Anyway, Dewey did It. So liagglo over inconsequential? why What is tho difference between a man's duty and his plain duty? Now, you seo, how useloss It was to worry too soon about tho lco harvest. Is Villa just trying to sea how weak and small he can make' Undo gam appear? Ot course, aviation is perilous; otherwlso It would not bo attractive to most aviators. Lot us havo no dispute over tho honors at Manila. As at Santiago, there were honors enough for all. Up to tho hour of going to press our Congressman Charles Otto Lo heck has not yet hoisted tho white flag. That deep, sonorous silence you hear in Mexico is rcrsopai uepresen tatlve Ltad keeping out of the mix-up. Whether our government recog litres the belllgorency of the Mexican rebels or not, no one can truthfully deny that they are belligerent, Bath House John polled some women's votes in his raco for renom Inatlon, yet the women were the ones who wero going to put him out of his bath house. Our Mexican friends must be "watchfully waiting" for us to follow up tho lifting of tho embargo with an offer to furnish them with arms and ammunition free. But it it Is equal suffrage how can they tell over in Chicago which o the votes received by any particular candidate wore cast by men and rvvhlch by women? If these Holy, Rollers trying to heat the evil spirits out of each other managed to drill a Uttlo reason into themselves there might be some method in their madness. Another Omaha man Is entitled to a Carnegie hero medal. It is ver aciously reported that Police Judge Foster publicly admonished a woman that sho talked too much. Let It be remembered that the self respecting reputable lawyers, who constitute Uio great majority, havo no sympathy for the crooks who live off ot blackmail and perjured frame ups. Senator Norrls Is charged by New KngUutd colleagues with loose talk In bis accusations against the New Haven. It suroly cannot be any looser than dome of tho financing of that road. Omaha a big retail stores have moved up tho time for morning open' ing a half hour. There will be no excuse now for not having the break fast dishes finished before joining In the bargain counter rush. Nebraska millers win out In the bleached flour case. This lends color to the Impression that that great "reform" was more la tho interest of the Minnesota flour-makers than to pvo the consumer from inferiority or adulteration. It Is now proposed to draft aB a candidate for railway commissioner on the democratic ticket a man who tays that If elected his first movo would be to abolish the Job. It would be a pity, howevor, to put anyone between the temptation ot the salarykon one side and the re demption of that promise on the other. The Bleached Flour Case. Tho supremo court's dictum In the bleached flour case, holding that the government may not condemn food unless It enn show that It contains enough poisonous Ingredients to In Juro health, seems to be an extension of the rulo of reason originally laid down with roference to trust litiga tion. In announcing tho decision remanding tho case to tho lower court Justice Day notes that tho gov ernment nlloged only that 1.8 parts to 1,000,000 of a poisonous character was added to the flour by tho bleach ing process. It surely would bo dif ficult to show that such nn infini tesimal ndultoratlon were deleterious. Moreover, if upon the result of this nnalysls tho court had held differ ently it, would havo tended to raiso an Intermlnablo question as to what constituted pure food, paving tho way to endless turmoil and litigation. Obviously, It might have been next to impossible, upon such a relative bnsls, to show that thero waB such a thing nB pure, unadulterated food. Very naturally tho effect of tho de cision will be far-reaching, encom passing in its scope, for one thing, tho dried deciduous fruit of Call fornia, which undergoes a bleaching process for cleansing purposes ns wen ns appearances, wo of Ne braska and other states Interested In seeing what wo conceive to be tho reasonable sldo of this question sua talned find occasion for congratula tlon in tho outcome and all who wcl- como a rational application of such laws will bo gratified at the reaf firmation of the rule of reason. Senator Lewis Serioui. Sonator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, chafing under tho goad of puns nnd Jokes cracked at his ox penso, largely because of his lurturl- ant and brilliant beard and eccentric manners, recently demanded to know why ho could not ho' taken seriously. It occurred to uH at the time that tho answer lay pntlroly with tho senator, hlmBelf. Tho public could and would tako him seriously just as it would any other man who appealed to its sorious side. Senator Lewis has made an ad' dress before the Kansas City Bar ub soclatlon well calculated to arouso aorious and approving comment. In the nddress ho said: Tho simplification of court procedure and the creation of a general publlo con itacnoo in tne judiciary must coma largely through tho American lawyer. if tuo senator keeps uri that strain