Warden Fenton has secured permission to

The late Kelr Hardy dreamed the large
dream that the down-trodden masses of Europe
could be welded together tor world peace ana
thir own betterment. But he did not take Into
account the rooted power of race division, the
chief buttress of royalty and aristocracy, ana
llvad to see bis dream submerged In the cat a
elysm'ot war. His vision was too large for
his age.
The PTtsidfnt'i Naval Program.
IrHldent Wllnon has announced bis Intpn
on of mibmlttlng to congress a naval program
.f surh ambitious proportions as will make the
nitod Plates M-cond only, and eloae In rank, to
rngland as a power. Proposed purely as a
defensive measure, the plan Is not only suf-
iclently comprehensive to r-atlsfy the most
lamorous advocates of naval preparedness, but
a complete reversal of the attitude of the ad nil fi
ltration of last prln. when the president and
his advisors were against all naval expansion.
It Is certain that tho naval program will en
counter determined opposition In both branches
cf congress, for a considerable proportion of
the people are still unconvinced of the necessity
for so great an enlargement of our sea-flght-Ing
ability. A coalition between this element of
lie republican and democratic membership In
both housos will form a group of really formld
rble strength, which will have the support of a
jrge body of anti-militant citlacns sincerely
.'oubtful of the service of elaborate fighting
fctrength aa a means to the preservation of
peace. The nryanltea in congress and out of
onrress will surcjy be against the plan, and It
s likely to be further complicated by the per
sistence of Secretary McAdoo In pushing for
ward the merchant marine shipping bill, which
held up all legislation for so long last spring.
This much Is rertaln, the coming session ot
on gross will be largely taken up with questions
cf preparedness on both land and sea.
The Street Fair's Death Knell.
While nearly everybody able to express an
tnblasod view Is applauding The Bee for boldly
voicing the demand that the street fair be cut
out of future Ak-Sar-Hen programs, some mem
bers of the board of governors seem still indis
posed to barken on the gTound that they "need
the money." It Is suggested that perhaps the
shows could be Improved, or a better class of
shows secured by negotiating directly Instead of
with a combination carnival company or by add-
ng local talent, as if this would answer all ob
jections.
This sort of talk rnlsses the whole point, for
the rising tide of Indignation is not directed
particularly at the "cheap-John" shows put on,
but at the whole street fair business, which is
a discredit to Ak-Sar-Ben, and out of tune with
a progressive metropolitan city like Omaha. It
s the demoralizing atmosphere, the gross rowdy
ism, the undisguised gambling games, and the
sure-thing grafters that have sounded the death
knell of the street fair as a place of amusement
to be tolerated by any decent community. The
sooner all concerned wake up to this fact, and
ret accordingly, the better.

Morehead, the Money and the Law.
As a member ot the Nebraska legislature
John If. Morehead helped to enact the Gerdes
law, which requires that all fees collected by any
officer ot the state of Nebraska be paid into
the state treasury, from whence they can only
bo taken by due process of law.
As governor of the state of Nebraska John
If. Morehead tells one of It officers to take
money be collects as such officer and ap
propriate It to the payment of bis salary and ex
penses, without regard to the law.
Governor Morehead knows that his action la
illegal. . - '
Governor Morehead baa threatened' to bring
action against the state treasurer, accusing blm
of misconduct In office that, If proven 'should
warrant his removal. But he haa not yet gotten
beyond threats.
Governor Morehead evidently does not very
highly regard the laws be has solemnly sworn
to uphold and enforce.
What do the people of Nebraska think
tbout It?
Co-Operation in Foreign Selling:.
Locomotive makers are the latest group to
approach the Federal Trade commission for per
mission to unite their interests and efforts In
the work of securing foreign trade. They point
out, as have other groups of manufacturers, the
difficulties encountered in undertaking to act
as individuals, particularly the opposition that
Is natural from foreign competitors who arj
permitted to act Jointly. The logic of the case
ts apparent; the objection to It Ilea chiefly in
the tact that co-operation in the foreign field
will lead to similar action In domestic markets,
and thus the carefully erected structure of anti
trust legislation will be nullified. But It Is
rlaln that If our manufacturers are to make
headway In outside markets, they must bav
something like an equal start with their compe
titors. Co-opera tlon may be the secret of the
process that Is to give us control. At any rate,
It seems to be most ardently desired by most
of the concerns that are In posftlon to enter the
field of world' commerce.
By-Product of "Civilization's War."
More and more Is the world outside the
artna being imprasaed with the awful terror of
the awful conflict that haa engulfed the natlona
of Europe. Just now It la not so much the
waste of life and property that engages thought,
stupefying and Incomprehensible as the totals
ere. Individual life must terminate eventually,
end the dead are through with the world; wealth
destroyed may ultimately be replaced by other
wealth, to be created by new generations, who
will endure the poverty that Is to be the heritage
cf this debauch of destruction. But, 2.000,000
ncn, already bereft of one or another ot their
limbs, are to be taught how to carry on the
productive work ot the clvlllxatlon under which
they have been maimed, while others, bereft ot
fi-cultlea, are to be trained If poaalble to some
sort of usefulness. Thus war casta back crip
rles and deficients on which to build the future
of the nations that only a few months ago were
leaders in enlightenment!

