First of all,' we want to thank Governor Cox for recommending to his hearers that thev read The Bee. It is a good practice, and the" gov ernor s advice is quite in line with The Bee's policy. Tim paper is read consistently and reg ularly oy the enlightened, but it also strives per- sistently to reach those sitting in darkness. " . Governor Cox asks if the editor of The Bee knows that Senator Harding is a brewer. The editor does not, but, on the contrary, knows that Mr. Harding never was a brewer; he owned at one time a few shares in a small brewery, which he disposed of long before pro hibition was put into the law but not into effect in Ohio. Possession of these shares for a short time no more made the senator a brewer than ownership of shares in a shoe factory make a man a shoemaker. Governor Cox says he does not approve of ) all that Attorney General Palmer or Postmaster General Burleson have done. He does not specify the acts he would condemn, but as the One was an active candidate for the nomination at San Francisco and as the other was an ener getic supporter oi Mr. McAdoo, it is not hard io locate a possible cause of the governor's dis pleasure. By the way, the democratic platform, to which the governor so lovingly refers, says, defending' the postmaster general: No utterance .from any quarter has been assailed, and no publication has been re pressed, which has not been animated by treasonable purpose and directed against the nation's peace, order and security in time of war. , Since this assertion was promulgated, the supreme court of the District of Columbia has compelled the postmaster general to restore the privileges of the mail to a New York pub lication to which these privileges had been de nied for more than two years, holding that the .head of the Postoffice department had exceeded his authority during all that time. In regard to Armenia, the governor says hat 'was disposed of by the platform. It was, in this fashion: We express our deep and earnest sympathy for the unfortunate people of Armenia and we believe that our government, consistent' with its corstitution and principle, should render every possible and proper aid to them in their , efforts to establish and maintain a govern ment of their own. j What does that mean? We tried to get Gov ernor Cox to tell us, but he refers us to the plat form. President Wilson thinks that "every pos sible and proper aid" includes acceptance of the mandate from the League of Nations. Governor Cox says he is "going Sn" and that means our country will be bound to accept that mandate with all it implies. A competent authority in- quired on behalf of the United States and re ported it would require the presence of 50,000 American soldiers and the expenditure of $150,- 000,000 for the first year of such occupancy. In passing, it is comforting to note that even in this matter the democrats exhibit an inclination to submit to the Constitution of the United States. It indicates that the donkey may yet re turn to normalcy. As to Creel, while the American people re main familiar with his unspeakable Fourth of July hoax, to which he signed the name of 'the Secretary of the Navy, with that gentleman s ap oarent approval, so long will he be an issue. The public is not so ill-informed on the topic as the governor would like to make St appear, and they do resent the fact that they were tea cn falsehoods by a man who was retained in office by the president after his lies had been challenged and exposed, not once but many times. .' finvmnr Cnx's reolies are about what might, have been expected from the platform on which he rests his case, shitty, evasive, ana ae- cidedly unsatisfactory to one who is seeking only the truth. King of Spain Seta the Pace. .The "shimmy" has hit Spain. The fandango, the valse despacio, all the alluring and dreamy things, castanets and guitar, the stunts of Car men and of Carmencita, native to the Iberian peninsula, are as nothing compared to the new craze. Only they do not call it by the name familiar over here. 1 It is given a more sonorous title, which, freely translated sounds something like "Spanishiver." 'Oh, very well; "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." The big point is that they .are all doing it. King AJfonso learned it from a charming duchess, and pro ceeded at once to teach it to everybody who would accept instruction from his royal person age, thereby proving himself to be what the world has thought of him ever sinee the war broke out, a regular fellow. Just as the tango was invented by the guachos of the Argentinian pampas, and introduced into this country via the "Barbary Coast," from whence came also the "Bunny Hug," the "Gris tly Bear and other forms of Terpsichorean fantasy, to mount to the lofty heights of elite aha exclusive society, so has the "shimmy," the origin of .which is unknown, but the nature of which asily suggests its source, now attained whatever of respectability royal notice, patronage and indulgence can bestow . upon it It may never again be said to be entirely declasse, but that willjget it nothing from the vigilant censors tinder the auspices of the Welfare board. How ever, the light and lithe young persons who feet the impulse of, "jaia" stealing over them, cours taw lake fire though their veins, will "shake a wicked