Not a Good Comparison.

The 81. Louis Republics loyal effort to ex-
cuse the Wilson administration by comparing
Omaha to Mexico is going just little too far.
Allowance is always made for partisan zeal. but
this attempt to justify the Carranzista course
lacks something in both logic and reason. Omaha
doesn't take any pride in the disturbance re-
ferred TO. and doesn't particularly relish the
idea Of being set up as q screen for the miser-
able record made by the present administration
in connection with Mexico. First OF all. no talk
o. war was ever heard in the discussion of the
matter. Secondly. the foreign governments con-
cerned moved promptly TO secure protection for
their subject residence here. These governments
realised they were dealing with responsible
power. and therefore that the formal representa-
lions only we're all that were needed Order
was Immediately restored, and thorough
authoritative inquiry was duly made. and repara-
ton is now rendered by our government for the
damage endured by the foreigners involved
Contrast this course with the years Of watch
ful waiting that have been marked by an unend-
ing series Of outrages against American citizens,
domiciled in Mexico. and without eequitals
other than empty promises of impotent leaders,

MY NE1GHBcR's DOG.

He sleeps all day and banks all night;
1t surely is holy fright
To listen to his dismal howl
And then to see his master scowl
Because / ask him to control
His barking dog that wrecks my soul;
Depriving me of needed sleep,
OF which / seldom get a peep,
Unless perchance the dog should choose
To go and take little snooze.
I've listened to his howl for years.
With shattered nerves, I'm shedding tears
About the sleep did not get.
And while that dog is barking yet
have no right to use the gag
For on that dog there Is a tag
That gives to him the towns permit
To bark, or howl, or have a fit;
But oft at night. about eleven,
wish that dog was in Dog heaven.

OMAHA, Jan. 22.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: A correspondent cites the com
mandment. Thou shalt not kill" to sup
port his argument that war Is forbidden
from on high. He should read on. and
he will learn OF how Moses gave his in
structions to Joshua. and held up his
staff while the children of Israel fought
and overcame the hosts OF Amalek. And
all along the way from Egypt to the
promised land. battle followed battle. tin
the kingdom Of the Jews was established.
Moses was a warrior. David was war
rior. and Solomon led his armies. SO
long as the Hebrews kept their faith with
God. their arms supported their kingdom
with victory. Their God was a god of
battles, as well as a god Of peace. Christ
said: II am not come to send peace but
a sword" st. John the divine, tells of
the rider on the white horse: In right
eousness he doth Judge and make war"
Pacifists who rely upon the Bible to
support their arguments must ignore a
great deal that is written there.

OMAHA. Jan. z2.--To the Editor OF The
Bee: At a regular meeting of Omaha
chapter. Daughters Of the American
Revolution. upon the request OF the chair
man OF the committee on patriotic edu-
cation. the members were addressed by
Superintendent Graft and DR.. Jenkins of
the Board of Education on the subject OF
American History in the Central High
School," After listening TO these gentle
men. it was discovered that the report
that American history had been made
elective in the high school was a COM
plete misapprehension.
The action taken some time ago by
the board implied nothing more than the
giving to the principal of the high school
a very limited and particular discretion
in excusing q few pupils upon whom the
requirement might seem to work some-
thing of a hardship. Moreover, the
boards action. provided that this dis
erection was to be exercised subject to
the approval of the boards committee
on teachers and courses Of instruction.
1t was found that instead of reducing the
study OF our American life and institu-
tions the board had made a requirement
of civics from every pupil. 1t was also
found that twenty-five more pupils are
taking American history this year than
last
The Omaha chapter feels that in justice
to the Board of Education. this public
endorsement of the boards action il due.

lists to use hypnotic suggestion for the
alleviation Of pain, and this added
greatly to his success.
At the meeting Of the Illinois Dental
society held In 1896 DR.. Bentley read a
paper on New Outlooks In Dentistry"
In which he made the following sug-
gestion. couched In prophetic words:
IF the public schools will respond to
the growing demand for larger knowl-
edge Of the structure and work Of the
human frame we may confidently hope
for the installation Of competent den-
lists In the schoolroom, who may make
examinations of the mouths Of children
and advise them as to the correction of
pathological conditions that may exist
1t would also afford fruitful source
for the collection Of data upon a wide
range Of subjects, the Importance Of
which cannot be Overestimated."
Replying to DIR. Bentley, DR.. 9. B.
Rohland dissented, fearing that the
, public would not take kindly to dental
examinations In public schools. For
tunately DR.. Rohland's fears were not
well grounded. The public has taken
kindly to public school dental examina-
tions, and the public spirited work of
the profession in this field is fully ap-
preciated and approved by the masses.
Two years later the Odontographic so
ciety, at the suggestion of DR.. Bentley.
instituted an investigation into the
condition Of the mouths and teeth of
the children Of the public schools. One
year later Dr. Bentley submitted his
report, which was the basis Of future
work along this line, and today dental
examinations are being made in nearly
all Of the public schools Of the country.
II priority of action counts for any
thing DR.. Bentley Is the father of oral
hygiene. which nowadays claims 80
much public and professional attention.
The Odontographic society Of Chicago
was organized by DR.. Bentley in 1888.
and he was elected its first president.
In 1908 the society gave what was
practically great dental congress
There were 1900 members Of the pro-
fession and 1000 dental students I'm

gathering was DR.. c. e. Bentley, who
