Sanitary experts say this Is clso'f' tho time to swnt tho fly. right, show us the fly. pro All Tho (own of Fluahlng, N. Y has had a big go-to-church day. Just tho Uilng for Flushing. If General Kelley holds his troops together long enough they may yet find plonty to do down on tho Toxas border. Surely wo will not permit MIbb Sjirlng to como and catch old Father Winter's dobrls scattered ovor tho streets. A president who can cut down his own "load" story to 420 words will novor want for work so long as good coiv-rcadcrs aro ncoded. How many dub homes and hotels aro there from which guests havo as little chanco for escape as the St. Louis building in which thirty lived were lost? Mr, Taft was, of course, joking when, ho said that if Judges woro wigs they would bo more respected. No wig, no mask, just plain justice swift and nitre, is what Is wanted. With moro than 9,000 voters par ticipating in tho special city election boing moro than half of those enti tled to ballots, it Is a light vote only by comparison with tho vote at reg ular elections. One of the lawyers Indicted for blackmail declares that If ho Is sub Jcct to prosecution for what ho has done, Bo has every other lawyor who over made demands for a client. Wo refuse to bcllovo It. Lincoln club women aro engaged in a real insurrection for control of their Woman's club. Presumably, just practicing up for the rough-and- tumblo of politics after votes-for women are nailed down. Never a conspicuous crook exposed ky The Dee but tho World-Herald rushes to their defense with apolo gles or excuses. It was so with Uolln, it was ao with Dartley, and with all tho littler ones coming after. It Is time to close tho argument. These' greedy, grasping men havo tackled every lucrative woman's Job except that of wet nurse, and votes- for-women .are absolutely needed now to protect them In that preroga tive. Kronj his bout with Lawyer Unter myer, who has been hunting the Wall street high-binders Into their holes, our United States senator flora Nebraska seems to bo becoming tho regular mouthpiece for tho Money trust magnates. Competition la keen among Ne braska towns to furnish tho site for the new state reformatory. To a man up a tree, however, it would seem that the advantage of near neighborhood to such an Institution Is largely overestimated. A committee of Chicago women Is complaining of the undignified posi tions of the aldermen at their desks In thp council chamber. Oh my! Let these sensitive creatures come over here and take a look at the nes- blons of our city councllmen atid coun'fy commissioners. Special Election Results. Tho results of Omaha's special election aro about what was gener ally oxpected by those in touch with tho pulso of local public sontlmont. What discussion was had upon tho four propositions submitted did not, ns already noted, go to tho merits, but turned almost wholly upon ap peals to prejudice and the airing of personal grlovnnces" and "private grudges." This Is particularly true of tho homo rule charter and tho Auditor ium purchase both of which have Biif force! from gross misrepresenta tion. An unsuccessful effort wa9 made to stem t,he tldo against tho Auditorium bonds by nailing the lies put In circulation, but the friends of tho charter, having no stake. In volved, merely consigned it to its fate, and it went down undor clev erly turned catch words about "star chamber" and "honest elections." Tho Incinerator bonds fell of their own weight, bocauso public opinion in Omaha does not yet realizo tho se riousness of tho problem of garbago disposal In front of It, and Is not crystalllzcd'as to its best solution. Tho carrying of tho sovon-for-a-fiuarter ordinance was foreordained because tho petitions by which It was initiated had more than enough sign ers on them to vote it through easily. Kven accepting tho prospect of furtiior contest in tho courU, many who doubt whother that rate can bo maintained still seo no other method of ascertaining what, if any, faro ro ductlon wo may bo entitled to from tho street railway company. Tho noteworthy thing is that, whllo tho vote on each proposition 1b decisive, as a matter of fact, It settles nothing definitely for tho futuro pol icy of tho city, but leaves tho subjoct matter to bo workod out further. Reforming Prisons. Ono of tho many spaco-wrltlng "philosophers" has gono so far with tho mush-and-mllk method of han dling convicts ns to say that "All punlshmont Is worse than wrong and should bo abolished." And tho heresy finds concrete expression quite apart from his Influence, no doubt in various states, whero freak prison roforms aro being at tempted. Emphaslzo tho penitential atpects of prison life all wo wish, but let us not forgot that tho most natural effect of lessoning punish mont of crlmo 1b to invito its com mission. TIiobo who think othorwlso should know, that in no civilized country 1b tho murder rato as high as In tho United States, and nowhere aro crimes agrv'nst property so much on tho lacroaso aB horo, and nowhere do offonnoru cscapo punishment as easily. Many dotalls of prison administra tion call for revision, but In mooting thoso domandb wo must romomber that too much Immunity from tho law's Just penalties cheapens respect for law and paves tho way to moro crime. Society must know now to correct prison abuses without liv creasing tho incentive- to crlmo. Mr. Bryan's Foreign Mission. To a rank outsulor It seems an InntiBpIclous time for Mr. Bryan'a entento cordlalo mission to South America In tho first placo, thoro Is auroly enough Important work at homo to keop at least ono man in tho Stato department busy. In tho next nlaco. Is It wiso to talk of moro cordial relations with Latln-Amcrlca whllo our relations with Mexico, ono of Its largest and most powerful states, still hang in tho balance? Tho view has boon expressed that tho republics of South America aro disposed to boliovo that our purpose is ultimately to go into Mexico and tako that country us an entering wodgo to split tho entire Latin American compact. Of courso, Bitch a thought Is furthest from tho mind of our government, ovon though we mny yet bo forced by Mexico Itself to lnvado Its territory. Undor such circumstances, though, Secro tary Bryan Is apt to find tho entente cordlale business an extremely dlff I cult one In South America. Another question: wltli no secre tary of stato on tho Job and no expo rlonccd substitute In tho Stato do nartmont. who Is to look after our diplomatic affairs, except the presl dent himself? Possibly, after all President Wilson may havo a llttlo secret strategy behind his consent to tho forthcoming departure of tho uocrctary of stato out of the coun try. We learn from Boveral eastern 1 nowspapers, with a "string" man in Omaha, that tho Omaha Commercial club la preparing a surprise for Kol loy'a army of hoboes when it reaches this city. The aurprlso Is to put all the soldiers to work and out of town. This doubtless will be just as much a matter of news to the Omaha Com mercial club as to readers of thoso eastern papers. It Is flattering .to the culture and refinement of Omaha that volunteers Jiavo promptly como forward with tho pledges to make an art home cer tain. It la to be hoped Omaha So ciety of Fine Arts may soon "read Us title" clear to a permanent and sub stantial career, Senator Stone ought to mako a fino chairman of tho senate foreign relations committee for tho present administration with his natural and acquired gum-shoo tendencies.

