ROBERT HUNTER, Notary Public. Subscribers lenvinor the city f entirorarilr should bare The Uee moiled to them. Address trill be changed as often as rcqaestod. Voto today or forovor hold your pence. All la quiet along the Papplo again, for the battlo of blues and rods is over. In the ballot box the voto of the Loud Noise welghn no moro than that of the Soft Answer. As if tho tornado had not done enough to Omaha without tho fire flond following In its wako. From a purely physical stand point, Daniel In tho lion's den had nothing on Suiter in tho tiger's lair. No one wishing to keep posted on tho facts in Moxico will bother about reading tho censored Mexican news papers. For a crazy man, Harry Thaw ex hibits moro shrewdness than most pooplo supposed to bo In their right M&sos, Ohio farmers aro said to bo fear ing an early frost Kansas corn farmers -are' sure they have1 had one1, already. Sixteen harvest hands, . robbed ot their summer's savings whllo riding back to town In a refrigerator car, is certainly a cold deal. AH muBt agree that John Llnd in sinuated himself into tho prosonco ot official Mexico as skilfully as If ho had been a star reportor. And don't forget that when you make a compromise each side has to yield some ot Its big claims made for iffect on the other fellow. Northwestern grain farmers havo transferred their auto lamps to tholr harvesters and arc cutting at night. Dark days for the f armor, oh? Out of tho 16,000 registered voters in Omaha less than 400 of them aro enrolled as membora ot the bull moose party. Road the answer in tho stars. Relief from the torrid sun and rainless sky is horaldod at last in Kansas. Of course, the approach ot autumn would naturally bring It In tjme. Statistics show that moro women divorces than natural widows re marry. Nothing surprising In that when remarriage is tho prlmo pur pose ot so many separations. The law requires the saloons to close on election day in mid-summer the same as any other time ot tho ear, hut the drug store soda foun tains will keep open, Tho new Nebraska Board of Con trol has completed Its first Inspection of state institutions. Without di vulging any confidences, we feel safe to say that the finding Is "plenty of room for improvement." And Just think, this same 'Gene Foss, who has somersaulted back Into the republican camp, listed him self for nomination in tho last demo cratlo presidential raco. Politics has its compensations for us, after all. Benton McMillan, thoroughly re pudiated as candidate for re-election as governor by the democrats of Ten nessee, is given a diplomatic ap pointment by President Wilson, which must ha extremely gratifying to the Tennessee democrats. In Indianapolis the city tax rate for the coming year is to he 102 mills, which, Indianapolis property owners are reminded, Is a reduction ot 4 mills from tholr this year's levy. While, of course, something depends upon, the basis of asieesraent, several cities we know ot can get consolation by comparison. Civic Duty. If Omaha has upwards of 130,000 population, it has not less than 25, 000 Inhabitants qualified to vote, yet only somo 13,000 aro duly registered. That means that fully one-third of tho rotors hnvo either neglected to havo tholr names enrolled or havo been prevented from registering by tho exactions of the new Dortlllon system law, and Its palpable applica tion for the purposo of disfranchising timid folks. A special election, however, seldom draws out anywhero near a completo vote, so that If tho total number of ballots cast at the election today equals three-fourths ot the number registered, it will bo n big turnout. There is no good reason, though, why every person who Is registered, and Is in tho city, should not perform his civic duty. The man who doesn't voto shirks an obligation to himself and to tho community. Killing of the Dandelion. In tho Bprlng, when rains woro plentiful and grass luxuriant, tho dandelion thrived, so much, in fact, after severnl seasons of annoying vigor, ns to provoke a public-spirited mayor to proclaim a day for a con certed attack on tho llttlo yollow- headed pest. FoIkb trlod all sorts of methods of extinction, somo of tho moro old-fashioned oven resorting to tho slmplo roincdV of digging them up. But with roots a foot long, this cultivated only tho intensivo prlnci- plo of making two dandelions grow whero but ono grow boforo. Wlso acros shook their heads, then, and said It was all folly to dig dandelions; that they would come and go in dif ferent (masons. But havo