Rotundity, conpled with a fat treas ury, makes for the c&mfortable condition of mind. Getting' After the Gasoline Boosters. The senate Is about to start the attorney general of the Unltod 8tate on a new hunt for trusts. The sensational flight of the price of gasoline in the last few weeks has aroused sus picion that the dissolution of the Standard Oil trust as a result of the former suit did not so completely do away with price control as naa been hoped for. We must bear In mind, too, that conditions that surround the production and sale of gasoline at the present time are somewhat abnormal. The United States is practically supplying the world Just now, and an unprecedented demand has been created by reason or war requirements, uerminy is tlng Its gasoline from the Gallician fields, but the rest of the world is coming to the United States. The present experience raises a very Inter esting question, not at all novel, but of concern to all. It Is the matter of price fixing, either by the government or by the producers of gaso line. Will the price be fixed to suit the buyer or the seller?. Gasoline is not the only com modity on which the selling price has registered an advance during the months since the war started. Everything that enters Into modern life, except the subscription price to the news papers, has been marked up, and In some In stances quite as much in proportion as gaso line. If the government Is going to start an Inquiry Into prices, why not Include everything, and get at the bed rock facts. It will be found then, very likely, that the law of supply and demand Is pretty well calculated to govern such cases. One phase of the gasoline situation that must not be overlooked Is that the embargo proposed to be put on Its sale abroad Is part of the general campaign to prevent the sale of arms to the Allies. Gathering World News T"1 Vf.ltr comma In the pee( n Hethmsnn-Hollwrg In the Grief and Precaution. The death of another police officer, killed In the discharge of his duty while making an arrest, will again arouse the good people of Omaha to a realization of the dangers to whicn a policeman Is exposed. At the same time, the unfortunate affair, assuming that reports are correct, should be admonition to greater care In handling prisoners. It Is supposed to be the first rule of every disciplined police depart ment to search the prisoner as soon as taken In custody and take away from him any deadly weapon be may have. But In this case this rule must have been overlooked or the search care lessly made, with the result that the officer has paid the penalty with his life. Orlef for the dead, but precaution for the living. Literary Digest. of Chancellor von (Jerman Relchstss cost one dollar to flash bv wireless to this country, snd every comma, period anj semicolon, as well as every slniile word of the speech was eagerly bought at that price by the Associated Press. The speech appeared In our papers the next morning and was read by most, of us st a cost of an Inappreciable fraction of a cent. Many another Item of news. reaching us at the same slight expenditure on our rert. costs the news-gatherers of our country iulle as ranulous svitna to collect. 1 ne nistory or in process by which news became a world-commodity. In which men might trade as they do In Russian wheat or Alaskan sables, would be fascinating read ing. Hardly less so Is a briefer account of the way In which the news Is gsthered according to the system now In operstlon. Before a cosmopolitan ludlence In Philadelphia recently Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, explained something of this He gave a few examples of Asso ciated Press methods, which a representative of the Public Tedger quotes as follows: Assume that a fire has broken out In Benares. the second city of the Hindus, on the banks of the flanges, and 100 or 1,000 persons have tost their lives. Not far away, st Allahabad or Calcutta, la a daily pper having a correspondent at Bensres, who re ports tho disaster fully. Some one on his paper sends the story, or so much of it as is of general rather than of local Interest, to the agent of the Renter company st Calcutta, Bombay or Madras. And then it Is rshled to london. Hongkong, Sydney and Tokyo. At each of these places there are Asso ciated Press men, one of whom picks It up and for wards It to New York. If the thing happens In Zanxlbar the story goes either to Cairo or to Cape Town, and by the same process finds Its way to I,ondnn snd on to us In this country. Thus the wide world Is combed for news, which in an incred ibly shore time Is, delivered and printed everywhere. When Pope Leo XIII died In Rome the fact was announced by an Associated Preas telegram In the columns of a San Franc isco paper In nine minutes from the Instsnt that he breathed his last. And thla mesaage was repeated back to lxndon, Paris and Homo, nnd gave those cities the first Informa tion of the event. When Port Arthur was taken by the Japanese In 1KW It came to us In New York In fifty minutes, although It passed through twenty-seven relay offices. Few of the operators transmitting It knew what the dispatch meant. But they understood th4 Iitln letters and sent It on from station to station. Irtter by letter. When Peary came back from his great discovery In the Arctic Sea, he reached Winter Harbor, on tho coast of I,abrador, and from there sent me a wireless