To a great majority of Omaha's many thou sands Br. George L. Miller is but a name. In- iirmity due to advancing years forced him long "l .ago to withdraw from active participation in the affairs of the city he did so much to create and foster, and he has been lost sight of by all but the older residents, who knew him when in li possession of his strength and vigor, and when ' he daily, hourly, unselfishly exerted all his pow ers and genius for the common weal. He is al most the last of that little group of devoted enthusiasts who as pioneers laid the foundation of the city, and buildcd far' better than they knew. It is a remarkable and gratifying fact that most of these lived to see their utmost vision more than realized, and even to share in some measure in the great rewards that came from their earlier labors. - Dr. Miller camt here to practice medicine, but soon gave up that honorable profession to engage in frontier journalism. In this he found his true calling, and whatever distinction he might have gained in the way of his ability as a : healer was forgotten long ago in the greater honor that came to him as a leader of public thought, a champion of public morals, and a sturdy, courageous champion of what to him seemed right. It is not possible here to record all that Dr. Miller did for the city of his adop tion and his pride. We may, however, with propriety mention the great share he had in securing the location of the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific road and its crossing of the Missouri at Omaha; his part in, developing the public school systems, and his monumental serv ice in securing the public parks, now a relfty but to him only a dream when he becn h;s active effort to make them possible; y When misfortune came to him ihis later rears, he met the blows with hyj, courage. His last days were passed in JSbnorable se clusion, a faithful niece ministering w;tj1 loving-, tender care to his needs, andfrienis who did t vtntinfr iwliati;.v. f -r it os.ai-" iVJ'iuCWlU :".vier oi comion iney might. Those who were privileged to know him in his active days will cherish memories of a man of genial optimism, loved and trusted for his strength of character, his probity and hon orable espousal of high ideals. Omaba itself is his monument and memorial. Uniformity of State Laws. ' The American Bar association at its St. Louis convention last week again considered the ques tion of establishing uniformity of legislation be tween the states. This is one of the perennial questions, and perhaps will remain so for a long time. Foreigners, unfamiliar with our form of government, are occasionally bewildered and not infrequently perplexed by the variance of state laws. They can not understand why what is permitted in Maine is forbidden in Louisiana, or why Iowa should view a matter from one angle and Nebraska from another. In no other way is the federal aspect of the United States made more clear. It has an advantage, too. The dif ference between Maine and Louisiana, for ex ample, is not entirely comprehended by jeography. Habits 'of thought vary, and the laws of the several states are reckoned with as embodying the common sense of most, not of the nation as a whole, but of the people of that particular state. On points of uniform concern, in which all the people of the nation are equally interested, the federal law is of service; matters that belong exclusively to the citizens of any of the forty-eight states rightfully are left to them for adjustment, and out of the variety of views held in relation to subjects for statutory regu lation is bound to arise a certain divergence of !ys. -To secure a happy correspondence in this regard, and so do away with confusion and mis understandings, it will be necessary to get all the people of all the states to agree, and that is likely to subvert much that now serves to make our nation really great and strong. Hanan's Shoes. John Hanan, who died in New York last week, made good shoes, as everybody who ever ore a pair of them knows. It was because of this fact that he became wealthy. Good work, and good work only, is what is wanted in this country in every trade, industry and profes sion. And those who do good work get along, buiMing up business and reputation together. Every city in the country suffers from slip shod, shabby and dishonest work of a part of its population, done by men whose thoughts are all on s-ettintT extravagant prices for their product arid not on its quality. This very fact should encourage all men who do their work right, for they-soon become marked men marked for prosperity and public confidence. The demand for their service grows, and with its growth come riches, just as naturally as fall sunshine ipens good apples. A Pig on an Airplane. We have had pigs in clover, in the parlor, on ice, and other strange and unexpected places. People have found them in cabbage patches as well as in pens, although the swinish mind is not given to wide ranging or to strenuous en deavor, being content as a rule to live in what ever of peace and comfort may be offered by immediate surroundings. However, the ad venture may be brought to the pig, and that has now happened. One of prize dimensions and highly esteemed qualities has just been conveyed from Lincoln to Milwaukee by airplane, that the . "teoplecf Wisconsin may be given an idea of what a real porker is like. It is not so very re markable that these monarchs of the drove should be so