you noticed the effect of tho long, hot and dry summer? Those who sprinkle their lawns must ob eorvo that the unsprlnkled parts are much cleaner ot dandelions than thoso freely watered. Evidently, drouth is a remedy. The dandelion must be a wet-weather plant. In balancing accounts with tho weather man, then, set over in his credit col umn this ono item. PerhapB it will not square him with us, for the scoureo might be preferable to tho euro. Nevertheless, lot us glvo credit where credit Is auo, whon tho dandollon raises his yollow head again lot no ono say there 1b no way to kill him oft. Thaw' Escape. Aftor sovon yoars of ceaseless vigil tho Thaw millions seem to havo won at last The plot culminating in the fllsht from Mattoawan was neither concoivod , nor executed without monfcy. "Holplng good fellows who have gotton Into trouble,"' replied ono ot the auto confederates tho day boforo to an inquiry as to his busi ness. With tho probability of others enlisted for tho same purposo, per haps the ourpriso is that Thaw re mained in tho asylum more than f Ivo yoars and a half. And now for tho Investigation. What farces are perpotraled in thy, nnrnn! oh. Investigation! The mur derer is much eafor than if a fugitive trnm nrlann. nwine to the laWS rO- latlng to extraditing insand persons,; so that whatovor tho investigation may show, it is not apt to affect him. But somobody even aside trom those faithful mechanics who carried out) tho plans, Is responsible' for tho de feat of Justice And tho shame ot t all belongs to tho pooplo ot tho state ot Now York, tho Kmplo state ot tho nation. High Cost of Fire Lowes. - According to reliable statistics tho annual fire losses in the United States amount in round numbers to $250,000,000, without counting the loss ot Ute and limb and tho extra high Insurance rates duo to tho extra harard. For most ot these tiros are classified as preventable, therefore thoro la a big element, ot loss In the high rates of Insurance shared by the community at largo, because entering Into tho general high cost ot living. It Is sold that our fire loss costs us annually nearly ten tlmos tho per capita avorago ot six leading coun tries of Europe. The American In dustries says that Including what we pay for maintaining tiro departments aud othor protection, our yoarly flro ox amounts to f G per capita, which comes to 190,000,000 for tho ono group of 15,000,000 Individuals in the employ of the members ot tho National Association ot Manufac turers alone. Of course, wo would maintain tire departments Just as wo do navies and armies, even though wo reduced our flro losses, but the point ot this les son Is still too keen to escape atten tion. Were It not for those periodic; pay checks for their services as Judges and clerks of election, those promi nent club meu, capitalists and lawyers who constitute our election commis sioner's official corps of assistants might have to scrape tor money to keep tho gasoline tank in the auto supplied. Congressman Lobeck backs up the ple-blters in pleading with the de partment at Washington for a- sep aration of the South Omaha and Omaha postofflces. Of course, Mr, Lobeck would expect to award fho plum. Omaha business men may . wish to note this little incident for 'future reference. acWatd LOOKltl TkisD in Omaha, COMPILED ROM DEE.

Chicago News; Action by the public authorities of Chicago to prevent tho use on city thoroughfores of powerful automobile headlights was much too long delayed. Now that tho police aro be ginning to make arrests In the progres sive campaign against blinding headlights one may liopo that tho nuisance will be speedily eliminated. New York World: Tho record of twenty six deaths In New York City due to automobtlo accidents In the month of July presents once more the serious ness of this form of danger. It 'is a menace not only to automoblllsts, but to the publto at large, and Is due mainly to a degree of carelessness in driving that Is simply murderous. New York Times: The good rule to "stop, look, and listen" Bhould bo heeded by all drivers of motor cars when ap proaching n railroad track, no matter how little it may bo used for traffic, or what the hour may be. But chauffeurs will not heed this rule, even with the many frightful accidents resulting from disregarding It ever in their mlrids. Louisville Courier-Journal: Tho day for unguarded grade crossings has passed. When none but horse-drawn vehicles were used, there were tragedies a-plenty, but they were not so numerous as they are nowadays.

