The Day of the Automobile.
Without entering upon detailed
consideration of the various elements
that enter Into Its whole, tho general
proposition may safoly .bo tnado that
this Is the day of tho self-propelled
vehicle. No Invention since tho tote
phono has so generally modified
conditions under which wo live as
has the automobile. Its adaptability
and ftoneral usefulness are becoming
to bo appreciated, although no one
Is raah enough to propose a limit for
the "machine." The Industry has
sprung up so suddenly, and spread
with such rapidity, that it Is almost
boyond tho comprehension of those
who aro engaged In It. It Is tho great
manifestation of tho forward move
ment of tho twentieth century.
That Omaha Is one of the most Im
portant centers of the enormous
traffic that has developed side by
side with tho automobile industry Is
a source of local satisfaction. The
great business steadily carried on by
dealers who have their headquarters
here is one of tho most Important
factors In Omaha's commercial and
industrial llfo. Their enterprise is
noteworthy, and. their success is de
served.
Tho opening of tho annual Omaha
automobile show serves to mark tho
beginning of another season of activ
ity by tho dealers, tho end of which
they, themselves, will not undertake
to forecast boyond the fact that it
promise to bo buslor than over
This Is cortalnly the day of the auto
mobile, The Man and the Many.
Our social organization has pre
sented one very peculiar nspoct for
many months, a singular manifesta
tion of tho development of tho in

fluences of American Institutions, Wo

thore all over tho country of a marc
setting himself up as being infallibly
accurate in his views, nnd proclaim
ing tho many to bo equally Infallibly
wrong. A member of a state com
mission, consisting of three members,
finds himself hopolessly at outs with
the other two, and goes before a
legislative commlttoo to point out
how absolutely erroneous aro tho pro
ceedings of his associates. A scien
tific worker Insists that only by tho
application of his Idens can sefcty bo
wrought out. A political reformer
clamors that his Is the only course
through which equitable adjustment
of social conditions may be hnd. A
preaqher arrogates to himself In
errancy on subJects7of religious and
moral bearing. And so it goes.
Whothor all this is the result of
ovordovolopod egotlBm or merely the
lack of perfect mental balance
nmttorn not. Tho world has long
jiatenod to the conflict between tho
man and tho many, and Is not ready
to docldo It now.
Fruits of Judicious Advertising.
The results accomplished for
Omaha through tho medium of the
publicity bureau of tho Commercial
olub for tho threo years ot its ex
istence, not only moro than Justify
ita maintenance, but form a cogent
argument for judicious advertising
in the advancement ot a city's wel
faro, Judicious advertising, of
courso, is not tho kind that goes
forth with a blaro ot trumpets,' but
rather depends upon simple facts
and conservative business methods,
The crux of success ot tho Omaha
plan lies, largely, in Uio convention
idea. Hero, for instance, tho an
nual report, of tho bureau shows that
last year Omaha entertained thirty-
three state and national conventions,
bringing hero a high grade of poo
pie from all directions. In a city
whose peoplo aro distinguished for
their hospitality and skill at enter
taining, that is sufficient as a means
ot propagating the city's interests
abroad. And that thla has been done
on an extensive scale may be verified
by tho record ot accounts ot business
firms of all descriptions. But tho
benefits are roflectod also in an
ethical senso, in tho friendships thus
wholeaomoly built up.
Impersonal Guilt,
With all duo respect to the polite
theory of Imporsonal guilt, punitive
justice individualises tho responsi
bility and makes the punishment
personal. All tho plastic arguments
compiled In defense ot tho old Idea
that a body ot men might do with
Impunity what one of them, acting
Blngly would nover attempt, are
crushed under the Impact of tho ox.
presslon of this fact, reinforced by
a lately aroused public sentiment. In
consequence we aro no longer excited
at demonstrations ot the potency ot
criminal clauses In anti-trust laws,
Time was when, though these iden
tical laws occupied as much spaco on
our statute books as thoy do today,
conservatively thinking men gave
s:ant or no attention to tho idea ot
actually punishing an individual
under this law for action attributa?
ble to a legalized body or corpora
tion of men.
Thua,whcn a scoro and a half of
otherwise most reputable men are
convicted and sentenced to prison
for violating an anti-trust law a new
mllepost In the progress ot Industrial
Justice has been set up. We have
found no new power inherent in oUi
government, but have awakened to
a new realization of an old power.
With this .graphic picture ot the per
tonality of punishment before us,
we aro no longer moved by the ven-

erabto plea that guilt Is Imporsonal
and social. Of course, it Is admitted,
that Imporsonally and socially raon

of a personal penalty, they would
not do and rather indulgently in a
desire to bo fair, we have palliated
tho offense as the result of it system
with a good deal of truth and justi
fication. But tho transport of good
fellowship has about run Its course
and a sterner senso of justice Is

The Norton bill providing for a
state conservation and public wot
faro commission, which hon the en

