HOME RULE FOR OMAHA.
The Bee has added another paragraph to its
list of desirable things to the accomplishment
of which it will devote special effort. This is
home rule for the city of Omaha, with a city
manager form of government.
Home rule is not a novel proposition for
Omaha, although it yet is thought of only as a
hope deferred. From the beginning of things
it has been required that the city go to Lincoln
whenever it wants to do anything. At the out
set this worked little inconvenience and perhaps
no hardship. Omaha has always been the
metropolis, but its housekeeping affairs have run
on fairly well in line with those arranged for
other communities by the general law. Long
ago, however, it was found necessary to put
the city into a special class, created in conform
ity with the constitutional provisions, but re
ceiving the benefit or restraint of laws that
apply to no other community in the state.
Out of this situation has grown a condition
that is not advantageous either to the city or to
the state. The Omaha city charter is granted
by the legislature. True, the lawmaking body
has been disposed at all times to give us what
we asked for, but the decision frequently has
been reached only after a considerable part of
the time of the legislature and its committees
has been occupied in dealing with things that
ought to be attended to at home. On the other
side, the rapidly developing growth of the com
munity has frequently brought difficulties be
cause of the hampering restrictions of the char
ter, which only could be removed by going to
Lincoln, and relief from which had to await the
convention of the general assembly.
Thii state of affairs should be remedied.
Home rule is within reach of the citizens, and
ought to be taken on as a domestic responsibil
ity, for the relief of the state as well as for the
advantage of the city.
The adoption of a form of government by
; which the business of the city will be handled
" by a city manager is confidently suggested as a
way to more efficient government. To have the
' executive and administrative authority vested
in a single head is merely to adopt the system
by which the United States is governed, and to
which every success in business may be traced.
It is the natural outgrowth of the commission
form of government, and where it has been
adopted has brought benefits of better service
at lower cost.
These proposals from time to time will be
given such exposition as will familiarize our
readers with them, to the end that when adopted
the public will be prepared in all ways for the
change. Discussion is invited, and criticism as
well, that the matter may finally be wholly un-
derstood. Our next city election should be held
under a home rule charter, and the chief officer
after that time should be the city manager,
i
Lamentations of a Loser, j
In commenting on the vote which uprooted
him as democratic national committeeman for
Nebraska, Arthur Mullen takes occasion to de
plore the breaking down of party lines under
the primary system. This manifestation of the
voter's ability to discriminate when given the
opportunity is one of the foreseen results of
the primary. That it would be destructive to
party organization was apparent from the first.
In fact, the proponents of the primary plan set
forward this very fact, although, not in exact
form, as one of their strongest arguments for
its adoption. To let the people rule was the
great end they had in view, and if the people
occasionally make apparently captious exercise
of the power, who is to complain? Surely not
the defeated candidate, especially not one of the
party whose leaders laid the greatest emphasis
on the demand for a free and unrestricted op
portunity for the voters to decide for them
selves who should run. It is conceivable that
party discipline will in some way survive the
shock, and that responsible party government
may endure, even with the tendency of the citi
zenry now and then to go to the polls with a
firm determination to rebuke some individual
candidate whose course has not had general ap
proval. Brother Mullen may console himself
with the reflection that, if he is convinced
republican voters decided his fate, some on the
other side are equally certain that democrats
and nonpartisans settled a few of the questions
that perplexed republicans. It is always good
policy, after the votes are cast and counted, to
accept the result and wait for the next time.
Japan's Financial Flurry.
Ten days ago came word that a great bank
in Japan had failed, dragging other financial in
stitutions down with it, and causing a general
panic. Then no word from the Flowery King
dom for a week except that the Tokio Stock
exchange has been closed for three days be
cause of a smashing tumble in stocks.
Now we hear that Japan has been entirely
up to date in speculation in stocks, steel, silk,
cotton, banks and shipbuilding, along with many
foreign projects. Even a "corner" in rice was
put ever that all but started a revolution among
the poor, and millionaires blossomed on scores
of industrial cherry trees.
It is not surprising. The Jap is an ex
tremely clever fellow. He has studied the
United Suites, and its financial habits are
model for him. Why should he not make
money playing the market? Like nearly all
Oriental races the Japanese dearly love a gam
ble, and with a paper currency not any too
strongly fortified by gold reeserves, heavy army
