PRUDISH PRESS PoUNcED ON
BY NEWSPAPERMAN

BY NEWSPAPERMAN
The prudish newspaper, the one
which holds back from discussion of
vital sex facts for fear of offending
readers, came in for rap from Eric
C. Hopwood, managing editor of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, before the
social hygiene conference in the Con-
gress hotel yesterday.
For years we were not allowed to
use the phrase 'redhght district on
the Plain Dealer for fear of turning
away some of our subscribers" de-
clared Hopwood. Eve spoke of this
district as the neighborhood or 10
cality where women Of an undesir-
able community congregate.'
"Then came the time when we de-
cided to aid in aboIishing the red
light district. 1t came about by fore
ing the police to act through series
of plain stories of conditions in the
brothels.
''Prudery is still a fault with hun
dreds of our newspapers. And by
their refusal to discuss potent facts
they are neglecting a chance to do a
vital good to readers.
''Take, as an instance, the case of
the unmarried mother. Things have
progressed so far as to give her the
same consideration in a newspaper
that the business of muzzling dogs
and erecting of water troughs get.
There are three ways that news
paper can aid the cause of hygienists
who want their message before the
pubhc-through the news stories, by
open and frank discussion in the edi-
torial columns and by signed ar
ticles of experts"
The Chicago Herald and its writer
who took story about the danger
of the giggling girl fiirt" was PANIED
by members of the conference.
A serious matter handled in jo-
cular way to make a story" was

With the blood-stained vinegar
barrel as the biggest clue to muir

Omaha is today extending welcome to the
Travellers Protective association, and is mighty
glad Of the opportunity Of doing so. These men
who represent mighty army OF soldiers enlisted
in the strife OF peace, n that apparent paradox
may be permitted, deserve the best our hospi-
taiity can provide. In honoring them Omaha is
honored.
And this is said in no selfish spirit, for the
travelling salesman is no stranger TO Omaha.
Thousands OF them live here, and go out from
here on their mission, while other thousands
visit here with periodic regularity and know
what welcome the city has for strangers within
it's gates These men are the missioners of
trade, and carry into all parts of the world the
gospel of the good they have to sell. Commerce
depends upon them, and industry thriyes by
their activity.
Much OF Omahas greatness has been builded
on the activity of the travelling salesman. Traf-
fic reaching into hundreds of millions has been
established here through the agency OF enter
prise whose success has finally been achieved by
reason OF the experts who have united buyer and
seller, in the close bonds of commerce. The
travelling salesman is an indispensable factor in
the material growth OF this community, and his
Importance has never been underestimate. This
is why Omaha is proud OF the privilege of well
coming and entertaining this representative or
ganization and, matter what his line, The
Bee says TO each visiting brother. We're glad
you are here. Enjoy yourself. and ASK for what
you don't see'"

Rrran Following ToIstoi.

Mr.. Bryan's appeal to the American people
for judgment between his position and that OF
the president Is adroitly worded, as Mr. Bryan's
appeals usually are, for the purpose Of impart-
ing a quality of plausibility to support
tenable position. IL is quite easy to agree that
persuasion should be used TO the very utmost,
hut when persuasion fails what alternative is
left but submission or resistance?
Inferentially. Mr.. Bryan restates Tolstofs
doctrine OF passive resistance. which the great
Russian leader preached mistakenly to the
reformers in his country, whose political activ-
ity sent SO many TO Siberia. More than twenty
five years ago George KEENAN, returning from
his Investigations in Siberia, visited Tolstoi.
taking messages from convicts he had met in
many parts OF that prlson-country. but especially
from politicals condemned to living death In
the mines at Kara. On this occasion Tolstoi
o. pounded his doctrine to his visitor, and when
Kennan recounted peculiarly pathetic case Of
suffering under the brutality OF a prison officer
and It's tragic end. TolstoI closed the converse
ton by saying; "If you oppose force by force,
you multiply violence"
In time reason will very likely supplant force
In the settlement OF all disputes. between indi-
viduals as we'll as between nations. That day
may not be afar Off. but for the present passive
resistance has but little part in international
affairs. Americans may yet lead the nations
OF the world into the light OF pure reason and
settlement OF controversies by persuasion but II
was Tolstoi who gave the world the thought.