Chief of Police Seavoy referred to the Board of Firo and Police Commissioners a letter received from tho woman a Christian Tcmpcranco union declaring that It had nvldenco of tho continued operation of wino rooms In saloons, fro quonted by women, and protesting for their abolition. Owing to the absenco of tho two notice officers who made th rounds of these places to seo If they wero Njnrilug, the board deferred action. Judgo Tuthlll of Chicago, who presided at the famous Coughlln trial for the mur der of Dr. Cronln, said he never was surprised nt Coughltn's acquittal, for bs believed others the real murderers.

When Leon R. Taylor left the stato house at Trenton he carried with him a cheek for 2 cents ns a souvenir of tho four months he acted as governor, but was not allowed to keep It, as It would cause complications In the controller's bookkeeping. Chief A. C. Sam. tho gold coast African fakir, sailed out of New York last Satur day, leaving nearly S00 of his dupes on the adjacent docks, weeping and stranded.

While women are not admitted to tho bar In England they are In Australia, and recently Miss Anna Brennan, tho first woman barrister In Melbourne, conducted a case.

Tho speaker was Miss Elsie Do Wolfe, ono of New York's most brilliant women. The scene was tho quaint, brlck-wallcd smoking room of the Colony club, which sho had herself decorated. "A poor girl," Miss Do Wolfe went on, "married an aged millionaire. " 'Oh, how could you do It?' a friend asked he.

If tho competing companies can declare "a naval holiday," why cannot competing governments do as much? Ihdlanapotls Nows: Tho wholo custom of secret sessions Is causing resentment. If senators were wise Miey would recog nUo this. A sign of tho condition Is tho recent constitutional amendment provid ing for tho popular election of senators. The same force will In time put an end to aecret sessions. Tho house, which Is a partner with the senate In tho most Important legislation, Is able to keep secret tho things that ought to bo kept so without any secret sessions. It wero Just as easy for the senate to havo secrets when the naturo of tho case demands It as for the houso to havo them. Over Land and Sea Thcro are probably not over thirty bar ber shops in India of sufficiently high class to mako use of Imported barber supplies.

