"Municipal home rule" Is ntlll a protty good

Shall Treason Be Rewarded ?
The first "reason" given by our Water
board boss for throwing his hat In tho ring as
a candldato for tho gubernatorial nomination.
Is a protended "desire to servo tho republican
party." To make such a statement, In the face
of a rocord which should forfeit for Mm every
possible claim upon tho party, requires tho su
premo essence of gall.
At tho primary two years ago, Mr. Howell
sought and won membership In tho republican
national committee on assuranco over his own
signature, that, though preferring Colonel
Roosovclt, ho would, If successful, givo his
hearty support to tho standard bearer of tho
party, whoever ho might be. When Mr. Taft
was nominated nt Chicago, all honorable fol
lowers of Colonel Roosevelt who wished to keep
I alloglanco to him promptly resigned from the
i committee. But not Mr. Howell! With false
hood, ou his Hps and treachery in his heart, he
continued to hold this position continued to
i wear tho shoulder straps of an officer charged
with tho conduct of tho republican campaign
while lending aid and comfort to tho political
enemy. At first working stealthily under
cover, he finally became emboldened to tho
point of appearing In person before tho su
premo court of tho stato In a last desperate ef
fort to disfranchise tho entire republican rank
and fllo of Nebraska by depriving thorn of oven
an opportunity to voto their party national
ticket.
Mr. Howell was educated ut public expense
to bo an offlcor of tho navy, resigning almost
au soon as he finished bis schooling. Had he,
whllo wearing the naval uniform In time of
war, gone half so far to holp tho enemy, he
would have been promptly court-martialed, and
convicted, and met tho traitor's fate.
Treachery Is sometimes successful, but
treason Is seldom rewarded.

How Business Men Peel.
If the National Chamber of Commerce has
correctly sounded business on tho ponding trust
legislation, it Is not qulto as favorably disposed
as rocont administration statements soem to In
dicate. Whllo thoso statements, supposedly
emanating from official sources, reflect a vory
happy mood on tho part of tho captains of in
dustry who have gone to tho Whlto House by
Invitation to discuss administration policies and
measures, tho result of tho referendum con
ducted through the Chamber of Commerce
shows a very decided objection to tho trust bills
boforo congress. Some aro oven declared to be
unworkablo, others scarcely less objectionable.
Of courso, tho fact that business men object
to thoso measures might not of itself constltuto
final Judgment of thorn. It is not to bo sup
posed that tho ono for whoso conduct tho law
was Intended would always approve it. Tho
point hero 1b, how far tho vlows of Messrs.
Morgan, Ford and others who have been to seo
tho president, aro offsot by this referendum
vote, which appoars to bo so decidedly against
tho ponding trust bills, and on the other hand,
how nearly those representatives of the big In
terests camo to disclosing their own and their
associates' real vlows to the president.
Tho chances aro that when these measures
are finally enacted Into law, If they aro suqh
as carry out the president's original Ideas of
trust regulation, they will come a long way
from meeting, entire satisfaction of tho subject
Interests, But In tho meantlmo, If the admin
istration's publicity agencies succeed in making
thoso interests bollovo they like all that Is being
done, perhaps that may have tts effect.

