But Ak-Sar-Ben is rooted a Nttle deeper, standing on a better basis than is contained in the sordid elements of mere1 business. The institution from the beginning has stood for good fellowship, camaraderie, the mingling, of its members on the floor of the Den just as neighbors and friends, and its teachings have developed boosters. That is why Ak-Sar- Be has lived to mourn for the departure jpf his rivals, but to glory in a list ot achievements of which anj monarch might' be proud, The season of 1920, the twenty-swtrt in line, is 'propitious, ospetity abounds, and if the two weeks of combined racing and carnival do toot serve to bring but the fact that our people haye occasion to rejoice and are willing to im-N prove it, we can not cdhceive what will.'" t Orover -Cleveland's Young Manhood. ' -To the man whose memory goes back to the campaign of 1884 there is an extremely in teresting article in the Saturday Evening Post on Grover Cleveland' during the period between ' 3855 and 18S2. For the most part it is new stuff. fThe great democrat had acres of matter -written Bbont hiiri after he became governor of 'New IjYork, out his early struggles were seldom men tioned during his life time. ' i. , " " I fThe writer, Oeorge r . rarker, gtvei us tne Vest' close-up of the young lawyer Cleveland we "Tips" amd Their Takers. The habit of "tipping" for personal service is an old one, brought to America from abroad, where it had longxbeen an attribute of royalty, imitated by'the lesser of the "noble" breed, and aped by the snobs who imagined themselves confirmed in their self-assumed superiority, by the process. In the original assertion of "divine" power by the monarch, all property was under his disposal, and the subject was rich or poor as his sovereign willed. . The petty despot, the feudal lord, baron or count, held similarly the weal of his immediate followers, and it was a general and not entirely a reprehensible prac tice to "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning." . In America the custom has grown from a mere bestowal of largess or a grateful expres sion of satisfaction and appreciation for service suitably rendered. It has become a father bur densome imposition on all Who patronize places where "tips-" may be exacted. In the beginning itv was on the Pullman car that one felt the trust more frequently; the underpaid porter de peruled on the liberality or generosity of the patrons of the great monopoly for his living. Now it has spread fo the hotels, to the barber shops and elsewhere, until it is not only an imposition : but a nuisance. 'Law .have been enacted against it, but generally have failed be cause of the peculiar nature of the payment, but this does not detract, from the fact that it is .wrong. ' ' ' ' r Thaft, isi why we hope the barbers in New York wina strike they have commenced, their demand being a wage on which they can live without having to depend on gratuities from customers. The "boss barber7 has not lessened the charges to the customer, and Ijy implication requests the patron of his shop -not only to pay' for whatever service he receives at the es tablished rates, but to further contribute to the wages of the man employed. This is wrong, and no amount of sophistry cin make it right. No denial is made of the right of an individual to give a tip. if he so desires, but the workman should not be left dependent on this for nis pay while his employer exacts lull rates for thj- ALine 0' Type or Two Mm to the Uaa, M Hm eeta tan wtm Met eta. T THE'suit brought by Actor Kegerreis against members of the1 Players' Club, in which con spiracy was alleged, was dismissed in court.

