Downing the Dope Distributer.
A systematic movemont Is under
way throughout tho country to chock
tho dopo evil by stopping Its distribu
tion at tho source, To this end bills
havo boen presented In various legis
latures, Including Nebraska, prescrib
ing stringent regulations to restrict
the sale of cocaine, morphine nnd
similar poisons, and Imposing penal
ties severe enough to dotor viola
tion. Spoaklng with reforonco to the bill
proposed In New York, the Outlook
says:
Tho evil .done through this drug- Is all
but incalculable. It Is sold to the
wretched; victims by unprincipled drug
gists, and' It is alleged that unscrupulous
physicians often. furnish oocoino; and it
Is known that tho drug Is sold on tho
streets by men who carry It In small
quantities. This law. lias one very ef
fective prevention, namely, that ' overy
prescription should bo filed by the drug
gist,, should be filled orjly once, and that
no 'copy of It should bo furnished.

Hob Murder.
Two young nogrocs nro lynched

satisfaction of tho mob. Hore, then,
Is tho spectaclo of an innocent man
torturod to death under falso ac
cusatlon of a foul crlmo. And thus
far, apparently, the great state of
Mississippi has mado no move toward,
punishing tho murderers.
Tho numbor of lynchlngs In this
country, though no longer conflnod
to a section, is steadily diminishing,
but how long will UiIb continue with
silent immunity accorded in such
oxtromo cases. Tho last thing to be
said against lynching is sufficient to
condemn it, namely, that an innocent

blood-thirsty mob than a guilty one

convention of their stato organtxa-l
tlon now that this city has been'
selected by referendum, vote for the
third consocutlve year In spite of
opposition, the character of which
It Is not pleasant to discuss. Under
tho circumstances the largo prefer
ence voto given to Omaha can bo
construed simply as a graclouc ac
knowledgement of tho city's hospi
tality and attractiveness. Bo, for
the third time Omaha will welcome
tho teachers and it has just as
many welcomes for them as they
will avail themselves of. The selec
tion of Omaha as the metropolis of
the stato for thoso gatherings of
men and women composing a profes
sion second In dignity and importance
to none Is most gratifying.

"George walked over tho car tops 'till
he came to the tramp and then roared:
" 'Git off! Olt now!'
"But tho tramp calmly drew forth an
enormous revolver, wid the brakeman re
treated over the car tops again.
' 'Well, did you put him off, George?'
the conductor asked.
' 'No, I hadn't the heart to,' flwrfl
replied. 'Ho's an old boyhood friend of
mine, poor feller.'
" 'Well. I'll settle him said tho con-
ductor grimly, and he in turn set off
over the car tops toward the tramp.
" 'Did you settle hlmr George asked.

" 'No,' was the reply. 'He turned out

The Greatest Ever
The suffrage parade In Washington,
March X is scheduled to outshlno the In
augural ovent.
It will do tho foreword, not the last
word. In parades on Pennsylvania avenue
Womon In charge of the arrangements
have taken seriously the report that col
lege students Intended diversifying the
scenery by turning loose a colony of
mice, and wilt provide cats to meet the
onset.
Lillian Nordlca, clod In clasato garb
and. as Columbia, singing "The Star
Spangled Banner," will . represent the
supreme moment of 'the great 'woman
suffrage pageant and tableau.
How many thousand men and women
will march In the parade cannot bn
predicted now, but all Washington be
lieves that the Inaugural procession of
the next day will be only second-rate in
point of attractiveness.
Tho suffrage procession will differ from
tho Inaugural parade tn that the latter
will swing to tho north up Fifteenth
street, passing the Treasury building on
the east and north, while the women and
their male sympathizers will forge
.straight ahead from the avenue past the
Treasury building, on the south, and
ithenco pass the west side of the building
into Pennsylvania avenue again.
From the hour when a herald, dressed
In yellow, carrying trumpet with purple
banner and proclaiming the message of
the now crusade, takes the first step In
tho great procession, until the national
anthem breaks from the throat of the
moat renowned American prima donna
Mme. Nordlca, on the south portico of the
Treasury building, the reach' from iht
capltol to the Treasury butjdlng will
present a scene of unparalleled Interest
Tho great procession, coming from th4
capltol and passing tho brilliant spectacles
on the Treasury steps, will march In
roview before President Toft at the yhlta
House and' thence on to Continental Me
morial hall, whore a giant mass meeting
the greatest ever held In Washington-
will take place. Speakers of national notn
will be heard, Including Rev. Anna

