Tho (own of Fluahlng, N. Y has
had a big go-to-church day. Just

If General Kelley holds his troops
together long enough they may yet

Surely wo will not permit MIbb

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

Mr, Taft was, of course, joking
when, ho said that if Judges woro

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

One of the lawyers Indicted for

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-

now to protect them In that preroga

Competition la keen among Ne
braska towns to furnish tho site for

seem that the advantage of near

A committee of Chicago women Is

In thp council chamber. Oh my!

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,

that won't worry most of us.
Springfield Republican: "Blnmo tho

has Its uses as tho scapegoat for the
quarrels of great men.
Pittsburgh Dispatch: Tho German
steamship companies In their treaty cf
peace Included an agreement limiting tho
production of tho biggest, fastest and
most costly ships ever launched. 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.

that on January 1 ovor tW.OOO motors of

Soma notion of the drain on the com

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. This vast sum 1b equivalent toV3

OMAHA, March 11. 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 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 same thing occurred

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.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair

There is nothing so destructive to the

lustre, Its strength and Its very life;
eventually producing a fevcrlshness and
Itching of tho scalp, which if not rem

THE VIOLINIST.
The violinist drew his bow,
And beams of love began to flow
From weakened eyes, wide and aglow
With memories of long ago.
He changed his tune to minor strain.
And trembling thoughts of sad refrain
Moved hearts to swell In pity's pain,
And tears to fall like gentle rain.
The audience, pleased and amaied,
In heart-felt adoration raised
Their hands to him and loudly praised
His vlrtuo as they heard and gazed.
The virtuoso, walking to
Tho footllght Into nearer view,
Responded thus In phrases few
To his reception's great ado:
"I thank you for your kind Intent,
But I am only Instrument,
"Like to this bow of horsehair bent,
Or catgut tense and resonant.
"To harmony belongs tho merit;
I am the same as you hear It.
The credit great Is due tho spirit
Of tho great Muse Divine. Revere It.
"Like cultivator of the flower
Or weeping willow In the bower,
I'm simply servant to tho power
Of all things noble. Au re voir."