While we are witching the development 'of aviation in our own country, .where it is. pro ceeding slowly enough, we lose -Sght pf what others are doing. ,Fhe West Coast Leader, pub lished at Lima, Peru, gives some very interest ing information in detail as to what is being done down there. The Peruvian government is assisting as far as it may, while private capital is going into the'busifaess extensively. One of the most important? of the projects under way down there is sponsored' by the goyernmertf(of Argentine, which plans'"" on ef tablishing a regu; lar service between Buenos Aires and Puntas Arenas. The commercial importance; of this will be appreciated by those who understand V a ., t a 4 a a wnat is involved, not oniy is runtas Arenas the extreme southern port of the continent, but it is the outpost of Argentine, and the great resting place for ships "rounding the Horn." Despite the existence of the Panama canal, a. -great deal of commerce is still carried over the Monger route, and the air service proposed will bring the important southern port into mere direct and far speedier communication with the Capital. ' American nanufactiyers, such as the Curtiss corporation, are taking a decidedly active part inassisting the South Americans in the new industry. The whole has an aspect of- closer commercial relations between the Americas, and therefore bodes well for the future of all. A Mind' Clouded by Suspicion. Lord Bacon's remarV, "there is nothing makes' a mait suspect much, more than to know little," is peculiarly applicable to the recent con duct of ; Governor Cox in declaring ' that the republicans have a $15,000,000 fund with which to buy the election. Proclaiming, the possession of proof,he has none. . Daring the republicans to denyrthe charge, he finds himself flatly de nied, and has not the evidence to sustain his in famous charge. '4 -Bacon, wrote: 'Suspicions amongst thoughts are like bats aflrongst birds they ever fly by twilight '. . . they cloud the mind,, they lose friends, and they check with (interfere with) business." Governor Cox was too suspicious; or perhapsOO anxious to divert the minds of the people frompie real issues of the Campaign. Whatever his reason for bearing false witness, his singularly ill-advised exploit hasymade him self the object of general distrust " v 'V V Nor is that all. ' Men whose honor and in tegrity are tinquestioned have thrown the werght of their testimony ajfainst his, ind in defence of their honesty ' and patriotism . will make him smart for his. reckless mendacity. - - 1 - : ; The Ninth Month.

Bubonic plague has the firmest foothold on this country that It has ever had. It found its way into Cal ifornia in 1900. Thanks to interfer ence by the courts and by powerful business, political, and religious in fluences, it became so firmly en trenched during the three years that no effort to control it was made, that an occasional animal infected with plague is found, and just one year ago there was a ..email human out break. , Having got a foothold-in New Or leans several .years ago, the disease has held on. Last November there was another human outbreak. This year cases o human plague have been reported from several other gulf ports. Tfrfi disease has been In the country for 20 years, and not all the effort and expense have availed to eradicate it. This experience teaches two les sons. The first is tnat ouoonic plague does not menace our people with any great disaster. The sec ond Is that the disease, once It gets a foothold among the rats and cer tain small flea-infested wild animals, is only cleaned out with the greatest difficulty. . Cities back of the sea board are sitting back in easy satis faction. They say they are safe be cause though the disease has been in the United States 20 years it has never got 50 miles from the sea board. . Almost overnight a railroad train carried the7 infection from San Fran cisco to Los Angeles about 15 years ago. The distance from San Fran cisco to Los Angelea by rail is almost as great as the distance from New Orleans to Chicago. Dr. W. H. Kellogg in his report of the Berkeley epidemic of 1919 said that the seaboard cities were not in great danger o pneumonic plague, the most terrible variety of the dis ease, but woe unto the-cttles of the northern and eastern sections of the United States should the Infection ever spread to their rats. The United . States public health service thinks the danger ' great enough to warrant it in calling on Illinois board of health reprints the public health service bulletin and the Chicago health department 'is mak ing a rai survey ana launcning an anti-rat campaign. Rats are important from the pub lic health standpoint because they spread bubonic plague, catarrhal jaundice, and rat bite fever, intes tinal parasites, and trichinae. They are important ironrthe economic standpoint because of the enormous amount of food they eat. Some of the statements made in the public health bulletins are these: The average cat or dog is not a success in preventing rat infesta tion. The use of poisons at best is haphazard and uncertain. A prep aration of arsenious acid, 10 per . ceit, with ' cheese meal, meat or : grainv is the most popular poison. ! The prerequisite of successful trap- y ping is that no food other than the f bait shall be available. f -. j The only effective procedure is Economic Law and riwsv Omaha, Aug. 29. To the Editor of The Bee: 1 am interested by an interview, appearing in your 'paper, In which the Secretary of the Omaha Retailers' association says there will be no drop in prices locally before next spring, as the locaj dealers have already stocked up for six months at the prevailing high prices. I wonder if he ever heard of the wise rule of business practice, which fixes the selling price at re placement . cost?
