What is tho difference between a

Now, you seo, how useloss It was
to worry too soon about tho lco

Is Villa just trying to sea how
weak and small he can make' Undo

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

Our Mexican friends must be
"watchfully waiting" for us to follow

But it it Is equal suffrage how can

If these Holy, Rollers trying to

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

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

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.

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

In his time surpassed him In advancing

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

will get busy on the proposition Just as

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Upon n shoreless ocean, where we ride,
laired by the murmurs of a vast Forever
That seem to reach us from a fathers

The riddle of the Future's always hidden:
But stretched behind us lies the grow-
And '"Memory to our feast, tonight is
Wiu'dnlin'lier wealth of pictures while
they lastl
Thero ate some moments fuller for their
coming . . .. ..
-Than all the common passing days ana
And n'ono'so full as those when wo ore

Our deorcai recollections' rare delights.
So let us pauso a little ere wo wander
Along the trackless waste of things
And 'turning from tho great unknown
out yonder, . ,
Attune our souls to Sletnory's harmony.
For sitting ever at our feasts of reason,
And lingering ever with our flow ot
soul.
Our evening's guest will grace each pass-
And each, with reverent pause, will
rend her scroll.
