4. Homo Rule Charier for Omaha, with

HOUSE ROLL NO. 1.
If the legislature is to take any action regu
lating the city government of Omaha, it should
be' in the direction of . providing better condi
tions. The Bee firmly believes the members of
the legislature realize this, and that they will
do nothing they are, not convinced is for the
city's good. Therefore, the advocates of any
me"asureaffccting Omaha only should be pre
pared to show that there is a substantial reason
back of then- plan, and that its operation will
' be to secure the further good of the community.
House Roll No. 1 contemplates investing the
Metropolitan Water DistnctNwith independent
power to submit to voters the question of issu
ing bonds to extend an "existing" lighting plant.
This refers to the smalt plant established at the
Minne Lusa pumping station. The bill differs
from the existing, law in. two essentials. At
present the city commissioners may i on their
own5 motion, or must on the petition of. citizens',
submit the question of, acquiring an existing
plant or 'constructing a new -one. This is ample
authority for any cuizen sufficiently interested
to move in the matter. Under it municipal
ownership' of-an electric lighting plant need be.
postponed no longer than the development of a
demand , for the same by tfle community.
The existing law requires , that, three-fifths
,of the voters taking part in the-election must
give their assent; the pending bill reduces this
to a majority. - v V " ;
So far as discovered, no good reason has been
advanced forrchanging the-law as it stands.. No
showing, has been made that any advantage will
come, to Omaha ;by ; adding a third method
whereby a popular expression caii be obtained
on the question involved. , If no effort is made
under the provisions of the- present law, which
appear to be, liberal and inclusive,. how will any
public service be rendered by clothing the Wa-,
ter Board with a power .now" enjoyed by the
city council and by the people themselves? ' '.
The argument ,may .bev farfetched,, but it is
conceivable .that serious confusion; will; ".arise
from this triplication of authority. Should Iouse
Roll No. 1 become law, it would be possible
for the. Water Board to order an election- to de
cide on issuing bonds to extend an "existing plant,
and for the city council to order at the same
time in election to pass on' the question of z
bond issue; to eftlr acquire by purchase or to
erect a plant, and both of these proposition
nfight receive ' favorable, endorsement. What,
then would be ' the situation?
The i Bee submit, again that no good reason
has yet been advanced in support of House Roll.
No, 1, while, many may! be arrayed against it
We ask; the legislators to consider the proposal
carefully ,Vand not. to act:so as. to further com
'plicate the -domestic problems of the state's
metropolis. . ;, r- '"'' '-.'' ;.' , :.'v' V. '
" v ,:.' Moonshine and Crime. ;
Raising a great hullabaloo over crimes com
1 mitted by men filled with : moonshine whisky
will never convince the public that prohibition
' is wrong, but only that -the liquor traffic, whether
( made legal or? illicit; is morally criminal. Intoxi
cated men before this have beaten tjheir wives. and
slain their children, and in fact even "Wen with
out liquor have! acted in the same crazed manner
, It is a pitiful tale,1 that of the Chieafroan who
held his baby over a gas jet until she was dead
then successfully , attempted suicide. But ' no
attempt to make it appear that if. he had been
' abW to stumble back from a saloon instead of
drinking at home' his family would today be
living united and happy in their squalor:, can
convince. ... ; . . ''.
Neither is it pqssible to maintain that tnoonV
shine whisk . possesses worse characteristics
than- the old-time" commercial product In
those other' days, moonshine produced in the
lulls of Virginia and Tennessee was considered
superior in purity. The adulteration of whisky
by the regular distilleries furnished one reason for
closing them down,, and it was not cn account
of the -weakness of their' product, but because
of the artificial and sometimes injurious color
ing matter1 and other ingredients. To paraphrase
and reverse an old sentiment; all whisky is bad,
but some Is worse. It is doubtful if the average
moonshine product, excluding wood alcolr&l
. mixtures, is any mpre dangerous or injurious
than much of that which was consumed over
the. bars. ' : '
; Putting Nebraska on Wheels
. If every motor. car in Nebraska were a six
passenger one; all of us could ride. It wouldn't
be a joy ride, though, for although this state
' lead in ' per capita ownership of motor cars,
there being one toevcry 5.9 persons, they , are
more for business' than for pleasure. .
"7 Agricultural states such as Nebraska, Iowa
and South Dakota rank high in the automobile
census, although California, with . its ' sjifendid
system of roads and its scenic advantages, comes
second. The truck 5s becoming. a regular oart
of farm equipment; and the need for quick runs
into town', has made 'roadsters and during cars
necessary," also. ; ' " ... ' v U " , '
This is a motorized age, and the farmer is
.'notslow io take advantage of every, labor-saving
and time-saving device. . Railroads and street
railway, systems no doubt : feel the competition
' of motorized traffic, but they are the only losers."
andHheest of society the gainer. We are still
far. from a condition -where every man needing
a car or truck has one, and the business of sell
ing them, and more especially their equipment,
ought to be more lively here than in other parts
of the country slower to catch on. ,!