of publlo uttoranco ho will havo no difficulty, wo imagine, In getting himself taken seriously. Ho is only another of tho many lawyora In pub llo life who, led by former President Taft, havo come out boldly on this proposition. Their candor must mako luyery utfcomfortablo.for tho llttlo shysters, who yelp overy time a lay crltio raises his protest against crooked lawyors. Just by Way of Information. Just by way of information for folks who like to look ahead, wo tako it that the following from tho official Anti-Saloon league yoar book for tho year 1914, just at hand, Is of too much Interest to remain burled in that llttlo compendium. Answering tho roll call of tho different states. Nabruska makes this report: Tho Inltlatlvo is now being used to se cure a vote on tome restrictive measures that will be ol great value if secured. Nebraska voted by 15,000 majority for county option, but fulled to securo Its enactment in tho legislature. This leads tho tomnerance forces to behove that they will bo able to get the laws now needed through tho Initiative. Tho women ot tho state are now asking for caual suffrage, and this will lm mh. irilttcil at tho same election as the pro posed restrictive measure In 19U. The Indications, are that they will secure tho franchise and that this will enable the temperance forces to secure statc-wldo prohlblUon, which will probably be voted on In 1918. Put it down that Nebraska Is suroly on the map, and that thero will be something doing here right along for the next several years. Chicago Women at the Polls. Is tho first experience with yotos for women In Chicago satisfactory or disappointing? It was proclaimed that 150,000 women registered to participate in the forthcoming city primaries, impatient for tho chance Of falling upon the necks of such mu nicipal utatesmen as Bath Houso John and his colleagues with crush ing force. The couut of the ballots shows 50,000 women at the polls, just one third of tho newly registered voters. True It often happens thatTno rooro than a third of the men vote. It sometimes even happens that only ono-flfth ot them vote, but there is this difference, that the women are getting the ballot to supply the men's failure. In this particular instance thoy had the excitement and enthu siasm of new won victories to Inspire them and ought to have made their very best showing if only to set an example for those horrid men. Congressman Lobeck simply ssya that If Mayor Jim runs against him he will have the pleasing consolation of knowing that In Dahlman he Is op 1 posed by a good man. And that Is about as near as you ever catch Charles Otto off his guard. "Why doesn't Carransa, as the rebel leader, Interfere with Villa's rampage?" asks an exchange. Evon granting the improbable that he dis approves it, the answer rolg'ht be that Carranza has his hands full with his own troubles. r t f -n -i lopKiiumacKwari iTkDsy" 'n Omaha roMnus ram ass nm T FEBItUAJir 20. Thirty Years Ago- No less than 400 maskers are saw to have thronged Turnverein hall for, tho big masquerade. The lilt of the evening was the comical xwert theatricals, sort of a Punch and Judy show, with headless figures against a painted background. with openings for inserting lire human faces.

Committeemen Babcock anl Knox of tho Commercial club returned from tho south, where they had been beseeching railroads for rates mora favornblo t Omaha through southern outlets. Tho Omaha Commercial club received a letter front Count Lublenskl, tho Polish count, saying that unless the sugar bounty was repealed in Nebraska he would return In tho spring and proceed with plans for tho construction of the big beet sugar factory in Omaha. One of th ft big events announced at the Boyd for early consumption was a com Ing engagement by Miss Julia Marlowe, one ot tho most popular beauties before tho footlights. City Attorney Connell gave a formal opinion to tho effect that tho city had tho legal right of voting bonds for par ticipation in the building of a new union depot. Ten Years Ako Perry .. Heath, editor of the Halt I.ake City Tribune and former Washington correspondent for The Bee. passed through tho city going west, having been in the east on business. Learning from the comptroller that there would bo a deficit for the year of about ti'.WX) In the lighting fund, Mayor Moores callcl a halt on Installing street lights, declaring that no more must bo put In during the current year. The, park board ordered two new pavll lions built at Rlvervlew park costing about 13,000. Tho contractors announced the west wing of the big federal building finished, which compleated the last touch ot that structure. Supervising Architect Mur Uock made his last Inspection and was ready to filo his report with the Treasury department. He pronounced the build Ing one of the best of Its kind In tho country. The olty council passed tho largest ap propriation bill ever authorised by that body. The bill totalled J225.00Q. Including VKWO for water hydrants and U3.00O for unpaid bills Incurred n 1903. George F.