shoulder" now and then, ind maybe croon: River, river, Guadalquiver Ain't it swell, the Spanishiver. It's hard to keep a naughty dance down these days, you know. The Second Wife. naving a secona wne is a novel exoerience: being one is another. The novelists have at tempted, with more or less success, to write human's nature's reactions to second marriages, but perhapsnone of them have been wholly true to actual experience. It is not unlikely that no two instances ever ran parallel, although human emotions and feelings in similar circum stances are strikingly similar. But there is one thing most women believe, which is that second wives have an easier time and are more generously treated than their predecessors. This may be, perhaps is, because the first wife usually undergoes the economies, the sacrifices, the hard work, necessary to put the marriage partnership on a prosperous living level. Then if death comes to her, and the bereaved husband seeks a second mate to share his worldly goods, a state of affairs follows which is touchingly described by the Hastings Tribune in the lines which follow, under the title "The Second Wife." I went Into the farmhouse where she lived Those many years. I saw the bareness of her hidden life, The stifled tears. I opened wide the closet where still hung The dresses patched. With trembling hands I shook my own silk gowns . They scarcely matched. I never knew her, but I feel her come To every door. No matter where I go I feel that she was there before. She worked and skimped and saved to buy the farm, Slaved all her life. And left It prosperous and paid for now, for me, The second wire. . Whence it appears that the second wife has some things to think about as well as her hus band to whom comparisons must come during his second venture.- As a rule, the second mar riage seems to have hazards and liabilities un known to the first, when the initial experience has been a: happy one. Certainly "marrying again," if it is to prove successful, requires pro found study of the very first principles of human nature .along with a deal of tolerance, of for getfulness, and of practical common sense. Too often the twice married man or woman, how ever blessed with abundant means, looks back to years gone by in many a saddened hour. Only those who possess the consciousness of having been loyal and generous, loving and consid erate, of the first partner, have any prospect for a really happy1 second married life, would be our guess. College Boys' Deviltry. ' College boy pranks, often grotesque and ex travagant, sometimes amusing and not mtre- quently harmful, never cease to show ingenuity and variety. The latest one we have noticed is in vogue in an Ohio college where the fresh men and sophomores are in the usual turmoil that continues from the opening of college in the fall until November. Hair-clipping is the collegiate outdoor sport in that institution, and fresh and soph, armed with clippers, range the campus near the dormi tories, seeking an unfortunate "foe" who may be surrounded and denuded of his locks. In a recent instance of this kind, the fair locks of the captive were later auctioned off, bringing some $20 to the exultant robbers, which were promptly invested in "camels" or some other brand of narcotic solace. The young men are leaving their marks on each other temporary, to be sure, but none the less enjoyable or humiliating, as the case may be. Take a Tip from Tammany. If you really want to know just what the situation is in New York, try to' find out how Tammany feels as to the prospect. Cox 'was the preferred Tammany candidate at San Fran cisco, and was put over by a combination ot bosses, in which Murphy of New York, Nugent of New Jersey, Taggart of Indiana and Brennan of Illinois were the dominating figures. Natur ally, it would be expected that Tammany would be back of its candidate for president with all its force. However, New York politics is a peculiar thing, and the "organization" is noted for the keen eye it keeps on its own interest. Governor "Al" Smith, also a Tammany candidate, running for re-election, opened his campaign at Albany last Friday, ' when, in his notification speech, he declared that national issues should not determine a state campaign. This was wildly cheered by the large group of Tammany leaders in attendance. As the gov ernor failed to mention the League of Nations or any other of the "paramounts," the inference is plain that Tammany intends to win for Smith, regardless of what comes to Cox. That is all. . s Palmer's Bully Boys. Palmer official heelers at the San Francisco convention charged their expenses to the gov ernment Certainly. Public office has always been a private snap in democratic administra tions. But it does look a little raw for the of ficial assistants of Attorney General Palmer, "on duty" to help their chief in his quest for the democratic presidential nomination, to charge the expenses of their high-rollicking trip to Frisco to the taxpayers.' Really, it is time to turn the rascals out. The country wants a change at Washington. The president has opened fire through his private secretary. Two years ago when he used his own typewriter it resulted in a flareback. ., Chicago and Philadelphia restaurants are promising lower prices on chow. The move may yet reach Omaha.

