You should know that
Omaha's geographical location in
sures its position as an air travel
center for all time.
. Autumn is due to assert Us presence.
, Business, not as usual, but better than ever.
We. have with us once more the gridiron
warrior. x
Chicago expects Nebraska sugar to relieve
v the shortage in that city. Why can we not get
some of this? '
" Another "drive" to prevent railroad acci
dents impends. This ought to be made con-
tinuous performance, i .
Omaha has had one police administration
: controlled by 'Elmer Thomas, and had efnough
of it Give us a new deal.
The bolshevists again ask for an armistice,
but Belgium and Luxemburg have .had a fall
ing out, which keeps the score even.
The president seems to have passed the
crisis all right, and now is on the upgrade again.
News from his bedside is encouraging to Amer
icans. '
, King Albert has been-compelled, to rear
range his schedule, but has retained Omaha as
-one of the cities to visit, showing his good
judgment. " . , .. ,
You will have to give it td Ak-Sar-Ben
'; when it comes to picking queens, but it would
be hard even for a simpleton to go 'wrong in
-Omaha, where they abound.'
Une gooa way to proceed in me matter 01
. restoring the court house will be to find out
- how much it will cost to repair the damage.
Guess work here is dangerous.
When a burglar "walks" into a home and
out again, carrying loot with him, it indicates
'that somebody has been careless. These are
, not the happy days of King Alfred. . .
A "bread trust" was broken up. at Colum
- bus, O., when four leading bakers were staked
$1,000 in federal court. A little more of that
medicine migh help the cost of living problem.
" The Board of Control has received a model
' of the electric chair to he installed at" the Ne
braska penitentiary. This may eventually lead
-to carrying out the death sentences when it is
imposed. :
' . Tudore Garv leaves no doubt as to hisDosi-
tion. He says he will not arbitrate, and that
-he will not discuss the steel strike with a
. union man.; Anybody can project this to its
logical conclusion.
Men are gradually displacing women in the
- railroad service, "according to the director gen-
. cral, principally in shop work and round
houses. Another sign that we are getting back
to normal conditions.' Such coarse labor never
was designed for mothers to do.
Yt Attorney General Palmer tells that a Colo
rado school teacher died during the war,' be
miMtriiner $m0CK1 to von Hindenbure. which
ativM"g " w'
bequest the United States government care-
i fully carried out, converting the money into
"Y shells and smokeless powder arid passing them
: over the -line.' Fair enough.
RESTORING OMAHA'S SELF-RESPECT.
Taking leave of Omaha, General Wood tells
us we are a city again, and admonishes us to
get behind the. officers of the law in their ef
forts to maintain peace. So far this advice is
good. It requires, however, for the community
the possession of a police force in which. the
citizens can have' confidence. That this will
be provided may be accepted as foregone, but it
can not be without some radical changes in
the existing situation irt the city hall.
One member of the city commission is
quotedas declaring the council chamber the
place to settle the question, and .not in street
corner discussion." He, too, is right in the main.
But street corner discussion is an essential ele
ment in the problem, for it indicates not only
the interest but the spirit of the people.The
public is counting on a change in the city gov
ernment, and particularly a new control of the
police department and a new deal in' the police
force. .
Thedemand is so general, so openly ex
pressed, that it is amazing anyone can misin
terpret it. Members of the city commission
should realize now, if they never did before,
that they owe a duty to the public transcending
personal or factional interest. . If the good peo
ple of Omaha are calm, it is because they are
confident the other, commissioners will proceed
with wisdom to rearrange the police depart
ment, regardless of whether the commissioner
who has failed so lamentably to fill the job is
willing or unwilling to take himself out of the
way. It is not a time for passing the buck, for
minimizing delinquencies, or for establishing
alibis. The people want a change that will give
them efficient police protection.

V Blessings of Work. .
, "We work to live, not live to work," says a
publication emitted by a radical group of work
ers in an' eastern city.- This subversion of the
generally accepted philosophy of life is a chal
lenge to the thought of all the ages. It is
easy to understand how it may be accepted
by the indolent, the idle, the selfish, but the
ambitious, energetic, and well balanced will
reject it, just as they reject the inverted moral
ity of tales 'that have criminals for heroes.
