terms Now a Spreading Fad.
The present may well be termed a
Russian season. The madness for
everything Russian is spreading rap
idly. and there is no telling where 1t
is going to end. 1t is now accepted
as the leading note in every part Of
fashion.
First came the much heralded and
really least important turban called
military" 1t soon became apparent
that the turban was to take on as
many kinks and curis as the inventive
milliner could devise. and with each
new kink came new name. We have
already had Turkish. uhlan. Moscow.
coSsack. cZarina. hussar. drum major
and oriental. or these the uhlan and
the oriental are possibly the preferred
ones. Some of the furs OF which this
varied headgear is made are OF the
ultra fashionable and exclusive ring
tail. Ermine and sealskin are also
favoriteS, and Australian opossum and
moleskin are much used.
The drum major turban is trimmed
with a circlet of antique gold and
bronze set with jewels. At last the
influence of the Audubonists has be-
gun to show in millinery. Many OF
the breasts and feathers of every de-
scription offered this season are man
made affairs. Sometimes thick quill
is used. with the long. coarse fur of
the monkey set in on either side.
Bronze lace is used widely for trim
ming.
Many of these turbanS fashioned
from panne velvet draped in oriental
fashion are trimmed with single
flower Of heroic size. pansy or sin
gle rose of startling proportions. The
cossack turban is favOrite with wO-
men who wish to carry out the Rus
sian scheme by having their tailor
made suits consist of skirt and long
Russian blouse instead OF a coat.
This latter garment promises to have
great vogue as the season advances.
1t looks especially attractive in the
rough. almost shaggy, fabrics that the
shops offer in place of the once domi-
nant broadcloth. These new goods
have a zibeline finish which is strong
ly suggestive of the frigid Russian
winter This blouse answers to the
demand for extra length in all top gar
ments 1t fastens at the left side from
shoulder to hem with fat buttons and
is belted in with a band of soft patent
leather. although a belt of velvet or
ribbed silk is sometimes preferred.
This belt is loose and drops a bit be-
low the waist line back and front.

DELUGE OF NoAH's TIME.
Enormous Damage Done by the Flood,

Enormous Damage Done by the Flood,
Says Scientist.
Professor Herbert William Magoun
Of Redfield college is studying Noah's
food as one Of the greatest events of
reliable history. In his latest chapter
on it. just published. he says that it
changed the whole earth. creating
enormous seas where dry land was be-
fore and sinking large parts of the
land. He tries to judge it by evidence
that he can still End of damage done.
On this record he writes that the
food could not have been a myth. He
does not undertake TO say how much
Of Asia was covered by 1t or whether
all the land on earth was covered. He
hardly thinks SO. He has no doubt
that the change of which it was part
was felt throughout the whole earth.
States and northern Europe with the
cracking of the earth's crust as great
areas of land sank to lower levels. He
thinks the earth's crust gave way up
ward or downward toward the close Of
what is called the great ice age in this
country and Europe. The destruction
of life was enormous. Wherever men
then lived those who escaped saw the
world changed as it has never been
changed since
The history Of a food of this kind
late in the history of the earth is so
plainly shown in many ways that those
who study the earth are fairly well
agreed about it's main points. Some Of
them might not agree with Professor
Magoun that it was Noah's food, but
they might acknowledge that he has a
right to call it so. The proof he relies
on began with work done not quite a
hundred years ago by Scotch stone
mason. famous now as Hugh Miller.
who first showed how clearly the rocks
may be read. Many learned men then
had ceased to believe in deluge. Now
many of them believe in several.

The Rookefsller Foundation.

When the bill calling for the incor-
poration of the Rockefeller Founda-
ton" was introduced in congress con-
siderable comment was called down
both of praise and censure. There is
scarcely a community, the country
over, which has not raised a voice in
protest against this STANDARD Oil
method in business. Rockefeller
has been denounced by almost every
bad name and his ways reviled. 1t
makes no difference what he does, says
or dreams, he is censured and black
guarded from one end Of the country
to the other. and the consensus of
public opinion is that he deserves it.
But granting that the fortune he
has amassed, whether wrongfully or
not, is his under the law Of the land,
why should he not be encouraged to
devote 1t to charitable purposes. He
has given away a colossal sum al
ready, and although nearly every gift
aroused a tumult of dispute, yet Mr..
Rockefeller can find plenty of charita-
BILE and educational institutions still
willing to be the recipients of his ben
efactions.
If this fortune we're to be squan-
dered simply to satisfy Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's personal wants ana whims, pro-
test would be much more justified
than If it is to be disposed of in a way
to make it a self-perpetuating source
of benefit. The good that may be
done may be made permanent, while
the life Of Mr.. Rockefeller must be
transitory after all. So the general
public may as we'll accept the beneht,
make the most of 1t and see that as
much of the fortune as possible really
goes to charity, education and human
itarian objects.

Chioago,s Vice Commission.

