Mr. Taft's error presumably lay In not taking the sensitive sena tors Into his confidence while work ing out the details of the proposed treaty. Mr. Bryan has carefully avoided this trouble by making mem bers of tho sennte committee parties to his plan. This bit of strategy, while probably not Inuring to the production of a better poaco plan, certainly will aid as an expedient. The new plan omits tho Joint high commission feature of tho former, reforrlng all disputes to an interna tional court of inquiry. One strong provision, If it can bo made to work, seems to be that repressing tho en- lnrgument of armaments or mobiliz ing of troops pending negotiations. This might tend to cool tho temper of nations and finally avert trouble, just as It Is a good thing to divert, If possible, tho attention of two in dividual combatants until thoy have tlmo to cool off, whcli better ways of settling their disputes may inter vene. But this lsnot always easily done Whllo tho Bryan proposal see in b t9 havo had un auspicious ad vent, this is not tho time for rhap sodies over world poaco. Lobeck's Great Speech.

Wo refer to our bril liant congressman, tho Hon. Charles .Otto Lobeck, whose reputation as a wit and debater is now achieved and officially embalmed In tho Congres sional Ilocord. How did it nil como about? Why, when Congressman J.

"The dinner was excellent," he says, according to the Japan Advertiser, "but when It was about half over I was startled bv hearing the wife of my host tell tho native servant to place a bowl of milk on a deerskin near her chair. "Although she spoke as calmly as It giving un ordinary order. I knew at onci there was a snake somewhere In the room, for they prefer milk to anything else. As a hasty movement might have meant certain death,, we all sat like statues; but, for all that, my eyes were Inspecting every nook and corner with n peep under the table. "However. It was not until the milk was placed on the deerskin that the snake appeared. And then, to our amaze ment, a large cobra uncoiled Itself from the hostess' ankle and glided toward the bowl, when, ot course. It was Immedi ately killed. "But Just fancy the nerve of the woman, though she fainted when the thing lay dead on the floor. How many could have remained motionless under (such circumstances?" Artlxtlc Value. Ouy Shelley's old spotted cow wandered acrors tho pasture one day and laid her self down for a peaceful chewing of the cud. She did not realize that she was posing for her picture. Tho artist who painted her showed the sketch to duy and the cow's owner took a great Interest In It. Later, when the artist had returned to the city, he had the good fortune to sell the study for $150, and on a subsequent trip to the sketching grounds he told Guy of the sale. Ouy was Incredulous. "You don't mean to tell me you sold that there pitcher ot old Daisy for a hun dred on' fifty dollara!" "Yes, a Chicago man bought It for that price." "Welt, don't that beat all." said Ouy, "I'd a sold him the cow for fifty." Chi cago Post.

Mr. Norrls had written a new Te Deum, and after the church serv ice In which he used It for the first tlmo he met Mr. Morgan In tho vestibule. In the course of a little talk he asked the financier how he had liked the Te Deum that morning. "Not so well as last Sunday's," replied Mr. Morgan. "I am sorry,'! the organist said, "for I wrote it." It was two or three months before he played that Te Deum again, but on tho mornlnj? he did so Mr. Morgan waited for him after the service espe cially to tell him how much ho liked the Te Deum he used that day.