The universal impulse is to create. Man
ascribes to the Omnipotent this faculty "in its
supreme expression, and notes through all ani
mated nature its various manifestations. In
man the effort is not restricted to exercise of
reproduction of his kind, but embraces so wide
a field of activity that humanity has been
blejsed and civilization enriched because ' men
have lived to work. ,
If the idea voiced by the thoughtless group
had prevailed in the beginning, man would
never have advanced from his arboreal life, for
then he could live with even less of personal
effort than is now required. He could eat and
sleep,' and amuse himself in whatever way his
animal instinct suggested, but he knew nothing
of the real delights of existence. If a man had
worked only to live, none of the creature com
forts that now pad. existence'' would have come'
to soften our physical life.. Not an invention or
discovery for the amelioration or improvement
of man's situation but is the result of work. All
we have has been brought Forth by labor, and
all we hope to have must be achieved in the
same way. . v . -
No man ever lived so dull and insensate, so
lost to the instinctive promptings of nature, but
must at some time have felt the urge to do
something, to produce something that would
not perish with him. He inevitably strives to
accomplish a task, to beget a result that will
survive him.- He is blessed just as his capacity
for work is given, its fullest scope and outlet.
And his toil is not in vain if it be accompanied
by the thought that he lives to work, and
through that work to add something to the ac
cumulated story of human effort.
France and the Treaty.
""Some details of the discussion in the French
Chamber of Deputies over the contents of the
Versailles treaty are now coming through. It
is plain that the document is ndi more satis
factory to the French than it has proven to
Americans, and for much the same reasons.
Efforts to add to or alter its language were
numerous enough while it was before the
deputies, who had some definite notions of
changes they wanted. ' ..' . ,
One x of the most important amendments
suggested has to do with the disarmament of
Germany, which evoked considerable criticism
of the action that allowed the German armies
to retire from the field, carrying their arms and
flying their flags. It is important to lote that
the chamber finally unanimously adopted an
amendment .,.!.
inviting the government! to re"ach an under
standing with the allied' and associated pow
ers, in agreement with President Wilson, who
shpuld convoke a conference under the provi
sions of the covenant of the Leagne of Na
. tions, with a view to the execution of meas
ures rendering the disarmament of Germany
and her allies effective by the interdiction of
certain manufactures of war and other neces
sary measures.
As the French chamber has not hesitated
to add materially to the text of the treaty, and
on a point that directly affects the Germans, it
would appear that they have no such tender
regard for .the late enemy, or apprehension of
renewed approach to them as animates certain
of the administration leaders in the senate.
The French senate has yet to act on the" treaty.
Canada also has attached an "interpretation" to
the document in the process of ratification, ex
pressive of what the Dominion holds to be con
tained in it.
The course being pursued by the senate of
the United States in. dealing with the treaty is
thus endorsed, by at least two of the nations
with whom we were associated in the war. Its
wisdom is becoming more" apparent to our
own people.
p A few- years ago a. more or less intensive
campaign against the "jay walker" was carried
on, and with some success, in Omaha. Now
that street traffic is -even more congested, it
might not be amiss to begin an effort to educate
people in he matter of observing traffic rules.
Vehicles are required to, and there is no good
reason why pedestrians should-not t
Views and Reviews
Recollections soJ Patti; World's
Greatest Songstress
Adelina Patti is dead! Patti, the world's
greatest prima donna soprano, whose match
less voice in her day thrilled to rapturous
ecstasy the music lovers of nearly every land.
She enjoyed the popular plaudits as did no
other great singer through years of unchal
lenged supremacy in the realm of song, made
her . successive farewell tours, as long as her
exceptional gifts continued to entrance, retired
while her powers still held their charm and died
at a ripe old age in her beautiful castle in Wales
which she had selected for her home, because
the voices of the natives there were, so clear
and pure. '
Patti first 'came to Omaha on one of her
concert tours in 1884. My father had met her
previously, I believe through Colonel Maple
son, leading to an enduring friendship. It was
largely through his insistent assurance that a
wonderful reception would await her in our
city, then just putting forth metropolitan pre
tensions, that the colonel was induced to ac
cord us an engagement on the itinerary. The
appearance here, it may be added, was a suc
cess musically, socially and above all financially,
passing expectation, from tnat time on,
Omaha was a regular stopping point qn every
tour of America made by the diva with ppssibly
one or two excentions. I have in my autograph
album, more than once referred to in this col
umn, a souvenir ot tne visit witn tins pecu
liarly appropriate inscription, "Music is the out
flow ot a beautiful mind." So strangely un
familiar was the name of Omaha to Patti that
in her corffusion she has mis-spelled it in the
date line, which reads "Ohama, April 4, 1884."
