You should know that
In the United States there is one
automobile for every 18.3 people:
in the "Omaha Empire" there is
one automobile to every 9.4.
What The Bee Stands For:
1. Respect for the law and maintenance of
order.
2. Speedy and certain punishment of crjme
through the regular operation of the
courts.
3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of
inefficiency,' lawlessness and corup
tion in office.
4. Frank recognition and commendation
of honest and efficient public service.
5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true
basis of good citizenship.

The constitution says in event of the "death

dent shall perform his functions. What is
meant by "disability?" ,
Omaha is not threatened with a "flu" epi
demic, but it Is well to be very careful while
the. autumn days show fickleness. Precaution
. it better than prescription, and easier to take.
The legislature will find a fruitful field for
"inquiry and action if it takes' up the matter of
'rent profiteering in Omaha. Some way of
reaching the' greedy landlords, ought to ,be
found.

Omaha contributed $18,343,172.12 to the reve
nue of the railroads in the last twelve months,
which is a fair showing. Nebraska's total pay
ment to the roads was $81,717,819.91, that of the
metropolis being almost one-fourth of the
whole.
To Develop Waterpower
I
.... "t
The country seems in a fair , way to get a
waterpower law from congress soon, which will
promote development of the latent waterpower
resources so abundant in "many parts of the
country. .
The house has already acted favorably upon
a bill to create a waterpower commission to be
composed of the secretary of war, the secre
tarr of the interior-and he secretary of agri
culture and having power to issue licenses to
private concerns desiring to develop water
power on streams, and the bill with amend
ments is now before the senate, with the prom
ise of its backers that it will be pressed for pas
sage at the earliest time possible. -
The bill, as it stands before the senate, is
somewhat altered from the form in which it
passed the house, but the alterations have been
in the way of improvement of the original bifl,
a they provide for two classes of charges, in
stead of , ah annual license. Under" the sen
ate s amendments, the government would re
ceive a .larger return .from, the .waterpower
projects, which return would more adequately
reimburse the government for its expenses of
administration-of the projects.
- Congress should safeguard the rights of the
public in its waterpower legislation, but it
should hasten to open up this great field for
industrial and oower development Houston
OUR SICK PRESIDENT.
How sick is the president? Dr. Grayson's
professional attitude toward his patient and the
public is commendable when applied to a
private individual. He is also justified in his
desire to allay public apprehension as to the
exact state of the president's health. But it
may be questioned if he has taken the proper
course, to achieve his purpose. Mr. Wilson is
something more than a "case." He is the head
of the world's greatest government, charged di
rectly with the performance of certain im
portant and imperative duties. In addition, he
is a leader among the leaders of the world. For
these reasons, it is not alone desirable, but. al
most absolutely necessary that the world be
informed as to the nature of his illness, and to
what extent it may affect him in his public ca
pacity. This information has not been furnished, nor
can it be gained from the terse but reassuring
bulletins sent out from the sick room by the at
tending physicians. To be told that the presi
dent has had a restful night, that his appetite is
good, his pulse and his temperature nomal, his
eyesight unimpaired and to have this followed
by the further statement that his recovery will
be tedious and require perfect rest for a long
time does not reassure an anxious public, how
ever it may satisfy the rigidly exact code of
professional ethics.
Woodrow Wilson is president of an hun
dred millions of loyal American citizens, who,
however widely or sincerely they may differ
with him in regard to politics or policies, yet
revere him as the chief magistrate of the na
tion, and want to know what ails him and have
a right to the information that is not forth
coming. Agriculture and Other Industries.
Farmers at the national industrial confer
ence are said to be alarmed over the prospect
