Free htgtl Aid Bureau..
One of tba moat practical moves the newly
Mtabllsbed Welfare board haa undertaken is
to provide the free legal aid bureau. ThU la
Intended to give service to that claat of citi
zens who have not the means to otherwise
secure advice or assistance that may be rltal
to them. Much abuse has been borne, par
ticularly by the working people, because of
lack of definite Information as to legal rights
or as to the requirements of the law. The ew
bureau Is Intended to meet this need, ana to
overcome as far as possible Impositions now
suffered by reason of Ignorance of the law.
In this regard the office Is of far more Im
portance than that of public defender, 'create
hv the last legislature. Persons accused T
crime are always looked after ao far aa defense
Is concerned, but the poor man who Is threat
ened with a civil suit has frequently no re
course but to submit rather than be forced to
the added expense of court costs. It Is now
possible for him to get Information as to
what his rights are, and what course he must
pursue to protect himself without going to a
lawyer whose fee he could Illy afford to pay.
The free legsl aid bureau will not, as w
understand It, take cases Into court, but It will
be of great value because of tbs assistance it
tan render to those who need It most In the
way of guidance and direction a to how to
keep ont of court.

of tha live stock Industry, to which at least a
part of their future efforts will contribute.
This Is hut a part of tha eouree that Is making
high-grade farmers, into whose hands the
agriculture of the state will eventually pass. It
Is tha close association of tha science with tha
practice of farming that Is being taught at
this school and tha state has already bad im
mense benefit therefrom, and will receive It la
even greater measure aa time goes on. The
scientific farmer is tha man of tha future, and
Nebraska Is raising that kind.

and th way Is now cleared for tha paasage
of makeshift measures dealing with tha na
tional defense and the Philippines. Th late
secretary of war stood firmly, even against
th president, for plans that would efficiently
meet th needs of the country, and against th
Injustice proposed to be foisted on th Fili
pinos. He was unable to withstand the craft of
tha politicians In and out of congress, who ar
looking for partisan advantage, rather than to
perform a patriotic gervloo.
Mr. Wilson, facing a foregone renomlna-
tlon. Is apparently willing to temporise with
the greatest issue that has arisen during his
term of office, and will acquiesce In any sort
of expedient that may at this Urns aav his
face, and net tha final settlement over to b
dealt with by Ma successor. The court now
being pursued Is characteristic of th demo
cratic party, which haa never shown capacity
for properly handling big things, but always
patches up a compromise that does not remedy
the situation.
In one regard only ar the democrats de
pendably consistent, and that Is their record
for blundering.
Domestio Life in War Timet.
Eighteen months of participation in stu
pendous war has bad a sobering ellect on th
belligerents, which Is now being reflected in
th domestic life of the peoples Involved, It
stories that come across the water are to be
believed. Carelessness and indifference have
given way to soberer ind more seemly con
duct, and a consquent Improvement in per
sonal habits and conduct has followed. From
Englsnd comes the testimony of a school
teacher that never were the children under
her charge ao well looked after as today; they
coma to school cleanly and tidy. In appearance,
and conduct themselves with a decorum nn
known before. ThU teacher holds that since
the wives and mothers of England have acta
ally become responsible for the management
of the homes, they are more earnest In th
pursuit of those duties that fall to the lot of
to housewife. From Germany similar reports
are heard, and it may be taken that this Is in
some measure true of th domestic life In all
countries. Th presence of great national
danger haa turned th popular mind to the
more serious contemplation of mundane
things, and better ways of living naturally
follow. It is not especially aa occasion for
pride that audi a dreadful shaking up was
needed to stir man to more worthy efforts,
but It will b accepted as proof that hit sodden
condition was not .hopeless.

