Street Fair Em Outlived Ita ITaefuIneia.
Kvory man, woman and child in Omaha Is
proud of every feature of the Ak-8ar-Ben fes
tivities but one. The one feature of which no
one ia proud ia the so-called atreet fair, which
l.i never mentioned except in a tone of apology
and with a sense of humiliation.
The street fair has been continued so far
year by year by the board of governora, and
tolerated by the people of Omaha, only because
relied on to bring la the money needed to pay
fcr the beautiful street parades, which one and
ail are Invited to witness without coat. In the
beginning the atreet fair had aome instructive
and educational values, It included displays by
ot r local merchants and manufacturers, and the
exhibition of agricultural products of the Doug
Ins county fair. The merchants' booths dropped
i ut long ago, and the county fair waa crowded
out by the change of location, so that nothing
now remains but ordinary sideshows,, cheap
fakers, sure-thing games and rough-house con
fetti throwing. There la nothing distinctive
about H except its coarseness, and even as a
noneymaker It haa seen Its beet days.
We know we voice the aentlment of the vast
majority of the people of Omaha and of the Ak-8ar-Ben
visitors aa well, when we say the
atreet fair haa served ita purpose ao far aa Ak-Sar-Bea
la concerned, and that we have all had
enough of it. We know also that the board of
governora would gladly embrace an opportunity
to let go of the atreet fair If only given a help
ing band and la thla laudable purpose they
should have every encouragement.
Great Britain Hew Tariff.
Reginald McKenna la traveling over the
road followed by Lloyd-George and all his pred
ecessors, who have had to "raise the wind" to
meet the British budget, and ia finding it, aa
did all his predeceaaora, quite rough. In addi
tion to the time-honored Income and excise
taxea, the land tax and other cwaaurea for ob
taining revenue, Mr. McKenna haa added import
duties oa tobacco, tea, and a number of other
articles. The protest going up ia auch aa the
British taxpayer alone knows hew to make,
when some one of hia traditional privileges or
exemptions la trenched upon, la thla instance
he la hit la a number of places, and isn't yet
quite certain which hurts worse.
For Americana, the main interest will be
found In the fact that England Is coming to
adopt the protective tariff. Since Richard Cob
den won his fight for free trade, by the repeal of
the "corn law" In 1813. the United Kingdom
has been devoted to frea trade. Canada and Aus
tralia have adopted the protective tariff aystcm,
while the mother country haa rltildly held to
the poltcy now being abandoned. England haa
been the one country in all the world that could
well afford to leave ita ports open to the world,
but events have forced it to withdraw a policy
that has been given over by all great powers.
The rage of the free traders will be of little avgll
against the urgency of the war's necessities, and
tbe McKenna budget will open a new era In
Great Britain.
Railroud passenger men coruplala ot dimin

The Rockefeller Industrial plan ia aciptl
y a large majority of the referendum vote of
the mine workers. The only way to find out
how It will go Is to give it a fair trial. If It
proves even a partiul success it will be a big
redit mark for young Mr. Rockefeller.

, Omaha as a Manufacturing Center.
Omaha's high rank aa a manufacturing cen
ter la confirmed by a bulletin, Just Issued frov
the census bureau, covering the growth of the
five-year period. lsOM. and showing a steady
and satisfactory growth in all lines. Every
itim shows an Increase, save that of "number
cf establishments," which haa dropped from
433 to 417. This ia accounted for almost
v holly by the decrease in a single Industry, to
bacco, 'which lost aeven eatabllahmenta. Ia
cieases of S8.1 per cent In salaries paid, 20.1
per cent in wages, 18. in salaried employee and
11.3 in average number of wage earners em
ployed are noteworthy. Capital employed, cost
of raw material and selling price of product,
with value added by manufacture, all ehow sub
tautlal gaina.
The report la confined exclusively to Indus
titea carried oa under the narrow definition of
"factory," but gives a total output of $T,8IS.-
000 for 114. To thla must be added the
South Omaha total, which ia considered by the
cenaua bureau aeparately, and haa not been re
ported upon. The ahowlng la a moat creditable
one and will be a aurpriae to a lot ot people who
1 eve not seriously bought of Omaha aa a man
ufacturing center. With 161,164,000 capital
employed, and a pay roll of 11,64.006, thla
town begins to look like an induatrial center,
especially when the great packing houae iadus
try la kept in mind.
Another five years ot similar growth Is now
under way, and an even better exhibit of im
pressive totals will then be made. All lines of
Industry are locally active, the pay roll ia gen
trot's and regular, and the future la bright with
promise. Way for the Greater Omaha!

