Mexico is now about to be brought to a re alising understanding of what the five years of disorder, from which she la now emerging, have tost her. European governments are withhold Idk recognition of Carrania, waiting for assur ance that he will arranre for the settlement of flnmagn claims. These are certain to be enor mous, and tho 1'nlted States Is also Interested in the point, for the Mexicans showed no favor itism in their seizure and destruction of prop erty. Many millions of dollars' worth of private r-ropfrty. owned by foreigners, was stolen or de stroyed by the Irreaponslble bandit, posing as arnilc ?, for which the government of Mexico must become responsible. This means a very pretty penny for the Mexicans to pay, but settlement day always comes, and this one may be enough li keep the Impulsive descendants of the Monte xumas and the Conqulstadores in sober employ ment for some years to come. Stock Market Augury. The Greek oracles and the Roman soothsay ers were nccustonied to give whomsoever con sulted them answers sufficiently vague or In definite or conditioned that they could cover al trost anything that might transpire. We have no more Greek oracles or Roman soothsayers in this enlightened age. but we still have "Tom" I.awson with us to tell us how to play the stock market, and yet to impart the knowledge so that win or lose, the prophet will be fully vindicated. Consider for a moment this piece of characteris tic language from one of Lawson's latest pro- t.ouncements of advice furnished to the get-rich-qulck public at his own expense: I have rld'lrn all the stork booms alnea the early 70. acld-trstlnif their eaunea and effects, kodaking their minutiae and rcel-photoInK earh boom for future movies, and. recalling the long line of boom and collnpnea, I am qualified to aay that the pres ent on must run Ua rourae, and the devil take the lame, the halt and the wayalde. loiterer. For the present boom'a reagenta are auch that when Ita day comrs It will be with us In the morning In all Ita virile, chameleonlzlng radiancy, and In the evening Ha shadow will be all that remalna of Ita corpae. This 1916 boom, while Ita lasts, will be a record breaker; when Ita collapse comes, it, too, will be a record-breaker. Whoever la confident that war atocka will keep up should get aboard this boom, for all who get aboard will be assured enormous profits, provided war atocka stay up. I want to pln-cllnch this: I don't say war stocks will not stay up. I say only that there la a boom on and that It will laat with Increasing fury whlie war atocka do stay up. There you have It! Now you see it and now you don't. If you believe war stocks are going up, buy them; If you believe war stocks are go ing to collapse, sell them; If yon don't know nythlng about It, keep out. Whatever you do, "Tom" will tell you that you are gambling on your own Judgment if you lose, and on his If you win. The Case of Nurse Carell. . The execution by the German military au thorities at Brussels of Miss Edith Cavell, an Englishwoman, on a charge of espionage is at tracting much attention Just now, because of some of the unusual circumstances in connec tion with it. It is a regrettable Incident of the varfare, and of chief concern on this side be cause of the part the American minister played in it. Mr. Whltlock appears to have done all In his power to secure mitigation of the death sen tence, but without success. Germany deals with persons accused of espionage in a summary way, and makes no distinction between sexes. Miss Cavell had admitted even more than was proved against her; she placed herself within the ap plication of the military law, and paid the pen alty a law which Is no more German than it Is British. This law can relax, though, as witness the pardon by the kaiser of two prominent women and a number of other Belgian prison ers, condemned to death for offenses similar to that of Miss Cavell, showing he is still, acces sible toi Intercessors come to plead for mercy to prisoners. - - Good Job Well Bgnn. The Lake Mohonk conference on Indians and other dependent peoples finds that the spelling book has followed the flag into the Philippines. Fifteen years after the occupation of the islands' by the United Rtates, 4,300 schools, manned by 10.000 teachers, are' training 600,000 Filipino youngsters, giving them education and fitting them for responsible life In a way never dreamed of until the Americans succeeded the Spanish in control of the islands. And this with the pledge of this government that our occupancy of the it lands Is not permanent. Frederick W. Taylor, formerly minister of agriculture in the Islands, says that measures should be taken to provide for the future of the new-made Filipino. Education awakens him to a better way of living, to more ambitious tastes. uud he must be shown how to secure the wealth that will enable him to gratify these tastes. This will not bo a difficult task, if the natural re aourcns of the archipelago are as extensive as reported. The Filipino will readily learn how to turn ols opportunities into money, wherewith to create newer and greater opportuntles, fol lowing tho beneflclent circle as sedulously as does his white brother. Uncle Sam Is well begun on a good Job, and