Russia's Ritual Murder Infamy.
"Ya aro the salt of the world. A
city that Js set on. aa hill cannot ho
hid," proclaims the sormon on tbo
mount
That light In nnodod today In dark'
est Russia, where, In the nanio of
Christianity, atrocious crimes are
committed under tho guise of civil
law. Asldo from tbo rcdoemtn
power of that light, the Christian
church should see to It that It shines
no as to set clearly before the world
Its own unmistakable condemnation
of Russian intolerance. No ono of
Intelligence 'supposes that any civil
ized religion does stand for barbaric
cruolty, and Christianity cannot af
ford to bo oven suspocted of sym
pathy with At.
Tho charge of ritual murder
against tho sltnplo Jewish laboror,
Mendel Bellls, Is, of course, a subterfuge-
adopted for want of a better ex
cuses for persecution of a whole race,
but as the Episcopal church in coun
cil at New York points out, Blmllar
charges wore as unjustly preferred
In early times against the Christians.
Illtual murder Is explained aa an ac
cusation that all Jews tho world over
use the blood of Christian children
at Passover to mix with their bread.
Only if sober-minded people any
whero could bo made to believe that,
could Russia hopo to socure a con

The Five: Per Cent Ship Subsidy.
The cjauso In tho new tariff bill
rebating 6 por cent of tho duties on
goods Imported In American vessels
In competition with foreign .bottoms
is generally regarded as an Indirect
ship subsidy, and It soems that, nftor
all the protests of European nations,
President 'Wilson has decldod to
make no effort at the elimination of
tho clause Apparently, he has
hooded tho advlco of Undorwood,
Simmons and other loading demo
crats in congress to keop "hands
off."
Tho domocratto position on ship
subsidy has never boon Quito free
from confusion. Tho platform of
1012 committed tho party against
"bounties or subsidies from the pub
lic treasury," while at the name time
declaring in favor of "the exemption
from tolls of American ships engaged
fn coaatwlce trade passing through
the canal." The same principle Is
here at stake, for what the democrats
seem to object to is doing directly the
thing they propose doing dlslngenu
ously.
Most Americans believe In encour
aging ship-building aa prerequisite to
the rehabilitation of our merchant
marine, but are not agreed as to the
way to do it It strikes us that our
friends, the democrats, are coming
as near to abandoning their former
policy of antagonism to ship subsidy
as they could.
Oh, Gome On In.
When talking about "tho consum
er's ourdon," ami "a reasonable
rate," why go all around tho edge ot
the circle without hitting tho exces
sive and extortionate charge for
water served to consumers In Omaha
In the center? It may be all right to
stir up tho State Railway commission
to roduce frolght rates on apples, but
application ot the same loglo In
Its essentials to our "robber" water
rate would relieve the pocketbook
ot every householder in Omaha.
Again the consumer's burden"
docs not consist exclusively ot the
high price ot meat. It Is possible
to eat more or lees meel, er even
none at all, but no family can get
along without water even for one
day, The high price ot water In a
big city like Omaha Is an equally
vital issue, and within reach.
Wo throw out these suggestions
merely in poasluffvin order to again
Invito our amiable conteciporar to

Antl-Frat Law Upheld.
High school boys will do well to
observe that tho appellate court ot
Illinois haa upheld the right of school
boards to rule against high school
fraternities and expel pupils defying
orders prohibiting them from Joining
such societies. The decision grew
out ot a case appealed from a Chi
cago nign scnooi board and court,
successively, and may apply gen
erally.
It seems absurd for such an issue
ever to have been raised In face of
the unanimity of sentiment among
educators as to the bad Influence ot
the fraternity in tho high school.
Young men should get this clearly In
mind, that school boards are not prot
hlbltlng such fraternities as a dental
ot their rights, but rather as equal
ising opportunities to the boys, as a
means of removing very serious ob
stacles In the course of their lite
training.
Fraternities in high school have
been found to hinder rather than to
help, as a rule, the boy's chances for
scholarship. Indeed, even at college
they nave precisely the same ton
dency, according to eminent educa
tors, and several ot the larger collego
presidents are en record as declaring
tbo fraternity to bo Inimical to
scholarship.

