.Why Not Let the People Decide?
Whether the .fight over &ous Roll No. ' 1
starts on the floor of the house today, the mid
dle of next week, or at any future period, one
thing should be kept clearly in mind. That is
that the bill as written merely adds a third to
the, already existing methods for obtaining an
expression by the people on the question of
municipal electric lighting. ,
' This point is deliberately obfuscated by cer
tain proponents of the measure, who persist in
the, attempt to deceive by insinuating that only
through' the Metropolitan Water District of
Omaha can the sought-for boon be obtained.
This is not true. Under existing law the city
commission may, or the people by petition can
compel it to, submit the alternative proposition'
of purchase of an existing or erection of a com
peting electric light and power plant No power
given the commission or the citizens' is more
plainly expressed in law than this.
Why not let the people of Omaha pass on'
If the Water board feels that the-extension
of the plant at Minue Lusa is essential to, the.
well being of the community,' it is within the ex
ercise of the citizenship rights of its members to
set on foot the movement by petition, without
troubling the legislature to enact a special law,
giving the Metropolitan Water JJistnct ot
v Omaha "paramount" authority to , submit the
question.., . '
The legislature, should take full cognizance
of this fact. Also) the members should be well
advised as to the position of Mayor Smith, who
has been brought into the controversy, and who
list's been misrepresented in the same manner as
has the, general aspect of the question. Mayor
Smith was elected, is, an advocate of municipal
ownership of public "IrtititiesV ' He was a cham
pion of the purchase of the existing gas plant,
and aided in bringing about 'the acquisition o
ti rvir-"'rvli r!rv T!ifatie, in liis in, Iff.
mcyif he' feels that certain provisions of House
Roll No. 1 are immicalto the best yjlerests of
the public his' adherence to the principle in'
volved in the general question should not be
challenged. , . '
House Roll No. 1. if enacted, will permit
the citizens to vote only on the extension of an
existing J plant. No option "of purchase of an
other ; is granted! The bill also restricts the ,
city in ts right to; contract for service,' by giv
ing to the Metropolitan Water District of
Omaha a monopoly of street lighting to the
extent of its ability to provide for public needs.
Now jlhe city deals direct with the company,
regulating rates and other conditions of the con
tract; under the provision of JIousc Roll No. 1,
the decision is finally referred to the State Rail
way commission, taking the matter entirely out
: of the hands of the citizens. " '
Omaha is not suffering from the. exactions

