Its experts have determined that" the Wall street horror lunches. A- very large majority of pat rons of restaurants have no other place to secure food, and they are victims of a rapacity that seems to have lio ljrnit. , Irf Omaha, for example, prices were boosted amazingly as the cost of food in thejnarket was mounting, but since the turn has been the otrer way, there is no sign of concession on the part of the purveyors. ThrV is a genuine hardship on a largre class of our population, who. must eat at restaurants or go hungry. All hey can do is to pay and grumble, and hope that some day the men who manage the downtown eating places will relent and give, their customers a show. Charlei Ladd Thomas. x'The Bee lost a valuable member of its edi torial staff and the world a a-onrt m. a.. LCharles Ladd Thomas died. His service wa. rendered with quiel modesty and o little of display that he seldom became conspicuous in any relation. Those who worked with him learned to value the quiet, simple-hearted man who took up and carried on the many and often com plicated jobs that fell to his lot. They knew his worth, his capacity for work, his wilflnghess to sacrifice, and the great generosity that moved him to he helpful to others without regard to himself. .Outside of the office he was respected and trusted because he early established for himself that greatest of all riches, a onnd nam. lis contact with all classes was on the level: and the confidence he gained among those 'with whom he dealt rested on the solid foundation of a true man's character.

This, too. was characteristic of murucrs inprej cominiuea is not an easy one, but it should be undertalen with zeal and energy and not permitted to lag till the miscreants are dealt wirh by justice. Within Jwo years the counjry has been startled three times by the exhibition of this murderous form of insanity, and as, yet the guilty culprits have not been located It does not se.erh reasonable that such a group ""can escape forever, enjoying immunity from the law, and be "permitted to work its crime whenever so moved. Other criminals have been brought toTook, and these should be. Americans donot react to 'terror" with sub mission. ' Theresas too much iron in the bipod of our people, Qpcn rebellion was put down by the strong and mighty arm of established gov ernment, and this secret form of revolt, which strikes in the' dark, must be hunted out and squelched. Deportation of some hundreds of the radicals did not suffice tp meet tfie issue, nor has the trial of such agitators as Debs, Berger, Lloyd aW others had the effect.. Yet this should not deter the ministers of the law. They are now charged with the grave responsi bility of locating and removing a pestilential group of desperate criminals, and as they act, so will the public estimate-then service. To remove the effect, however, will not deal with the cause. Some more efficient means ,jS must be found for counteracting the radical element man is containers in ueporiaiion or im prisonment. Months ago The Bee set out as its opinion that limitations proposed to be put on free speech and free publication were danger ous, because the grievance that is aired very often rights itself by that very airing, while at tempts at suppression drive the plotters mto secret places, and the pressure there engendered finds vent in destructive' explosion. The reds must be met Sn their own grounds; their, as sertions must be counteracted by arguments that will convince. Men who have wrongs, real or. fancied, must be shown that there is an orderly way of rjghffng them, sin4 be brought to . understand that justice to all is the corner stone of our government. Submission o the law docsht entaH surrender of anything worthy of possession, but the man who vainly takes the law into his own hands to execute his private 'judgments is a greater dangir to himself than he is to any other. ' " , N The bomb" outrage in Wall street is another challenge to Americans. If self-government means anything, it nieanrfreedom from su'ch terrible occurrences. The establishment of so cial Justice is a matter for individual as well t, , , j as concerted action. It is not enough to charge 1 all our present trouble to the reation following S. the war, for that indicts the mental balance of most. Rather, let the common sense of most, assert itself; let greed and selfish pursuit1' of j individual interest be put in the background, j and let usrevive not the patriot fc impulse of common preservation that swelledvso high dur ing the war, but tUc.rhore essential inspiration , of a full sense of wnat is due between man and man. .the square deaV and We will remove the cause and so,climinate the effect that is now exhibited in-diarchy.

The artist revived memories of the carjy days, when the applicant for alicense was required to undergo a rigid examination as to his fitness and quali- - fications.

