Armenians and America.
Terrible talcs of Armenian slaughter by
the Turk again come to the public notice In
tl.ls country, accompanied by an appeal that
tae United Ststes intervene to protect thin peo
I'lo from threatened extermination. If only part
of the atrocities reported were founded on fact,
(be rase would be a most dexperate one, so far
as the Armenians ere concerned. That their
liardBhlps are an incident of the war Is also
true. When the Turk entered the world conflict,
tbe perpetually precarious situation of the
Christians In the Near East was made extremely
perilous, and It was understood that the world
would be shocked by tales of murder snd rapine
from the regions where the Moslem was unre
strained in bis control. But the other nations
of Europe are directly chargeable with the pres
ence of tbe Turk in his position in Armenia and
elsewhere, and have been for these last five cen
turies. If the United States is to enter the world
er It must be with more direct provocation and
for another purpose; the rescue of the Armenians
is a labor for tbe European powers now en
gaged in strife.
Retirement of Federal Judges.
A Judge of the federal dlatrir.t court ta permitted to
retire at the age of seventy, drawing thereafter the
full pay of an active J "dire, whlrh is 10,000 a year,
until his death. Thla explains why the Department of
Justice la not willing to accept Mr. Bryan's recom
mendation for the appointment of W. H. Thompann
of Orand Iaiand to the vacant Nebraska Judgeahlp.
The government would receive only about eight yeara
of work and would tl.cn be, responsible for a full pen
alon for peihapa mora yeara than had been devoted
to active eervlce. Lincoln Journal.
Just to scotch this piece of mlHinformatlon
before It spreads further, let It be known that
the revised statutes of the United States fix the
retirement age of federal Judges at seventy, but
a! ho require a minimum service of ten years.
If a man Is appointed to the federal bench when
he Is sixty-two years old, he Is not permitted to
retire until he Is seventy-two years old In other
words, the statutes insist upon ten full years of
service as prerequisite to a retirement pension.
Still further, tbe average man's probability of
life at seventy cannot be figured at much more
than ten years, so the possibility of a pension
for a longer period than tbe years of service Is
rather remote. It may be said, however, that
the appointing powers, In making their selection
for Judicial places, as a rule, require a prospect
of more than ten years on the bench, which ac
counts for the reluctance to appoint Judges who
would have to serve beyond the age of seventy
to meet the statutory prerequisite for retirement
Wag-ei and Wealth.
From the Department of Labor at Wash
ington conies a report with the interesting In
formation that wages have been considerably
advanced la the United States during the last
year. Only one small group has undergone a
reduction in wages. Hours of labor have been
reduced in many trades, following the general
movement in that direction. This information is
quite comforting, for it shows that In some
measure the wage rate in the United States la
keeping pace with the general advance of the
living rate. Economists find ia prevailing con
ditions encouragement for the future.
The question of production and distribution
is taking on new phases with each advance In
man's capacity. Man's wants are steadily ex
panding, his tastes are becoming more exact
ing and his ambition more embracing. Produc
tion may have met the requirements of yesterday,
perhaps of today, but certainly not of tomor
row. Man wants more, and to get it he must
create it. Therefore, the question of produc
tion is not settled, nor will it be until man no
longer nourishes an unsatisfied desire.
Distribution Is coming, in America, at least,
to be on a better basis, for the good things of
life are here being passed around with less ex
cluslveness. Just as mart develops, his needs
become harder to satisfy, and his energy must
be more and more highly specialized to meet
those needs.jWages and wealth go hand in hand,
and while tbe old 'wage fund" theory may have
been discarded, the relation between the two
Is not seriously disturbed.
Why Expose Children at All?
An Omaha doctor, at a Des Moines gathering
of doctors, delivered an address, advocating the
exposing of children while young to contagious
diseases, thus building up a race of immunes.
This rather startling suggestion was met with
the Immediate opposition of another doctor,
equally certain of the point, who contended
that youngsters have no special capacity for
resisting disease, and as many of them die aa
do the elder. This point may be of Interne In
terest to the "mind that's scientific," but it
holds a little element of wonder for the layman.
Why expose children, or anyone else, for that
matter, to the menace of contagious diseases?
Is it really necessary that we have the mumps,
the measles, the whooping cough, or any
ether dangerous and avoidable Ills that beset
ihlldhoodf Doctors really ought to be busy edu
cating people In how to escape from these
trials. The bacteriologists for yeara have been
n ultlplylng our dangers by many times, while
the medicine men are equally active in supply.
Ing us with avenues for escape. If science of
fensive and defensive persist, may we not hope
for a return to that happy condition when
death will be occasioned alone by loss of blood
or lack of breath.
Speculation about President Wilson's feel
ings regarding W. J. Bryan's proposed peace
mission wastes time and space. There Is noth
ing in politics surer than that the president
favors the mission. It is a hundred-to-one shot
that It Bryan will merely hint at a winter's stay
abroad tbe president will bid him a cheery god
epeed at tbe dock.
From a corporation point of view things are
better ordered in Mexico than on this side of the
line. The street car company of Matamoraa,
yielding to the demands of strikers, promptly
pushed the extra cost on patrons by advancing
rates. American efficiency has some leagues to
go before reaching that destination.
It Is painfully evident that the money-lending
bankers of this country have no respect for
tbe opiuluna of Colonel Bryan and Senator J.
Hani Lewis. "Don't loan money to foreigners,"
the politicians cry. Thereupon the heedless
bbukers nudge up to the deal.