the city and the Nebraska Power' company, are
adjusted on the decision of the city council.and
not by a tribunal at Lincoln, where the Com
munity has only; a collateral interest. - Under
the control of the city council, electric service,
is still furnished to, Onialn on a prewar cost
basis, while '.lie charges for gas have been
greatly increased, as all users know.
If the leeislature reallv wants Jo' assist
Omaha in the management of its own affairs,
rouse Roll No. 1 will go to deserved defeat..
for' it docs not provide fo anything the citizens
do not. already possess, and does take away
yooie powers they now have. Why not let the,
pebp! of Omaha pass on this question for'
themselves? . t
' Politics Provokes Profanity, v
- When you read in the news columns thai
Gen. Charles Gates Dawes usd some sulphuric
language before a congressional committee, keep
in mind that he was under some provocation.
He was being questioned as to certain transac
tions in the, name of the United States while he
wt at the head of the "S. 0. S." in Fraitcc Wc
feel very much inclined to put in with General
Dawes, at least to the extent 'of endorsing tin
general tenor of his remarks. , - '
First of all, it is not fair to parade the doings
of the army in France as a screen for the waste
f ere at home. Those who were in command of
the American expeditionary forces had a definite
object to accomplish, and time was the first and
most imperative: factpr. Any method or means
by which the winning of the war was expedited
was and is justifiable. If General Dawes con
tributed to the great end we all had in mind
through his efficiency as an organizer, making
oi the service of supply a real agency of service
to the army, and it appears that he'did, he could
only do so by co-ordinating all the various
branches of the service, and keeping' each keyed
up to top speed. Perhaps it was wasteful, when
compared with private enterprises operating
under peace-time conditions, but it was war aid
at the front. A vast difference exists between
the situation dealt with by the officer at the head
of the "S. O. S.", in France and that which
engaged the disorganized and widely scattered
agencies that pretended to perform a similar
function in America.
; However emphatic. the following words may
sound, they hit a mark at which others than
General Dawes are aiming:
Look at the pinhead; politicians who are
raising hell about promotion for men who.
earned them in France. They're doing it for
petty reasons. It's a dirty shame. I wasn't
i in the regular army, but I can be fair.-
We trust the careful editor of the report thai
is to be made to the housi by this committee"
will not expurgate or denature any jof the re
marks made by the - peppery , Chicago banker.
He "had not the patience of Job, perhaps, and he
did depart from the exact proprieties.. But he
expressed the feelings of a large d respectable'
element of his fellow citizens,' and, while, he
proved that he is no politician himself, he fur
nished a mighty good reason for being given a
place in Warren G. Harding's cabinet. Another
Simon Cameron or Edwin M, Stanton might help
quite a little on the way "back to normalcy.''
J Protect Groups from Libel.
' A bill is pending in the state legislature
aims to define, prohibit 'and punish any
"malicious defamation, expressed by printing, or
signs orpictures, lending to impeach the hon
est', integrity, virtue, reputation, character or
patriotism of the people of any nationality,
race, religious denomination or sect, thereby ex
. nnsinf them to oublic hatred, contemnt. ridicule.
prejudice or disfavor." t
,The Bee can sec no good reason why such a bill
should not pass.' No one is particularly anxtotiS
to tdd to the legal restrictions placed upon hi
business. A newspaper is in the same position
-.s any other industry in that regard. The fact
is, however, that individuals now have protec-
' (mm Tf ? riorUf anil nrAt, that tliv
should. There is no reason why the same pro
tection should not extend to the groups named
by Senate r ue Hi, provided, oi course, it be
restricted to safeguarding them from malicious
publication of untruths. ' ?
Wood for the Philippines.
Among the interesting, bits of pre-inaugura-tion
gossip that , floats out, -from Washington 'is
an item to the effect that Gen. Leonard A; Wood
is to succeed Francis Burton Harrison as gov
ernor general of the Philippines: Such a change
would certainly be beneficial. One of Mr. Har
rison's latest exploits was at a dinner in Manila,
where he said it would be a proud day when Old
Glory came down for the last time in the archi
pelago. A Tammany congressman, trained in the po
litical schools of the metropolis, Mr. Harrison
naturally sympathizes with the Filipino politi
cians who are reaching out for the reins-of power
iiv the islands. ,Thess ambitious statesmen have
droams that are not yet to be realized, but that
does not prcvet them from publishing their
propaganda on this side, deluding many into the
belief that the islanders have advanced ' suf
ficiently to be entrusted with management of
their own affairs.' Well posted Americans know
I the truth;, and understand-that -Uncle Sam has
a big' job yet before him oyer there. A man like
General Wood will serve just, now. to remind1
the schemers who are looking io their own in
teresta rather than", the' good of all-that the
United' Stat'ts' docs ;not propose to abandon, its
big undertaking until the work has been well
done; : .- .
Independence was promised the Filipinos
when we .went in there,, but not until they are
capable' of taking a place in the world, when
they can govern themselves, and when the plair.
people of the islands will be nude secure from
the exploitation of the comparatively small group
of politicians who, would profit most directly
from power to rule, and who would suffer least
were the natives to slip back to the condition
in which we found them. We hive done a good
work in the Philippines, and should not abandon
it uncomplete. Leonard Wood could do a lot
towards reviving confidence in America over
there. ' -.
Hog Island Navy Yard.
Finally the United States is in 'full possession'
and, undisputed owner of the Hog Island navy
yard. This is oie accomplishment of the war
that may yet be' of immense benefit to the
world. It was called into existence at a time
of great stress, and grew under terrific pressure
from a swamp to be the greatest ship building
plant in the wcirld,"! Itwas not required to ac
complish its fulf destiny, for the war ended just
at (the time . when ships be'gan to slide down
the ways in "quantity production" at Hog Is
land. The total investment is less than has been
represented, only $66,000,000 being expended on
the construction of the yard, with ad its"btii!d--

The Art of Living.
A lecturer in Omaha has spoken of the life
of Christ, as that of an artist, meaning, no doubt,
that it . was artistic. The personal actions of
rtists frequently fall short of the well-ordered
harmony of their productions, and artistic livl
ing is much more rare than artistic creation.
The perfect balance of thought and conduct
is scarcely possible in a human world. -It can
neither be said that such complete harmony of
life is more or less possibje today than for
merly. The world has advanced far in the last
few centuries, but mainly in the direction of
comfort. The old . faults jt selfishness, envy,
and all the other unlovely characteristics that
are grouped under the heading of "human na
ture" still remain. v

was stolen. ,
AS we quoted rom memory, we did not do

Of the Seven Seas (which is unlikely), or tjie clas

she K not an artist.
There seema. to be a fairly prevalent belief
that violinists' recital programmes suffer through
the poverty of literature for that Instrument
But is the literature so poor?
There exists a wealth ofi sonatas in the
classic, romance and modern periods. Why are
these works, the roost beautiful examples of
violin literature, so conspicuous by their absence
on recital programmes? is it -that the public
does not wish to listen to them, or the violinist
does not wish to play them? How. can the pub
lic, the general public, know them? And not
knowing1 them, howcan we expect the public to
want to hear them? .
, H does not stop to consider that "the great
est artist is he who is at his best in the interpre
tation of great works;" that sharing: the public
attention with his partner, also incidentally with
the composer, he is in reality commanding- a far
greater respect and position in his calling than
he ever could do as a mere fiddler. .