of having agriculture brought under conditions
that may apply to other industries'. Increased
cost of production incident to shorter hours of
labor and higher wages, according to their rep
resentatives, points directly to continued high
prices for raw food materials. This contains
much that is worthy of consideration.
However great the advance in farming
methods, due to improved machinery and other
processes, the raising of food has not been
brought onto a parity whh other industries as
regards operation. It remains true, and will to
the end in some degree, that the farmer is gov
erned by circumstances he can not control. He
must take full advantage of favorable weather
at all times, and can not neglect any of the op
portunities dffered him to do certain things in
their season. Some portions of his work may
be ordered on a factory schedule, but these are
not his major operations. While sunshine and
rainfall, freezing and thawing determine be
tween bountiful yields and crop failures, farm
labor must be on a different basis from that of
mill, mine or factory. v , ,
An eight-hour work period is perhaps prac
tical during corn, harvest, but it is utterly im
practicable in the planting season or while cul
tivation is on. This is only a single feature of
the problem. If the day ever comes when the
work on the farm can be arranged as it is in
a big mill, and go on regardless of the climate,
the short-hour day and similar advantages will
be open to the hired man, but until then he
will have to arrange his working time to meet
the exigencies presented from time to time by
Dame Nature.
Dealing With the Unions.
"It is nonsense to deal with the unions,"
writes Director General Hines of the Railroad
administration to B. M. Jewell, president of the
Railroad department of the American Federa
tion of Labor. Mr. Hines supports his asser
tion by the fact that the men refuse to-follow
their leaders, obey their officers, or observe
their contracts. Members of local unions have
done their cause more harm within the last
three months than the employers' associations
had accomplished in all the years they had been
opposing the organization of the men. Local
strikes, usually fomented by radical or irresponsible-
members, have been precipitated, to the
harm of industry .and the discredit of organized
labor. While Samuel Gompers has been fight
ing the radicals who have been boring from
within, men to whose service he has devoted his
life have been undoing his work. The spectacle
would discourage a . leader less stout-hearted,
but he will save something of his great organ
ization, and bring through to the future a group
finally purged of the destructive elements now
active. It is inconceivable that American work
men will be led to their own destruction, al
though they appear headed that way at the mo
ment. Wise and conservative-leaders still are
striving to bring order, but for the moment the
indictment of the railroad director seems well
founded. '
"Everything Has Been Said."
Colonel House has returned to America,
leaving Europe not exactly flat on its back, but
to get along the best way it can without him
to point the course. He has a message for his
countrymen, though, and in writing it 'is trans
mitted to the press, that no danger of garbling
may exist. His message reads:
I have nothing to say. Everything has
been said that can be said on every vital sub
ject We should begin to work; work stead
ily, and tranq.uilize.
There you have it. Everything has been
said, and therefore settled. Perhaps Colonel
House's long residence abroad has caused him
to forget" the habits of his countrymen. At any
rate, it is morally certain he will be astonished
by the amount that yet remains to be said on
some vital subjects. Also, the extent and in
fluence of the dissent to views he and his as
sociates have expressed, and, the dissatisfaction
over some of the adjustments they have made.
The colonel is in for a busy as well as a silent
winter.
The blockade of the Baltic may or may not
bring the Germans to an appreciation of the
fact that they did not win the war, but if it is
properly applied it should not only have this ef
fect but ought to be of service in quieting
Europe generally.
A "fossilized giant" 32 feet high has been'
dug up in Mexico. rWe know that Mr. Bar-num's-
estimate holds good yet, but can it be
possible that the world has forgotten the "Car
diff giant?"