treated. Their high breed ing and genuine aristocracy'entitle them to some sort of recognition. "Pigs is pigs" only'when it comes to dealing with the humbler sort. The real honest-to-goodness ham and bacon factory is a different breed, and there's nothing too good for him. Vagaries of Long Ago. James Wilson of Iowa, secretary of agri culture under McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, has passed away at an advanced age. He fol lowed Morton in the office he held under four administrations, if memory serves us, and his name recalls to us amusing agricultural depart ment incidents running back 30 years. - Morton's first report recommended that his department be abolished, but President Cleve land persuaded him to reconsider his suggestion. The reckless expenditures of the department fretted Morton, who had no exalted opinion of the army of scientists, professors, and bugoio gists snugly fixed where they could experiment freely at public expense. He did not hesitate to expose publicly their wastefulness, and wc remember two stories he told with much fertility of-inventive. . - ' - ': ".'' ' One of them was about a rare bug then missing from the multitude of specimens pinned in- glass cases in the agricultural bug house. An expedition of salaried bug-hunters went to the Rocky Mountains to capture the missing one. It had winged its way into the far north. Alaska then became the scene of the party's activities. Meanwhile the season changed and with it the bug's habitat. The party then hastened to the Isthmus of Panama, and when, there received a message that a fine specimen had been captured in the District of Columbia! That bug, Morton said, cost the people $20,000. One day the secretary got a report of 2,500 words to the effect that no weather report had been received from Baker City, Ore., for four days. It recommended sending a western agent of the department to investigate the delinquency, at an expense of not over $300. Morton Ayr iated a telegram to the weather sharp at Baiter. City, and in four hours learned the fai';re to report was caused by broken wires jus repaired. The bill was 75 cents. . When Wilson, affectionately dubbed "Tama Jim," got into MortonV, shoes, the agricultural experts were still at it, one of their stunts in his administration eing an attempt to Bur bank chickens and; hatch them featherless. .It raised a great laujgh all over the country. But the prize eeriment of Wilson's time by the de partment was the attempted regeneration of the tyog. What came of it never was revealed, DU its purpose was announced in the press at tljfe beginning. . A litter of 12 pigs from a Poland-China sow was put into luxurious quarters, there to be regularly bathed, scientifically fed, and kept immaculately clean for one year. At the close of the year they were to be led from their kindergarten and turned loose in a large enclo sure to exercise their individual choice between modes of living. On one side there was to be dainty food, clean turf and fresh water; on the other garbage, swill and the stinking filth in which the hog delights to wallow. v The professors believed the hog a naturally, cleanly animal, misled by captivity and con fined quarters into untidy habits long before Moses was found in' the bullrushes, all his na tural tendencies having been perverted into gluttony. It was predicted that the experiment of cleanliness and good feeding for one year from birth would prove the contention of the professors, and that right living would so im prove the flavor and firmness of his flesh that it might be used in place of veal in making restaurant chicken salad. 'Whether or not a year of "right living" proved environment stronger than heredity never has been disclosed. Government Courtesies for Cox. It is announced that Governor Cox is to have President Wilson's "private car" to cam paign in over the west. If the railroad that extends the courtesy to the president is willing, why not? The erratic governor will thereby ber placed in an atmosphere "of sanctity which seems to be needed. He will be able to press the but ton the finger of Woodrow Wilson has pressed, when he wants the porter. With Secretary Daniels using official envel opes to mail advance copies of his wife's club address, and Secretary. Baker mailing advance copies of his speeches to the newspapers,, in of ficial envelopes to save postage, surely Governor Cox is entitled to the private car used by the president. If only McAdoo were still director general of the railroads, what an additional sav ing might be made at the expense of the public! . Undesirable Acquaintances. An eastern paper tells of a lady who cured an incipient case of insomnia by "compiling lists of acquaintances she could do without." The virtue in this remedy doubtless consists in the length of the lists, along with a certain sat isfaction in classifying them as nonessentials to her comfort. But as a matter of fact we all owe our acquaintances, even the disagreeable ones, much. A man or woman who leaves many friends and acquaintances and goes among strangers, soon learns this. People who do not associate in their home towns always greet each other pleasantly, and often with real pleasure, when they meet unexpectedly in some distant city, or on a train. Human companionship is in accord with instinct. A Line 0 Type or Two Ml to Vat Use. tot ttM tain Ml where tlttjr mat. "A LAW which is a respecter of persons is no law," observes Lloyd George.