People and Events William and Samuel lluncy of Babylon fj. I who recently celebrated the! ninety-first birthday anniversary, havo tho distinction ot being tho oldest living twins. Tlioy attribute their good health to the fact that they have lived an out' door life as far as they possibly could. An unusual natural phenomenon was witnessed recently In Berwick, Me., by H R. Hchulmaler, In the form of a hugi halo about the moon, extending from the horlxon to the zenith. It appeared about 4;J0 a, m.. when the temperature ws about 30 below zero, and resembled huge hoop rolling along the horizon. Scientists of Denver, Colo., are making a study of doss Aragon, SH years old, regarded as an Infant prodigy. The child, the son of an Itullao washerwoman and a Spanish laborer, not only knows his alphabet, but speaks English, Italian and Spanish. He sings well, writes, dances and Is a capable performer on four stringed Instruments. The strangest New Year's wedding In Texas took place In Fort Worth, Tox., when Oscar ICreuse, 7 feet 1 Inch tall, married Mis. Martha Duncan, 4 feet It Inches tall. The midget bride Just reaches her giant husband's vest pocket. But for alt that It was a case ot love at first sight; both say so. Kreuse comes from Ottawa, Kan., and Mrs. Kreuse has lived in Fort Worth many years. Theodore I.ow De Vlnne, a master printer of distinction, Is dead at Ms home In New York, aged ti. Mr. De Vlnne was the dean of ptlnttng crafts men In the United States, . tireless worker tor the advancement of tho "art preservative," and an exponent of tho highest quality of workmanship. No one In his time surpassed him In advancing tine printing and allied arts to the high ievl tnay navo ar,uunea. Jimmy How's hobo pagtant in St. Louis was a crackerjack. When the procession reached Its destination at the city hall and several speeches turned loose on the unoffending air, the assemblage with a whoop passed a resolution demanding a tttO.OOt) municipal lodging house "with ac commodations In consonance with the spirit or the times." St. Ixmls probably will get busy on the proposition Just as soon as the town connocts the munlclDil 'bridge wtb dry load. A Bandit's Crime Cincinnati Enquirer. The killing William Benton, the hlgh-splrlted am ml ! bravo Scotchman, who dared to faco and upbraid tho chief of the bandits, Fran cisco Villa, for tho robberies and dspre datlons on his ranch, but confirms the publlo opinion of Villa as a merciless and arrogant desperado, an outlaw for years and still an outlaw In all the word Implies. Chicago Record-Herald: Meanwhile It has become' clear that the Wilson admin istration had excellent reasons for not recognizing Huerta. Ho has made no military1 demonstration of nr.y lmpor tance, has not given the slightest sign that he Was able to restore the country to normal conditions. It Is because of his wretched failure that Villa, the ban-; ilit, continues to profit by anarchy. Washington Post; Villa Evidently is drunk with power. His threats against the Spaniards not long ago caused great concern in the United States, but it) withdrew them later on. Now, however, ho Indicates by tho execution of Bcnt:i that he has no regard for the good will of foreign nations, and that oven his supposed friendly attltudo toward the United, States is without foundation. New York Post: Such things have been of frequent occurrence In South American Insurrections, and by itself thero is nothing In the event to get ex cited about. Of course, tho Americans on tho border at El Paso had to hurst out with indignant resolutions, which thoy seem to have had on tap. But they have all tho timo boon for armed inter vention, and their seizing upon the kill ing of an Englishman lb plainly strategic. their sudden sympathy for outraged. Great Britain being a trifle auspicious. Brooklyn Eagle: Sooner or later, wo suppose. Uio United Stoles will havo to Intervene, vastly to tho regret of all thinking Americans, but in tho interest of common humanity and ot the Mexicans themselves, The mad vio lence of Villa may or may not force the hand of tho Washington administra tion. Most of us hope that Great Brit ain will prefer the courso of temperate statesmanship. If sho adheres to that role, tho misfortune of American tntcr venllon may still bo long delayed; pos sibly It may be altogether averted. Twice Told Tales UnrriitiTrnblc I'ntent. A lawyer who makes a specialty ot pat ent cases was once engaged lit a case before a country justice. 