What Omaha Needs.
Otio thing that Omaha needs, and
needs badly, is a houso-cleanlng In
Its legal fraternity.
Perhaps Omaha Is no worse than
ther cities In this respect, and por-t
haps there are other places in Omaha
that need house-cleaning just as
much, but the legal shysters and
crooked lawyers infesting the bar
here, eager to lend thomsolveg to any
scheme that looks liko money regard-
ess of the character of the client,
ready to use porjurcd witnesses, and
sometimes to resort to Jury-flxlng,
and pursuing their pernicious prac
tices without interruption or protest,
reflect sadly upon the clean and rep-
utable lawyers who disdain such dirty
work, and who, we aro happy to say,
constitute, tho vast majority of our
awyora.
But a drop of vinegar will sour a
whole pail of milk, and tho free and
unimpeded operations of tho legal
grafters and parasites throws a cloud
upon tho wholo profession and leads
.10 ignorant to bollevo that any law
yer will do anything for anyone who
hires him by promising him half tho
ill-gotten procoods.
Unfortunately, this is not a new
condition, nor aro all tho unscrupu
lous and crooked lawyers counted
among tho lowly, as some distin
guished gontlemon havo boon known
to get theirs by shady routes,
There ought to be manhood and
courago enough among tho decent

do it before tho job gets any bigger.

Twice Told Tales
, The Bible and the Tariff.
'The American Bible socloty takes
occasion to refute a report of tho con
templated transfer of its 'principal
headquarters and publishing plant
from Now York to Japan, whero labor
Is cheaper, as a consequence of tho
free listing of Bibles under tho now
tariff law. "Tho socloty has taken
no action whatovor with relation to
the mattor," says the authorized
statement.
Consulting tho ninety-sixth annual
report of tho society under date of
1912, wo find that It is now printing
tho Blhlo in eighty-four languages
other than English, and that it haB
for a long time maintained its plants
In foreign lands. It has a Japanese
publishing house at Yokohama,
where last year it printed 0,536 Bi
bles in Japanese, 01,338 New Testa
ments and 47,644 portions, 1 also
published equally large numbers of
tho Bible in tho Korean and English
languages and Philippine dialects at
tho eamo plant, it has publishing
plants at Shanghai, China; Foochow,
Hinghwa and Bangkok, Slam; Beirut,
Arabia; Constantinople and other far
eastern points.
Though tho oppression of free
trade will undoubtedly be felt In
many lines of industry, It would
seom that Bible publication, it any
thing, might afford It, slnco under
the American Bible society it is not
carried on primarily as a monoy-
making enterprise, but according to
the society's official statement, "Tho
society has existed for nearly 100
years to promote tho translation, re
vision and circulation of the Bible as
a missionary agency throughout tho
United States and foreign lands, giv
ing It away to the poor and needy
wherever they are unable to pay for
it" And with an unparalleled circu
lation, this book has become a dy
namic force In the civilization, social
and Industrial progress of mankind.

Editorial Snapshots
The Danes nnd the Germans.
OMAHA, Oct 8.-T0 the Editor of Tho
Bee; Answering communication signed
"A Danish-American" in today's Issue, 1
wish to remind him of a few facts In
Danish history.
It Is quite unfortunate that there should
bo any feeling between Danes and Ger
mans, for which there Is no good reason,
but which originates from Denmark's loss
of Schleswlg-Hoistcln, originally a purely
German state. In 1448 a German prince,
Christian of Oldenburg, ascended the
Danish throne, and at the same time waa
elected duke of Schleawlg-Holsteln. Hoi
stein was altogether German, and In
iSchleswIg, Germans predominated. Dur
ing the many vicissitudes or war, and
the changing fortunes of the Scandina
vian states prior to the above mentioned
time, as well as since and during the
thirty years of war. many political
changes and readjustments took place,
but Schleswlg-Holsteln waa always pre
dominated by Germans. From Valdemar
Jd In 1202 to the union of Calmar ln 1337,
when, under Queen Margaret, the so
called "Semiramls of the north," all of
Skandlnavla, I. e., Norway, Sweden and
Denmark, were united under Danish rule,
and until the ascendency of Sweden un
der Its great king, Gustav Adolf. Den
mark was at Its best, and Is fully entitled
to Its place ln history as one of the
groat states of the north. Since the
thirty years of war it has declined, and
Is now a country of about 15.000 eauaro
miles with about two and a half million
population, as against Germany with
209,000 square miles and sixty-five million
population.
Danish people instead 'of harboring any
grudge against Germany, should remem
ber that It really owes a grudge to the
(English, from which the "Justice lovlns
native American" to which your corres
pondent refers. Is descended. In 1807
England besieged Copenhagen and con
fiscated the entire Danish navy. In 1814
England compelled Denmark to cede
Norway, a Danish state, to Sweden.
Now as to Schleswlg-Holsteln, In 1840
t)hq Danish government Issued orders
encouraging the Danish language to the
prejudice of German In Bchleswip. cans
lng elements of revolution to arise In
that province, which ln 1848 broke out
openly. A German prlco of Augusten-
burg heading a provisional government
proclaimed at Kiel. This Insurrection Den
mark throttled with an Iron hand at the
battle of Idsted In July, 184. The victory
of the Danes was recognized by Prussia
and the Duchies Schleswlg-Holstoln were
left to their fate. Upon the death of
King Frederlk, tho 7th, of Denmark, In
0363, the pretender to the throne of
Schleswlg-Holsteln, a duke of Augusten-
burg, proclaimed himself as Frederlk,
the 8th, and was supported by Prussia
and Austria, from which resulted the
war of 1864. In this war Denmark had
counted upon the assistance of England
and Franco, which, however, did not ma
terlallxo, and was thus after a heroic
struggle overcome by tho superior armies
of Prussia and Austria.
It had been agreed upon between Prus
sia and Austria that north Schleswlg,
that Is, the Danish speaking part, and
Alsen, should eventually bo restored to
Denmark, but In 1868 when Austria came
to blows with Prutsla and was defeated,
that agreement was Ignored by Prussia
(not by Germany, remember) and Schleswlg-Holsteln
became a Prussian province.
Now If there Is any 111 feeling it
should be strictly between Danes and
Prussians, not between Danes and Ger
mans, because Germany at large gave
no moral support to the annexation of
(Schleswlg-Holsteln to Prussia. Prussia
was aggressive and annexed Hanover
and other principalities beildes Schles
wlg-Holsteln, therefore there Is no good
reason for talking about "a German Iron
heel which mercilessly throttled the Dan
ish nation." Besides that your Danish-
American co-respondent has entirely
misunderstood your editorial, which
merely called upon other foreign ele
ments to emulate the example of the
IGermans by making themrelves known
to the public by similar demonstrations,
same as the Germans did. Tho Germans

Cuts that print
There Is often all the difference ln tho world between
a cut that shows up well in the engraver's proof and one
that shows up well whon it is printed. Cuts made for a
newspaper havo to be made so that they will give good
results under tho most adverse conditions. For that rea

If you have some engraving to bo' done, send ua tho
work and compare both the results and the prices with that
of ordinary engraving plants.
