ono-sovonth" of tho voters of
Omaha participated, with tho Infer-
enco that the result does not count
But what are tho facts of tho caso
as disclosed by the records?
Tho total number of votes polled
In tho recent charter member con'
vontlon election, according to offt
clal canvass, was 5,687. Itemcm
boring that this was a special clec
tlon, with only ono thing at Issue,
lot us make a few comparisons:
Total number of votes at tho spe
cial election hold June 21, 1911, to
vote $8,260,000 water bonds, was
6,377, or 300 votes less.
Total number of votes cast at the
special election held September 2,
1911i to adopt tho commission form
of government, was 7,823, and tho
commission plan was adopted by an
afflrmatlvo voto of 6,477.
By way of comparison, It may bo
noted that at tho last regular city
election, held May 7, 1912, the total
voto polled, after a heated cam
paign, was 18,216
So that of tho possible voters who
might bo brought out, the number
participating In the charter election
was not one-seventh, but ono-thlrd.
Just ono thing more as to tho
stay-at-homes, The law of proba
bilities, on which all statlstlce are
based, declares that tho stay-at-
homes aro moro likely to havo voted

votod than to havo Joined tho small

Democratio Tariffs.
Slxtoon years ago a republican
president convened a republican con
gress in extra session to provide a
now tariff law to restore tho pros
pority that had been dissipated by
four yoars of democratic rulo, and
during these sixteen yoars the coun
try has enjoyod unprecedented pros
perlty under Continuous republican
control. Now another dcmbCratlc
prosldont Is about to convene a
democratic congress In extra session
to provide a democratic tariff, arid
tho country awaits tho outcomo with
aomo apprehension,
In a recent speech In New En?
land a member of tho Wilson cab
inot oxprcssod tho bollot that tariff
reduction should be along very mod
orato lines. Ho Is right in saying
that violent changes aro not needed.
Conditions call for no groat dis
turbances, even for redomptlon of
party pledges, and it should be re-
momborod at that that a vast mar
Jorlty of tho votes Cast at tho last
presldonlal election wore for candi
dates standing for and typifying a
contlnuanco of tho pfotectlvo sys
tem.
The Significance of It.
Somotlmes strangers see a sig
nificance In things not apparent to
those constantly closa to them. The
Lincoln Star comments upon the pur
chaso by sir Horace Plunkott ot
London of another apartment house
In Omaha as an addition to his in
vestments here as belying tho com
plaint that wo afo ovortaxed or badly
misgoverned. In other words, Sir
Horaco would not come all the way
from London to Omaha with his
monoy If he did not have faith In our
city and Us future, or wore he fright
Cnod by tho kicks of chronic
croakers.
It Is for us in Omaha to point to
examples llko this when Inviting
favorablo attention ot people residing
olsowhere.
Telegraph and Telephone.
The annual report for 1913 of the
American Telephono and Telegraph
company shows an Increase In gross
earnings for the year of $20,000,000
over 1911, which even the company
admits to be enormous. Yet the re
port contains no reference to rate's.
Tho rocont combinations of tel
phono ,and telegraph lines should,
with the resultant economies, while
tremendously ratslng revenues, also
Improve the service and ovontually
lower rates, Grant that a monopoly
In ownership, properly regulated,
makes for tho best service In tele
phones. It should also result In
cheaper service to the public.
Tho company mentions tho organ
ization and maintenance ot its em
ployes' pension, disability and bene
fit Insurance funds, which Is In line
with advanced policy and gratifying
to all concerned. More headway
has been made In modernising tho
telegraph end ot the business In the
last two years, probably because that
was the farthest behind, but to re
tain public favor, still moro progress
must be made, the necessity for
which wo feel sure the management
realties.
King George I ot Greece is said to
have contemplated resigning at tho
end of the Turko-Balkan war, cele
brating his Jubilee, then making a
tour of the world, visiting the United
States. After that he was to estab
lish his permanent residence In his
native Denmark and live in retire
ment. "Man proposes, but God disposes."

