Mr. Bryan's Chautauqua prices occm to knock galloy west that old Baw that "talk Is cheap," The New Trust Busting. The suit Instituted by direction ot tho attorney general to un-merge tho telephone monopoly In the Pacific coast stntos for violation of the Sher man anti-trust law will be wildly hallfd by democrats clacquirs as showing tho determination of the Wilson ndmlnstration to put the monopolies and trusts out of busi ness. So far as it goes, tho dissolu tion suit Is good if tho government can establish the unlawful acta it al leges. But it is to bo noticed that In proceeding against this Telephone trust Mr. Wilson's attornoy general a following exactly In tho footsteps! of Mr. Taft's attorney general, who In one term dissolved moro trusts than all the preceding adminstra tlons. Tho significance of the present ac tion, however, Is that It Is brought as a civil trust, and not as a criminal prosecution. Did you ever hear dem ocratic orators declaim that guilt is personal? Did you over read demo cratic newspapers decrying civil suits to dlSBolvo mergers as useless? Did yoii ever sco democratic platforms in sisting that tho only way to put tho trusts out of business is to put trust magnates behind bars? But horo is our democratic attor noy general charging tho Telephone trust with all sorts of unlawful acts that defy the ahtl-trust law, but es tablishing nothing to warrant 'a criminal prosecution of anybody.

If that tornado bond election, which cost tho taxpayers several thousand dollars, had only put tho monoy In circulation among those who need It, it might not havo to bo regarded as a total loss, but with our olectlon commissioner's special hand- picked corps ot society gentlemen, lawyers, capitalists and roal estate agents taking all the coin for sitting around as Judges and clerks of elec tion, It la nt least open to dispute whether this relief .fund has been well distributed. Our guess is that it coat tho- tax payers of Douglas county closo to $3 a vote. What's your guess? Sir Thomas Llpton always comes in that "Lest we forgot" spirit of Kipling's with his challenges. "I'm getting tired ot theso de nials," says. Muluall. Then, toll tho truth, and nothing but tho truth, Hello, tho government Is now after tho Telephone trust, which will make business for the trouble department.

It waH over thus. Hoops, bustles or what not; trains, bobtail skirts, hqbbles, silts not a bit ot difforonco. They all run to the limit. One goes a little farther than another.

Even tho "croo-ol" charge that It cheapens parcels post to lower rates and increase weights is not apt to injure tho service or Impair its pop ularity. Some things are bottor iheaper. Yes, but suppoao tho gas company showed a profit of $265,000 over and above all operating expenses and fu,U niereai on watorea stocks ana bonds, would not folks bo demand' ing rate induction below $1 a thou sand? And would the gas company be ablo to make any kind ot & de fense against it? Employes of the state insurance department have been given a hunch that their services may not be re quired by the insurance commissioner taking chargo under the new insur ance law. Well, what did the new law transfer the Insurance work from the auditor's office for, any way? To the victors belong the polls. Eating Venison. Yum, yum, Just wait till Secre tary of tho Interior Lano gets his Alaskan railway to running down Into the middle west and we will all be eating venison, tho choicest of meats. What a day that will bo for us to laugh at tho greedy packer, who has been tossing us his bits ot beet and mutton and pork at thoso fabulous prices. Why, there aro 40,000 wild rein deer right now feeding on 100,000,' 000 acres ot moss in Alaska, says Mr. Lano, and it will be no trick at all to run that number up to 40,000,' 000 in a fow good seasons of careful breeding. That can at least be done by tho time tho through railroad is completed from the interior ot Alaska to its terminus at Omaha.

It seems that our distinguished secretary of war politely declined the invitation extended to him from our democratic United States senator to be the luncheon guest of our Com mercial club when visiting this city, but now reconsiders and accepts through General Leonard Wood when the invitation is pressed by the club. Aral's the answer? Lobbyists and Lobbyists. "There are lobbyists in Washington always have boen and always will be," says Sam Blythe, and overybody familiar with tho facts knows that Is true, "The trouble with tho usual lobby hunters is that they aro not definite in their tonus. They use tho word lobbyist always in tho senso ot briber. There aro numerous lobby ists who are not bribers and never -will be," From tho Mulhalllng going, on at Washington we are not to conclude that lobbying Is a thing ot tho past any more than that all lobbyists have done or would do' some things to Which Mulhall confesses. Business has its legitimate rights at the national as well as Btate legislatures, but only so long as It makes use of without abusing them can there be no causo for complaint. ' If these exposes holp to separate the goats from the sheep, to draw proper distinctions between lobbyists and Lobbyists, they may serve some good and useful ends, when followed by proper disposition of the goats, horns, butting propensities and all If the way tho voters swarmed out (to seize their first opportunity to inscribe their autographs in the poll books under the new Bertlllon olefc tlon system Is the measure ot popu lar endorsement of the new law, it's a scream.

