T" extension of the Jurisdiction

dtillvory system to Benson, though l.i
Itself a small thing, bears large sig
nificance In pointing tho direction of
Omaha's growth. Tho expansion of
business and the rebuilding in tho
heart of tho city has forced a moss
urcablo outspreading of residence to
tho suburbs, with the consequence
that the areas on tho outskirts aru
fast filling up, not as Independent
i communities, but as part and parcel
of tho Greater Omaha, showing no
visible lines of demarcation. As n

The Genus Felis.
Should It be contended that Tarn-
nirfny's, tiger woro slain in tho on
blaught, tho permanency of its death
would still bo open to question. It
It wore a cat Instead of a tiger cat,
there would be no disputo about Its
ability to conio back at least nine
times, but being tiger instead of cat
docs not entirely settle It, since both
belong to tho gonus fells. If It could
bo shown that this was tho tenth
time tho tiger had been killed, then
that might help, but at all events It
would not bo surprising to find tho
samo old follno beast perched on tho
fence at tho next election. Already,
thus early In tho wake of tho disss
tor, suspicious sounds like tho pur
ring and meowing of a weather
boatcn puss may bo hoard. Some
thing, whether tho follno nature or
not, scorns to havo endowed this old
tiger with a good deal of self-porpetu
atlng power. It will pay, therotoro,
to havo n brick handy, If tho tiger Is
to bo maintained as a "dead one."
Free Lcgul Service.
What good argument can bo of
ferod against a city providing freo
legal service for thoso who nood it?
Tho schcino has ovldontly worked
well in Kansas City, whore it has had
time to provo itself. Tho basic
proposition Is to furnish competent
legal advice and service to folks too
poor to. pay for it at provalllng prices.
That need existed in Kansas Cty and
is being met thtvrei It exists in
Omaha, and should bo met. The
ploa that the city's legal department
Is already tOoftbusy with the mu
nicipality's own law business to take
on extra dutlos Is no plea at all. It
Is a purely local Incident which can
readily bo cared for. The frco legal
bureau Is a stop toward tho swift and
freo Justice which tho whole country
is clamoring for.
Better Care for the Immigrant.
The establishment of an immigra
tion office in Chicago is a atop in the
right direction, taken in response not
only to tho requirements of the immi
grant, but to tho demands also of
thoso who have at heart the welfare
of tho foreign-born strangers coming
to our shores, Chicago, being tho
metropolis of tho west, .the mecca for
great pilgrimages of immigrants, is
a proper place for such a headquar
ters, but In time the government
should establish othor similar head
quarters in tho west at distribution
points Uko Omaha, close to tho loca
tions which the newcomers are to
holp develop this plan. It tends to
relievo the congestion in the largo
eastern citlos, drawing away the
streams of immigration from the
stopping point that neither greatly
need them nor offer them as good
opportunities.
Make Them Slow Down.
The distressing accident due to
"furious" speeding of a heavy, high
geared machine on tho West Dodge
street road is but a melancholy ful
fillment of a prodlotlon often made,
Tho Bee has repeatedly tried to
arouso reckless automobllo drivers to
the peril of dare-devil speeding on
this highly improved suburban road
way by warnings of the inevitable.
According to tho reports of this fatal
collision, It was entirely due to tho
disregard of the speed limits. And
It Is not strange that it happened,
but rather that there are not more
such catastrophies. Tho road is
bmooth and "fast." inviting to tho
autolst with a reckless passion for
speed, but it that fs to bo the chief
effoet of good country roads, then
tbo incentive for building them U
weakened. Let officials discharge
their duties Impartially and with
vigor a time or two and the problem
will soon solve itself.
The police motorcycles are paid
for by the School board on the. theory
that they aro a good investment for
the school fund, to which tho fines
paid by auto speeders go. On that
theory the School board could well
hire a special detective squad to pick
up a fine here and there from law
breakers overlooked by the regular
police. The police need the motor
cycles, but it is far-fetched to say
they re bought for school purposes

ftermsnv In ilrenlv stirred by the sta
tistics of steadily decreasing birthrate.
Newspapers', magailns, essayists and soci
ologists are discussing causes and means
of prevention. From 1907 to Mil. in
clusive, statistics compiled by the States-
man's Tear Book show that the surplus
of births over deaths decreased from
8M.I2I to 740.431. Yet tho marriages In
1911 wero greater by 8,865 than In 1907.
This means that Germany's birthrate is
rapidly foiling below'1 that of France, and
makes the prospect for increased enroll
ment of future soldiers decidedly gloomy.
The causes of the decline as viewed by
sociologists are selfishness, love of com
fort, luxury. Industrial conditions poor
hountng with high rents nnd low wages,
and High prices generally. Tho cost of
rearing a child In Germany, from birth
until it becomes a wage-earner, is fig
ured at $480. This la a minimum figure.
As to a remedy to the growing national
menace, none has been suggested to
2ghten the pervading gloom.