message that he had nailed the Stars and Strides to the North pole. This went to Sydney, on Csne Breton Island, and was forwarded thence by cable and telegraph to New York. lAl If , The manana policy of Carranza In the mat ter of railroad transportation fairly measures the mental Inertia and Incapacity of the de facto government. Haggling about petty details of operation exhibits a pitiful Inability to rise to an opportunity. It seems that "Bob' thinks he Is entitled to ciedit for putting back some 112,000 of Insanity fees after his attempt to steal them under the color of law was blocked by the supreme court. Some folks have peculiar notions of what hon esty consists In. It Is Interesting to have railroad employes back up the railroad "poverty plea" against the demand for a new Union depot. The same em ployes, however, decline peremptorily to listen to any poverty talk as against their own de mands for Increased wages. Night Coarse in the High School. Four hundred and ninety-five men and women have been given certificates that they have completed the course of study required In the night classes at the Central High school. This simple statement sums up the accomplish ment of these earnest men and women In thla one regard, but it does not present the picture of what that accomplishment means to society. These students are nearly all wage-earners, some are housewives, and all are busy during the day with the- sterner things of life. What ever cause cut them off from attending school In the days that are alloted to school doesn't especially matter; it left them with an unsatis fied thirst for more of knowledge. Ambitious and eager for a deeper draught at the fountain of learning, they have sought to overcome their handicap, and their effort will be rewarded with a broader vista and a deeper understanding of life. They will be better citizens because of this, and society will be the gainer thereby. One of the glories of our national life Is that the door of opportunity is ever open to any who will pass through it. The night school la for the ambitious and energetic, and its possibilities are beyond measure. For Its domestic service other methods are sdopted. The territory covered Includes the fhlted States proper, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines, the Islands of the Carribean Sea, Mexico, the Central-American states, and, by an exchange arrangement with the Canadian Press. Ltd., the British possessions on thla continent. The organisa tion Is, as you have been told, co-operative In Its character. As a condition of membership each one belonging agrees to furnish to his fellow member, either directly or through the association and to them exclusively, the news of his vicinage, as gath ered by him for his own paper. This constitutes tho large fountain from which our American news- supply Is drawn. But, as In the case of the foreign official agencies. If there be danger that an Individual member la biased, or If the matter be one of high Importance, we use our own trained and salaried start men to do the reporting, ror this purpose as well as for administrative work, we have a bureau In every leading city. Twice Told Tales It is easy enough to see why the democratic organs are trying to block the plan to write in the name of Charles E. Hughes for president on the republican primary ballot. They know that democratic success depends wholly on re publican division and they know, also, that no nomination would so completely unite the re publican elements as would that of Hughes. By mistakes of the types, The Bee's list of offices to be voted on in the presidential pri mary, in addition to those in the oH-year pri mary, was made to read "one district delegate" to the national convention from each political party when the allotment is "two delegates for each congressional district." Each voter tuay register his choice for six convention dele gatesfour at large and two from his district. The Chinese revolutionists have tnrown a successful scare into Yuan Shi Kal, the ruling boss, and forced him to put aside his imperial ambitions. After much hesitation and manifest reluctance the crown Is pushed aside and the title of Tepubllc restored. The shuffle of the Celestial cards does not disturb Yuan'a grip on the job. He remains on top and while he continues there it behooves the annoying kick ers to keep at a sate distance from the axe. On the Good Ship Ada Belle. Tidings from the north are most comforting. The good ship Ada Belle has weathered the stress of winter in fine form, has escaped the dangers of the Missouri's spring break up, and will shortly turn her snubby prow downstream towards Omaha, and soon again our harbor will throw off its drowsy slumber and become once more the scene of bustling life. And the Julia, too. Is coming, so that where but one ship plowed the muddy stream In days of last sum mer, two will now breast the current, and bear up the argosy of golden commerce. Let not the scoffers rail at this; everything must have a beginning, and neither of the vessels that made up the fleet commanded by Columbus on bis first voyage across the Atlantic would bear the burden or push the barges the Ada Belle and the Julia handle. These are but the start, and from them, properly nurtured, will spring commerce that shall fill our port with shipping, and make the river again a thing of commercial service.