Soma notion of the drain on the com mon pocket occasioned by the mad race among maratlmo nations tor naval su premacy may be attained by a glanco at the British naval budget. It is proposed to authorize an expenditure of J235,000,000 during the coming year for war vessels in order to maintain the fighting footing of Great Britain as compared with other powers.

To the Editor of Tho Bee: I wish to call your attention to a condition which I personally wit nessed Sunday afternoon at tho Empress theater. I arrived there at 3:33 p. m. for a second performance. Tickets purchased for family, wo entered tho lobby, already crowded with ladles and children mostly. All the seats were taken downstairs, and we were told there would bo none until 5 p. m., an hour and a half later. Wo were taken on the elevator up to tho sec ond balcony, where wo found It even more crowded. People were strung along the wall, entrances from elevator along wall, and about 1C0 people were waiting. Then we went down to the first balcony. whero we found tho same condition.- Wo found no seats till about 4:15 p. m. practically forty minutes nfter wo en tercd, and still people were being hauled up on tho elevator to make sure of their admission fee. Now, what Is this leading to? We have heard enough in tho past about crowded theaters and the results that havo followed some foolish person's outcry. I might ndd thot not even a po llco officer was present In case something happened. I believe the law prohibits such practice. I would suggest that this be given immediate attention. I do not wish to bo clcssed as a "knocker." but I simply express my views, as I under stand this to bo wrong. If you bellovo this might bo of some benefit for tho fu ture and public at large, you will glvo me u. llttlo spaco In your columns. "One ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure." G.

To the Editor of The Bee: Yesterday afternoon about o clock Mr. Mauler, tho baker, phoned me to como to the store and fill his gasoline can, nh ordinary two-gallon van, painica rea ana naving a cap on the center of top, and a spout at the side of tho top without a cap. When arrived he had gono, but tho can sat on tho cement walk by the gasolines pump, which is a "Bowser" of tho latest make, with a filter In the spout. I removed the fap, hung tho bale (with wood handle) on the spout, opened tho valve, unlocked tho pump and had pumped three quarts of gasoline into the can when It took rtre, apparently at the point where the can and Bpout camo together. It mado no noise, simply blazed a steady red flame as largo aB a bunch of bananas snut orr tho pump valve, took tho can from the pump and put the cap on the top, and It went out without any'damage to anything.

The Truth Abont Mexico. t , . 1 r . mm . d . . . ... u.iiviiA, iiiarcu ii. jo uio isuitor o The Bco: Under dato of February 2( received a lettor from a former No braska boy living In Monterey. Mexico, who has spent tho last nineteen years In that country. In tho pursuance of his business ho travels over a greater part of tho republlo from tho City of Mexico, north, to tho border, and airs his views on tho existing conditions In that country, which are as follows: "I find that all the reports you get In the states arc exaggerations and rcyolu tlonary lies. Monterey Is Just as peaceful as It over was. Tho line from Laredo to Monterey Is completely repaired, and trains aro running every day from Laredo to Mexico City. General Velasco has opened tho lino from Torreon to Mon tercy, and the lino 'from Eaglo Pass to Monterey Is also open. Tho rebels here In tho north are hungry, without money and very little ammunition, and, under General Mans, tho federals aro every where gaining over them. Tho federals havo practically run all tho Carranclstas out of tho state of Mexico. Leon and Coahulla and all the rebels now seem to be concentrating in tho state of Tamaullpas. Within a month the line .will bo open to Tamplco, and all border ports, except Juarez, will be In tho hands of Huerta. In splto of Mr. Wilson and Mr, uryan. Huerta Is stronger today than ever before, and ho is surely going to win out. All of the best pcoplo of th!3 country are with him, ns ure all Amer-' leans and foreigners who know anything ' about Mexico. Kven tho poorer people ' In tho smaller towns have seen that the , Carrnnclstas are nothing but bandits and robbers, and aro now supporting Huerta. The only rebel leader who Is strong at j all Is Villa at Chihuahua, and his acts ! In the last few days havo caused such indignation that I believe within ninety days Huerta will bo In control thero also. ' "The government everywhere Is dis playing great activity and has plenty of men, arms and money, and they aro the only ones who are giving protection to all foreigners and to law-abiding citizens. Monterey will never be attacked again, nor will tho rebels ever take uny other big city. "If there ever Is Intervention, It will never bo caused by any nets of Huerta, but tho rebels aro liable to commit at any tlmo such horrible crimes that the nations of tho world may take some action." The party above mentioned asked me to send above to some Omaha paper, thinking the opinion of an American rust dent of Mexico would be of Interest to citizens of the United States. E. S.