Our Land Monopoly.
The report ot the bureau of corporations
showing the tremendous concentration of tim
ber land In tho hands of comparatively few
men reflects a sovero indictment upon tho
blind Indifference with which tho American
peoplo have permitted precious natural re
sources to pass out of their hands Into mono
polistic control. It is bad enough that a few
Individuals and corporations own most of the
timber land, but if that wero all the situation
would not be bo serious. The fact Is, accord
ing to this report, that 1,694 men actually own
105,600,000 acres, or ono-twentloth of all the
land area of the country, and this Involves, not
only llmbor, but ores, oil, gas, water power and
Indeed agricultural soli. Today, unliko former
customs, land that Is tlmbored assumes high
values for agricultural purposes and much ot it
Is devoted to farming after cleared. The bureau
observes that such a condition as confronts us
suggests tho potential effects of high prices for
land sold to settlors, increase of tho tenantry
system or direct farming by large corporations,
all of which are inimical to tho paramount pur
pose of conserving farm interests and popula
tion. In a survey ot tho contributory causes two
cogent factors loom up, one, tho fact that rail
roads, Instead ot distributing most ot the land
obtained by government grants to settlers, as
they wore expected to do, have held onto It, and
another is that states have disposed of their
grants so as to increase the concentration. In
f loriaa, tor example, nrty-two hoidors own
one-third of all the land. Is It any wonder that
Florida Is only now beginning to develop? Rail
roads, to bo sure, have dono a good deal to
ward colonizing the test, yet not as much as
they credit themselves with. Desplto all their
advertising to this effect, only 15 per cent ot
their granted land, according to this report, is
thus far distributed among small holders, and
of the 85,000,000 ucroa granted to three west-
j ern railroads, 40 per cent ot It was still owned
by the roads as late as 1910.
Popular Ignoranco and Indifference on the
one hand and the shrewd selfishness of the
railroads on the other, have combined In all
these years to Impose upon tho country one ot
tho most serious problems with which It now
and for years to come will find Itself confronted.

OMAHA, July 13. To the Editor of the
Bee: Few people realize the medical dark
ness ot Ignoranco and superstition that
In prevalent In tho so-called civilized
world of today. It Is found not only
among tho humbler Classen, but also
among many otherwise welt educated
persons of rank and wealth. Men of
Bclenro have revolutionized medical prac
tice during tho last few years, yet most
of the medical profession have not yet
seen the light and still resort to the
business (graft) me'.hods an taught by
tho vested Intercuts ot capital and com
mercialism. Thin may seem n harsh
statement. It will, however, stand the
test of close Inspection.
The business schemes of the medical
man to work money out of tho people
are more actlvo today than over before.
Modified old or new operations and old
medicines under now names aro con
stantly being lauded nnd advertised as
wonderful new discoveries, nnd like our
genial, long-whiskered brother who put
his picture with great promises In all
the Hearst papers, September, 1907, ex
ploiting his wonderful now African bean
for tho cure of consumption, their efforts
aro only to exploit tho people for gain.
His dlshonorablo method of advertise
ment was not frowned upon by tho other
exploiters, because not being Innocent
themselves they did not care to cast the
first stone. But a new day Is at hand
and with national prohibition and woman
suffrage coming, the new ideas will not
down by the Jeers, snoers, Innuendoes
and lies of these modern grafters, ef
feminate mattolds nnd Inconsequential
morons who will bo burled under tho
coming tide of the now modernism.
When such wondorful progress Is be
ing made in all other departments of
business, shall physicians lag behind and
fall to teach the definite details ot cor
rect living, whereby moro than 1,000 lives
could be easily saved In Omaha every
yoar. Physicians are still looking for
end-products, or results of disease, be
cause It pays In dollars much greutor
rewards than it would to teach people
how to avoid disease nnd preserve health.
The colleges make their students me
chanical experts with tho knife In emer
gencies, but they do not teach them, ns
they should and can, to euro haemor
rhoids, appendicitis, cancer and many
other diseases In a painless and safer
method without the knife. Now, that so
called appendicitis has been found to be
nearly always a trouble of the colon, due
to a poisoned blood stream with consti
pation, the surgeons hayo devised a new
operation, of short circuiting the caecum
to tho rectum, maintaining the colon Is
useless and hud better be removed.
How long, oh! how long, will the people
bo thus exploited? Until they shall be
able to thoroughly understand that na
ture Is all and In all, nnd1 governed by
eternal law, that cannot bo net aside by
any form ot Incantation, medicine or
prayer. The erroneous doctrines of so
called germ diseases, the vicious and
death giving methods ot serums and vac
cinations will be no more tolerated by
thinking people than blistering and bleed
ing, so popular fifty years ago. When
four people are killed In an automobile
crush with a freight train It Is said to
bo terrible. When 150 people are killed
In a tornado tho city Is In mourning, but
when more than 1,000 lives are sacri
ficed In Omaha every year because
people do not know how to care for their
bodies, nothing Is said or done about It
When will the people wake up? When?

