"Lot ua slow down," suggests tho Now York Herald. Jlovo to Include the 'Wind In that. "It takes sense to bo a British am bassador," observes an exchange. Yes, but It takes dollars, too. Tho public mind may bo diverted, at least, for tho tlmo from tho $8-n-woek minimum wage question. Washington 'Ib flooded with offlco soekors with no prospect ot the flood Boon subsiding.

"Olvo, and glvo quickly," says tho Detroit Freo Press in behalf of flood ufferorn. A good motto also for Omaha givers. Reports of; J. P. Morgan's Illness remind tra that money kings are sub ject to tho same bodily Ills that ordi nary kings are. Tho editor and tho business man ager of .the Wator board organotto should get together a littlo better It they want to do team work. If truo that Wellesloy girls havo set 15,000 a year as tho minimum matrimonial salary, tho girls ovl dently need furthor education. Lot It bo remembered that Omaha had the first relief train on tho road to San Francisco -following tho earth quake and seveu at one time. Another way to relieve the storm ufferors would bo to lower tho wa'tor rates as so often promised, "not next year, not next month, but now." Evidently tired of being . in the minority, Colonel Roosevelt now says he is glad he was dofeatod. Taft has admitted that ho expected all the time to be beaten. ' So all should be happy. The Detroit Free Press nubllshas a photograph purporting 'to be "the business section of Omaha wrecked by the wind." Tho business section ot Omaha was miles distant from the wrecking wind. Every one has come manfully to the rescue of the tornado stricken In this great emergency except the Water board that refuses to turn on the water for Iqrnado .victims, ln tlled 'gratuitously' in vacant 'houses, . because a few cents back water rent to overdue. I. Rcitorntlon Problems. When it comcB to planning rostora tlon ot tho tornado devastation, It is already plain that many perplexing problems will have to bo met and solved problems ontlrely apart from the raising of the funds In sufficient amount to pay tho bills. Theso' problems are chiefly prob loms of financial management, and are greatly complicated by pocullar and varying conditions. In many cases the damage done will be repaired or tho loss borne without calling for outside holp be cause oithor tho victim Is in whole or in part protected by Insurance or is able to moot the emergency from his own resources. . In pther cases, particularly where homes havo been bought on monthly payment plans or erectod from ad vancos from building and loan uhbo clatlons, tho equities will be adjusted between thorn, and this Is true In a moasuro whoro mortgage obligations rest upon tho property and mortgugor and mortgagee huvo mutual interest. Moro difficult Is tho case whero houses destroyed or wrecked consti tute tho savings and investment of peoplo not occupying them, yet de pendent upon tho revenue they havo been deriving from their rontals. Tho moro tho situation is looked Into, tho moro unescapablo is the con clusion that each cilso will have to be taken up and dealt "with upon Its own merits and Its own equities. That "Spare Us" Fake. "Spare us ' a special election," shrieks tho World-Herald In 'agoniz ing tones referring to the disposition of the legislature to let tho people of Omaha decldo whothcr or not they want that odious water district bill saddled upon them. "Spare us a special election," shrieks tho World-Herald editor, de picting in lurid .colors Its terrible ,oVJls as contrasted with tho regular goneral election, which,, ho. Insists, nlono can voice the tr'no.wlll of. the people. Then .whllo tho,echo,.jB still rever berating Ihd bilslnes's manager' of tho World-Herald, as a niombor of the restoration committee, votes to nsk the legislature to glvo ub a special election at once so tho peoplo' may authorizo tho issuo of $1,000,000 in rollof bonds. Is a special election all rjght to let tho people voto 11,000,000 In a grout emergency? And all wrong to let thom say how thoy want to manage their water plant? The Insurance Code. Tho Boo does not hesitate to suy that in Its opinion tho enactment of the proposed Insurance code at this tlmo Ib at laast opon to question. This, codo proposes to change completely tho lusuranco laws which havo boon on tho statuto books for years and havo stood tho test, of tho courts, thus Inviting a flood ot litigation and an Intorval of uncertainty. Tho Boo boos no good reason for taking tho tnstirunco Buporvislon away from tho auditor and placing It In tho hands of a .board whoro responsibility will bo completely evaded. The last effort to croate an Independent insurance department sought to mako the governor respon sible.. Tho creation of a,i now and much moro oxponslvo insurance, bu reau under un Irresponsible board prom lues no improvement. Those familiar with tho proposed mensura as It has boon amended de claro that It contains contradictory, dupllcato and ambiguous sections, that it provides tests of solvency