Thought for the Day
5eecreaf by Edith M. Itakton
"Every day it a frtih beginning,
Every morn U a world mmde netc;
T rAo art unary of Borrow and Binning,
Ilrrt i$ a beautiful thought for you."
The administration of Justice In Ttaly Is dif
ferent from our in mors ways than one.
With all these bankers coming to Omaha
for their state meeting", money ought to be
easier.
The pressure of war absorbs most of the
steam behind the customary punch of Italian
justice.
To the humble pastors Is left the task of
keeping the trail hitters keyed up to the taber
racle pitch.
The "Billy" Sunday, fever that has been
seven weeks In the making must not be
pected to subside over night.
In dispensing credit and appreciation for the
.oodneos of the moment let us not overlook how
delightfully the weather man is brightening our
' corner. - V . ...,.. -
Five kings are reported at as many
fronts of Europe, but beyond the reach of
enemy guns. Royalty respects the admonition of
"Safety first,"
Dear, damp and drowsy Venice divides with
London the thrills and terrors of air raids.
Beauty and bulk alike share the modern horrors
of perverted civilization.
It will not take long now to find out
whether Mr. Bryan's pull for prohibition in
Ohio Is any stronger thsn Mr. Wilson's pull for
woman auffrage In New Jersey.
Efficiency experts seeking the most effective
application of the system, make no mistake In
taking oft their hats to "Billy" Sunday and hit
associates. Theirs Is efficiency with a capital E.
Twelve women are burned to death in a fac
tory in Pittsburgh, from which they could not
vecapo after the flames began to get in their
work. How about flretrap factories In other
cities, including Omaha?
A conviction for violating the eight o'clock
law Incurs not only the penalty of a fine, but
. revocation of the license to sell liquor. It fur-
thermore bars the holdor of the license from
securing another license for the next year. "Nuff

An Illinois judge knocks out the antl-hazing
law as unconstitutional. The mere fact that a
college boy was brutally maltreated and his life
endangered byt being ducked in ice-cold water
had no weight with the court. Still the legal pro
fession insist thore is no excuse for applying the
tecall to judges.
"Foxy Jim."
Looking backward over the "Billy" Sunday
rampatfcn In Omaha, the one figure that shines
forth a having made a winning with a lonlng
land In His Honor, Mayor "Jim." At different
time we have called him "Cowboy Jim" and
"Lucky Jim," but now he is entitled to be
called "Foxy Jim." For it Is an opn secrot
tl.at the chief promoters of the Sunday move
ment have been ramplna; on "Jim's" trail for
Many a moon, and that their original Intention
pud desire was to secure "Hilly" for an engage
ment In advance of the city campaign last
rprlnir, and with his help work tip a reform
vave that would Inundate "Jim" and sweep Mm
rr.d his crew out of the city hull. "Billy's"
dates prevented him from coming to Omaha at
that time and deferred his arrival until "Jim"
had been re-elected, but the hope remained that
t'ie enthusiasm for civic righteousness worked
up by Sunday would make "Jim" Its objective
and lay the foundation for his recall.
Dut "Foxy Jim" was In the front row with
' the glad bend" when "Billy" came. He said
Billy" was "great" and "Billy" said "Jim" was
"a good fellow." A detachment of the police
force was Instructed to look after "Billy's" per
sonal safety day and night. The Auditorium,
lust ncqulred by the city, was handed over to
the Sunday revival campaign without charge,
and "Welcome William A. Sunday" blazoned
forth on the electric arch. The conversion of
'Jim" was to be the capsone of the Sunday
campaign, and "Jim" was always Just on the
icrge of "hitting the trail," but never "hit."
Jn the meantime the reform School board drew
the vials of wrath and denunciation of the evan
gelist upon themselves, while "Jim" and the
city hall bunch, whose scalps were what was
really wanted, strengthened their grips on their
Jobs.
So we say "Foxy Jim," since nothing but the
cunning of the fox could have so neatly escaped
the trap.
Secretary Reynolds reports to Chairman
Lilies of the Republican National committee
that there will be upwards of a dozen "favorite

