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

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

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. S. ARION LEWIS.

Cuts that print
Thoro Is often all the difference In the world between
a cut that shows up well In the engraver's proof and one
that shows up well when It Is printed. Cuts made for a
newspaper have to ho made so that they will give good
results under the most adverso conditions. For that rea
son, a newspaper engraving plant produces cuts that the
ordinary printer can use and get good results.
If you have sqme engraving to b'e, done, send us the
work and compare both the results and the prices with that
ot ordinary engraving plants.

The Quiet Life.

Abljah Jones, lcmoved from strife.
Just revels In the quiet life
Ho Is content with simple fars,
And company Is caviare.
He never will speak to a mold.
And of all women Is afraid.
He thinks that travel Is too dear.
And goes to town but once a year.
At cockcrow he will rub his eyes.
And some time later will arise.
Alone with chickens and a hen,
A shont or two within his pen,
A cow, a yellow dog and mule,
He cares not who the land may rulsw
He knows not of things that amuse.
And novtr onco has read the news.
The world's metropolis m ght sink
Of sleep he'd never lose a wink.
Volcanoes spouting liquid fire,
Earthquakes with consequences dlr
Elections, wars and mighty haps
For theso he doos,not enre two rapsk
Ho owns two acres and a shack.
And with his work Is always slack.
He'll putter 'round when weather let
And when It rains he "sets an' sets."
His grub would wreck a bill of far,
And some would list it as hardware.
The rules of helth to him are Greek,
But doctors ho needs never sock.
Such life the hyglenlst mocks.
But thero you havo tho parudoxl
