Ad dress will tm change, as often as requested. Mexico's climate is not responsible for the Quality of hot air coming out of that section. Wall street's speculative crowd shows rare human sentiment in playing with rail babies. , Speaking of the high cost of living, there is the broih compounded by high-priced cooks. j If Chicago's Five Million club is alive to its opportunities, an early June census will turn the ; trick. Preparedness is an overworked word, still it holds in reserve power to make good roads a reality. f i. i Our Nebraska State Board of Arbitration has fi' chance right now to vindicate its creation ' by making a record of achievement. With the wrecked Decatur bank finally in the receivership stage, pools are open as to just how ; long it will take to wind up its affairs and finish the job. Now if Florence and Benson had only come in with Greater Omaha promptly they, too, might present some entries for that city commissioner ship vacancy. If puns were not out of style, someone would say something about the "stunts" Bishop Stunta may be expected to perform when he takes up his work here in Omaha. Members of the Chicago Society for the Sup pression of Noise wisely decided to suspend activities during June. A political thunder storm if a dangerous thing to trifle with. All the commercial clubs of Nebraska are for good roads, and so are all other civic organira , tions throughout the state, but it will take more than mere "resoluting" to build them, ! Of Nebraska's sixteen delegates to Chicago, , thirteen are now on record publicly as personally favoring Charles E. Hughes after the compli mentary vote stage passes- Make it unanimousl As a matter of fact, our democratic friends do not find half so much to worry them in "re publican" factions as they find in "democratic" factions, which nothing but the cohesive power of public patronage can draw together. The forward-looking law makers of Wiscon sin did not get very far with a reform restricting interstate corporations to state courts for legal relief. The federal supreme court, though a good champion of states rights, unanimously annuled the restrictive statue. The solicitude of the World-Herald for con firmation of the president's appointments does not. however, include his nominees for United Mates attorney and (or internal revenue 'collector for the district of Nebraska, each persona non grata to our democratic senator. Mr. Irjan deilincs to treat seriously the sug gestion that lie be nominate d lor president on the ptolubiiion lukct.

Rumors of approach to peace in Europe have been more numerous of late, and in spite of de nials they persist. Maybe it is because of the nature of the denials, which generally take the form of broad statements of obviously impossible terms on which one or the other of the belliger ents will consider settlement. It is quits within the range of reason, too, that these rumors may be emanating from sources known to diplomats who would sound in advance sentiment before coming out into the open with their plans. One significant feature of the latest crop is that Ger many is reported to have admitted that the United States has not forfeited eligibility as a mediator. The remark of the president in the course of his Mecklenburg address at Charlotte, may have been a chance reference to the situa tion, but it has set the world to wondering. The United States ought to lead the way to peace, when it can be done. The proffer of good offices made at the outset is still open to the bel ligerents, and beyond this our government cannot go with propriety. Many ways are open along which approach to peace is possible, but the in itiative rests with the powers at war. They will find the rest of the world quite ready to assist in readjusting affairs when they are ready to end the struggle. However, the peace rumor doesn't seem to have reached the probability stage as yet. Pine Forests for Nebraska. Statements of Woodruff Ball of the State Forestry commission revive interest in the ex periment of the government in planting yellow pine on the Nebraska sandhills. It had already been proved that jack pine would grow there, but Mr. Ball now reports that the yellow pine is alio thriving, and that the area experimented with by the federal government is well wooded, and in not a great while will be producing revenue. The Bee again reminds prospective legislators that here is a splendid field for some constructive work. Bessey wood may easily be reproduced many times, and millions of acres of now bare and useless sandhills can be made serviceable through forestration. It is a safe and sure in vestment, it will mean acceptable returns to the state in many ways and it ought to be given proper consideration. Some legislator will win for himself a name in Nebraska's history by set ting in operation the project that means so much to the future residents of the state. State-Wide Registration the Remedy, Assuming that Mr. Bryan is convinced that the votes of "wet" republicans beat "Brother Charlie" for the democratic governorship nomina tion, we invite him to join ui in making such a thing impossible for the future. As The Bee has pointed out, the charge that republicans voted in the democratic primary emanates from the rural districts. It does not apply to Omaha or Lincoln because a registration system pre vails in these cities under which each qualified voter must record his party affiliation at least ten days before election and must confine, his participation in the primary to the nomination of candidates of that political party. In the small er towns and country precincts, however, the voter has up to the moment of entering tfjie polling place to decide which party ticket he will ask for and the door is wide open for the transfer of votes from one column to the Other as the exigencies of the occasion may demand. A state-wide registration system is the only sure check on this crossing-over that we know of. With the start already made for the prepara tion of a voter's mailing list to which the secre tary of state sends the initiative and referendum information- pamphlet, slate-wide enrollment of voters, with designation of party affiliations, would be but a short step. Other states have such enrollments and there is no good reason why adoption of the plan is not feasible here at small added expense. If we had a general registration of voters everywhere, on the farm and in the vil lage as well as in the big city, no candidate for democratic nomination could lay his defeat to the vote of republicans, " wet" or "dry," or vice versa. When It Comes to Arav Promotions. The new army bill will materially enlarge the staff of officers, which means promotions all along the line for which all of the present officers, worth a snap of the finger, have a laud able ambition. It goes without saying, too, that these promotions will not exert their beneficial influence to the fullest degree unless made in recognition of meritorious service so as to afford an incentive and inspiration to every man taking up a military career Naturally, we in Omaha and Nebraska would like to see recognition accorded some of the officers with whom we are more familiar by rea son of their being stationed near ui at different times. Pershing is already brigadier general and should be entitled to early consideration for a vacant major-generalship. Another officer whose claims seem to call for endot sement is Colonel James B. Krwin, who has hern doing brilliant woik on the Mexican border, which his many friends here have been watching with admiration, ami whose promotion to he brigadier general would make us alt rejoice Cutting Down the Navy Prog-ram.