tho world must admire his skill and patience in dealing with It, as well as admit how much better off are the people of that previously neg lected section than they would have been, had we followed Mr. Bryan's advice and turned them loose to remain in tne condition In which we found tbciu. Common Sense vs. Prudery Xr. Woods Xatchlssom. ' OUR proutleat boast la that we aro clvlllaed. but In certain enrnera of our mind we are atlll aavace pure savage. We have outgrown the totem and the tom-tom, but we atlll cower under the tyranny of the taboo. There are etill certain thlnnre which It la forbidden to mentlnn. whose existence may not t officially reconnlied. whoae namea are not allowed to appear In public. A funny Jumble thry are, from the Ineffable namea of the gods, nhlih muat not be taken In vain, and the bad luck, which munt not be mentioned for fear 'f hrlnclng It upon ua, to the social evil and comfort atatlon which even In thla twentieth century we dure not call by their right namea. How fearfully binding atlll la the taboo Inl.l upon ua by our I'urltan ancextora baa been vividly llluatratci In the addrcas of tho president of the American Tubllc Health aaaoclatlon, I'rof. rv-dgwlck. at tho recent annual meeting in Horhceter. Ilia addreea dealt with our aanltary succeaaea and failures. High up on the lmt of the latter he place-! the titter Inadequacy and Insufficient auprly of com fort stationa In our large cities. Aa an Illuminating Illustration he rltcd the fact that a New Englnnd city i.f over liO.OOO population had Juat held a public demonstration to celebrate the opening of Ita first and only comfort station secured after ten yeirs of determined effort on the part of the health authorities! Judging by past experience It will now protably rest on Ita laurels for another tan years, pointing proudly to the eatabllahment as an answer to all complaint and making It one of the ahow placea of the town for country vlsltora, like the court houre and the new Jail, Inatead of proceeding to add at the Uaat ten. or better, twenty, such con veniences, wh'ch Ita population demanda for the pub lic health and comfrrt. That Is the worst of a taboo; the evil which you are not permitted to mention or discuss la timrt-pon treated aa If It did not exist. Which anmehow doe a not seem to discourage It in the least. Maludiea apreud by Insanitary or Immoral per sonal habits attack the modeat Juat as frequently as the Immodest, the Innocent as viciously as the guilty; but what does all that matter ao long as e. have preserved, unaullled, our propriety and our prudery? The argument In favor of an abundant supply of comfort stations In our tuwns and cities are a) obvious, so unanswerable that It la scarcely necessary to more than mention them. Not only are all public health experts, annltarlans, physicians and organisa tions for the protection of children, of women In In- duatry and of workers generally unanlmoua In de manding them, but practically every Intelligent human being who has considered the matter dispassionately for five mlnutee, la convinced of their desirability. Hut and then the excuaea begin for not bulldijig them. Perfect refinement of both speech and behavior nd absolute correctnees of conduct are highly desir able, but there Is no sense In their blinding Us to, nor la their actual attainment In the slightest degree hin dered by the frank recognition of, the fact that every living human being baa certain Imperative physical needs which must be met, on an average, every two or four houra. If these demanda are not properly and ade quately met the result will be grave discomfort and risk of permanent Injury to the Individual and aerlous Increase of the chances for the spread of disease throughout the community. The discomfort and Injury to the Individual need no proof. One's own personal experiences and fre quent first-hand observations of the distress, an noyance and" embarraasmcnt of others la overwhelm ingly sufficient The strait J and humiliations to which all sorts of Individuals are put by the lack of these fundamental necessities of decency and health, particularly strangers In the city, women of nervous temperament and young children, or those who have the care of them, are simply abominable both. In their c'iucm:jr biiu in lonr menace to neaitn and comfort. in fact, we would not tolerate such an amount of ufferlng. discomfort snd menace to health for a mo ment In any other field of human activity. Not only la the mental distress and moral humiliation bad enough In Itself to demand Immediate relief by so simple and easy a means, but there Is serious risk; of miia and temporary Irritations being goaded Into se rious chronic dlaeaaes, to say nothing of laying the foundations for a retention of oolaonoua ! tn tha system which may lead to grave and lasting forms of blood poisoning, and auto-lntoxicatlon. 4- ' The community la af last getting ashamed mt Ma foolish prudery and stinginess and beginning to de- mana mat mere shall be abundance of theae neces sities of life provided, so that ho one need to be com pelled u go morethan two or three blocks to flud one, Instead of, as It now happens In some of our most famous and beautiful city parks, half or three. quarters of a mile.