for homo companies without precedent, and places them at dlsadvnntago with foreign competitors exempt from tho samo provisions of tho law. They brpnounco It a "homo cbmpany klilor," which would cripple rather than holp build up homo Institutions with a field of usefulness beforo thorn. It soems to us that Nebraska boa been getting along tolerably well In recent years under Its existing Insur ance lawB, and that .thin Is a good place to lot well enough ulono. - A Strange Sunday. .Just such a Sunday aB yesterday Omaha probably novor know before; Throngs of visitors, como to view tho ruins of the tornado,, all day puraded tho path of the Btorm. Streots and street cars wore crowded nnd It Bcomod moro llko a holiday than Sabbath, except for. tho in a eked pros onco of a spirit of awe even In tho midst of the curloslty-seeklng crowds. At short tntorvals Jn (be congested" quarters women distributed tags for tho relief fund, which thoy must have augmented considerably, Many of Omaha's own people, uunblo during tho week to view the wrecks, took advantage of Sunday for that. On tho whole It was nn orderly, quiet crowd. The visitors wore welcomed, but wo hopo thoy will never havo llko occasion to -come-again, . One big.' factor In favor ofho'mq rule for cities Ib that tho peoplo with most at stake In the city's ma terlal progress and oivlc welfaro aro likely to rule It bettor than peoplo remote geographically and with no Immediate personal stake. Inasmuch as a special election is coming to vote relief bonds, which cannot be put otXj until 'tho .regular election" in 19H, thaf''spare-us-epeclal-electlon" explosive may as well be put la cold storage. lookiwf BackWattl Hits Dew in Omaha, COMPILED FROM DEC FILES 000 MAUOH 31.

What do the citizens ot Nebraska Intend to do about this asylum they run In Lincoln? Do they Intend to expose the foul crime to the awful light of publicity, or do they Intend to hldo it longer yet In the dark, where Satan und serpents breed with Impunity? What 19 tho matter with Nebraska anyway? ONE OF THE TORTURED. More Almnt Dr. l'rlodiiinnn. NORFOLK, Neb., March 29. To the Editor of Tho Bee: Tho stone thrown by the country doctor evidently struck a vital spot, Judging from the yelps emitted as a result. Tho Innocent snobbery about tho country doctor Is well taken, but It 1b quite generally con Cetied at the prbBent time by the wiser class of people that the number of Illiterates In tho cities predominates over that in tho country. The country doctor has reasons for knowing this, because ho has lived tho greater part of his life tn tho cities hero nnd abroad. He also knows that It Is fur better to llvo In u country home than In a city hovel. Tho curt missive refers to Winifred j Black as being beneficent and ln i telllgent. Through the article published some tlmo ago regarding Dr. Friedmann I and tho medical profession, she showed very plainly that sho is neither. A per son who condemns a profession that lias done moro for the relief of the suffer ing ot humanity than nil else In the world put together. Is neither beneficent nor Intelligent. What good Is accom plished by tlioso who laud a thing that has yet to fetand tho test, thereby throw ing tho mentally Inferior Into a state ot desperation, causing them to desert aP to seek the foundation of youth? Who Is tho cryptonym who replies with only initials as a signature? The letter spoaka ot Winifred Black as a present day writer. The country doctor knows of her through Insignificant articles by her published now and thon In the Home Magazine pnges of dally papers; that Is all anyone knows about her as a writer. Yes, Dr. Friedmann offered to treat people freo of charge to glvo him a foothold when he was Informed that the laws of this country required him to show his credentials and pass the stato board examinations before ho could practice medicine. These examinations T truthfully believe Dr. Friedmann hRs not the' ability to pass, or he would comply with tho law. Who and "what are these people wish ing to revise the laws to please them selves: nnd who would disobey the exist ing laws and retrograde to the primitive stage of life? We are no longer bar barlaus, and It Is as necessary In this civilized age to have laws protecting the medjeal profession as It is to protect society. .Why did Dr. Friedmann come to this country? He came when a New York banker offered .hi" JI.OOO.OOO fortune for the curing of his son-in-law. Of course. Dr. Friedmann would take tho chance that nature Itself offered, and In thnt way havo some hopo of landing some easy money. We iave moro men of this kind here now than wo can conveniently handle But tho world will always have cranks who will do honor to tht- worst criminals that ever diew breath They even go so far as to claim i"elat(onhlp or associa tion in'sonx wa." with tliem. from college cinims all the way down to their Voct blacks. It was a surprise to find Hint the one signing with Initials did not claim any of these.