Thirty-seven years ago the American correspondent of the New York Herald the distinguished Ohloan, J. A. Mac Gfthnn, drifted Into the Balkans and witnessed with his own eyes the horrors of Turkish tyranny among the Bulgars. Mr. MacGahan drew such a vivid picture of Turkish Infamy and cruelty, murdci and rapine, that the civilized world was aroused to protest In the name of human ity. Gladstone, for England, denounced the barbarity ot the Moslems, and Rus sia found in the horrors of the situation ample warrant for the War of WM, which wrested the Balkan states from Turkish rule. Thti whirligig .of time wrought many changes, but none moro amazing than the transformation of the Bulgar from an object of sympathy and admiration to one of world-wide con demnation. The atrocious inhumanity of the Moslem toward the Bulgar Is rivaled If not surpassed by the murderous, lust ful treatment of aged men, women an6 children by the Bulgar army In Mace donia and Thrace. Cities and villages which the Bulgars could not hold ogalnnt the Serbs and Greeks have been looted end burned, aged noncombatants mur dered, men, women and children burned, crucified or otherwise put to death. Th6 truth of the devastation and death, comes from too many credible sources tp be suc cessfully denied. Ministers, consuls and the king of Greece politically affirm a series of crimes by the Bulgars shock ing to every Instinct of humanity. Thus the bright particular star of the near cast drops from 'tho firmament of yester day Into the depths of execration, disaster and humiliation. Turkish Opportunists. Treason, betrayal and disunion have( ever been the handmaids or, xuraisn power In Europe. Centuries -ago when tho hosts of Mahommcd menaced the capital ot Constantino, rival legions ot the cross, instead of uniting against the enemy, wasted their energies In fruitless religious contention. Thousands ot able- bodied defenders who should have manned the city walls were gathered In and about St Sophia and Induced by pious monks to swear eternal opposition to a union with, the Latin church, condemned as the "In fidel" faith of the west. And while thesw delirious assemblies were nlioutlng de fiance at the western church tho Mos lems were scaling the city walls, soon thereafter taking possession ot the fa mous Christian temple which tho follow, era of Islam havo held undisturbed pos session of for 600 years. Conditions havo chnnged In these centuries, but the spirit of Christian discord and Intolerance Is hardly less today than when tho legions of Mahommcd routed tho divided follow ers of the cross at Constantinople. Tho difference lies In national rivalries sup planting religious hatreds. Rivalry and greed checked Russia at tho gates ot Constantinople In 1877 and stripped th victors of fairly won prizes of war,. Greed and lust for power prompted the Bulgar king to turn a victorious army upon his allies, destroying by one stroke nearly all the good achieved under th banners of the cross. Never was the bubble of overweening ambition b quickly shattered, Kng Ferdinand Is shorn not only of tho fruits ot victory, honors as well as territory, but will be fortunate If he holds his crown. The crafty Turks saw the opportunities ot disunion and quickly seized them. Kirk Klllsseh, Lule Bargus and- Adrlanople, Bulgaria's prizes of war, once more are In Moslem hands, with no power In sight to loosen the grip. Who Will Put Them Ontf- x The Ignominious trimming ot Bulgaria, while yot flush with the wine of vic tory, excites llttlo commiseration from any quarter. Like the American fron tiersman who, on recovering conscious ness from tho effect of a boast that ho "cbuld whip any man In tho county," ex claimed, "Evidently I covered too much territory." o with Bulgur boast of whip ping aH creation In the Balkans. Whipped and stripped on every sido in govern ment not only sues for peace but begs for mercy. Had the dashing Envers Bey passed. Up tho chance of recovering lost Turkish territory, the great powers would havo been content to let tne war dogs chow themselves Into a condition ot help lessnees. But with Turkey violating the recently signed Londontreaty, stobUsh Ing tho Ottoman boundary on a Una from Enofl. on the Aegean sea, to Media, on tho Black sea, raises a question ot na tional honor calling for mighty delicate treatment Will the powers get together In o. demand for Turkey's retirement be hind the treaty llneT It Is possible, but the probabilities aro against It. Politi cal considerations Impel the Young Turks now In powor to hold tho recovered terri tory, especially the shrlne-templed city ot Adrlanople, unless again driven out by force. No local force is available. The Balkan state are exhausted by war, and their recovery will take years, even If a reunion Is possible. Force, then, must come from the Dowers. Their Interests In that direction are so diverse and thalr rivalries so fierce that the unexpected will surely happen should they send i Joint expeditionary force to exact com' pllance with the treaty ot London. Tp the chargo of duplicity with respect 10 treaty obligations, the Turks can cite numerous precedents In which the Big Six do not shine as defenders ot the let ter or spirit of wrltten instruments. HieBeesLW oxl It Won't Go Down. OMAHA, July 15. To the Editor of The Bee: That talk about rates charged for public utilities In other cities Having no bearing on rates charged here, does not go down with me. It does not go with other folks, who, like me, have moved here from other cities. When I lived In Lincoln I paid only IS cents for water, for which I was charged 35 cents here. Over in Council Bluffs, with one-fifth the population, I am told, gas sells for the same price It does here. I read In the paper not long ago where our Water board manager, while visiting in Minnea polis and In Milwaukee, made a special Inquiry to learn that gas was sold cheaper there than here, but was care ful to shut his eyes to the much lower price charged for water. If the price In other cities has nothing to do with the case, why waste their tlrne? I am for lower rates all along the line, and the lower the better. O. M. Thnt Threat If You Don't Pny. OMAHA, July 2S.-To the Editor of The Bee: "If this bill Is not paid promptly will be. turned off." Of the four pub- tic service utilities, gas, electric light, telephone and water, guess for which one the bills come to the consumer each month underscored by that Insulting threat? No private concern would use such language In addressing Its patrons, arfd the boss of the Water board wouldn't If he were running a private instead of public enterprise. "If this bill Is not paid promptly water will be turned oft" Now, that is a ntce way to talk to the people. A public of ficer Is supposed to be serving Instead of bossing. "Here, you, gimme dat money fur de montn's water r I'll tur it off. Bee.." That Is a little more grapnia construction of it OLD VOX POPULI. Objects to Sunday Dnnclnr. OMAHA, July 25. To the Editor of The Bee: While myself and wife were en route to Denver, and as we had heard great deal of Omaha, stopped here over Sunday. We think you have a great and prosperous city. Would like to call your attention to one fact that surprised us. We took several street car rides. and got off at Krugs park, which wo found a very pleasant place, but for one great exception, which was the dancing that was going on in full swing. Young girls nnd boys that did not. seem to need any Introduction, seemed to spend their whole time In a mad whirl. We were surprised that Omaha minis ters and mothers and fathers of these young people would stand calmly by and let theso young folks spend the holy day In such a manner. I understand that no public dances aro allowed on Sunday, but surely there are none more public than 'the one going on at a public park, which surely Is harmful to the proper upbring ing of the young people, as the freedom of a public dance floor Is known to every one.

