In the case of the gas company the concession embodies all of the demands that hiave been made on behalf of the consumers, and in the case of the electric lighting company, the charges are substantially the same as originally proposed by the so-called Dahlman ordinance, with some of its inequalities softened. The gas company further explains that it would supply &as at a still lower rate to the extent it might be relieved of its burdens of taxation, royalties and occupation fees, which it contends are ex- cdesive. | Whether these rate reductions are, or are not, all that some people may think the consum- ing public in Omaha entitled to, they are cer- tainly better than lawsuits in this, that they got us somewhere, and give us something tangi- ble, and heretofore all we have done iy to buy lawsuits.

Twenty Years' Progress, We are fortunate that we live in the United States Instead of In Purope, where this frightful war is belog waged.

The growth of the country in the next thirty years will probably not be as spectacular as during the last several decades. The great wealth of the country Is in land, in bulldings, In maochiery, in merchandise and in permanent agencles for the production of wealth and for service to the whole people. The Ameriean nation, in the last fifty years, has had such a marvelous growth that certain habits of waste and carelessness have grown up, We must in the future be more careful and conserve In every way the nat. ural revources of the country. We must make use of all by-produects in order to eare for what we have and thus preserve as much as possible for those who are to come after us. So the opportunity is here for those who have health, courage, persistence, patience, Ability, and, above all, & love for and a willingness to work, Always Room at the Top. The United States has many men in it who are leaders, who are seccessful and who began at the bottom of the ladder. You will recall the famous saying ascribed to Denlel Webster, “There is always room at the top.” Take the raliroad business, for example. Alfred H. Smith, president of the New York Central Railroad company, was formerly a foreman of construction. E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchison, Topeka & Banta Fe, began as a clerk in the office of the Penn- sylvania raliroad in Boston. Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Rallroad company, left school at 15 and began in the engineering department of that road.

SOUTH OMAHA, July 18~To the Edi- tor of The Bee: 1 think it's just a shame the way all those people are roasting poor Mr. Mickle. I think he Is real smart. Just think of him earning the living for elght people and doing the marketing also. That's the kind of a man to have. He would save a woman lots of work and worry—he really couldn't find fault with the meals if he planned them ‘himself—und, as for the tobacco, I wouldn't mind that either If he used £0od tobacoo. Then there is the meat question: That's all right, too. It's quite fashionable to be a vegetarian and sometimes it's quite | necessary, and, you know, “what you have never liad you never miss.” I am sure there are a great many girls who would appreciate a man who would | spend his time at home and his money on | tobaceo, True, he fsn't much of a wage | | oarner, but if he made more money, he | might spend it joy riding, and then his wife wouldn't even get a Whiff of ‘the gasolene, WORKING GIRL. Are Doctor's Bills the Alternative? OMAHA, July 16.—To the Bditor of The Dee: It is a shame that so many people ahould pick on A. B. Mickle In the way he has chosen to raise his family, for it ia far better that Mr. Mickle should raise a family in the way he is raising them and ‘be able to have them at home with him every night than to have them run- ning around the streets. He I8 perfectly right In not having them golng to mov- ing picture shows, rulning their eyes, and eating candy, ice cream and frosen dain- ties, which ruin their stomachs and break down their health. Of course this is just what the doctdrs are looking for, and If there were not half so many fool- ish people allowing thelr children to rufn their stomachs and thelr eyes and hav- ing to pay the biggest part of their sal- aries for doctor bills the doctors of today would starve to death. 1 pity the husband of “Indignant Wite,” for he probably has to stay at home and out the grass while she spends her time at bridge whist partles and does not know where her children are, what they 8ee or what they eat. It would be a safe bet that she spends more for medicine and for doctors In six months than Mr. Mickle has spent in this way in the last ten years. A man working hard should have the steak, for is he not the pro- vider? And the children do just as well without steak. Tt cannot be claimed that Mr. Mickle spends too muckt for tobacco when he spends 40 cents a week, and his children and wife certainly should enjoy the father and husband having this little recrestion after his hard day's work;-and that fs the time for a mood wife to sit down beside the table and do the sewing, and It is the way to bring up children mending the socks and stockings instead of having them running dround the streets, and later when they have grown up and not know how to do those little necessitics. If more of Mr. Mickle’s critics would follow his example the doctors, dentists and moving picture people ‘would ac- tually get out and do some work instead Of lving off thelr money. P, G, Don't Need Ment, Anyway. OMAHA, July 16.~To the Bditor of The Bee: How many people have attdcked A. B. Mickie! Mickle himself is the only one who can say whether justice is being done him. But there are some points which are obviously for the good of all. Meat is not needed for the system and one will agree that a vegetarian is health- fer than a meat eater. For nfny years 1 had rhieumatism and indigestion, but when my doctor advised me not to eat meat, I quit, and at once I noticed: improvement. Now, no meat ever enters my home (I am single), and my health and happiness Is much better. The women pick on poor Mickle becguse of his 40 cents for tobacco, Some men have smoked so much that to stop would be fatal. Their nerves crave tobaceo. Mickle must be the kind, or he would not keep 4 cents eaclt week for the polsonous weed. At any rate it must act as & stimulus to him. Nevertheless, how much better wopld it not be to spend that on a few pienics or such for his family, for it amounts to 331 a Year. These days when divorces are so easy to got, Mra. Mickle would get one unles§ she were satisfied, and If she §s satisfied Why need those who have dome so, rise up to protect her verbally, mot finan- clally, A VEGETARIAN. Mickle and His Pipe.
