Tally by christians to designate Pales-

ministry and death Of Christ; but also
employed by other religious sects TO de-
scribe the places sacred TO them from
association. Thus, the Mohammedaus
speak OF Mecca as the Holy Land, 1t
being the birthplace Of Mohammed. The

NEWARK, N. j., Dec u.-ro the Editor
of The Bee: We OF New Jersey have
gained the impression that the people OF
the middle west are demanding our gov
ernor for the next president and we can
not understand IL. lie has been our gov
ernor but one year and has spent so
much OF that time out of the state push
ing a candidacy OF his own that our peo-
pie have been asking themselves whether
we have a governor or not.
The writer has no candidate 10 urge,
but as a devoted democrat for many
years and pleased with the outlook for
democratic success. he wonders IL the
democrats really intend to keep fulfilling
the deserved proverb to make fools of
themselves whenever they get the chance.
Let your people make inquiries and
satisfy themselves that they are not
being led on by honeyed speech IN diree-
lions where they will find sorrow. To
be a candidate for president we want
something more than words; something In
a man besides backbiting in his own state;
something in himself besides mere theory

No Mincing Of Words with Russia.
The passage by the house by
practically unanimous vote OF the
joint resolution revoking the 1892
treaty with Russia with the declara-
tlon that Russia has violated" the
compact. Is a fairly accurate index
TO the temper OF the American people
on the subject of Russia's insolent
disregard of her obligations and our
rights, and ought to be very solemn
notice to that country to this effect.
The more automatically inclined in
the house objected TO saying that
Russian had violated" the treaty,
preferring to put It that Russia had
not construed" it as we had, but the
majority insisted on mincing no
words and stating the facts in the
plainest language.
There comes a time when comfy
cannot claim precedent over all other
considerations, and that time GER
tainly has come in the history OF this
treaty The United States has waited
nearly eighty years for Russia TO
observe the treaty; why walt any
longer? Talk of war, Of course. is
folly There is no thought or need
of that. IL would be a fine come-off
II a nation could not take steps to
respect itself, to invite the respect
and confidence of all its own citizens.
to say nothing of the outside world,
for fear OF war AS President Schur-
man OF Cornell has said, It is no
longer q question OF commanding
respect from Russia so much as It is
first of commanding respect from our
own people and keeping faith with
them. We. the United States, are on
trial. not Russia. Russia has had it's
trial and stands convicted before the
bar OF universal civilization OF de-
liberate disregard OF solemn treaty
obligations. IL is more a time for
action than arbitration. What is
there to arbitrate, when Russia for
eighty years has refused even to en-
terrain seriously the terms OF this
treaty? We. wish the friendship Of
Russia, certainly. but not at the ex-
Dense, surely, of our own honor and
self-respect.
This resolution, of course, must
have the concurrent approval of both
houses to become effective If 1t gets
that, as It evidently will, it ought to
have a very steadying influence on
Russia's : general foreign policy,
which has needed steadying for a
long time,

Censorshin FOR Theaters.


The agitation for a board of CEN
sors whose dutyyit shall be to pass
upon plays and spectacles being
presented at the Omaha theaters,
has not yet reached a point where It
may be said to be public demand.
Maybe 1t never will reach that point.
II is being put forward by body OF
young men who have devoted por-
ton, at least, OF their time TO. the
effort of advancing the general caus6
OF morality along lines that seem Cor
rect to them. This will be the great
est obstacle in the way of public
censorship: all men do not see things
from the same point of view, and one
may consider perfectly proper what
another will look upon as pernicious,
II not actually meretrioious. and each
from his own standpoint will be
right.
Demands for censorship OF the
stage have arisen many times. The
history OF the theater is a continual
repetition of the cutlery against It.
II is to the credit of the managers,
and particularly those Of Omaha,
that they have sedulously endeavored
to prevent the presentation OF any
thing that will give offense at their
houses. Omaha theaters are clean.
as will be evidenced from the fact
that thousands OF men and women.
boys and girls, attend them each
week. and the general moral tone of
the city has not suffered in any way
because of the plays there presented.
Sufficient authority is already vested
in the eity's executive officers 10 pre-
vent the exhibition of any spectacle
or play that tends to depraye. The
general cause OF public morality will
hardly be better served by placing
an extension OF this authority in
the hands Of board, unless that
board is composed OF men OF the
broadcast culture and most liberal
views. Omaha needs a great many
things more than II needs a board
OF censorship for the theater.

City of Omaha, and the Elite Theater:
Gentlemen-In our day much is attempted
In the way of proper police regulation of

press the issuance OF a recent order on
the part of the police department pro-
hibltlng further exhibitions of pictures
Of the Italian-Turlxish war, as shown in
various theaters of this city and more
particularly the Elite theater. This was
done at the solicitation of a number Of
Italians of this city. InAsmuch as the
act governs and affects many am moved
to publicly enter protest to this regula-
ton.
ITO any one who is willing to In
vestigate the matter 1t must soon become
apparent that there was never to this
date any Objectionable feature in the
war pictures as secured by Pathe Freres
In fact, IL ever there was any redeemlng
feature about the animated pictures the
Innovation of this current topic film is
decidedly proper. l fail to see on what
ground our police department granted the
delegation OF Italians the wish desired
Certainly the great mass of interested
moving picture goers was never taken
into account. believe there are many
who feel exactly as do in the premises
and II their sentiments were conveyed
It would swamp the chief Of our police
department.
Press dispatches have limited at times
at Italian atrocities in the present con-
flict contrary to civilized warfare. Is Il
fear Of possible, though improbable,
revelation of the camera that these gem
tlemen We're moved to deprive others the
right OF giving the Italian nation its
proper valuation?
AS 1t seems that there is an insistent
demand for theater censorship, why not
place such matters for decision in compe-
tent hands? We have, among others,
capable men in our journalistic field.
Why not secure such men to pass upon
the merits Of dramas? In passing it may
be stated that several of our newspapers
perform this very function II only people
would read and be guided by the better
ones.
1T would seem fitting TO have removed
this ban upon the pictures referred to-"

Diversity of Legislation.


Senator Bailey takes the unpopu-
lar side OF another piece of popular
legislation, the bill by Senator Borah
20 establish in the Department of
Commerce and Labor a ehildren's
bureau to safeguard and protect the
interests OF children who have 10
work for a living. Bailey says the
bill Is simply indefensible. when.
as a matter OF fact. such a statement
as that and his position will, I'M
doubtedly. strike most people as in
defensible.
In the course Of his attack upon
the bill. Senator Bailey makes a
point worth considering, It seems to
US, namely. the eveT-increasing diver
sity OF subjects upon which congress
is asked 20 legislaSe and the few II
refuses to leglslate upon. During the
Sixty-iirst congress 10000 bills were
introduced. II does not seem rea-
sonable to suppose that 10000 things
requiring legislation should come up
from one congress to another, as
Senator Bailey suggests, especially
in view OF the fact that only 100
bills were introduced into the first
congress, which had upon its hands
the task OF putting into operation
the greatest governmental expert