Pr.tld.nt Nebraska State Medical Association. As president of the Board of Health. Governor More head Invited the public health service to nd man to make a study of our health organisation in Nebra.ka. This man was to be an expert and an impartial person. Dr. Carroll Fox was detailed. After two months he has Just left, and his report Is now In the hands of his chief in Washington. from close s.socistlon with Dr. iox I know he will recommend changes that are not too Ideal for adoption, but that he feels will fit our local conditions. The recommendations I will five yeu now are In my Judgment In harmony with the views of Dr. " After a thorough study of the State Board of Health and a careful consideration of the public health needs of the state, It may be concluded that much of the trouble arising within the state health body is due to the absence of an administrative head, clothed with authority and re sponsibility, and to the lack of a proper organisation to carry on the necessary work. In ord.r to correct this, the following recommendations are made! t. That the name of the state health organisation be changed to the State Department of Health. 2. That a full-time state health officer to act as exec utive officer of the board of health be appointed by the Btate Board of Health, at a salary of not less than SS.000 per annum.

Politics In Normal School Board. Omaha, May 2t.-To th Editor of Th Bee; How long will the state of Nebraska permit the Interest of its Stat normal school to be sacrificed to meet th selfish ends of th bunch of cheap politicians on the Norma board T This board has been rather ult of lata, but It appears they hav been doing business at th same old stand and In th same old way. A recent board meeting was called at Lincoln, and on th same day th School Masters' lub mt at Lincoln. On th fac of It this seemed to be a coinci dence. But to th asm bosrd meeting shout a dosen favored mamhers of th va rious normal school faculties wer Invited to meet with th board, at th xpns of the stat. Th secretary of th board In vlted these various faculty members to snm sort of conference, hut failed to In vite th atat superintendent It seems, howvr, that all theee Invited guests ar members of th School Masters' elub. Bear, tary Cavlnes and th rest of th ring had a ring candidate for president ef th School Masters' elub, so It was necessary to have as many obligated members of the elub present as possible, vn though It did ost th stat a couple hundred dollars. In order to hsve th slat go through safely. At thla same meeting th sister of a prominent politician asked for pise In on of th normal schools. Whether Tom Majors Is under obligations to ths prominent politician, or wanta to plac th prominent politician under obligations to him Is not reported, but at any rat th sister waa placad at the head ef on of th leading de partment of th Peru Normal at Major' suggestion. Th Normal hoard ost th taxpayer ral thousand dollars a yar to do poorly what th regents of th university would do well for nothing. The normal school ar th schools of th people. They ar Intended to train teachers for th children ot th people. But they can not wall fulfill their mission when th polltlclsns on th board pay political debts In selecting members of th faculties of these schools. The Incoming legislature can render no greater servlee than to do what th last legislature failed to do, and that is, to re mov th normal school from political domination. B. D. JAMES. Chalking Cp Tim and Tasee. Omaha, May IS To the Editor of Th Deal Why all this "fuss" about setting th clock back an hourf If It makes no dif ference, why not set It back a week or a month or, on the ssm principle, sat It ah4 two or thre weeks and And out ss sunn a posslbl who th republicans will nominate for prseldent, Th faot of th mattr I, If thr la a ral damand for a change, all th "bos" ha to do 1 to say, "Tomorrow we will oommenc to work at S Inatesd of 7 or t Instesd of I," aa th eft may be, and w will all be "John nie en the apot," for by th m rul w will be through an hour earlier, Th talk of asttlng th clock back Is tn kplng with th plan of aaseealnf our taxes. If my personal property Is listed at an autual valuation of 1(00.00, to mek It "salsr" on m thy divide that by five which would equal SIOO.00, then they figure I should pajr about 11.10, so they make the levy It mills. Now than, If they us th actual valu a a basis, they would hsv to flgur the rate .011 Instead of dividing by Ave and multiplying by .011. Bee how easy It Is and what a saving, toef I think that la where Mr. Howell got hi Ides for making out water bills. First, w are told (month after month) what the water would have coat under the eld management, then what the cost would hav been at each succeeding step thereafter until the Anal cost I figured out In "black and rd" so plain that even a professor In mathematics can underetand It. By all mean turn th clock back and a few months later turn It ahtad again In stsad of doing It th simple way. E. Plea for a South Omaha Man. Omaha, May St. To th Editor of Th Bee; Whan the question of a auocessor to Commlsaloner Drexel is considered. I think the queetion ot politic should out some figure, for there are three members who ar republican and aa th democratic part of the city commission has controlled af fairs for a number of years, tt Is time th republican had control for a tlm, at least, whin there ar so many more republloan than democrat in Omaha, as I shown by th rrglstrstlon of votr. I have always noticed that when It come to th non par Us n part of publlo affaire that dem ocrats alwaya get the best of It. We do not find any nonpartisan officials er Judge of courts In ths southern democratic atatea like Mlsaourt, Arkansas, Mtaalasippl, Texas or Florida, but tt Is only la republican atatea that the so-called nonpartiaan lawa sra In effect. I do not object to having soma demo cratic oftlclals and at tlmee do not healtate In voting for democrats thst I consider bet ter than some candldatea for office on the republican ticket. But I think now I a good time for the republliana to demand control of city af fair tn Omaha, for this la going to be a republican year. There are plenty ef good men mi th Houth Side to choose from with out naming some man who has h'ld otflr r m h could cast a vole, or chronic iifriholilers Th illy commissioners ought 10 nsnie some men who we for the eon mlllailon ef South Omaha with Omaha, and I hop hy will do so.
