I t Edwards' Advance:. Omaha business men
aremhe most persistent fighters on earth. After
showing their business record to the Treasury
department and being informed that they were not
good enough for a federal reserve bank, they have
banded themselves together to fight for one of
the- banks to be established under the farm loans
bill Perhaps if they would -abandon the ques
tions of business and financial standing of their
rjity and ahow the administration how they were
(going to roll up a democratic majority which
they will not be able to deliver) they would have
isosrte show of getting one of these new banks.

souri to get another bank thart for Nebraska to
get one.

Threatened Railway Strike.
The issue between the railroad train and
enginemen and the managers of the roads seems
to be made up, and a deadlock reached, the solu
tion of which is to be referred to a general
strike. So far has the matter proceeded that a
definite hour for beginning the strike has been
fixed.
Whatever of principle may be involved as be
tween the men and the managers, their persis
tency in clinging to the position assumed has gone
to a point where public interests are concerned.
The obvious fact that no matter which side wins
in the end, the public is the chief sufferer, has
been before the committees all the time, and while
each has made appeal to the public for sympathy
and support, neither has felt moved to concede
a jot or tittle of demands made to the end that
the public be protected in any of its rights. Now,
'if the ordered strike comes as promised, public
opinion will hold both sides guilty. Proposals
and counter-proposals have passed, but without
an apparent effort to find the reasonable ground
on which both men and managers could stand,
at least, while a permanent adjustment could be
formulated.
What congress may do to avert the calamity is
not plain. The several proposals outlined do not
indicate the presence of an effective remedy. Ob
jection is raised by the men to compulsory arbi
tration, and by the managers to the eight-hour
day as a basis- for calculating wages. Should a
law embodying these .features be passed, its en
forcement would be a difficult matter. Seizure
of the roads by the government is beyond the con
stitutional .power of the president, unless he
should take the advice of Senator Newlands, and
declare a state of civil war. This expedient is
remote, even with immediate legislative action.
' Unless a change comes over the spirit of one
or the other of the contestants, the strike, with all
its serious consequences, appear inevitable.

Shutting Out Little Grain Gamblers.
A rule just adopted by the Omaha Grain ex,
change will go far to eliminate the evil of gam
bling in food supplies. The controlling board has
issued an order putting the margin on wheat deals
at such a figure that the small bettor are com
pletely eliminated. While thisstep seems dis
criminatory, it i in the right direction. The
board should follow it up with another rule that
will do away with gambling entirely, and put the
market on a legitimate businesa basis. Purchase
of wheat or any other commodity for future de
livery, at a price that may have some relation to
Conditions existing at the time of delivery, neces
sarily partakes of the nature of speculation. So
long as this is permitted, the element of chance
tan not be entirely eliminated. This form of
dealing is quite legitimate, but the abuse to which
it is subject quickly brings it into the worst form
of gambling, that of betting if the price goes up
or down, with the fictitious sale of billions of
bushels of grain that does not exist, and deals
being closed without regard to delivery of a ker
nel of corn or a grain of wheat. The new rule
will do away with the participation of the small
fry in thi branch of the market, and is of service
to that extent.
Weakness of the Farm Loan Plan.
No man is better qualified to speak authori
tatively of the problems of the farmer of the
United States than Henry C. . Wallace of Des
Moines. His life has been devoted to considera
tion of the economic and social aspects of the
agricultural-industry, both through practice and
m theory, and he knows whereof he talks or
writes. His criticism of the farm loan law. just
passed by the democratic congress and now
sought to be put into operation, is that of one
who understands what is required, and who knows
how far the present measure falls short of reach
ing the farmers who really need help.
'The law do.es not reach the spot," says Mr.
Wallace, who points Out that as it is now framed
it wihVhetp only those who really 'do not need
help, and for whom the borrowing of money is
already a simple matter. This is exactly the posi
tion The Bee has taken from the first In all the
consideration of this measure, the needs of the
small farmer, the tenant, and the young man
struggling to become an owner, have been
ignored, and only the interests of the established
land owner have been looked after. While the
democrats have made great pretense of taking
care of the farmer, and boast they have placed
him on a level with the merchant and manu.
facturer, they have done nothing of the sort. The
merchant or manufacturer can borrow on their
credit, while the farmer can only borrow on un
incumbered land, which must be appraised, and
then only to 50 per cent of its value. The mer
chant or manufacturer can borrow on short time
notes, but the farmer can not borrow for a shorter
period than five years.
The law as it stands will not helo move crona.
will not help out through the planting and grow
ing seasons, ana will not give any heta to. the
tenlnt farmer who is striving to become a land
owner' rn plain words, it is a mockery. ,
-.New State House Is Needed.
,With the old state house tumblins about his
ears,' Governor. Morehead still hesitate to-take
tne responsibility of recommending that a build
ing suitable for housing Nebraska's state govern
ment be erected. He will refer to the next legis
lature a proposal that the dilapidated and danger
ous east wing be torn down, and that a more sub
stantial structure be erected, to become, in future
time, part of a real state house. Whv
the governor come out frankly and tell his people
what he well knows, that the old capitol building
not oniy antiquated, but Is actually dangerous;
that It is expensive to maintain, because of its
lack of appointments, and that it is entirrlv i
small to properly house the different departments
of the government? The next legislature will
have to give careful consideration to the problem,
and the governor should see that it is furnished
with all available data, based on careful inquiry
by qualified experts to the end that its work
will, be facilitated by having facts to start on.
The Bee agrees with Governor Morehead that he
has a more comfortable office in the state house
than he does in Falls City; not a governor of
Nebraska has "ever occupied private quarters as
spacious arid as well sppointed as those furnished
for him by the state. But this is no mine lm
other departments of the government should not
be well provided for, and given safe, comfortable
offices in a building that is designed for its pur-