As we have grown familiar with the machine, prudence has disappeared, and now a "driveF'Ss called compe tent almost as soon as he has discovered the "location of the various controls and long before he is accustomed' to their manipulation. -Many of Jhe accidents may be ascribed to this lack of knowledge on part of the driver.

Someway should be found to Establish the capacity of the driver before he is' entrusted with the big car and set on hisJ , career of potential destruction. V "Carry Your Lunch Front Home." "A movement has been started in Boston having for its purpose to force restaurant keep ers to reduce prices on food served.. It is "carry youc lunch from home," and has enlisted many eminent devotees, among them the mayor, vwho takes with him each day a lunch put upty his wife and eats it at his desk. That the move ment will spread is quite probable, for the high cost Of food at restaurants p not peculiar to Boston. The trouble is, the practice ii avail able only & the , relief of those1 who kaV homes : from which to secure tneir him, for once he had undcrfaWn tctr t,a sought diligently to carry it out and did not snare, himself in the effort needed to accom plish whatever he set about. His attributes of simplicity of life, devotedness to his family,' fidelity to his work, and uprightness in his deal ings with men and women, the emanations of a brave soul, endeared him td all. No public monument will pierce the air to remind the world of "Charley" Thomas, but hearts that truly loved him will ache because he is gone, and the world is the. worse off because it has lost a man. v , ' ' - Cox's Peculiar Campaign. If proof were needed" f the instability of the Cox campaign, the addresses to the voters of California by the candidate would seem to furnish it. With a mind that veers like a weather gage, a purpose fixed only in its apparent deter mination to fit his mfjod to the environment of the moment, the 4mocratic -nominee for the presidency goes merrily oln his way dispensing- amiable guff to whatever gathering of listeners he may have, striving always to put himself on the popular side on any local question he ma"y encounter. So it is not at all surprising when he reaches California that he should align himself in favor of exclusion of Asiatics.- Perhaps' he does not recall that it was WiHiam Jennings Bryan, secre tary of state In the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson, who made a special Journey to California to plead with the legislature no U enact a law which now has the implied endorsement of the candidate. Of course, what one democrat does is not considered binding on another, and while Mr. Cox has promised to carry out everything to which Voodrow Wilson is pledged, he does not let this stand in -the .way of giving -the Cali fornians, to understand that he is with them, no matter how the president may view the point. ' Then he impudently goes out of his way to praise Hiram Johnson, a member of the "senate oligarchy ." opponent of the League of Nations, and earnest supporter of Senator Harding. It is all right, ofrourseas a visitor to pay a de served tribute .Jo the distinguished citizen of the state in which the speech is beiilg delivered, but we opine the California people know a hawk from a handsaw, and doubt if they will be caught by any such taffy as Cox is now. dealing out. We wonder if he will praise WHliam' Jen nings yBryan when he. gets to Nebraska? Pcr- Juips not, with G. M. Hitchcock presiding as chairman of the meeting, yet such might be expected after .the way he tried to soft-solder mram jonnson. . 1 OCTAVE. ' Just now across my path ... A faded leaf was blown; .

The achievement of the ballot is not the end foMier. It is only the beginning of the battle royal for "full equality" with the men in every field. In a speech towomenvat Port Washington, L. I., the other day she called their attention to ne fact that no woman was a member of .rjje coal commission or of the railway wage board, an that men are chosen to fill high government posi tions, and "the responsible, wcll:paid positions in industry.". . ' Perhaps these men 'whom' Irs.y Belmont would have dfiven out of desirable places in the government and in industrial organizations are there because their ability and service have earned them the recognition, Business seeks the best talent available for responsible positions. So does politics sometimes. And in due time women will receive that recognition as their merits and training justify it. But never by the route Mrs. Belmont would have her sisters take. Her dream is for a woman's party that will vote Mneh out, simply because they are-men, and vote jvomen in just because they are women. She would move on the industrial organizations of fMe country in the same way, and begin a politi cal and economic campaign agaTnst every man who has earned a good job by long and valuable service. - . . " Sister Belmont is off her trolley. , She needs controller. The sex war she would start is about the wildest bit ofloose thinking and silly mischief we have noticed lately.

