Evelyn Arthur Boe, founder of the "Absolute Life" cult, will now havo a chance to see whether Ufa In an Illinois penitentiary Is absolute or not Pfhpa we had hotter lot Japan pass officially on our proposed method of settling the allon land law question boforo putting it into effect A bill to license aviators, presuma bly those 'making Interstate flights, has been Introduced in congress. Here's one our lato Nebraska legis lature overlooked, ' The sum and substance of tho Bryan-Clark troaty of poace sooms to bo that even a form of friendship Is better than nothing for tho Interests of the administration. With all this hornet's neat stirred up at the capital city by Lincoln's im ported evangelist, what won't Rev. "Billy" 8unday do to us In Omaha when he steps up to bat? Qovernor Morehoad retorts that Instead of making a football of pol ltics out of the Norfolk asylum, he Is trying to stop It from being so used. It's all In the point of view. According to dispatches, Upton Sinclair was quietly married. Upton made quite a noise about It the first time he hitched up, but there's no schoolmaster like experience. "There Is usually more frolic than vengeance In mob murders," ob serves the Louisville Courier-Journal. Perhaps, but the Joke Is bo obscured as usually to tall of appreciation by the victim. The special agent ot tho National Red Cross society tells ub, thirty days after the event, that Omaha did the emergency relief work for the tor nado sufferers vary well ao well, In fact, that It did not need Red Crosa help, Thankal After all, why should the Callfor nlans require a law to prevent them selves from gelling land to the Japa nee? Can't they do what they want to, and ft what they want to is to eell land to whoever has the money to buy, then why all this fuss? The New York World calls It "political swindling" when the demo crats dare to make pledges In order to carry an election, and then refuse to redeem them after they win out. Wonder what the World would call our Water board bunco steorers who fed the people of Omaha with prom ices or lower water rates for ten yetre. but now, ten months after get tins possession of the plant, still give tks-m the laugh Where They Got It. Tho Washington correspondent of tho Kansas City Star furnishes an explanation for tho crudltlrs and contradictions of tho Income tax sec I tton of tho tariff hill as Introduced. This part of the measure has been bodily lifted, so wo ore told, from tho old lncomo tax law that was in corporated Into tho Wilson bill of 1893, and later knocked out by the supremo court ns unconstitutional, without Inquiring Into ltsprovlslons further. In so doing Its sponsor has gone on tho theory that what was good democratic statesmanship then Is good enough now, to say nothing of tho labor saving convenience of picking up a ready-made bill only to bo touched up slightly hero and there. It Just happens, howovor, that in the previous lncomo tax law thoro was no separate corporation tax, tho consequonco being that the worst In congruities of the now bill arlso from tho patching dono to avoid doublo taxos on tho lncomo derived from corporation divldonds. If tho lncomo tax part of tho bill woro to go through without change, It would keep tho courts busy for years In applying It, and, on tho other hand, If It Is to bo made consistent and workable most of It will havo to bo rewritten. Where Office Seeks the Man. Patriotic Idoallsts havo longed for tho return of the day when tho office would seek tho man and lo, that day has come at last! Wo learn through the veracious Congressional DIroctory that ono mombor of tho present con gress did not seok, but was sought, by tho otflco. That mombor Is Con gressman It. Q, Dremnor of Now Jor sey. Tho country has his own word for It, as each mombor writes his own rocord into this compendium of official truth. Thus ho says: Never rnn for offlco until against his will ho wns practically unanimously nom inated for tho Sixty-third congress. It Is gratifying to know, not only that there Is a particlo of our prlstlno glory loft In tho nation, but that when It Is appealed to It responds to the call. It might bo Interesting to follow tho course of this lono mom bor sought by tho offlco, to seo how his record compares with tho others who gained tho prlzo after dlligont socking. Now that a comparison has at last becomo posslblo we nhould make tho most of It. It may afford an idoa of Just tho kind of public Horvants we would havo if selfish In terest and porsonal ambition wero held aside in the matter of selection. The Repudiation of Foss. A documont camo to ub a short while ago embodying a special mes eago sent to tho Massachusetts legis lature by Qovernor Kugone N, Foss, protesting particularly against tho threatened wholosalo tariff ripping, and favoring reductions only by tho reciprocity route. Qovernor Foss would ofdlnarlly be conceded tho right of having his own convictions on tho tariff, and of maintaining thorn In any way ho might seo fit. But hore comes Collier's with a vic ious assault upon tho Massachusetts man, charging his purpoBO to bo to embarrass President Wilson In tho work of tariff revision, and of giv ing oncouragomont to party traitors In congress. Which leads ub to ro call how loudly Qovornor Fosa was acclaimed c-n his conversion to tho democratic faith only two or throo yoara ago, and how ho was lUtod among tho "montlonables" for tho domocratlo presidential nomination. Yet bocauso of his position on the tariff, Qovornor Fobs' work in draw ing Massachusetts Into tho demo cratic column goes for naught. Im mediately ho disagrees with any Item In tho party platform, he has It thrown back at him that ho never was a democrat, anyway, Latest Stephen Douglas Story. The tact Just published for tho first time that Stephen A. Douglas as an Infant was snatchod from a fiery doath may be a little too lato to rank as a real sensation, though It does raako a very Interesting story, espe cially In view ot tho somewhat fiery career of tho "Little Giant," who tood as tho antagonist of Lincoln in those celobratod debates on the ques tion of tho abolition of slavery. Tho story runs that tho babo, Stephen, rolled off the lap of his father, wno died of upoploxy, Into the glowing hearth In front, from which ho was rescued by a friend, Just arrived to sen the "new baby." Though he defonded a loBlng, ana history vlows It, an unwortny cause. Douglas defended It well ana bocamo a foe In forenslcs tit for the ahleat master. Whothor this cap tlam in the physical flames under clr. cumstanceB bo tragic left its imprint upon' his flesh, the tire of conYlcuon glowed undlmmed within bla heart and oven Lincoln Knew mai ni op ponent was moved by no less a power it,nn that of conviction. U IB BT.ro.nR that tho searching pen of tho his torlan failed for all these years to discover this remarkable Incident at the threshold of bo Important a wo Surely no such oversight could occur In this day of prodigious scrutiny for human Interest features.