The First State Savings Bank has just installed an up to date burglar alarm. The alarm is on the outside of the building, so it can be heard for some distance when sounded. It is so arranged that any tam pering with the vault will gause the alarm to sound. It can also be sounded from sev eral placeR in the building, so in case of a daylight hold-up it would be very easy for some one familiar with the buttons to press one. There are also places within the vault for giving such an alarm. T THERE is a reassurinff steadiness about M. Millerand.

(W. H. Hudson, "Birds and Man.") My reason for not going to the garden is, that our cultivated blooms are not only arti ficially produced, and in some degree monstrosi ties, but they are seen in unnatural conditions, in crowds and masses, the various kinds too near together, and in most cases selected on ac count of their gorgeous colouring. The effect produced, however delightful it may be in some ways, Is confusing to those simple natural feel ings which flowers irt a state of nature cause In us. I confess that gardens in most cases afreet i me disagreeably; hence I avoid them, and think and know little about garden flowers. The large garden is the greatly valued annex of the large house, and is as much or more to the mistress than the coverts to the master; and when I am asked to go Into the garden to see and admire all that is there, I cannot say.

Writing as woman suffrage Is an accomplished fact, there is no bet ter theme than the results of a study by Dr. Clelia D. Mosher of Palo Alto, Cal., read before the In ternational Conference of Women Physicians. Dr. Mosher concludes that there Is no difference in the muscular strength of women and men, due to stx as such. Such differences as are frequently found are due to differences in the use of the mus cles brought about by the conven tional limitations of activity or by dress. These conclusions were based on careful studies made with standard instruments for measuring the strength of individual groups of muscles and single muscles, it is true most of the women were col lege girls doing gymnasium work and older women and mothers who had been athletic in their younger days. But conclusions drawn from this group can be applied to all women without doing violence to the truth. Dr. Mosher thought. Some muscles were stronger in women than in men. Foi- instance. the muscles which lift the arms were stronger in women because women hold their hands above their heads while dressing their hair and the restraining coats worn by men hrevent these muscles from acting. Two women wno roae oicycies several thousand miles a year were stronger In their leg muscles than were men. Women trained in fan cy dancing were stronger in certain leg muscles than were men. It is generally held that women breathe with their chest muscles and men with their abdominal mus cles, because nature had pregnancy in mind Jn fashioning woman. Dr. Mosher shows that the difference Is due wholly to woman's dress. There Is no Justification for monthly invalidism, as has been shown by Dr. Mosher and others. Ninety-nine per cent of women whd He in bed at that time do so as the result of faulty training. During the discussion of this subject sev eral women from Europe dissented. They said the women In Europe during the war who worked at day labor stood up all right at first, but that they wore out before the war was over. For instance. Dr. Thuillier-Lan- dry and Dr. Glboulet said in France it was noticed that in the beginning the women munition workers were able to work as hard as men, but little by little they became exhaust ed. Many became tuberculous. To this Dr. Mosher replied that most of thsse women had been brought up in idleness and few or their muscles had been taRe-a generation or different dressing, differ cnt activities, and even diWorent social attitudes of men and women to get the rank and file of women to have muscles and bodies as well developed as those of men. The wrong attitude started at the cradle. Glrl were taught to play with dolls ami not to be tomboys. Boys were brought up to play muscle developing games.