"She's a re markably strong-minded woman. It is said she com mands a large salary." . "Indeed," said Dodge, reflectively, as he looked at the woman with Interest. "How does she earn It?" "She don't earn It." said Keller. "Her husbsnd earns It .and she commends It." New York Times. People and Events Human Factor in Casualty. Once more a terrible railroad wreck has fcbown how futile are man's efforts to com pletely safeguard all his undertakings. All the extraordinary precautions for ensuring the tafety In operation of trains have been adopted I) the railroad In question, but these were not enough to relieve it from likelihood of calam- it which has overtaken It. Accounts so far at hand Indicate that the human factor is again present la such proportion as to nullify the op eration of mechanical devices. Someone In the r.ne of duty failed, and disaster followed. If any moral U to be drawn from this it will be along the line that man Is subject In some de tree to the same laws as govern machinery. He snaps under too great strain, and when he gives ay whatever depends on him falls with him. Until a limit is placed on man's undertaking, the liability to failure will always be present, and the shocking news of a terrible accident may be expected. Daniels' Service to the Nary. Hear Admiral KIske charges inefficiency at Washington as the source of weakness of our navy. This is a most remarkable statement to come from an officer high In the service, who must know-' of the eminent services to the sea of Josephus Daniels In his administration of the Navy department. All the world has rung with the 'echoes of the reforms there accom plished. Is it possible that Rear Admiral Piske Is unaware of these? Does be not know that Secretary Daniels has put a southern man into every high position available, thereby proving his firm attachment to his home state. as well as his fealty to the ideals of the demo ciatir party? The secretary has also altered th terminology of the navy, until the veriest land-lubber or gawkiest of cornfield sailors will no longer be mystified by the lingo of the sea dogs. With firm hand, he uprooted the Rum Demon and put the splendid ' battle wagons" on the glorious "water wagon," even excluding the supposedly-innocuous grape Juice, which is still permitted at state dinners In Washington How can the navy of any power clinging to the outworn customs discarded by Daniels hope U vie In peace or war with our magnificent or ganization, which Is strictly up-to-date in lan guage and deportment? Do not, therefore, belittle Josephus Daniels and his doings: bis Chine will live long In naval annals', and many a dreary watch, "dog" or "larboard," will be cheered by thoughts of him and his achieve ments.

Neb., March 31. -To the IJiiltor of The Bee: An article a few dsfs siiO In your paper claims that It Is fire In the sun that makes the hest; alho that this world came from nothing. I can prove different, If you give me space. Is It not the fact that the closer to a fire a person gets, the more heat he feels Why Is It then so cold on the high moun- tsins where you are nearer to the sun? This does not correspond with the Idea In that article. I have evidence that will explain this fact, but I can t do It In a small spare. J. H. CARL80N. Bob's Fake Claims. OMAHA. Msrch il. To the Editor of The Bee: "Bob" Smith Issues a campaign statement over the signature of J. W. Barnett. auditor of fee offices, which declares that during his eight years In office he turned Into the public treasury JS1.242.73 more than his predecessor. I fall to see where any credit is due Mr. Smith. During his first term "Bob" went before the legislature and hsd the cost of fees Increased all along the line. If the law during Broadwcll's term de manded 1 irom a litigant for certain services and during Smith's term this service was Increased to $2, there was nothing else to do but to collect it and turn It Into the treasury. But what Smith does not say Is that neither Broad well nor he turned In all the fees which they collected. In the case of Insanity fees. Broadwell hung onto $11.4.14 until the supreme court said that these mug go to the public treasury; likewise ''Bob" hung onto near to $12,000 of Insanity fees until the supreme court had spoken, and as regards naturalisation fees he will likely hang onto those until the su preme court Is heard from. The law demands that the public must pay certain fees for certain services, and no official can take credit for doing what he was expressly elected for, especially when he himself had the law changed to help the showing at the expense of the litigants. VOTER. What One Bird Irftrer Accomplished, BROKEN BOW. Neb.. March 30. To the Editor of The Bee: Broken Bow Is small city of less than t.000 Inhabitants. It has many groves and trees and conse quently there sre lots of wild birds of many kinds. Broken Bow also has a scout master, who loves the birds as well as the "kiddles." Last summer he conceived the Idea of Inducing the kiddles to build and put up bird houses one day during the Chautauqua week. Of course It might be pretty late for the present season, but the Idea was to get them up so they would be ready for the coming season of 19l. He advertised It well in the Re publican, setting a day and offering 10 cents each for the first fifty and 5 cents each for the balance, the children to bring some kind cf a certificate from some one In the family to that effect, to be paid for in the order In which they were presented. The scout master went to his office early the morning of the day designated, but many