DO the prospective rdTHtci AANs know what a we'll balanced ration is for stock to keep them healthy and free from collie. Now is not this an accomplishment which would make more practical and valuable pros pective wife? But we humans go on making garbage cans of our own stom- achs, while we fit health foods to the stomachs of cur domestic creatures. When God wrote the laws of our being on our hearts, do you think he fore. saw we were such fools that we would observe them for kline and violate them ourselves. we make a law of modera- ton for the brute, and then gorge our stomachs with food enough to paralyze a goat The stomach Is the most abused organ of our bodies; and when it is disordered there is no order In our physical system-we are indeed SICK 1t is woe for us and meat for the doc tors. The human race Is just suner- ing for a well l-balanced ration which will keep it healthy and free rom collie.

TIE MAN WHO TALKS

We are thinking about Christmas now, and the Christmas spirit. wnicn really should be a Christlike spirit--a spirit of helpfulness. If we look our habits of giving over, you will recos- nize how much we do for self, and now little for Goods sake. I am afraid we remember our friends more than we do those in real and crying need. The true Christ-Iilze spirit does not caicu- late an output and receipts-tnat IS the mercantile spirit. It remembers Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the Kingdom Of God; and that unqualified command, "Feed My lambsi" The Christmas tree IS not a real Christmas tree which is decorated with four dollar presents for our cnil- dren and four cent presents to the children of the needy-the children ot hope. In our concelt and selfishness we stray far from the true way even when we think that we are righteous and God is Illuminating the way for us-we should always be more con cerned that the way be illuminated TOT our neighbors. The practicing exam- ple of Righteousness does not have to preach, for he is doing things-he is light and leader to the benighted.

Is There a String to 1T

While the Water board organs and
~organettes are shrieklng themselves
hoarse over the great conspiracies
which they are conjuring up in their
own imaginations, the people of Omaha
for some reason or other refuse to be-
come excited. 1t seems to be very
much like the old story of the boy who
cried wolf" so many times when
there wal no wolf that when the wolf
really came he got no attention. These
water spouters have been using the
water works as the boyle man so con-
tinuously to divert attention from
their own deep-laid schemes that the
general public has become more or
less skeptical and refuses to catch the
hysteria.
A few weeks age the Water board,
by resolution, directed its attorneys to
draw up a proposition for submission
to the voters at the coming city cleo
ton to authorize a bond issue OF
$500, 900 to buy the water works at
the valuation fixed by the appraisers.
previously denounced by them as out
rageously exorbitant. This action was
accompanied by an explanation that
the purpose of submitting the bond
proposition was to ascertain whether
the people wanted to go on with the
purchase proceedings. The whole
ove struck most folks as a gigantic
blnff IN the part OF the Water board
designed to allay the rising tide of
popular discomfort by postponing the
issue and perpetuating the Water
board salaries and lawyers graft.
Voting bonds up or down would be
necessarily a jug-handled proposition,
leaving no alternative to the people to
say whether they preferred the COM
promise settlement.
In the meantime the Water board
has done nothing but adopt a resolu-
ton without submitting its bond prop
osition. If we are to vote on a pro-
posed $6,600,00o bond issue at the
coming election, why should not the
proposition have been formulated by
this time instead OF being held back
and the people permitted to know ex-
actly what they are to be asked to
vote on? The delay In following up
the resolution confirms the suspicion
that it has a string to it that nay be
pulled as soon as the legislature is adj
tourned and the possibility of legisla-
ton to simplify the water works situa-
ton is removed.

The New Census Bill.

While the tariff will be the chief
session of congress, action will be re-
quested upon the bill for taking the
1910 census, IL being important that
the measure be passed in order to
give the census officials the necessary
time to make provisions for the big
work of next year.
The bill, as drawn for presentation
at the special session, is said to carry
a complete vindication of Mr.. Roose-
welt, who vetoed the bill passed by the
last congress because IL provided for
the appointment of the clerks and
enumerators according to the spoils
system, instead of by competitive cx-
aminations under the direction of the
Civil Service commission. Mr.. Roose-
welt served notice when the bill was
introduced that he would veto it if
passed with the Objectionable features
which he pointed out. Both houses of
congress, however, insisted upon the
original bill, with the appointment of
the thousands of clerks and enumer-
ators apportioned among members of
congress without reference to party
afRliation. President Roosevelt vetoed
the measure and no further effort was
made TO pass it by the Sixtieth con-
gress.
The new bill calls for the appoint
ment of clerks and others after a spe-
cial competitive examination, allowing
the director of the census to make GER
tain selections, to meet emergencies,
without strict compliance with rules
providing for the acceptance of eligi-
bles according to their rating in the
examinations. Apparently there is no
objection to the measure in it's present
form and the public will add one more
mark to the credit of Mr.. Roosevelt
for checking a brazen attempt on the
part of congress to resurrect the old
spells game.