To the Editor of The Bee: I fully agree with "Aunt Ann" concerning the duties Incumbent upon women In relation to the family, and that children should be taught politeness, forbearance and self-respect by their parents, If they are ever expected to prac tice these virtues; duty, like charity, be gins at home, but It does not end there. The natural tendency of the mind toward evil, together with the corrupt environ ment of the age, are conditions that the best possible home training Is not always able to overcome; and unless the Internal structure of society be altered. or greatly modified, wickedness and folly will continue to predominate. Saloons and dives must be driven out, white slavery must be abolished, our literature, dance halls and play houses must be purified, and the suffrages of women are needed to accomplish this great work of reform ing the laws. It Is true that the laws cannot make peopie goou, dui mey can remove a great many temptations that are the prlm causes of so many going bad. Whether women are less Intelligent than men Is not worth disputing about: but without any desire to flatter the fair sex, I hold the opinion that they are more honest and more truthful, and have more patience than the men. While men dispute for years over speculative Drob- lems, Boma'of which do not affect our practical life one way or the other, a woman arrives at conclusions by the simplest operations of the mind. A woman Is seldom wrong on any question that Involves the moral training of children. but many of them are wrong when they feel themselves competent to Im press the mind of a child with such strong sense of Its duty to society and Itself, that It will be able to resist any and all temptations to act otherwise. One of the best ways to prevent a child overeating Is to. remove the food; the best way to reform drunkards and pre vent crime, poverty and wretchedness, is to remove the bottle and barrel; for the Intelligence of the average man or woman is not many degrees aoove- tnat of a child; I have seen men drink lemon ex tract, pure alcohol, bay rum. pepper sauce and vinegar, pain killers by the pint, paregoric and other brands of poison; and some say there are men who drink gasoline, red Ink and creosote. It Is often but a few short steps from wine to stale beer, and the dance hall and alcohol are twin brothers. If voting will remedy some ot the existing evils, let us sll vote "early and often." E. O.
