Science and Healing,

One point, too commonly overlooked In con-
nection with the practice OF healing. is given
Illuminating emphasis by the Journal OF the
American Medical Association. That paper
points out that II mans watch is In need OF
repairs. he does not take IL to a blacksmith or
tinker with Il himself. but takes Il to an expert
that It may be properly adjusted. Yet when
that same man discovers some Of his bodily func-
lions have become deranged he is quite as ant TO
turn himself over to the ministrations OF an nm
informed person as he is to seek out one who is
qualified 20 tell him what is wrong
The point the Journal seeks 10 make Is not
aimed especially at any OF the healers, but Is
intended to draw attention TO the very important
business OF determining the nature and the
eausation OF disease. More than this. the neces-
sity OF early as we'll as accurate determination
Is set forth as a vital factor in the combat
against disease. Modern methods require that
properly equipped diagnostician be an expert
familiar with the handling Of high-power micro
scopes, able to recognize specific germs, and full
OF vast quantity OF specialized knowledge To
him should be left the naming OF the disease
because his is the knowledge that can be relied
upon.
After the nature OF the disease has been
fixed. then the sufferer may, II he SO elect. seek
out any form Of healing that meets his indiyid.

BY the laying on Of hands. by mental processes
by massage or manipulation OF by getting an
old-faEhioned doctors dose. What he should
do is TO make sure OF what really ais him. and

Mothers Day.

This is Mothers day, so designated by execu-
tive proclamation, and dedicated to some sort Of
public manifestation OF feeling that lives con-
stantly in the hearts OF ALL 1t is one occasion,
at least when all the world may unite in a COM
mon tribute to the source and inspiration of
humanitys deepest and most lasting affection.
The impulse'i is one that goes far back into the
earliest times of the race. The Egyptians based
their theology on motherhood, their story Of
creation being involved in the great mother,
whom they worshiped. and their greatest deity
was the divine goddess who brooded lovingly
over the earth and sustained It by her constant
care. other schemes for creation, existence and
salvation may have departed in some degree
from Oils thought, but through them all mother
hood has persisted as a vital factor.
Mother is the most sacred word in the Ian
guage. the name to which mankind clngs with
the fondest veneration. The impulse Of mater
nifty runs through all creation, and the function
and responsibility of motherhood Is the sublimest
trust that can be given. Nowhere else can be
found the equal OF the mothers devotion. the
length OF her sacrifice the quality OF her love.
The world may laugh at all other things Of life,
but Il takes its hat off to mother.
The Koran says: Paradise lies at the feet
OF motherhood" and all creeds and sects join
in saying amen"

Less than year has passed since the light
automobile was brought into service as a COM
petitor with the trolley car. but It's spread has
been so general that the "jitney'' has made it's
entry into nearly every large city in the country
The literature OF the industry" is growing
apace, with voluminous reports from surveys
and Investigations wherever the condition war
rants serious consideration OF the problem. some
OF these say the itney has already run its course
and others predict that the jitney is the begin
ming of the end OF the trolley car but the trolley
is not ready to yield. and the fight for suprem-
acy is under way.
In Los Angeles the case has been submitted
TO a referendum vote OF the citizens In Van
couver the trolley line has struck back by a re-
duction in fare. Other cities have yet to meet
the problem squarely. but We will doubtless soon
hear OF other measures for dealing with the
auto as a common carrier. Regulation IL i'm
perative, but the public is SO far gamer in the
service rendered The trolley, IL II is to hold
It's own, Will have to meet the jitney bus as It
did the horse car and the cable line. by serving

Setting III. World Back.

The profoundest philosophy will hardly be
able to withstand the effects Of the brutalzing
influences Of the present war. The Bee is not in
clined to take pessimistic view, because Of its
firm faith in the general upward tendency of
humanity a whole. but We cannot behold the
loosening OF all the base passions OF man without
feeling that the cause OF civilization has lost
something that cannot readily be restored. Just
now the ignoble elements OF mans complex
nature are in the ascendancy, and all the pa
tiently reared edifice OF human achievement is
suffering from the results Of the debaueh that
has followed the commencement OF armed con-
flict between the leading exponents Of all en-
lightenment Hope lives, and philosophers COM
fort themselves with the thought that out Of it
will eventually come good, but the most readily
apparent result OF this war so far is retsrda-

One Lesson of the Election.

II our recent Omaha city election teaches one
lesson more than another, II must be that the
quest of votes is not helped by the candidates, or
their spokesman, running down their home town,
While no denies that civic conditions con-
stantly offer room for improvement, Omaha will
compare favorably in every field OF public and
private activity with other cities Of the same
class, and this is so thoroughly known that peo-
pie take no stock In lurIdly painted pictures por
traying the terrible depths from which We are
to be lifted only by putting somebody out Of
office to make way for somebody else. The
neutrality-suspicious. and blow-your-own-horn
method Of campaigning evidently does not get
anywhere. but. on the contrary, even when per-
petrated by self-constituted newspaper cham
pions. reacts TO the detriment. instead of to the
advantage, OF the favored candidates who other
wise might pass as good and well meaning fell
lows.
We hope that this lesson of the election--it
Is the same lesson that was taught by the cleo
ton OF last fall--will not be lost entirely on
those who will have charge OF future campaigns
and particularly on those who will have charge Of
the coming campaign for prohibition, who, We
know, will be soreiy tempted to pursue the same
blackwsshing tactics