Commercial Clubs, has been com
mended also by tho State Conserva
tion congress, which ought to givo It
strong irapotus on its way through
tno legislature.
The purpose of this measure in
simply to advance the Interests of
Nebraska abroad. It contemplates a
permanent system for gathering and
publishing facta. about the stato, its
resources and people nothing but
facts. And Nobrapka Is sorely In
need of something of this sort. It Is
behind most progressive atateaMn tho
lack of any efficient statistical
bureau. Short-sightedness and par
simony have thus far deprived us ot
that Important agency. Tho welfaro
commission Is proposed as an ad
junct to tho stato university, being
oducatlonal in character, Much ot
tho work of tho commission will
dove-tnll nicely Into thnt of tho agri
cultural school, thus enabling tho
stato to broadon tho scope- of useful
ness ot this Institution. The meas
ure Is drawn as free as possible from
selfish Interest, the Intent being to
mako It ontlrcly public In its pur-
poso and character.
Not Necessarily War.
Following promptly tho president's
noto to Ambassador WlUon deprecat
ing1 summary punlshmont of Madero,
tho orders rushing American troops
to tho Moxlcan border with the ex
planation that they aro to bo In read
iness to enable the ambassador to
proceed with any measures deemed
nocessary, givo new significance to
tho situation. Tho president, of
courBO, has had all preliminary plans
made for tho lssuanco of Buch orders,
though It has not boon expedient to
dlscloso this to tho public, despite
tho din of adverse criticism always
to bo oxpoctcd under such circum
stances. "Tho sober truth Is," says tho
Now York Kvoning Mall, a strong
antl-Taft paper, "that President Taft
hns oarnod the thanks of tho whole
country by hla firm and patient de
termination not to Invito a costly
war by armed Intervention In Mexico
so .long as it honorably can bo
avoided.'1
But wnr Is not oven now to bo
thought of as a consequence of tho
mobilization of tho army, which was
rushed to tho border on the occasion
of tho last overturning of tho repub
lic. Huerta insists on national peace
and proclaims tho iron-handed policy
of Dlas to achieve it. And Porfirlo
Diaz, reports say, is to return to
Mexico, which is another Interesting
foaturo, tending to Indicate the old
warrior's confidence In tho ability of
the new reglmo to hold Ita own, After
tho failure Madero made pf his mod
crato policies, ono is constrained to
bellevo that the Iron-handed policy is
still tho ono for Mexico, which seems
no further advancod today than when
Diaz was at the height of his power.
Sidelights on Caesar.
William Faversham, the actor,
draws nttention in a current news
paper artielo to personal character
istics of Julius Caesar, distinguishing
between the Caesar ot the ploy and
that "almost genlualtke figure ot
history," Hla observations are very
interesting, yet from a purely human
interest standpoint some reflections
by Macaulay In "Fragments of
itoman Taio, ' written in 1823, are
even more so. They display an ac
complishment of the great Roman
not dwolt on by history, which a good
many men of distinction today have
been known by their intimated to
possess.
Flaminlus and Llgarlus are stand
ing in the Forum one warm afternoon
exchanging experiences ot the night
before down at Catallne's, when
Caesar approaches. Naturally after
he has gone, tho conversation turns
to mm. igarms asKs nuininiiiB u
he is going to Cataline'B party that
evening. "Not I," replies Flaminlus.
Ho admits Catallne's excellence aa a
host, with his superb cooks, choice
wines and attraction for tho .high
born beauties of Rome, but not all
these will tempt him to Catallne's
fagaln. It costs to attend parties at
Catallne's,
Just then Caesar reappears In the
distance. Llgarlus falls to admiring
him, It provokes Flaminlus, still
smarting under the loss of his coun
try villa and 2,000,000 sesterceB.
"He will serve his rivals in public
as he served me last night at
Catallne's," lamented Flaminlus, who
must have been a poor loser. "We
were playing at the twelve lines. Im
mense stakes. He laughed all the
time, chatted with Valeria over his
shoulder, kissed her hand between
every two moves, and scarcely looked
at the board. (Hard enough tor a

