Reconimeiufttions of Attorney General Davis for amendment of the indeterminate sen tence and parole laws, establishing a procedure to be followed by the board of pardons created by the new constitution, appear to The' Bee to be basically sound and worthy of careful con- ' sider'ation by Governor McKelvic and the stats legislators. " ' . . .. The attorney general's proposals cover three main items: , . . v ' First Provision for thorough h ana tun publicity on all applications for par f " dons or paroles. f - - : Second Limitation of the indeterminate sentence by eliminating . crimes against the 1 .person or attempted crimes of this nature ... trom its scope. i . Third Extension .of the power of the courts to fix a minimum as well as a maximum " ... sentence in cases covered by the indeterminate sentence law. Quite properly the attorney general up- noias ,-tne principle 'Ot the indeterminate . sentence. It meets' the need for a system of administering the criminal law that gives con- w - v v IMV V Ultima ill,! i (til offender but to his possible, reformation. It reeosrnizes that tlirre mnv fi tm nonitanA - - u , f ...wv, that man's soul may be purged of the evil once within it and become clean, making him again a nt memoer oi society. But the attorney general recognizes also that certain and adequate punisment constitutes an example to others tempted. He recognizes furthermore that punishment by law is civiliza tion's substitute for private vengeance; if it be allowed td become too lax.i the individual's out raged feeling may take the law into his own hands and mob law may result. ; In some details '-The Bee disagrees with Mr. : Davis. It" doubts' the advisability of published notice of forthcoming hearings on pardons and i . - .i . . . . i i . t paroies in mc county in wnicn xne crime was committed. It inclines to believe that the pro vision for notice to the judge, the- county attor ney and sheriff of such county, with mandatory orovision for recommendations from such offi cials, constitutes sufficient notice to the com munity and saves the applicant fromdanger of "prejudice on the part of an organized minority. .The probability is that the local officers can be depended upon to reflect fairly the majority sentiment of their respective communities as to the propriey of the proposed clemency. The ...! : .L-i C ec suggest, luriiicruiurc, inai provisions uc made for application of the indeterminate sen tence to cases involving crimes against the per son, in cases of first offenders barely of legal I age. The problem of pardons and paroles may not attract thr nprsnnnt intercut nf lecislators as much as manv other ouestions before them, but nevertheless it it important that they should equip the new board of pardons with a pro cedure fitted to insure justice, fair 'and equal. - Who Pays the Taxes? Occasionally some tory . of the old school Will say privately mat iiu one uut laAyajrcia ought to be allowedto vote, especially on ques tions of issuing 'public bonds. Occasionally, also, some incident arises to show that no one out side of charitable or penal institutions can be " classed as extmpt from taxation, n The arrange ment between some apartment house owners and their landlords by which rents rtse or fall in accordance with the movement of taxes offers such proof. It is probable that there are some men and Avomen who believe they are practically free from taxation, tut this belief .gradually will be " exDuncred if the custom of cassinst on or divid ing the burden thus lrankiy is enlarged, vvnen - ...... ...u- . .u' .... . .r.i.-. .