'Who aro you, onyway?" demanded tho Justice. "Well," replied the lawyer, "I'm an at torney," "P'raps ypu are. but I never heard ono talk like you do. What kind of a one are you?" "I'm a patent attorney." The magistrate rubbed his ohltt In thought. "Well, all I've got to say Is," lie said slowly, "that when tho patent expires, I don't bellevo you can ever get It renewed again." National Monthly. In n Bad Way. They wero talking automobile reminis cences and Congressman Jacob Johnson ot Utah recalled tho experience ot Sraltlt along a country road. Tho inexplicable thing had happened some ten miles from a garago, and Smith was mauling over the machine with a monkoy wrench when a farmer came along. For a while Hlratn stood In silence watching tho efforts ot the autolst, and then human nature ussertod Itself aud ho broke Into conversation. "Homo car ye'vo got there, parJ,-' he remarked, admiringly. "What power 1 It?" "Forty horse power," answered Smith,' continuing to plug away with the monkey wrench. "Forty hoas, eh?" returned Hiram, still working his eyes. "What seems ter be the troublo with It?" "Well, as near ns I can figure It out," answered Smith, with u sort ot cross be tween, a sigh and a cuss, "about 39 ot the horses are dead." Philadelphia Tele graph, State Press Comment Kearney Democrat: Very true, Cor delia, matrimony at one time was recog nized at a great gamo of .chance, but not now. On account of women's dress a man can see very plainly Just what he Is get ting. Columbus Telegram: Sttonger men than Secretary Melor have been thrown on the (.crap-heap by an aroused public sen timent against free railroad passes. That's where the secretary of the Ne braska stato fair will go, If tho country editors of the state have any red blood In their veins. Beaver City TlmevTribuue: Back In Ohio the assessors must pass an examlna- I tlon before they may assess the property ot their various districts. Some such pro vision is needed in Nebraska, and one test should be for eye-sight. At present thero Is so much property that the assessors cannot see. Syracuse Journal: The farmers or Ne braska have been "rocked lu the cradle of a protective tariff and fed on the milk of a protective prosperity" until they have all got rich In order to re tain that wealth they will next fall Vote for a return of the. protective principles which will protect their Industry against foreign free trade Importation. Watch I- pd see. Alma Record: An Omaha and a Lin coln paper are criticising the admission ot the members of the legislature to the state fair grounds on guest tickets. However, these critics give fine examples ot silence about tho Issuing of free passes to members of the legislature, state of ficials and ex-athletes by the state uni versity authorities. These are for ad mission to the foot ball games where the general admission is as hlsh as JJ.M per head. In addition the regents and chan cellor usually sit In boxes. Nebraska City Press: Anonymous political dope is being sent out to the state newspapers. One Item calling at tention to the candidacy ot a state of ficial for the governorship has been sent to this office. Of course, It will not be published. If the writer Is not courageous enough to give his name his offspring will go to the waste-basket. Political candidates who think Nebraska news paper men are to be gulled by the same old artful dodged ot the CO-year-old pe riod are bound to be sadly fooled this year.

