: The Bee has given up considerable space of
late to correspondents who have revived the de
bate as to the reality of evil As yet this meta
physical conflict has been carried on with the ut
most of good nature and entire absence of acri
mony, showing the high quality of mind those
who have engaged in it. Their philosophical and
historic researches have tempered and mellowed
their souls to where they cat strenuously uphold
each his side of the unending debate and, ,.ithout
conceding anything to the opponent, treat him
with unfailing Courtesy. In this they show ad
mirable self-control and as such are examples to
others less skilled in controversy, whose real at
times outruns patience and blinds them to an
other's viewpoint.
While each of the contestants holds with firm
ness to his own convictions and supports his stand
with ample quotations from dead and gone philos
ophers, whose studies were profound, it may be
questioned if any has moved the question much
nearer to ultimate solution. It is a matter of
much concernin fact, it has been man's great
est problem from the very beginning, but a line
of reasoning satisfactory to one does not appeal
to the other, and so the disagreement is perpetu

gris and the Euphrates, at the headwaters of the
Ganges, along the Nile and the Tiber, aeons ago,

of the Missouri
It has one undying charm; in its nature it is
intangible and so carries the investigator into
the realm of pure speculation, where conclusions
must bey evolved from the inner consciousness of
the individual and supported solely by his faith,
"the substance of things hoped for." Millions
are willing to be guided by others in this matter,

Base, Ball and Bomb Throwing.
If you were to tell the average American fa
ther his son is a born bomb thrower he would
doubtless take violent umbrage, but if you said
the boy was a born ball player he would be' com
plimented. Yet 1t amounts to the same thing.
Young American soldiers in France, undergoing
intensive training in the gentle art of how to
blow up an enemy and escape being blown up by
him, have astonished their preceptors by the fa
cility and accuracy with which they take to the
practice of bomb throwing. Here is where the
hereditary base ball skill comes into practice The

Disappointment Ahead for Peary.
Part of Admiral Robert E. Peary's polar ex
ploration achievements wail the discovery of
"Crocker Land," thought by him to be of al
most continental proportions. Now comes a let
ter from Donald B. McMillan, who has spent the
last four years in the polar region, in which he
reports his inability to locate any vestige of land
where Peary thought a continent rested. Mc
Millan says he pressed even thirty miles beyond
the point at which his predecessor located his dis
covery, but found only a clear horizon ahead. This
will be a great disappointment to Peary, but
should throw no discredit on his bther work. It
merely puts additional emphasis on the admitted
difficulties of exploration 1 in the Arctic regions.
The geography of that part of the world is im
portant, as it is very desirable for many reasons
Br Victor RoMwater
THIS HAS surely been a real hot spell, even
though the thermometer may not have avi
ated to former record flights. It is strange
how we remember exceptional seasons, but fail to
measure the lapse of time, Cpming into the build(
ing I was accosted by Dr. Merriam with the ques
tion of what year it was that the thermometer
showed 107 degrees on the Sth day of July. He
felt certain that the particular time he had in mind
was ten or twelve years ago. I finally fixed it
definitely as July 5 six years ago by recalling an
accompanying incident. An uncle of mine was
visiting us from the east and we entertained him
on the 4th of July at the Field club. Unable to
withstand the oppressive heat in the downtown
hotel where he was stopping, he got up and
dressed again at 2:30 in the morning, called a
taxi and had himself driven back to the Field
club, where he spent the remainder of the night
lying out on the grass as the most promising way
to keep cool. We have had, of course, other hot
eras, the most famoas being the two visitations
of hot winds that destroyed the corn crop m 1893
and in 1894. ,The trouble then was that there was
nothing but corn grown in Nebraska or rather
very little else which defect has been happily
and forever remedied by diversification, irriga
tion and dry farming.
Speaking of things "dry," I notice the effect
upon newspapers and periodicals of the new law
barring the use of the mails to carry advertise
ments of "wet" goods in the "dry" states. News
papers in the big cities are making up different
editions for different mail territory and so, like
wise, are certain weekly publications. For exam
ple, copies of "Life" coming here are plainly
marked "Dry States Edition." On one page of a
recent number may be found a clever comic rep
resenting two disgusted readers carrying this dia
logue: ...
"He Yes, we are actually filling up this space
in Life that in other editions is occupied by 1
"She How dreadful!"
..; And the publisher adds: "The mystery of this
page will never be explained except to the initi
ated." 1 , '
A copy of the London Illustrated News, picked
up at random, discloses' one advertising square
skillfully blacked over, as if it were one of George
Kennon's articles on "Siberian Prisons" caught
in the good old days by a lynx-eyed Russian cen
sor. So if you get a magazine or weekly picture
paper disfigured with big inky blotches you will
know what is back of them. . ..
Another oddity! Talking with Sergeant
Breckenridge the other evening about his experi
ences in the trenches in France along with the
Canadian regiment of which he is. one of seven
survivors, he told me he had never seen a dead
body until he had gotten over into the war roue.
"I was never able to nerve myself up enough
to go to a funeral," said he, "and never happened
to see anyone killed I tell you, though, j saw
enough dead soldiers the very first day I was in
action to make up for all the previous years and
all the years to come."
Here is a new Flag poem which a Wend sends
me as specially appropriate to the hour. It ia
captioned "The Message of the Flag" and is writ
ten by W. H. Walsh:
"I am the Flag that waves for you,
Thou weakest man of all that work;
I am your larger t dreams come true,
Oh, daring mmd who never shirk.
The constitution am I, too,
The courts and statutes I pursue.
, O'er statute makers I have power,
O'er soldiers, sailors, every hour
O'er farmer, counselor and clerk,
O'er all who strive in Freedom's work.
O'er dreadnoughts, battleships and fleet, ,
O'er merchant ships that sail the deep.
I am the victory .of today. -The
awful rout of yesterday. .
'I am the myst'ry of life, '
The glory of the nation's strife;
My stars and stripes are all for you,
Your hopes, your dreams, and prayers, too;
Your one best hope, when danger's nigh,
Columbia's soul in truth am I."

