TESTS OF LIFE.

While 1t takes the severest tests Of the
elements to produce the old oak, king OF
the forest Il also requires a continuation
of vigorous winds and storms TO maintain
its monarchy. Strong characters are kept
strong very often only by the severest
trials and tests Of life.-The Bee.
The severest tests OF the elements
Produce the old oak tree
King-with a forests reverence,
Enwrapped in majesty.
Nor yet supreme. for needs must he
Maintain his monarchy.
So let the storms rage wild ana free,
And winds blow wrathfully.
Strong characters in life evolve
Through constant stress and pain,
And only by perpetual strife
May they that height sustain

What the Chiropractors Ask.


OMAHA. Jan 1S-To the Editor of The
Bee. The medical doctors will oppose the
bin to give state recognition to the
chiropractic science Of drugless healing
Cures are effected by means of spinal ad-
justments. 1t is quite different from
osteopathy.
When the osteopaths applied to the leg
islature in 1901 for recognition the medical
doctors put many stones in the way and
demanded that the examination tests be
as rigid as those prescribed by the med
ical board. Another session of the Iegis-
lature found this to be unfair. Since 1909
the osteopaths have been admitted upon
examination by state board composed
OF osteopaths. The needles found them
selves powerless to obstruct the progress
OF the new schools Of healing, which in
other states had proved their merit.
Now the chiropractors are asking for
recognition on the same terms accorded
TO the osteopaths. and there is every rea-
SON TO believe that they will get it, The
fight made by the osteopaths as against
the needles opposition crystallized public
sentiment on the issue and now II is a
matter of common knowledge that the
people look with favor upon any scien-
tific school of healing that discards or
minimizes the use OF drugs,

SOUTH OMAHA, Jan. 1S.-To the Ed
itor OF The Bee: AS one who has served
on election boards a good many times, I
will express my views that the long
ballot is not such an evil in itself as
some think It lie. but some very needful
changes could be made.
am not a printer and do not know
much about setting type. but It seems
TO me that the spaces on the ballot could
be shortened without hurting anything
and save in length that way good deal
Then It would be we'll to have every
thing TO be voted on placed on one hallot
and not have three or four tickets, as
we had last November Then there is
an intolerable burden that is heaped on
the judges OF election by requiring two
of them TO sign their names in ink on
the back Of every ballot on paper that
is used for newspapers
Last November two OF US had to sign
our names on such paper several hun
dred times. 1t seems to me that a pro-
vision could be made by which the cleo
ton commissioner could have some dis
tinguishing mark printed on the ballots
and save the election judges a lot of very
hard work. Then It seems to me that II
would be good policy TO increase the cleo
ton boards to six members, and in case
there was a tie TO have the election in
speetor settle the tie In case OF dis
puted vote. Then at noon have three
members Of the election board go into a
room by themselves and begin to count
the ballots. and have the ballots taken
to them at the end of each hour, and
by the time the polls closed the count
would have 80 far progressed that Il
would not take the judges until the next
day TO count the ballots
Have provision that no one counting
the votes should diyulge how the vote is
progressing until after the polls close
under severe penalty.
There has not been a legislature in the
last twenty years In Nebraska that has
not made the election machinery in the
state more cumbersome than the legls-
lature before had made It. and II Is time
change was made so as to make the
work less burdehsome TO the election
boards. Have all elections. both primary
and general. last from s a. M. to p. m.