What Every Householder

The houaewtfe keenly ertlnlea label to ee that
he la not buying cheap Imitation, or food with
preservative or colored t Imitate otTe niperl
product. But what doe th areraae person know or
care about th bottle of mltk left en the, doorstep
In the early momlna? The fimr Is disturbed 'f
there doe not aPar to be enouh cream In the neclf
of the bottle, but beyond that hie lntret cee. .
a matter of ct. the amount of eream In milk eom
varatlrelv unimportant when conaldertng It whole
omerwM. rreeOom from dirt and baxtetl Is much
more Important. Too little cream mar mean the los
of mim food material, but too much dirt mny mean
ickness
Unfortunately, the con'imr I ik1 able to tell for
himself much about the purity of th milk rtellvarej
to him. He can ae the weerlls In th flour; he itt
feel the grit In the iigar; but the Impuiitles In mlPt
can not be ao readily drterted. To be desirable, mlllt
tnuat conform te certain phyalcat, chemical and ba--
terlolotrlcal atandard. Physically. ' milk should he
free from lump er particle of dirt, and hould not
have any unpleeeent taste or odor. From a chemical
standpoint milk ahould oontaln the normal amounts
of the various nutritive element and ahou., e abao
Ititely free from preeervatlvea BacterloloaTiralljr, milk
should contain only a email number of bacteria none
of which la capable of producing disease in the hunrnn
yatem. Sue a milk la aafe, ' economical anl
palatable. " '
The consumer ahould know In what way milk may
he contaminated both on the farm ant in the city. In
the past, consumers hare done a great deal to block
pufe milk campaigns by refusing to recorniae the fact
that It cost more to produoe and handle milk f
the beat quality. The purpoee and method .if
pasteurisation should be thoroughly understood. Con
trary to the belief held by many, proper pasteurisa
tion does not Injure the chemical or nutritive qualities
of tha milk, but does kilt all of the dangerous bac
teria, thus rendering tha milk safe for human foci
If the consumer buys pasteurised milk he should make
sure that It has been properly pasteurised.
Milk should receive the most rarefu. treatment
In the home, ss many of the trouble encounter
with milk are due to the Isnorance or rarelessnesa of
the consumer. It should be kept cold at nit times an l
should be protected from contamination.
' What can th consumer do to ascertain whether
he Is getting pure milk? Every householder should
frequently examine tha milk to sea whether or not
there la sediment la the bottom of the bottle. The
presence of sediment Is evidence of carelessness, and
Should be brousht to th attention of the dealer. The
milk should have no dlaarreeable flavor or odor, and
If properly refrtawrated, should keep sweet until the
next day's supply Is delivered. Karljr souring Is cause,)
by excessive numbers of bacteria or by Improper
refrigeration In tha home.
These are a few simple testa, wut for complete
snd reliable Information the consumer should team
to confer with the health department which should
be in position to furnish data regarding the cleanli
ness and safety of the milk from any dairy,
Last of all, the careful housekeeper will visit the
dairy from which she buys milk to see for herself
that tha utmost pains are taken te safeguard this
Important food.

OMAHA, Oct. lL-To the Kdltcr of The
TVs : I am a reader of The Ree and.
being a traveling man. I was particularly j
Interested In the re.-ent discussion of the
moral and general deportment of trar- j
ellng men.
In the first plaoa, 1 wish to remind our
critics that the traveling nia.ii la subject
to temptations to which the ordinary
buslneas man is Immune; lor Instance,
he Is sway frero home, no wife or neigh
bors te watch or criticise; also he has
a good deal of time on his hands to dis
pose of. and as he ia generally consid
ered a sport, everyone experts that he
will travel on high. Therefore the local
highflyers In town a or around hotels al
aaya nick him as a companion. How
ever, I firmly believe that the averege
traveling man la morally, Intellectually,
and even physically, keeping up with the
trend of civilization.
Rut let me turn to a e'iblett I wish
to discuss, and that 1 the extreme bru
tality of a certain policeman WhlcM I
was compelled to witness the other even
ing. 1 have noticed time and time again
In various cities that occasionally an of
ficer of the law will upon the ellajhtest
provocation brutally attack a civilian
who hs a sort of down and out appear
ance. Tbe case I refer to was this:
Friday evening on the carnival grounds
a man, slightly under the Influence of
liquor, got lntn an argument with on
officer, and although I did not hear th
exchange of words, I saw the officer slug
this man In the mouth with ter rifle
force, no doubt loosening or displacing
a numbir of teeth. The offender waa
then bundled Into the patrol wagon and.
taken to the station, where heavon
knowa what happened to him.
I am positive that tills attack was en
tirely unprovoked and will aay that I
could see this off(r given forty lashe
with absolute composure, not to aay
pleasure, and I would be extremely
gratified to see all officer who are sub
ject to such violent attacks of temper
removed fnom the force, as they are in
capable of the Judgment and control
which a police officer ahould have.