and naval expenses, and a serious boycott on
her trade in Clfina, the cards were marked for
a smash. It came; but with a cunning unwise
as a financial policy, the details seem to be pur
posely withheld, which is likely to be more in
jurious than beneficial in the long run to Japan's
world credit.
Fifty-Cent Sugar Predicted.
Before the war sugar was sold five or six
pounds for 25 cents granulated at that. Now
it's in the air that it will go to 50 cents a pound.
Senator Capper talked hotly of the present sit
uation and future prospect of this commodity
Saturday. After denouncing the speculation in
sugar, the shipments to Europe, and the plans
of the refiners for robbing the people, he calls
on the government to seize every stock in the
country for distribution to the public at cost,
even while he charged the administration with
permitting tin people to be fleeced for out
rageous sugar prices without putting a curb on
the "grand larceny in daytime" now practiced
daily.
In Philadelphia retailers contented with one
eighth of a cent a pound profit on sugar before
the war, are pocketing 50 per cent, selling sugar
bought at wholesale for 17 cents at 25 cents a
pound. And while this is going on, the Kansas
senator says the speculators and profiteers in
sugar "are known, but go unhung." The gov
ernment is idle and indifferent, but the people
are urged to buy war savings stamps to enable
the spendthrift administration at Washington to
live in nine-billion-dollar style on a six-billion
income.
It is indeed a time of widespread extortion,
particularly in sugar and cotton, both profitable
to the south. Senator Capper says the "spread"
in cotton materials between the plantation and
the consumer has reached about 1,800 per cent
an amazing extortion due to speculation and
profiteering.
Silas A. Holcomb.
Another important figure in Nebraska public
life has been touched by the finger of death,
Silas A. Holcomb, who served the state as
judge of the district court, governor, judge of
the supreme court and member of the Board of
Control. In all of these official capacities Judge
Holcomb brought to his duties the full power
of a well balanced mind, an extensive knowledge
of human affairs, and a. sympathetic understand
ing of the problems that confronted him. He
was governor of the state at a critical time,
having to deal with some very knotty questions,
and if he did not succeed in solving them all,
he at least dealt with them as wisdom and
prudence dictated and not for expediency alone.
His record as executive was such as justified
his later elevation to the supreme bench, where
his legal knowledge and his judicial balance
were of decided benefit to the administration of
law and justice in Nebraska. Retiring because
of failing health, he was again called to serve
with the first Board of Control, and again aided
In improving conditions at the various institu
tions of the state through the application of his
experience and wisdom. His retirement from
the board was finally forced by his broken
strength and he sought the comfort of a daugh
ter's home in another state, where his days
were ended. Silas A. Holcomb's name will be
recorded among those of Nebraskans who were
eminently useful to the state during their lifetime.
Want More Out-of-Town Money.
Announcement is made that theater .tickets
will go to $4 'and $5 for a single seat in New
York at the opening of the fall season. As Bob
Ingersoll said, "the past rises before us like a
dream," and we remember when $1.50 or $2
would buy excellent New York scats on the
main floor, and 75 cents or $1 pay for the best
seats in the first balcony. One theatrical pro
ducer in New York says $5 seats will ruin the
business; that prices should be reduced, and at
once, instead of being raised. He is right.
The theater is not a necessity in the sense
that one must attend it either occasionally or
regularly; It is not like sugar, flour and meat.
A man may live without it. If he feels he must
have dramatic entertainment, the moving pic
ture shows afford a fairly satisfactory substitute
for musical comedies and the spoken drama.
And there are a hundred, perhaps a thousand,
screen performances in comfortable theaters to
one of the kind now seeking to "prepare" the
public for higher priced tickets. In other
words, four and five-dollar shows of the sort we
used to see for two dollars or less, now have
real competition. Doubtless this fact is what
impels Mr. W. A. Brady, who knows a lot about
theaters and the theater-going public, because
tie controls many theaters, to say that $5 a seat
will kill the business.
Selling Their Incomes Short.
Many admirable qualities constitute good
citizenship, so many that a book presenting
them all with their collateral application to the
individual, his associates and the state would be
a volume of large size. No less paper would be
required on which to set forth the many kinds
of unwise and evil conduct that make a man
poor or a bad citizen.
At the present time one phase of poor citi
zenship is illustrated by those who are doing
less than a full day's work and spending more
than they are getting. Such men are a social
liability. Among them may also be classed those
already spending profits not yet earned.
Thrift is one of the first qualifications of a
good citizen, because upon it depend not only
his own independence and self-respect, but to a
large extent the opportunities of his family.

