Easy for August.
In tho matter ot good conduct,
August, ns tho last month of the
summer, has an easy record to sur
pass in the precedents sot by Juno
and July, bothf'of which wcro unusu
ally hot and dr? !n this, Iminddlnto
vicinity and In many" soctlons over
tho country. August may go. to con
siderable length in misbehavior with
out exceeding what has already been
dono to us this season, though it is
tq bo hoped It will "let not ambition
mock its useful toll" and prompt vnlh
aspirations when, there Is loft for It
so much -really to do In compensating
for deficiencies' gone before.
Caprice and folly may do for giddy
months like June and July, but never
for August, whoso very nnmo sug
gests' soberness, dignity and respect
for the rights and comfort of hu
mnnlty. We hopo this quiet appeal
to Its sense of decbrurn will not bo In
vntn. Thero Is a thno for all thlngB,
as old authority tells un; a time to
weep, as well as a time to laugh,
bo, while wo deslro the sunshine, we
need the rain; a time to mourn and.
n tlmo to dance. Folks havo dono a
good deal -of both lately mourned
for relief from' and dnncod to tho
tuno of 100 In the shndo until they
aro weary and worn and havo a right
to expect better trentment.
Heed the Danger Signal.
All right! It Is well to have tlieso
propositions "understood In advance.
Tho gas compnny pooplo favor tho
gas company franchise because thoy
honestly bc1iev6 ' it is a good thing
for the" company.
Tho mayor and city council favor
tho gas company frnr.chiso com
promise because they honestly think
it a good thing for the pcoplo,
Opponents fighting tho gas com
pany franchise . compromise aro
against it nocauso thoy honestly
think it a bad thing for tho pooplo.
Unfortunately, however, as the de
bate proceeds, and tho hoat units
tend to exceed tho candlo power, tho
danger la that thoy will all bo accus
ing ono another of. sinister motives
and malign purposos.

With glowing descriptions of the
physical excellence and progresslvo
and hospltablo spirit of the city. It
invites and attracts large numbers of

of an Amorlcan convention city. Iloro

Tho "climate la inviting for these
gatherings In summer. Yes, but .let
"us not discount tho chlof point 6t in
terest the. fact that this busy, bust
ling metropolis on tho threshold of
the Canadian frontier, stands out as
a loadstono, attracting mutual inter
ests on both sides of the Dominion
lino. This Is doubtless a much moro
potent factor in the unifying and
harmonizing of international inter
ests than may bo cotnmonly roallzod
on first suggestion. Of courBo, very
intimate practical relations botwoeit
the Dominion of Canada and tho
Un)ted States of America is inevita
ble. Economics controls the situa
tion, and econ6mlcs is pragmatic, not
sontlmontal. Whllo history mado
Canada an .English province, geog
raphy mado it a nexUdoor neighbor
of tho United States, and more and
more, as tho two countries come to
appreciate the valuo and advantages
ot this relation, tho clotor thoy will
make it .
Putting it Up to the Clergy.
Tho Society for the Friendloss pro
poses to put up squarely to tho clergy
thp responsibility for securing eu
genic marriages. It has authorized
a resolution to be submitted to tho
various annual church conventions In
the autumn, which, if adopted, will
commit the mlnistors performing
marriago ceremonies to require cer
tificates of sound physical condition
of both parties. The resolution pro
ceeds on tho thoory that social vlco
la largoly attributable to physical de
linquencies avoidable by proper re
strictions.
Some ministers over the country
have begun on their own initiative,
without waiting for compulsory ac
tion by their ecclesiastical author!
ties, to make uuch demands upon
couples cooking matrimony, But
this resolution in itself is an admis
sion of tbe need for some power to
make tho practice general. Cer
tainly tho clergy should take tho lead
in any movement calculated to exalt
the sanctity of the family aluir and
purify the wellsprlng ot life, Here
in a chance to make good on high-
sounding resolutions and what seems
to be a solemn duty. Such reserva
tions may. conflict seriously with
money-making matrimonial bureaus,
which ask only possession of tho
legal license, but the clergy can, If it
will, exact more without waiting for
tne law-makers to do so.
It seems that down ut Lincoln the
home rule charter Is likewise being
fmmed by a sub6ommitteo to bo cOn
sldered and acted upon by the whole
charter convention when reported
out It is fair to presume, then
that its opponents will try also to
make capital by calling it a "star
chamber Charter,"

