iniiuu tYuiur uou.ru iroin me popular
fury, tho World-Horuld editor leU
looso a blind onslaught on "ijpoclal
elections" and a panegyric on "gen-
oral olectlong." From; the Intempor-
nto language hnd exaggeration, ono
would almost Imaglno a special elec
tion to be a pest like the plague or
tho tornado, and a general election
to be-the warm sunshine, balmy
breeze and gontlo rain of spring
combined.
Now, The Dee Is not inclined to
enlist on the side of tho "generat
election" or of the "special election,"
exclusively.. As a matter of fact tho
difference betweonHhem is In degree
only. Tho World-Herald man at
tempts willfully to deceive by reiter
ating that only 20 por cent of tho
voters of Omaha took part in .the!
recent special charter convention
election. Gauged by the Drocedtnsr
election of city commissioners, it is
30 per cent, and at that it Is moroi
than the vote at tho special water j
bond election, and a normal voto for
all our special city elections.
According to tho census the-num
ber of male persons of voting age in
Nebraska Jn 1910 was 353,626, yet
only 250,124 voted for president In
ivxi, wnicn was iz,0D0 less than in
1908, when 371,491 votes were cast.
In the state election of 19H tho vote
was only 225,380.
As between genoral and special
elections, thero aro arguments both
ways. The one thing to be said in
favor of tho general election is that
It usually brings out a larger voto.
Against this It should bo rcraom
bored that a special election permits
tho pooplo to decldo one or two ques
tions without having them confused
with other thllngs, or tied up to and
log-rolled with party tickets or per
sonal candidates, Nothing now pre
vents every voter from participating
In a special election except bis own
lack of Interest.
Our constitution makers favored
general eloctlons for constitution
changing to mako It difficult rather
than easy, otherwise had wo been
privileged to resort to special elec
tions wo would have avoided many
troubles. On tho othor hand, our
lawmakers thought It necessary to
have a straight-out voto to Install the
commission plan of city government,
and ,thoy mado adoption at a special
election tho only way for cities to
qualify under the law. Another
merit of the special eloctlon is that
it can bo had whenever needed,
While tho lssuo Is ripe, whereas wait
ing for a distant, general election
might dofeat the desired object alto
gether. . Wo suggest that tho World-Herald
man withdraw his wholesale con
demnation of "special elections," for
thoy are rlfcht and' proper In their
place, and occupy a big placo in our
schema of pbpular government.
r
Abolishing: the Third Degree.
Thq War department has abolished
the third degree as a means of ex
tortlce . confessions from rneal.
cltrnhtfl Aand civilian authorities
might with much profit do tho same
thing. The third degree Is a relic
of barbarism without a place in mod
ern systems of correction or reform
and involves on its faco a confession
of weaknoss by the powers practic
ing It. Aside from that, it is not
calcuatd to produce justice.
Many aman under pain or duress
has confessed to crimes ho never
committed,' asd the state has thereby
become a party to a crime. A splen
did Illustration of tho Inherent weak
ness of the third degree came to
light recently in tho large number
of self-incriminations wrung from
scores of Koreans by Japanese offi
cial, who later, to tho last man,
r- .dialed the alleged confessions,
declaring thoy were nfado ty escape
further torture or -death. We may
not go to Ruch drastic lengths in
this country, but wo should not oven
tolerate tho principle of tho thing,
and the War department has sot a
good example for others to follow
Free Legal Advice.
Those lawyers are to bo com
mended who have tendered their
professional services free of charge
to storm sufferers and it may be
c&too necessary to use their proffered
assistance In tho recovery ot In
surance. In this connection, It Is re
grettable to noto complaints already
of certain Insurance adjusters driv
ing bard and fast bargains with vic
tims whose homes wero consumed by
tire In tbe wako of the storm. These
cases serve to remind us of the com
mon generosity of tho Insurance
companies after tbe San Francisco
earthquake and fire In 1906. The
same liberality should obtain toward
Omaha's calamity victims and no
lawyer will lose by helping to pre
serve tho rights ot those who have
been damaged. Of course, all such
charges Bhould be first thoroughly
Investigated, but It verified will call
for severe condemnation.
Our old friend. Edgar Howard,
shies a brick; In tho direction of 'our'
newly acquired citizen, Arthur
Mullen, predicting that the gentle
man last mentioned "will look like
a discarded manure spreader- when
the Wilson administration hands
him what 1b coming to him." Now,
wo are not retained for the defense,
nor even ot the 6ame political party
with the two combatants, but in tbe
name ot humanity we protest that
thus is putting it on altogether too
thick.

