m Some Dry Pacts;
Tho figures furnished by the local
weather bureau show that 9.65
Inches of rain fell in Omaha between
May 1 and August 31, of this year
in other words, for a period of four
months. Moro than halt that amount
fell in May, '6,27 iuchea as. agalnBt
4.38 Inches for June, July and Au
gust combined. August war the dry
est of all, and tho dryest August In
tho history of tho local weather
office, yielding but 8 Inches of rain,
which is so slight as to bo practically
negative. Only on fivo days In Au
gust did even a fow drops, of rain
fall, tho minimum being ,01 and the
maximum J. 12, inches. And yet In
deficiency of rainfall since March 1
we are ahead of tho record of either
1911 or 1012. Tho deficiency up to
August 31 for tho prcsont year was
0.22 inches, for 1012 7.33 Inches, for
1011 12,84 Inches. But that is no
consolation to folks who have swel
tered and suffered as we hare for
threo months virtually' without cessa
tion. In August there were but
eeren days on which tho mercury did
not go aboro 00, while on ten days
it reached, or exceeded, 100.
One of tho anomalies of this un
precedented season has beon the ut

Tho Eight Idea.
The peoplo of Lincoln have an agree
ment among themselves that no accelera
tion of prices ought to bo permitted dur
ing the week of the fair. In some spe
cial cases the expense of preparing for
extra service may justify a slight in
crease in rates, but as a rule the profits
arising from the fair trade' ought to come
from the increased volume of business
and not from advanced prices. The State
fair will be worth nothing to this com
munity unless It sonde visitors away
with a kindly feeling toward the city
and a knowledge that It In peopled by
friendly, public-spirited, liberal Nebras
kans, and not by a crowd of mercenaries
who look upon a gathering of this kind
only as an opportunity to rake in a few
unearned dollars. Lincoln Journal.
This is tho right Idea, but mighty
hard, as the experience of overy city
proves, to put into practical effect.
A Dummer resort community that
lives off of tourists may go on the
thoory of getting all that can be got
ten without thought of a possible
second chanco at the rlotlra, but a
city or town aiming to build Itself
up as a permanent business center
must do the right thing by its vis
itors every day in the year and all
the time. . The obligation to do the
right ;k4g',vWQreover, devolve upon
eW&fson doing business in the

ae Omaha, we believe, comes as
near living up to the desired rule as
any city, but an ever watchful vig

parents of these same children would

Of course, tho average man, woman or

Why have we expert opticians and

cot, then why do we allow stores and
street fakirs to fit glasses to the human
eye without first having a license to
practice?
Now, this Is going on not only In
Omaha, but In overy city over 6,000 popu

It Is not right that the American people
should ruin their eyesight by using win

tested by some reliable optician for $5
or tlO. Some say thoy can't afford It.
Well, that's strange. 1 should think they
couldn't afford to have their eyesight
ruined for the small sum ot 15 or $10.
Why should Wo not stop the sale of
these so-called spectacles to save the
eyesight of the American people?

