OMAHA, March 8,-To the Editor of The
Beei With 'regard to the proposed Ineln-
erator bonds. It aeems to me that the issue
as put to the voters In its present form is
most Indefinite and uncertain, to say the
least Whenever a large business house
contemplates tho erection of say afactory.
It Is usually customary to draw up some
kind ot plana or at least a rough sketch
of the proposed erection, and then to de
cide whether the expenditure would bo
warranted and feasible.
A short time ago, while I was in JM-
rope, I noticed In The Bee I was re
ceiving from home, that Omaha waa ex
periencing some .difficulty with the dis
posal of garbage. Thinking the city gov
ernment might be Interested In how tther
cities had solved the question, I Octet-
mined to Investigate and see If the ex
perience of Europe oould not Im put t
use In Omaha. Through my noiltlon nf
American vice and deputy consul nt Bar
men, CA'tirany, and the courtesy of City
Building Inspector Fried, I waa person
ntly conducted through the Inclnerailnc
plant at Barmen and given a full tx-
ptaiiutlcn of the while garbage disposal

Barmen numbers 172,000 Inhabitants and
Its Incinerator Is considered the most sat
lafactory In all Germany. It was built
only after experts had Investigated ell the
systems In use on the continent and
England, and cost the city (130.000, with
out the land, the latter already belonging
to the municipality. The Barmen plant la
extremely economical, the garbage being
Its oVn and only fuel, and being forced
to burn by a powerful and unique blast
system. From the burned garbage and
refuse an excellent quality of building
sand is obtained, while tho heat resulting
from the process of cremation is nroduc
tlve of several million kilowatt hours of
electricity during the year, which Is sold
to the municipal electric light works at
about I cent per kilowatt hour. Complete
estimates as to the cost of the plant Its
maintenance, and the revenue gathered
from the sale of the sand and electricity
ere given me in utmost detail, and
wero In part embodied in a report I made
t6 the Omaha Board of Health on tho
subject
When I returned to Omaha. I Inaulred
ot one of the board members whether thla
report had been received and I waa ad-
Ised In the aftlmatlve, but also told that
the gentleman was "not Interested" In
the matter. It was more or less Im
material to me whether this was the case
or not, my only wonder being- that no ue

Fallaclci.
OMAHA, March 6. To the Editor of
The Beet Tho slayer of Nlckelt has es
caped the gallows, and I suppose tho
lawyer who defended htm made a pro
found impression upon the minds, of the
ury by introducing Into hts argument a
species of fallacy as ancient as the dia
logues of the Sophists. He' told them that
society is to blame for this bold and pre
meditated miirder, because society allows
houses ot prostitution to exist, and he
might have added that society Is to blame
for the existence of these houses because
It allows women to exist.
Tony gets llfo Imprisonment, but he
should have been discharged and set free,
ana my reasons are as follows: The
Golden rules say, "As ye would others
should do unto you, do yo even at) to
them." Now It every man sitting In
udement had followed this grand precept
Tony would havo been discharged, for If
each Juror had put himself In Tony's
place, not one of them but would have
been glad to have the Jury render a
vordlct of Justifiable homicide.
Tolstoy says that a man should not
rescue a child from the hands of a mur
derer, If doing so makes It necessary to
lay tho murderer; for, says he. "the
murderer might repent of his crime and
become a good man, whllo the murdered
child would escape alt the Ills and sor
rows of life and be at rest," or words to
that effect.
A lawyer's noodle is always well filled
with these curious mental tricks, and be
tween sound logio and sheer sophistry, it
takes a wise head to decide.

Neven Fares tor n quarter.
OMAHA. March S. To the Editor of Tnj
Bee: Seven fares for a quarter sound!
good, but I am afraid few people liave
given it a thought. Every qestlon has
two sides and this is no exception. Who
would be the gainer and who would be
the loser? y
The working man would bo the loser.
For the last few years th6 Street car
company has spent over 1500,000 in 1m
provements. That means a lot of 'won;
to bo done and that Is what we need. Wo
don't mind Devlna 5 centa -to ride several
miles to our work, but seven fares for
SG cents doesn t help much when we havo
no work. We are not overcharged when
we can ride fifteen miles for 5 cents,
and aa long aa the money s spent for
new cars and extensions we cannot kick
There Is no law stopping the companv
from raising the fare from the city tn
the suburbs. In caae the company does
raise the fare to the suburbs, the work
ing man who buys a lot outside ot the
city, because he can get It cheaper, will
be the heavy loser. Every working mau
should think It over and not vote for a
thing that would hurt himself, as well
as his fellow met) that live outside ot
the city limits, that cannot vote on this
It those who are pushing this bill so
hard would only get after things mora
Important and have them remedied
would be a blessing to the city. There
are several thlnga that need cleaning, but
I fait to see them doing any of It