NORTH LOUP. Neb.. July ll.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Just at this time a
bill In before congress to lease all water-
power sites for a term of fifty years.
Every person who has studied the
water-power subject, when he begins
learning something about tt. Is surprised
at Its magnitude. Hence, when a demo
cratic congress undertakes to rush
through a bill empowering a single cabl
net officer to lease to Tom, Dick and
Harry any and all the water-power sites
ot the nation for a period ot fifty years,
thereby establishing a monopoly In a
natural resource which must soon take
the place of coal and oil, and also to
place the navigation of the rivers of the
country Into the same hands. It appears
that the Baltimore convention was a
fiasco and a gigantic sell-out.
Now let us turn to mathematics on a
practical scale. The Keokuk works may
develop 300,000 horse iower. The total
cost was 117,000.000. The kilowatt is 1.34
horse power. There are 8,940 hours In 3ti0
days. Hence, the kilowatt selling' at 1
rent per hour, would amount to Just
SM1 per year, or fiC per horse power.
This price would give a gross Income
from the Keokuk works of J19.600.000
annually.
Instead ot selling the current for 165
per horse power, we will suppose that It
be sold for $10, Hence, the Income would
be 13,000,000 annually. AVo will say the
cost of operation and up-keep is 1570,000
annually. This will leave a net Income
ot 1X430,000, or 9 per rent on the Invest
ment of 127.CO0.000.
The fact has been previously shown
that those same cabinet officers granted
a franchise In the state ot Washington
covering 350,000 horse power, with a pro
vision that the operators cannot sell elec
trlctty for less than if cents per kilowatt
hour, and If the consumer does not buy
$4 worth per year the prlee may be S
cents. More than that, no change ot
rates can be effected prior to 1914.
Kleotrlclty at 110 per hor.ie power per
year an a heating agent Is equal to hard
coal at 110 per ton. The whole object la
to strip the people of the power sites be
fore they are awaro ot their true value,