THOMAS WOLFE.
Wooater to Echols.
SILVER CREEK, Neb., Aug. 81. To
the Editor ot The Bee: I must again In
terrupt tho regular course of this very
Irregular religious discussion in an at
tempt to assauge some ot tho heartaches
ot my young friend, Francis II. Echols,
ot Columbus. I have known Francis for
some years, and am proud to be able to
call him my friend, as I am his friend.
He Is yet in tho high school. By nature
of brilliant mind, and filled with en
thusiasm, he has his ideas and his ambi
tions, and, spread out beforo him, I see
brilliant future. The only thing I can
think of to prevent tho boy's full reali
sation of It Is to use a vulgar term,
that ho should get tho "big head," as do
so many of our young men and women
who graduate at our colleges and uni
versities and vainly Imagine themselves
to bo fat superior to the common herd
of mortal men,
Francis need not let his mind be per
turbed because of the Columbus party
who, in a despicable way, assumed to
personate him a man too Ignorant to
understand plain "United States," and so
muoh of an ass that he could refer
Ironically to a familiar quotation from
Shakespeare as a "learned and refined
expression for dying." He can now see
that tho advice I gave him several
months ago to sign his own proper name
to his articles, was good.
When it first occurred to mo to say ot
the "anonymous gentleman from Colum
bus" that he "thought he was a Chris
tlan, but evidently was not," I con-
siaerea mat i was paying him a very
high compliment He showed by his
letter that he was fair-minded, honorable.
upright kindly, benevolent, and with
out a revengeful or vindictive spirit Such
persons are very rare among Christians,
and to say of such a one without quail
flcatlon that he Is a Christian, Is to cast
on him undeserved suspicion. However,
I do not think young Echol's religion
will hurt him very much. That solid
substratum of excellence given him by
nature ought to bo a strong shlel
against that and his many sterling na-,
tural qualities ought to havo a strong
uplifting tendency as to the Christians
with whom he may be associated.
My young friend Echols advised Mr.
John Soto to get a Bible with the say
ings of Christ in black-face type and
to study them carefully. If Mr. Soto
should do so, among those sayings ot
Christ he would find tho following:
If any man como to me and hate not
his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea,
and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple, (Luke R 28.i
Substitute the wiord "Christian" in
the above passage for the word "disciple,"
and the meaning is precisely the same.
But Francis Echols does not hate that
father of 'his, nor that dear old mother
Who brought him into the world and
nwsed him at her breast therefore
Francis Echols is not a Christian. But
he Is something for better.
"1 have my belief a belief that a
Christ who teaches brotherly lovo and
kindness Is dally with us," says my
young friend, Echols. But how much
of brotherly love and kindness can ho

Fortunate people ot Omaha, Council

in our churches wo havo those who
exhibit such Intolerance as Rev. Sterer
manifests In his article. "A Crfui
Diagnosis of tho Case," and heartily
commend the spirit expressed In Mr.
JSehole letters, "Falrplay" and "In tho
Interest of Truth."
Btubborness and Impatience are not
attributes of our highest nature, which
urges that overy question bo argued be
fore the bar of reason. The thoroughness
or tho inquiry depends upon the develop
ment and efficiency of this faoulty. Thus
we hav the four stages ot reasoning,
dogmatism, agostlclsm, skepticism and
criticism established.
Those whom we would class as dognat
lsts, agostlcs and skeptics, draw their
conclusion based on prejudice, false
analogies, lack of knowledge and wrong
impressions, consequently wrong concep
tions ot life result
Too many ot our one-horse phlllsophers
hang on to their conclusions with bulldog
tenacity, due to stubbornness and Impa
tience and never reach the highest stago
of reasoning, namely, criticism. The
true philosopher Is a critic, seeking to
know the truth for truth sake.
Why not give Mr. Wooster the benefit
of a doubt, believing that ho is trying to
weigh his conclusions by having others
analyze thpm Jn, their ,Hght. Instead of

Alfalfa for the noadsldrs.
DAVID CITY. Neb., Sept. t To the
Editor ot The Bee: I was pleased to read
your editorial advocating the raising ot
alfalfa along the public highways by our
farmers, and I trust you will agitate this
question until the objects sought are
accomplished, enriching our farmers by
adding largely to the Income from waste
land and bringing prosperity to all kinds
of business In this state.
Owning a number ot farms, I noticed
that the weeds growing along the high
way acd seeding our adjoining farm
land could be displaced by alfalfa, and
some three yoars ago tried to persuade
our county board to grant permission to
each farmer to Utilize about twelve feet
ot the pubUo roads for alfalfa, basing
my argument on the decision ot a chief
justice ot the Vnlted States, declaring
that which was not prohibited by law
could be appropriated for the public good.
As there was no law on the statute books
the county board did not wish to i
lume the responsibility of granting this
permission. Senator C. M. Sklles sought
to have a law passed to meet this right
to grant permission, but It failed to get
the required support of our legislators.