Mayor Busse of Chicago has Just
named a commission Of thirty promi-
nent men and women, distinguished
in different business fields and profess
sions, to report upon vice conditions
in that city. In his public statement
constituting the commission the
mayor declares that there is nothing
to be gained by shutting Eyes to the
fact that vice exists in it's various
forms in Chicago as in every large
city, n that Chicago is no better
and no worse than other places of
its size. The commission is expected
to suggest practical measures of con
troll n repression that may enable
the city to adopt and pursue a com
mon sense policy in connection with
this social evil.
Mayor Busse is correct in saying
that Chicago is not alone troubled
with the vice question. Every city Of
any consequence finds a condition con-
fronting it which cannot be met by
mere theory. Here in Omaha, as else
where, the subject is a favorite one
for demagogues who want ~notoriety,
and misguided uplifters ignorant of the
past and with no adequate apprecia-
ton Of the present. Our mayor might
appoint a vice commission for Omaha
to wrestle with the question and find
out whether anything should be done
differently from what has been done,
but perhaps 1t is just as we'll to let
the Chicago commission work it out
lrst and take advantage of its recon-
mendations, when made, as may seem
applicable here.

Thomas @. Plat.

In the death Of Thomas Collier Plat
Of New York another Of the unique
figures in the political history of our
country has passed away. Besides be-
ing a nan of exceptional versatility
and power he accomplished much in
politics and In national affairs directly
and indirectly. He had been in the pub
lie eye for many years because of his
prominence in state affairs in New
York and also because of his early in
fluence In the republican party as one
of its leading spirits.
Mr.. Plat was in the United States
senate at the time or the trouble be-
tween President Garfield and the con
gressional delegation from New York
and with Roscoe Conkling became the
first to have the unique distinction of
~resigning from the United States
senate after the civil war. He was
universally trusted by the politicians
Of his state because of his mental
grasp Of political affairs, and in his
time he was the leader of political
leaders.
Senator Plat will go down in his
tory chiefly for being the u~nintentional
fundamentally by which Theodore
Roosevelt was elevated to the presi.
denoy. 1t was Senator Plat who
forced the nomination of Roosevelt az
vice president on the ticket with VIII.
liam Mckinley in 1900. While at.
tempting to end the political prospects
of the then governor Of New York by
shunting him to "the office Of the
dead" he unwittingly placed him In q
position to give to the nation service
Of unreasonable value. And 1t is the
irony Of Mr.. Platt's fate that this last
and greatest service to the nation
should have been the very thing which
he most desired to prevent.

A Bureau of Public Health.

The efforts to make some provision
for federal protection of public health
have resulted in a lively discussion in
Washington of the d~esirabiIity of a
department or bureau having this par
ticular work as its function. The
senate committee to which the propo-
sition has been referred favors a
bureau subordinate to one of the
existing departments, while the minor
ity, headed by Senator owen Of Okla
homa, is pushing for a department
with a chief in the presidents cabinet.
Both sides, however, are agreed upon
the sdvisability of some federal activ-
ity for the public health with special
reference to effectually checking yell
low fever and bubonic plague.
Conservation of the public health
as a whole is a most important matter,
but there is question whether present
provision in such matters is so flag
rantly inadequate as TO demand a eabi-
net department. The states already
have boards Of health and the govern
ment has It's military and naval medi-
cal corps, the function Of these being
to oversee the public health in the
territory within range OF their author
ity, respectively. The government has
already accomplished much by way Of
example in the enforcement Of quar-
antine regulations as we'll as maintain
Ing sanitary and hygienic conditions in
the canal gone and other territory oc-
cupied by those engaged in govern
ment enterprise. Individual states are
perhaps less effective in the work Of
looking after local health affairs. In
terstate quarantine regulations, to the
extent OF closing traffic to and from
states infected by a malignant plague,
until such time as that state can con
troll the situation. might stimulate
state boards to activity and accom-
plish the desired improvement.

Helping the Indian.

The announcement that the bureau
of Indian affairs is preparing to teach
the mobile red man" to farm has re-
vived the old subject Of the "abuse of
the Indian" The experiment in agri-
cultural education may yet be a sue
cess, but not without reversing previ-
Gus experience in helping the Indian
to help himself. Many mistakes have
hitherto been made trying to "ciyilize
the Indian" and many of them are due
to the poor ability of those selected
for the task, yet the irresponsive atti-
tude of the red man has to a very
great extent invited failure,
1t is useless for those who get their
idea Of the Indian from the writings
of Cooper and Longfellow to say that
our federal government does not treat
him with proper consideration. AL
though former -mistreaLment cannot be
denied, yet the government has not en-
tirely neglected its wards. Since the
establishment of u republic the De-
partment OF lndlan Anairs has spent
over $500, 900, 900 in behalf of the red
IA 1t is now spending $S,OOO,O 900
annually for his support, including the
maintenance of the Indian schools.
This does not take into account the
forty-nine Indian schools supported by
religious and private organizations.
When 1t is remembered that there are
but 100000 Indians in the United
States these figures carry more signif-
cance. Yet in spite Of all this the In
dian is slow to take advantage Of his
opportunities. However, IL is to be
hoped that the present efforts to make
him stand alone will bear fruit and
that the practical assistance now
tardily given him may result in deyel-
oping his ability and preserving the
remnant of the race.

