Wilson's Latin-American Policy.
President Wilson's first official
statement Is n declaration of his
Latin-American policy and convoys
to Mexico and other neighbor na
tions the slmplo information that
wo will support only such govern
ments as aro based on law and not
upon tho arrogant or arbitrary will
or purpose of any man or power. Per
haps this is the president's way of
advising Huerta or Diaz of what will
bo expected In Mexico before Its gov
ernment is recognized by the United
States. Such a construction seems
quite logical In vlaw of this state
ment:
Wo have no sympathy with those who
reek to seise the power of government
to advance their own personal Interests
or ambitions.
Evidently ho has Mexico in
mind, as well, no doubt, as Venez
uela, whore Castro seeks to regain
authority, and Nicaragua, whoro
Zelaya still aspires to leadership.
This was also tho attitude of Presi
dent Tnft. It wo aro to exercise tho
Influence of a monitor for peace and
progress on this continent, then tho
first thing is to command rather
than beseech the respect of these
governments and under no circum
stances countonance, much less en
courage, disrespect for law in them.

Street Car Civility.
A Chicago newspaper presents sev
oral cartoon illustrations of tho inso
lenco of street car men to passengers,
a thing much too common In many
citlos. Wo bollovo Omaha is bettor
off in this respect than some, having
experienced marked improvement In
rocont years. Tho goneral courtesy
and accommodation of our street car
men has come to oliclt comment by
strangers and it ought to bo a matter
of doepost gratification to us here. It
goos without' saying that over? pass
enger is entitled to respectful treat
mont, but nsldo from this tho con'
duct of conductor or motorman haB
a very important bearing. Strangors
riding, for tho first time, perhaps,
are apt to get their permanent Im
pressions of tho place and people
from the public sorvnnts with whom
thoy como In dlroct contact. It is Just
as easy for a conductor to bo civil
as otherwise. Undoubtedly civility by
the passenger will also help toward
civility in return.
Seeing America First.
A prominont lecturer and traveler
calls attontlon to tho inaccessibility
of many of our most scenic moun
tains as explaining why seeing
America first or last thoroughly is
difficult. Railroads, he reminds us,
have not penetrated those vales pf
beauty and romance, thus forbidding
instead of Inviting tourists. Of tho
forty national parks maintained by
tho federal govornment, he Bays,
only three are improved with roads
and hotols. Therofore he excuses
Americans, who spend approximately
1360,000,000 abroad every year, for
not taking moro to the "sea America
first" cry.
Yot there Is no need for dlscour
BEement over this, especially when
wo remembor that forotgn countries
have had several centuries tho start
of us in making their sconlo spots
accessible with facilities for travel,
nor over tho fact that so many of
our people lavish their money upon
foreign tours. Moro than offsetting
all the disparagement for us Is the
fact that America has tho most won
derful scenery In the world and a
people able and accustomed to travel.
It Is only a matter of time till Amer
leans will find moro enjoyment In
home travel, and thoy already find
a good deal. But wo need not ex
pect the railroad ever to traverse all
of our beauty spots. The transcend
Ing beauty of Bomo is of a character
that defies oven a railroad and
would bo marrod with one. It is
such rare places the real sightseer
most longs to visit.

Child Labor Law IJeail Letter.
OMAHA, March 11 To the Editor of
The Bee. Has -Nebraska a child labor
law? If so, does is specially except
theaters? I have wondered about this
several times. Recently at the Brandels
a great "attraction" was presented,
whose sole merit lay In the fact that It
was performed by child actors; one after
another of the vaudeville theaters has
presented children on the stage of late,
nnd this week at one theater two of the
featured actors are being advertised as
aged 7 and 11 years, respectively. Our
Juvenile officers and our social service
board, and all the other agencies that
are supposed to look after the good and
welfare of the community, enforce child
labor laws agitato for minimum wage
laws, and generally regulate society, ap
parently become somnolent when a show
comes to town with an Infant actor
featured. OLD FOGY.

OMAHA, Neb., March 12,-To the Edl
tor of The Bee: If there Is one thins
above another we like to see In this
country It Is a good loser, and If there
Is one thing nbove all that gets on the
ncrvcB of Intelligent people It Is to have
a writer on some mua-sunglng snt
show that he and his associates are a
bunch of sore heads.
One of our local newspapers (7) comes
out and, because .tho ticket It has been
supporting for the charter commission
was not selected by the people to do the
work, adorns such men as Alfred G.
Kennedy, J. W. Motcalfe. Victor Rose-
water and others on the successful ticket
with the title "city hall slate," and
further seeks to slam them with the
epithet ."Third ward."
Let me tell you, Mr, Editor of the
grand-stand-play-to-the-common people
paper, you may fool some of the people,
but, Instead of trying to Insult the In
telligence of the thinking people of
Omaha, don't you think It would be more
to your credit to play the game square
and, when good men are running, do all
In your power to get them elected?
The editor of this "g.-s.-p.-t.-t-c.-p"
(excuse me for not writing It out In full)
knows well that the majority of the
ticket selected to revise our charter jire
high-minded, able and Intelligent men,
thoroughly capable of assuming the task,
and this being te case, they should re
ceive hearty commendation Instead of
the reproachful write-up given them.

practical test.
Here they are:
Continue to court his wife after mar
riage. Occasionally take her flowers and
candy.
Remember that the Htte things, which
the ordinary man thinks of slight Impor
tance, means much to a woman's happi
ness. Spend all his evenings at home, and
never leave his wife alone unless busi
ness necessity requires It,
Start the fire tn the morning.
Never talk In Jest about other women
caring for him.
Try not 'to arouse his wife's Jealousy;
In fact, convince her that every bit of his
affection la centered In her.
Clothing and food count for little with
th,e right kind of a woman. It the hus
band displays the proper amount of af
fection. A man who thinks of the little things
that women prise so much In everyday
life, need never fear that a mother-in-law
will come between them.