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.

that we aro getting a good many "com
missions." "bureaus" and "deportments"
to support by taxation!
Silver Creek 'Sand; A package of skunk
skins was rocently mailed In the Schuyler
postofflce. According to their opponents,
a number of "skunks" are trying to get
into almost every postofflce in the
country throughV appointment by the : in
coming president
Hlldreth Telescope; The usual grist of
bills to raise the salaries of various
county officers have been Introduced tn
the legislature. Judging by the number
of candidates that bob up along about
election time a fellow would conclude
that the salaries were high enough.
Oxford Standard: The senate admits
that It has seventeen unnecessary em
ployes and proposes to keep them, the
house has forty-two needless salary
drawers and proposes to keep them. This
mokes forty-nine supernumeraries on the
pay rolls and they cost the state $147 pr
day, for nothing.
York Times: A man of the name of
Hlnshaw has come out from New York
to discover, it possible, the remains of
the progressive party In this state. The
slogan will be sounded, tho beacon fires
kindled and an effort made to get enough
together to make a respectable corpse.
There la not much left of the progressive
party In this state except F. P, Corrick.
Keorney Tribune: A Dodge county rep
resentative Is particularly troubled about
the presence of a telephone lobby at the
state capital and wants to find out '
the anti-lobby low is' being violated.
Other legislators have had their shot at
the lobby. But what is It all about T
Why should an honest legislator who Is
firm In the faith in his own Integrity
want laws pased to prevent himself from
being corrupted by lobbyists T

Hntiir-Mfiklnir In the Illir Task.
OMAHA, Feb. 9. To the Bdltor or The
Bee: All the great questions of ( tho day
have their champions. Ah the wheels of
time roll on conditions change, and new
generations, new blood, and new ideas
follow. Sunday afternoon. Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw spoke In tho Brandels
theater, and a man was wanted to dis
cuss the suffrage question With her; her
could not be found. In an attempt to
criticize this great woman the writer
would fall. Her appearance on the stage
showed her education to bo of the
highest. Her rhetoric was perfect. No
play from that stage ever caused such
ripples of merriment ns her Illustrations
of fact and fancy. F"rom her viewpoint
the world will get better when women
vote or when they tell the men by
voice and voto where to "head In."
For a half century the writer has ob
served conditions among the commonest
of common people. Manyv times has he
been In homes where tho mother had
tho kindliest of looking faces. He has
seen sons and daughters In that home
who loved and respected her. The pa
rental love was there. Ho has seen tho
tired husband and father come In at
supper time worn with the cares of the
day. He wanted to tell his troubles to
some one. It Is then that woman can
assist In driving away clouds of sorrow.
No need of the ballot In this home.
There Is a responsibility coming. What
will love, courtship and marriage do for
them? Has anyone ever told them of
home building? Is -It not tho homes of
the nation that make It? Who is re
sponsible for the future! There is but
one answer. The parent of today.
"Knowledge Is power." Where aro the
teachers?
In an Institution not far away, are
over 400 children, all of whoso minds are
affected. Nebraska boasts of Its smnll
illiteracy, but is It not a fact that
such conditions are overbalanced here?
Human laws will never mako homes.
If it did technicalities would break
them. Tho writer does not say womon
should keep silent. Yet he begs to differ
with tho doctor.
What arc paretns teaching our boys
and girls? What are our Institutions of
learning doing? .Matrimonial bureaus are
being conducted by men in high places.
Is there a thought of the millions of feet
that will follow and homes that will fee
needed? TOM J. HILDBBRAND.
Methods of Teachlns the Deaf.
PENDER, Neb., Feb. 9. To tho Editor
of The Bee: I wish to call your attention
to a law passed In 1911, requiring tho
"exclusive uso of the oral method" In
the School for tho Deaf at Omaha. When
the legislature acted upon it they had
been led to believe by a few parents of
deaf children that this was the dpatrn nt
an parents of deaf In the state. This wo a.
noi tno trutn. They represented a few
who had but little Interest In tho deaf of
our state. Their children were In schools
In the east. They wanted tham tn h
different from those using the combined
system. By its use If a child has anything
in him It will develop. What parent wants
ms cnua forced by inhuman practices to
speak.
These few parents, together with the
present superintendent, are seeking to
imposo another burden upon our stale 'n
the way of" an appropriation' for new
buildings" to be used In segregating thetr
pets from the rest of the chil
dren, seeklnc to' Wa a wnv tn
have the instructors at tho schnnl
spend three-fourths of their time up.n
ineir select and let the balance go at
random. This is unfair to tho deaf of
the state. There are many who can never
accomplish the oral system, yet under
the combined ssyt.em can secure an edu
cation thot will enable them to make their
way In tho world,
The National College for .the Deaf at
Washington, p. c., uses the combined
system. The brightest graduates from
the .schools all over tho country go there.
Nebraska has eleven there nqw and they
uso the 'combined system.
I am a graduate of the Nebraska School
for tho Dpaf. I received my education
under the combined system, I firmly be
lieve In It, as it gives all deaf an equality
that cannqt be attained by the oral sys
tem. I hope every .one who reads this
will use his .or her 'efforts In' havlner that
law repealed at once.

