AVOID MISTAKES
No Need for Brinkley People to Experiment With Such Convincing Evidence
 at Hand

There are many well-adver- tised kidney remedies on the market today, but none so we'll recommended in this vicinity as Doan's Kidney Pills. , Read the statement of a resident of Balb Knob. a.
 Mrs. T; T;.-L.--Ssewart, Balb Knob, Ark. says: Whenever my kidneys start acting irregu- larly or my back aches or if I have swelling in my joints and muscles, I use Doan's Kidney Pills. The result is that I am always given relief. I don't know what l would do without Doan's Kidney Pills and I am most grateful to them."

How the Women Voted.

Omaha, Dec. ITO the Editor of
The Bee: In a letter published re-
Gently in your paper S. E. Smith states
that 2,248 women voted for the school
board last month and that 5000
voted two years ago. I am advised
by the election commissioner that the
correct figures for this year are 2,28S,
and that no figures for two years ago
have been. preserved. but it is his
opinion that fewer women voted in
that election than in that Of Novem-
ber Z. last. The statement has been
made at the office of the Board of
Education that the total of the school
census is 10000 names. This lists in
cludes parents as well as children, so
that there are not 10000 children in
the public schools of Omaha, thus
further reducing the number of wom-
en- having the school franchise.
Furthermore, there are hundreds of
Intelligent, conscientious women who
want to vote for the school board, but
cannot, because they have no chill
dren, or because their children are
past school age, or because they have
no taxable property. If s. f. Smith
could hear the indignant protests of
mothers who have voted in the past
but cannot now, she would not talk

A Nation of Spenders

The American Society for Thrift is sounding
a warning that should not go unheeded in these
days of war prosperity. The statistics it has gath
cred indicate how reckless we are with our
money and how little we lay up for rainy day
We are pre-erhinently nation of spenders who
believe in living while we live.
Statistics show that ninety-hve of every 100
Americans who reach the age of 90 years, are de-
pendent upon their daily earnings, or on others,
for support. The total, of course, includes wives
mothers and daughters, who had not tried nor
expected to accumulate competency. But after
they have been elimated the percentage of work.
ers who have nest egg at 80 years, is very small
,en If that is generally considered too young for
retirement
That showing might tend to make all of us
think, and prompt us to begin putting aside some
of our surplus as we go along. Then there is an
other side of the picture presented by the Thrifty
societys statistics, 1t has been demonstrated that
OF the comparatively few who are able to retire
on competency, not one in thirty is able to re-
tain that competency to the close Of life
Maybe the poor luck OF those who do save
up is what prompts so many of us to have good
time as we go along and trust to luck for the fu-
ture But it is a poor system. Almost every one
can save something, and should

MeAdoo's Warning to Congress.

In his annual report to congress Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo solemnly warns his
democratic brethren that the treasury faces a
huge deficit for the year 1918 The fact that the
secretary Of the treasury admits what the daily
reports from his department have shown for
months is impressively significant. Mr.. McAdoo's
hope for balance in the treasury at the close OF
the 1917 fiscal year on June so next rests on the
expectation of enormous returns from income
and other special forms Of taxation These esti-
mates are dependent entirely on the course of the
European war and will cease with the first turn
favorable to termination of hostilites Announce.
ment has joyousy been made by democratic Or
gans that the early returns from income tax col
lections indicate final receipts nearly double those
Of last year These will be needed, for the hole
in the treasury at present is little more than
twice as deep. The first FIVE months of the cur
rent year show deficit Of 500 804, ,97o, as against
$40,7o2,7oS for the same time in the previous year.
This is to be paid out Of the receipts for De-
cember and doubling the revenue from income
tax will not meet the bill. In addition to this,
the budget submitted on the opening day of con-
gress provides for the greatest total of appropria-
tions ever recorded, exceeding those of the last
session by hundreds Of millions 1t is plain
the democrats will have something besides the
presidents program to occupy their attention
il they meet the requirements of situation they
have established in the governments finances.

Lincoln in the High School.

