Everywhere may be seen signs of growth and improvement. New | business blocks, new enterprises, new homes, new churches, and the promise of new schools, all afford the most convineing proof that the city really is forging ahead in its material pros- perity. The other side shows less of the bitter contention that has sometimes marred the prog- ress of the past, and more of an inclination to pull together in ml‘nu of public concern. Another very gratifying fact is that the sup- port of the sfate is being given to Omaha in a measure never before noted. Civie pride is de- | veloping among the people of Nebraska, and its influence on the future of the state and its metropolis can only be a factor for good. The substantial growth of the city in all desirable ways is made more certain by the present dispo- sition of the publie to boost. Our Country, and Others, A magazine writer, descanting on the fallure of the Turkish empire, notes the fact that no nation succeeds in effacing the points of differ- ence between itself and a conquered nation. Forcible amalgamation of peoples is not & suc- cess. Mighty empires have filled many pages of history’s record, only to disappear because there was no homogeneity among their compo- nents. Force held them together, but could not obliterate the differences in speech, religion, manners and other evidences of national inde- pendence. The lack of common purpose, com- mon aspirations, common destiny remained, an inherent and intrinsic weakness, and when the hour struck the central authority, weakened by its extension falled and empire fell to pleces, It has remained for a new people, made up from the old, to put into effect a new idea in the matter of government, that.of consent of the governed. In their complaint against the king ‘of England the colonists proclaimed their bellef that “whenever any form of government be- comes destructive of these ends,” that is, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happinegs,” “it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it and to institute a new government” which will secure the ends for which governments are maintained. In the United States this idea of popular govern- ment has found the highest exemplification known. It has not as yet attained the perfec- tion it may, but it has afforded as no other ever did an opportunity for the expansion and devel- opment of the individual in the fullest enjoy- ment of all his rights, natural or otherwise. Under this government has been accom- plished the end at which all empire builders almed, the welding together of peoples of all nations, tongues, religions and racial habits into something of complete amalgamation. This is possible, simply because here the man is free, and is a responsible and responsive element’in the government itself. Minor differences lose themselves in the “melting pot,” and the Amer- ican ls the stronger just because he is a cofm- posite of Wnufl the other nations in E—— Cost of Assessment in Nebraska.- Figures reported from the several counties indicate that the précess of finding out the value of taxable property in the state is a costly one. With nine counties missing from the re- turns, the total expense of making the last as- sessment is $190,715, a goodly sum indeed. The figures given are totals only, and not sufficient in detail to give basis for a careful analysis, but they are enough to suggest that a definite study be made of the toplc. Nebraska's revenue laws have been gone over several times in late years, but have ngver been adjusted to a polnt of sclentific efficlency. Our present system of as- sessment is cumbersome, and {n many ways not satisfactory. The precinct system espedially is open to objection on the score of expense and lnck of efficiency. County treasurers and other tax officers, who are familiar with the orudities of the present system might perform a notable service by suggesting remedies and devising methods that will better the operation of levy- ing and oollecting taxes, — Dancing in the Public Parks. One move by the newly created recreation board that will very likely meet with public ap- proval is that which will permit dancing in the parks, While only one of the parks is at first 10 be s0 used, the practice will certainly extend to the others in good season. Young folks will dance, and older ones, too, and the purpose of parks as places for relaxation and enjoyment properly includes dancing, so long as it is under competent supervision, The recreation board should not be too insistent on making the danc- ing pavilion self-sustaining, for, while there is no real objection to the city competing with the up-town dance halls dancing in the parks should be kept as nearly as possible on the basis of other attractions, free to everybody. In this way objections that might otherwise carry weight will be avoided, and the amusements at the parks will be maintained in harmony with the spirit of the institutions and the functions of the recreation board. S— A revolutionary son of war-vexed Ireland led a party of kindred spirits