PERSONAL NOTES.

Attorney General Wiokersham will be the
chief speaker at the Appomattox day
dinner OF the Hamilton club In Chicago
next month.
Senator Gordon's farewell speech did not
break the Congressional Record, but made
such a demand for It that an extra edition
has become necessary.
John w. Gates, whose financial specula-
lions have made him a national character,
is mentioned as a possible candidate for
governor Of Texas on the republican ticket.
Patrick Peterson OF Buxton. Ia, bored a
hole In a new Lincoln penny, and was so
sorry about 1t after he realized that he had
mutilated a coin of the realm that he
wrote an apology to President Taft.
Collins Graves, hero of the Mil river
flood disaster, famed in prose and verse for
his race with the torrent az his heels from
Williamsburg through Skinnerville to
Haydenville, warning the people along the
way Of the danger, died in his home at
Williamsburg, Mass, at the age Of 20
years,
Last year the tobacco business Of this
country amounted to $150, 600, 600. That is
nearly $40 to a family. A saving of 8 cents
q day in each household would remove
these appalling statistics. Terrible, be
cause when thus analysed they reveal the
character OF many Of the cigars that Of
fend the air.
Colonel John Dietrich, a friend Of Abra-
ham Lincoln, stephen A. Douglas and GEN
eral Grant, died in his home in Plainfield,
N, j. of general debility, aged SO years.
He possessed many tokens given him by
the three great Americans. He made a for
tune in California in 1919 and was present
with Grant at the surrender Of Vcksburg.
Ninety-two men indicted for capital

COSTLY
Why Appropriations Climb Higher
and Higher. .-s a.w

Washington Post.
Senator Aldrich spake the words of truth
and soberness when he said the federal
government costs $500 900, 900 more than it
would cost IL run by a business man on
business principles, with a view to eff
cheney, economy and honesty, There is not
q doubt of It, Ours is the c~ostliest govern
ment in the world. We pay for It more than
a,OO0,0 900, 900 per annum. and that is not all.
In this gigantic computation no account Is
taken Of the forty-six state governments,
the hundreds Of county governments and
the thousands Of municipal governments
the American people have to support.
The poet Pope thought that the best gov
eminent which was best administered
Thomas Jefferson said the best govern
ment was that which governed least.
Another school has 1t that the best govern
ment is that which costs least.
Robert Toombs served eight years in the
United States house of representatives and
eight years in the United States senate. He
was a man of giant intellect and tremen-
dOus force of character, and 1t was his
boast that during that entire sixteen years
he got not a cent out of the federal treas
ury for Georgia. How long would a states
man as that hold a job In our day, in
Georgia, or out of Georgia?
If the people want a frugal government.
let them raise a crop Of men like Toombs
and send them to the two houses Of con-
gress. But the people do not want, and will
not have, a frugal government. They seek
senators who will get things for their
states, and representatives who will get
things for their districts, They prefer a
statesman who can secure a pension for an
old soldier to one who can make an argu-
ment like Webster or Toombs.
Instead Of retrenching, before this cen
fury concludes it's second decade, the fed
eral establishment will cost $1,000, OO0,00 0
annually, even If we shall be 80 happy as
to escape a big foreign war. As the poet
OF the Kentucky "Pennyrile" sang:
Roll on, roll on, thou slIvery moon;
Thou carest not a - for expenses!

False Labels in Politics.

when shall pure food principles be
applied to politiCs7" asks the Lincoln
Journal, baslng its inquiry on a letter
questioning the ingredients OF the
Merchants g Manufacturers associa-
ton OF Omaha, which is engaged in a
campaign of publicity to counteract
the agitation Of the A~nti-saloor
league. Although the names of the
officers are printed on the letterhead,
the label Of the Merchants & Manu-
f~acturers' association Of Omaha does
not seem to give the Journal sufficient
information as to who's who and
what's what in the organization.
When we come to talk about false
labels in politics, however, we have
several more fragrant examples to
point to without going very far from
home. Last fall in promotion of the
campaign for the election Of so-called
~nonpartisan judges, agents Of the
democratic state committee put out
m~isbranded literature over the forged
name Of Progressive Republican
League" chiefly devoted to personal
attacks on the republican state chair
man and the republican national com.
mltteeman. The democratic state
chairman lied like a gentleman when
he disclaimed responsibility and as
serted that he knew nothing about the
fraud. But the dissemination of the
falsely labeled documents was pro-
cured through local democratic com
mitteemen and paid for with money
left over from the Bryan volunteers
the Q a before and turned over to
the democratic state committee.
Another rank case Of false label is
that In which democratic nominees
masquerade as populists in order to
get pOpulist votes by false pretenses.
This indefensible fraud has been, and
is still, practiced by democratic Of
flee seekers who in every other walk
Of life would be scrupulously careful
not to commit theft. The stealing of
the populist label gave Nebraska's
electoral vote in Bryan in 1908 and
put a democratic governor in the
chair.
To the Lincoln Journal we present
our compliments. We are for a law
that will do away with false labels
in p%oIitics