with the various people mentioned,
my reading of The Bee is largely the
eaitorlal and the public letter box col
umns, so the personality of some of
the writers naturally la of interest
One somehow feels when one reads
the public letters that one is reading
uncensored news. I would like,
therefore, to have you say in this
column If this Charles Wooster is a
pen name. . I have seen several let
ters from him since I commenced
three years ago to take Tho Bee. I
would also like to know why a se
ries of letters by someone called the
"Helde" has been discontinued. He
also was a personality that was most
Interesting.
This letter is of no public interest
and Is suggested in a spirit of curi
osity, so you need not publish it. I
will say that both the editorials and
many of these letters display both
a literary style and an originality
equal to a large Pennsylvania paper
which reaches me daily.

This and That.
Avoca, la., Aug. 27. To the Editor
of The Bee: Momentous question of
paramount issue are before this na
tion today as never before in the his
tory of this republic. '
It was but recently when a war
started in foreign countries where na
tions invoked divine aid to win their
point. They were so earnest in their
belief that they were right that glis
tening steel and rusty shotguns were
brought forth in evidence and mil
lions of unnumbered dead He in un
marked graves as peace "memen
toes." ,
But this Is across the ocean. Let's
forget It In the home land there are
religious bodies who claim to be fight
ing satan's forces. They are going to
organize that they may get proper
recognition, and that, too, under a
flag that we all love and once had a
meaning peculiar to thi nation. To
the minds of many of us it was as the
rainbow after the gentle and refresh
ing; shower of aorlnKtime whose Cre
ator designed that never again should
aestructive nood encircle the earth.
Sacred history tells us that a bra
zen serpent was lifted up for a be
knlghted people in a wilderness. We
can now draw on imagination and
see that in the beauty of holiness, but
we or toaay are stemming; the ' stem '
of stern realities and must arise to
conditions demanded by the age we
live in. Instead of sneering at things
of vital importance let us peer into
them, hopeful of being helpful to
those about us. We have a railroad
strike confronting us that threatens
disaster or serious nature if carried
into effect and what Is the reason ?
The operative force says wages are
Inadequate to meet the present high
cost of living, with working hours
bordering on slavery. The giant cor
porations appear obstinate to yield
to demands and the president of the
great United States is being invoked
to aid in amicable settlement with
due consideration for all concerned.
Over in Nebraska the liquor ques
tion has some ot the democratic
forces and others guessing. The saloon
keepers and breweries are fearful lest
the vote will knock the financial props
from under them and thev gulf of de
spondency appears to be getting their
goat. The dynamic forces of a great
statesman and the "Dahlmanic" forces
of the metropolis of that state,
with an evangelist of world-wide
fame over in. Michigan lighting the
"devil to the last ditch," causing us
farmers to cast a wishful eye to our
sister state.
Let us arise as one man and sing
"On Jordan's Stormy Banks" and
"Blest Be the Tie That Binds" with
spirit and understanding and the
