HOUSEWIFE. Win a Battle.

One OF the most notable victories Of recent
days has just been recorded in terse statement
that sugar has come down. No very good reason
is known why sugar went up as it did, but it went,
the sugar magnates feeling that the impending
canning season warranted holding the commodity
at the higher figure The housewives Of America
grappled with the situation by resolutey declining
to steam themselves over stewing fruit during the
hot summer, and with little assistance from nature
in the way Of shortage Of fruit, succeeded in
leaving considerable surplus accumulation of
sugar that is now to be moved at lower prices.
Dinner tables may not hold SO much of jams
and jellies and preserves during the coming cold
season, >but the contents of the sugar bowl will
come cheaper.

Heated Spell in the Senate.

combination OF weather and politics has
produced real Bermuda high" in the United
States senate, under the influence Of which Mr..
Ashurst OF Arizona ran amuck among his col
leagues. Goaded by the remarks Of his opponents
this champion Of undefled democracy, sloshed
around in true Arizona Kicker style, emitting
epithcts and threats, and otherwise defending the
purity of election by INDUCING in the language
and displaying the demcanor OF street loafer.
The incident is further proof that administration
supporters are keeniy aware Of the approach OF
an election, and are anxious to make any sort OF
showing that will enable them to retain hold on
Office. In the case OF Mr.. Ashurst, his excess OF
temperature and zeal was engendered by the pres
ence Of the Owen corrupt practices act, the politi-
cal purpose Of which at the present time is to pre-
serve intact the already adopted abb that the
republicans mean to purchase the election I'm
less we can prevent" shout the democrats, "our
voters will be purchased Wholesale No bit OF all
the partisan buncombe INDUCED by the desperate
leaders Of the Wilson party is thinner than its
pretended support of the Owen election bill, and
none will be more accurately valued by the voters,
who propose to try democracy on its record OF
broken promises.

Good Advice to Teachers.

Superintendent Graft Of the Omaha public
schools, addressing the thousand teachers who
will have charge of the work in the school rooms,
gave them some good advice, among other things
this BIT, which should be taken home by parents
as well as teachers.
Eliminate your non-cssentials, and connect
everything you teach with life. Go out and
connect up. We have gone from pioneer
diet Of the three RS to thanksgiving table OF
plenty. The child is threatened with mental
dyspepsia.
Herein lies the crux Of modern education.
Eliminate nor-essentials. This doesn't mean that
education Is to be restricted to the bare bones
Of special knowledge, but that It should be made
practical and devoid Of things that serve only to
detract attention from realities Ground the
child thoroughly in elementary knowledge, and
when his mind has developed to the proper stage,
he will be able to recognize more clearly his spe-
cial needs and to determine more accurately what
will meet them. Public schools on this basis will
do the greatest possible service.

Cutting oif the Stang Tax.

In agreeing to abolish the stamp tax, so OBJ
noxious to everybody, the democrats resort to a
still flimsier makeshift to fill the gap IN. the
revenue thus created. No serious objection will
be raised to levying tax on profits derived from
war contracts, but the income from this source
Is even more uncertain than the tax on telephone
and telegraph messages, and bonds and real es-
tate transfers. II the war were to terminate
within three months, or six months, as it easily
may, from what source will the government derive
income to make up the dfferencef True, five
millions added to the democratic deficit of half
million day wouldn't amount to much, except
as indicating the policy Of the party in power,
which has shown itself eminently untitled to deal
with great problems Of government Its whole
revenue system Is one Of uncertainty, and without
continuing strength. However, the sale OF bonds
is always easy, and the record Of democracy is
that 1t manages to pile up debts where the re-
publicans accumulate a surplus.

Testing Its constitutionality.

Regardless OF the declaration by President
Ripley that the Atchison road will not accept the
proposed trainmen's wage increase legislated by
Congress except by court order, it has been plain
from the outset that the law would sooner or
later have to undergo judicial test in one form
or another. No legislation affecting the earning
power Of railroad investments has ever been per-
mitted to become operative without running the
gauntlet Of the courts whether rate reductions,
tax increases or other expense-enlarging regula-
ton
Sometimes the court test proves the act in
question to be unconstitutional or invalid but as
rule, even in such cases, the way is at the same
time opened to correct the defects or to accom-
plsh the object in legal manner.
1t is interesting to note the conclusion reached
by one Of the leading railroad lawyers in New
York, quoted in the Wall Street Journal, who
insists that so far as its constitutonality is
cerned one section of the bill 'is not worth the
paper it is written upon" Yet he adds "but no
matter how unconstitutional, the law would have
to be put into actual practice pending decision
OF its constitutionality by the supreme court
which could not be obtained fer about two years.
The actual observance of the law for that length
of time would suffice to establish it as custom
which it would be practically impossible to upset
In railroad service, changes in wage scales or
conditions favorable to the men once made are
permanent.
If this view is correct, it is idle to speculate on
the possibility or probability Of the court setting
aside the new law on the ground Of its unconsttu-
tionalty II its provisions are put into effect on
any road, all the roads will have to do the same
in self protection and the prospect that all OF the
roads will hold out against it is remote.