forgave or forgot their enemies and kept away irom

medicine, however, haa a certain psychological effect,
and soma druKS poaaeas ths property of changing
conditions in the human body. Tha practice of medi
cine, at beat, la almply a game of guess-work, because
tha action of diuga varies to a remarkable degree
upon different individuals. Tha reason there are so
very many doctors and so very many medicines la
becauae the dear people demand a variety, so theT
can change from one to another when result are
unsatisfactory. whl h Is frequently the case.
I am told that in America there are soma W.OOO
patent medicines, and possibly I per cent are down

"regular" physicians, although I am unable to tell
you what a "regular" physician la. Now. It aeems
to me that If a man makes a good remedy. It is
hardly criminal to let tha public know about It. and
tha beat way to let the public know la by advertising.
If a man advertlaea a remedy that Is not good. It Is
only a queatlon of time until he will find no sate for It.
It happens that men who advertise very often get
rich, while men who don't advertlae very often V

tha medicine Industry through the enactment of laws.
That Is to say. If they can make It Illegal for any
body but an organisation doctor to treat people who
ara ailing, they will soon be able to sell their Fords
and buy Teckards.
Now, If doctors cured the people they treat, I would

Is tha same percentage of decent folk who sell pre
pared remedies at reasonable prices aa there are de

very many proprietary remedies that are as standard
aa any prescription that any present day physician
can write, and in millions of homes you will find
these remeMoa In every day use with satisfactory
results. And theae remedies are largely bounht and
used by people who cannot afford to summon a doc

thing Is needed to banian pain or soothe a tired brow
Frequently they are folk who have, at much sacri
fice, taken from their slim stores and paid doctors for
services which conferred no benefit whatever.
Patent medicine advertising, no matter how worthy
the remedies er how Immaculate the copy. Is not
accepted by a few newspapers. Tet theae same news,
papers do not hesitate to print announcementa of
things that make mdlc!ne neceaairy. They open theli
columns to all forms of condiments, preaervea,
pickles, pastries and various victuals that derange the
digestive tract, clog up the Brie canal and Invite the
peripatetic pimple to the chaste cheek of Blanche and
Mabel. They rdvertl'e corsets that choke the dia
phragm, and shoea that create corns, both of the hard
and soft kingdoms. They give space to mince meat
that puts the sane In stomach, but deny space to the
man who promotes a remedy to take the ache out.
If It ia ethical to advertise shoea that make corns,
why I ask from the heart Is It unethical to advei
tlae a corn remedy T It your pickles and preserves and
pastry send the pimple te the nose of Nelly, why not
let a man making a pimple eradicator tell Nelly how
to banlah the vexatious thing? If your various vie
tuals give Jim the eczema, do you think it more ele
vating to society to let him stand scratching In front
of the court house or public library, or tell him In
your paper the particulars about some simple oint

Why should It be improper to Inform a bilious man,

It (s Juat as easy for a publisher to discriminate
between the aood and bad In advertised remedies it
between the good and bad In department stores, gro
cery atorea, ahoe stores and dell ateeren stores. No
branch of trade la Immune from mountebanks and
crooks, and It Is simply a matter of Judging values
by the exercise of oemmon sense to clear up the whole,
situation. No advertising la objectionable If It crn
veya information of alue to the whole people, and It
la aurely desirable to know what to do when you are
not feeling well. The doctor haa hla place .and eo
have patent medicines, and the world will take a big
atep backward If It ever gives the sheepakln power to
prevail over ordinary horn sense. Why the newa
papera should eapouee the cause of tha doctor, who
hatea advertising like "Billy" Sunday hates hell, and
scorn the reputable patent medicine man, who haa
done more for advertlalng than any other for-e
known, really I am inable to aay.

