Temperate and sanitary living Is a preventive, while medicine la a cure. Therefore, the former the greater factor in longevity.

Next year 1914 will mark tho conclusion of. alxty years ot Omaha. When any couple round out alxty years of married life It is customary to soUq upon the occasion as suffi ciently exceptional to warrant a eel cbratlon. While sixty years may bo but as a day In the llfo of a great city, yet we aro suro It is a turning point worth commemorating In a befitting manner, and The Beo makes the suggestion now. In order to permit of ample tlmo for prepara tion, that our public bodies and civic associations get together soon to formulnto a procram for a sixty-year-old Omaha birthday party. Not that It need be at all controll ing, we may refer back) to Omaha's soml-contonnlal celebration exercises to sucessfully executed Jn 1904. Tho particular dato of that celebration was Juno 10, it being a celebration of tho organization of tho torrltory of Nebraska as woll. Tho dates are closo enough togotbor to warrant a combination of tho city's birthday with the annlvorsary of the nation's Independence day, or oven with Ak-Sar-Bon's fall festivities, if desired. The occasion can, and should, be rnado more than a moroly local dis play and function. It opens up a project of purely public naturo in which all can pull together for tho progress and prosperity of tho city and state. Public Comes First. Brushing aside legal technicali ties, tho mayor ot Cincinnati did a courageous thing in seising tho ice plant tied up by a strlko and tak ing them ovor temporarily to the city for operation. Tho public must always corao first in point of con sideration In every such dispute af fecting public sorvlco. Why permit employers and oroployes to hngglo over selfish Interests when llfo and death are at stako for innocont mep, women and children, ns must bo the case with tho ice resources tlod up in tho midst of an exceptionally hot "poll. It is to bo hopod Cincinnati's action will be a warning to bo heeded. The idea that a publlo util ity of any sort can be shut down at tho publlo oxpenso to gratify tho whim of employer or employo is out of nil reason and whenever it is pos slblo for tho peoplo to provent it as in Cincinnati, it should bo done. Tho pubHo as an interested third party is Invariably tho chief sutforor in overy such Industrial conflict and tho publlo will not tamely submit to such outrageous abuses. Hew Can Xe Unload t ' following, tne MCNao. expose, some nowspapors professedly friendly to the Wilson adminlstra tion, are demanding that Attorney General McReynolds resign from tho cabinet. 8ay both tho New York World and St. Louis Post Dispatch: The best service that James C. Mc Reynolds can now render to the Wilson administration la to resign the office of attorney general of the United Btates, We say this In full appreciation of Mr. McReynolds' acknowledged ability a lawyer and wltl? full confidence In hi personal and official Integrity. Mr McRoynolds action In the so-called "white slave causes" has made htm a burden of embarrassment to the ad ministration. Concluding their lengthy editorial, they add: Incidentally, It the secretary ot labor and the commissioner of Immigration should retire to private life with him, we cannot believe the publlo service will suffer Jn consequence. But with the president's clean-cut exoneration and publlo avowal ot confidence to comfort him, will Mr. McReynolds act upon this advcaT And will he be asked -to do so by tho president, whose own position is not dissimilar to that ot Mr. Taft in the BalHngor case? It is rather well defined now In tho minds of all, even those who, with Mr. Taft, bolleved In tho integrity of Mr. Balllnger, that the latter' continuance in the cabinet so long was a "burden of embarrassment to the administration." With this oxperlenco before him, will Presi dent Wilson yot find a way out by which he can gracefully unload his attorney general? Alaskan Coal Development Tho first coal mined by the fed eral government in the Behrlng river coal fields, amounting to 700 tons, is being shipped to the main land to be tested for Its steaming qualities on American vessels. This serves to ro-oirect attention to the imperative need ot develop ing these prolific Alaskan coal lands u task the government should not longer deter, it should no ap proached In real earnestness by con greaa at the next regular session For more than six years now wo have investigated through about every cabinet department conditions and prospects in Alaska. We ought to have sufficient information by now, if we are over to havo it, pn which to proceed with business. It Is not so much a matter of method, whether by leasing or otherwise, as that these bulging coal deposits shall ha unlocked and a step taken to ward developing Alaska, rich not only la mineral, nut vegetable re sources aa well, Uaele Baaf aever did less for any of bis pioneers than those sturdy men who hav paahod out our frontiers In this graat peninsula. Climate? Oh, the delay cannot be laid to tho climate whaa. we roaaabar that Cordova, In the) midst of this field of coal, is 1,400 miles further north than Vladivostok and yet free from Ice tho yenr round, while the Rus sian frontier port, never so badly neglected, is often inaccessible as a result of its climatic rigors. The Japanese current, of course, saves tho Alaskan locality. Tho fact is, our country has no valid excuse for further nogleot and tardiness In this matter. Lest Wo Forget What have those fifty years meant? They havo meant pence anA union and vigor and the maturity and might of a great nation. Wa are debtors to those fifty crowded years! they have made tie heirs to a mighty heritage. President Wilson. Those- fifty yoars woro yoars ot achlovomont, During all that tlmo, with tho exception ot two ahort periods ot tour years each, tho na tion was governed by the policies of tho .republican party and undor tho administration ot republican presi dents, from Lincoln and Grant down to Hoosovolt and Taft. Saner and Safer. On, tho face of returns the safe and sano Fourth carried the country by an overwhelming majority as compared with previous Fourths. Up to midnight of tho day the report ot doaths from explosions for the whole United States showed only eight, with 874 injured, Of course, theso figures aro BUbJect to revision upward by later returns, but aro not at all likely to como within reach of former records. In 1012 tho total number of killed was forty-ono, Which was romnrkably low as com pared, for instance, with 466 in 1002. This year affords tremendous ground for exulting, and all the war rant needed for persisting in our ef fort to secure a still more safo and sano celebration