U M.-A Shop Olrl. lllttrrni')-. OMAHA. Feb. 35. To the Editor ot Tho Bee: The English apeakin? people, con sidering their knowledge and abilities, are probably no farther advanced morally than the rest of the world, and our coun try, especially, has long been a paradise for political plunderers. A foreigner com ing to this country may be very Illiterate, or even Ignorant, yet ho soon Itarns how much he must pay for his Job, nnd what price his veto will bring in t!ie political auction room. If he bo uuable to read and write, he is not too dumb to learn that If he bo charged with a crime he may fall Into tho hands ot an educated mob nnd bo executed infomtully. Tho Greeks of Omaha aro probably not as well posted on political economy as Adam Smith was, yet they can see plainly that tho shoe-shining business is about to pass Into the hands of our young American girls, who are too proud to wash dishes. Educated people are paying Mr. nnd Mrs. Castle tZ an hour for teaching tho tango, and they are paying Rev. Jones 120 a montlt for preaching the gospel; yet they bawl at tho ignorance of tho for eigner, The test of Illiteracy is no fair test, for a person may bo illiterate with out being Ignorant, and thousands of good peoplo hero and everywhere among the poorer classes cannot read or write. A man, whether rude or refined, may be honest, sober and industrious, and whether he is so or not, depends more upon what is in his heart than upon the amount of education contained in his head. The wisdom of Lord Bacon did not pre vent his corruption, and with all his learn ing, Sir Walter Raleigh was executed as a traitor; Oulteau, although a lawyer and politician, became an assassin, and as a rule, tyrants, slave-dealers, unjust Judges, corrupt politicians, prostitutes, libertines and sodomlsts, aro persons who can read and write, and who dress well, dlno regu larly, move In fairly decent society and go to tho devil at last. Knowlrdgo Is powor, and power may be a bad thing as woll as a good thing; edu cated men havo fought duels and civilized nations havo butchered each other's in habitants. Illiteracy is no more a crime than pov- crty, and neither should be mado a test of citizenship. K. O. McINTOSH. SrvIUkc and 'FiJ ntlngr Bertha." MACEDONIA, la., Feb. 25. To the Editor of Tito Beo: A great deal has been said both pro and con in regard to the subjects of this letter. Such a variety of praise as well as censure has been placed before the public that one's curi osity Is naturally aroused to know the facts, and see a man -who claims in this tho twcrRleth century to be "able to cast out devilB," as some were wont to do 'lit tho long ago, as recorded in sacred story. It was Sunday, February 22, when the writer found himself n Omaha with moro tlmo than money and tho "go to church" spirit predominating, that he wended his way to the People's church on Eighteenth street. In the big city. The reverend gentleman was In his place, "Bertha" waa there and about four and twenty others, mostly dovout followers of Mr Savldgc, all earnest workers in the moral heritage as practiced by this denomination. The text was taken from Luke xx-18 and reads: "Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whom soever It shall fall, it will grind him to powder." In his opening statements he admitted being converted at the age of '7, com mencing to preach In early life for the Methodists, continuing in this till early in tho '90s, when he got a revelation and established the presept church. Referring to his text, it had Just re cently dawned on his mind to use it-a new light, as It were, after long years of preaching. In the sermon he referred to the public talking about him, calling him a "proud peacock of a pastor," and referred to the position ot "tall feathers," In Ills zeal he almost became hysterical. Tito woman from whom the devils had been driven gave way to a nervous condi tion In ahouts. Intermingled with groan ing. The gospel chariot was rolling at its highest speed, with rastor npd his congregation in its enjoyment to the full est extent. The psychological moment was on. A religious fervor was r.cver bratlng from heart, to heart, and their sph-Jtuul Joys seemed complete, and who of us would want to tear down the fences being, built. There Is said to be method In madness, nnd tho reverend gentleman exhibits somo in the building of a homo for aged and Infirm. In this ho should bo commended. He could not undertako a work of any kind and meet general ap proval. To the mind of the writer thn pathway of human life Is broad enough tor tne other reilows' cart nnd there are enough flowers by Its wayside for all. TEE J. AITCH. Boston Transcript: Some democrats ate so true to the cberlshei traditions of their order that they can forgive Wood row Wilson everything except his failure to disrupt the party. Boston Transcript: The discovery that the physical valuation of the railroad will cost 17,(00.000 at last throw soran light on the real reason why the demo cratic politicians want it maae. i Philadelphia Ledger: The employment ot an American to manage a great Eng lish railway shows that the directors ot the road must have studied results In this country rather than the speeches ot politicians.
