ORD, Neb. Oct. 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: There are many married people, | which ia why this discussion going on in The Sunday Bee on the “Marriage Rela- tions” is attracting ®o much attention. 1t attracts the happlly married as well as the discontented. Our marital relations make up so much of our real life, a life which consists of our experlences, our con- | slderations and our expressions. Well miay | 1t be discussed. 1 shall not attempt the relation of in- stances, but simply desire to call attention | to one fact, which is to me wonderful in its import, & fact which answers the ques- | tion: Does the husband or the wife love the other more? That fact is our love| songs. Think now. Count them. Reeall | #ll those you know wherein a woman says #he loves & man. There's “John Ander- eon, My Jo” and “Rebin AJ'qh.J‘ pshaw, that won't do, for that's the love of a wifs for & man who was not her hus- band, though the most popular of all woman love songs—and “My Willle's on the Stormy Sea,”" and—and—ah! Now count thoss wherein a man says he loves & woman, and this newspaper column is not large enough to contain a list of them. Tremendous faot! Both men and women write songs and sing them, and they both overwhelmingly choose the love by & man and almost ignore love by the woman. The songs & people sing indicate what the people are. Songs are accepted only as they satisfy the sympathiea of the indi- vidual singer. That nimety-nine people sympathize with love by a man where only one chooses love By a woman argues that man loves and woman does not. The hus- band loves his wife; the wife does net love her husband. That is generally true, else the voice of our songs is false. And how 18 tho Iatter possible—the voice of all our songsters and singers? “Ome of the Suf- ferers” seems to be disappolnted. Tho reason is that he expected the tmpessible. Had his mother spanked hfn when he cried for the moon, he might have learned that the moon fs mot his and he can't have It To my mind, this condition ef love by the man and no love by the weman is nat- ural, a necessary result from_ conditions from which the human animal cannet es- cape. But it I ge into. that there may not be room for others WIDOWER. Still Amother View. DAKOTA CITY, Neb, Oct. 18~To_the Bditor of The Bee: I have read the artl- cles which appeared in The Sunday Bee, under different headiines, citing the wrongs and ills of the sexes In their social and marital relations and it sounds very much like children at play, discussing which is right and which is wrong. Before makihg any remarks I would thank Edward Black for his defense of womankind and | assure Mrs. Edwards we need not fear for the future generation, or the women of this day, so lopg as they malntain the, . There are a few salfish, ‘women, but they are not the rule—and there are men and men. I think it has conceded that the stronger haif of y, is amenable to the snd homage of men. In marked contrast to her is the inspired Joan of Are, who THE OMAHA DAILY BEE S s et MIMIC WAR AT FORT RILEY [NCOME FIXES THE - VALUE Mis class. But he must not forget the woman at home, who must cook, sweep. dust, bake and sew from “morn il bed.” She needs his love and praise, just as he needs a sweet consoler and a darner of socks. é It is safe to assume that much of tha trouble arises from little misunderstand- ings. A woman may understand a man, but he seldom, if ever, understands her. This arises from natural causes. Jer nature is #0 complex he never knows where to make the point of attack, or where to effect & reconciliation. Of one thing he may feel sure and that is her love for a bit of senti- ment or romance. John could tell Mary after years of wedded lifo that he loved her, and the old, old story would still seem new. The women of today are self-sacrificing and reliant, with a_good lot of common- sense. With this combination they are able to work out thelr own salvation, but will not become so absorbed in self that' they are indifferent to the plaintg of men. (MRS.) JENNIE ROSS.

The worth of men and women is ostimated by their worldly possessions, and not by what they are. We agree with & preminent minister in Buffalo, N. Y., wi sald: “Such marriages were a sin and the outgrowth of many secial evila.” However, not all marriages come under this head, for in the commoner walks of life more true marriages are made.

TWELVE THOUSAND MEN ARE ENGAGED Largest Number of Troops Ever Called Together in the United States Play at War is Now Mobil- ized in Kansas. The plans for the forfhcoming army maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan., are now complete and the troops to participate therein have either arrived at Fort Riley or are enroute there. The maneuvers began yesterday, and will continue ten or more days; possibly to November 1. It was at first intended that about 16,000 troops, reg- ular and Natfonal Guard, would be mobi- lized there, but owing to seyeral of the reg- ular army regiments being ordered to the Philippines, and the fallure of some of the adjacent states to furnish thelr quota of National Guard, such as Colorado and Ar- kansas, the actual number of troops par- ticipating will be about 12,000. The regular troops taking part are: Twelfth Infantry, Fort Douglas, Utah; Fourteenth cavalry, Fort Logar, oo Fourth iufantsy, Fort D. A.