Phila delphia Ledger, luettettrlS ox Health Versa Disease. OMAHA. April Z7.-To the Editor of The Bee: The growing tendency of the medlco-polltlcal wdrtd to force Its serv ices upon humanity by first educating It, through fear, to demand those services, prompts inr to suggest to mankind n more fearless view, wherein the law of health, by natuie positive. Is active with out continual lotstering, nnd disease unsupported by fear Is negative, without law and of Itself Inoperative. For 6.000 years humanity has sought relief from disease. Medical schools have been established to Investigate and explain It from a physical standpoint. Serums and virus hove been Introduced Into the human system, animals tortured and human beings mutilated and relieved of necessary organs. Disease has been studied assiduously, mental pictures formed and disseminated by means of the press and otherwise. Fear-lnsplrlng arti cles appear systematically to help the weary traveler on his unhealthy way. Microbes and germs, powerless In them selves, ore brought forward and clothed with desperate purpose. Now the question arises, are we wiser, happier, more comfortable and less dis eased? Let us consider for n moment the result of this rontlnual delving Into dis ease to final health. It has failed to es tablish medicine as a science for thcrq Is nothing so ostensibly a failure, with con stantly changing remedies upon which no two physicians ngrcr and with n ostand ard for either diagnosis or treatment. Often the effort to destroy disease thwarts its own purpose. For Instance the ancient plagues, one smallpox remains to distress the American people. Why? Be cause nccordlng to authorities of note It Is being continually revacclnated, with other loathsome disease Into the human system. Many who have suffered from smallpox are positive that It resulted from vaccination, not contagion. It Is aWo claimed by Investigators that In this country more deaths result from vaccina tion than smallpox. Again, tho fallacy of educated fanati cism was proved years ago when Nellie Bly, correspondent of tho New York World, nnd at that time In perfect health, took the same number of general symp toms to five eminent New York special ists, In each Instance the supp.jiMd trouble was diagnosed as resulting Iron an affection of the organ to which that physician was devoting special attention. Now Imagine one In search of health consulting flvo specialists and having five organic difficulties literally thrust upon him. Surely there Is something wrong with the wisdom of man. The more disease Is studied the more mystifying and terror-Inspiring It be comes. Now suppose we reverse thi process. Study health and look for It. Man was given dominion which means that harmony Is positive, not negative. We don't need watching to preservi health; we need to be let alone to enjoy It. PEARLE CHAMBBRLIN. ntur AsUb n Verdict. WILCOX. Neb., April 27. To the Editor of Tho Bee: Charles Fritz, a windmill nnd pump man of Wilcox, Neb., has tho distinguished honor (7) of handing Rev. A, J, May, pastor of the Methodist church of Wilcox, Neb., a little cursing at the parsonage door a few days ago because tho pastor secured, the with drawal of one of tho names of his church members from a saloon petition. There are some people, no doubt, who will censure the pastor for performing1 his duty and praise the swearer for his courage and heroism. Regardless of personal sentiment and financial gain or loss, who was right and who was wrong? A. M. The Chicago Pace In five years Chicago has received 10.

Meals and lodging are to be provided at cost. Judge Grlnnell of the court of domestic relations, figures from the court records that 40 per cent of the families disrupted Is due to drink, while Immorality and disease are neck and neck for second place with a score of It per cent each. Interference of mother-ln-Iaws has a score of 6 per cent, and Interference of father-In-laws a lonesome 1 per cent. The latter piece of family furniture realizes that Interference Is no Joke.

Let's have a general 'clean up day.' " II. Such "clean up days" have passed nnd gone There mny have been some clenners Beside Jupe Pluvlus and the winds But what we need Is gleaners To follow up the grand display And bury from the light of day Tho old tin cans nnd all such Junk That make some pretty spots look "punk." III. Near Font'nclle park Is a rustic road And this rustic road leads down to a brook, And the pretty brook Is spanned by a bridge, But nlns, when over Its rail you look Your mood Is spoiled because some chump Has used that pretty brook for a dump: Now don't you think there should be a law To prevent such doing In OmnJia? IV. Wherethe M. P. railway Intersects Some attractive byways of our city The traveler can not help but see Many spots that might bo pretty. If the verdant grnss wasn't hurled deep Beneath soma unsightly rubbish heap: Now why couldn't some boxcar carry away :tmuHtrAand a,oJoP.)d .away cmf mm Such rubbish heaps on our "clean up" day? V. The winds of heaven may sweep our streets And good old Jupe may splash 'em, But they cannot remove those rubbish heaps, However hard they slash 'em. And so I hope that- Mayor Jim Will now consider Its up to him And get men after each rubbish heap, Until they are burled and burled deep. Omaha. BAYOLL KB TRELE.