to the foot of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor and there as the morning sun gilded the Jersey hills, with uncovered heads and right hands upraised, fore- swore alleglance to Great Britaln and proclaimed the Irish republic, The impressive incident has not perceptibly changed the situation of Ireland, Movies ~od the Eyes Literary Digest. ¥ YOUR EYBS are strong ang normal, looking at moving plctures will do them no harm; if they are weak, you had better stay away. This would appear to be the general comclusion of a symposium on the subject, gathered gnd printed by The Medical Times (New York, July). The first writer, Dr. J. Norman Risley of Philadelphia, notes that the elements Itkely to be the source of irritation to the delicate structures of the eyes are “flickering,” ar vibration, and in- accurate and variable focusing of the pictures, also the relation the light reflected from the screen bears to the visual plane of the observer. To a normal spectator the undue effort required to main- taln distinct vision under these circumstances often produces discomfort, but this subsides and no perma- nent Injury results. Where the refractive powers of the eye are defective—a condition more common than the normal one—eye-straln, with Its accompanying disorders, will probabiy follow. “It seems to me," says Dr. Risley, “that the mo- tion-pleture exhibition in its effect upon the eyes can be classified only as an additional Irritation and stimulation to the numerous others characteristic of the tense and active neurotic life of the period. It is, @s a rule, only those individuals with uncorrected op- tical defects, or pathological organic changes, who experience discomfort or injury from the irritating features of the motion-picture, which then are only the exciting factor in the crisis resulting from a long- standing predisposing cause. The Influences of the motion picture often work for the Individual welfare since, in many instances, the existence of an optical defect Is unkmown until subjected to strain in view- ing these projected Images. The Irritating features are possible of elimination by a more accurate mech. anism regulating the relation between the condensing and projecting lenses, more care In the selection of the glass used and In the grinding of the lenses, and a sclentific understanding of optical principles by those who are responsible for the placing and operating of the projecting machines. The most Irritating feature to the eyes fa the exposure to the direct reflected rays, and this condition should be remedied. As municipal regulation forbids the placing of a stationary struc. ture in a public auditorium In a situation where it may Interfere with the rapid- exit when emergency arises, it prevents the Installation of the picture-in- struments at a point from which it is possible to pro- Ject the pictures to the screen on a horizontal plane. “Would it not, however, be possible to locats the projecting machines Iin the basement at a central point to the rear of the audience, and have an open avenue in the floor through which the plctures could be projected to the screen on an ascending plane of sufficlent degree to reflect the rays above the visual line of the audience, and thus remove a most irritat. ing feature of an otherwise pleasing and interesting diversion?’ That any ome with thoroughly sound eyes, not ‘weary before entering the theater, can’ watch the movies from an hour to an hour and a half without discomtort 1s the opinion of Dr. J. Herbert Claiborne of New York, another contributor to the symposium Others he advises to avold the movies until the troubls is corrected. Says Dr. Claiborne, in addition: “The movies have come to us to stay, and 1 con- sider them a source of interesting, instructive, and in- nocent gmusement, economical to the last degree. Moving pictures are the only good things I know of in this world that every one likes that cost little and give great pleasure. This is what men have been looking for for all time, and T think they have found it ut last; but the most important feature of the movies, und we are gradually coming to recognize it, Is the educa- tional one, It is to be hoped that in the future many, i not all, of the historical events of this country wili be presented, without prejudice, for the instruction partioularly of children and lkewise of all of us.” Some objectionable features of moving pictures from the visual standpoint, are cataloged by Dr. Seth Bcott Biehop of Chicago, who writes: m to the manner in which ‘upon the screen is the pres- them, of innumerable glimmering, and dancing bright spots that try the eyes. But thess do not characterize the best class of plc. shows that they can be eliminated. “Another feature which puts a severe test upon unnatural swiftness with which the reeled off, making every action abnormally Jerky, converting the actors' walk into a inese trot, and giving all the participators a sort of St. Vitus's dance, “But the common practice of flashing written let- ters and printed meiter on and off the