OMAHA. Feb. lL-To the Editor of The
Bee: Anent this topic of cigarette smok
ing In the public dining rooms of one of
out hotels, which is just now a popular
society fad.
Tha management of this hostelry ia
quits right In prohibiting a harmless In
dulgence which, te the mlrHe class of
the middle west, la most unnsiial.
I think, though, If tha Individual so
shocked at the publicity of a dainty,
gold-tipped cigarette, held gracefully and
prettily between the wall manicured
fingers of a refined feminine hand, would
or could look back a generation or so and
see hla or her grandmother alttlng on the
doorstep watching the curling amoks
from her old elay pipe, or a great-aunt
dipping snuff with a dirty looking little
wooden stick, he er an anight feet that
the race haa laro groans 1,
How shocked many ef these straight-
laced, good people would be oould a
vision of the past snuff-dipping, ' pipe-
amoktng aunts and . grandmothers peas
before them.
Perhaps, too, one of these same cigar
ette smokers so bold, braxen and 1 ai

looms, aa I have among mine, an ex
quisitely wrought gold snuff box aet with
prectoua stones, a gift of the royal Louie
Phillip to a treat-grandmother. Tobacco
to be sure, only In a different form.
I doubt If these people, who ao right
eously condemn our cigarette smoking,
have ever been beyond the boundary line
of the Mississippi or the Ohio. If they
have reached New Tork, they've had,
perhaps, a sight-seeing; fleeting glance
at the upholstery and draperies of the St.
Regis, the Astor or th Knickerbocker.
Our women who have traveled and
lived In Europe and known the Inner
side of the best, socially and materially,
hava found the high-be ro. well-bred
woman much given to the indulgence of
the cigarette, both privately and publicly,
ever the after-dinner, black ooffee or
wine. Why eheuld w women over hers
not follow th example of the woman
who. generally apeak Ing, Is the superior
by right of birth culture and refinement

When th best fiction writers of Europe
portray their moat virtuous, refined, cul
tured and beautiful women smoking
dye ret tea usual 1 y, it It true, in the
privacy of Intimatea, but often tn soma
extravagantly elegant publlo dinlna
palace why condemn the American
woman and her etgaretba, which Is used
as much by th society girt and woman
as her wage earning sister of the stage.
True, many women of the atag form
the cigarette habit, but a great majority
of them do not. Women of the theater
are almost Invariably of nervous, tem
peramental natures their work la stren
uous and often nerve wracking1 and the
cigarette soothes those tautiy-drawn
nerves, relaxes the whole being and la i
rest that only those who know Its In
fluanee can understand and It la not at
all harmful unless used te excess.

If, In the estimation of the excellent

COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia.. Feb. 14. -To
the Editor of The Bee: The scarlet fever
epidemic has called out such a variety
of comments, preventives end cures, I
wonder that no one has exposed the real
reason for the prevalence end continu
ance ef the disease. People don't want
to be quarantined. What Is more, tha
majority - of persons will not be quar
antined a minute longer then they can
help and the average doctor will explain
allowing patients freedom In ten dsyg te
three er four weeka by saying. "9nmo
cases clear up sooner than others." What
does the Stale Vnlvershy Medical Faculty
aayT "Peeling does not begin for a
week and continues five weeka"
Kenelm Wlnslow, a medical professor
connected with Harvard university, says:
'Scerlet fever patients should always
be Isolated for aa long a period aa six
weeks, and. better, eurht weeks, without
regard to shorter duration of peeling-, and
tt peeling continues longer, so should tha
Isolation. The dutease la commonly con
sidered contagious so long aa peeling of
the akin lasts. But tt' seams probable
that any catarrhal accretion from the
se, threat or ear Is capable of eom-
inuasoeUn the germs from a patleat to
niYMee person for nanny daya after ether'
evidences of the aleeeas are paet."
Several years ago a daughter of a well
known Omaha family of Christian Sol
enoa falta almost died from scarlet fever.
The parents finally employed a materia
mediae doctor, end ehe lived. She came
serosa the river to her married sister to
convalesce and peel off. The next year
neighbor's child died, t have always
wondered.
In our neighborhood several years ago
a child tn a family of alx children had
scarlet fever, was isolated for three
weeks when she appeared well and the
house waa disinfected. Shortly afterward
another child was taken 111 and the seme
program oarrled out until a third alege
was brought about. Now If the first
child had been Isolated two month a no
matter how light her case, and everything
near her boiled, burned or scrubbed with
carbolic solution mightn't the result have
been more satisfactory?
In my opinion tha Ufa of one child is
too greet a price to pay for freedom
from proper quarantine for all Omaha