OaiAHA. Oct. lL-To tha Editor of The
Bee: Allow in te insert these few line
In your most valuable columns aa an ap
peal to your innermost feelings of human
love to open wide your pagea for exprea
alon of protest and Indignation In an
eemeat manner againut those unheard
of atrocltiea that are being committed
upon aq old defenseless nation, the Ar
menians, th old people of Mount Ararat,
the aery first Christiana of the world,
by those unspeakable Turks, who seem
te be encouraged through German' and
Austrian Influences to keep on tnelr das
tardly actions without fear or hindrance.
I believe that the press In tho United
Htatea has been th foremost hell ringer
of protests and indignation, whenever
and wherever sh Inhuman act waa com
mitted upon any auhject nation, without
any slightest mark of distinction of
religion and race, by another cruelly In
clined, despotic country. And now. once
more th press, the pure and principled
press In the United States, Is face to face
with a problem that haa direct relation
with the first principle of human law.
Acknowledging that The Omaha Bee ia
one of those courageoUa sheets that do
not hesitate to condemn an Inhuman act,
therefore, I appeal, through these hum
ble lines to you, dear Bee, to the press
In general, to the clergy, to the laity, and
to the people of Omaha to raise their
mighty voice and demand through the
medium of our beloved president, an Im
mediate cessation ot those heart-rending
butcheries and massacres that the civ
ilised world U aick and tired of wit
nessing. Let ua make our protest
audible not only to tha neutral coun
tries, but to tha kaiser himself, who is
able to stop those atrocities a a friend
and ally of the Turk. These are the last
duy of an old nation that stood th
brunt of Turkish yataghans for centuries,
that gave 60,of of it stalwart eon to
help the ' Auatriana to atop Sultan Pa
till' a mighty army from entering Into
Vienna.
Let us not be Christiana only by nam
and by fancy preachings, but real ones,
ready to rale our voice to aympathlse
and help our fellow men, no matter how
remote they are.
I mphals the fact that no other na
tivr.i upon tha faoe of thla world baa Buf
fered more through the hands of fanatic
and barbarous Turks than this nation of
eld Ararat, who waa once a mighty na
tion. There Is no nation today more In
eed of a aelping and lifting hand than
thla poor, powerless people of the Eu
phrates. I trust that those who nitty happen to
read these few lines, etergy or laity, will
feel an Inner Impulse of that noble feel
ing which stirs our hearts and aoula to
at retch out our hand to our fellow
cteaturea, no matter who they are or
where they are.

OMAHA. Oct IX To the Editor or
Th Bee: I am told that at hi meet
ing on Sunday afternoon. Rev. Dr. W.
A. Sunday told of "one honest saloon
keeper." and recounted .the story of
"tStorpiy" Jordan's s'gn over bis' saloon
st the union depot at Ottumwe, saying
it was "The Road to Hell." Kor the
sake of th truth, I would like to make
a correction.
As a boy 1 played around the union
depot where "Stormy" bad hie place,
and had many a drink at the pump In
Hj barroom. Ills famoua sign waa
painted' on an ordinary opaque a lass
gsa globe, in tetters scarcely larger
than some nowadays Used for news
paper headings, snd read: "The Road
to H." When quitted cn th topic.
"Stormy" invariably answered that hia
questioner might suit himself, and make
11 alt nee "heavatn" ar 'hallv'' "M halna
the Initial of both. i
He hsd another slfcn, equally well !
known to travelers. "fCoso Paint," In 1
modest red letters on a white bask-!
ground. It waa bis custom, when a
patron asked for "a little of the beet
you've got." to set out a glass of water,
accompanying it with advice to stick
t water; If tie customer demurred
"Stormy" would snort: "Well, if you
want whisky why tn hell don't yeu ask
for lit" When a minor lined up In front
of the bar, the word would come acroaa:
"The cow hasn't coma up yet, sonny,
but there's the pump."
Klsy A. Jordan had many admirable
traits aa a man; he waa not a church
member, but both hia lve were (he
married In aueresalon sisters, daughters
of one or the old famine of tb town),
and he dkd a poor nun. Wba lever
els he might tusve been, he was not
In any sense a hypocrite.
