling to the great beyond. The mere recital of the act, and the con trolling reasons assigned for Jt. car ries a pathetic touch of sentiment well calculated to evoke the admira tion of the ignorant as for a great sacrifice, greater even than the offer to risk all for the military glory of his country. ... But it is a sad shock to those of us who had been persuaded that Japan, and particularly its ruling classes, had shaken off the last rem nants of superstition and semi- barbarism. It Is a disappointment to find this feudal tradition surviv ing in spite" of increased intercourse with the outside world, and the sup posed absorption by Japan of the most advanced ideas of civilized na tions. Plainly, we have underesti mated the stubborn hold with which ancient customs grip a people, and have greatly overestimated the power to throw off such customs fully and completely within he span of one generation. w.

If it is free tolls for pedestrians, the total now collected cannot amount to much, and certainly would not justify building another bridge when a small annual payment to the own ers of the present bridge would, no doQbt,. open a footway without let or hindrance. It would probably take a considerably larger 'payment to open the driveway, free to wagons, trucks, autos and pleasure vehicles, but even that would In all likelihood come cheaper than building a new bridge and maintaining it. If the people of the two cities In really pre ponderant numbers conclude that, a free bridge la urgent, ways and means of accomplishing that purpose could certainly be devised.

There Is a Robert E, Lee la pub- lie life today, but he is a congress man from Pennsylvania, not Vlr- tinia. life Insurance and Social Service. Addressing the meeting of the in surance presidents at Its annual con vention, a Michigan professor put forth the proposition that the com panies are not performing the social service of which they are capable. The medical examinations are too strict, he said, the lines being too closely drawn in the selection of risks. He advocated the group plan, whereby the bodies of ten men are insured without regard to the Jnedl- cal Inspection. , This opens for possible debate the whole-theory of life Insurance, and its responsibility to' society". ' ft will, be readily admitted that a greater social service . is possible by the companies, but whether they are to be regarded in the light of quasi publit benefactors, or are to be con sldered what they have hitherto pur ported to be, associations of selected individuals, each assuming , some proportion" of the risk on the lives of all the others, and the whole cost calculated ' to', eventually pay to all the amount of Indemnity assumed, Is sure to develop a. dlfereuce of opinion. It' Jtd,:'ln fVi,et the njeet ing, where the supporters of tha'pro feasor's plans were .met by the argu ments from .'the; more conservative that the medical department the bulwark of safe life insurance, and that safety is more to be desired than sociability. Until the state takes over entirely the business of insuring the lives of Its citizens, the institution of life in surance will' not exhaust its oppor tunity for social service. But it is not probable that such a change will soon come to pass, and this forces the conclusion that for some time at least the risks assumed by life1 insur ance companies in America will be on Individuals whose bodily health and family history are such as will satisfy the requirements of a rigid and somewhat biased medical amlner.

Election Law Complications. J i, The peculiar complications precipi tated in a dozen different states by the sudden entrance of a new political party in the national arena accentu ates the defects In our election laws. J The presumed purpose of this legisla tion ia to provide machinery by which political parties may make nomina tions that represent the wishes of their 'members, and the candidates nominated may" be elected later in conformity with the choice of the greater number of the voters. Manifestly a law is defective that permits the member of one political party to determine the nominations of another political party. And the law must likewise be defective that per mits the" nominees of one political party to seize and hold places on the ticket of, another political party 16 the exclusion of its own candidates. An election law is not only detective, but actually subversive of popular government, that permits a. yot cast for the candidate of one political party to be counted for his competitor of another political party, no matter by what method of shuffling this double-dealing of the cards is brought about'. ! 1 " Unfortunately, most of our legisla tion i formulated to meet an existing condition without thought of unusual contingencies. And this is true of our election laws, whose framers had no adequate thought of the intrusion of a new-born party after other pO; litical parties had taken the field. No failure of the election law to afford the needed safeguard, however, can Justify or excuse the theft of a party label with the deliberate purpose to disfranchise the members of that party and leave them without redress. Uon of confidence, and another to keep down the cost. If the expense of cabled tolls is made small enough so that a few words more or less be come negligible, code communication will be resorted to only where secrecy is desired. The time and trouble of translating Into code and back again, and the risk of mistakes in transla tion, woukt In most cases offset the saving in cable tolls. - How-the lowering of the rate works at home will be illustrated by our experience with newspaper dis patches, which formerly were "skele tonized", by striking out all the imma terial words before sending, leaving the receiver to replace them. Except for cable news "skeletonizing" has practically disappeared. Our news paper dispatches are now transmitted just as they are written and appear in print without change other than the usual editing and condensation. The operation of the night and day letters for "domestic telegrams has been in the same direction, leaving no object to be- gained : by. cutting, out words at the risk of obscuring, the meaning. If we are not mistaken. cable mes sages in a short time, will likewise be written and sent In plainly read able language, and the code message will be the rare exception. ' Stay Ye Bowing Looks. Is some tourist trying to crack Jokes or is this a bona fide report that whiskers are on their way to us from Kuropet Europe Is aaid to have re- adopted them, but If they land at any of our ports we hope they will be de clared contraband and barred. This is neither the day nor country for the whiskers habit. We are a smooth shaven race of men and should not yield our spirit of simplicity to resurrected fashion. We can afford to trail in styles of this kind. Our neighbors over the seas are better suited to whiskers, anyway, than we; they have more time and therefore mors patience for them. Only a few Americans can be, J. Ham Lewises. But the spirit of the whole thing lies in this, that as the, smooth-shaven fe is the natural face, It is toward the naturalness of life we are tend ing, or at least, we like to think so, C0MF1LE.D rKSM DtE I II-" ' r 1 r SEPT. 15. 'v . Kimonos in4 Honeymoons. ' A preacher out west recently told his congregation that the kimono was one ef the chief hindrances to the continuation of the honeymoon begun at the marriage altar. There is as much in this literally as figuratively. Sloven dress and slothful habits never wona husband. A woman takes unsafe chances in risking mari tal love by unnecessary carelessness in personal appearance. Besides she ought to wish to make herself most attractive to the man who is most to her. Marriage vows made at the altar grow stronger when refreshed along through life by attention to the little touches that adorn even physi cal appearance, though, of course, love. Is not to neglect a firmer founda tion upon which to rest The wife who can but. doea not make herself as attractive at home as upon the street need not. wonder If her husband comes to long less for heir company. And, of course, the husband ewes It to bis wife to ob serve these same amenities that con duce to mutual happiness in the home. v The Habit of Thrift. Admittedly one of the benefits brought to us by Immigrants from Europe is their inherited habit of thrift and frugality, their instinctive desire to save. ' Native ' Americans will not belittle their need of some examples along this line, for though we have produced the colossal money giants of the world, the masses of t .... our native-born citizens are much better, spenders than savers. ' The Christian Science Monitor raises an interesting question when it asks for an approximate estimate cf the effect cf the American habit Of spending on the European habit of saving. 1 . Admitting tW the pres ent generation of aliens probably will conserve their thrift, what about the succeeding generations? Will they perpetuate ' the inheritance of their fathers, or yield to the American in fluence? f '' The native American displays more apparent aptitude for. ready acquisi tion of wealth than his immigrant friend, and yet usually lacks the lat ter' frugality. It is easy to agree with the Monitor in the need of a general national tradition of thrift In the United States, and if out of the contact andexperiences with our friends from abroad we acquire it we may feel sure of having reaped profitable mutual rewards of our relationship. Thirty Years Ago The last day of the state fair had the attendance swollen by the school children. Another gathering of suffragists, this time the National Women's Suffrage as sociation, will hold forth in Boyd's opera house week after next The call is signed by May Wright Bewell as chair man and Rachael A. Foster as corre sponding secretary. . . . What The Bee did to the fakirs, gam biers and graftera constituting the camp followers of the fair in a graphic writeup could not have left much to be said. The Old warehouse formerly occupied by Steele & Johnson on Ninth street has been repainted and bears the name of the Consolidated Tank Line company. , The" work of grading Ninth street progresses, that portion in front of Bishop O'Connor's residence having been cut down several feet.