1 Italian Justice.
Omaha folks have a very personal Interest
In the case of Porter Charlton, Just coiivlcted
In an Italian court and sentenced to what
amounts to thirty days in jail for the murder
of his wife, to which deed he confessed. The
end of this case Is scarcely less sensational than
its beginning, and will list it among the re
markable events of the kind in history. Charl
ton set up a plea of emotional insanity as his
defense, and the question of his responsibility
was put squarely to the Jury for determination.
He was found guilty and responsible for his ac
tions, but Italian justice evidently Is not vindic
tive, for the judge Imposed a sentence that Just
covered the time the young man has spent in
confinement, awaiting trial, with twenty-nine
days over. It is well, when commenting on this
case, to keep In mind the number of times per
sons seriously accused have been acquitted in
this country. Local records will show a great
many cases in which an emotional Jury has lib
erated someone held for the killing of & fellow
creature. Human Justice is not an easily de
termined quality, and "earthly power seems
I'.kest God's when mercy seasons Justice."
On the Payment of Bills.
Omaha retailers are about to enter on a plan
for the education of their customers in the
matter of prompt payment of bills. Such a
move, if carried out within reasonable bounds,
will be beneficial to both buyer and seller.
Credit. Is the basis of all business, and on Its
soundness depends the health of trade. There
fore to keep credit sound Is a duty Imposed upon
aU, and it may be fulfilled only by carefully dis
charging all obligations as they come due, or by
making such arrangements aa are mutually sat
isfactory for the extension of the debt. The in
dividual who neglects to pay his bills when due
harms himself most, but everybody some, and is
to that extent abort of the requirements of good
citizenship. The good man Is aa Jealous of his
standing with the retail dealers as he is of any
other element of his life. Credit should not be
come an inducement to extravagance, for WIN
kins Mlcawbcr's recipe for happiness ia as good
now as ever. Careful buying and prompt paying
will keep the wheels of trade whirling in any
community fend will bring growth and pros
perity for all.
Eeponiibility for a Disaster.
Warrants have been sworn out, preparatory
to the prosgentton of the officials' of the paper
box company and the owners of the bulldlug in
.Pittsburgh, wherein a dozen girls lost their
lives through fire that damaged the building.
The public will approve of any steps taken to
fix responsibility and bring to account those who
sre blamable for this deplorable disaster. But
does all the blame rest on the managers of the
company and the owners of the building? Should
rot city offlcera, who permit a feed store on the
street floor and a paper box factory on the upper
floora of an unsafo building, with practically no
means for escape in crse of disaster, such as
happened, bear some share of the responsibility?
I roper inspection and the enforcement of rea
sonable laws would have obviated the combi
nation that made possible the horror. A1J the
facts so far disclosed tend to show neglect on
tho part of somebody In official position, and
h should not be permitted to go scot free.

Thla waa placad at the focus of a curved reflector and
turned toward various walla suspected of producing
echoes. I'slng tho relation that the angle of Incidence
equals the angle of reflection, the reflected aound
waa readily located and the watch ticks heard dis
tinctly after they had traveled a total distance as
great aa eighty feet from the aource. A metronome
enclosed In a sound-proof box served as a louder
source of sound. The aound emerged from the box
only through a long narrow horn which made It poa
alble for the operator to aim at any spot on" the wall J.
The second method utilised an alternating; current
arc light aa a aource of both light and aound. Placed
at the focus of a parabolic reflector a beam of parallel
raya of both light and aound emerged and could be
directed to mirrors placed at auapectcd points. Eye
and ear both helped to detect spots where hangings
or some corrective material should be placed to kill
any particular echo.

Here are some of the reasons why we should do
alt we possibly can to protect animals:
1. They are, humanly speaking, dumb and de
fenseless. t They are especially liable to cruel treatment.
3. They are the victims of science, sport, fashion,
Ignorance and prejudice.
4. There Is so much suffering in thla world that
wo ought to do everything we can to lessen, and not to
Increase It.
6. It Is cowardly and contemptible to cause a liv
ing, sentient creature unnecessary, or avoidable, suf
fering. 6. The animals do as much for ua in so many
waya, ministering to our needa, that they earn ex
emption for their various racea from cruelty, aufferlnt;
and Ill-treatment.
7. Pol fish and callous disregard of their rights can
only react disastrously upon tha moral nature of the
human family, and make other similar evils appear
excusable. It Is a ahort atep from cruelty to animals
to cruelty to human beings. The parents who train
their children to be kind, considerate and thoughtful
for the animals are laying up treasures which they
themselves will reap when those children aro
grown up.

