OMAHA'S LOCAL GOVERNMENT,
With the national election and all it con
tains out of the way, the business situation clear
ing up, and plans' for future operations fairly
outlined, Omaha folks may now devote a little
attention to their local government. This fact
is recognized by the mayor, who has named two
of the city commissioners to look after proposed
changes in the charter on the provisions of
which the business of the community is looked
after. It is not certain, though, that this pro
cedure is in the right direction. For many years
iOmaha has clamored for a home rule charter,
and the present city commission has gone on
record as favoring such a change, although it
has made no very vigorous effort to put it into
effect. At the special election in September an
amendment to the state constitution was rati
fied specifically permitting Omaha to adopt as a
'home rule" charter the one under which "it now
operates. Whether it is wise to ignore that per
. mission and continue the old practice of going to
Lincoln whenever relief is needed is open to
question.
yjThe Bee has declared on many occasions its
preference for the city manager form pf govern
ment. It has recommended this to the people
because the plan holds out the certainty of im
provement ' in administration of public affairs
When the commission form was adopted the
promise was made that under it certain, needed
reforms in administrative methods would be
more effectively accomplished, and that the sev
eral departments of the municipal housekeeping
arrangement would function more accurately
and satisfactorily. Unfortunately, all that was
hoped for did not come to pass. Certain fund
"mental defects have developed, each an elemenl
of weakness and consequent loss to the public
service. Experience with the plan has proved
its deficiencies as well as 'its advantages, and
that the former may be eliminated and the latter
enjoyed only through a radical change in system
This change is proposed to be accomplished
by substituting the city manager for the group
that now exercises the authority and carries on
the work which should be centralized. With a
single head for control of the purely service de
partments, directing the operation of all, able
" to co-ordinate and carry on comprehensive plans
of public work without the conflict or division
that now exists, efficiency beyond that now pos-
sibte could be secured. At least responsibility
would be located, and such mild controversies
as arose when a few loads of ashes were dumped
on a torn-up street to provide a temporary sur
face could be avoided. In the tase at point
three groups or divisions under the city com
mission and the Metropolitan Water District
were involved in a dispute as to which one
should look after and pay for the work done.
v That is but a minor matter, but it is illustrative
t the greater that continually disturbs the
smooth working of the city's business manage
ment. V
If Omaha is to go forward in the matter of
its city government, or if it is to follow a "let
well enough alone" policy, should be settled
very shortly. We have permission to govern
ourselves; that ought not to be forgotten, and
whether the city manager form is taken on, or
the commission continued, home rule ough to
secured without delay.
In the Next Congress.
; Enough of progress' has been made to defi
nitely determine one thing in connection with the
Sixty-seventh congress. Democrats, being so
completely in the minority, expect to take part
in the constructive work so imperatively neces
ary and so greatly longed for by all, but will
do so by the indirect method of fomenting dis
cord among the republicans. ,This they have
anticipated by undertaking to array east against
west in a contest between Speaker Gillett and
James R. Mann of Illinois for the speakership.
This controversy was once decided by the repub
licans, in favor of Mr; Gillett, but if it can now
be revived the minority tee in it a chance to
start a factional fight that may grow to such
proportions as will turn out something to their
advantage. We venture the prediction that in
this they will be greatly disappointed. The
republican party is not organized along sec
tional lines, nor does the victory of the late elec
tion impose on it any obligation entailing
geographical divisions. Speaker Gillett hails
t from Massachusetts, and Mr. Mann from Illi
v nois, but both are Americans and good repub
licans, and will not be found contributing to
malicious schemes of the opposition bent on
itirring up strife when the interests of the coun
try require concord. The speaker will be re
elected and the house organized on lines that
will permit the great work of congress to go
forward without the interruption of personal or
factional divergence.
A Prophet Must Take Chances.
Out at Denver the president of a hotel man
1 ager's association rises up to predict an era of
l lewer prices. Such an announcement sounds
V good to the public weary of certain things H
has had to face and none of which it can easily
understand. "Do you want us to lose the war,"
tost its aavor two years ago, but the "peak" of
prices, was extended to much higher that what
we had done during the war looked like a real