The Pleasure Iloat.
To the Editor of Tho Bee: Being nc
qalnted at one time with' tho owner of
an exourston boat .In Cleveland, O., I
took the liberty of calling his attention
to the disgraceful performances taking
Place every night on this pleasure "raft
As near as I can remember his reply was
as follows:
lnlh'n"f bBai. V1? wharf evor" ven.

in thi 2J,hi lJ nl'ow the coke fiends
and the soiled men of the town to come
ar!!iaTdana tahe. pa.1 ,n thB festivities,
and I believe this plan will prove bene,
ricial to both classes, for If the Bhame-
?J!5 "fld H".ty 08 flowed to mix with
modesty and Innocence they may be per.
suaded to amend their lives and reform
their manners. On tho other hand, If a
young working girl can pass through thU
Hery furnace of temptation and still re
main good her power of resistance will
be fully demonstrated and her friends
will acknowledge that the day of mira
cles Is not yet passed. I allow no liquors
to be sold on hoard except the best, and
no man or girl can be served after they
become too weak to call the waiter. At
11 o'clock the boat stands five miles off
shore and I order all the lights out on
both decks so that those who wish to
talk over the business and political af
fairs of the day may do so without being
Interrupted or embarrassed, After sacri
ficing my personal interests In order to
benefit the community I am continually
harrassed by the newspapers, bled by the
county attorney and the police force and
called to account by men like yourself
who being corrupt ot heart see harm In
everything. This boat returns In the
morning In tlmo for all who have recov
ered from their seasickness to no to work
and those who are Indisposed must
straighten up and leave the boat by din
ner time. To moke a long story short,
he continued, I have no use for u re
former nor a prude. There Is no harm
In drinking beer and ragging, unless we
think so. There Is no harm In singing
"vulgar songs unless we make harm out
ot it. There Is no such thing as vul
garity it Is only our Imagination that
makes It appear so. When a man sits
and falls asleep over a bottle he Is as
harmless as a bell boy, and when a glut
ton rises from the table, nothing could
Induce him to engage In a street Tght.
I hold the opinion that liquor and "to
bacco, if moderately usd, are good for
the health, but a man should never drink
more than his stomach will hold. Let u
have everything wide Open, I say. Let
the sexes get together and amuse them
selves, and because a few go to the bad
Is no reason for restraining the rest.
'Parents who are unwilling to trust their
children un my excursion boat at night,
where' there are' plenty of men to look
after them, ought not have children, and
I hope I have made myself clear.
I saw at once that the man was shrewd
enough to hypnotize his own conscience
and "make tho worse appear the better
cause," so. I strolled away without mak
lngxany rejoinder. E. O. M.
A Sample of Several.
OMAHA, July 31. To tho Editor of The
Bee: I wish to commend your public
nerv!co rendered In establishing a place
In your office where children's street
ear tickets are sold. I have availed my
selt of your courtesy twice. I would not
feel quite right about It It I did not refer
to It in this way. H.

him remark:
"It's for a bench in the cool, Jhady

Of we.ll advised Industry, day after day,
But the habit of thrift, once Inculcated,

To enough to establish a largo bank ac

Ohi what shall I do when I struggle
some day
For a method ot giving my surplus
away?
Shall I sit up at night In an effort to
show
That the wealth Is not tainted which I
would bestow?
Shall I scan the geography, seeking lo
find
A spot Unto gratitude, freely Inclined?
Shall I pant In the eager phllantropists'
race
With expert accountants all over the
place?
Nayl Nay! When kind hearts scatter
benefits free
Some one to encourage tho causq thera

So I sit where It's breery and shady and
warm,
A subject for uplift, a mark for reform."