The proposition to teach year Of Lincoln in
the high schools Of the country in lieu of year
Of Latin or Greek is worthy Of earnest consid-
eration 1t is not offered so much because of the
popularity Of Lincoln as great American, but
that the young folks who arc receiving their
training in the public schools Of the country may
be made familiar with profound political and
moral truths, expressed in simple, direct language
Lincoln was not. only thinker whose mental
processes were clear and whose decisions were
sound and broadly based, but he had remark
able faculty for giving his thoughts and conclu-
sions life in sentences that are unequaled as exam
pies Of diction and composition. The Bee has con-
sistently advocated the teaching Of American
history in the public schools, and as heartily
commends the movement to make Lincoln" a

Omaha daily bee., 1916-12-11

One OF the weaknesses of human nature, per-
haps most often in evidence, is being turned in
side out at the daily sessions Of theffederal dis
triet court in Omaha. 1t is the unappeasable
desire to get something for nothing. No swindler
ever succeeded in hooking his victim unless he
presented the unacceptable lure Of profit; he must
persuade by one means or another the buyer into
believing he is getting an unexampled bargain
or the deal will not go on. So the unwary is
trapped, and suffers in loss Of sympathy that
might be his, were it not that above all other
things it appears he felt sure Of biting the bitter.
This should not operate to excuse the sophisti-
Gated rascal who deliberately plots to take ad-
vantage Of the trusting person who is eager to put
his talent to work and so accumulate hundred
fold. Far from it; the windler must be punished,
both as warning to his kind, and as reminder
to the men and women of today that Greeks bear
ing gifts are as dangerous nowadays as when

Emperor Charles Of Austria Hungary in
choosing his reigning title, doubtless had in
mind one or more Of the royal Charleys Of Cen
tral Europe whose careers are worth while.
Under present conditions it is unlikely he gave
thought to the first Charles Of England, a
monarch who got the axe for preaching the "di-
vine right Of kings Though unhonored and
unsung as model ruler, London preserves his
memory in monument on Trafalgar square,
facing Whitehall street. Neither name nor cpl
taph mark the pedestal, and the stranger viewing
the stunted equestrian figures, grotesque in form
and smeared with CRIME, concludes from the
absence OF identifying inscription that Charles
suffered enough humiliation in life.

The Corn Growers

One hears at every hand the repeated state
ment that we must do something" to reduce the
high cost OF living. 1t is theme with which con-
gressmen wrestle and ordinary citizens contend.
They haven't settled il yet nor is it certain lust
how they are to go about its definite and satsfac-
tory adjustment. But they are all fully assured
that "we must do something"
While this argument is in progress there are
in our midst about 1000 brght-eyed bows and
girls from Ohio taking in the sights, looking up
at the monument peeking into the capitol, going
through the library Of congress, making trip to
the tomb of Washington--in fact, having a good
time and becoming properly impressed with The
greatness Of their country
These are the boy and girl Corn growers" !"
They have answered to the teachings in agricu-
ture given by their state and by the federal gov
ernment That noblest of occupations, the tiiiinp
OF the soil, is theirs. To it they have given their
labor. mingled with great enthusiasm and con.
stantly increasing knowledge OF how to make two
good ears of corn grow where only nubbin grew
before This is their day off, and they are ef1ioy-
ing it to the utmost
Perhaps no more opportune time could be
found for telling them and ourselves that thew
have been doing something to reduce the hipb
cost that far outweights all the talk that could
be made in year on the subject As their num-
bers increase they will do still more They fnd
the cities attractive, no doubt, and at times NAV
be afflicted with the desire to exchange their pres
ent lot for one in which they experience much that
is novel and exciting. But there is really nothing
here which they haven't better at home for what
is here they and their kind more than any Others
have created. Ii is just possible that they have
sense OF this truth, and that they will carry back
with them the placid conviction that they can
live without US far better than we without them

In Nebraska Politics.