GNmbllnir Simula.
A gambling mania which Is sweeping
pver Poland appears to be equally well
rooted In Hungary and has developed a
political scandal of considerable mag
nitude in Budapest. Local Journals pub
lish details of a gambling concession
granted by the former prime minister,
Dr. von Lultacs, for an establishment on
Magareten island. In the Danube, oppo
site the royal palace, and on state- prop
erty. The Allgemelnen Verkehbank,
which obtained tho concession, In a pub
lished statement declares that it placed
considerable sums of money at the dis
posal of the government of Dr. Lukics
and certain deputies of tho national labor
party in return for tho concession. These
sums amount to about 4.000,000 kronen
(JSOO.000). As tho present prime minister,
Count Tisza, has annulled tho concession
granted by hts predecessors, tha Vcr
kehrsbank intends to bring an action
against the Hungarian government for
the recovery of the money. Five depu
ties of tho national labor party have,
the papers say, received 1,600,000 kronen
for their services In getting Dr. Lukacs'
ministry to grant. tho concession. The
affair is called a ''new Hungarian Pan
ama," and the opposition In the Hun
garian Parliament is expected to make
great use of it.
Franc and the VntU-an.
M. Barthou, prime minister of France,
disposes of rumors of Impending re-ei-tabllshment
of diplomatic relations be
tween the Vatican and the republic. The
rumors, It appear, have originated
among antagonists of the ministry, but
were of sufficient Importance to call out
a publlo denial. In a recent address at
Alx-les-Balns the prime minister said:
"From the point of view of religion,
the disestablishment law of 1905 is the
charter which Irrevocably governs tho
relations of church and state. It has
been said that pourparlers have been
carried on between the French gov
ernment and the Vatican to renew the
diplomatic relations which that law
abolished. 1 give you my word, as a
gentleman and aa a republican minister,
tliat no negotiations of any kind have
at any moment or In any manner been
undertaken for renewing relations be

OMAHA. Nov. 7.-To the Editor of Tho
Bee: Noting the slnrere Interest of The
Bee In tho case of the garbage removal
Problem, I being the designer of the in
completed plant of the Omaha Rendering
and Feed company, and knowing the
profits that can be made from this ma
terial, will furnish to the city complete
plans, details and estimates gratis, on
these conditions: That the city build tho
plant, hire a manager and establish a
civil service mode of conducting the
plant; that it sell the hogs to Omaha
butcher pro rata at 15 per cent below
wholesale price on their ngrcemcnt to
sell to Omaha people at wholesale price,
but the meat must be sold as garbage
fed; that the by-product of tho plant thnt
can't be used by the city 'be sold In the
market.
After the city's plant has paid out It
will reduce the price another 15 per cent
on hogs, so the people can have another
reduction on meat.
The plan I would suggest Is to buy
forty acres on some railroad, where a
gravity plant could be built. If the rail
road will agree on shipping charges and
promptness, establish, say three stations
nn the Q., all gravity loading, and four or
five on th'o Belt Line. This would allow
' the city teams a short haul, as the M. P.
will deliver cars as far away as Seymour
lake at J5 per oar. These cars cou'd be
made to dump. I think the railroad
would furnish ore cars, known, as battle
ships, so that In conjunction with gravity
loading and unloading the minimum hand
labor would be realized, and large profits
would be assured Instead of a heavy out
lay as, at present. B. O. BALDWIN.