What Steel Workers Do
" Because of the wide interest in the strike of
steel workers the National Geographic society
has issued two bulletins on the steel industry.
The first dealt with Bessemer steel; and the
second one, based on a communication to The
Society, describes other production methods as
follows:
"An open-hearth furnace looks a good deal
like an ordinary bake-oven; but when one
looks in through the water-cooled door, a vast
difference- appears. Instead of pans of fra
grant, fat loaves of baking bread, there is an
imposing pool of fiery liquid as bright as the
filament of a high-power tungsten lamp, so
dazzling that it can be examined with safety to
the eyes only by those using colored glasses.
Tinted here and there with streaks of soft blue
and dainty pink, it looks - like melted , stick
candy.: -
"In preparing a battery of open-hearth fur
naces for a charge, finely ground dolomite is
shoveled in first ' This melts like glass and fills
up all cracks and crannies caused by the pow
erful heat of the preceding charge. Then a lit
tle train rolls up before t':e battery, and an
electric crane dumps box R.'".;r box of scrap
metal from the cars into the furnaces. Off
some distance is a great steel tank lined with
fire-brick , and full of liquid pig metal.
"When the scrap has melted and the con
tents of the cauldron are cooked enough; when
the impurities have been driven out and tolled
away, the fiery broth is 'seasoned,' as it were,
with the proper amount of carbon, Spiegel, fer
romanganese, tungsten, ferrosilicon, vanadium,
or whatever' is necessary to give the desired
character to the resulting steel.
"Then comes the tapping of the furnace. An
electric ,crane lifts a great ladle into position, a
workman jams a crowbar through a clay
plugged hole at the base, and out flows the
frenzied stream into the ladle. The slag rises
to the top like oil on water, and overflows, con
gealing on the outside of the ladle. Then the
big crane picks up the ladle, swings it over to
the pouring platform, where it in its turn is
tapped and its purified fluid run off into molds.
"'Great care has to be taken in handling these
ladles, for the presence of a few drops of mois
ture when the "hot metal is poured into one
might cause an explosion and lpss of life. Just
before they receive the .molten metal the ladles
are heated nearly white hot in order that the
steel or iron may not chill in them.
"As fast as they are filled the ladles are
swung out over the ingot molds and the liquid
steel is run into them and allowed to cool and
take its form. It is as if water were poured
into molds and set in a refrigerating machine
to freeze into blocks of ice. The only differ
ence is that the 'freezing' point of steel is away
above the boiling point of water.
. "There are two other important types of
steel furnaces the crucible furnace and the
electric furnace. In both of them the idea is to
keep all hurtful gases and other impurities out
and to regulate the addition of alloys and oxy
gen destroyers to a nicety. In a crucible fur
nace the metal is placed in graphite clay pots,
covers are put over them, and the pots subject
ed to great heat. Silica is gradually absorbed
out oithe clay in the pots and transformed into
silicon by coming into contact with the carbon
in the steel. The silicon in its turn absorbs the
oxygen and thus quiets the frothing, foaming
contents of the kettle.
"The electric furnace acts in much the'same
way, its heat being so pure that there is no ne
cessity of putting the steel in covered pots to'
keep out gases and other impurities. An. elec
tric ar,c, established between huge electrodes
and the surface of the slag, produces the heat
in such a furnace. By varying the materials
used in the formation of the slag ,any impurity
can be wooed off and the glowing steel left as
.pure as crystal. . The alloys are then mixed
with the steel and it is made fit for any use de
sired. It is drawn off into ladles and poured
into ingot molds, where it hardens, ready to be
worked up into those" things ' that constitute
the last word in fine steel."
Revising the Prohibition
Calendar
i
The decision of the . Ohio supreme court that
there pan be no valid ratification of the prohibi
tion' amendment by the state without a favoring
vote of the people is firmly based upon the local
referendum law, which has already been upheld
by the supreme court of the United States.
To be effective, amendments to the constitu
tion must be approved by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the states. The point Taised in
Ohio and now again sustained is that under the
referendum the legislature of that state consists
of the senate, the house, and tie people. As the
people have not yet been consulted, the ratifica
tion by the senate and house alone is not con
clusive. ,
When Acting Secretary of State Polk issued
a proclamation on the 29th of last January an
nouncing the adoption of the amendment as of
January 16, the legislatures of thirty-six states,
precisely the number needed, had given it their
approval. Of these, eight, in addition to Ohio,
have referendum laws, and all are preparing to
apply them. In two besides Ohio namely,
Washington and Nebraska the courts have
sustained the contention that popular assent is
.necessary to ratification.
These proceedings open up the gratifying
prospect that a revolutionary change in ' the
organic law brought about by arbitrary methods
is at length to be reviewed by the people of
certain states. If all of the referendum states
should reject the amendment at the ballot box,
however, it' would still prevail, for thirty-six
others have approved it under the forms of
law; but such an expression could hardly fail
to have far-reaching influences.
Of more immediate interest is the bearing of
those issues upon the date when prohibition
takes effect The amendment provides that this
shall be one year after ratification. Omitting
Ohio, to say nothing of other states, there had
been no ratification when Acting Secretary
Polk issued his proclamation. Unless the
supreme court of the United States reverses
itself when the Ohio case comes before it on
approval, there will have to be a revision of the
prohibition calendar. New York World.