Where True Teln Is Needed.
DES MOINES, Feb, 9.-To tho Editor
of Tho Bee: For ten years I have made
a deep and careful s.tudyof many med
ical books and magazines relating to tho
cause and cure, of all sorts of sickness
and disease.
In addition to this I have made It my
business to thoroughly study at cloae
range many Individual cases as found In
state and county hospitals.'
It you have from time to time rca-1
carefully the reports of the superintend
ents of state hospitals you will doubtless
have noticed In a great number of in
stances a small percentage of recoveries.
Man patients committed to state hos
pitals die or become permanently Insane
because of the fact that a large number
of doctors, attendants, nurses and other
employe in charge are not sympathetic,
care little for the patients' welfare and
are very often themselves actually insane
In the use of unnecessary technical
medical terms, poisonous drugs, vivisec
tion -and other needless surgery.
Yours In the Interest of those needing
true help and sympathy.

Another Phase of Depot Question.
OMAHA, Feb. 10. To the Editor of Tho
Bee; Referring to recent articles about a
new union depot for 1915, before urging
this so strongly, why not utilize to tile
fullest capacity tho depot facilities we
now have.
According to the last depot time card,
there are about fifty-four west and fifty
four eostbound passenger trains entering
the Union station dally, while there are
but fourteen each way dally at the Bur
lington station. No doubt some of the
tenant lines could make a satisfactory
lease with the Chicago, Burlington &
Qulncy for use of Its depot, which, wtun
built, was Intended for a great many
more trains than are now using it. By
diverting one-halt of hj traftia to each
dtpot( which are only a short distance
apart) and putting in a subway to con
nect them. It seems to me that the pres
ent congestion can .be avoided without

What we want more than anything else
In the. depot line Is more freight ter

from this than a Joint paenger station,

NO ONE STRONGER THAN HiS STOMACH.
The celebrated Dr. Abemethy of London wut firmly of the opinion that diuor
ders of the stomach were the most prolifio source of human ailments in general. A
recent medical writer says: "every feeling, emotion and affection reports ct tho
stomach (through the system of nerves) and the stomach is affected accordingly.
It is the vital center of the body ." He continues, " so we may be

" Boveral months ago I suffered from a severo pain right

Ooronl, Calif. " Had suffered from It, off and on, (or sev
eral years. I also suffered from heart-burn, did not know
what was the matter with me. I tried several rwilclnes
but thev did me no good. Finally, I was told it was my
liver. I did not dare to oat as It mado me worst. When
over I swallowed anything it seemed that I would faint it
hurt so. I grow very thin and weak from not eating. Was
told to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took
five bottles of it, and could feel myself getting hotter from
the first doso. I could oat a llttlo without pain and grow
strong fast. To-day I am strong and well and can do a big
day's work with case, Can oat everything and havo put on
flesh wonderfully. I will say to all sufforers wrlto to Dr.