From State Press

to send a marked copy to Governor Foes,
democratic chief executive of tho com

others who will be pleased to get the

of the Norfolk Press, haa been advised
that the postmaatershlp to which she as

sex haa never been raised as a barrier
to her conduct of & newspaper, to her
boosting of party candidates and meas
ures, and that It cannot be consistently
raised now aa an obstacle to reward for
her aervlcea. Newspaper people were

OMAHA, Oct li-To tha Editor ot Tha
Bee: Disease doea not originate because
ot garbage piles, sewer gas or dumps,
however offensive they may be. Dlph
therla, typhoid fever, and scarlet fever
hav never been traced to aewer gas.
Tha terminal disinfection ot rooms, cloth
ing, etO.,.jin common ua after scarlet
fever, small pox and diphtheria Is ot
no appreciable value. Almost every muni
cipal health department In thla country
la devoted to combating Imaginary dan
gtrs, or applied to tasks that havo little
or no bearing on tha publlo health. Thla
la duo largely to the pressure of public
opinion, based, aa It Is. on wrong or
antiquated conceptions ot tha main causes
ot dlseaao and the ways of preventing
disease. Physicians hav claimed by far,
too milch for tha "Oerm Theory" of
disease, and have overlooked tho great
est'ond almoat the sole Cause of disease,
viz, tha pollution ot the blood stream
from an Improper In-take of food and a
deficient out-put of waste matter.
In th maintenance of health the ques
lion of prime Importance la body drain
age the non-absorption of poUons and
tho elimination ot whatever poisonous
matter may be produced within the blood
and the alimentary canal before there
haa been Inaugurated a vicious oyele
of events, which constitutes th for.
runner of disastrous end-results.
Ono of th Important bacteriological ad
vances of the last few years has been
tho discovery that a considerable number
of healthy persons, convalescents and
others, harbor various kinds of so-called
pathogenic or wrongly called disease
breeding germs, and yet these persons do
not get the disease, because ot their
strong power of resistance, furnished by
their own pure blood stream, though the4
ame carrier of germs may be the source
of infection to those people whoa blood
stream la contaminated by on, acoumu
lotion of watte matters not eliminated.
Every ono of ua nearly every day, or
at least very' often, takes Into our body,
by tha atr we breathe, by tho food wo
eat or tho liquids wo drink, countless
myriads of tuberculosis bacilli and other
germa, and all thla with perfect aecurlty
to us. because ot the resistive power we
possess In a strong and vigorous const!
tutlon and a reasonably fair purified
blood stream. But let thla nervous ys
tern ot ours become debilitated by bad
habits, overworked emotions and the ac
cumulation of waste matter from an
excessive intake of Improper foods and
drinks and a deficient body drainage, or
out-put, that retains well known chemi
cal aubstanoes In the syatem to poison
cell life, cell structure and cell function,
and tha foundation has been laid for not
only tuberculosis, cancers, rheumatism,
appendicitis, bnt most other diseases.
Germs cannot develop in our bodies,

VOICE OF THE ENGLISH SPARROW
W. J. Lempton, In New York Sun.
It makes me rather weary
To hear, good people tell
Of do and cats and horse
That In the oltv dwell.
And how they have to suffer ,
For look of food and car,
With sometime cruel treatment
That they can scarcely bear.
Of coursa these earns good people
Hove tender hearts, and they
No doubt should bn assisted.
Upon their kindly way.
And yet whllo they are cftrlns
So verv tenderly
For dogs and cats and horses
Nobody cares for me.
And I am so much smaller
Than any dog or cat
Or horso It aeems they oughtn't
To treat ma quite Ilk that.
But 1 don't ask attention,
And I can tell you what.
Those dogs and cats and horses
Should havo the spunk I've cot.
You never heard me crying
-For ahelter, food or caro,
But I get out and hustle
To find thatn anywhere.
I'm always fat, and sassy.
And If I do not get
My share of thlnsa a plenty.
1 fight for it, you bet.
Thata me, th English sparrow,
And though aomo poop) think
I'm something of a nuisance
I'm never on the blink.
That's why when I consider . ,
That I nm not admired
Llko doga and cats and horses
It makes mo almost tired.
