Let the Public Know.

Ever since the president gave out his plans
Tor preparing the country for defense there has
been a demand that the recommendations OF the
army general staff be also made public. as il
was generally understood that the president
turned down certain recommendations of the
staff Secretary Garrison of the War depart
ment has now added his appeal and properly
urges that this is matter in which the entire
LAtion is deeply interested. and the presumption
is that the general staff. with it's technical
knowledge, should have ideas at least worth
consideration. That the public has limited
knowledge OF military affairs is In a large meas
ure true, but II is Just capable OF passing
judgment on the army report on the presi-
dents plan. The public must bear the burden
a increased army and navy expenditure and
congressional action must have popular support
to carry the measure through.
That the army plan is more extensive and
expensive than the public would approve is
probably true but 80 far il deals with the sci
entife conduct OF war or preparation for the
same is more likely to be based on correct prin-
cples and capable OF effective execution than one
evolved by civilians The reasons for withhold
ing any official recommendation from the pub
le are not obvious, and the very fact of its being
held back increases the desire TO know. though
publication may possibly cause people to wonder
what all the secrecy was about.

city OF South Omaha was scared because
the dog barked at him a little.
The dog had more friends than any dog
in the old city OF South Omaha, for not
only little boys and girls but men and
women called him by name and shock
hands with him. for he delighted to be
petted He always wanted me to bring
him to my office evenings and II l did
not bring him he would appear as dis
appointed as a child. The late Senator
Vest was right i'm his panegyric on the
dog az being mans best friend. We miss
our friendly old dog greatly.

BY the ratification of the treaty between the
| nited States and Haiti by the senate of that
country the United States may acquire another
ward. The affairs OF Santo Domingo, the re-
naming portion OF the same island. are already
similarly supervised, and Nicaragua and Cuba
10 less extent are subject to supervisory con-
troll by this government. Up to date the United
etates has been fairly successful in administer
ing the fiscal affairs Of these turbulent countries
and also In substituting order and quiet for the
turmoil of continual revolutions, but II this gov
eminent is to undertake similar missions in all
me lands on this hemisphere, where revolutions
break out, II will be covering considerable ter
rltory and assuming burden that may some
day become too heavy for comfort e
In Haiti, as elsewhere, the American marine
las already substituted order for chaos but the
rehabilitation OF the country in an industrial
nnd economic way promises TO be difficult
problem which the senate is likely to balk on
when the treaty comes up for ratification. The
Zig brother idea is all right, but these people
should not take too much OF the time and ener-
giles of the big brother for he has some prob
Ions OF his own that need attention.

He Was a GOOD Dog.

SOUTH SIDE. OMAHA. Nov 1s-To
the Editor OF The Bee: 1t Is claimed
that animals have no soul. That may be
true. but I have seen animals that
thought were much more deserving OF Z
soul and OF a future life than some peo-
pie | have seen in my time.
II my good 10-year-od Gordon setter
dog that died on Tuesday of this week Is
not entitled to a future existence. then
even few people are entitled to it. for
though we did notNtry TO make a special
pet OF him and did not try to teach him
many things. yet he was so good and so
intelligent that he seemed more like a
child than a dog. When / would get up
in the morning he held up his right paw
to snake hands with me. When / would
go to my meals at noon and in the even
ing he would always be out in the front
yard 20 meet me and frequently would
come a block or two TO meet me and al
ways held up his paw 10 shake hands.
but when / would be leaving home even
for a few hours, he refused TO shake
hands with me-goodbye,
II seems to me that a dog that win do
that way has more than animal instinct
to tell him Just when / would be coming
home and when 60 come 70 meet me.
When l was leaving home on Tuesday
afternoon less than two hours before he
died from pleurisy, he wagged his tail
and held Up his right paw for me to
shake hands goodbye, a thing he had
never done before. Was It simply instinct
that told him It was his last goodbye 10
me? felt that it was his last, for he
was so bad off
We did not try to make him affection
ate. but It is seldom that a human being
shows as much affection as that dog
showed toward US. Even when I would
scold him or slap him for some little Of
tense he would sneak up behind me and
try TO lick my hands to make up again.
II he would see someone go along with
a gun. or spade. or hoe. or anything over
their shoulders he would bark al them
furiously because he thought anything
carried over the shoulder was a gun. lie
seemed 70 know anyone that did not like
dogs and he seemed 20 take delight in
barking At them just 10 spite them. for
he would not bite. even though a member