Rood loser to endure.) I thought
that I had him. All at once I found
my counters driven into the corner.
Not a piece to move, by Hercules! it
cost mo 2,000,000 sesterces."
By this tlmo Caesar has rejoined
them. Instead of salving the feelings
of poor Flaminlus, ho remarks with
tantalizing levity: "I can make love
and mind my gamo at once, as
Flaminlus can tell you."
Vice Segregation,
The social evil continues n per
plexing problem to every city,
spite ot all projected reforms and
experiments. While many municipal
ities are trying to solve It by doing
a.way with the segregation plan,
Cleveland, where reform has run
rampant at times, continues segrega
tion and regulation after an exhaus
tive study by so-called experts. The
"Golden Ilula" chief of police, Mr.
Kohler, whom Colonel Roosevelt
pronounces tho "best chief of police
In the country," has this to say for
the Cleveland plan:
We went after the women and told
them to move. Wo did not lot any sell
out. We did not tell them where they
oould live In Cleveland, but we did tetl
them where they could not, We stopped
music and liquor selling In tho houses, We
don't permit anything on the exterior of
the ten block- of houses ot that Kind In
Cleveland to distinguish them from uny
other houses. Those ten blpcks are there,
but none of you could find one of them
Without a guide.
Men with no other vlslblo occupation
cannot hang around" such houses In Cleve
land. Men cannot own or operate them.
Wc killed tho alliance at vice and politic
when we stopped thut. Wo don't arrest
thoso women, ahil by that wo killed the
professional bondsman, who Is worse
than any highwayman who over lived.
It the women don't abide by our rules
thoy have to Kt out of town. More than
half of them havo done bo.
Those still there arc a sort of auxiliary
police. They notify us tho minute any
one goes to their houso whom they be
lieve to ba r thief or criminal, and they
would not let In a politician ot tho strlpo
thnt used to graft upon them any aooncr
than they would admit a mad dog.
In thoory, at least, thore aro many
apparently strong, though not new,
features in this plan, which If practi
cal In operation, should rosult In nt
least as much good aa tho Indiscrimi
nate dlBtrlbution of tho vice over a
city, making regulation moro dlffl
cut. Thero is a good deal of common
sense In the Cleveland mothod, which
recognizes certain fundamental ob
stacles In any attempt to deal with
this lifo-tong problom, But this, as
well aB any other Plan, depends
largely for Its euccoas upon the vigor
and offlcloncy of its administration.
Farmers Organizing.
Tho farmers of Kansas who have
organized to build and maintain ele
vators and cold storage plants to
hold surplus crops ot tho primary
producers havo taken an Initial step
toward what many experts conceive
to bo a solution of vital problems re
tarding development of Amorlcan
rural llfo. Mr, Rooaovolt said what
tho country folk required was "bet
tor business, bettor farming and bet
tor living." Sir Horace Plunkett haa
most admirably shown that better
living, tho ultimata necessity, la yet
Impossible without first the other
two. It Is difficult to interest a
farmer on tho Bubjcct of social
othics, bo long as he is seriously
vexed with economic disorders, and
until ho Is Interested In othics to the
extent ot reorganizing his social and'
community llfo ho Is not going to
achieve the progress desired.
Therefore, any plan furnishing a
nucleus around which farmers may
unlto In a community Interest, Is a
step in tho direction of a moro wholo
Bomo rural llfo. Tho school and tho
church aro finding their taakB diffi
cult in tho country because of gen
eral disorganization, tho lack of any
common standard of co-operation
around which to rally tho people.
Everybody haa been going his way,
While tho city continues to perfect
Its great schemes ot organization, the
country has been almost entirely de
prived ot them, and farmers are
often at tho mercy of conditions In
consequence, compelled Individually
to compete with the collective mau
in tho city. Our "back-to-tbe-farm"
movements will not get very far
until we assist the farmer n co
operative enterprises, making farm
llfo more attractive to those who
havo left It.
Tho conservationists have Just fin
ished a very Interesting session at
Lincoln, and have turned out quite a
bit of good advice for the people ot
Nebraska. What Is really needed in

Growing Children

Aa a child grows older It requires more
and more personal attention from the
mother, and as the functions ot the
bowels are of the utmost Importance to
health great attention ehoud be paid to
them.
Diet Is of great Importance, and the
mother should watch the effect ot cer
tain food. A food will constipate one and
not another, and so we have a healthy
food like eggs causing, biliousness to
thousand, and a wholesome fruit like
bananas constipating many, It is also to
be considered that the child Is growing,
and great changes aro taking, place In
the young roan or young woman. The
system haa not yet settled Itself t( Its
latter routine.
A very valuable remedy at this stage,
and one which every growing boy and girl
should be given often or occasionally ac
cording to the Individual circumstances,
is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This I
a laxative and tonio combined, so mild
that tt is given to little babies, and yet
equally effective tn the moat robust in
stitution. At the first sign of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose of Syrup
Pepsin at night on retiring, and prompt
action will follow in the morning. It not
only aots on the stomach and bowel but
its tonio properties build up and
strengthen the system generally. Mr.

WHEN THE TIDE IS OUT.
Alexander Blackburn.
I stood by the shore at tho ebb of the
tide.
When tin bench erew each moment more
ugly and wide
There were moss-covered rocks, slimy
weeds and black mud,
All the beauty was gone irom tno place
TYliere i stood.
With the ealt-laden breeze came lhe
stench of decay,
And I said. 'The sea's charm has boen
taken away "
Then there came for my cheer this truth
which all know:
Aa sure as the ebb ot the tide is Its flow.
On tha shores of tho ocean of lite thre
are days . .
When the tide is at ebb and the heart
has no praise.
When the flotsam and Jetsam are strewn
on the strand
And our hopes are but wrecks on tho slu
blaekened sondi
When the fragrance of Joy has a sicken
ing taint.
And we turn from the scones with eyes
wet and heart faint;
Till there comes from above the blest
truth wo all know: ....
An suro as tho ebb ot the tide Is Its flow.
