More truth lhan Foetry.
Omaha, Aug. 1s.-To the Editor Of The
Bee The Omaha Commercial club seems
stumped in its efforts to tempt new fac
tories to Omaha. They are about to conduct
an extensive advertising campaign through
out the land. A more valiant effort at home
to make Omaha better place to live would
go farther toward attracting new people
than brass band campaign abroad that has
nothing more substantial to support It's noise
than its own brassy blare.
The faults Of Omaha are adjustable, as
were the same faults In other similar sized
towns. that have regulated them years ago
The concern Of Omahans seems to have been
to cover the faults by having every good
booster shout himself hoarse for Omaha
every time defect is mentioned. A casual
glance Is sufficient to convince any one who
has seen different methods, that the admin
istration of city affairs In Omaha Is strictly
on the rural town order, with not an inkling
of what municipal efficiency should be-
There doesn't seem to be a newspaper In the
city with spine enough to fight what they
know is backward and dangerous methods.
There is no regular, ash. rubbish and
garbage removal by city department. The
garbage that is removed Is not properly dis
posed of, but herd Of sinking hogs al
lowed to trample 1t into ,unspeakable filth and
dangerous contamination to the health.
The police department Is underpaid and
lacking in number and efficiency. This de-
partment sees fit to allow any itinerant,
gypsy. fortune teller, to advertise Omaha by
setting up shop on the main streets. Beg
gars are allowed to ply their trade ad libitum,
giving the inference that the community does
rot protect its poor in institutions, but fos-
tiers vagrancy. Through lack Of efficiency,
courage or desire. the police department al
lows congregations Of thugs. blacklegs and
buns wherever the inclination Of that gentry
deem it wise to gather. Loafers line the
downtown sidewalks and postoffice steps
with no interference from the police.
The fire department has not seen fit to
protect outlying districts with call boxes.
These things are louder argument against
Omaha than the noise down at the Ak-sar-
Ben den can eliminate. They delete the
pretty advertising about Omaha. Just make
Omaha 7 more like regular city and the
Commercial club won't have to bally hoo for
Omaha. 1t will grow like well tended cab
bage. LYNN GILMAN.

Omaha, Aug. l5.-To the Editor of The
Bee Some of our modern thinkers claim
that since man began to interfere with nat
ural processes or inclinations, the law OF the
survival of the fttest ceased to act uni
versally.
II ceased to act to certain extent be-
cause of unequal opportunities in our present
society, but, il we take larger view, We
will find that it still works out In the diff
ferent races of mankind. even as 1t does in
the plant world.
E. Francis Andrews recently told US OF
how the group of composite" flowers. in
GLIDING such as the sunflowers, asters, chrys-
anthemums, etc.. (which constitute one-sev-
enth of all known speciesj reached the head
of the vegetable kingdom by developing a
system of cooperation. We also notice how
among the races OF the highest product in the
animal kingdom. those socially inclined are
favored, while the more individualistic ones
succumb. The negrS increases in number
and the Indian is being eliminated.
The present war hastened the irresistible
trend of the white race. Over night, as 1t
were. private monopoly was changed to state
socialism. This in time will give place to
colectivism or more efficient cooperation.
The closer adhesion viii necessitate the
condemnation Of activities harmful to the
progress of society as a whole, while foster
ing others by offering unlimited opportunities
to individual development through public
service. Thus will gradually be created eth
les of new order, bringing out more de-
cisively the strongest characteristics of the
favored survivors,; viz, the intelligent and
humane qualities. and the power Of combina-
tion will make 1t easier to break down bar
riers of environment, hostile to the race.

49, Christian Scientists believe that
in no other way can they realize the
full import of what has been mistak-
emily regarded as the vicarious atone
ment of Christ Jesus, but which was
in fact the perfect demonstration Of
man s at-onement with God
Those who the familiar with the
true nature of Christian Science know
that it is quite unlike every form of
mesmerism. 1t even differs from what
is ordinarily referred to as "faith
cure. - While Jesus in his ministry
often required faith of those who were
seeking to be healed, and Christian
Science teaches that faith is in itself
q desirable quality, yet something more
than the exercise Of what NAV be
termed "blind faith is involved III
the practise of true Christian Scien-
lists. The 'prayer Of faith as UNI
derstood in Christian Science is in
fact the prayer of spiritual under
standing. This prayer is the exact
opposite of that form of mental treat
ment which consists in the exercise OF
human will-power or the effort OF one
person to control or influence the
thoughts of another by means of mes
merism or mental suggestion.
The prayer or treatment of the
Christian Scientist is based upon his
spiritual discernment of the fact that
there is but one Mind. The mesmer-
ist s endeavors are based upon the be-
lief that there are minds many and
that one Of these many minds can in
fuence another for good or evil. Here
in lies the danger of mesmerism OF
mental suggestion; whereas the safety
of Christian Science practice consists
in its entire dependence upon the pow
er of one infinite Mind, the effect OF
which can be only good.
Mary Baker Eddy did not invent
anything in her discovery of Christian
Science. She did not add to that
which already was. She discovered,
the Principle underlying the spiritual
healing Of physical disease by the
prophets, by Christ Jesus, and by the
early Christians. As the result of heI

Mrs. Eddy saw the fruition of he1
lifework and the extension Of the
movement which she founded in every
part of the civilized world.
Mrs Eddy has been declared by tht
governor of her native state to hav,
been New Hampshire s greatest WON

by reason of her achievements. But o
all her wonderful works, that 10
which Christian Scientists revere ant