Oct .-To the Editor of The Bee; In the last month there have been thirty cases of highway robbery, forty burglaries, fifteen cases of pocket-rlcklng and as many of sneak thievery In our city. To crown these glorious achieve ments a good and honest cltlxcn of our r.eighbor city was shot down In cold blood on our streets, and his young woman companion waa drnajged for a mile through or residential district and sub jected to the most unspeakable Indignities. What aro the police going to do about It? What can 1 men. divided Into three shifts, half of whom are not patrolmen, do against a condition of this kind? One of two facta is true either the police force Is not numerically adequate to cope with the situation, br Its superior officers are lamentably Incompetent. I am In clined toward the former beller, and have a few atiggestlons to offer. The night shift of the Omaha fire de partment are permitted to sleep while on duty. This gives them six months' vaca tion In evcrv vear. Why not make a day police force out of these men and have them do the work now- being done by the regular day pollen? Such an ar rangement would give the present day for-e an opportunity to properly patrol the street at night, and that la the time thev are most needed. It would more than double the police protection. Will anyone pretend that such an ar rangement would be unfair? There are enough city firemen to make two shifts of six hours each for day police duty, and since their only duty at night Is to sleep and answer an occasional bell, there Is no good reason why they should not con sent to render this service to the city. If this scheme would fall the only solu tion would be to select volunteer citizens to patrol the streets at night. Something must be done. These crooks and mur derers should be dragged to Jurtlce. K. M. WAYMOHE. Definition of a Kooeker. OMAHA, Oct. 21 To the Editor of Tho Bee: Hero Is the difference between a knocker and a booster (author unknown): "When the Creator had made all tho good things, there waa still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous Insects, and when He had finished. He had some scraps that were- too bad to put into tho rattle snake, the hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, so He put all these together, cov ered It with suspicion, wrapped It with Jealousy, marked It with a yellow streak and called It a knocker. "This product was so fearful to contem plate that He had to make something to counteract It, so He took a sunbeam and put In the heart of a child, the brain of a man, wrapped these in clvlo pride, cov ered H with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel and called It a booster; made him a lover of fields and flowers and many sports, a be liever in equality and Justice, and ever since these two were, mortal man has had tha privilege of choosing his asso ciates."!

Coming on the heels of Governor Morehead's frost for a fatherly holiday, the second knock v. iriie home patriots to unllmber their hammers and reciprocate in kind. Eternal vigilance is the price of matrimonial supremacy. On the morning of tbe fateful day, ex-Gov ernor Fort of New Jemey publicly predicted that "the women will win their fight by over 40.000."

TEKAMAH, Neb., Oct 22,-To the Ed itor of Tho Bee: Having read so many unjust criticisms of "Billy" Bunday in the papers I can no longer keep allent These critics say that "Billy" ridicules everybody's religion but his own. Why shouldn't he? There Is but on true re ligion, and that Is plainly and fearlessly set forth by Mr. Sunday. All others are false.

