That Christian Endeavor convention which

The War Cry fittingly designates a paper

Can-arm's Beit Opportunity.
Another turn in the wheel of Mexico's for
tunes has placed the capital city Id the hands
of Carrsnts, and thus gives the first chief" his
heat opportunity to make good aa a leader. If
he Is of sufficient callbor he may now bring
peace and order to the affairs of his distracted
country. He has a splendid advantage in the
support of Obregon, who seems to be the near
est approach to a real soldier of the many who
have engaged In the turmoil. Carrania has not
hitherto shown much capacity for statecraft, but
Obregqn may assist him In formulating and en
forcing a policy that will hrlng about stability
In his government. The war In Mexico Is not
over, nor Is It likely to be for some time, but
the "army" now on top may prove strong enouRh
to bring about the settlement all wish for. In
the meantime, the partisans of Huerta, Villa and
the others are busily trying to Influence Amer
ican public opinion In their favor and against
Carranxa, to thwart bis plans for possible peace.
Another Problem Ahead of Omaha
The flooding of buildings by a downpour of
vater in such volume aa to overtax the facilities
for draining It off directs attention to another
l-roblem which Omaha will have to take up
before long. In this particular inatance the
trouble seems to have been purely local to the
area affected, and a small area at that, and per
l's ps such an exceptional rainfall In so short a
time cannot be always provided against. The
fact Is, however, that Omaha Is taxing the
capacity of Its sewer system, not so much In the
outskirts snd residence districts as In the down
town center, and this situation is bound to call
for measures of relief which should not be too
long deferred.
While the superficial area for surface water
remains the same, the extension of our thor
oughfares and the covering with buildings of
previously unoccupied lots forces almost all of
the rainfall Into the sewers, leaving less and
less to be absorbed naturally Into the earth.
Graver still Is the Increasing pressure on our
sewer facilities through the erection of great
office and store buildings and large apartment
houses, which in effect multiply the area to be
aowered aa the number of stories Is multiplied.
This expansion has been rapid of late years, and
Is certain to continue, and, without attempting
to quote definite figures. It Is a safe assertion
that the volume of sewage going through the
main outlets Is many times what It was when
these sewers were first built. A careful survey
of Omaha's sewerage system, and of the proba
ble demands to be made upon It, would be some
thing for which the money would be well spent
If followed up with enlargement or rebuilding
of the trunk lines and laterals that are being
cutgrown.
Scolding' the Newspapers.
Mr. Bryan is still Indulging In bis favorite
amusement of scolding the newspapers, taking
the comment on the present war situation as a
pretext. He concedes the right of individuals
to hold opinions, but he berates the newspaper
that expresses one. In the present crisis a
newspaper cannot remain silent without being
recreant. - It owes to Itself the expression of
definite views, for It Is the most efficient sgency
for the formulation and reflection of public
opinion. None of the American newspapers are
clamoring for war, but through the expressions
of all runs a note that Is clear and distinct In
support of the position taken by the president,
snd which Mr. Bryan seised as an excuse for
abandoning his place In the president's councils.
Mr. Bryan's present utterances presuppose a
condition that does not exist. He would appear
In a much better light If be took a little broader
view of the situation and did not so Insistently
demand conformity to his own opinions.

Nature's Majeitio Exhibition.
Borne of Omaha's citizens are of such excel
lent condition of body and conscience that they
are undisturbed by the wonderful exhibition of
power and majesty given by nature during the
late watches of Sunday night; but thousands of
others were awakened, and for hours viewed
such a display of heavenly pyrotechnics a Is
rarely given to any to witness. Lightning terri
fies and thunder dismays many, but even the
most timid could not avoid being impressed 'by
the fact that here was unrolled for man's be
mlldernient the scroll of one of nature's secrets.
We all know that lightning Is the result of a
discharge of electricity from cloud to cloud, or
from cloud to earth; we also know that this
electricity Is gathered together on the surface
of tiny bits of moisture, and as these coalesce
to form the raindrop the surface covered by the
electricity Is reduced, until the surplus Is set off
In the vivid flash of lightning that burna a terri
ble white streak across the blackness of the
night, and that the thunder follows because of
the Inrush of the disturbed air to fill the
vacancy torn by the electrical dlacharge.
Who among ua can form any conception of
the mighty force that can generate such an elec
trie dlvrharge as is beyond the capacity of all
rur human agencies combined, and not only
that, but to continue It through hours of so mag
r.iflcent illumination as to fairly awe the least im
pressionable beholder? In the presence of this
stupendous show of incomprehensible power we
are reminded of the words of the PnalmUt.
"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him.
or the son of man, that Thou vlstteth him?"
It Mr. Bryan really feels the wsy he now
talks, "that a large majority of the people will
heartily approve any step the president may see
fit to take." he, himself, cannot be with the
majority or be would have stayed in the cabinet
and approved whatever the president proposed
without so much as inquiring what was to be
proposed.
Aimed at Omaha
Newman Orove Reporter; A ehort Ume ago an
Omaha man had a leter in The Bee telllna; how
cheaply he and his family could live. He said they
only buy a pound of meat a woek and that he eAts
all of that because he must have It to keep up his
strength for his work. He has a wire and five or six
children. The only luxury thst Is bought la tobacco.
That takes 1 cents a week and the aupposltlon la
that he uses all of that Other folks are now com
ing hark at him for his eelfiehnesa and eome of the
comment that are printed would curl the hair on a
Mlly soat Me said that one way to save money Is
for the msn to do sll the buying and not give his
wife anv money. This makes the women mad
Moldrege Progresa: Omaha democrats have started
a campaign to secure the 191. national convention of
their party for that city Omaha is big enough, has
now excellent hotel faillltles snd a convention hall
that Is adequate to the needs of such a gathering.
The central location of the Nebraska city, too, should.
be given great consideration. Some pretty strong
democrats live In Omaha and they should be suc
cesaftil In their ambition to get the convention. The
state aa welt aa the city would profit Immeasurably
by their success.
Fremont Tribune: In view nf the fart that two
Omaha papers had leading editorials on the new
world a champion wrestler, Tribune readers will
doubtless excuse It for giving editorial attention to
the same subject slnoe Joe Slecher Is a Dodge county
product.
Lincoln Star: An Inquisitive member of th-i
Omsha Board of Education has Inquired why several
hundred dollars ahould be apent on a laundering out
fit and what the students In washing will find to
wash. It Is a rather atartilng query and remains
unanswered, although It la strenuously urged that
laundrv work Is an essential of the domestic economy
course. Doubtless there ere a good many Omaha
women who have spec-lallied in It without any coetly
equipment
Kearney Hub: The Omjiha Ree declares that "In
a representative government there Is rarely any valid
excuses for secret sessions of a public body," thla
general remark applMng to the Omaha school board
and the Omaha water hoard. The Roe suggests
a starter." that some member of the school
hoard with the courage of his convictions should, pro
pose and force a vote on a rule making meetings
of the board and Its committees open at all times
to the public. The suggestion might also apply to
Kearney.
Hllver Creek Pand: An Omaha paper says that a
picnic party In that little town on the Fourth of
July were driven, off their grounds by a bum-h cf
snakes. It could never happen In Pllver Creek or
at Cracow, hut If Mayor Ifehlman waa not there it
might have been real snakes.

