tlvo enstcrn HtatcH, should through
Its leglslitturo givo tho deciding rati
fication of tho amendment for tho
dlreot popular cloctlon of senators
and mako it n part of tho fedoral con

onltion and would hnvo been a law
long ago but for the falluro to rouno
tho older states. In Nebraska, The
Uoo, through its founder and editor
tho lato Edward ItoBowator, has boon
a pioneer in this progressive move
ment, as will ho well remembered by
thoso familiar with tho history of It
It ifl, therefore, with special gratifica
tion that Tho Deo halls tho final
achievement.
This reform, llko all other rofornw
"worth while, requlrod patient, por-
slstont ngltatlon and publicity to

of tho task Is ono of tho stoutest
tributes to tho educational forco of

accomplishing tho end as this, with
out which tho abuses under tho old

Better Building Laws .
A civil engineer and bulldor, writ
ing to Tho Doe upon tho tlmellnoBB
of urging Improvement in our local
building laws, observes:
Jn making repairs' on somo of the dam-
need houses In the late tornado's path
havo found that In most cases wind
bracing has been entirely omitted. This,
I submit, Is criminal and should be dealt
with accordingly.
Whllo It may bo an opon question
whotlior houses can bo so built as to
becomo tornado-proof, it is not opon
to question that in Omaha tbero is
acuto nood for stringent building
lawB impartially and faithfully en
forced. Tho dofoct to which our cor
respondent callB attention Is, Indeed,
worthy of attention, as Jt touches a
vital point in tho matter of dwelling
construction. Tho Deo has for many
years urged tho Importance of hotter
building laws In which a good deal
of Improvement has been roallzed
and In moro rigid enforcement Tho
city certainly should heed tho toloran
Iossons taught by this terrible catas
trophe and apply thorn In rebuilding.
Opening of the Ball Season.
Tho base ball season is formnlly
opened by tho playing of a fow major
loague games. It was oponcd under
clouds in places, but those clouds
havo no slgnltlcanco boyond their lit
oral, present effect. No cloud hangs
over the gamo of base ball. It basks
and beams under tho glowing sun qt
prosperity, dlffusod like a benign
spirit ovor tho country. It is a na
tional pastlmo, holding men's support
with dynamic charm. Each year its
glory brightens, Its popularity grows,
Its fortunes swell. So tills year as wo
enter tho gates again wo may rightly
say baBO ball enters upon it best, at
loost most promising, cyclo.
And there Is Just ono secret In the
amazing succoss of base ball, It Is
not that It merely arouses and then
feeds tho gaming spirit for excite
ment, for contest; but It is that it
doflnltoly and completely defines and
satisfies tho character and demands
of American sportsmanship. In tho
history of sports from the Grecian
amphitheater and tho Roman forum
nothing has so completely caught up
tho playful spirit of a pooplo as base
ball with tho American nation. And,
though a professional sport, It has
phenomenally yielded to the demands
of a highly commercialised business
.without contamination, which Is,
after all, a most remarkable element,
osBcntlal, of course, to Its perpetuity.
Tlay ball!
No Duplication.
One of tho difficulties encountered
in tho rollof work Is to avoid duplica
tion not that tho duplication is
necessarily an Imposition upon tho
commtteos, nor always knowingly
done, but manifestly tornado victims
receiving help front moro than one
source are apt to be disproportion
ately provided for. It is known that
a great many establishments and In
stitutions havo undertaken to lend
assistance to their own employes, but
tho extent to which this has boen
done, and tho particular beneficiaries
of their generosity, Is not known.
Assistance given directly through tho
employer Is, of course, desirable and
pralsoworthy and should lift quite a
load from tho general rollef fund.
To make euro, however, against
doubling up, information should not
bo withheld as to the concerns giving
such help, even though individual re
cipients may be shlolded from pub
llclty.
While the state departments of
two nations are worrying over how

It do for tho British authorities to
put tho women aboard a ship bound

wheel?

SOUTH BEN'p, Neb., April 9.-To the
Editor of The Bee: It sure Is a terrible
thrill to know that the poor souls had to
meet suoh rough treatment In the tor
redo that so forcibly struck Omaha and
Yutan. What a consolation to the one
that was used to telling the Heavenly
Father their troubles and asking him to
be with them. He has promised to be
with us to the end and how natural It
would be to think he was the nearest and
best help they could call upon. While
things seem strange to us. It Is not
strange to Him. It Is sweet to keep In
touch with Jesus. The Good Book says
the prayer of the righteous avalleth
much.
My prayer Is that all may bo righteous
before another Easter Sunday, that they
may have on Christian garments and not
have to witness such a calamity as they
did, and will be enjoying the fruits of
Christianity; that all sing the song
"When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder
I'll be There." I don't think that every
time a cloud arises it Is going to be a
tornado, yet we ought to live such live
that we will be prepared, spiritually. If
we are not spared from death, to meet
the change of life everlasting.
While It Is one of the deepest thoughts
that the dear little children had to bo
bruised and mangled and killed, the sweet
est thought Is they were prepared, for the
Savior said, "Let little ones come unto
me, for of such is the kingdom of hea
ven." Thero is hope and consolation to
the ones that to part with near and
dear friends look to the one that can
save. MRS. TOM REDDICK.