tor of The Bee: This nation was or
ganized because of "taxation with
out representation," and must not
become disorganized for same rea
son in city, state or national affairs.
Concerning our welfare there is
nothing in the constitution to pre
vent "permanent entangling alli
ances," but that is all the more rea
son why the government should dif
ferentiate between a war neace
treaty and an international alliance
based on permanency if possible.
Nothing of this nature, to the extent
now proposed, was ever figured upon
In framing our constitution; in fact
Washington's mandatories on the
subject prove the contrary:
Since, therefore, the two proposi
tions were interwoven by the will of
a few, it Is not representative that
they shall remain so without the
consent of all the people. Hence,
too, if perhaps because it would em
barrass our present and the world's
future to separate them at this late
day of concluding the war peace
treaty (the first business at hand)
and the combined documents can be
made to safeguard our constitution
and institutions through amend
ments by the senate, acting upon the
voice of all the people as they, hon
estly and without partisanship, hear
it, then and then only will it be right
so to do. Otherwise all the people
must be let in to voice by their vote
to what extent they favor or disfa
vor the proposition that reaches far
ther than the constitution provides

JOSEPH MEINRATH.
Woman Tells Story.
Council Bluffs, Oct. 8. To the
Editor of The Bee: In regard to
farmers and labor: These days If a
farmhand doesn t work 14 hours he
never does anything. They figure
10 hours in the field. Whatever you
must do when you get out of the
field, that's donation. If the farm
ers don't want eight hours let them
pay for all overtime, then the la
borer will be getting just his due.
That's all. Then there won't be man
shortage in farm labor and plenty of
stuff. Also who is it that raises the
crops if It isn't the laborer? He does
the work while the farmer does the
talking and spinning around in his
new super six. There are plenty of
people who would raise thir fami
lies on a farm if they only had half
a chance. They will promise lots
of things till they get you, and give
nothing when they do get you. You
can't quit because you can't scrape
up money enough to move, and the
farmer knows it. He should worry.
You hear the farmers holler about
the high cost of living, but they don't
like to say anything about the hog
problem when they're getting $22
per hunifred, but the poor fellow
across the street can go. away back
and sit down, because he's got to pay
the same for eatables as the farmer
'does after he raised the farmer's
hogs. The farmers of today have
been spoiled. They want it all now,
and they are getting it.. From a

can't get enough ahead to leave.

Editor of The Bee: - So long as the

crime you commit (except the sin
against the iloly Ghost) that you
can be tol-given for the crime just
so long will the. world in general