I was once examining a young man who had applied to me for the place of stenographer. ' 'What statu are you from,' I asked. ' 'I'm from the first state In the union, sir,' he replied.

Chicago Record-Herald. A Slltlilrn Change. To Illustrate the difficulty which at tends any attempt to part tho averago man from his money for a church pur pose collection. Bishop Murray recently told this story at a gathering In the Ureen Spring valley. It seems that a certain church had a very woll-kept cemetery surrounded by a good fence, which fence was one night blown down by a violent storm. A meeting of' the church members woa held to consider the rebuilding of the fence, and the reso lution to do so was passed by n vote of 00 to G. This point being decided, the minister announced that contributions to pay for the rebuilding would bo next In order. The announcement was received In unenthuslastlc sllunco, broken at last by a member who rose to object to the rebuilding of the fence. "If you think It over," he argued, "you will see we don't need the fence. For, gentlemen, those who aro Inside the cemetery can't get out, and those outside certainly don't want to get In, so what use Ib a fence after all? I move to recall tho voto." And recalled It was by a vote of 100 to 0. Baltimore American. Political New Brooms Cheer upl Nebraska still lives. The legislature has faded away. The New Humpshlro legislature ox- polled a member convicted of attempting to sell hl" vote, and the' New York senate rendered a Scotch verdict, "not proven," In tho caee of a member similarly ac cused. Urging the passage of a bill In the California legislature clamping the ltd on saloons, cufes, hotels and restaurants between the hours of 1 and 5 o'clock a. m a member argued that "as the theaters closed at 11 o'clock, tho sua cecdlng two hours offered plenty of time for any self-respecting lady or gentleman to get drunk." A Chicago grand Jury urges a searching probo Into last year's deal In voting ma. chines, which Involved an outlay of $1,000,. 000. In Interested quarters the suggestion Is regarded us a shameless attempt to divert tho public mind from tho pursuit of happiness. A Tennessee reformer Introduced a bill In the legislature making It unlawful for "any acknowledged, self-confessed or con victed liar or thief to publish, own or control any newspaper" In thnt state. An nmendment excluding such persons from membership In the state legislature duly adopted pushed a road roller ovor the projocted reform. Looking nbout for precedents to guide him In npplylng "the teachings of Christ" to present day Justfce, Judge O'Nell of Chicago applied to Mayor Qaynor of Now York for advlso. He got It. Mayor Gay nor tartly told tho Justice, of the peace that Yila oath of office required him to abide by and administer the laws of tho land. "If Christ accepted the office," Mayor Qaynor wrote, "Ho would also accept tho law as It Is and admtnlster It faithfully. Ho would not tako the law Into His own hands. Ho would not as sume to do as He liked. Ho would ad minister the law aa He found It. Indeed, that Is the, way He ncted when He was on this earth. He abided by the law. He constantly quoted tho law. Ho ad vocated a change to something better. He attended the synagogue and taught the law there. It was the abuse and mis use of the law which He denounced." Women's Activities About 125 women In Washington have Joined a club to study questions that are perplexing congress, as, for Instance, the troubles of the house ways and means committee. Miss Annette B. Paul will Instruct the class. Prominent women of Yonkera. N. Y., Jhave banded together to try to get better prices and to have more sanitary stores and shops. To help tradesmen, they have pledged to ask but one delivery day, to pay cash and to give prefer ence to early closing stores. Some one said that since the women can vote in Los Angeles more freak bills had been presented In the legislature than over before. Tho women In dignantly deny the charge and say that the truth Is that there are fewer than ever before, but that even these have been Introduced by men and not by women. Miss Alberta Hill of New York haa applied for the position of record clerk In the White House, and If she gets It will be the first of her sex to hold such a position.