' joy ride in comparison to what we went through.
Now comes the Federal Reserve board with a
hwtnaT that th index number all over the
world baa been getting some genuine knocks
since last spring. To be sure, none of the
has as yet taken on the form of a knock-out,
but they do support the old saying that what
ever goes up must come down. Therefore, the
prophets who are titillating our hope with prom
ises of lower prices may not be going so far
astray as do those who foretell the end of the
world or try to guess under which shell the
little ball is hidden. They also have the advan
tage of knowing that all the world is with them,
and even if they do take a chance, it is in the
right direction. We hope it all comes true.
The Real Art of Printing.
In his "History of the English People" Green
dwells with warranted emphasis and detail on
the uplift that came to western Europe, and
especially to England, following the fall of
Constantinople. The dispersion of the Greek
intelligentzia and consequent diffusion of knowl
edge they had hoarded brought to the Spanish,
French, German and English that invigorating
and vitalizing impulse needed to give life to the
less virile Latin learning from which they had
extracted the substance and yet were not filled.
It so happened that about that same time
Johannes Geinsfleisch, whose name was later
changed to Guttenberg, together with Schaffer
and Faust, brought forth the first printed book.
Call it rennaissance or whatever you will,
this was the beginning of modern civilization,
of enlightenment, of the sp-ead of knowledge,
the awakening of faen's souls and the birthday
of Liberty. First the Bible, then such works of
science as existed, poetry, fiction, and finally
the newspaper, all began to flow from the press
in such a stream that in no very long time, as
ages go, a trickle reached into the remotest of
regions, and the human mind was enfranchised.
Pseudo-science disappeared, superstition re
treated before the oncoming light that flowed
from the types, and the printer became the
evangel and the apostle alike of the Spirit of
Knowledge. "The Art Preservative of All
Arts" was the name bestowed on the art of the
printer, and worthily has that proud appellation
been maintained.
In none of the other arts has the benefit of
invention and discovery been so lavishly be
stowed on the public; no other has so gener
ously and even recklessly discounted its own to
accommodate the public weal. Yet on this very
peg'hangs much of the progress that has been
made in the processes of printing. A demand
for quantity production has done away with
a great deal of the loving care bestowed by Cax
ton, for example, or Aldus, or DeGrolier on
the magnificent monuments to their craft that
still preserve their names as genuine master
workmen. fYct enough remains to keep alive the
interest of all who follow printing as a voca
tion, and even to challenge the deep admiration
and serious attention of those who merely turn
to it as an avocation. America has added a
considerable list of names to the roster of the
great in the art's Hall of Fame, men who would
take delight in the marvels of typography, en
graving, press work and binding nowadays com
monly being achieved.
All this is prefatory to the announcement
that Boston is just now carrying on an exhibi
tion of prmting, the prime purpose of which is
to show what the New England printers can do
and are doing, and to invite to their shops work
that is being taken to other great centers. We
are' just passing the thought along to local
printers, who might gain something and surely
would lose nothing by such a venture.
Symbol of American Good Will.
No more fitting season could be found than
the anniversary of the armistice for renewing
memberships in the Red Cross. As the events
of the world war are recalled, the heroic serv
ices of this rnerciful organization are inevitably
freshened in the recollection. Today, with the
conflict past, the need for the alleviation pf
human suffering is nevertheless so keen that it is.
necessary still to support the activities of the
Red Cross.
In time of disasters at home in floods, tor
nadoes, epidemics, the Red Cross is first with
its relief. The work of improving sanitation
and inculcating the principles of hygiene is car
ried on day in and day out. That this is sup
ported by popular subscription so wide as to
include almost every family in the land is mat
ter for national pride.
It is in the stricken lands of the European
frontier that the humanitarian work of the Red
Cross is most appreciated. There starvation,
disease and want are bravely held at bay
through the ministrations of this American or
ganization. The people feel that it is through
the Red Cross that the sympathy of our great'
nation is being extended to them. When the
old slander that America is a nation of soul
less money grubbers is revived, the grateful
people point to the activities of the Red Cross
as counter-proof of the idealism that is really
the animating spirit of our land.
Confidence and trust in the friendship of
America is being built up all around the world
by the relief work of the Red Cross. Nor shall
this splendid organization lack for support in
peace or in war.