Important Week for Coal Men.
This is going to be an important week in the
history of the coal industry of the United States.
Mine owners and operators are to appear at
Washington to confer with the government offi
cials over the conduct of their business. It will
determine if they are to be left in control of their
own affairs or if the federal authorities will take
control of the distribution of coal, fixing prices
and alloting supplies. On their own behalf the
operators say they are victims of circumstances
they cannot evade. .Concerning the supply of coal,
they insist the. railroads are not furnishing cars
needed for shipping and that the shortage in dis
tributing centers is due to this fact As to'prices,
they point out they are furnishing domestic con
sumers coat at the rate of $3 at the mine, when
they can sell all they bare to ship owners and for
export at $6 to $6.50. Thus, protest the coal men,
they are voluntarily foregoing a profit of $3 per
ton on their product. Jnterfefence with their busi
ness is attributed to politics entirely. To offset
. Nebraskans as Home Builders.
Back in the earlier days of the state's history
outlanders derisively referred to Nebraskans as
"Bug Hunters," presumably having reference to
the vigorous campaign carried on by the settlers
against insect pests. At a later period "Tree
Planters" was the appellation,' because of the ac
tivity with which the people pursued the advice
and example of Julius Sterling Morton. This, of
course; was complimentary. - Now the state may
make application for a third descriptive designs
tion, that of "Home Builders." Reports to the
United States League of Local Loan and Building
Associations show Nebraska eighth in the list.
It has seventy-two associations, with 94,927 mem
bers and assets of $47,917,847. This is the pres
ent status and this takes no note of the thousands
of homes already built in the state by thrifty
men and women, who took advantage of this
practical means for co-operation. A volume might
be written in elaboration of the fact, but it could
not be more eloquent than the figures by them
selves. The state of Nebraska is prosperous and
in no way is this exhibited as fully as in the
proportion of its inhabitants who own their own
homes. ' "
Another Marvel of Industry.
One of the features of, the process of making
Portland cement is the large amount of dust that
escapes, to become a nuisance. It covers vege
tation and harms- the workmen and until quite
recently was looked on as just an unpleasant
accompaniment of a great industry. Out at River
side. Cat., it came to a pass where a big cement
mill had its choice of getting rid of the dust or
dosing down. Experimentation by a chemist re
suited in the adaptation of an electric device
whereby the dust is precipitated in the stack. This
led to the further discovery that the dust is pot
ash and at prevailing prices it actually returns a
profit on the operation of the plant, so that al
cement turned out is "velvet." Little hv liuU

within reasonable bounds. Fair dealing and no

The Law arid the Anarchist
Brooklyn Eagla
No right-thinking American can have any
sympathy with Emma Goldman, Alexander Berk
man or Louis Kramer, all anarchists, all limelight
seekers, all imbued with a spirit of treason to the
Stars and Stripes. ,
Yet law, impersonal in its application and in
its interpretation, cannot strike at these decadents
in the spirit in which they strike at it About
law there is no rancor, no mere vengeance, only

system that guards the rights of the smallest, nay,
the most contemptible, minority falls down.

bunch will" get out on bail. We have no
idea that their rnnviftinn or their sentences will
i be set aside.