kiddies with many bird houses, some with certificates. of course, beat him to it, and during that one day 103 bird houses of various designs were put up all over town, in yards, parks, or any place where trees were plentiful. Of course. In so many there were a few tricks played; a very few snide boxes put In Just to get the money, but at Hast ninety good, sub stantial houses were put up. A week or so later one very bright 12- year-old girl reported that Inside of forty-eight hours' after her house was up, it was occupied by a wild canary (which was In reslity, a Bsltimore Chi ole) and late as It was, many more were occupied by wrens and "spled-out"' by robins. You know a robin Is supposed spy out a nest for the next yesr, and think these robins' roost, or open boxes will be the cause of bringing many more birds the following year. The scout master remarked that no In cident In his life had given him so much pleasure, and what an opportunity was here for permanent work. Now then. If Broken Bow. with 2,500 Inhabitants, could put up 108 bird houses in one day, why not Omaha, at least. l.ono or better. 15,000? All you need Is for some one to get busy and organise. DR. RENIZER. The Scout Master. Remember the Cross la the Sqaare FA AJi CITT. Neb.. March 31. To the Editor of The Bee: I note with much pleasure and satisfaction, the work you are doing on behalf of the candidacy of Justice Charles E. Hughes for the republican candidacy for president. consider him the one men. who ran unite the various elements of the party and win success at the poles In Nov ember. He has many elements of strength not possessed by any other proposed rsndldate, and has made no ststrment concerning the great Euro- pesn conflict, which will be offensive to any of the partisan friends of elthc side. In addition to all this, he Is big enough to fill the office and will not be controlled by any element or faction In any party. His nomination means the success of the republican party at the poles and will assure a wise and pros perous sdmlnUt ration. In calling the attention of the voters to the privilege of writing In the bal lot the name of Charles K. Hughes, a their preference for the republican nomi nation, It appears to me to be Imported that you Impress upon them the neces slty of also placing a cross In the square to the left of his nsme. If no rross I plsced In the square their votes will no be counted. JOHN W1LTE.

DRUM IS HERE AS TANLAC MANAGER Directing Head Comes to Omaha as Result of Popu larity of the Tonic Here. Plans to Meet Big Demand So great has become the popularity of Tanlao in Omaha, and. In fact, the en tire state of Nebraska, that extraordinary measures to meet this demand have been taken by the Tanlac laboratories. There arrived todsy In Omaha E. H. Drum, directing head of the distribution department of this great company, who is to take personal charge here of the Tanlac inroductlon. Mr. Drum, when seen at the Sherman McConnell drug com pany, lfith and Dodge streets, where Tan lac Is being explsined to Omaha people, said: "While It is true that the popularity so quickly won by Tanlac In Omaha has rathe.- taken us by surprise, the Incressed production at the Tanlac laboratories, Dayton, O., which are now on a basis of 6.000.000 bottles a year, makes certain there will be no shortage of the Master Medicine. "The story of Tanlac in Omaha Is only a repetition of the successes In cities througho-.it the East and South. When you consider that in a territory then re stricted because of Inability to serve a wider field, one million bottles of Ten iae were distributed in nine months, the tremendous success can be realised. Only extraordinary merit could bring such a phenomenal demand. I believe there 1 no remedy so effective In ailments of the stomach, liver and kidneys and catarrhal affections as Is Tanlac. peaks from Experience. "I feel that I know this personally," continued Mr. Drum, "because of my own experience. I was .a confirmed dyspeptlo snd had sought relief In vain for three years. I was traveling to Louisville after a stay at Ashevllle, N. C, which had given me no benefit, when I became ac quainted with a traveling man. "We told our mutual troubles, and when I had told of my fight for health he said, with absolut confidence: 'When we get to Iottlsvllle I'll fix you up.' That promise hsd been made to me one hundred times. I guess, and I was not Impressed. "But my traveling companion was so confident that at last I was Interested, as he told me his experience with Tanlsc. His case had been similar to mine. He was such a good fellow and so sure he could aid me that I would have taken extract of elephant ears to please him. "In Louisville he made me buy my first bottle of Tanlac. That was eleven months ago. Today I have forgotten that I ever waa a dyspeptic, living on crack ers and milk, not having a good night's sleep in a month and having scarcely the strength to attend to my business. When my new health came and I had gained 22 pounds, I was so impressed that I made a trip to the Tanlac laboratories. Inspected them, saw how Tanlae was made pure and kept pure, and I ended up by asking for a Job. "I have heard thousands of Tanlae stories like mine, but, of course, mine still sounds best to me." During his stay in Omaha Mr. Drum will be in personal charge of the Introduc tion of Tanlsc at the Sherman & McCon nell drug store. Tanlac may be obtained in Benson at the Schl'.ler-Beattle Drug Store; Spring field, H. Flegenbaum; Weeping Water, Meyer Drug Co.; Nebraska City, Henry Sch wake Co.; Auburn, R. H. Dort; Ash land. H.
