An Omaha minister announces as the topic
for his . discourse this -evening, "Work or
Starve." We do not know in advance how he
will treat this subject, save as we know him to
be a man of judgment ripened by experience.
If The Bee were to set about to preach on ttie
point, however, it would not be to lay down a
harsh, forbidding rnaicini, embodying the
thought, but to present if possible the at
tractive side of the thought of productive effort.
The greatest impulse of animate nature is
to produce. Man's dawning idea of the super
natural Had to do with the phenomena of crea
tion, and his earliest conception of God took
the form of a power that could do those things
that are beyond man's ability. As increasing in
telligence brought a clearer understanding of
the relations between the Creator and bis crea
tures, the faculty of producing assumed a nobler
aspect. When man carved a rock or built a
hut, or set up a palace, or did anything in which
his skill and inventive genius was called on, he
felt himself akin to God and expressing the
divinity within hinv His "work was more than
his means of living, it was his life.
Thcough failure to appreciate this, toil be
comes, drudgery, and existence sordid, simply
because maif works only to live, to secure
means whereby to gratify his appetites, to sat
isfy his desire for amusement, for pleasure, for
idleness. He has smothered the godlike im
pulse of creation in the grossness of idle en
joyment. . Instead of the rare and elevating
sentiment that follows work welt done, with
its exaltation of mind and spirit, envy' and
Covetousnrss are more often seen, and satisfac
tion i sunk In a desire to have more than an
other. , .
This spirit must be eradicated.. Man must
be restored to his proud place as a producer, a
creator, a bringer forth of good and useful
things, if the world is tai be purged of its mis
ery. He must learn that industry is the only
true way to happiness; that the real joy of life
is in doing something useful. Work or starve
is a hard rule, but it is nature's law.
, 4 Sothern and Marlowe.
The binary star, two worlds revolving
around a common center, is always a source of
interest. Each might have held an orbit of its
own sufficient to itself, and following the law
of nature, in solitary grandeur have pursued a
magnificent sweep through the realms of space.
But, drawn by some mysterious influence, until
they traverse a common track, progressing to
gether to their destiny but always faithful to the
attraction that binds them, these double stars
afford examples of the majesty and grandeur of
a great scheme of things surpassing human un
derstanding and only feebly explained by the
little rules laid down by mathematicians. We
know they4are, and we marvel.
Something of th is may be applied to the
happy conjunction of E. II. Sothern and Julia
Marlowe. Each has won a high place in the
annals of the American stage; each was suc
cessful as an individual star, and might have
so continued, Charles Frohman conceived the
experimental idea of bringing them together,
and with a result that must have surpassed hi?
own and even their expectations. No com.
bination in all the history of the American stage,
not excepting that of Booth and Barrett, has
been more productive of good results for the art
and dignity of acting.
Miss Marlowe comes back from a period of
rest, refreshed and brighter than ever in the
luminosity of her personality. She holds those
qualities that Sothern seemed to lack, and af
fords the perfect complement to his nature
and judgment. Between them they have worked
out ways to touch the deeper springs that lie in
Shakespeare's splendid dramas, and through the
rare and admirable faculty of combining the ar
tistic with the practical, give the public such
results as add new life to the poetry of the
Bard, of Avon, No innovations, mind you, nor
tricks of the theater, but a sincere effort to
humanizf the plays and win again for thrm
the respect of the studious.
How well they have succeeded is proven at
the theater, where they so charmingly and con
vincingly prese their thought of what the
drama sould be. America has presented the
world no more capable exponents of the art of
acting than Sothern and Marlowe in their equal
partnership. " i