world will get better. T. J. H.
One Man's Drink Another's Poison.
Omaha, Aug. 27. To the Editor of
The Bee: The nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie Institute has come to
the conclusion that past research
work of sclentifio nature concerning
alcohol is faulty and had better be
done all over again. It declares there
exists much speculation and theory
and a minimum of verified facta, and
that "ninety-nine words out of every
100 written have been inspired by
prejumce on one sine or the other,
rather than the plain, unvarnished
truth." The proofs of analogy and
empiricism are not enough for science
nowadays, and it demands identifica
tion by controls, etc. When Brown
ing affirmed "God is In heaven, all's
well with the world," as a proposi
tion in deductive, speculative logic,
inasmuch as the major premise is
founded on a universal or self-evident
truth, people say it must be so, al
though to the finite mind there Is no
positive evidence or as we say scien
tific evidence. That kind of old for
mal logic led to many a religious war.
So, too, thus to make statements
about alcohol In a priori fashion, like
above, or by analogy or empirically,
doe not satisfy this generation. -. One.
might declare constipation to. be the
cause of more , of man's ills , than all
other cause combined and be would
not be far from the .fact But to
make propositions atlck It .will take
more than that kind of logic to prove.
So with alcohol; It is said to be the
cause of rheumatism, gout, arterio
sclerosis, . Bright's disease, headaches
and a hundred other things. But by
that kind of loxic const I nation can be
shown to do the same and with even
better prooz. Some people do not
drink milk, for it "binds" the bow
els: some no coffee, for It makes
them nervous and sleepless. No one
ever accused alcohol In moderation of
doing any ot the three. Indeed, many
use wine and beer to guard them
against such Infirmities. ,
It would be hard to say which Is
worse, the chronic drunkard by al
cohol, or "drunk" by the poisons of
one's own secretions; to be unhappy
and melancholy, sallow, aenemlc,
crabbed and for all "envy, hatred,
malice and all uncharttableness."
What the institute Is going- over are
the experiments of Atwater, showing
alcohol to be a food In the sense
somewhat like sugar and water. It
produces heat and energy, but cannot
be converted Into bone and- muscle
like the protein of meat, CKgs, milk,
etc - The experiments ot Chittenden
and Reld, declaring It Interfered with
the function of the liver, by lessening
It power to destroy poisons; its ac
tion on digestion and whether it re
tards appetite. The experiments' of
Kraepelin on muscular work with and
without The lifting of weights by
the Italian Mosso, especially by the
Index finger. Those of Metchnlkoff,
aa tending to lessen the power of the
leucocytes to ward off disease. Those
of Hodge on kittens and dogs and
those of Lauder Brunton. Then,
whether It helps or-retards brain work
and also the statistics ot Gautier,
showing that several million people
receive In their daily diet more en
ergy in the form of alcohol than as
protein, and many others.
Like too much beat, It seem all to
he a question of the amount and kind'
Ingested. A man will hurt himself
if he repeats his Christmas dlnnei
too often, whether the pudding has
wine In It or not - It hs stated that
the institute will be some ten or twen
ty year at work at thla difficult aub