Larhrlaa for Commercial flak.
OMAHA. fVpt 14. -To the Kdltor of
The Bee: There Is one lltt.e Innovation
that I would sincerely like to see made
by our Commercial club. It Is a plan that
the Lincoln organisation has followed for
some time and which haa proved practical
In its working.
Many buelnees men, dealers In all lines
of business from out In the state, come
Into Omaha each month on business
trips. Oftentimes they are here for only
a day or possibly a few hours. Most of
them know of and would like to visit
the Commercial club, but either do not
know anyone connected with It or cannot
find anyone at that partie f t time who
can take them to the club. Naturally,
they feel aome timidity about pressing
themselvea Into the club rooms. In ad
dition. It Is not possible for theae men
to lunch there unless accompanied ty a
club member.
The Lincoln Commercial club has
solved this matter by sending reputable
merchants In the state membership cards
and asking them to use the facilities of
the club while In that city. This Is a
matter of small moment aa regarda ex
pense, but It haa proved to be a mighty
popular plan with the out-of-town mer
chants. There are many who would
utilise the opportunity if offered to them,
but mighty few who will be, for It.

out ths preposterous assumption of the
divine prerogative or supernatural attri

he Incites through Individual Initiative
to a greater exercise of the religious
virtues, without the dictum of clerical
authority.
I admire Evangelist Sunday because he
asks of men and women no religious
service, which he doea not do In a man
ner common to all men.
I admire Evangelist Sunday because
he preaches a religious democracy of In
dividual liberty In Christ, and not a
theocracy of ecclesiastical absolutism.

OMAHA, Sept 84. To the Editor of The

Ham Lewis In opposition to our loaning
money to England, Pranoe and Ruaaia.
I think these gentlemen are wrong. For
years these nations have been our cus
tomers and we have sold them hundreds
of millions of dollars of our products.
They now want to establish a Una of
credit so they can buy more. If their
credit Is bad, then we might refuse, but
as they now hold three thousand million
dollars of our securities It looks like good
business on our part.
If we mako this loan It In time will be
paid. It may be much better to make It
and let them burn It up than for us to
spend one thousand millions In battle
ships and other war supplies that we
may never need. This loan is safer than

Herman Hagedom, In Poetry.
There la no sword In my hand
W here I atth vcrt
Fat! Hi Inr.d. mother's Isnd,
What will you say of me,
Who am blood of your German TMoefl,
Through and through.
Tet would not If I could,
Slaughter lor yeuT
What will you say of one
Who has no heart
Even to cheer you on?
No heavens spart.
No guiding God appaare
To my strained -ryes.
Athwart the fog of fears
And hates and Ilea,
I see no goal, I mark
No ringing message flying;
Only a brawl In the dark
And death and the groans of the dying
Tor you, your men of dreams
And your strong men of deeds
Crumble and die with screams.
And under hoofs like weed
Are trampled; for you
In city and on hill
Votcee you knew
And needed are still.
And roundabout
Harbor and shoal
The lights of your soul
Go out
To what end O Fatherland?
I see your legions sweep
Like waves up the gray strand.
I hear your women weep.
And the sound Is as the greaolag
Swish of the ebbing wave
A nation's pitiful moaning
Heste an open grave.
Ah, Fatherland, not all
Who love you most.
Armed to triumph or fall,
March with your mighty host.
Some there are yet, as I,
Who atand apart
And wt'h aching heart
Ponder the WMther and Whr
Of the tragic story,
Aaking with bated breath,
Which way lies glory
And which way, death?

What to Eat
In Hot Weather
MEATS, heavy and greasy foods,
should be eaten very sparingly
during hot weather. They heat the
system and tax the digestion. Faust
Spaghetti ought to be indulged in
during summer not only because it
does not heat and is very easy to
digest, but because it is also ex
tremely nutritious. It contains the
rich gluten of Durum wheat, which
is a blood enricherand muscle builder.
There is practically no end to the
ways that Faust Spaghetti can be pre
pared to make relishable eating.