'Governor Lowden Makes His
Political Bow to Omaha
It stems that Omaha is to be "on the beaten
track of the procession of presidential possibili
ties. We. had Senator Johnson and Senator
Eorah here last fall trailing the president's
eage-of-Nations tour, and Gen. Leonard Wood
has been in and out a number of times.
General Pershing did US the honor of stopping
off twice on his recent trip of inspection and
this last week brought the opportunity to take
a look at Governor Crank O. Lowden. Those
who came in contact with him discovered a
man of most pleasing personality, and his shott
talk at the University club luncheon outlining
the business problems confronting the govern
ment and emphasizing the importance of the
business, of government evoked a very hearty
response. Governor Lowden is plainly a man
who makes friends and holds them. He has
several staunch admirers here who go back to
college-day association at the University of
Icava in Iowa City. Then arain, it must be re
membered that, when the late Henry D. Esta
brpok and Judge Herbert J. Davis removed
from Omaha to Chicago in themiddle nineties,
they set up as law partners of Governor Low
den under the firm name of "Lowden, Estabrook
& Davis." w hose office became the drop-in place
of friends of the two popular Omaha attorneys,
where they naturally met the senior member and
recognized his likable qualities,

the exchange of npse and throat dis

Some Flu Don A
den rests on our membership at the same time
in the republican national committee in which
he represented the- state of Illinois for two
terms. In the successful 1908 campaign we
were both on the executive committee and held
forth in adjoining offices at national head'
quarters, frequently consulting on matters that
came up in our respective departments. Thip
much 1 ran say. that if Governor Lowden goes
into the White House the country will have an
executive of sane and balanced judgment, al
ways approachable to those who have helpful
suggestions, but firm and set when a decision is
made, a man who goes through, who stays on
the job, who lives up to the square deal.
In times goiie by nearly every pretentious
newspaper used to get out an almanac or
statistical digest with' each recurring year, but
most of then 'have fallen by the wayside, with
two notable exceptions that have been
perpetuated and standardized, the New York
World Almanac and the Chicago Daily News
Year Book. The? two volumes are our almost
indispensable epitomes of information on all
sorts of subjects relating to the political, .indus
trial, legislative, judicial, and civic structure of
the country and events of the preceding twelve
months. They are the handy reference books in
constant use in every real newpaper office be
cause they make accessible facts and figures
which otherwise would have to be dug out of
scores of government reports and dozens of
reference works. I do not suppose they are
counted among the six best sellers but, for the
spread of general intelligence, they ought to be.
Garner and Hta "Monkey Talk."
Announcement 'of the death of Richard L.
Garner will revive interest in his work with
monkeys. His studies led him to think it rea
sonable that the anthropoid apes had some
method for communicating emotions, impulses,
and intention., and that this, method might be
an approach to a spoken language. To estab
lish this theory, he immured himself deep in
the Congo forest, where he studied the habits
of the monkeys. Living in utmost solitude, his
home a cage that allowed the denizens of the
forest to come near but not to reach him, he
dwelt there long enough to allow his subjects
to become accustomed to his presence, and
outwardly at least to live as not in the presence
of man. ' From this . experience he concluded
that monkeys did talk to one another, that cer
tain sounds mingled with their chatter- really
possessed intelligible value, and did convey in
formation from one to another. He classified
seme of these and published as glossary on his
return, showing the equivalent, of the sounds
he had separated from the jabber of the apes
and recognized as root sounds, capable of con
veying definite meaning. Prof. Garner did not
lay these down as bard . and fast demonstra
tions, but as wrthin the ange, of probability,
needing further demonstration before finally
being accepted. . His- work along this line has j
been the subject of much good humored or
thoughtless raillery, but he did contribute con
siderably to science in other ways, and while
the world will think . of him as the "monkey
talk" enthusiast, his colleagues will-recall him
as -an earnest student, whose research- really
added much to the sum of human knowledge.
..the constitution provides a way to enact'
laws despite the veto of the president. But
theris is no way to make a treaty against the
veto of the president, v If there should be in
the White House a president who did not wish
tq make peace after his treaty had been changed
by the senate, it might happen that the United
States would be unable to reach a state of
peace, except on terms laid down by a single
individual, and in defiance of congress. There
might be a president so wedded to his own plan,
so entangled by promises to foreign govern
ments or so jealous of the rights of the senate
that he would refuse to exchange ratifications
of a peace treaty if the senate had made reser
vations in behalf of this nation. The reserva
tions might be desirable and warmly approved
by the people, but such a president could say,
"I do not accept the action of the senate as
the will of the people, and I refuse to approve
I t. j 4 i. .i .t, I of the senate's work." He would be within his

