OMAHA, Nov. 1S.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: In your editorial, send in
Your Nominations" you hit the nail
squarely on the head by stating that
'the men who are pushing themselves
are not necessarily the best qualified nor
the most deserving"
When Omaha, at the special election
held a short time ago. voted ON the new
commission form of government, it was
with the sole intention OF discarding the
old form Of government and RELOCATING
to the scrap pile all the old politicians
who held sway in the city hall for the
last four years, who have entrenched
themselves with such a formidable ma
chine as to make their tenure of office
indefinite. The people of Omaha got
mighty tired of the ring of professional
politicians who are running the city at
fairs, and, in order to get rid of them.
took the very foundation of the political
structure out from under their feet and
left them dangling in the air by destroy
ing the old form of municipal govern
ment. And, in order to start a new deal
with a brand new deck of cards, the new
commission form of government was
overwhelmingly adopted.
II Is whispered, and quito loud, that
the entire city hall ooterie, from the
mayor down TO the Janitors, are going
TO file for commissioners, that every de-
feated candidate in the last county cleo
ton Is going to take another chance
IN the spring for commissioner that a
lot OF mon who got hard knocks in life,
whose ambitions and hopes were blasted
| f. ON one cause or another, are longing
for a soft berth TO rest their weary
bones, I'm the office of commissioner.
But the people by that special election,
when they so Overwhelmingly adopted
the commission form, gave fair notice
and due warning that there will be no
place for the professional politician, po-
litical hummer, chronic officeseeker, the
disappointed and discarded aspirant for
political pie. Only new men, good men,
honest men. business men, successful
men, will be acceptable. The old regime
is at an end. The players OF the old
game who have proven themselves bank
rupt In every way, have played their
last game, and now they must stand
aside and give the people a chance,
FIRST.

A Flat.FoOt Scare.

The nat-foot scare has been re-
vived In this country because Sir AL
fred Mosley, the British educator,
declares that few English boys have
fiat feet. One of the school authori-
ties in New York City finds that the
same cannot be said OF the boys OF
that place, and II Is believed the girls
are likewise defective. This oficial
estimates that one-third of the boys
in the New York schools have nat
feet, that is, do not have well-arched
lnsteps.
The scare is thus spreading and
boys and girls In most cities may
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-11-20

soon be examined to see how well
shaped their feet are. But It is moth
ing new, this agitation about fat
feet. II has been revived periodic
ally for a good many years. What,
one may ask, is the serious effect Of
fat feet? Scientists say It Injuries
the spine by throwing the body out
of correct form or position and thus
weakens the entire physique. This
seems plausible, and yet the negro
race, which has always been charac-
terized by unpronounced insteps, is
not known to suffer extensively from
crooked or weakened spines
But even as a matter of symmetry
and attractlveness, one might well
wish to have a neatly arched foot.
The British say they get II by much
walking, both men and women.
Americans walk too little. as a peo-
pie, and II greater exercise OF this
kind will improve the foot, that is
only one of the good results It Will
produce. We ought to walk more
for health's sake Proper walking
and even the simple exercise of rails
ing and lowering ones body each
morning or night on arising or before
retiring is said to be a very helpful
aid to the instep. 1t will at least do
to try. Notice the toe-dancer-she
never has a fiat foot We may not
all need to become skilled or trained
toe-dancers, but by employing some
OF their rudlmentary exercises we
may derive much benefit.

IL Tenant Farming DecreasinEf
OMAHA, Nov. 16.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: out Of curiosity / have made a
computation of the changes which have
taken place in ownership OF farms against
which I have negotiated mortgages. 1
went back three years. and in over 600
farms thirty-three changes of ownership
have only taken place. The changes
we're as follows:
Eighteen farms which were occupied
by tenants when loans were made are
now occupied by the owners.
Six farms which were occupied by own
ers are occupied by new owners.
Five remain tenant farms.
Two changed from ownership to tenants.
Two, incomplete information as to oc-
cupancy.
Thlrty-three changes.
thought this information might be OF
interest to you, as It shows quite a
healthy state OF affairs and a tendency
that lands are being occupied more and
more by the owners, which is a natural
result from the higher price of land

and the chances favor Governor Foss
