/. Is II the Right Timel

Is It. OF is II not the right time for Omaha
70 strike out for new Union Depot? The fact
is that the need OF modern and more adequate
station facilities has been evident for a num-
Der OF years. but when the project was first
urged. It made little Roadway because Of the
feeling that the condition confronting the rail-
roads was not encouraging. and the disposition
OF our people was. and still is, not TO be un-
fair in their demands
But conditions have now changed on beth
sides: Omaha needs a new Union Depot to-
day more than II ever did in fact. has made
marked progress along every other line OF
municipal growth and development, while It's
railroads have stood still OF gone backward in
accommodations for incoming and outgoing
travellers. The one thing we want right now.
IN the way OF public improvements, more than
anything else, is a new and creditable Union
Depot
On the other side, all our railroads care
once more either on "Basy Street" or on the
up grade. They cannot again excuse them
selves with the poverty plea" and they must
admit that in depot facilities they are treating
Omaha shameful'y shabby as compared with
other cities with no better claims.
This. then, should be the right time for
Omaha to start after the new depot, and keep
after Il until we get Il.

Delaying work on preparednes..

Senator Borah very properly urges that con-
gress expedite the plans for the new army and
navy. instead of frittering away its time in in
consequential discussion of matters OF less vital
concern II the work of preparing for national
defense. which has been so earnestly requested
o. the congress by the president, is to be done
at all. II ought TO be done promptly. Mr.. Will
son, at Cleveland recently, said no man could
tell what day might bring forth. and 1t was
therefore imperative that we put ourselves in
readiness for any event. At the beginning OF
the present session, in December. pledges we're
made by the executive and by the floor leaders
that preparation for national defense should
have precedence over all other business in con-
gress. Three months have now been spent In
futile oratory, tribute to the obstructive abil-
ity OF the group of pacifists within the demo-
cratic party who follow the leadership Of the
late secretary OF state in his opposition TO his
former chief. Democratic fractional differences
are responsible for the delay that may mean
much to the nation. II the president knows
what he was talking about at Cleveland and
elsewhere. Congress ought to speed up and do
something, one way or the other.

Alcohol a. a Substitute for Gasoline.

A forest ranger carrying on research work
AZ the University OF Wisconsin. announces that
experiments have shown that alcohol can eco
nomicaliy be substituted for gasoline as
source Of power. This Is not new discovery.
More than ten years ago the Department OF
Agriculture carried on experiments to deter
mine the power value OF alcohol, as we'll as its
fuel value. and careful tests were made. In
dependent tests we're made at different places
throughout the country. with the general re-
suit that alcohol showed under working condi-
tons from two-thirds to five-sxths the eff
ficiency Of gasoline. Following these expert
ments an amendment to the revenue laws OF
the United States was passed to permit the
manufacture OF denatured alcohol for domes-
tic uses. II was expected the farmers, who
were then taking up the internal combustion
engine for farm operations. would use the farm
refuse. cornetalks, potatoes, and the like, to
procure alcohol for their own uses. The law
was 50 drawn as 10 perfectly protect the gov
eminent against any abuse by distillers, but
Il practically, prevented the farmer from taxi
ms advantage OF its provisions. The cost Of
raaking alcohol under the present law puts It
out OF reach. Reasonable provisions. that will
reduce the price to figure within reach. will
permit the adoption OF denatured alcohol as a
fuel and source OF power.

Child Labor Bill in the Senate.

The Keatng-owen bill. for the federal regu-
lation OF child labor. which passed the house
and Is now pending In the senate, is being Wig
orousy attacked by the powerful agencies OF
the American Manufacturers Association. APP
peal Is being made TO the reactionary demo-
Gratis that the law is a contravention OF that
most sacred OF democratic dogmas, states
rights. The measure Is designed to control the
employment Of children by excluding from in
terstate commerce all articles into the manu-
facture OF which enters the labor of children
under the age of IL. and limits to eight hours
per day employment between the ages OF IL
and l6 The proposed law is being further at
tackled on constitutional grounds as being an
undue exercise OF the police power
In cases from oregon and New York, involv-
ing similar points. the supreme court has held
that the police power OF the state properly may
be exercised TO protect posterity by preventing
the exhaustion OF women and children in in
dustry. This principle has been so well estab-
lished that II seems TO be here attacked only
as pretext to permit the democrats TO con-
tinue their pose as champions OF progressive
legislation and yet fail to enact the laws to
carry out their promises. The southern cot
ton states are at present chiefly concerned in
the defeat OF the bill. Northern states already
have child labor laws but the great textile in
dustry of the south is based on the employment
OF immature boys and girls, and under present
conditions II is impossible 20 secure the passage
OF state laws to restrict the employment OF chill
dren in southern cotton mills
Great public interest is felt in the pending
measure. which has the support of all organi-
zations devoted TO the uplft, and its course
through the senate will be closely watched

that she may be mistaken in her naive

such publication accomplish good or bad

luxury amongst so-called child welferers

their children go TO the devil. Since their
arrival I should assume that children's
morals would radically improve. Has