Grand Island Independent: The Mullen fac
tion of Nebraska's democracy is said to have
welded the snickersnee on an appontee of the
off the federal payroll all in heap. ' 'V'
Fairbury News: A grapevine dispatch says
that the World-Herald is shortly to come out
strongly for prohibition. 1t is little late at this
time for such an innovation, but it cah certainly
do no harm if 1t does no good
Shelton Clipper: Edgar Howard, lieutenant
governor-eec has let it be known that he is
allied with the Bryan wing of, the democratic
party. And Boss Mullen lor anyone else who at
tempts to dictate to the Columbus editor will
have big job on his hands.
Farbury News: Up in Omaha the voter had
tof mark seventy-six places on his ballot, while
the voters out over the state had about forty
places to mark--that is, provided they voted a
full ticket in an intelligent manner This country
needs ballot reform, and needs lit badly
Kearney Hub: The Omaha Bee does not see
why State Superintendent Thomas should be COM
miserated for his recent defeat, and surmses that
it may be Godsend in relieving him from obliga-
tion to fill $2000-a-year job when his talents
can earn much more. That is very true. DR..
Thomas is not the loser. 1t is the people who
lose
Ord Quiz: That row of telephone poles that
the state authorities are having set in the repre-
sentative hall are ostensibly to support the roof
of representative hall. But cannot help thinking
what nice boost those poles will be to the idea
OF naNlng a new CapitOl Dulldlng put up right
away. Those unsightly poles will be constant
object lesson to the legislators and doubtless they
will be pointed to by many Lincoln man and
to those representatives who are on friendly
terms with prospective bidders. Maybe the need
for the poles is more to promote building than
to avert danger.
Fremont Tribune: Deputy Collector Matthews
has just fallen victim to the democratic heads
mans axe. Matthews had headquarters at Hast
ings and was appointed by Collector Loomis be-
cause he was supporter of the Bryan wing of
democracy. He was formerly editor of news
paper at Riverton and had good deal to say
about the Hitchcock wing none of which could
be reasonably construed as complimentary. Ma
tional Committeeman Mullen and Senator Hitch
cock made it known that when Mr.. Loomis' ap-
pointment came up for confirmation it would be
necessary to drop Matthews and he has been
precipitated into the consomme. 1t has always
appeared that there was good deal of blather
about Mr.. Matthews and whether he is or is not
in the government service will probably not make
any visible difference to the party. And SIS a
week salary won't mean much to him in these
days of h. c. of L. but it all goes to show that
there are still some cracks in the Nebraska brand
Of democratic harmony. But maybe these can be
cemented when Mr.. Bryan and Senator Hitch
cock get to working together for national prohi-
bition.

Abraham Lincoln in High Schools.

Omaha, Dec. S.-To the Editor Of
The Bee: OF this important subject.
Judge R. NJ. Wannemaker of the su-
preme court Of Ohio, says Let
American high school teach at least
one year of Lincoln in place of Ceaser,
Cicero or Virgil. which nine high
school pupils out of ten blunder
through and forget within a few
years. What a wonderful contribu-
ton is this idea Of Judge Wanne-
marker to the public schools of this
country.
Abraham Lincoln left heritage to
his people greater then that of any
other man. His life and public serv-
ices are the marvel of the world today;
American freedom and independence
received their true Interpretation from
Lincoln, when he took for his plat
form that noble sentiment called forth
by the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, namely: "All men are
created free and equal, they are en-
dowed by their creator with certain
inalienable rights" etc. He gave a
new impetus to American manhood
and freedom, such as kindled the
fires of patriotism anew and made our
country free in fact as we'll as in name.
Abraham Lincoln was unlike other
great men; he was born from no for
eign mould, he was pre-eminently
American. He talked as Americans
talk, he acted as Americans act, he
thought only of America. His great
Gettysburg oration had its abiding
place in his soul and nothing since
Christ's sermon on the mount, has
given to mankind so choice a produc-
ton. And next to the words of Our
Savior it stands in the hearts of our
people
Scholars Of today who are labor
ing to place the lives of other great
men before us, will soon be replaced
by higher modern classic and it will
not be the translation of Demonthenes
against King Phillip, Cicero against
Cattline, nor the orations of Burke
Fox, Gladstone or Bright. But it will
be the translation of Lincoln's Gettys-
burg speech into the language of every
nation in the world, and not many
years hence the Chinese will be trans
lating it in his mother tongue.
Lincoln Is living with us today Just
as distinctly as in the stirring days of
the sixties. 1t is my hope that every
professor in our schools and colleges,
shall adopt the suggestion Of, Judge
Wannemaker and that our congress
and state legislatures may put it into
the form of inexorable law that one
year of our high school training shall
be given to the study of the life and
public services Of Abraham Lincoln.