. , ' Our Shame Discovered.
We had almost written "uncovered." for what
man is there who will not appreciate his naked
ness when he reads what Mr. E, E. Brazer has
scheduled as the proper wardrobe for the wcllJ
dressed man.' Of course.'we all want to be well
dressed; that little bit of vanity characteristic
of the male through all nature leads man just
as it does the peacock or the turkey gobbler,
and he wants to look his best in presence of the
ladies. Not to mention his secret hope that his
appearance and' general sartorial design will
awaken envy in the breast of his rival, for every
other man is his rival.; Mr. Brazer (whoever
he is)'tells us how shocked hewas to see men
in the presence of ladies with ( nothing on but a
Tuxedo suit. Oh, horrors, and also splash.
And shame's crown of shame is made complete
by the dreadful disclosure that some degenerate
male person even appeared clad in a business
suit where ladies were in evening frocks. How
far has our republic drifted from its moorings,
when such things as this may be solemnly set
down against us! '
But Mr. Brazer cheers us up. In the future
this will, not occur.' No man will dare show up
where members of the opposite sex are on dis-.
play unless he is arrayed like unto the head
waiter, at least. That is final. Some other
thoughts he gjve us are worthy also of con
sideration. : He enumerates clothing to the cost
of $1,025 , as " absolutely requisite for the well
dressed man. This merely, includes coats, pants
and vests, By the time the haberdashery is
added, and conceivably it- must be, in this' cli
mate at least, the bill will be trebled, while the
shoemaker and the hatter will also take a little
toll from the gent who tries to keep up to re
quired standards. When a; few summer suits
are provided for, he will have around 5,000 tied
up in glad rags. i
How do you expect the bricklayer or jthe
plumber" to properly dress the.-part on a paltry
$10 a day? It can't be done. If, we are going
to be a nation' of well-dressed men, and solace
Mr. Brazer's perturbed soul' by our outward
appearance, wages have justgot to be revised
upward, t .. ; ' , , ,

Deserving Democrats and the Pay Roll. '
. A little, uproar was generated in the senate
on Tuesday by .the action of the majority in re
fusing to proceed with confirmation of certain
pending presidential nominations." . " It. ''was' ar
gued .that public service is seriously, interfered
with because a considerable number of posi
tions are not immediately filled. M.aybe this is
true in some degree, but not to the extent that
is urged by. the minority. - What has happened
is that' the heads of the1, different departments
of the government have made a determined ef
fort to fill every possible ' vacancy, selecting
men of their own choiee, so that when the ad
ministration .changes hands -deserving democrats
will be found attached to'. the pay roll under
conditions that will ;make it difficult to dislodge
them. ... ., ,''',. .'A'.- ' "
The election did hot turn on ."the issue of
hov many or exactly wno was: to 'be employed
in; the government service. One 'of the 'issues,,
however,, was the padded; roll, " Republicans spc-,
cifically promised not only' to reduce the num
ber of employees of the department's,' bitt to re-;-arrange
the work so that better results could be
achieved.. Democrats have planned that on re
tiring from power in March they . wfll leave be
hind, them "a" host of faithful 'party servitors,
more or less: permanently connected with .the
Treasury by reason 6f having been nominated
-by. the president and confirmed in their position
by the senate. It is equally pfain that the ma
jority of the senate does .not acquiesce in this
plan. The Jacksonian doctrine is, perhaps, more
honored in the 'breach, than the observance, yet
it ' does have some potency when " put to the
acid test. '.'.' i ' V ; -''-"'". v . -

To the People of. Neola and Surrounding

us. It was one of the most sneaking, dirty,
undermining, well-planned tricks that, a
smooth-tongued, hard-hearted bunch of ro
tations could plan and carry out. They all
knew that we had forbidden, on account of
bulldozing and unmanly ways the Dermis-

the right of tresspassing on our premises,
this scuplulous young man. They planned
this trick, called, asked our concent for her

if I haven't a certain mellow wisdom. But if you
are by way of weaving theories as to the nature
of things irt, general, and if you . want to try
those theories on some one who will luminously
confirm them or powerfully rend them, I must,
with a hang-dog air,- warn you that I am not
your man. I suffer from a strong suspicion
that things in general cannot be accounted for
through any formula or set of formulae, and
that any one philosophy, howsoever new, Is no
better than another. That is 'in itself a sort of
philosophy and I suspect it accordingly; but it
has for he the merit of being the only one I
can fhake head or tail of. If you try to expound
any other philosophic system to 'me, you will
find not merely that I can detect no flaw in it
(except the one great flaw just suggested), but
also that I- haven't, after a minute or two, the
vaguest notion of what you are driving at.