Writing in the same book a little later, Mod-
jeska, the famous tragedienne was struck' With
the. sentiment over rattrs signature, ana Dy
way of dissent or perhaps merely to express a
different view, wrote on the opposite page:
"Music speaks to the senses, poetry to minds;
music "is more beautiful, poetry more divine.'

the same plea as president , Y
In thesummer of 1891. in company with, my
father, 1 had the rare privilege of being the
guest of Patti for nearly a week at Craig-y-nos,
where the queen of song held forth as a queenly
hostess. The letter I wrote for' publication in
The Bee describing the visit and depicting the
life of this world-tamed celebrity and her hus
band, Nicolini, in their home, breathes through
out the wonderful experience it was to me. The
account commanded very general interest, being
copied by many of the larger newspapers ot
the country and to my knowledge being pre
served in quite a few scrap books. This arti
cle will be found reprinted on another page of
this issue and will give the story more
graphically than anything I could write anew
looking back from this day.
I last saw Patti when she went through
Omaha on her way to the Pacific coast in the
winter of 19U3-4. .Nicolini had passed away
and she was accompanied by her later hus
band, Baron Lederstrom, strikingly genteel and
assiduously attentive. She also had with her
Caroline, her personal maid, who was as-ivatch-ful
of her as a nurse would be of a child in
her care. 1 am wondering if Caroline has sur
vived her adored mistress.
Letters were interchanged from time' to time
between Madame Patti and my father and a
warm note of sympathy came to my mother
from her when she learned of his death. After
that I took up the- correspondence, writing to
her e-ery year, usually carrying holiday greet-'
mgs and good wishes, reciprocated in the reply
with incidental information about her doings
and herself. Here is a characteristic letter all
in her own hand: v
Rome, February 24, 1910.
Dear Mr. Rosewater: A thousand thanks
for your kind wishes for Christmas and the
New Year, which my husband and I heartily
reciprocate We were delayed for nearly
fortnight in London, and then again in
Paris, owing- to the tioods, which prevented
us coming h,ere until now. We shall remain
in Rome about three weeks and then return ;
home to dear old Craig-y-aos about Easter
time. I was much interested to hear about
your little son and can well understand how
proud your dear father vwould have been to
possess a little grandson.. My husband joins
me in best, wishes. . Yours, sincerely,
, ADELINA PATTI CEDERSTROM.

Factory Ventilation.
The importance ,ot industrial
medicine has been emphasized on
many occasions in the London
Times. A recent report by Dr. Ver
non to the Industrial Fatigue Re
search trbard illustrates the value
of the work being carried on. This
report deals with the tinplate in
dustry, and its contention is briefly
that output in this industry depends
directly upon good ventilation.
Recent work on ventilation' has
shown that it is the currents of air
more than the "freshness" of it
which matter. Lack of stimulation
by these air currents produces leth
argy and weariness and hinders
work. The 'employer who keeps , a
'stuffy factory therefore robs him
self. Dr. Vernorr found that the out
put in the tinplate industry is af
fected even by the weather. If 100
be taken as the average output, it
appears that a temperature (ex
ternal) of 38 degrees Fahr. 104 was
the output, and at a temperature
(external) or tz degrees Fahr. the
output was 94. The output curve.
in short, follows the temperature
curve. Thus the output is highest
in the winter months and lowest in
August.
But the "weather" Inside of a
factory can be arranged by means
of ventilation. At a temperature
(external) of 67.5 degrees Fahr. a
well ventilated factory had an out
put of 98. At the same external
temperature a factory with no ven
tilation nan an output -of 90 only.
In the latter case lack of ventilation
was a source of marked economic
loss to the employer.
In the same connection it has
just been shown by a committee of
tne institution of -Mining Engineers
that the control of temperatures in
aeep mines is dependent on ade
quate ventilation. "The Coal Indus
try commission recently place the
absolute limit of deplth at which
mining could safely be carried on
at 4,000 feet," says a report of
this committee, "but one conclusion
that has recently emerged from the
researches that are now proceeding
is that, under the ordinary means
of ventilation, mining cad be carried
on at 5,000 feet, and would, if these
methods were extended by artificial
means, De practicable at an, even
greater depth."

Money, Bacon and
v Packers' Profits
Chicago. Oct. 2. To the Editor
of The Bee': We have . noticed 1n
The Bee of September 10 communi
cations which are printed under the
line "About the Cost of living."
