Extending Woman's Part in War.

Napoleon shocked the world by telling the
women OF France their part was to bear children
to rear to be soldiers. Since then much has
been written OF the woman who sits at home
and bears in silence the sorrow and grief that
comes with the slaughter. But this is to be
changed now An English statesman has Just
told the women OF his country that a woman
who takes a mans place at work and releases
him for service in the army, Is performing "a
national war service" This is extending wo-
mans sphere with vengeance.
Women have not been overlooked In tho
European war plans. They have long had part
In industry. in order that business Of the coun-
tries might so on In time of peace, while men
were trained to be soldiers but this is the first
time that they have been fatty told to go to
work that men may go to fight. Woman is no
longer to be left at home to shudder in con-
templating an Imaginary battlefield, or to
tremble in anticipation Of the news OF some
loved ones death. Her part In war is more than
ever important. She is still to be permitted to
bear children and rear them to fight and die,
but she will also be permitted to take up man IS
business in Industrial and commercial fields,
that he may go 10 the front.
The beauty Of war for civilization" is be-
coming more and more radiant with each pass
ing day.

Pride Easily Provoked

We are proud OF our record in the Sixty
third congressl" shouted Champ Clark in clos
ing his 81. Patrick's day address at Philadel-
phia. The speaker thus supports the belief that
IL doesn't take much to make democrat proud.
The Sxty-third congress. In addition to being
the most extravagant ever known in the matter
OF appropriations, was dominated in both
branches by King Caucus. Legislation of the
greatest importance was determined upon be-
hind closed doors, and on strictly partisan lines,
end then was driven through the house or SEN
ate under the spur of party expedency.
The rules under which Champ Clark pre-
sidod as speaker Of the house were determined
for him In the secret councils of his party's or
ganization. and we're deliberately designed TO
prevent anything like freedom OF debate or con-
slderation OF measures on the floor. Nothing

But Why Bother the Lerislature !

City Attorney Rine issues an appeal in be-
half OF a measure pending at Lincoln to compel
the companies operating electric lighting plants
to make public and file a schedule OF the rates
charged, which shall be uniform TO any given
class.
The object Of that bill is a good one, and we
endorse It. But City Attorney Rine's interest in
the bill relates only to Omaha and so far as
Omaha is concerned, why bother the legislature
when all that is needed is for the city council to
pass an ordinance requiring the electric lighting
company to comply with those identical de-
mands? The council, moreover. could have done
this at any time during all the years that Mr..
Rine has been city attorney, and IL can do 1t
now, with the same force and effect within the
city as the legislature. II can do more, for an
ordinance enacted by the council is Immediately
operative, while a state law Is not effective for
three months unless emergency clause is
tackled on to It when enacted.

OMAHA, March 18---To the Editor Of
The Bee; 1 read the old veterans article
on the "Fiends OF Andersonville" with
much interest. but after eonversing with
Major Mcintosh on the subject l am OF
the opinion that Il was "hookworm' after
alt that caused so many deaths at Libby
prison, Belle Isle and Andersonville. It
could not have been hunger. for the
major says that every man confined in
Libby prison received two ounces of soup
bone every week and a stick Of wood a
foot long to cook II with; besides each
mess OF 400 prisoners had a coolstova all
to themselves. History further informs
us that every man confined in the stock
ade at Andersonvllle received his rations
regularly. which, consisted of one pint of
excellent cornmeal (ground cobs and all)
every twenty-four hours, together with q
large slice of atmosphere, and ali the
water and sand he could drink. Wood
was also issued at the rate of twelve
splinters to each moss OF five men. But
we must remember that timber was very
scarce around Andersonville, the forest
being more than 800 yards distant. IL
was not starvation that killed the boys
worm" Captain wirs distributed the
SEINE retions to the prisoners as he did
to his own soldiers, excepting the meat,
the vegetables, salt, sugar. coffee. tea
and bread. He never beat up prisoner
unless 1t was absolutely convenient, and
he always held his temper-at blood heat.
Captain wirz was a scholar aud Chris
tan, and IL is reported that he cured
many a prisoner OF "hookworm'' by hang
ing him up by the thumbs during the
rainy season. and many soldiers widows
drawing pensions from Uncle Sam would
be neither widows nor pensioners but for
the strenuous efforts of Captain wirz.
In Andersonville prison the boys In

ually and to be buried without muffled