" MOST BORN BLUE EYES.
A correspondent want to know .if
tho eyes of all very -young babies
are blue. I gladly answer the ques
tion because 1 can both from obser
vation and recent reading.
I have ix)ticed that the eyes of
practically all newborn babies are
blue. An editorial in the Jaurnal of
the American Medical association
says even in negro babies the eyes
may be blue in early life. I would
like to know whether Dr. Wilber
force Williams agrees with that, at
least as regards the majority of
negro babies.
This is because the iris is very
thmnd contains very little pigment
and t.he color of the deeper eye
shows through U. As tlic months
pass by the thickness of. the pig
ment layer increases and the color
of the eyes may change. At 3
m6nths three-fourths still are blue,
at 6 months 70 per cent, at months
63 per cent, and at 12 months 63"
per cent. This was in a Munich
study. Had the study been made at
Stockholm on the one hand or a
Rcfme on the other the percentages
might have been different. .
Another observer at Munich found
that if the bay was poorly nour
ished or had persisting bowel
trouble the eyes becamei less blue,
taking on a dirty gray) shade or
even a brown. " -
,And now for the other condition.
Dr. W. D. Wise saw a boy B years
of age the white of whose eyes were
an azure blue. He noticed that the
boy's mother had eyes, the whites of
which were unusually bluish. Thdre
is something of a blue tinge - in
most .eyes, but these eyes were more
blue, than whites of eyes, usually
are. The boy was seen by Dr. Wise
because of a broken leg. Without
faHinir or twisting or in any way
straining he had snapped both bones
of his lower leg. The boy never 'had
had scurvy, rickets, or any otner
constitutional disease. The mother
gave a history Of having broken her
right arm three times and ner 'ieit
fti-m twice, all from" trivial causes.
The mother's father, the child's
grandfather, wasi reputed to have
broken his cOllar'bone and his arm,
but from rather severe falls. He
was said to have the same kind of
blue eyes. The little boy had two
brothers with the same blue cast
to the whiic3 of their eyes. They
had broken1 no bones. One sister
with the same blue eye "whites" to
her eyes, had had a broken arm from
a severe fall. '
Here was a family consisting of a
grandfather, a mother, and .four
children, all with blue sclerotica. Of
the group, all but two had had one
or more broken bones, often almost
without cause. Both conditions run
in the family. They probably" were,
inherited.; If the bones are brittle
in a family look for blue sclerotica.
If the members of a family have
blue sclerotica let them be on guard
against fractures.

Omaha, Jan. 15. To the Editor
of The Bee:'Smatl towns out in the
state find a delight in holding up
Omaha as a horrible example of
what a city' ought not to be. It is
a favorite pastime" with them, a
major sport, jndoors and outdoors,,
to censure this city for the crimes
that are played up in the newspapers.
I am not excusing or condoning -the
lawbreaking and general meanness
perpetrated in Omaha. bu one
can't help resenting these flings
from the small towns which the
devil himself is said to have created
some time: after Gid made the
country and man built the larger
cities.
One John A. Edner took a "fall"
out of Omaha through The -Bee's
Letter-Box the other dav. He hails
from Nortjn Platte. If that town is
without sin let Mr. Edner and every
other citizen of that town take up
stones and heave them this way.
But news stories from that city the
last few weeks or months would in
dicate that North Platte i wouldn't
be able'to qualify in this respect: It
is a town of 10,000 or less. Omaha
has 20 times that population. Multi
ply North Platte's crimes and gen
eral cussedness by 20, put in three
metropolitan newspaper? with re
porters trained to ferret out sensa
tional news material, and there
probably wouldn't be much jdiffer
enee. ' . . , '
Furthermore the small towns are
to a very large extent the training
camps from which the city crooks
come. Omaha and every other large
city would liave trouble enough on
its hands to keeo in check the vi
cious clement which is its own
prodovt. "fltit, it must contend with
the budding criminals who are
drummed out of the towns around
it. It costs money to maintain a
jail, feed, clothe, and house law
violators, so the town marshal .who
catches a locnl crook orders him to
"move on." Or .if brought up before
the police judge a common sentence
is "24 hours to .leave town." and off
they go to,tne larger cities where
their education in crime is finished.
Tf Mr. Edner on his visit, to Oma
ha made . an , investigation of its
morals he probably (mind exactly
what he was-looking tor. Wo .have
all kinds here. O.ut the lawlessness
pets into the news, and the outsider

1. You may be able to cure your

appear .to be crowding your digestive
organs a little hard as It Is. ;

using up all your energy. You must
guard against fatigue and worry.