SOME of the newsnaners which An uc th.- honor of. using this column exhibit much in genuity in the make-up. We like best the idea of splitting a two-paragraph item and running the halves on consecutive. days. This would be less puwling to the reader, perhaps, if the first half earned the line, "Continued in our next." Another neat notion is to run only the second half; this never fails to intrigue.

An Example in Plain Living Governor . Coolidge was not, like Abraham Lincoln, born in a log cabin, but he lives as modestly as a bookkeeper or a mechanic, as all descriptions of his home and his habits show. He has not, apparently, devoted his thought and equipment to making money. He has been oth erwise interested. Yet who would say that he has not made a success of his life in an age. and in a country, in which success commonly is declared to be always' measured in money. t There are millioms of plain men who enjoy life a good' deal without making, money, and without becoming governors. There are so ma ny, if truth were told, that if they were counted perhaps there would be a reversal of the judg ment that America is a country in which every one lives to get rich, where everyone means "money" when the word "success" is used, and where everyone strives for money until stricken by paralysis or heart failure, and dies having neglected body and soul in quest of gain.

Butler advises that every man with a bad disposition take a dose of medicine each morn ing. Here is his prescription for the day. Suppose each morning when you awake to a hard day you utilize the well known principle of mental suggestion by deliberately storing tne mina witn right thoughts. Begin your day with repetition of certain assurances, uttering them over and over with your lips and your mind and your eoul until the full strength of them Is felt in every cell of jour being: "I will fear no evil." "In quietness and in con fidence shall be my strength." Begin the day with these arid other promises like them ringing in your ears, singing through your mind, throbbing with added strength in the pulsations of your heart. When you relax the tired muscles and the weary brain at night as you sink to sleep do it with the same confident assurances, furnishing your final mood and yielding their wholesome, restful influence through all the hours of the sleep. He tells the story of a woman who cured herself of a tendency to mel ancholia by going into a room by Herself and laughing until the out ward action produced the inward state. William James wrote: "The sovereign voluntary path of cheerful ness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look around cheerfully, and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were al ready there." Dr. Butler says that when one lacks a happy disposition he can acquire one "by degrees, by per sistence, by patiently unraveling the mental tangle, by gradually displac ing the sad and anemic cells of the brain with healthier, wholesome substitutes, by recognizing the power of happy thinking." He uses the term "happy disposi tion" in an inclusive fashion- em bracing a philosophy of life, equa nimity, courage, decision, as well as the absence of certain mental disor ders, such as envy, jealousy, sus picion, hatred, ,an,?er, remorse, wor ry, fear, indecision. It never has seemed to me that we caught the full meaning of the pres ence of envy and jealousy in the Ten Commandments along with the religious sin of false fads and the social sins of lying, stealing and sex ual immorality. The man who lies down to sleep with his mind full of happy thoughts void of remorse, worry, envy, never is troubled with insomnia. He who goes through the day with his mind well poised and free from emotional disturbances has a long start toward health. Bad mental hygiene is as harmful as bad physical or bad per sonal or bad public, hygiene, v. Try Exercise Cure.

In that event there is no likelihood of the deformity being inherited.

To the Editor of The Bee: I read with approval your editorial on the subject of "Back Yard Orchards," and hope that it will result in much good to the city of Omaha. There Is no doubt but that ten of thousands of bushels of the best kinds of fruits can be produced right here In Oma ha if people will only set out the trees and take good care of them. An abundance of cherries, plums and even apples and apricots could be produced, and it would add great ly to the pleasure and health of people in general, for fruits right from trees are much better than those that have been shipped from long distances and kept for weeks before sold. But many of the peo ple of this city labor under a handi cap in raising fruits in their back yards. They have to contend with the climbing rats that some people call squirrels. A man is justified in killing a bur glar found in his house at night. He is justified in having those who steal automobiles and other prop erty from him sent to Jails and peni tentiaries, yet we can have thieves in the shape of animal pests pro tected by law, in face of the fact that they destroy vast, amounts of fruits, grains and nuts. I nave two small cherry trees not much higher than my head that had more than a bushel of cherries both last year and this year, yet I had to gather the cherries both years before they were ripe on ac count of the climbing rats that many people seem to like so well. If a man is justified in killing a burglar and in protecting his prop erty from thieves, he ought to be justified in protecting his property from animal pests and to destroy them wihtout having any penalty inflicted upon him. I have contributed unwillingly to the support of the climbing rata that Infest the city parks so numer ously, in the last few years, to tho tune of a good many dollars each year in cherries, plums, peaches, walnuts and shellbark hickory nuts that the pests have destroyed for me. A man hates to have the few real pleasures of life destroyed by pestti that ought to be destroyed In stead of being protected by law. It is hard work to get the pests in any way except to shoot them, for they are very suspicious of anything in the shape of a trap. But, just the same, I kill them whenever I can and feel fully Justified in doing so, and I would destroy every one of the pests In the city if I could, for they are no good, few of them even being fit to eat when cooked. So, Mr. Editor, when you advise people to raise more fruits In the city, why not advocate a repeal of the law that protects the. climbing lats that destroy so much fine fruit, so that all of us can have a part in producing fine fruits In our city?

It is my understand ing that fusel oil is a product of dis tillation and is only found in whis ky, but I recently have been told by several persons that home brew al ways contained fusel oil in quan tities large enough to be harmful if much home made beer is taken. REPLY. Distilling does not create anything. Any fnsel oil in a distilled liquor was in the brew or mash which was distilled. These home brews made up of all kinds of mixtures and fer mented by wild yeast are liable to contain most anything. m Phone Douglas 2793 WtWUeqiipMnrOffictc OMAHA PRINTING COMPANY DUMB antuai FARKAM 1Z --n.-.-.-L...n SPSS - j afiHHt.aim COMMERCIAL PRINTERS -LITHOGRAPHERS STEEL OlE EMBOSSERS LOOSE LEAF OCVICCS TYPEWRITERS FOR RENT All Makes Typewriter Co. 205 S. 18th Tyler 2414 MlillltHliili!lili!ltili!i;ilnl;iiiiilnlii!;i;iiiiii:!;ii!iiiiiiiul!:liili:i!iliil!il!tlilnllilllllllllli;ll!llllrllll!ll:iliil SOMERSET COAL I ? , f I For Hard or Soft Coal Furnace ! 9 S i 5 Anthracite coal is hard and hard to get I j Somerset, Colorado, bituminous coal is also 1 hard, and the hottest coal we can secure, and I I we have it in stock at all our yards.