OMAHA, March 19.-TO the Editor of
The Bee: I don't call this a square deal
to charge a minimum price of 80 cents
per month. My last bill called tor 100
cubic feet, SO cents, while the one before
called for 300 cubic feet and the bill Was
79 cents. It looks as the reduction In
price, benefitting large consumers, has
to be made up by thoso who use less.
Supposing a. house Is vacant a month, or
a part of a month, do we have to pay 50
cents a month anyway? Let us have a
little honesty In the management. There
are plenty who do not use 50 cents worth
and will have to pay for a meter besides.

NOBFOLK, Neb., March 19. To the
Editor of The Bee: Who Is this Wini
fred Black who writes such folly about
Dr. Frledman7 Do you know anything1
about her? I do nott But I fvl mighty
pleased to at least think that she lives
far enought away from me with her
crude Ideas; especially the Idea she ex
pressed In the Omaha Beo of March IS,
regarding this supposed great Dr. Fried
man. 8he shows very plainly that she
Is one of thoso blindly rushing persons,
striving to bo considered polished, great,
divine and what not, by the laity, through
publishing some ridiculous article In the
columns of tho home magazine page,
published today In nearly every news
paper with a circulation of over 100,000,
and who will become cobwebbed and
dust-covered as soon as the homo maga
zine page lows Its undue prestige.
In tho first place, who Is Dr. Fried
man? Do you know anything whatever
about this man? Has he given a sem
blance of evidence that he can euro tub
erculosis? IIo has notl Let Dr. Fried
man equip a laboratory and experiment
on anlmnls like other research men do
and prove his supposed cure In that way
Instead of victimizing humanity. This
Is something ho has failed to do, and I
refer you to the American Medical Jour
nal of March 16, 1913, for verification of
this assertion.
If Dr. Friedman Is really faithful In
his desire to do such a great public good
as he pretends to be, why does ho not
give the Secret of his supposed cure to
the world In tho samo way that Dr.
Khrllch gave his discovery of salvarsan.
Dr. Friedman came to this country In
tho same way under which thousands nf
quacks are working today and It was
right in every sense of the word that the
medical profession Should prohibit him
from practicing. No one as yet had
been prevented from giving a good thing
to tho world. But the medical profes
sion Is becoming tired of Imposters and
swindlers and therefore demands proof
rrom obscure Individuals coming here
with startling declarations.
Probably six months hence the peonle
who fell so easily for alt that has been
eald and written about this supposed
consumption cure will know how badly
thoy had the wool pulled over their oyesV
The axiom "The American people and
In fact the whole world love to be hum
bugged" still holds true.
If Dr. Friedman Is positive that he
can accomplish what ho declares he can
and wishes to do , divine act. then let
him expound hla secret to the world,
so that every physician may employ the
remedy and thus bring- relief to suffering
humanity. Let him cast off that cloak "of
conceit that no ono but himself daro ad-
minuter bis "Turtle Soun" nnrt
World will do him honor and rIvo com
pensation without the asking.

Not yet hath nature, lovely colorlst.
Bestirred her from creative dream to

Soft flame upon the woods; may, not

One pleading maplo tip.
In carmine: all .the waiting world Is
whist
Alert to hear the first faint flutes of
.spring.
Not yet the tingling flood of blue and
gold
Is poured through heaven; but o'er the
misty .pond,
Quito as patterned silk, flushed sap
lings lean.
And tne auspicious -green
Through the deep woods and on the tin
path ed wold
Brightens In patient moss and wistful
frond.
Not yet cascades of melody Invoke
Tho holy down: but all the air per
ceives. By some fine thrill, tho rushing north-
ward flight
Of myriad wings despite
The nonchalance of this crossback oak,
fltlll cllnglhg to Its russet shreds of
leaves.
Not yet the laughing hld-folk of the earth
Thrust up while helm and coronet,
Sweet ellln host armored In gossamer
But gentle tremors stir
The conscious mold; now beauty comes
to birth
Under the snow's faSt-meltlng coverlet.
Not yet, not yet, tho yearly miracle
Is wrought; but ecstney Is on the wing,
And her divine, irrevocable flight
Is swift as all delight.
The heart is hushed, as for the sacrlng
bell. Awe-smitten by expectancy ot spring.

sponge or soft brush and draw It through
your hair, taking one small ttrand at a

by morning ttte gray hair disappears and
after another application or two Is re
stored to its natural color and looks even
more beautiful and glossy than ever.
