The Gate City of the West.
Tho proposal, in connection with
the latest projector coaBt-to-coast au
tomobile highway, to call Omaha tho
Midway City should remind us of
Omoha'a nominal and actual distinc
tion as tho Gato City of the West, a
proud title eecurod first by geograph
ical location and thon by territorial
development Because of its pecu
liar location, Omaha became the east
ern terminus and Official headquar
ters of tbo first transcontinental lino,
tho building of which linked the two
oceans and marked America's advent
as a world power. Nor has tho com
ing of othor transcontinental lines
altered our pro-eminence as tho typ
ical uato Olty, becauso tho route
reaching out from Omaha is tho
shortest over survoyod from tho Mis
souri river to tho Pacific coast, mak
ing it, therefore, the most practical.
Tho permanence of the Omaha
gateway is thus secure It is, in fact,
tho Gate City of tho West, whether for
sentimental reasons It bo called tho
Midway City or by any other pleasant
natno. Here through this portal
during the years of trade conquest
and agricultural development have
poured the advancing armies west-
ward. Hero In oarly days was tho
outfitting station for tho pioneers
and prospectors, following tho "star
of omplro," or seeking tho golden
fleece, and hero will this great gato
to the west continue to swing open
as tho multitudes of omplro builders
pass through. The stern necessities
of business, more than mero Senti
ment) make Omaha what it Is to the
west and to tho east.
The Difference.
Tho Omaha Beo condemn right
roundly the caucus rule that hae proven
so effective at Washington, but It has
not found time yet to commend Senator
Hitchcock for repudiating It Lincoln
Star.
If tho senator's spectacular walk
out from tho caucus, and his Iator
denunciation of It wore sincere and
on tho square he would bo entitled
to unstinted commendation. No ono
believes, however, that if the demo
cratic caucus bad accepted his pet
Scheme, and by caucus decreo bound
every domocratio senator to vote for
it, and to voto down all amendments
to It, there would havo been any
walkout. The senator has been In con
gress for nearly a doien yeara par
ticipating In party caucuses right
along without finding any fault with
them. To an ouUlder it looks as If
he were declining now to play only
because the others will not play his
way, an4, licMaa tally, because an
ether distinguished Nebraska demc
at sits aearer the heat! of the pres-
'aaatial table.
Telk fer tke Oakiaet?
Aa, interesting yettUcel fall- aur-
rousas the appolatmeat of Jeeesk W,
Folk, forssef geveraer ef 'MtoseaHi to
the peeitiea ef solicitor for the State
experts eat The story ruas that Mr.
Folk, who was one of the "presi
dential possibilities" prior to tho
BaUlsaere convention, would havo
declined this office but for the
promise of a promotion to something
better later on, something "equally as
attractive to him as a United States
sonatorshlp, otherwise ho would re
main in Missouri and run against
Senator William Joel Stone at the
end of his term. Tho next Chapter
reveals tho plan of Secretary Bryan
to retire and be succeeded by Mr.
Folk and this is the story, Itself.
It must be confessed that stranger
things have happened. Folk in
strong with Bryak and Bryan with
Wileea' aad few have believed that
Brxaa would loag remain In the
cabinet, Farther, the atory says that
both the prestdeat and Mr. Bryan
have heea for three months urging
Mr, Folk te accept hie new position
and that he finally assented only on
thle assurance. Leading color to the
rumor Insofar as it touches the sen
atorshlp, is Senator Stone's ardently
avowed gratification at Mr. Folk's
appointment
Wiitle Mr, Folk has had no publlu
experience calculated to tit him for
the delicate duties of diplomacy, lie
is no worse oft in this respect than
Mr, Bryan and might develop
much moro fitting sense of the
dignity of the office than Bryan and
grow up" to it faster.
Governor Suitor has finally como
to the conclusion that he is not en
titled to act as governor when under
impeachment, which puts in bad a lot
Of learned commentators who have
been arguing In the public prints that
the governor's powers and preroga
tives could not be Impaired by any
thing short of conviction and verdict
of removal. The Nebraska constitu
tion expressly provides that Impeach
ment carries with it suspension of the
officer, and this development proves
that impeachment in Now York Is
essentially the same as impeachment
In Nebraska.
It Is funny that some of our most
sapient and solemn citltens declare
the High School of Commerce a de
lusion and a snare, as well u waste
of taxpayers' money, while others
contend that It is indispensable to
the development of our youth. Take
your choice.
The rubber companies operating in