Trades tnlona Llqaor Question.
OMAHA, Oct. JB.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Since events have forced the llqjor
question upon the trades unionists of this
city and elsewhere, I am positive that the
appended editorial frbin the columns of
the American Pressman for October ex
presaea the sentiment of a large majority
of trades unionists those who Joined
the tradca union rank for the purpose
of securing more wanes, shorter houra
arid better working conditions and ask
yoJ, in their behalf, to give space In your
columns for Its republication:
The liquor problem Is looming as one
of the great questions of the preeent day,
and few organizations are free from Its
influence. It is even becoming a bone of
contention In the labor movement. .-tate
federations, city central labor bodies, lo
cal unioiiH and even international unions
are dlsciiKglng this qucauon ami paasint;
resolutions. The "wots" and "drys" are
lining up in many of our organliatlons
and are fighting for control.
The whole thing depends on the answer
to two questions: First, can a man be
a true unionist and advocate the license
system as now constituted? Second, can a
man be a true unionist and advocate
prohibition?
If both of then questions can bo an
swered in the affirmative, then the liquor
question has no place In the labor move
ment Many true trade unionists believe that
the license system Is the best way to
control the liquor business, and many
others, however, believe that alcoholic
liquors are a curso, and, therefore, they
favor prohibition. Many sincere mcm
liers of organized labor favor taking a
stand In favor of the liquor interests be
cause so many of our fellow workers In
the movement are ensaged in the manu
facture of liquor. Their position is no
better grounded than Is that of one who
would force Christianity on the labor
movement because some of our members
are engaged In printing Bibles.
The labor movement has enough battles
to fight and enough work to do without
being harnessed to either the wet or dry
wagon. The thing for the anti-saloon
leaKUes, personal liberty leagues and
kindred orKBnlzatlons to do Is to make
their appeals to the individual and not
sow distention by Injecting their propa
ganda Into tho labor movement.
If the saloon advocates can by appeal
ing to the individual convert every mem
ber of organised labor to their cause all
well and good, but let their movement rest
on its own bottom. We ahotild not per
mit them to divide our organization on
any question foreign to it. The same
appliea to the prohibitionists.
The labor problem will bo with us
whether we have saloons or not, so let
tis keep our movement free from any
alliances that will tend to create dissen
sion and hamper Its effectiveness.

THE WASHERWOMAN'S SONG.
Eugene Ware ("Ironqulll ")
In a very humble cot.
In a rather quiet spot.
In the suds and in the sonp.
Worked a woman full of hope;
Working, singing, nil alone.
In a sort of undertone,
"With a Saviour for a friend.
He will keep me to the end."
Sometimes happening along,
I had heard the semi-song,
And I often used to aniile.
More In sympathy than guile;
Hut 1 nver said a word
In regard to what I heard
As she sang about her Friend,
Who would keep her to tho end.
Not In sorrow, nnr In glee.
Working all day long waa she.
As her children, three or four.
Played around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She waa humming all day long,
"With a Saviour for a friend.
He will keep me to the end."
It's a song I do not sing,
For I scarce believe a thing
Of the stories that are told
Of the miracles of old:
But I know that her belief
Is the nnodyne of grief.
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she.
Just as poor as poor could be,
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes.
And though widowed and alone.
Cheered her with the monotone
Of a Saviour and a friend.
Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her 'rub and scrub.
On the washboard In the tub,
While the baby, sopped in suds.
Rolled and tumbled In the duds;
Or was paddling in the pools
With old sclssora stuck In spools,
She still humming of her Friend,
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds.
Have their root In human needs;
And I would not wUh to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
And hone that songs can bring:
For the woman hss a Friend,
Who will kee her to the end.
