Work of the Legislature.
With access only to an Inventory,
by title of tho laws enacted, It In not
possible to pags final Judgment upon
the record and achievements of the
Nebraska legislature now adjourned.
It may bo said, howover, that that
body will ;o down Into history for
various kinds of greatness great
ness In tho number of bills Intro
duced, greatness for the number of
pages added to tho statute books
and greatness for the amount of
money appropriated out of the treas
ury but for real contribution to the
progress of tho slate, and welfare
of Its people, It falls short of many
preceding sessions,
Tho ono big thing accomplished Is
tho adoption of. tho rovlsed code, pre
pared by a special commission, and
designed to settle onco for all what
tho law Is In this state on nil sub
jects, and concontrate It Into a com
prehensive and systematically ar
ranged volume, Hut whllo the codej
was still In transit, the legislature
started out to chop It to pieces, with
tho consequence that several hun
dred changes will have to bo Incor
porated before It Is serviceable for
use. .
Outsldo of this code, most of tho
laws enacted on Important subjects
aro olthor makeshifts or compro
mises. In many cases admittedly de
fective and reflecting the Indecision
of the lawmakers.
Speaking In gonoral, we bellevo
tho distinguishing feature of tho de
funct legislature will be that It has
moroly started a lot of things which
subsequent legislatures will havo to
finish or perfect.

Sulzer's Happy Choice.
Governor Sulzor has made an ox
cellont selection In John Mitchell for
stnto labor commissioner in Now
York, and if Mr. Mitchell accepts the
placo, as ho is expected to do, he
wilt undoubtedly vlndlcato tho wis
dom of tho cholco. Coming up from
tho pit of the mine, where he tolled
as a boy and youth with tho wago
earners, John Mitchell rose to a
placo of deservod distinction in the
councils of labor which few men
havo hold in this country. As head
of tho great union of miners and
vlco president of tho American Fed
eration of Labor and' In all other
public capacities, he has proved his
Integrity and his ability and a rare
diplomatic skill, which make him a
most valuable servant for tho stato.
Now York is fortunate to havo for
tho Important position of labor com
missioner a man who knows tho
labor problom so thoroughly and
holds tho confidence of both labor
and capital as ho does.

Mr. Morgan's Will.
The will of the lato J. Plerpont
Morgan, which had been looked for
with much public intorest, Is rather
disappointing In the fact that it be
queaths less than 1 per cent ot the
vast fortuno to charity and almost
nothing to public uses. Tho testa
ment begins with an eloquent apos-
tropho to tho groat man's rollglous
bellof, which was ruggedly orthodox,
and speaks with such emphasis ot tho
suflcloncy of the doctrlno of vicari
ous atonement as to rovoal a sent!
mental side ot the naturo that had,
at least in secular affairs, so effec
tually concealed all somblanco of
scntlmont. But Mr. Morgan does not
pormlt that sentiment to carry him
off into making extravagant bequestB
for philanthropic or charitable enter
prises. In this, no doubt, he will be
regardod as paying scant tribute to
the growing sonse on the part of
wealthy men of their indebtedness to
soplety, whoso powers and resources
contrlbuto so largely to mo upuuua
ing of their massive, estates. Mr
Morgan is sld to have given liberally
to worthy causes' during his lifetime.
If so, In that, too, he kept his secret
from the publlo better than Carnegie
and Rockefeller havo kept the fact of
their stupendous benefactions.
No More Hasina at Annapolis.
It has always soqmod a difficult
task to prevent basing at the Naval
academy, as well as other similar In

poses to make it no task at all. He
simply saya there will be no haxlng
at Annapolla while he Is secretary ot
the navy, which is certainly simple
enough. Lot us hope It will, prove
so in practice and inspire similar ac
tlon all along tho line of colleges and
universities.
"Your haior," says Secretary
Daniel, "Is essentially a bully and

The vr Knowledge."
OMAHA, April 22. To the Editor of
Th? Bee: The human body Is a delicate
mechanism, the product ot psychical,
electrical, chemical and physical forces.
By the study of nature everywhere pres
ent to our censes, we have learned, by
Induction and deduction, many of the
law that reign supreme throughout the
vast Infinitude of space. Man cannot
get away from the action of these laws
of nature, for he is himself a part .of
nature. To keep one's self In harmony
with the constructive principle of indi
vidual life, ensures perfect health of
body and happiness of mind. To align
one's self with the destructive energies
of nature, Is to Invite degeneration, dis
ease, diminution of capacity, unhappl
ness and -early death. More than 90 per
cent of all diseases are due to chemical
or electrical pollution of the blood
stream, caused by Incorrect or Improper
methods of thinking and living, that only
a few people have learned to under
stand and appreciate.
The laws of eternal nature are the
laws of God, and are inexorable. Conse
quences are sure. Law reigns supreme.
There Is no panacea for violated law. The
life must be lived in harmony with na
ture's constructive forces. To do this,
one should know the law and be able to
make the application. The old teachings
based on the folk lore and fables of
primitive people must be supplanted by
the new knowledge of science. The days
of excommunication and authority have
passed away, and the new day ot the
scientific Interrogation of nature and Its
processes has arrived. Evolution is na
ture h method of doing Wings, uoa s
plan of procedure. Truth Is therefore an
nfoldlng thought. To "live the life" one
must know the law, and conform thereto.
This requires education and Instruction,
which In our day are easily obtainable.
To know how to prevent disease Is bet
ter than to continue In violation of law,
and run the risk of degeneration, disease
and early death. The facts on which
these principles or truths for correct liv
ing are scientifically based must be
taught to the people. This I have called
the "gospel of health" and It Is the ap
plication of "the ne.w . kpowledgo" to
the events of dally life. It is the practice
of good common sense. It could have
saved more than 1,000 lives in Omaha dur
ing the year 1912, What a record for a
city of supposedly cultured people! Shall
this rate of mortality bo continued dur
ing the present year? H ought not so
to be.
Docs It require that a great wave of
destruction and death, like tho "Great
Plague" or Astatic cholera, shall sweep
over our city, to awaken the people to a
realltatlon of the necessity of right meth
ods of thinking and living? The grca.t
and Immortal Roman philosopher, Seneca,
said, "Mon do not dlo, they kill them
selves." So we may say today thrce
foufths of all who die In our generation
commit suicide. This sacrifice of human
lives is needless. It should not be thus,
for, by learning when, where- and how
they violate nature's laws they can and
should protect themselves. From nature a
standpoint it la a crime to bo sick. Slck-
noss Is always a result of violated laws.
The time Is now at hand when people
will demand of physicians that they teach
the gospel of right thinking and right
living. Too long have physicians been
treating the end products, or results of
disease, when they should have been
teaching how to avoid disease,
"The New Knowledge" embraces psy
chology, and when well taught will work
wonders In the Industrial world and In
oclal circles. Its good results will enter
Into all the avocations of life. It will
teach people where they belong, what
they pan do best and how they can make
their lives successful. It will correct
love's tangles by showing people how to
choose a companion and how to deal with
each other, as well an how to bring up
their children. It will teach them thb
correct philosophy of life, how to avoid
mistakes and how to get the most out of
life in all Its various phases.
This Is tho "New Knowledge" for the
betterment of mankind, and the develop
ment of a substantial and enduring bastt.
for a hisrher standard of morality, a
clearer Intellect for tho labors and duties
ot llfe-and It will be a very important
factor In the lessening of prostitution
poverty and crime.