I have an advanced copy of a revised up-to-date
edition of Sheldon's "History and Stories
of Nebraska," just issued, which should en
trench the use of this captivating little book
in supplement to the school work in Nebraska.
At the time it was originally published I asked
and secured permission to reprint parts of it in
The Bee as a feature of our Children's pa?e
because it made the history of our state so
readable in story form. Some things in the
volume, however, are curious to observe, as for
example the presentation of Mr. Bryan as Ne
braska's contribution to national politics with
an account of his being named for president
in the 1896 democratic national covention, and
carrying his own state, but omitting all intima
tion that he also ran two more times for the
same office, losing his own state in the second
race. On another page the author speaks of
the progress made in methods of travel and
transportation from the days . of "the Indian
squaw leading a pony over a dim trail across
the sun-baked plains with the poles of her
teppee dragging at the pony's side, or the later
slowly crawling freight wagon with its 12
yoke of oxen" till now when we "travel daily
in Nebraska by means of a thousand passenger
trains, 30,000 automobiles, and, still unsatisfied,
are just learning to spread our wings and fly
through the air." There is clearly a slip here
on the number of automobiles in the state,
which passed the 30,000 mark probably almost
10 years ago. Another inaccuracy that I notice
is with reference to the abolition of slavery by
enactment of the Nebraska legislature in 1861
and the proclamation of President Lincoln
January 1, 1863, "that all slaves in the United
States were free." This assertion emanates
from a popular misconception that the famous
emancipation proclamation set free all the
blacks held in slavery when, as a matter of fact,
it merely proclaimed that all persons held as
slaves within the states and parts of states at
that time in rebellion "are and henceforward
shall be free," which meant freedom only in the
seceding slave states and there only to the ex
tent that they were occupied by American mili
tary forces. As my father was one of the War
department telegraph operators, who transmit
ted this emancipation proclamation over the
wires to the commanding officers in the field, 1
have often' heard the point raised and discussed,
and my statement may be easily verified by
reference to the original document. These
criticisms, however, must not be taken in the
nature of fault-finding, for the little book is a
marvel of compilation and exposition.
Not many people realize the necessity of
having an accurate census. If folks would
think a moment they would understand that the
census enumeration furnishes the basis of all
our comparisons and per capita computations.
If the starting figure is wrong it throws out of
plumb all our estimates of birth rates, health
rates, marriage rates, percentage of literacy,
home owning, school attendance, and so on all
along the line. In fact, it is in these practically
constant columns that an exceptional variation
signals at once that something is amiss. The
census directly controls our representation in
congress, in the legislature and in many, other
places. What Omaha lost by padding the cen
sus of 1890 to twice what it actually should have
been and then dropping back ten years later is
incalculable. This fool performance probably
cost The Bee $50,000 in increased Associated
Press tolls, populati6n of the territory being
one of the principal factors in determining the
charge for this news service. A padded census
is doubtless more costly to a commtfiiity than
one that falls short. Exact justice of the full
and correct ount is what is needed.
Power to Veto Peace
poses be regarded as means of
transmitting of the disease.
Fortunately for us all, it should
be said that the life span of most
disease germs outside the body of
their host, i shurt exiiomire to
light, air and drying diminishes their
disease-producing power or kills
them in a comparatively s.hort time,
therefore the chain of contact with
the diseased person is readily broken
and the exchange of infected dis
charge must be recent else we would
all he infected; no one would escape.
Given the sources of infection and
the modes of transference, we have
our cue for prevention, No one
wishes to have the disease or to
Rive it to others, therefore w'e nhoul J
not pass our germs on to people we
meet or let them pass theirs to lu.
Don't give disease to others.
If you must cough or sneeze cover
your nose and mouth with your
handkerchief. Nothing is more re

than to carelessly cough or sneeno
In public, places where your mouth

touch it -you would not think of

sneezing or coughing into it Is just
as dangerous for him, if not for
yourself.
Don't carry your hands to your

