OMAHA, March ITO the Editor of
The Bee: The bill providing for a mu-
nlcipal court for Omaha and South
Omaha, will no doubt soon become a law.
AS this is to be a court of much i'm
portance to the lawyers and litigants Of
Omaha, the Judges to be appointed to
preside over them should be men Of
known honesty and ability. AS the main
purposes Of the bill arc OF two-fold ma
ture, one to relieve the congested condi-
ton of the county court, the other to
relieve a long suffering public from the
injustices suffered at the hands of in
competent justices of the peace, grasp
ing for fees, and their co-partnership
with collection agencies and whose rul-
ings and decisions are but a travesty on
justice. To this rule we have few ex-
ceptons one In particular, that most

his name is c. w. Britt. During the
three years he has filled this position
he has earned, and is given credit for
bieng one of the most capable, honest
and impartial men that ever discharged
the duties of that office in Douglas
county. In his appointment the governor
would not only reflect credit upon him
self, but upon the bar OF Douglas county.

OMAHA. March 6-To the Editor Of
The Bee: All patriotic Americans hope
and pray that the European war may
soon be ended and that our nation may
not be Drawn into the conflict through
the violation Of neutrality nor the reck-
less disregard OF our rights under inter
national law and custom.
II appears that tho main cause Of the
war was the struggle for commercial SUI
premacy When such a motive Is not
based upon fair competition and merit, IL
Is selfish and sure TO result In trouble.
The fair and just rule Of live and let
live" is not the guiding principle in the
foreign or domestic commercial relations
OF the world Although recognized as the
right and desirable rule OF conduct, IT is
ruthlessly brushed aside in the mad rush
for wealth and power.
II was not intended that one man. nor
combination of men, nor nation. nor
group OF nations, should control or be
master of the channels of commerce, and
permanent peace-the hope and wish of
all Just men-will not be realized and
assured until the sea shall be free for all
time
The appalling spectacle of Christian ma
tons at one anothers threats is dis
couraging 10 the peace advocates, to say
the least, and it causes one 70 suspicion
that modern civilization is only veneer
covering all the essence of the barbaric
ages The struggle is intensified by the
low and base passions Of jealousy. re-
venge and aggression.
II is a noble act TO defend your home
and native land, and battle for the free
dom of the oppressed. This patriotic i'm
pulse has rallied to all the standards of
the various armies the men that bear the
brunt OF all wars, the common people
and the blame for the crime of the
Twentieth century, IL placed at ALL should
rest on the heads of the rulers and Off
Gals in whose care reposed the peace and
prosperity of their subjects.
The cost of the folly must be paid, in
q large measure, by future generations.
There is one ray of hope, however, shin
ing through the cloud of despair that
the masses of all the nations may
eventually be freed and given an oppor-
tunity for a broader and happier life
through universal peace and brotherhood.
This, the greatest OF all wars, may hasten
the realization of that Utopia.

OMAHA. March Ito the Editor of
The Bee: A local newspaper is making
a lot of noise over the fact that the ad-
dressograph OF the Commercial club was
permitted to be used by the electric light
company FOR sending out its arguments
in opposition to the bill in the legislature.
II seems to me that this is tempest
in teapot. Everybody knows that the
manager OF the water works has been
using the official addressograph of the
Water board. and a portion OF the time
OF a number of clerks on the public pay
roll, for sending out campaign literature
boosting the work of the Water board
and advocating municipal ownership for
purely political purposes
In view OF the foregoing, It seems to
me that the manager of the Water board
Is the last man in town free to make a
rumpus over the action OF the Commercial
club management in this case.

CHARITY MAktS EDWARDS.

CHARITY MAKES EDWARDS.
'"Charity makes for slaves, towards
and sycophants," said Mother Jones"
of Colorado mine field fame, recently.
Her words are true.
Men cheat their employees out of
what is their just due and become rich
and when they have accumulated mil
lions they pose as "philanthropists"
and endeavor to perpetuate their
names by giving money for libraries
or "charities," or Christian CD asso-
Citations. ..-
Instead of being great philanthopists,
these men, in many cases, are simply
thieves who really ought to be in
prison for having robbed their fellow
men. ....r
No class has suffered more from the
"philanthropies" of these rich thieves
than the colored people and their ne
farious work has been aided by so
called colored leaders who have taken
the role of public mendicants and have
begged for money to organize jimcrow
institutions and thus prevent their own
class from securing their rights as
American citizens.
The product Of the segregated insti-
tuition is usually a crop Of young col
ored people with slavish instincts;
cringing towards, servile sycophants.
Great God deliver the people from
such charity and give them justice