Sousa and the Children.
John Phillip Sousa is a man who puts his
heart into his job. v The enthusiasm with which
he impregnates every member of his band is
perhaps the secret of his musical success. Even
the audience catches fire from the sparks of his
inspiration.
The Omaha schools which shut down in the
afternoon to allow the pupils to attend the after
noon concert at the Auditorium could not have
chosen a better opportunity. The happy way
in which this great American conductor draws
harmony from his band might well be expected
to give many a child a new understanding of
the pleasures of music, making the long practice
hours at piano or violin not torture, but a
triumphal progress toward virtuosity.
Those Italian peasants who are dividing up
the great estates of the land owners have no
experts to tell them that there is no profit in
agriculture.

her present predicament. It should teach her
how the other fellow feels.

The federal grand jury hat not beeu idle.
AT eleven o'clock came the pause in the day's
occupations that is known as the Armistice
pause. The British cabinet' ultimatum to Ger
many in 1914 expired at 11 o'clock; but, as the
London Times notes, Mrs. Asquith in her Auto
biography has the cabinet sitting in watchful
waiting until 12 o'clock. It was twelve o'clock
by German time; and the question is whether
the British cabinet or Mrs. Asquith made a mis
take. "MAN," as they sing in Princess Ida, "is na
ture's sole mistake." An he never appears more
of a rummy than when some woman kills her
self for him, in his embarrassed presence. His
first thought is always of himself.
But Would It Not Require a Geologic Period?
Sir: Tou are kind enough to refer to my
lecture on "literary Taste nnd How to Acquire
It." I venture to suggest that your summary
viz.: "It is to read only llrst-elass stuff," not
only fails to meet the problem, but represents
exactly the view that I am out to demolish. If,
as I presume, you mean that the ambitious per
son who now read Harold Bell Wright should
sit down to the works of Shakespeare, I can tell
vou at once that tho process will be a failure.

swains. Better drop the matter as in all

"THE Americans," observes the Japan Ad
vertiser, "are very candid and indifferent, and
though they sometimes seem to be engaged in
machinations, in most cases their only desire is
to make much money. None of them are bent
on anything like military aggression."
"Slices or Life."
(From P.ose Macaulay's "Potterism.")
, Gideon said, "I'm afraid I'm hopeless about
novels Just now. I'm sick of the form slices
of life served up cold in three hundred pages.
Oh, it's very nice: it makes nice reading for peo
ple. But what's the use? Except, of course, to
kill time for those who prefer it dead. But as
things in themselves, as art, they've been ruined
by excess. My critical sense is blunted just now.
I can hardly feel the difference, though I see It,
between a good novel and a bad one. I couldn't
write one, good or bad, to save my life. I know
that. And I've got to the stage where I wish
other people wouldn't. I wish every one would
shut up, so that we could hear ourselves think
like in the Armistice Day pause, when all the
noise stopped."
- Jane shook her head. "Tou may be sure we
shan't do that. Not likely. We all want to
hear ourselves talk. And quite right, too. We've
got things to say." s
"Nothing of importance. Few thinjrsi that
wouldn't be better unsaid. Life isn't talking."
-"A journalist's is," Jane pointed out, and ho
nodded. -
"Quite true. Horribly true. It's chiefly my
self I'm hitting at. But at least we journalists
don't take ourselves solemnly; we know the
stuff is babble to fill a moment. Novelists and
poets don't always know that: they're apt to
think it matters. And, of course, so far as any
of them can make and hold beauty, even a frag
ment of it here and there, it does matter. The
trouble Is that thev mostly can't do anything
of the sort. They don't mostly even know how
to try. All but a few verse-makers are shallow,
muddled, or sentimental, and most novelists
are commercial as well. They haven't the
means; they aren't adequately equipped; they've
nothing in them worth the saying. Why say it,
then?"
THERE are no more mere rat catchers. They
are now "rat engineers," and they "investigate