"THE GIRL IN THE TOWER."
(When Rollo, tha monkay, tella Peggy
and Billy about a beautiful maiden who
is Imprisoned in a tower, they go to
tha rescue.)
CHAPTER III.
Perfectly Prim and Proper.
THE screams of the girl In the
tower ceased as suddenly as
they had begun. Rollo, the monkey,
who had frightened her by climbing
the rain water pipe and appearing
at" her window, . gave an anxious
squeak.
"She has fallen over on the floor
and is all white," he screamed to

could. But they were not the "run

trouble they wanted to straighten
the trouble out.
"Pull up the rope ladder," said
Billy to Rollo in a loud whisper.
The monkey drew in the fish line
that was fastened to his belt Fast
ened to it was the rope ladder. Rollo
threw the end of the ladder over the
high post of the girl's brass bed, and
Billy went up the swaying ropes
hand over hand and foot over foot.
Peggy followed him quickly, though
she was frightened by the height of
the tower and the way the frail lad
der swung back and forth over
empty space.
The girl in the tower, wondrous
fair even in her chalk-white pale
ness, lay where she had fallen.
"Is she dead?" whispered Peggy.
"No. She has only fainted," an
swered Billy, who was already rub
bing the girl's wrists to get her
blood flowing. At that moment the
girl's eyes fluttered open and she
sat up, looking at them with staring
eyes.
"What are you? Fairies?" she
murmured. Then she caught sight of
Rollo, the monkey, who was grin
ning and chattering with delight
now that he knew she wasn't dead.
"Oh, there's that awful goblin! Save
me, Fairies!" she gasped, clutching
Billy and Peggy by the hands.
"Why, that's only Rollo, the mon
key. He has come to help us rescue
you," answered Peggy.
"Rescue me?" said the girl in sur

feet. "Oh, you dear, dear fairies,

will you take me out of this lonely
tower and beyond the tangled wood
and over the great stone wall so
that I may see what the world Is
like? Take me, take me, even
though it be for just one hour!"
"Of course we will take you.
That's what we came for," declared
Billy.
But as quickly as It had come the
eager look died out of the girl's
eyes and the sadness deepened in
her face.
"But do you think it would be per
fectly prim and proper?" she asked.
"What do you mean, perfectly
prim and proper?" demanded Billy.
"Why, perfectly prim and proper
la the way I have been raised by my
perfectly prim and proper ,Aunt
1'rue ever since my father and
mother died when I was a small
child years ago," explained the girl.
"Everything I do is perfectly prim
and proper, all the books I read are
perfectly prim and proper, every
person I see is perfectly prim and
proper. And that's why I have spent
the 18 years of my life in my per
fectly prim and proper room in this
perfectly prim and proper castle,
and I'll be here until I grow up Into
a perfectly prim and proper woman
and marry a perfectly prim and
proper rich old man In a perfectly

Penelope, the perfectly prim and
proper girl."
"And don't you go outside the cas
tle?" demanded Billy.
"No, because Aunt Prue says
there are so many persons there who
are not perfectly prim and proper,"
sighed the girl.
"And haven't you ever had any
play or fun?" asked Peggy.
"What are play and fun?" asked
Penelope. They don't sound perfect
ly prim and proper but they do
sound nice," she added.
"Huh! She Is 18 years old and
doesn't know what play and fun
are," snorted Billy. "This prison is
worse than I thought it was. Come
with us and we will set you free!"
"Free? Is that perfectly prim
and proper?" questioned the girl.
"Come and see!" cried Billy.
Penelope hesitated a moment.
Then she gave Peggy and Billy each
a hand. "The fairies I have read
about in my books have always been

How Much Oil Not What Price
The wearing quality, not the price the
protection it gives your engine and the
power efficiency it maintains these con
siderations should govern motor oil selec
tion. They measure the true economy of
high grade Polarine Oil over cheaper, less
efficient lubricants.
Polarine not only lasts longer gives more
miles of operation per gallon but it gives
an engine better protection. It retains its
body and lubricity practically unchanged
at all engine heats. It provides an oil film
that keeps compression tight and gets
every possible ounce of power from the
explosive force of the gases. It is the
year round lubricant for motoring satis
faction, economy and efficiency.
Buy Polarine where you buy Red Crown
Gasoline, the economical, clean-burning
motor fuel at first class garages and
service stations where you see this sign.