of our national In dependence. When tho movement was first launched skeptics shook tneir heads, but they have been al ready answered. There Is no reason why In 1914 tho day should not bo observed with full meaning and without unnecessary loss of llfo. Growth of tho Moviei. It is announced on presumably roliablo authority that tho American poople dropped 6,300.000,000 nick els Into moving Plcturo show slots last year; that 180,000,000 ot capi tal is invoBtod In tho "movies," which as a business employ 200,000 peoplo regularly. Booing moving picture Bhows springing tip on every hand, wo aro m-propared to question the correct ness of theso figures, stupendous as they arc JEvoryono knows that tho popularity of the "movies" has been proaigious. it is time, now that they seem to have provod their per manency, to stop and think ot the many ways in which tho moving pic tures can bo mode to servo serious uhuo iu m. vi course, tney are not serving those ends in simply pro viding entertainment, though If dis criminating that Is not censurable. But could we afford the time and money spent in maintaining such an institution unless t came up to its posslbllltes of usefulness? j no moving picture has a wide field of usefulness In tho realm of education and no time must ba' lost in projecting it into that field. It may be employed to great advantage in tne school, the church and Sunday Bcnooi ana on the platform as an ed ucatlonal factor. Looking at it aa a potential element In the life of to day and tomorrow, it aurely can be forgiven, or, at least, toleratod. for any of its present shortcomings. Wattersonian Wisdom. uoionei wattorson is quoted as saying that' his Fourth July speech at Put-in-Bay, 0 was to be bis last publlo address. Whether so or not it will stand out as one ot his best utterances, Inspiring for wisdom, both tlmoly and true. Of latter-day reform legislation the venerable Kentucky editor, touching upon tho accepted theory "that those are best governed who ara least governed," said: The danger is admitted. Clearly seeing the evils of too much legislation, we call for more. Through clance majorities. stable In nothing, wa would regulate the tastes, morals and habits of the people by act of assetnbly. Perennially re rroaahlng congress, we would nsverthe less augment the power of congress. Those- who believe with Colonel Wattoreon in larger sobriety and more consistency ot governmental method and popular domands do not necessarily oppose reform, but may with him believe that reform to be ot any service must come, not through emotion, but through reason ! regeneration by growth, not spasm, "We may go on and Invent and experiment with new legal vaga ries until wo have laws piled moun tain high without correcting the most apparent evils unlets those laws fit into the naeda and sentiment of the peopla, not tor a day, but per manently, , Why -have some of the old princi ples now being so vigorously assailed in certain quarters withstood so lone and so well the corroding test ot time? Ha answers that it U becajuse they were fondamental to well- ordered society. Why now discard them tor some will-o'-the-wisp Inven tlon With little more to commend it than the sonorous recommendation of tho xealous inventor? Colonel Wattersoa la aafe In say- ing that chance majorities aro stable In nothing, and that human tastes. morals and habits are not to be reg ulated by act ot assombly. Now, as always, the lamp of experience af fords the most reliable light to guide us on the path to the future. The Liberty Bell's Journey. Tho final decision to trans port the liberty boll from Philadel phia to the San Francisco Panama Pacific exposition seems to meet general approval over tho country, Thoso who opposed the project did so on the ground that the Jar ot travel would further damage and might destroy tho bell, already rent from tho vigor with which it tolled out our liberty on July 4, 1776, But this argument was at length over ridden when it was Bhown that tho utmost care would be exercised in handling tho bell, and that, if neces sary the cracked stde might bo forti fied by rivets or bands. Llborty boll typifies only an idea and if its exhibition to people gath ered from the four quarters ot tho globe serves further to spread and deepen that idea, then why fear physical damago? At the Philadel phia centennial and tho Chicago Worldls fair who will say that this old rella of our national nativity did not breathe patriotic inspiration? Now, as never before; with tho most ancient of pagan ompires barely in the swaddling clothos of free gov ernment, tho mind ot the world is most roceptlvo to the fundamental id 3a treasured in this old bell. Let it go and speed it on ita mission of light to shine out through the Golden Oate to the "lands that are lying In darkness an,d night," as the old hymn has it, and incidentally to mag nify tho meaning ot this idea in tho minds of young and old America. Laying Hold on Promises. Ask of me and I wilt give thee the heathen for thine Inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession- Psalms Portland, Ore., July 1. A chorus of 250 trained voices composed entirely ot Chinese, singing anthems In .English, was a feature of tonight's session of the sec ond World's Christian cltlsenshlp confer ence. Following tho singing came an Ad dress by Ng Poon Chew of Canton, China, on "Christianity In China." Evidently tho children of Jehovah aro laying hold of Hie promises. The world is reminded in all such recur ring tides ot chango boating back upon our Bhorcs from tho far east that tho missionary has played a big role In tho drama ot advancing mod ern civilization. It is a drama in which commorce, too, has a part, the commercial agent taking up tho trail blazed through -the orient, for the most part, by the man of God. But such demonstrations aa those - In Portland must make, not only the religious, -but tho worldly, wonder what might be tho power ot the church, without regard to denomina tional lines. If It laid hold In moro deadly earnest upon the promises mndo far bock In Old Testament tlmo by tho Ood of salvation. He may not havo sot any time limits upon His heralded plan ot bringing the world to Him, but that view Is no oxcuse for those who havo espoused his cause to loaf on the job. Even the church, Itself, has grown intro spective enough to begin inquiring into its own zeal and Industry, and If It finds ita worW lagging, that is the first thing to do, The Commercial club's records note that Omaha , has lost one ae- slrabte manufacturing Industry, which it might have had except for the Inconsiderate action ot the Wator board, and its policy of dis turbance and discrimination against such business enterprises.