C, Oct. 20.-Tq the Editor of The Bee: The American Red Cross Is receiving many urgent appeals from Europe for hospital supplies. From the American Relief clearing house, Paris. Mr. H. O. Beatty, the director gen eral writes: "I think It will not be amiss to call to your attention tho present situation In hospitals, in view of the coming winter campaign. Tbe hospitals that have bene fited ao largely through the generosity Of the American Red Cross are beginning to find themselves in a condition of real want for tho common necessities. The de mand for sheets, pillow cases and shirts la greater than aver. This Is due to the fact of hard usage, and we ahould like to ask you to let us have as much of a supply as possible. The hospital organ isations aro much better than they were last winter, when in process of formation. The supplies, however, hava been used up, and we make as strong on appeal as possible to your generosity for tho com mon articles that I have mentioned. We have a never-ending list of applications also for absorbent ootton, cotton batting and gause. Of theae we can never have enough. Chloroform and Iodine, of course. aro first neoessltlea. May I ask that you let ua have aa much of theae supplies as your resources will permit." General von Pfuel, president of the Ger man Rod Cross, writes to the American Red Cross, asking it to express great gratitude to all those who have gener ously contributed to the needs of the German society. He reports: "Hospital garments and hospital bed linen would be very welcome. Also all surgical dressings, absorbent cotton. gauxe and bandages of all sorts, and es pecially those three or four inches broad we can use to great advantage." Aa Mere has been a mistaken llea that the American Red Cross has ceased send ing supplies to Europe, I writs to say that we are shipping weekly large quan tltUa of suppllea to the varioua countries Involved 1 In tho war. and, with the as sistance of the public, will continue to do ao, Clreulara stating what articles aro most needed will be supplied on applica tion to the American Red Croaa, Wash ington.

MABEL, t BOA RDM AN. Defeat f Raffraae tit Blew Jersey. POVTH BIDE, OMAHA, Oct 21 To the Editor of The Bee: It .ke to me as If the overwhelming defeat of the woman suffrage question In New Jerey caa bo taken to indicate two thlnsa. The llrst thing It In. Urates Is that the men of the Vnlted Statea are not yet lea.y to turn the affairs of the country over to a lot of maiden ladies of the Miss Anna Shaw variety, who have nothing else to do ex cept to agitate the euffraKe question 10 much that men get tired of it and will not vote for It since they hsve recoered from the hysterical Roosevelt spell that came over so many In the campaign of 1912, and If the people of Illinois had a chance to vote on the Issue tod iy they would overwhelm suffrage worse than It was beaten In New Jersey this week. Puffrage was forced upon the people of Illinois by a trick, for it would never have carried by vote of the men of that state. New Jersey had tried woman suf frage once and got tired of it and did not want to try the same experiment over aguln. Another thing shown by the vote in New Jersey Is that It is really a slap In the face for President Wilson and points tho way to the overwhelming defeat that awaits him If he runs In 191C again. If there Is even a reasonable reunion of the republican forces In 1916 and a man of the type of Burton of Ohio or of Sher man of Illinois, or of Fairbanks of Indi ana Is nominated, the defeat of Wilson Is assured aa soon aa their names are placed before the people. The administration of Wilson has had every chance to make good, but aa la the case always, the democratic party has failed to benefit the people of this coun try, as Is shown by the reports that mil lions of men are out of employment to day, that people are hungry In the midst of the greatest crops in the his tory of the nation, in face of the fact that the exports of this) country of grain and other products has been greater than in any year of our history, yet the treasury of the United States is empty. the surplus left by the republican party having grown into a deficit, as waa the case under Orover Cleveland, and an Issue of bonds Is now contemplated by reason of democratic mismanagement Democratic papers may make all the fuss they want to about republicans being calamity howlers, yet the fact remains that they are the ones to blame for the present condition of financial affairs in this country today, when the cost of liv ing has not decreased and when a war tax Is Inflicted upon tie m times of peace. They are trying to divert the attention of people from the hard times to a huge Increase of the army and navy, which is In direct opposition to the peace pro posals of the Wilson administration one year ago. Wilson, by his premature love affair and his sudden change of heart for woman suffrage, has changed tho senti ment of people from him so that If the presidential election should bo held this year, he would be beaten nearly aa badly aa he beat Taft in 1V12. Even Toft today could beat him so badly that he would hardly know ho was running. By Judi cious management the republican party will regain power by an overwhelming sweep in 1916 and the good old republican times will be upon us again within the next eighteen months. P. A. AONBW.
