EItirpatIon Of Bubon,c p,,ru.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: We are sure that
you Will be glad to know there is not
single case OF bubonIc plague in New
Orleans.
New Orleans has been hurt q great deol
by publicity 1t has received: several large
conventions have been cancelled ana the
city has suffered more than II should
IN view OF the heroic health ordinances
drafted and enforced at the expense OF
the people.
OF course, New Orleans does not blame
the newspapers for this undesirable pub.
icity. 1t is their business to print the
news and as long as their reports are ac-
curate and dependable they have right
to whatever news value there may have
been in the bubonic plague However, now
that the last case has disappeared we
trust that you will be kind enough TO
exploit this fact in Justice to this city.
out Of the twenty-five human cases of
plague at New Orleans only six died. OF
the six, three were very old and feeble.
and the others died before the serum
treatment was administered. From this
you will readily understand that the
plague is pretty much OF a bugaboo and
that New Orleans has been advertised in
a way that the situation did not war
rant Surgeon General Rupert Blue has
declared that there is absolutely no dan
ger to anyone who may care to visit New
Orleans, and we hope that We are not
asking too much of you to help d!ssem-
mate this news. J. T. CARTER. JR.

LEAD US AGAIN.
New York Evening sun

New York Evening sun.
Father, our hopes are bivouaCked in our
hearts
Our fears and prayers are all awning to
Thee
Stretch out Thy holy hand, we humbly
ask
And lead us with Thy clear; all solving
light
Out OF the desolate darkness OF our time,
As Thou didst in the bleak, black ages
gone.
Give us again the Sight that we may see:
Once mora set spinning all the looms Of
Peace:
Rokndle reason. faith. good will on earth.
Lord. Thy almighty arm alone can
quench
The fire that grdes all the world with
woe,
Drench Thou the pyre Of flesh and bone
Whose glare reflects the stubborn pride
of Kings
And shows the fellowship Of man at end,
The flow'r of sturdy nations wither fast.
And fruits OF melowed genius rot apace
In shell swept trench of many battle
fields;
Babes sleep unmothered in their cradle
nests
While orphaned children weep in wake
full dreams.
And women robbed OF father husband,
son,
Trudge troubled through the dust clouds
OF the pillow.
Christ did not die upon the Cross for this!

The Question Of public opinion.

The Question of Public Opinion,
OMAHA, Sept Ito the Editor Of The
Bee Permit me 10 thank you sincerely
for publishing In parallel columns the
charges Of alleged German atrocities pre-
scented by a Belgian delegation and the
testimony Of a reputable American war
correspondent from the front, indicating
that no atrocities had been committed.
At the same time, however. | wish TO
protest against Powelrs matches ca
bles from the seat Of war Does It not
strike you that they are matchless espe-
cially for English bias? why Is the aver
age headline artist on American papers
80 predisposed to bias against the Ger
man cause? Every act of the allies Is en-
bellished into heroism. their every defeat
presented as a tactical ruse. Alleged
atricities charged up to the Germans are
paraded, while the atrocities Of the Rus
slams are hidden away and commented on
as probable fakes Germans alleged
violation OF Belglums neutrality is dinned
into our ears. but no complaint Of Japan's
violation Of China's neutrality in reach
ing Kiao Chow.
Is it the Intention of the American
press to nurse in every possible way a
perfectly unnatural idea Of hostility to-
wards Germany? why must the Ameri-
can public be kept in ignorance OF real
conditions when enlightenment would fur
nish conclusive evidence that Germany
was forced into this most unfortunate
war by the increasing menace Of it's east
ern neighbor; that II had to accept the
issue just as il did or else face the be-
ginning Of the end Of its national integ-
rity. Why must the American public be
imposed upon by continuously dinning
into their ears that England is fighting
In defense Of its honor" and that Russia
Is fighting against "despotism" when IL
Is perfectly obvious that the fight il To
crush Germany because II has become n
serious competitor OF English commerce
ana industry, and because II can Justly
DO proud OF a superior civilization.
cannot conceive of anything quite as
ridiculous as the silly allegation that
Germany's ascendency threatens even the
United states, unless It should be the
bugbear Of japanese invasion.
Ordinarily there is some sentiment for
the under dog, but in the case OF Ger
many, with seven other nations jumping
on 1t at one time, that sentiment seems
to be entirely absent.
Deceiving the neutral nations seems to
be one of the important tactics used hv
the allies against Germany. Can IT be
that they count upon the superficiality Of
the average American reader and viii he
allow himself to be fooled? VIII ne for
