veterinarians, Zee. and Others.

One of the veterinarians in attendance on
the convention now held in Omaha, gives en-
phatic warning to his professional brethren that
the charging OF exorbitant fees for their services
will react. and that the loser in tho end will be
the veterinarian. His earnest presentation OF
the matter has opened question that is fun of
possibilities. particularly from ethical stand
point. Modern practice in all the so-called
learned" professions has been to make the
tariff all the traffic will bear and much OF scan
dal has arisen, especially in the medical profess
sion, over this custom and some of its allied
practices.
The picture, fortunately. has another side.
Many OF the ablest and most successful OF prac-
titoners conscientiously give attention first to
service to be rendered. with little or no atten-
ton to the fee they may obtain. Their interest
is in making their knowledge or skill OF use to
humanity, and they apparently find their great
est reward in knowing that they are doing good
for somebody who Is otherwise helpless These
men are guiding lights In the world.
No one will deny the right OF the doctor to

Suppressing Nuisances.

A debate as to what constitutes a nuisance,
and whether II Is in their province to suppress
Il. has been taking up the time OF our city COM
missioners. the particular nuisance under con-
sideration being odoriferous refuse dump.
To casual observer It would seem that whether
the use Of piece OF property for any purpose
constitutes a nuisance ought to be a question of
fact, and, once determined, there ought to be no
serious difficulty about abating it,
Yet we in Omaha apparently have more
kinds Of nuisances. and less success in Kidding
ourselves OF them, than any other city of our
size that know Of The dump and garbage
nuisance by no means complete the list, for we
have also the smoke nuisance, the vacant lot
nuisance. the uncut weed nuisance, the billboard
nuisance. the brickyard nuisance. the oil supply
station nuisance the clay embankment nuisance
and others, some OF which may be all right in
their proper places. but become nuisances when
found In neighborhoods where they do not
belong.
The point OF 1t all Is that other cities do not
have the same trouble we have in tackling
nuisances and finishing the Job OF abatement
with promptness and Certainty. SO what good
reason is there why all the different kinds OF
nuisances should be allowed TO run rampant
here?

Tom Edison and the Navy.

Secretary Daniels has secured little further
advertising for his navy program by inducing
Thomas A. Edison to consent to head a board Of
inventors and investigators. which will give its
time to devising and testing inventions for uses
in connection with the water defenses OF the
United States. Mr.. Edison and his associates
will cooperate with naval board. and II is the
hope OF those who have formulated the plan
that from the combination will come remarkable
results.
So long as we are 10 have a navy, and It ~
an admitted necessity, ought to have the best
the money spent will buy but It does seem that
the last years Of life OF the greatest inventor OF
the age might better be devoted TO a continuance
OF his pursuits OF the arts Of peace II is easily
conceivable that the mind that gave US the
photograph. the moving picture machine. the in
candescent light the multiplex telegraph and a
host of similar benefactions may still produce
Innovations and Improvements that will be OF
service to humanity and not useful only in the
destructive processes Of war.
Let the shoemaker stick TO his last" The
personnel OF the navy has a sufficient number
OF highly trained and experienced experts TO
properly deal with the problems OF the navy
Tom" Edison should be permitted to devote his
wonderful mind TO the consideration Of matters
much more vital to the interests OF mankind
than defense against attack by submerslble war
ships.

Her Indignation Not AIIayed.

OMAHA, July 12.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: The old adage Its the truth that
hurts has again proven true, as ex-
emplified in A. b. Mickle's answer to my
letter.
You. Mr.. Mlckle, seem very much
peeved over the fact that n mere
woman" should say such things to you,
for as you say. that's not usual 90
currence at you house. You make the
assertion II 1 was your wife would
have to toe the mark" Never would !.
for would absolutely refuse to live with
a man of your caliber. The good lord
never intended that a woman stand for
the things your poor wife does. 1t Is
my belief that your wife doesn't see
things as you do at all. Its simply a
case OF you having her ''buffaloed."
You come back at me with but one
Issue. the movies" the very thing 1
made no mention OF whatever. You also
take II that l am a regular attendant Of
same For your own satisfaction, let me
state here, II has been well over n year
since any OF us have been 70 the movies,
We don't have to go to movies TO enjoy
life. We have lots OF music and lots Of
company in our home. along with lots of
your so-called Injuries which indeed
make life worth living. We are COM
panions with no one posing" which also
makes life more pleasant.
AS for me spending my husband 8
money faster than he can make IT, we
have our own home. modern in every
respect so l can't have spent all OF 1t,
and by the way / do all my own work,
including my sewing. so you see his
money isn't going for things of that
nature,
No doubt you will again make answer
to this letter, but my time is far too
valuable 10 waste. hut let me say here,

Quick wit saves Him.

exposure at a recent service by his quick wit
lie had studied his sermon carefully. but had
neglected TO make any notations of the number OF
the chapter from which the text was taken
In the pulpit he announced the text and then stopped
short while the congregation waited to hear from
what place In the Bible IL taken.
As he noticed the absence of notes TO this fact lie
quickly announced. Pm going TO give you a week to