As the number of cases of typhoid fever becomes smaller it is possi ble to find out when each case orig- In Massachusetts thW investigate each case and they nearly always ate able to find Its source. The same policy is followed, perhaps just as thoroughly, in New York City. In fact, In every community having well developed health department whenever a case of typhoid fever is reported inspectors get on the job doing detective work. Drs. Osborn and Meckler. who are engaged in this work for the Massachusetts board of health, are of the opinion that the number of carriers in that state is on the in crease. There are known to-be 81 typhoid carriers In that state and these were responsible for more than half the cases of typhoid mere. A typhoid carrier is a person who without being sick, harbors typnoia bacilli in his body and passes them out with the excretions neither dally and constantly or periodically. In other words, the typhoid bacillus Is at home in that individual as the colon bacillus, itcousin, is in all persons. ( Of the 13 carriers found in Mas sachusetts in 1919, three claimed they never had had typhoid fever. The way typhoid carriers spread ty. phold is in the main by handling food. In the Massachusetts investi gation 41 per cent, or nearly half of the cases infected by carriers were infected try milk. No typhoid carrier should work as a milker, or in a bottling plant, milk plant, dairy milk store or on a milk wagon irom which can mil is sold. , More than one-third (33 per cent) were infected " by food other than milk. No typhoid - carrier should work as a cook or waiter m a gro eery store where foods to be eaten raw' are sold. In the Massachusetts list were two nurses. All nurses caring for ty phoid fever should be protected neainst the disease by vaccination. No one should nurse if there is any likelihood that he or she is a ty nhoid carrier. Nurses are very careful . about cleanliness, but not even a nurse is sufficiently careful to make her a safe attendant if she is a typhoid carrier. Drs. Osborn , and Meckler found a considerable percentage of the car riers to be housewives. ' As such then endanger their own families, but not many outside.

Good and Bod Proposals Omaha, Sept. 17, 1920. To the Editor, of ThevBee: Nebraska is abeut to vote upon a series of 41 amendments submitted by the con stitutional convention to modernize our state government As chairman of the preliminary survey committee charged with collecting information for guidance of the constitution makers, I had occasion to study the strength and weakness of our con stitution in comparison with the constitutions of oTher " states and I ajn convinced that if the people will approve the work dfvthe convention as a whole, our state will Jiave a most satisfactory framework.. Where Nebraska has be6n most handicapped is in having outgrown our judicial machinery no longer adequate to increased demands and in" being held down to pitifully low salaries fixed more than 40 years ago for our executives, legislative aniLJudicial officers. These defects should, -by all means, be corrected and the transaction of the public business simplified and facilitated as here proposed. , - Several of the amendments I would particularly endorse as prom ising reforms I have advocated for many years, among them the move toward a Shorter ballot by choosing legislators one to a district, prohib iting the reward of subservient law makers with appointive offices, put ting an effective bar upon salary grabbing" by legislative enactment, fixing responsibility for the pardon ing power, making a minimum ex emption of household goods from taxation, opening the door wider for municipalmme rule, preserving tne state's water rights, and, most Im nortant. providing a workable way to amend the constitution further whenever necessary. ? One or two amendments are sub mitted that I believe could as well have been withheld, the scheme CNo. T7i to elect supreme mdtres by territorial districts as if a judge were expeeted to act in a representa tive capacity for a special constitu ency. thV reduction (No. 4) of the petition percentages for initiative and referendum which are now not excessive, the authorization (No.Zl) of the eale at public auetion of state school lands whose alienation i would forbid entirely, Taken altogether, however, as I have said, the proposed amendments seem to answer our present needs remarkably well and their adoption will give us an upMo-date, yet elas tic, constitution that will make agi tation for another constitutional convention a remote contingency.