have to be regulated If Omaha expects to retain
the confidence of the country at eventa of this kind
no) secure their patronage In the future.
Dodge Criterion: The Omaha attitude has under
gone a change since Joe Htecher has proven himself
a winner and an honest man. Now the hunch down
at the Nebraska metropolis claim him as their man.
Of course It Is all right and proper for them to
boost a Nebraska product, but up here we still re
member how that crowd treated Joe a short time
ago. Joe la plenty big enough for the entire state.
but we want the Omaha crowd to please remember
he Is a Dodge boy.
Lincoln Journal.- Not content with the splnndM
prospect' of having Billy Sunday In a seven-weeks'
performance for the salvation of Douglns county,
Omaha Is stirring Itself for the democratic national
convention of 11. If the city becomes what Sunday
will endeavor to make It. 1t will be no place for a

COUNCIL BUJFFS. July lU-To the
Editor of The Bee: r would like to reply
to what Horaoe P. Holmes, M. D., says
In today's Bee regarding hla ao-callod
demonstration In palmistry.
In the first place, he claims to have
become so Impressed by the reading of a
noted palmist that he determined to mas
ter the art. But because he failed to
learn, he winds up by saying there Is
nothing to It.
Now, to Illustrate the absurdity of a
claim he makes, let me tell you a little
story. On July 3 Mr. Brown wtth aa open
letter in his hand cornea Into the pres
ence of his wife and daughters and
makes this statement: "Usten here,
thla letter aays that Brother Tom and
his wife and family wUl be here this
afternoon on the 4:0 train, and will
stay over the Fourth with ua."
Now don't you think that hla wife and
daughters flew about pretty lively pre
paring for their company, till one of
them happened to see the letter, which
really read aa follows:
BI.ANKV1I.LE. Julv t-IV.r Rrcth.r-
If John Smith happens to pav me the S&0
he owea me. which 1 don't think he can.
and ha woundn't if he could, aad tf the
cniiaren, who are all down sick with the
measles, get well In time, we wUl so to
see vou tomorrow, arriving on the 4:30
train, anu win stay over the Fourth with
you. providing Sain Jones will drive us
to the railroad station, six miles from
here, which I don't see how he can, be
cause one of his horses ts lame and tha
hack Is broken down. Yours truly.
TOM BROWN.
Now, In describing hla Investigation,
I)r. Holmes says: "I have Chelro's "Lan
guage of the Hand" before me. and re
garding tho life line It says: 'If it waa
of full length. It promises a long life; If
It were broken, It meant death according
to the position of the break'."
Now, the way It really reads, page mu.
In Chelro's "I,anguae of the Hand." Is
a follows:
The line of life ahouki be long, narrow.
deep, without Irregularities, breaks or
crosses of anv kind: such a formation
promises long life: eto.
Note the varied and many attributes
which a long life line should possess If it
slrrrifies a long Ufa. Neither Cheiro nor
any other of the numerous authorities on
palmistry claim that merely a long llfo
line signifies a long life: there must be
other favorable markings.
The so-called Ufa line ts In reality more
of a health line, while the bracelets of
life tell the length of our natural lives.
One cannot learn all of palmistry front
the books Cheiro has written, but should
glean truths from the half dosen other
good works on palmistry.
I have searched the libraries of a num
ber of cities for certain points hi palm
istry which I have failed ts find: but la
U not so with any deep subho-t one must
l.eep on seeking knowledge
Often tieople seeking readings are very
unreasonable and almost expect the palm
ist to tell ths onlor of their grandmother's
eyelashes, or how many forty-seoond
ooualns they have. But a acientlfto palm
ist ia not a elalrvovent nor spiritualist
nor a wltcn, but a student of one of the
moat wonderful "truths to be proven"
that this old world affords.