I. mA . gincc can uc uu)u in many cities, and without doubt wiU be re sponsible for the saving of many lives, both of drivers and persons afoot. The total of 3,803 persons killed in automobile accidents last year represents 14.1 deaths out of each 00,000 of population. There has been an increase every year since 1915, and an increase of 245 over 1918. But, to continue to look on the hopeful side of this condition, the number of automobiles is being enlarged each year. Fifteen years ago the accident death rate was 8 per 100,000, and now it stands at 14.1; in this same time there has been a greater proportionate increase in the number of ears. The attention devoted to pre-, vention of reckless driving has had its effect, and there is no reason to despair of a gradual mini mizing of the dangers of . the road. if. 1 Mr. Burleson's Concluding Mistake. Postmaster General Burleson's attempt to shift part of the burden of the deficit of his department on the shoulders of the rank and file of the employes does not coincide with the public belief that those in the mail service were underpaid and are now getting no more than they earn or need to maintain an American standard of living. His effort to blame "paid agitatop" for-iemoralizing the service by or ganizing the government employes into protec tive associations may also be considered as the product of his pique over the success of the movement for an increase in salaries. Too often the natural working of human nature is laid to agitation. 'More often the ex pression of dissatisfaction and a desire for bet ter conditions is spontaneous, merely pushing forward men to be its spokesmen". In cases where this is true, it is blindest folly to single out one mam or a little group and load them with the entire responsibility. ' Americans are not sheep, nor do they re quire bellwethers when they : have personal knowledge of questions at issue. Mr. Burleson evidently aspired to be a bellwether and is cha grined at his failure. This is not to say that there "are no agitators or that controversy js not sometimes stirred up by propaganda ema nating not from a public source but a private one. Agitators exist on both sides of the fence, and by some the postmaster general might be so classified. There are radical stirrers up of dis trust and trouble as well as conservative. In some instances men who perhaps see the oppor tunity for a fat living pursue the" policy of at tempting to scare business men and employers with conjured up visions of blue ruin and red destruction if they do not contribute to the sup port of a counter-offensive of propaganda. On the other hand there are men who paint a pic ture of modern life as a desperate struggle in which happiness -can only come from revolu tionary changes in the wage system. Both, these extremes must fall under suspi cious scrutiny, for there is no real public senti ment that gives birth to either they are patently manufactured for personal ends. This being the case, it is not only unjust but dangerous to refer to every movement for moderate reform or change as the work of agitators. Those who occupy the middle ground, with their grievances and desires self-contained, should not be en couraged to regard themselves as radicals nor Koaded by being put beyond the pale ot Amen- canism. - Mr. Burleson's manifest endeavor to escape culpability by putting the -blame for the natural result of mismanagement 'Onto somebody else, cither congress or the organized employes of the Postoffice department, is too transparent. He showed himself long ago to be entirely out of step with the times, and should have been retired at the end of his first term. However, he has the distinction of being the only member of the first Wilson cabinet actually reappointed and confirmed by the senate, so that a portion of the responsibility for his record lingers around the White House. Cuttiar Down Automobile Death. . More than 10 persons a day were killed In . automobile accidents in the last year, according ...to the census report. There will be some like the old lady, who read the menu of a meal that Amitrf ha irvA fdr 17 ffnt and marvrlrrt tint ;, that it was to large but that .lt was so little. -"Truly, when tne sees the congestion of the . streets In the heart of all great cities, the reck less driving on the more open roads, and the Mrurrvta nedestrians who do not always exer- . rli the rfatet far at crossings, the marvel is to be found in the fool proof developments of the motor car. ..' And yet there it opportunity for reducing -"the fatalities of. motoring. The traffic safety 'idrive now being waged in Omaha is duplicated Between Ireland and England. Conditions that have developed in Ireland are a challenge to the government of England so direct that it can not be much longer evaded. That a city like Cork can be laid waste by fire and sword without exciting comment through out the world is incredible. When an invading German army so conducted itself at Liege and Lovain, a blaze of indignation ran through America, and such surely will not cause wonder if it is "now expressed at the destruction of Cork. It is not enough to tell us that the disorder over there is the outgrowth of fanaticism; that may be understood. The entire Sinn Fein cam paign, with that of the Orangemen on the other hand, has been characterized by such exhibi tions of bigoted devotion to a single idea 'as seldom has been noted elsewhere in history. Nothing will be gained by debating the causes just now. The point is, how shall (the situation be remedied and order restored? England will not admit that a state of war exists, for that would be to give startding to the "Irish republic," which so insistently makes its claims that it deserves the recognition accorded to belligerents. Yet it does seem that the Brit ish government, even though its attention be distracted by other serious complications, should find some more effective means than have so far been employed to put down the disorder that has 4S0 disturbed Ireland. 'Black and Tan" re prisals wear much the same hue as the reported outrages of the "murder bands," and the assas sinations in Dublin are scarcely more repre hensible than the burning of Cork. The Lon don Times weeks ago referred to the military forces in Ireland as being "perilously Indisci plined," and events have justified the comment. It may be that the Sinn Fein opposition is los ing ground, as has been stated by government authorities, but its last kicks are surely vigorous enough. From whatever angle the affair is .viewed, the conclusion is natural that the interests of humanity will be better served when the out lawry now rampant in Ireland is squelched. Friends of Ireland are as deeply concerned in this as friends of England. ' The dolor of Albert 'Sidney Burleson's swan song will undoubtedly win whatever prize the administration hung tip for such efforts. Delaware's blue laws ought to offset as well as explain its reluctance to adopt woman's suffrage. , Too many auto wrecks again; drivers should look up the condition of brakes as well as chains. , Mr. Townlcy is going to give Nebraska a joyride and ask the farmers to pay for it.