More preventive care is crowded inta

than any . other three in the dic

for any one, and even a' few degrees
less is better when you become used
to it. If you ride on the street cars
don't fuss with the conductor if the
ventilators are kept open.
Avoid persons who cought and
sneeze or who indulge in moist con
versation. . Improve your health
standard. Avoid getting tired if you
can. Co to bed early. Eat your
meals regularly and slowly.
Gargling or nose-spraying is not
necessary, A regular use of the
tooth brush with a good dentrince

Finally don't get unduly alarmed
don't worry but use every pre'

Omaha, Jan. 34. To the Editor
of The Bee: When I began taking
the census for the Second praoinct
el the Seventh ward on the 2d day
of January some asked me why I
took the Job., One reason I took it
is because I know how to do the
work well and in an expeditious
manner. Since doing the work I
have been told that I am the chem
pion census enumerator tor the rit.v
of Omaha. Be that as it may. I
went into it with the determination
of making a great showing on my
part, and in doing the wdvk I raked
the district with a rlne tooth comb.
In taking the census I had mere fun
and pleasure than I have had in
seven years, and the exercise gave
me an appetite like a pig.
But one lady asked me ta take
off myi overshoes. I tetd her it
would take me a month to do the
work and take off my overshoes
every time I went to a house. When
she knew who. I wee she was too
kind for anj use. I had the door
slammed in my face about a dozen
times by women ho did not under.
Stand .me, but when their children
or neighbors, told them what I was
after they were willing to give me
the required Information. At one
place I asked the lady who came to
tho door and admitted me who was
the head of the family. She gave
me the name of her' husband and
answered all the questions until I
asked her hie occupation. She Bald:
"Why, he' is dead." I told her I was
not after dead people. '
My biggest day was Monday, Jan
uary 5, when I only had to go to
one house .a second time and se.
cured 281 names up' to 6:30 o'clock.
I was up several nights working on
the census sheet until 1 o'clock,
and one night v until 1:30 o'clock.
But I kept up in . greet shape on einly
about six hours' sleep and a lot of
strenuous work that would make
young men complain of being tired.
I did not work ortany eight-hour
system, for if 1 had it would have
taken me a month to get through.
The younger men wltp are always
howling for an eight-hour day and
even less ought to take )iome lessons
from a man of 60, who was so puny
when he was young that4 many said
he would die of consumption before
he waa 21, and who spit-blood the
lust year he lived in Uhnols. If
would he better for the country if
we were back to tha 10-hour system,
for more of everything needed
would be produced and there would
not be so much time wasted at the
ninny one-horse picture shows. One
leading paper recently said there is
too much loafing in the United
States today, and that is just what
is the matter with he whole world
today, too much loafing and not
enough of earnest, hard work. Many
of the labor leaders, who do noth
ing but sit down and smoke, draw
their breath and salaries, ought to
be sent where Emma Goldman is
and the real workingmen take
charge of their own organizations.
In taking the census I was greatly
impressed with the very smart chil
dren of the Polish people. It has
beer, a long while since 1 have seen
so many smart youngsters, and the
boys and girls of American-born
parents may well look to their
laurels in the future when the boys
and girls of Polish parents grow to
manhood and womanhood, for many
of them are going to be very smart
people.
Many of the little Polish children
shook hands with nie and waved
their hands at me through the win
dows when I was leaving their
homes after getting their names, I
joked many of the little fellows by
telling them I would know their
names before I left the.m.
Aa a little boy I greedily read of
the valorous deeds of the gallant
Kosciuszko and tha brave Count
Pulaski in helping our revolutionary
army in the nick of time and have
always read of them with a great
deal of admiration", while I have al
ways read with a great deal of scorn
of the dastardly manner in which
the Polish nation was destroyed by
Germany, Austria and Russia. It
pleased me much that Poland is