AS 70 Political Po.tmasters.

In his speech on ELECTION OF Postmasters'
before the recent state convention Of Nebraska
Nasbys, Congressman Stephens makes out con-
elusive case against the appointment Of post
masters by congressman as reward for political
support, but he falls lamentabIy to make out
case for his method of leaving their selection to
a primary vote OF the patrons of the office. The
use OF The postoffice as political foot ball pic
tured by him furnishes full warrant for upset.
ting this pernicious practice, and II Congress-
man stephens has, as he claims, made Il quite
impossible for my successor in office TO ever
again barter the postoffices OF this district for
personal or party advantage" he has some
thing to boast over
But II the Postoffice department Is an intri-
cate business enterprise. requiring technical
knowledge and business experience at every
point FOR It's successful operation, then the SUBJ
stitution of the primary election for a con-
gressional appointment may relieve the con-
gressmAn from odlous duty. but Il holds forth
no certainty Of furnishing better material In
a word, the case he really makes out is for put
ting the postmasters, the same as other postal
employees, under civil service. and making the
postmastership position to be earned by way
OF gradual promotion from the ranks. II we
are to have political postmasters, the congress-
men can choose them Just as we'll as anyone,
but II we are to have merit postmasters. the
merit must be determined by impartial effi-
cheney tests rather than by popularity contest
whether confined TO one political party or
thrown open TO all partisans.

women ana Peace.

OMAHA, June iS-To the Editor Of
The Bee; In his lecture Rabbit Wise
made several astonishing and misleading
statements, one OF which was Wars
would never cease until women were al
lowed a part In government" We ell
know nations do not go TO war by ballot.
The women OF Colorado, where they have
voted for twenty-three years, have been
unable to prevent riot and war in that
state, while Nebraska has, through man
suffrage alone, placed a law upon the
statute books which prohibits the i'm
portation Of armed men to protect prop
erty. Why hasn't Colorado, where women
share equally with men in government
such law2 Colorado IL the only state
which has called for federal aid twice
during the last ten years (190t and 1910
to suppress war and anarchy within its
borders. Moreover, the whole country
has had TO pay for those two armed
interv Nntions. while Colorado citizens are
paying the highest per capita tax of any
in the union.
Another statement was that there are
at present over 100000 of men under
arms and IN battle, without one woman
being asked her opinion" Is the wise
Rabbi from the east" ignorant OF the
facts or wilfully playing to the
galleries7' Every one conversant with
facts knows that not one man out OF the
10000 recruits OF Canada has been ac-
cepted without the consent of his wife or
mother. The patriotism Of Canadian
women Is not exceeded by the mems
patriotism.
A eablegram from London in the New
York Times of April 14 stated that
thirty-three thousand women have
registered themselves for special war
service up to the end OF March" Are
these facts not a RECITATION OF such a
statement?
Every true woman deprecatss war and
longs for peace with honor" but the
peace at any price propaganda as ad-
vanoed by few men, who themselves,
never shouldered a musket and whose
ancestors have no record OF service in
helping to make this great republic what
1t Is today and a large number Of
splnsters. childless and husbandless
women. will have no influence upon the
patriotic men and women ready and will
ing TO take a part in protecting their
country.
Where would our republic be today
Il the wives and mothers of our ancestors
bad taken the attitude some of these
emotional. hysterieal women Of today
have taken.
The writer Is loyal American. whose
ancestors had a small part Is establish
ing and maintaining American liberty and
Independence.
There VIII be universal peace some day,
not because OF Rabbi Wise's theory Of
''pettieoat rule but when the world be-
comes humanized and spiritualiEed.