When the late Elbert Hubbard was a boy In McLean county, Illi nois, the prevailing custom, at least among the people with whom he was thrown in contact, was to make luse of the services of "yarb doctors." When a sick person consulted one of these healers he was looked over, sized up, his tongue, pulse, and the "yallers" or his eyes were observed, and he was told to "come back next Friday for his medicine." Then the "yarb doctor" went out in the woods, hunted up some roots and leaves and seeds, took them home, stewed them up on the kitch en stove, and when the patient came back on Friday fie was given .a jug ful of a vile looking, vile smeHlng and vile tasting compound and told to take a gobletful at a time. These concoctions got Elbert Hub bard's goat to such an extent that ha ran hwpv from home, srrew long hair, and became a reformer, an antl-vaccinationist, anti-vivisectlon-ist, antl-mediclne-out-of-abottlelst, and generally anti-medic. Had Dr. B. Fantus been Elbert Hubbard's doctor when that genius was "in bad," the explosive, convention bursting energy might have been worked off in another di rection. Dr. Fantus has two axioms ohniir Tnerllratln? children Which SD nly to some extent to adults. They are: "A struggle in administration sometimes does more harm' than the medicine can, do good. "The more' we know about medi cines the less1 offensive is our medi cation." , ' . What a pity it did not fall to the w nf r TTontiia ta niira-e Elbert Hubbard in those earlier formative days.

It's False Theory. E. W. writes: '.'-In an old book 1 have read that if pregnant women regulate their diet to exclude food containing the elements that go to make the bones hard, much of the pain and danger of childbirth would be eliminated. Is there any truth In this? If there Is, what ara the foods which contain this ele ment? Would this have any evil effect on the formation of the child? No woman would want to give' birth toa subnormal cfilld. no matter how great the ease." REPLY. Nothing to it. The bones are rich In lime. The great lime food la milk. Vegetables also , are lime foods. The pregnant woman who refrains from eating milk and vegetables is unwise. Muoons Colitis Explained. Mrs. M. writes: "What is mucous colitis, how does it affect the patient, and what Is it cause? Is it a dan gerous disease?" 1 . REPLY. Ttfucoua colitis is a chronic condi tion of the colon, attended by the production of considerable quantities of a mucus which is less moist and more firm than ordinary mucus, and which ofttimes forms molds or casts of the tube in which it forms. The disease generally follows pro longed constipation. It is attended by worries, introspection, neuras thenia, and by pain when the casts are coming away. It Is a very un pleasant but not a dangerous dis ease. - i Depends, on Your Taste. . Worried writes: "I would like to quit drinking coffee and want a. sub stitute. I have tried postum, but It does not agree with me. I do not like cocoa or tea." REPLY If it Is the oil and, bitters In coffee which disagree with you take coca cola. If it is the caffien which Is harming you, take coffee from which the caffien has been removed. There are such coffees on the market. If you want a hot drink containing no caffien and none of the coffee, oils or bitters, try the various cereal cof fees until you find one that pleases you. Choice between them Is a mat ter of taste. All are wholesome. Give Her Less Fats.v Mrs. B. R. G. writes: "What Is indicated if a baby's urine has a strong odor of ammonia?