WATCHING FOR TROUBLE.
From the standpoint of cure no
condition is more unsatisfactory
than thut group of chronic inflam
mations of the Joints in which falls
deforming arthriUs. hebcrdous nodes,
and what many call chronic rheuma
tism. For instance, 'jero is a womin 65
years old. She Ktill has a good deal
of pride in her personal appearance.
She is dressy, and by a fair use of
life savers is able to keep herself
apparently fit. She has some spunk.
Maybe sho is trying to keep up
with some gay boy of a husband,
but whatever tho reason she is pretty
game. But after awhile sho notices
that tho last joint of some finger is
enlarging. Presently she has ac
quired a crook in her index finger
as well as enlarged finger joints. '
This is mighty npt to take the snap
out of her. After that she is apt
to settle down as a home body, tak
ing care of tho cat and darning for
her grandchildren. Maybe she does
not give up until she has tried tho
doctors for a a few rounds. Truth
compels me to 3aV that she gets very
little for her money and trouble- as
a rule.
A more general rheumatoid ar
thritis is a more serious trouble. It
involves the large joints as much as
the small ones, and in time it not
only lames and cripples, but it makes
bedfast and chairfast a lot of people
of mind and spirit and otherwise
good constitution. They, too. have
got very little from treatment. I
fell like passing on, to both groups
whatever suggestions I hear about
It is generally agreed now that all
the disorders in this group are the
result of x infection. Some sort of
bacterium has absorbed from some-
i where, been carried to some joint or
other, and has 1-jcated there, it is
generality agreed that these bacteria
are mild In character, milder even
than tubercle bacilli, and once they
locate in a joint or in the bone near
a Joint they are slow to produce
trouble. The trouble they cause is
slow in starting, s never violent, and
progresses gradually.
Sometimes it is possible to find
the place where the infection entered
the body and to attend to It. but
that does not always help tho Joints
and bones In which bacteria are al
ready located and causing harm.
That the teeth and gums atfe fre
quently the site of entrance of the
bacteria Is recognized. Some cases of
rheumatoid arthritis can remember
having bloody saliva about the time
the trouble startad, or before.
Another frequent site is infected
sinuses so-calle-I catarrh. Even
physicians are -iispos' 4 to overlook
chronic bronchitis with sputum, in
fected gall Madder, old prostatic in
fections in the male and pus tubes
and other suppurative pelvic troubles
in females as tha cause.
Dr. A. O. Bassler says that after
the groups caused by these troubles
have been separated out we have a
very large number which are due to'
chronic bowel troubles, colitis and
some other forms of digestive trou
ble. It is true that some people have
got some relief from'daily washing of
as much of the large bowel as can
be washed. He ,'oes about it much
more scientifically.
By bacteriological examination he
arrives at an opinion as to what Is
wrong in the bacteriology of the in
testinal tract. Then, by changing the
food, ho changes the bacteriology.
He diets not to change the chemistry
of his patients, but to change the
tfacteriology of their intestines. He
will make more headway against
these mild chronic joint troubles
when the people understand better
tho significance of a little loss of
suppleness and begin at that time
to find and remove the cause.
If the Dream Comes True
The straw stack on the farm may prove the
solution for the increasing shortage of gasoline.
In Kansas, where straw stacks grow in greater
profusion than elsewhere -in this land, govern
ment chemists are conducting experiments, in
the destructive distillation of wheat straw into
fuel suitable for use in heating, lighting and for
driving internal combustion engines. The process
hitherto used is too expensive to make the fuel
commercially profitable, but it is hoped to
cheapen it so that it may be produced as cheaply
as the present price of gasoline. It has been
demonstrated, according to the reports given
out, that one ton of straw will produce 40 gal
lons of fuel. On the basis of the estimate of
this year's crop of straw there is enough in Kan
sas alone to produce 45,000,000 gallons, and the
Sunflower state is but- one in a galaxy of states,
that grow wheat in somewhat lesser quantities.
It is the dream of the chemists that the day
will dawn when the Kansas farmer will have
his own still to turn his straw, now valueless,
into fuel to drive his sedan, and that when he
drives to town he will be able to load into his
car a few gallons of the home product, gasoline,
or its equivalent, of course, to sell to some of his
friends who do not have their own straw stack.
It is estimated that Kansas has been wasting
straw that would produce $12 an acre additional
gross revenue, if the dream comes true. Kansas
may point the way to every-farmer-his-own-au-tomobile-fuel
producer, and here's hoping she
may. The straw stack provided the fodder for
the yoke of oxen, the motive power of an earlier
day. In harmony with progress it is fitting that
it should feed the modern method of locomo
tion. Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

HI
There Is AnEasy
Way to Finish Your
Fall and Winter
Sewing
The Sewing You Have
Wanted Done and Oat
of the Way
perhaps has been bothering you
to some extent. Either you
haven't found the time to start
it, or your old machine isn't
working right, or you do not feel
equal to the task of sitting at
your machine and foot-pedaling
for a day or two.
Whatever the reason may be, we
suggest you gather up your sew
ing and bring it to the
ELECTRIC SHOP
where, Jn a well arranged and
specially constructed room on the
sales floor, away from all view
of the shoppers you can sit at
any one of ten
Western Electric Portable
Sewing Machines
and finish your sewing in little
time. A practical dressmaker is
in attendance who will give you
instructions in eutting, fitting
and seing, while a rcpresenta
tive from the Western Electric
factory will explain fully the
many advantages of an electric
sewing machine and why every
home should be the posscsor of
one.
Only Six Dollars is required as
a down payment for you to be
come the possessor of a West
ern Electric, and a full year'?
time is extended in which to pay
the balance of tho purchase
price.
Whether you are desirous of pur
chasing an electric sewing ma
chine at this time or not, we ask
you to bring your dress goods
to the Electric Shop, and there,
under the supervision of a prac
tical dressmaker make your own
dresses on a Western Electric
Sewing Machine.
