Ak-8ar-Ben's Welcome,
Today for the nineteenth time
King Ak-Sar-IJen throws open tho
gates of his imperial city to all tho
subjects of Qulvera and bids them
welcome.
Omaha can hope no more for Its
friends and neighbors than that they
will enjoy this autumn's festivities
beyond their enjoyment of any of tho
eighteen that have preceded. Ak
Sar-Ben has exerted renewed efforts
at planning tho best and most whole
some entertainment, and wo have
thrown-tho. latchstrlng, door and all,
away for tho common Joy and fellow
ship.
No such festival, of which we know
has held much a steady grip upon the
Interest of the;pcople as Ak-Sar-Bcn.
Its' remarkable' success manifestly is
duo to Its happy combination of in-
structlon and pleasure for tho multi

The Bishop's Sage Advice.
Bishop Bristol of tho Mothodlst
Episcopal church gives good advlco
to tho ministers of his denomination
in. telling them to eschew worldly
pursuits la connection with their
sacred calling. Tho man of tho cloth
is proverbially nn easy mark for the
get-rlch-qulok gentry. One roason
Is because, as tho bishop says, he murft
glvo his whole time and energies to
leading and feeding the flock. Balnt
Paul In his first epistle to his young
and favorlto friend, Timothy, laid
down Just' such an Injunction as does
tho bishop, warning the brethren to
bo "not greedy of filthy lucro." I
But thoro is another side to the'
question. Is tho church doing Its part
to make It reasonably easy for Its
ministers to .got along on their
ministerial incomes? Many of the
Protestant churches, in issuing their I
"calla" to' pastors pledge them such
salaries ae will enable them to live
freofrom- "worldly cares and per
plexities." Tho church, Itself, admltoi
that It does not always live up to this
pledge; that it too often underpays
1U pastor, making it extremely hard
for him to koep himself and family
up to tho level of their social sta
tions. Very recently k prominent
churchman contributed an article to
a leading church paper rebuking tho
church for Its neglect of Its ministers
and oven suggesting celibacy among
Protestant preachers as a means ot
enabling them to live within their in
comes.

Attention, Mr. County Attorney,
OMAHA, 8ept 2l-To the Editor of
The Bee: (sometime ago your paper did
(valiant ftervloes In closing one of tho dives
on lower Sixteenth street Again you
have an opportunity to cIobo another
place that ts, If anything, worse, by turn
ing the searchlight of publicity -on the
place. The writer Is referring to tho Cal
ifornia hotel on California and Sixteenth
streets, the proprtotor or which was fined
WOO and costs yesterday for running a
disorderly house. It appeared that at ah
early Sunday .morning carousal ' In the
bar room In the rear qf this hotel, several
of tho women who frequent this place
had a dispute and, one was severely In
jured. The proprietor, who waa fined,
was bound over to tho district court about
four months ago or so on the charge of
aiding and abetting the delinquency of a
minor. It has been hinted that he would
not bo brought to trial on this charge.
The proprietor of thl.i place' has. also
stated that he did not fear el.her the
police or the sheriff, as he had u suffi
cient pu) to withstand both of them.
Now, Mr. Editor, this letter Is written
to ask your paper to show these people
that their pull ts not worth a cent when
your paper will' start after them.