Secretary Daniel' Tribute to Fletcher.
When a few days ago Secretary of the Navy
Daniels announced that ho had recommended Ad
miral Fletcher as the surrrfsor of Admlrnl Badger
In the command of the Atlantic fleet, he Issued a
statement In wheh he emphasized not only his own,
but the president's, great admiration and regard for
Admiral Fletcher. He said, among other things:
"He has been In Mexican waters since the pres
ence of American ships In those waters was first
called for, and his command of the situation durlnK
thn whole tlm i ho hon been In charge has been
masterful. He proved himself not only a great ad
miral, but a statesman and diplomat as well. His
services commended themselves not only to the i-eo-retary.
but to tho President, and tho latter expressed
himself In high pralso when Admiral Fletcher turned
over the command of Vera Crux to General Funston.
"Both In tho taking of Vera Cruz and In tho
administration of the city government afterward Ad
miral Fletcher showed himself a man of the highest
abilities. President Wilson seized the opportunity
when presenting diplomas to the Annapolis graduates
at their recent commencement to hold up Admiral
Flotchcr as a pattern, saying, In part:
" 'Is not that something to bo proud of-that
you know how to use force llhe men of conscience
and llko gentle men. serving your fellow men and
not trying to overcome them? Like that gallant
gentleman who has so long borne the heats nnd
perplexities and distresses of the situation in Vera
Cruz Admiral Fletcher. I mention him because his
service there has been longer and so much of tho
early perplexities fell upon him.
' 'I havo been in almost dally communication
with Admiral Fletcher, and 1 have tested his temper,
I have tested hln discretion. I know that he Is a man
with a touch of statesmanhlp about him, and he has
grown bigger In my eye each day as I have read his
dispatches, for ho has sought always to serve the
thing ho wan trying to do in the temper that we all
recognize and love to believe Is typically American." "
Nntlrc of the llnwUeye Statr.
Admiral Fletcher Is a native of Iowa and was
graduated from tho Naval academy at Annapolis In
1875. In the academy at the samo time wero Admiral
Badger, tho present commander of the Atlantic fleet.
and Cameron Melt. Wlnslow, commander-in-chief ot
tho special service squadron In Mexican waters.
Hln early career In the navy was that of tho
average ofrtclcnt young officer. In 18S3 he was pro
moted to a Junior lieutenancy, and then the navy
not tho general public began to hear about Fletcher.
Within a period of seven years after his promoton
to a lieutenancy ho became one of the recognized
ordnancu authorities of tho service.
When the Spanish war broke out Fletcher was
on duty In tho ordnnr.'e department at Wasilngton.
The publlo did na hear much about the -nlnnr,ce
department during tho short period that tho war
lasted, yet the fact remains that on tht efficiency ot
that department were dependent to a great degree
the victories that the navy aub.io.f.enlly nchleved at
Manila and before Santiago.
Itecord Also nm nn Inventor.
Admiral Fletcher adds to his other abilities that
ot being able to invent things. Anions h'.s inventions
are a breech mechanism now used throughout tho
navy, a design for mounting small guns admitted to
be almost perfect, and a system of position signals
so easily understandable that. If necessary, he could
fight a battle with tho use of less than half a dozen
signals and without, the assistance ot wireless or
wigwagging.
Consideration for fur Mexicans.
A correspondent of tho New York Times at Vera
Cruz recently wrote:
"On the day that the American flag was hoisted
above the Terminal hotel following the fighting
there was a little Incident that showed Just the kind
of a man Fletcher Is.
"The marines and bluejackets thoso that bore the
brunt of the fighting were massed In the open space
between tho hotel and the Inner harbor. Tho bands
were playing, and a great crowd hod gathered to
witness the history-making ceremony. Naturally a
great many Mexicans were In the crowd, about halt
of them women and little children. They were typ
ical Moxlcan people the men with big sombreros
and trousers that fitted the calves of their legs like
gloves, tho women with gay mantillas. And It seemed
that at least two out of every three were carrying
babies In their arms.
"A big marine, who wa stationed near the
entrance to the hotel, started In to execute the com
mand to get the people back In regular American-
police fashion. He spoke In English, rather harshly,
and, ot course, the Mexicans did not understand a
word he said. But they could tell by the look on nis
facw that It was a good time to get out of the way.
" 'Get back! Get back! The marine shouted.
At that moment a figure In the lmtvacuiaie wnue
uniform wont by tho American naval officers In the
tropica appeared In the doorway of the hotel. It was
Fletcher.
"He saw the crowd being forced, back and must
have noted the puizled look: on the faces of tho

"When Nelson O'Shaughnessy. the American

Fletcher's ships, Huerta put a special train at the
disposal of O'Shaughnessy and sent him to the
American outposts escorted by a battalion or picKea
mn from the presidential guard. The commander
of this guard was General Corona, Huerta'a chief ot
staff.
"Admiral Fletcher sent Captain Huse. his chief
f ff n Trlir to meet the embassy train. The
train had departed from Mexico City following an
order Issued by the federal government that no more
American refugees would be permitted to leave the
capital. The situation was tense, and all sorts ot
alarming stories were current as to the probable fate
of the Americans trapped In the Interior of Mexico,
"Captain Huso met General Corona at Tejar.
" 'General.' said Captain Huse to the Mexican
Admiral Fletcher wishes me to inform you mat
Mexicans are being protected In tho territory undei
our control and that they are free to go where they
will whenever they wish. Those In need are being

me to Inform you that he does not entertain any
feeling of resentment, nor does he consider that your
people committed any wrong In offering resistance
to our forces when we landed at Vera Crux. They
had a perfect right tq attempt the defense of their
city, and the admiral recognizes that right to the
fullest.'
"General Corona thanked Captain Huse and said
he would report what he said to Oeneral Huerta.
Two days later the refugee trains began to move.
and from that day to this Huerta has given all the
protection in his power to Americans In Mexico who
deserve it. So far aa the records show not an Amer