Tho slate production of tho United States Is practically confined to the north eastern part ot the country. Although soattered deposits, more or less de veloped, occur elsewhere, the eastern slate Is shipped to supply markets on the west ern coast as well as In the central and southern part of the country. Pennsyl vania is the greatest producer. In Kansas City both the men and the women who work In offices are dissatis fied with tho dress of the other sex. A woman writes to tho Kansas City Star to complain because men remove their coats when at work. A man writes not in reply to this complaint to charge the girls who work in his office with turn In It into a "cabaret show" by their "conspicuous and Immodest attire."

About all the polish some mm arqulro Is tho dime's worth they obtain from a Greek at a ahoe-ahining hole-ln-the-wall.

Yours for Christianity. E, E. BRYANT, Box 53, Bouth Omaha, Neb. OMAHA, Aug. 18. To tVo Editor of Tho Bee: To those of us In tho outer edgo ot tho city without gas, the gas franchise election has a very practical side, as It means gas and at lower rates, now. We aro not Interested In the attempt to mako a political or legal .question out of It, rather than a bustnes proposition. Politics should not enter Into It and tho legal construction has not advanced to that stage. , Dr. Itamsey talks of model charters, etc. That sounds good, but he should consider that a a rule, compromises aro not apt to bo modeis exactly, but a game ot give and take. Zlmman forgets alt about the perpetual franchise granted and sus tained by tho courts, and should not tako a twenty-year agreement so much to heart "Consistency, thou art a Jewel," The gas company has no natural monop oly, such as water would be; if. has ac tive, hard competition from electricity, gasoline, coal oil; any year a ne" d.s covcry may put tho gas compan out of business. Has the gas company', no right to look ahead and to. protect Its Interest Just as a citizen should l do, without being classed as a candldito'tor tho roguo's gallery? Mistakes anil Cor ruption ot tho past havo not alltbeon confined to the gas company and meth ods of revenge are unfair weapons, tqr futuro problems. If this Is correct R,, B. Howeh ought to flro A. B. Hunt for the Jtlhfl nf fhn nabf. Lot me ask, have Harrison, Zlmman. Morrow and many other good men boon on the firing line when things could ha'ite some chanco of correction, or havo they not been voting the "Mark" Hanna ticket while I stuck to tho "Bill" Bryan, program till I am almost broko? A prac tical man like C. F. Harrison outfht to realize that wo real estate men aro not always satisfied with 6 per cent when 0 per cent Is In sight Some more con sistency. Taxpayers wont extension free of coit, fair rates and good service, and aro will ing to allow private capital a goo.l ?e turn on their Interest We are not in terested In tho Idle speculator regarding the cost of gas when we know that the proposed franchise safeguards our rights and that wo can avail ourselves C the protection at all times of tho law of eminent domain to get fair play and Jus tice, and I bollevo foolish all thts talk about not granting this extension. My friend Harrison says for mo not to "mix drinks" while talking gas; ho ought not to object if I use only water. Llttlo dtd I dream when I worked for the mu nicipal water deal that it w,ould mean a charge of CO cents a foot for water pipe extension. Utter nonsense to talk about being olassed as a special benefit rather than a direful necessity. This leads to the conclusion that Omaha is not ready at present for any more municipal ven tures. When I was working for the street extension to Elm wood park my political friend, Zlmman, sold, "Lawls, Wattles is stringing you. Let mo Intro duce an ordlnanco and I will mako him go there." I said, "No, we want the car line and don't want to got In court " It Is history that we have had car sorv ice and Omaha has the uso of 201 acres of pork for two years, because P.im Lewis's and not Harry Zlmman's plan was followed.