housing situation and end rent profiteering are

go back to the blanket and "gee-string" and

ACCORDING to the Trib, "Cantwell went

AMERICAN PRINCIPLES.
(Huxley, "On the Natural Inequality of Men.")
Men are certainly not born free and equal
in natural qualities; when they are born, the
predicates "free" and "equal" in the political
sense are not applicable to them; and as they
develop year by year, the difference in the po
litical potentialities with which they really are
born become more and more obviously con
verted into actual differences; the inequality
of political faculty shows itself to be a necessary
consequence of the inequalities of natural fac
ulty. It is probably true that the earliest men
were nomads. But among? a body of naked wan
dering savages, though there be no verbally
recognized distinctions of rank or office, su
perior strength and cunning confer authority of
a more valid kind than that secured by Acts of
Parliament; there may be no property in things,
but the witless man will be poverty-stricken in
ideas, the clever man will be a capitalist in that
same commodity, which in the long run buys
alt other commodities; one will miss opportuni
ties, the other will make them; and, proclaim
human equality as loudly as you like. Witless
will serve his brother. So long as men are men
and society is society, human equality will be a
dream; and the assumption that it does exist is
as untrue in fact as it sets the mark of im
practicability on every theory of what ought to
be, which starts from it.

How to Keep Well
By Dr. W. A. EVANS
SCIENCE REPLACES MAGIC.
This Is the season for rheumatic
fever. Beware!
Not only is the disease important
of Itself but it frequently leads to
heart disease and heart disease is
now our most fatal malady. A
study made by Lambert in Bellevue
hospital indicates that rheumatic
fever during four years was one and
a half times as prevalent during
March, April and May as during
June, July and August, twice as pre
valent as during December, Janu
ary and February, and six times as
prevalent as during September,
October and November.
This is almost enough to establish
that rheumatism is a seasonal dis
ease to about the same extent that
typhoid, pneumonia, measles and
smallpox are. -
By rheumatic fever is meant the
old fashioned rheumatism the kind
for which our forefathers carried in
their pockets buckeyes and Irish po
tatoes. According to Edwards, one-eighth
of the cases are preceded by ton
sillitis. Edwards wrote before, great
attention had been concentrated on
the tonsils, gums, and teeth. Look
ing at the tonsils and teeth more
closely as they do at the present
time the cause is much more fre
quently located in the mouth. Our
forefathers carried their buckeyes in
the wrong places. They should have
kept them in the crypts of their ton
sils or the cavities in their teeth.
Rheumatism is characterized by
fever, profuse sweats, and pain and
swelling in one or more large joints.
The disposition of the disease to
jump from one Joint to another is
well recognized. In fact the rheu
matics themselves are suspicious of
any inflammation which sticks to one
Joint. It is much more liable to be
something besides rheumatism.
An acute attack of rheumatism
commonly last about four weeks.
The fever having subsided the man
is somewhat lame for several months.
He is lucky if a careful examination
of his heart, made at this time, does
not show that the disease has af
fected his heart.
To prevent the disease a person
who is subject to rheumatism should
have his teeth cleaned and polished
at least once during this rheumatic
season. If he has tonsil trouble he
should have them removed or at
least cleaned up and massaged. If
he has chronic suppuration in his
nasal sinuses or elsewhere he will do
well to give it proper attention.
According to the older viows he
should wear flannel underwear and
flannel bands, especially around the
joints most liable to develop the
trouble.
Lambert's finding that there is
more rheumatism during June, July
August, than during December,
January, February, gives the chilling
theory considerable jolt. More re
cent investigations tend to lessen our
fear of local chlllings as a cause of
rheumatism, but no one is justified
in leaving off his flannels during the
rheumatism season until the evi
dence is more complete.

A Primary Puzzler.
Gretna. Neb., April ' 23, To the
Editor of The Bee: fuppono two
nominees, A and B, are both run
ning on the republican ballot at the
primary election for the same office;
B defeats A, and as there are no
candidates on the democratic ballot
the democrats write A's name on
their ballots. Can A then legally
run on tho democratic ticket at tho
fall election for the same ofilco?
A. L. W.
Answer: He can. Nothing In tho
law prevents a man from running on
both tickets hs a candidate forythe
same office, but the supremo court
has held that he must decido which
nomination ho will accept in event
he is fortunate in securing both. In
this Instance the candidate has been
named by but one piirty, and Is
clearly the nominee of that party,
regardless of his expressed affiliation.

your teeth several times a day with
a brush and a cleaning compound.
Supplement the use of the brush by
using a cloth wrapped around the
index finger. Have all cavities filled.
Eat less sugar, candy, sweets and
soft starchy foods.
2. Strengthen tho muscles of
your foot and lowet, leg by exer

Geneva, Neb., April SI. To the
Editor of The Bee: Since the prl

great deal of complaint against tho
primary law and it seems as though
tho complaint was Justified. It ia
to be hoped that ths next legisla
ture will repeal the law. Of course,
we all know that the old convention
system had become corrupt, but the
prlniury has become more corrupt
tlimi the convention system ever
was. That Is shown In tho last re
sult of last Tuesday's election. There
were many voters who went into tho
primary, asked for a democratic bal
lot and voted for Bryan and his delo
pates who were republicans. They
were anxious to defeat Hitchcock's
plan for light beer and wines. Then
tho results show that democrats
went into the primary and voted
for Johnson because of his extreme
radicalism. Under the old conven
tion system McKelvie would not
have received the nomination nor
would he have come any ways near
It. Under the old system Nobrinrtca's
delegation to the natlonul conven
tion would have been instructed for
Wood. Tha democrats who wont