Aanlnat Auditorium Purchase.
OMAHA, Nov. 7. To the Editor of The
Bee: A party calling himself Mr, Grum
bler upholds. In an article in The Bee.
the present owners of the Auditorium in
their deal to unload the Auditorium onto
the city for less than lhe have been of
fered by private Individuals. If this Is
true, It will be tho first time that men
of their caliber have been known to give
anything away, unless It was to their
financial benefit. They took on the role
of philanthropists when they built tho
Auditorium and are trying the same gamo
again. Beware. Mr. Votorl If I remem
ber right I think that at the time tho
Auditorium was built the slogan was.
"Built by tho people for the people, etc."
So far the people have always had to
pay well for any good they have gotten
out of It.
At the time it was built So-and.So came
to the front with "I will start It out
with JS.COo or J3.000 etc." Everyone think
ing that said party was donating said
moneys, but it develops that all got stock
for their money, while tho smaller mer
chant, etc., If he got stock at all, sup
posed that it waa a donation anyway, and
did not take care of it If he did not
get stock he got an Auditorium brick
(gold brick, I mean). I should Judge that
the stock held by these people now
amounts to Just about double original
cost on account of said brick holders,
etc., getting nothing for their money.
Under these conditions, it they aro cor
rect, I don't think that said stockhold
ers will be out much money at J22S,000.
Whenever anyone in Omaha wants to
gtvo anything away or sell below actual
cost, look out
Another party conies to the front and
says that the city had ought to be forced
to buy the Auditorium.
We all admit that the location Is prime,
but thcro are others likely Just as good.
Does the party suppose that this com
munity Is made up entirely of Ignoram
ouses that do not know what they want.
I would Just refer him to the gas elec
tion. Let the people voto on this propo
sition. They pay for this and if it Is a
good buy they will take it up, but It
sounds too much like Russian to talk
about forcing the people. VMS is a freo
country remember. G. P. WIIG,

OMAHA, Nov. 7. To the Editor of Tho
Beo: May 1 be permitted reference to a
rnwa Item In Your Issue of NoVember
6, concerning the proposed extension ot
the Young Woman s cnristian associa
tion at ill South Eleventh street.
It Is strange that It remained for Mrs.
Mixer to discover and ventilate these con
ditions existing In the "factory and com
mission districts" that Is the prac
tlce Indulged In by young women of
rmnupntlnsr the rear deors ot saloons to
agument their noon repast with soup and
coffee.
u.r mntlvn In nlcturlnz such a state ot
affairs Is a little obtouro In face of the
fact that tfce factories In that district
have their own tea rooms, and the fur
ther fact that the number of female
mmmliilnn emDloves who make these
rear door visits Is too small for ordi
nary perception. 1 know whereor 1 speak
as I am employed In that district and
have ample opportunity to observe; and
before contradicting the good woman's
statement I purposely quizzed several of
my felloi-employes. My investigations
bear out my contention that an unalloyed
and unwarrantable Indignity has been
heaped upon the young women in ques
tion. If charity and moral uplift be the
motive for installing a branch of a Chris
tlon work In that particular section of
the city, its object is sorely defeated In
denying admission to the young men who
voluntarily asked It. There are enough of
these men to warrant making an effort
to prevent this rear door menace, but at
any rate Mrs. Mixer's solicitude should
not get away with her regard for th
truth, and the truth has been f.adly Jug

JUST BEFORE DAWN.
? K. Klser. in Uie Record-iiernld.
They say It s alwajs darkest Just boforn
the break of dawn.
They tell t when ae toiler lo keep
bravely hopelng on;
They toll bfl there Is calmnese In toe wlw
tornado's wake.
But Its sometimes mlghtv painful wall
ing for the dawn to break.
They sav that things arc never quite aJ
bad as they could be.
Pome shore Is always ieucoful when it's
" stormiest at" sea;
Good fortune rmty be waiting when w
think the end Is near,
To bestow her favors on us and to fill
our hearts with cheer.
Thoy toll hi there Is never any lane that
lacks a turn,
Thoy tell us to hope always while the
lamp holds out to burn:
Tho weak and foolish only fall to strive
for honor's sake.
But It's somotlmcs mighty painful wait
ing for the dawn to break. '
They blame the ones who weaken when
t Uir . J D wen ....v....
i They tell us Joy Is sweetest after suffer
ing ana urenu;
Th darkest cloud, thoy tell us, has a
sliver lining still.
And, though fate be stern and stubborn,
we may conquer It wo will.
They give us pleasing phrases and ex
pect us to believe
That good fortune hovers near us when
wc grope In gloom nnd grieve:
They give ndvlcc, but, bless them, what
a difference 'twould make
If they'd help us just a little whllo no
wait for dawn to break.