Inchea a steady stream of pure air enter, the room,
and there la no draft.
Neree make the mistake of thinking that cold air
la pure air. If you sleep In a room without heat. A
tlRhtly closed1 cold room will rob your blood of oxy
gen the same a. a tightly closed warm one. Often
person, whose bedroom, are .mall do not open their
windows beoauae they do not want to Bleep in an icy
wind. That, of course, would not be pleasant nor I.
It necessary. A blanket thrown over the back. 6f two
chairs and put near the window will aerve a. a wind
break; or tack aome light-weight cloth over a screen
and put It In tha window and you will have plenty of
pure air circulating In the room without blowing di
rectly on the bed. Although a cold room Is the Ideal
sleeping plaoa K la a waste of vitality to get Into n
cold bed and try to warm It with the heat from tho
body. Put a hot-water bag or aoap.tone Into the bed
ong enough before retiring to make mattress and
clothes warm. Thla is especially eaaentlal for children.
Second-hand air la far worse than a aecond-hand
toothbru.h, yet many person, who would be horrified
at the use of the latter are willing to Inhale tha air
exhaled from other people's lunga.
Tha importance of good ventilation where aoveral
people are sitting cannot be overemphasized. In pro
viding air remember that if two gas Jets are burning
they are consuming aa much good air aa four pernor!;
and ona kerosene lamp con.umea the same amount.
A lamp left with the flame turned down afd. very
much to tha Impurity of the air because of Imperfect
combustion. If you use a gaa dropllght and' will re
move the tubing for a test, you readily see' from the.
odor of gna which eacapea how necessary It I. to take
It down frequently and air It.
Householders seldom know that thai r.n. . -
tha to rehouse, from whence come. 60 per cent of
tho air of the flrat floor and SO per cent of that on
the floor above. If they did there would not be o
many dank and noisome placea filled with refuse and
mold, spiders, oobwebs, and mice, to aay nothing of
decayed vegetable, and fruits. Vapors from all the.0
combine to penetrate the whole house and add their
poison to the air that Is breathed by those living abovo
them. Every cellar, even If kept free from dirt, should
be ventilated as carefully In winter aa In summer. A
mu.ty smell shows that mold nlini. .r. ' .
are waiting to attack fruit and vegetables. Oold will
uoi ju ineae Destructive' germs. There .hould be
plenty of air let In the cellar every clear day. Moisture-laden

Tha dry atmosphere acts aa a stimulant to tha ner
vous system. Sleep is restless and broken. The
change from too dry air of the house to the moist
air of outdoors causes colds.
An Important part of winter ventilation Is often
overlooked, that of personal ventilation, lour clothes,
your hair, your teeth, all play their part In fouling
the air Indoor, by tha odors which emanate from them
when not properly cared for. Woolen clothing par
ticularly absorbs and retain emanations from tho
body and when not In use .hould always be hum?
where they will get sun and air; never In a dark,
tuffy closet. Remember that your closets need tho
air and should have tha doors left open, if you u.
not want the air of other room vitiated every tlmo

convicted of defrauding the government of

the lost revenue, but It convinced the victims

OMAHA. Oct. IX To the Editor of Tb
Bee: Tour crttldrm of the Literary Di
gest's editorial "What Amrrica Think
of Vote, for Women," Is much to the
point, but doe. not expose all of the fal
lacious cciuiuslons reached by the Digest
as a result of the poll ot the press it has
tnhon.
It ha. sent Inquiries to l.KW pipers In
the Vnlted Btate. and then calls $'1 sf
flrmativ replies (In favor of woman suf
frage) an "overwhelming majority." It
skips over "the half thousand wVio did
not reply as representing the large fac
tlor of the people who view the subject
with Indifference." The tame with the
question asked In restard to communities,
which produced only ZXl favorable re
plies out of l.oro.
The 472 by making no replies certainly
cannot be reasonably counted a. favor
able to woman suffrage; in fact, it can
be safely assumed from past experience
that all those favorable to any move
ment., or leiues, are ever ready to rush
Into print and would not have missed
this oportunlty to send in an affirmative
reply. It I much more reasonable to sup
pose that they were opposed, ever. If only
mildly so, but for some reaaon or other
did not care to go on record.
Of the communities answering 237 were
favorable, 133 urrrtecldcd and 156 ncgntlv
and 474 made no answer. Adding the un
decided 138 to tha latter would show iW7
undecided and 1M negative, a agalnxt
only 237 favorable.
Tn this connection It Is also a aucatlon
to what extent does editorial opinion rep
resent or reflect public opinion.
The Literary Digest Intends or attempt
to publish a review of the press of tha
Vnlted 8tates on Important subject and
professes rather to be neutral, L e., to
give both sides of those qeustlons. It
may be noted, however, that It ts toot
free from bias, because It plainly gives
more space to whichever aide It hap
pcta to favor. Whether that Is by design
or unconsciously may be open for dis
cussion, but tb effect of It Is to create
a wrong Impresplon, tending to boost th
favored cause. AN ANTI-SUFFRAGIST.