OMAHA, April K.-To the Editor of Tho Bee: In your Saturday paper I read an article about "A Dangerous Police man," and would like to say n word In behalf of the police and the public. If X. Y. 55. were made to wear a star for a while he would look at tho matter en tirely different. If he, or the very woman who criticized the police about making that same arrest, wero to come along Leavenworth and have Insulting remarks made to them or their daughters by a crowd of rowdies, thoy would be the first to complain and wonder what the police were thero for. How much good would It do for the po lice to talk to their parents If all parents should be like tho woman who told the policeman he better not arrest her son? Such women aro the very ones who raise sons that have to be arrested on street corners. We are raising a son, but never tell him, "The pollco had better never nrrest you." What wo do tell him Is: "If you llvo up to your raising and your parents' teaching, be a gentleman wher ever you go, do by women and girls as you would have your mother and slaters dono by, you never will bo arrested." If mothers only loved their sons enough to make them mind there would not be so much work for the police; so If you think It's a -snap, X. Y. Z., Just change positions with that "dangerous police man" for a while. A. READER, No Free' Trade Wanted. YORK, Neb.. April 30,-To the Editor of Tho Bee: I am addressing to Senator Norris this letter which I believe Is of general public Interest: I wish to say, speaking from a life time experience In the flour mill and grain business, that If the framers of the democratic tariff bill don't know any more about tho business Interest of tho country than the great brain does that conceived the idea of put ting flour on the freo list and leav ing a duty on wheat, which would result In building up a great milling industry In Canada and destroying the milling business on this Bide of the line, I pity tho business Interests of the country. Even If they would also put wheat on tho free list it would result In destroying tho milling business in this country with the excep tion of tho mills of the northwest and a few of the larger mills. I nottco that you aro on tho right track; we want tariff reduotlon and revision, but not free trade, WIIiLIAM COLTON." A I'ontnfflce Primary Furor. HOOPEK, Nob., April 2L To the Editor of The Bee: A dispatch from Washing ton states that Congressman Dan V. Stephens has recommended C. G. Fritz for postmaster at Hooper because he was named at a postofflce primary election. iNow tho facta In the Hooper postofflce matter are these: Mr. FrlU was not the choice of tho postmaster primary election, but was a caucus nominee at a democratic caucus held at 8:30 p. m., February 21, as per call published In the Hooper Sentinel Feb ruary 20. At this caucus nine persons were present when the nomination was made. Many democrats were dissatis fied with tho action of this caucus, as they were unable to participate owing to the short notice, wherefore the call for a mass meeting and primary election for 'Postmaster held March 15, whkn resulted tu follows: For John Ring, 1C5; C.

Docs the Constltntluu liar JapxT OMAHA, April 22. To the Editor of The Bee: The Jap Jingo has become boister ous on account of the public protect arising In California against ownership ot land In that state by Japanese. The first outbreak, under Roosevelt, related to the attempt to exclude Jap children from the schools. The treaty with Japan provides that the United States shall accord to Jap anese people the same privileges accorded to tho people of other treaty powors. How such a treaty could lawfully be tnudo, when the administration must have known that none but Caucasians and blacks can become naturalized cit izens of the United States, Is beyond the average man's comprehension. In other words, the yellow man cannot become a naturalized citizen under the terms of the federal constitution, and, therefore, with reference to this one matter, at least, It Is Impossible for this nation to treat the Japs on a level with other foreigners. The dispatches this morning say 'hat the British consul stirred up the Jap Jingo again by announcing that the province of British Columbia, near the Pacific coast, was striking the same at titude respecting the Japanese that Cal ifornia has assumed. I venture to 'ay, however, that the Jingoes will sing rather low In reference to the attitude of Can ada, perhaps because they have a whole some respect for the British governmi-nt. Perhaps also they have not forgotten what Australia did to the yellow man within recent years. The Issue there was between the Caucasian blood ot the British and the yellow blood ot China and Japan. Australians declared that Australia waa for the white man and the agitation became so Intense that tho Australian Parliament passed n law deporting from Australia every yellow man. An appeal was made to the Aus tralian supremo court and the law was affirmed. Then followed the wholesale deportation of the yellow man. His hlme government, of course, appealed to Lon don, and argued that the treaty with Great Britain assured the Jap the same treatment that other nationalities should receive. The same Issue, by the way, has already arisen In Canada and reached the London foreign office. Yet, In view of those drastic measures by the Australians, you hear mighty lit tie talk In Tokto about resorting to arms with the British Hon. The question Is, Will Japan compel the United States to amend Its federal '.on- BtltuUonT J. B. IIAYNEB Lunacy Versus Sense. Louisville Courier-Journal.