SILVER CREEK. Neb., Nov. B.-To
the Editor Of The Bee: From last sun
days Bee II appears that while Rev. Dr.
Frederick F. Rouse OF the First Congre-
gational church of Omaha does not be
lieve the Bible account of creation, yet
he declares that in his future preaching
he will lay especial stress on redemption.
But IL the Bible story OF creation is not
true, how can DR.. Rouse believe, If he
does believe. that other equally absurd
story wherein 1t appears that snake
crawled through a garden fence, or
maybe sat up on the top rail, and en-
tered into conversation with a woman,
and that Adam and Eve committed a
grievous sin Notwithstanding they did
not know the difference between right
and wrong?
Since Adam. as we are told, did not
know good from evil, he certainly could
not have known there was anything
wrong in eating fruit that God had told
him not to eat therefore incurred no
guilt in the act OF disobedience and hence
did not fall"
II. then, there was no fall" there was
surely no need of any redeemer and DR..
Rouse's preaching of redemption is
vain. As a matter of fact there could
not have been any redeemer because
there was nothing to be redeemed, and
it necessarily follows tRat the story OF
the birth, suffering and death of Christ
however interesting and affecting it may
be. is not true
Now, take notice that as TO the au-
thenticity of the Bible account Of crea-
ton. l at this time neither affirm mol
deny I simply undertake to show. as ]
think I have shown, that IL. as DR.. Rouse
contends, that story is not true then that
other story of the, fall of man fairly goes
with 1t and is not true; that the bottom
falls out of Christianity, and that the
whole Christian system tumbles into alb
solute ruin. CHARLES WOOSTER.

A PLEA FOR POLAND.

Minna Irving. in Beslie'a
The snow that over Poland lies
Is darkly stained with red
The wind that over Poland signs
Brings broken cries for bread.
Where Paderewskfs music rose,
And Kosciusko fell,
Are beggars waiting in the SHOWS
A Diteous tale to tell.
Her homes are ground TO dust beneath
The conqueror's iron heel,
The wolf Of famine bares his teeth
Beside the naked steel
She cradles on her wasted breast,
A babe too weak to feed;
Arise oh. Empire OF the West,
And help her in her need.
The love of Freedom in the blood
OF Poland ever runs.
And links her DER the briny flood
To Freedoms favored sons.
So from the plenty we command
o! let us now display
The spirit of the open hand,
And smooth her troubled way.

Enforced Deposits by Public Service Patrons.

Enforced Deposits by Public Service Patrons.
The Indianapolis News comments upon n
ruling recently made by the California State
Railroad commission as of much interest to that
city. and we may add also OF equal interest to
public service patrons in Omaha well The
California commission so are told. has swept
tway completely the existing system by which
plblic utility companies required deposits from
consumers to guaranty payment of bills, care OF
equipment. etc BY the commissions decision
the companies are required to return the de-
posts or to apply them upon current bills, and
their right TO discontinue service for nonpay
rient OF disputed bills is denied. "To compel
a customer to pay excessive BILL" declares
the commission. lis manifestly unfair and un-
Just; no utility company has the right to be the
Judge in Its own case, as at present"
The indianapolis paper calls attention to the
fact that the water company there may require
1900 consumers TO deposit $40 each In its
custody which would give II the free use Of
ever 100000 OF other peoples money. and
more than that, provide leverage for enforc-
ing all sorts OF arbitrary exactons. The strange
thing is that here In Omaha the only public
service that Is permitted to demand deposits
and to have the whip-hsnd in all disputes is the
publicly-Owned utility. whose patrons apparently
lave no recourse.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Nov. ls.-To
the Editor OF The Bee. l am from Mis-
souri, and the Ozark mountains, and have
been wondering where Iowa country
school teachers get their education. W
a country district not far from Council
Bluffs the pupils are taught that It is a
disgrace TO be Mrs. Jones hired girl
Maybe II isl don't know Perhaps we
should all fall down on our knees when
we meet a country school teacher. Vest
I hadn't thought OF Il before. but I think
perhaps we should. This came teacher
tries to teach housekeeping. One Of the
text books says. "One should wear q
tub dress while working in the Kitchen"
One OF the children asked this well-in-
formed teacher the definition for tub
dress. and he said. 1T was some kind of
loose sack or something.
I wish he would write to Advice for
the Lovelorn," and ask the meaning Of
tub dress. A loose sack or something
may be all right for him to wear I'm the
kitchen, but Mrs. Jones hired girl very
much prefers something heater. AS for
being Mrs. Jones hired girl, / am one
My wages are 80 q week l have a good

all my evenings off il l want them also
Thursday afternoons and Saturday after
moons and evenings. I have time to sew,
to read good books, to entertain my
friends. 70 go to the movies and 20

last as long as I make 1t, and wouldn't
trade jobs with honorable country school