Dr. Abtrnathy. the. famous sr-ntns .-.

once met his matclwln a woman. She
called at his office In Edinburgh
and showed a hand, badly inflamed and
swonen, wnen the following dialogue,
opened by the doctor, took place:
j-uurm '
"Bruise."
"Poultice,"
The next rtav tlm nnmui i-illaH grain
and the dialogue was as follows:
"Better?"
"Worse."
Two days latter the woman made
another call and this conversation oc
curred:
"Better?"
"Well. Fes?"
"Nothlngl" exclaimed the doctor. "Most
sensible woman I ever met.'-' Chicago

-Supper was In progress and the father
waa telling about a row which '.ook
place In front of his store that morning:
"Tho first thing I saw was one ma.i
dealt the other a sounding blow and then
a crowd gathered; Tho man who was
struck ran and grabbed s large shovel liu
had been using on the street and rushed
back, his eyes buutng fiercely. 1 thought
he'd surely knock the other msn'u
brains out and 1 stepped right In be
tween them,"
The young son of the family had be
come so hugely Interested In the narra
tive as It proceeded that' he had. stopped
eating his pudding, ijo proud was he ot
his father's valor his eyes fairly shone
and he cried:
"He couldn't knock any brains out ot
you, could he, father?"
Father looked at him long and ear
nestly, but the lad's countenance was
frank and open.1
Father gasped slightly and resumed
his 'supper.

W1LLIAMSPOUT. Fa.. March 31. -To
ths Editor of The Bee: The overwhelm
ing sudden calamities that have stricken
'our land the last few days are certainly
cause for solemn thought aa to their re
currence.
Omaha has our sincere sympathy; Day
ton likewise and the other places- less
prominent are all alike deserving our
practical aid and comfort. The generous
public will be glad to respond to the
calls for help and we may thus be like
the Good Samaritan in binding un the
wounded hearts and' bodies of our tt
fUcted fellow cittsens, as they would do
for us in like conditions ot suffering and
disaster.
These times of trouble will culminate
In a far greater time of trouble as pre
dicted by the prophet Daniel that should
cover the earth In the tlmo of the nd.
(See Daniel 12:1.)
We ore told that at that time DanleVs
people, the Jews, would bo delivered,
everyone that shall be found written in
the'book.
The Jews had a most wonderful deliv
erance by the hand of God from Egyptian
bondage, so we may believe that their
time of deliverance Is near, at1 hand
when Jacqb's trouble shall cause a return
ot their people by faith In God to bring
them out ot the Iron hand of Russia, or
any other oppressive, tyrannical rulers.
As these present calamities are per
mitted of a wise purport, the portent vnll
be very plainly revealed when Israel shall
cease her blindness and turn to the Lord.
We who are not blind can see tho
prophecies being dally fulfilled In the
Lord's dealings with His people. And as
we are told that mahy that are now
asleep In thelr-graves in the dust ot the
earth shall awoke, some to everlasting
life (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their
class), and these shall take their place
as the princes and rulers of the earth,
and those who hava died In hatred or
blasphemy to shame and contempt.
Let us have full confidence In the
ptophecles, believing all that the proph
ets have told us about these catas
trophes, as well as about the glad tiding
ot the kingdom of God, that the good
Messiah Jesus and His apostles preached
when upon earth. The kingdom of God
Is at hand. Your Messiah is here. Go yo
out to meet Htm, for as many as re
ceived Him gave Ho power to become
the sons ot God. ALBERT D. LUNDY.

God, give us rest from the storm and ths

We weary of pain.
The stress of our kindred, the shedding of
blood.
The wind and the rain.
God, give us peace, and the beauty or
spring, ...
The bud and the leaf.
Sad are the songs we are given to sing
Bowed down In our grief.
Is life, then, precarious rather than sweet
That we despair?
God give us courage for what wo may

Is It in vain? .