MAKES PARKS OF ASH
HEAPS.
I have Just read the report of
the Cleveland hospital and health
survey and I was upset " by. the
volume of things, conditions, pro1
cedures, and methods which they
found occasion to criticize adversely.
Of course, all progress comes as a
result of reasonable discontent and
it follows that a self-satisfied com
munity ossifies and rather retro
grades. A discontent to be reasonable is
on that is justified by the facts
which stimulate a desire for im
provement and which bring forth
effort to remove as much of the
cause -of the discontent as can be
removed with due regard for all the
circumstances. Not all the methods
and conditions adversely criticized
can be remedied with a reasonable
regard for all the circumstances.
If they could be Cleveland would
not only be in advance but far in
advance of all other American
cities. .
On the other hand, not all the
adverse recommendations of the re
port .will create discontent. The
reaction -of community sentiment
will strike a balance between the
recommendations and overconserva-
tivo sentiment The result pf this
will be a somewhat gradual but a
steady and sure improvement in the
methods which Cleveland employs.
The report found much to rec
ommend in the Cleveland situation.
It fouijd a fine community spirit. No
city has gone further in organizing
for community action. The report
advises that, rfie many separate
private agencies now doing" health
work Weld themselves into" a Cleve
land Health association. The ad
vice is good and should be followed
by the private health agencies- of
every state and city.
The climate of Cleveland is pro
nounced excellent for health, but
much of the advantage is offset by
smoke and fumes.
Cleveland's low typhoid rate may
be-attributcdj to the' purity of the
water. '
, The rubbish and ashes have been
used in building 100' acres of land
on the lake front. Cleveland'svise
use of rubbish and ashes to build
public parks and playgrounds might
well be followed by other cities.
"No uninspected meat is sold in
the city and the milk is carefully
tested." ;
Patent medicines also are an
alyzed lby the laborartoty bureau and
many have been excluded from
Cleveland, thanks to 'the co-operation
of the druggists.
The school buildings arc in good
sanitary condition. However, they
adversely criticized the ventilation of
these buildings.
Cleveland is . adequately equipped
with legislation for the prevention
of the spread of the great white
plague. The care given in the seven
Ihealth renters is worthy of high
commendation. ,
Fully twice this amount of space
could be filled with extracts from'
commendatory findings contained in
the report. ' I
OX
s Suggestions for Readjustment.
Oinaha, Feb. I.r-To the Editor of
The lire: I rend of a good deal of
-complaints of the farmers and 1
think Justly so, from their stand
point, of prices of all farm products
.and retail prices of what they have
to buy, as it must be conceded the
farmer cannot live wholly by what
ho produces on the farm, He must
be reckoned as a consumer as well
as a p-oducer.' When he goes to
buy V .-;'it of clothes or a .pair of
shoos i. muslin or any kind of dry
goods, is it any wonder he says
things that would not sound goodin
a Sunday school? Especially when
he sees the millions of pounds of
wool stored up in the warehouses
of the country and no buyers, no, not
one. Then he reads of the cotton
gins in the south and their contents
being burned to boost or hold the
price of cotton., Then he reads of
the woolen and cotton mills in the
east running on part time or wholly
shut clown; the Cellars of the pack
ing houses bulging out with raw
hides and no sales or no bids, and
shoes as high as $15 to $20 the pair.
That reminds me of the cartoon
two litigants and a cow. One had
hold of her horns, the other lier tail,
pulling in opposite directions, the
lawyer sitting on a stool milking the
cow. The lawyer, of course, had a
smile. In the case of coal the whole
sale coal men have got .tho horns,
the consumer is content with the
tail end and the retailer with a smile
is milking the cow. Then or
preacher asks us to be sweet.
Then there is the botchers' and
grocers' association. It seems to me
if there was a wedge driven in be
tween the consumer and this organ
ization the consumers would see
something more than smoke. It was
stated some time ago the tobacco
growers were offered & cents the
pound for their crop. This offer,
however, was refused. Still we have
to pay from 5 to 13 cents for
cigar, which, when tested, proves too
often to be only a stinker in dis
guise. One half of the pipe tobacco
would be better fitted for a gas bomb
than what we old smokers call a
good smoke after supper.
To my 'mind, "trusts or organiza
Hons which is the same are re
sponsible either directly or indirectly
for much of our complaint and ills
of today. Real estate men through
their organizations are trying to

and condense into fluid on the sides .
of the manifolds, run down into the
cylinders, pass the piston rings and ,
t dilute or wash away the lubricating
' oil on the cylinder walls. : ,

quality of the L. V. Nicholas Oil Com
pany gasolenes, vaporizes rapidly