OMAHA, Sept tt-To the Kdltor of
The Bee. A steam roller? No. A trip
hammer? No. It was only the tiny peep
of cringing mental thralls, living and
dying In an atmosphere of strong Illu
sion, and who lacked either the nerve or
the Intellect to come out Into the open
and dlsouss the halt hour paper on Thurs
day morning, at the time It was pre
sented, and Instead thereof, resorted to
the cowardly trick of the weakling at
the last hour of the convention bn Fri
day, when tho reader of the paper and
most of the members had gone away.
My writings are terse and full of sclenco
and philosophy and are appreciated by
thinkers, whose opinions only do f cherish.
You cannot muzzle a thunderbolt -with
a cobweb, nor stem the tide of Intellec
tual progress that is now sweeping over
tho nation. The ablest and best physi
cians are now teaching how to live the
dally life, so as to prevent disease. In
telligent people are beginning to demand
of their physicians that they teach the
essential facts, and fundamental princi
ples of right thinking and correct living,
so as to enable everyone to resist any and
every kind of germ that may find Its
way into the body. Tho old plan of
"doping" with medicine and cutting out
the end products or results of disease
without careful Instruction how to live
must bo discontinued and people must be
taught how to live the life so aa to pre
vent disease, degeneration and early
dentli.
People must throw aside the fables of
ancient days, and be taught the new
knowledgo of this twentieth century,
Thon will they havo perfect health of
body and brain. And by this I mean,
that condition of all organs and functions,
where all the food Is properly distributed
and used, and where all the Waste prod
ucts are dally eliminated, and where there
shall be activity of function and harmony
of action. This means that the skin,
bowels, kidneys and lungs shall each ho
able to throw out the poisons that only
they can do. pvef y cell of the liver must
do ts duty, so that they w)ll not become
overloaded with poisons and become In
capable of doing .their work. This poison
ing of the blood stream by Improper foods
and failure to get rid of Waste matters Is
the fundamental cause bt all diseases.
If pe6plo would think right And live right
there would be few or no diseases, and
much more than SO per cent of surgical
operations would be unnecessary, because
people knowing how to live and obeying
the law wpuld not have the troubles that
how afflict them. During the year 1913
in Omaha there were N1,TM deaths, of
which it Is safe to say moro than 1,000
Were sacrificed upon the altar of igno
rance. Does It need an earthquake to wake the
People from their sleeping lethargy? is
It not enough when more than 1,000 per.
sons In Omaha, and more than S00.O00 in
this country, go to their graves yearly
through Ignorance of how to live the
life, or through failure to obey and re
spect the laWs of nature? When I preach
the "Gospel of Health" some physicians
and surgeons say I am hurting their
business, and they forthwith proceed to
Ho about me and curse me- But I thor-
oughly appreciate tholr "love taps" and
thank them for their deep interest In me
ana my work, wnen tney can Bind a
cloub over an active volcano and put
out ts fires, rwhan they eta' hive the
stars Of Infinite space within a bwifeel
basket, or condense the lightatnge of
the last century within the capacity bf

clude my paper on "The New Knowledge

I thoroughly appreciate the honor and

AVOCA, la.. Sept 21 To the Editor
of The Bee: Apparently to some of your
readers, tho unsigned letter Is a mooted
question. To my mind thts Is easily ex

has at Some time or another been ap
proached by a near friend with some
thing like thts:
"I want you to gve 'Mr. Know-It-All'
what s coming to him for me. He Is the
worst fellqw I ever saw."
Such expressions often come from men
who pose as church members and leaders
in pnurcn work as welt What? And wo
a Christian nation, with a predor.iIna.tlng
spirit of "do unto others," or "do them
first," and tho services of the newspaper
man enlisted. Let us consider the man
who wants to send In lit thoughts for
publication unsigned. He could hurl the
daggers and arrows of a poisoned mind
before the public and expect the editor
to publish It aa news, and who ia I4
sponsible? Borne censorship Is needed
and the best place to look for it Is to tho
editor who hw built a business of nation-wide
Interest
The nom do pluipe has Its merit For
Instance, some of u farmers that follow
the plow have tdeas we'd like to exprots
and don't want to be thrown Into the

who work In the ditch have bright
thoughts; go home at night and Ull

would spoil all because that Is John