It remind me of tha early daya on tha

tion day came only once a year.
Aa aoon as the poll were open at Kim
ball and all hand had voted, Road
master McGregor started east with th
work train and the gang. They arrived
at North Platte before the poll closed
and In time to vote, having voted th
gang at every polling place from Kim
ball, to North Platte.

.SOUTH SIDE. OMAHA. Oct. 13,-To
the Editor of The Bee: A a continuous
customer of the express companies doing
business In the old city of South Omaha,
now called the South Bide by most Of
us, I want to urge those - who are In
terested to write letters at once to tha
Mebraska State Railway commission at
Lincoln and urge them to request th
exprea oompanle. to extend their pres
ent sone of business in thlk part of
Omaha.
The express companies now have a dls
trlst, I have been Informed, that extend
north of M street to L street, from
Twenty-seventh street west to Thirty
third street, and east of twenty-seventh
street north to I street, east to Twentieth
street, south to Q street and west to 83d
street. Oneslde of this very limited dis
trict we have to do the best we can to
get our express packagea frm th com
panies or ship by them.
The express companies deliver goods
much further from their offices In Omaha
proper and there I no reason why they
Should not deliver much further away tn
this section. On express agent told me
to.iay that he hope the state railway
commission will compel them to get and
deliver article all over th part that was
South Omaha. I have written the Stat
Railway commission and aucgested a
district as follows: From M street north
to I street, west of Twenty-seventh
street, and to A street, east of Twenty
seventh street, ea.t to Thirteenth atreet,
south to Madison street, and west to
Thlrty-nlhth street. That district would
reach tha sections where the most busi
ness would come from and to the ex
press companies.
T believe th companies will extend tha
district on the request of those who are
Interested, without being compelled to do
so. The present district Include, the
packing house district and a part of th
business district and a very small resi
dence part. Under the plan suggested
by m many more people will be reached
to their benefit, a well a to th benefit
of the exprea companle.

throw It up to Mauna Loa for being a
dead one.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Tuan Shi
Kal's attitude on th question of the res
toration of the monarchy In China seem
to be about this: I am a democrat and
believe In th rule of th people. IX th
people want a monarchy, and want ma
as their monarch, pass along the crown.
Springfield Republican: In forcing the
resignation of Consul St. John Gaffney at
Munich for violent public manifestation
of pro-German sympathies and discour
tesies to people not quite of his way of
thinking, the Wilson administration prob
ably draws cuss word from some ether
quarter.
Baltimore American: A Belgian woman
and her son, people of social prominence,
have been jailed for singing the Belgian
national hymn within their own doors.
Evidently th conqueror of Belgium hav
not yet learned that th surest way to
emphasise resistance in th conquered la
to make martyrs of them. It la also the
quickest way to enlist for them th
sympathy r ' the outside world, with a
correspond feeling against the rule
which will descend to such petty tyranny.
Philadelphia Record: In the decision
declaring tha "Movie Trust" a monopoly,
the reason pro and con are stated with
admirable Impartiality. A patentee, hav
ing exclusive rights of sale, controls and,
tn that sense, monopolizes the trade In
the patented article. It ia wrong, however,
by any illegal restraint of trade, to
monopolize it. "On the ona hand," says
the court, "It cannot hav been the In
tent to make it unlawful to acquire th
right which the law has conferred; on
the other hand, it cannot be that tha
grant ot a patent right confers a license
to do that which the law condemns."
Jack Bunsby never parted an opinion In
the middle with greater accuracy.

A CERTAIN DUTY
YOU OWE YOURSELF
Build Up That R on-Down De
bilitated System and Enjoy
Good Health.
Tou owe yourself a duty, and that Is,
after you hav overtaxed th vital organs
to such an extent that they hav become .
weak and almost exhausted, you should
by all means take something which will ,
help them to perform their dally work.
A something la needed, and that some
thing ha been found, that will Invigor
ate and give them renewed strength to
perform tha dutie expected of them. Tou
go on day after day, weakening your sys
tems through mental or physical exer
tion, and when you are all in, debilitated
and almost too weak and worn-out to do
anything, instead of taking something
which will glv you renewed vigor and
strength, you drag through your work
thinking this condition will wear off, only
to weaken your already weakened sys-
tern.