OMAHA, April .-To the Editor of The
Bee: Preachers, as well as laymen, have,
In my opinion, struck a sacrlllglous note
In laying at the door of the Lord th
crime of the recent tornado, I am not a
church man, and there Is In me little
respect for the frazzled philosophy of tho
pulpit, but granting there Is some su
preme power; grant even that It Is a per.
sonal power, exercised to direct the des
tiny of each puny Individual who crawls
In the dust of the earth, it is only ths
height of absurdity to bellevo that such
a power a drunken, carousing god wouid
wantonly kill his subjects.
Certain flabby-aplned, weak-bratnej
men took the first opportunity following
this terrible tornado to curry favor with
their lord or else to gain a. bit of evanes
cent publicity by pointing a tremulous
finger at the wreck-strewn path of the
storm and with eyes wide in horror and
hypocrlcy cried, "a divine visitation
'Divine rotl Sickening.
Religion raised its cracked voice In pro
test and alarm when science sought for
truth. Slowly the more violent superstl
lions yielded, and the little blatherskites
who practiced them vanished. So went
witchcraft tortures. So faded the foolish
outrages of persecutions for blasphemies,
off springs of weakest Intelligences. Even
hell fire has gone, following the dead
doctrine of Infant damnation. A great
man came along and sought to heal tho
wounds religion and science suffered in
their conflict with each other. He hall
succeeded.
There are a few preachers today who
are broad-minded, clear-vtsloned, warm
hearted, modern Americans. They as)
few, They are the men who say "fool
ish" when thetr pitifully poor brethren
cry, "see what our Lord has done to
punish the crimes of His children."
Because negroes gathered In a dirty
pool hall and drank poison and made
themselves unfit members of society
would a humane, man-loving Lord of
the universe gather the exploding winds
and hurt them on an honest people, wipe
out their lives and their homes and flit
their heart with bitterness? Is the Lord
a greater criminal than his children? Is
He still the babarous king who considers
th lives of his subjects pawns, to be
played wtlh and cast away?
O, warring brethren of the church, b
more charitable toward your loving .-nae-ter.
Your kind of a- god the high-handed
murderer died In the dawn of the day
when understanding was born. Wako up,
O, wake up. The sua Is high.

Here and There
A New York woman has asked the
court to refleve her of the burden of
paying alimony to a husband whom she
divorced. The fact that the cast-off
husband married "something Just as
good" financially and doesn't need the
money, renders the payment of alimony
especially annoying to refined sensibil
ities. Jacob Bollinger of Huntingdon, Pa.,
who was born In 1E36 and 1 now E7
year of age. say that since' the age
of S years' he has scarcely tasted medi
cine and that he firmly believes, that all
the medicine he ever took In his life
would not measure more than a teacup
ful. Edward Courtenay Clarke of New York
tearfully begs the divorce court to sep
arate him from his wife Catherine.
From being a lamb of tenderness, Ed
says, she has become a thumping terror,
tn proof of which his cuticle Is deco
rated with lilac and blue signs of slug
ging. These symptoms of wifely "en
dearments" he would have forgiven if
Kate Hadn't gone batty on the "tea
tango." That's the limit.

GRANDMOTHER USED PLAIN SAGE TEA TO
DARKEN HER FADED, GRAY HAIR TRY THIS.
Mixed With Sulphur It Makes
Hair Soft, Beautiful;
Cures Dandruff,
The use of Sage and sulphur for restor
ing faded, gray hair to Us natural color
dates back to grandmother's time. She
kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy
and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea
and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell
out or took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance this simple mixture
was applied with wond'jCul effect.
But the brewing at hne Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays skilled chemists
do this better than ourselves. By asking
at any drug store for the ready-to-use
product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul

A CUBIST ROMANCE.
John Kendrlck Bangs In Life.
Tho Cubist married the MatlsBe Mald-
A Post-Futurist marriage
And honeymooning went, 'tis said,
In a wheelless, horseless carriage.
A lovely picture was the bride.
She carried pea-green tulip;
Her neck was In a bow-knot tied.
And brilliant were her blue Hps.
He gazed with wonder on her grace.
"Ah, how my being tingles!"
He cried. "Borne day I'll paint that face,
And bring out all the shingles."
She gave him O so sweet a smile
'Twas a mauve tomato
And on her cheek thero came, the while,
The tint of tho potato.
"I lovo you, Cubey dear," she said,
"Ab fish-hooks love the rushes."
Then shyly hung on biased head
To hide hor yellow blushes.
"I love you as the horseflies love
The eagle, only more sol"
And shed some sepia tear above
His terracotta torso.
He clasped her In his slatted arms,
And, heedless of reproofing,
He sang her highly colored charms
In terms suggesting roofing.
He painted them In dull dun-brown
fn accents far from stolid,
And when he'd got the last one down
Not one but was a Boltd.
A year passed by, and then there came
The harvest! Qulen Sabel
The parents catalogued the same
As Just "A Cubist babyl"
It has red ears, green Hps. blue hair
Upon its little shock head.
With slats and shingles everywhere-
A perfect little blockhead.