It was also expected that Arkansas and Colorado would furnish a regiment of In- fantry each, but in the case of the latter state the strike trouble in the Cripple Creek district has necessitated the presence of the Colorado regiment there. Arkansas flunked at the last moment.

It was found as & result of last'year's maneuvers that for the maneuvering of large bodies of men in the working out of tacticial operations the present reservation, though comprising 20,00 acres, s inade- quate, Hence the War department has succeeded in obtalning the written comsent of about 150 land owners adjoining the res- ervation, whose aggregate holdings amount to seventy square miles, or 44,329 acres, to the military authorities entering upon and occupying their holdings whenever it may become necessary in the prosecution of the maneuvers this year. Orders bave been issued requiring that every care be taken to prevent the fright- ening of live stock either running loose or on the roads, and that proper compensation shall be made the owners of such stock, and whatever property may be damaged by the maneuvers by the government. A board of officers has been appoinied for this spe- clal purpose and these officers will be on duty at all times during the maneuvers, and will be distinguished by a white cloth about six inches in length suspended just below and from the sword belt. All com- plaints fer damages should ba made to these officlals. Every precaution will also be taken to prebent the destruction of fences, and where it may be necessary to remove such fenées temporarily & detall of two ploneers from each company, provided with proper tools, will immediately repair and restore such fences. Orders have also been issued strictly prohibiting foraging or in any maenner interfering with the rights and property of citizens, and any infrac- tions of these orders will be promptly and severely dealt with. The maneuvers will be carried on on both sides of the Kansas and Repullican rivers, both of which, in addition to the regular bridges, have been provided with pomtoon bridges and pontooniers for active field op- erations. The evolutions will be on the most extensive scale ever undertaken iIn the United States and will be witnessed by numerous forelgn military attaches, as well a3 by many thousands of citizens. \ At the meeting of the Omaha Real Estate exchange on Wednesday W. H. Thom spoke on “The Value of Real Estate.” his remarks he sald: Economic rent measures the superfority of any location over the est _location within A city. A prominent authority based the normal values per fromt foot 100,000 population in the In the consideration that each thousand of population adds from $12 to $16 to the front foot value of the best locations. We are inclined to accept this rule as applylng favorably to the cei- trally located retail property of the city of Omaha, but If we accept the proposition that choice residence property in_cities of 100,00 population is worth from §76 to per front foot, we find that first-class resi- dence lots in Omaha are very much under the average. A partial explanation for this may be found in the fact that Omaha con- taife o larpe ares of ground convenient and desirable for residence vu?om The homes of the wealthier class of our people have been fairly well distributed over a considerable portion of the residence seo- tion of the city, thus retarding the growth of a fashionable center. The present ten- dency towards the centralization of the wealthier class of our citizens in the West Farnam street district is increasing the value of lots in that locality, as the in- crease residence values comes from larger indlvidual fortunes and more of them centrally located.

The fact that a house and lot have just sold for a given price 1s certainly good evidence of value, but before determining the value of similar property on the same street we must inquire into the conditions under which the sale was effected.

The little feliow escaped with slight injuries, but had ~his feelings severely hurt and several spectators, who were very much concerned for the safety of the boy while he was mixed up with the auto, appeared In court and testified that to all appearances and In thelr judgment Mr. Fredrickson was driving faster than the public safety warranted. In his argument for the city Prosecutor Lee drew a strong comparison as between an automoblle and an axe, holding that it was just as reasonable for the court to presume that the boy had been assaulted a8 If an axe had been used. Mr, Fredrickson was represented by at- torney, but was not put on the stand to testify. The court evidently lald much stress on the axe theory and fined Mr. Fredrickson. / COLEMAN IS FOUND GUILTY Colored Man Convieted in Distriet Court of Attempted Criminal Assault, The jury in the case of the State of Ne- braska against Frank Coleman, colored, who was charged with criminal assault on Freda Witte, after belng out just one min- ute, returned a verdict of gulity in Judge Estelle's ceurt. Coleman was charged With having crim- inally assaulted Freda Witte & domestic in the family of John ‘W. Robblps, on July 1. He sald that it was a case of mis- laken identity. In her testimony Miss Witte sald that she was awakened one morning to find that Coleman was in her room. In the struggle which followed, Coleman's ef- forts to accomplish his purpose were baf- fled. Miss Witte said that she scratched Coleman's face. While testifying Coleman said that the marks on his face were due to poor work on the part of a barber at a time when he was afilicted with barber's itch. Testimony was Introduced, however, which proved that Coleman had got & shave within an hour after his, struggle ‘with Miss Witte. At the time of his arrest Coleman was fearfully scared and implored the officers to protect him from angry ciusens.
