Our amiable democratic contemporary
eeoms to be deeply dliturbod becauso tho recent
republican got-togothor conclave was content
with hearing orators tell why factional differ
ences should bo sunk, and refrained from draw
ing up plans and specifications for an attack
upon tho rocord and policies of tho democratic
Administration. "It Is significant," it exclaims,
"that the record of President Wilson and a dem
ocratic congress was so gingerly criticised. It
Is significant becauso the reason for lack of de
tailed and outspoken criticism has a direct
bearing on tho npproaching campaign."
Our democratic friends should not be so im
patient, for their fondest expectations, or,
rather, their most disquieting fears, will all bo
met In due time. The campaign is young yet,
and congress in still in session, with tho larger
part of the democratic program yet to bo com
pleted. Tho first chapter of the record, tho
democratic tariff, tho republicans will gladly
toko Issuo on, and for tho second and third
chapters, tho currency bill and ropcal of tolls
exomptlon, they will find plenty of ammunition
furnished ready to hand by democratic critics.
It is poselblo that beforo wo are through not
evon tho domocrats, themselves, will defend
"watchful waiting" In Mexico, and tho anti
trust bills aro only beginning to emerge.
So wo say to our prematurely excited dem
ocratic friends, Be moro patient. As soon as
tho issues aro fully drawn, and tho tlckots nom
inated and tho campaign duly openod, thoro
will bo no room to complain of "gingerly" crit
icism of democratic mlsgovemment.

OMAHA, June 24, To the Editor of
The Bee: When the youthful nnlph
Titzel was drowned Sunday, In Carter

companions and by bystanders to se
cure the aid of tho men In charge of the
bath-house, In rescuing Tltiel. A large,
porky individual, apparently managing
things, was appealed to and replied, "He
didn't rent his suit from us, we didn't
see him go down we're not responsible
for him."
If the btach had been properly super
vised; If It had been In charge of men
who wouldn't let their netural humane
Instincts bo banished by anything so
mercenary as tho rental price of a
bathing suit and a towel (30 cents) Titzel
might havo b' cn taken from the water
In time to be revived.
As It was, It remained for help from
distant points, viz; tho Carter Lake club.
county officials, etc., to carry on the
attempted rescue after precious minute
had been wasted while the bath-house
management tarried on shore and hid
behind thirty cents worth of profit lost
to dodgo responsibility which none but
those devoid of humane Instincts would
fall to offer In the moment of distress.

"Dress Is neither moral nor Immoral. It
Is simply unmoral."

Henry Watterson In Louisville Courier Journal.
"Every one that knew her felt the gentle pow-wow-er
Of Rosalie the pcr-a-rer flow-wow-er."
It seems that some Incongruvial observations as
cribed by a reporter of the Brooklyn Eagle to the
editor of the Courier-Journal very Inconfruvlal for
not only made havoc with his part of speech, but
muddled some of his opinions as such methods of
publication are wont to do have stirred the sensi
bilities of general, tho Honorable Rosalie Jones, of
the Sky-Scraping Foot Marines. It is the more to
be regretted since the particular branch of the prop
aganda represented by this Lady of the Decorations
has from tho first drawn from these columns their
copious and admiring acclaim. The following un
folds the melancholy truth and tells the sorrowful
tale:
St. Louis. Mo.. Juno 16. 'Ooneral' Itosalle Jones.
who won her tltlo as a suffrage leader on famous
hikes from New York ,Clty to Albany and Wash
ington, today challenged Henry Watterson to de
bate as a result of the Loulavllto editors Jibes at
suffrage.
'Real y. do you know. I think Colonel Watterson
should dress In knee brecchea and wear nice, fluffy
laces and such,' said she. "He belongs to the age
when they woro such things. I think such attire
would bo quite appropriate In his case. As for the
colonel's attacks on suffrage, he Is doing us a great
good.
When told that Watterson had said that women,
by their suffrage ravings, hod broken up peace In
the only place where a man could find It, the home,
"General" Jones' bright eyes flashed for an Instant,
and, pounding tha table with her fist, she replied:
"Right here and now I challenge Henry watterson
to a debate on equal suffrage, to be held on the St.
Louis courthouse stops. Why, If he will, only come
hero and debate with me, he will help us win the
vote for Missouri."
"It Is such a pity. 'Marse Henry' Is wasting all
of that brilliant oratory of his around old New
York town when we need him right here In Mis
souri to win tho cause for us."
Noting that tho word "Home" affects some of
our would-be-gentlemen lady friends as water af
fects a hydrophobic, let us say at once that Gen
eral, tho Honorable Rosalie Jones has been misled
In one or two matters of fact. 8he may have
girded her lions,, but surely she has not studied the
cucpapers. "Old timers," Interposes tho St Louts
Republic "will recall that Henry Watterson, when
acting as chairman of a democratic national con
vention, onco stopped the proceedings, defied the
rules of parliamentary practice and compelled the
delegates to listen to a speech by a woman. He
knew ho was wrong, but, being a southern gentle
man and a Kentucky colonel rolled Into one, he
simply could not refuse the fair orator, and he would
not have refused, as wo verily believe, If he knew
that he was about to wreck the party, bring on a
forcian Invasion, or stop the publication of tho
Courier-Journal. Remembering this Incident and
considering the chivalrous Instincts of tho colonel,
wonder what he will do with that challenge
to debate the suffrage question hurled at him by
General Roeallo Jones. It uurely puts him In a
tight 'place.

His opinions are familiar to his constant readers.
Thoy have been often and amply Bet forth In thes
columns. They were confused a bit and dlstortea

him with regard to exact expression. For examplo

Something About
Government Ownership
No. 9
Contrary to the Amer
ican custom of 24-hour
telephone service, practi
cally every government
owned European tele
phone exchange, except in
the very large cit
ies, is closed all
night.
American tele
phone and tele
graph rates, in
terms of the actual buy
ing power of money, are
much lower than those of
any government-owned
system in Europe.
Wages paid American
telephone employees are
the highest in the world.
Europe has four times
the population of Amer
ica, but less than
one-third the num
ber of telephones.
Every European
telephone expert
who has visited America
has conceded that the tel
ephone service here is the
"model of the world."
Bell Telephone Service Has Set the
Standard for the Rest of the World.