The Bee correspondent, who signs
himself "L. Phillipson, 1619 Daven
port Street, finds fault witn tne
contention that there is an over
abundance of monev in the country.
and therefore that the 100-cent dol
lar is worth only about BO per cent
in purchasing value. This ideahe
sayp, is probably the creation of
some of our v wise students in
economy and high financiering. Yet,,
Mr. Phillipson says, "We will admit
that money is plentiful; doe(uthe
laborer and layman derive any
benefit from it at prevailing prices
of necessities?, No."
On his own statement, we believe
Mr. - Phillipson has , demonstrated
convincingly the truth of the asser
tion which he denies. If, as he
sa'ys, there Is more money, yet' no
more benefit from it then it is
clearly shown that the purchasing
value of a dollar is diminishing.
-Mr. Phillipson continues in the
discussion of cold stotrage, which
he says makes for hoarding. He
believes that perishable goods
should be sold direct to the con
sumer from the producer. In the
sweeping statement that cold stor
age should be done away with, Mr.
Phillipson makes no provision for
the scant season. If butter, eggs,
fruit and other commodities were
sold to consumers during the few
months of the year in which they
are plentifully produced, what
would be the situation during the
scant months when production falls
far beloih normal? Man is unable
to hibernate and we believe storage
of foodstuffs during times of plenty
is absolutely necessary to tide him
over times in the year when there
is scarcity of supply. .
Mr. Phillipson mentions some
army bacon which .he purchased' in
the Auditorium paying 34 or 35
cents a pound. " "When I got it
home,", he says. "I discovered that
It was nothing but half-cured sow
belly, all fat, dear at 25 cents a
pound, at today's prices. . I merely
mention, this instance to show how
the combinattion of packers robbed
the government, and the govern
ment, to my understanding, is the
people,.-who eventually hare to foot
the bills."
The facts about army bacon are
these: During war times, fats were
as .badly needed as meat all over
the world, and particularly abroad
by our troops and by allied troops.
The food administration advocated
the raising ot- heavy hogs in order
to make up the necessary amounf
or rats. The product, which Mr.
Phillipson describes, was raised in
accordance with the food adminis
tration's request, was accepted by
the government inspectors as pack
ed. The point which he makes
merely illustrates that army meats'
were prepared for a necessary im
portant purpose for an emergency
and were carefully suited to the
demands. They were in every
respect high grade products made
of the best obtainable raw material,
anfl cured under government speci
fications. - - i
N Mr. Phillipson says: "Get the
profiteers! Kill them or put them
for life in the penitentiary and there
will, be an end to profiteering."
As a matter of fact, the packers'
profits on all products, including by
products, average only a fraction of
a cent per pound sold. This is
proved by figures which have been
subject to audit by the Federal
Trade commission.
If there are any questions which
have not been answered' or any
points which have not been made
clear, the packers will welcome fur
ther inquiry. The packing industry
as now organized will .stand the
acid test of service and public de
mand, and the packers desire the
fullest publicity on all its phases.

in which to make a complete trip around the
world if airplanes and airships had existed in
those days. At least we are perhaps to have an
opportunity to learn how much he should have
cut off by the result of the aeial derby which
is being planned by the Aero Club of America.
This club is offering prizes which may total
$1,000,000 to contestants in all countries who
will undertake to circle the globe in the air.
The terms are liberal enough. Competitors
may use any form of aircraft they choose and
as many of them as they need or desire. It is
the man, or woman, and 'not the machine which
is in the race. The task is to get around the
world through the air in any way the con
testant desires Or is able. He is even allowed
to make short trips by land or water convey
ance, provided the total distance traveled other
wise than ii) the air shall not exceed 10 per
cent of the totI mileage. This will provide
against the journey being terminated by an
accident to, his craft. He may travel by land
or sea from the place of the accident to some
point where he can find another air machine.
This is not simply a sporting proposition.
The contest should collect a vast amount of
valuable information for the development of
aerial navigation, especially for commercial pur
pose. " Much will be learned about routes,
aerial condition, the best types of traft, . etc.
Also much will be done to shape sentiment in
all countries in favor of a greater use of the
air for travel and transportation. St. Louis

Omaha people will be astonished
how quickly simple witchlutzel, cam
phor, hydrastis, etc., as mixed in
Lavoptik eye wash, relieves blood
shot eyes and dark rings. One yung
man who had eye trouble and very
unsightly dark rings was relieved by
a few applications of Lavoptik. His
sister also relieved a bad case of eye
strain in three days. We guarantee
a small bottle Lavoptik to help ANY
CASE weak, strained or inflamed
eyes. Even the FIRijJT WASH shows
surprising: results. ' Aluminum eye