"Why," asks an exchange, "does one gnaw away at chewing gum after the flavor is gone?" For the sa,me reason, doubtless, that one puts it in i lis or Jher mouth in the first place. The Question of a Free Bridje. Our little weekly contemporary, the' Chancellor, .which assumes to speak for the newly organized asso ciation of Omaha retailers, makes a plea for a free bridge between Omaha and Council Bluffs, taking it for granted that the new bridge ''to loudly talked of tome months ago" was to be a free bridge,' and declar ing that "the commercial unification of these two cities Is. very impor tant," and that "the new bridge would help to solidify us," proceeds to discuss the question of how best to raise the money to build It. Unless we are mistaken, however, the new bridge referred to was never expected by its promoters to be "a free bridge," but rather another rail road bridge to relieve the congestion of the present Union Pacific bridge. So far as facilities for pedestrian and vehicle traffic between the two cities are concerned, the existing bridge is by no means overtaxed, and another bridge for that purpose would he needless duplication. It it Is a free Coal aid Cost of Living. Coal is a big factor in the cost of living.- Yet the United States is rich In coal. Wyoming alone, geologists tell us, has locked Vithin its bosom 400,000,000,000 tons which is vlr: tualiy an inexhaustible supply. Penn sylvania still teems with its valuable anthracite, yet anthracite is steadily higher in price than It was, with the tendency still upward. The 'reason assigned is a diminished output this season. And therein lies much of the problem ofnhe high cost of living. We must not expect to reduce prices to a lower level without increasing our production. Unmined coal cuts little figure to our comfort. In no practical way do these Inexhaustible supplies of fuel lying locked in the earth benefit present humanity. Na ture, has done her part, but we must do ours. While preaching In tensive agriculture to our tillers of the soil as a means of making pro duction keep pace with consumption, it is folly not to apply the same prin ciple to other fields of operation where waste and poor methods en hance cost. Millions of peosle will this winter pay a tremendous toll to our want of foresight in the mining of coal alone. , An applicant for favor of the State Board of Pardons has filed, among other testimonials, a recommenda tion signed by the governor. Ina much as the governor appoints the pardon board, whose action is only advisory until stamped with the gov ernor's approval, the rest of it must be merely going through the form. "Yon know I have been with -you since the start," Colonel Roosevelt told 'same Minneapolis suffragists. What the suffragists know is that he has been with them since about 1,000,000 women came into posaeB' sion of the right . to " vote. Before that he was dead against them. But still, what's that between friends?

But the tears ceased to flow, and the look of troubla went away from the little brown face when the big, rough man slipped Into the little boy's hand enough money to pay tor the brok en bottle and for another bottle of milk.

One of the saddest scenes ever enacted In a Nebraska court was staged by an angry father of a beautiful young worn an. The girl had been wronged by a man. . The man was wealthy. The father of th&t sensitive and refined girl brought the man into court and sought to make him provide a large sum of money for support ot the girl and her unborn babe.