Make Future strikes Impossible.


David City. Neb., Sept. ITO The
Editor of The Bee: 1t Is conceded
that the strike menace and the par
alyzing of all transportation on rail-
roads is not settled and that remedial
measures must be passed by congress
to prevent the curtailins of business
transactions and certain amount OF
stagnation, 1t would be well for the
newspapers to begin advocating the
enactment Of some practical measures
to control the situation. 1t would re-
lieve the tension and fears In busi-
ness.
All organizations and associations
should be required to take out ma
tional charters doing an interstate
business or controlling laboring men
engaged serving these lines Of COM
merce.
All stock association levying tributes,
even though for beneficiary purposes,
should be regulated in their charges
and acts to prevent fraud and dis
elimination; issuing bonds, shares or
stocks, and to strictly prohibit organ
lzing or framing conspiracies inimical
to the public interests or welfare.
AS it Is necessary to prevent and
subdue riots, mobs and instructions,
to preserve the property ana protect
the lives of the public, by force OF
arms If necessary, 1t Is no less impera.
tive on our government to prevent
strikes and lockouts that may lead to
as serious consequences; and no one
should complain, as the men who seek
to enforce unlawful and arbitrary de-
mands on either side Of the contro-
versy will be as ready to demand pro-
lection from the government should
their interest be imperiled.
When influences are getting ram
pant that threaten public safety there
is time to act before the storms break.
Prevention is better than cure.

Here is a Needed improvement.

Omaha, Sept. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee: There is place on the

Omaha that needs improvement more
than any other place l know of at

third street. There is gap at that
point Of about four blocks that needs
Improvement The street not only is
not paved, but does not run straight.
The street ought to be Strengthened,

ed, and paved.
Hundreds of vehicles of every kind
pass that point every day and 1t has
been passing wonder to me that
steps have not BEEN taken to fix that
street up as 1t ought to be done. The
city commissioners and Commercial
club ought to see that that part Of the
city Is given an improvement that is
q real necessity. | have no personal
interest In the improvement Of this
street except for the good Of the pub
lie in general, for live a number OF
blocks from, the place in question.
hope steps will soon be taken by
the proper authorities to see that this
street is improved in the manner l
have suggested. When we have rains
the place Is very muddy and almost
impossible. An improvement of this
street will benefit not only the local
owners of property, but will be OF
general benefit to the whole city.

Railroads and the Law.

Omaha, Sept. ITO the Editor Of
The Bee. l note without surprise
that President r. P. Ripley Of the
Sante Fe says his road will not obey
the eight-hour law until compelled to
by decision of the supreme court.
In this Mr.. Ripley is consistent with
railroad practice. They never obey
law until compelled to. 1t took over
twenty years to compel them to obey
the law requiring the equipment of
all cars with safety couplers and air
brakes; the law was fought In every
court and every congress, but was at
last established, and today the rail-
road operations could not be carried
on without it. They fought every
compensation law ever passed by ma
ton or state, every rate law and ev-
cry attempt to regulate them In any
way, Omaha carried the viaduct ques-
ton to the supreme court of the
United States and won 1t more than
twenty-five years ago and still must
take each succeeding viaduct case
over the same route. 1t was UNDER
stood in advance that the railroads
would not obey the law until COM
PEELED to. They never did, and that
is why the public feels such deep
sympathy with all their movements.

Washington. Sept. 5.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: have noticed a
clipping credited to The Bee as fol:-
lows:
billions Of cubic fec of waer
aret impounded back of the Path
finder dam; thousands Of acres OF
corn in western Nebraska htirst
for that water. To bring the two
together means to turn the idle
water into golden dollars. Why
is II not done? Because the Re-
cIamation Service of the United
States has stored up the water
and feels that 1t has right to
keep II. What for? To ririgate
the dry lands of the semi-arid
region 1t is intended to serve.
Well, why doesn't the Reclama-
ton Service let the water go to
the cornfields that need 1t? No
body outside of official Washing
ton seems to know"
The Reclamation Service has A
standing offer to turn out any storage
water which II can spare for the use
of those further down the river at the
rate of 20 cents per acre foot. IL any
of the corn fields to which you refer
can make use of this water and de-
sires 1t, it can be obtained at that
price. An acre foot of water is the
equivelant of 325,s50 gallons. In other
words, over 10000 gallons for ! cent.
Do you know of anywhere else that
water can be obtained as cheaply?

and can use It, they should apply to