screen with almost lightning celerity puta the greatest strala of all upon the eyes. The audience, in its eagerness to get an intelligent understanding of the action, makes a strong effort to read the lines, but they are given no opportunity to read all of them in many Instances, and are kept on a strain in the strenuous effort to grasp them at a fleeting glance. “Another effect of watching moving pictures, worth ‘mentioning in this connection although it is not in. Jurious to the eyes, is a pronounced hypnotic exper- fence that many people have, particularly when the performance iy prolonged to more than one or two hours and is not of & very exciting nature. The drow- siness that comes over some of the audience s so complete as to induce a loss of consciousness in sleep for short perfods of time In spite of every effort to keep awake, even in well-ventilated theaters. This s comparable to the effect of gaszing fixealy at & bright object, which is employed by hypnotists to tire the muscles of the eyes untii a hypnotic state ‘e brought on." Finally, Dr. Dunbar Roy of Atlanta, Ga., warns moving picture “fans” that most persons ‘‘naturally have weak eyes"—that is, eyes which water easlly, become red at & moment's notice, and probably have uncorrected errors of refraction. Such persons are not the ones who ought to visit the movies frequently. By him we are told: “Retinal irritation and retinal fatigue are certainly symptoms produced on a great many people who watch these films. The exercise of the retina might be com- pared to rapid contraction of the muscles in exerclse Long-continued and rapid contractions will soon leas to fatigue. There are a great many men who can emoke six or elght cigars a day without any injurious effect upon their physical conmstitution, and yet we know others who will be highly affected by the smok- ing of one cigar. This principle holds true in the ef- fect of moving plotures upon the eye. When a person realises that his or her eyes are fatigued, burn, be- come red, water easily, ache, and possibly have a dull fromtal beadache after watching a moving me- ture performance, it is rather indicative that to these people such amusements are injurious to the eyes. We must, however, take into consideration the presence of a vitiated atmosphere which s also productive of fatigue-symptoms. If my advice were asked I should say, ‘study well your own eye-symptoms before and after witnessing & moving picture performance and your own symptoms will tell you whether or not the same is Injurious to your eves.' Personal and Otherwise George D. McCreary, Penaylvania congressman for ten years, died in Philadelphia on Thursday. He was @ years old. Sir Robert L. Borden, premier uf Canada, has gone London to confer with French The Pees effer Ienorance Knocks Motoreyeles. OMAHA, Aug. 1.-To the Editor of The Eee: We belleve that the omly cause for people printing or making such state- ments as appeared in the papers recently concerning ‘‘motorcycles leading to the ruin of girls,” ts ignorance on the part of the people making the assertion. Cer- tainly no one who has driven out into the country north, south, east or west, at late hours of night would possibly make the assertion that motorcycles tended to the ruination of more girls than automobliles do. Anyone who thinks so would need only to take one night's trip into the extreme North Sixteenth street, West Dodge street, West Center toward Millard, or In fact out any country road to find 100 young girls automobiling to or from the city accompanied by a bunch of “viclous men or boys,” where they would see one girl riding on a motor- eycle. It is preposterous in itself to blame the vehicie of tramsportation for immorality of the occupants. We take exception to the fact that boys or men who ride motorcycles are more viclous or unmanly than other men. Or that girle who ride motorcycles are more susceptible to immorality. At any rate it is not the fault of the motoreycle if such should be the case, and if there were no motorcycles, the world would be & poorer place to live instead of & better. We only ask that the public give the motorcycle and the motoreyclist a fair deal, which Is more than it has yet done. BAM F. BOARD. W. E. DEWEY. Look! You May Have Revolutionary Ancestry. OMAHA, Aug. 1.—~To the Bditor of The Bee: The journey of the Liberty BDell across our continent has stirred up the patriotic feelings of our citizens, more especlally those havinz revolutionary nn- cestors, as nothing else in recent years. The interesting spectacle of thousands at Omaha hastening to welcome the old relic, and the many letters received by our newspapers from citizens regarding their ancestors who fought in the reve- lution and helped make the republic, have been very gratifying to the patri- otic socleties of Nebraska. We feel this to be a favorable oppor- tunity to offer assistance to those de- siring data regarding their ancestors, and the perfecting of their family récords, The Omaha Public library has furnished & separate room which contains many ~valuable volumes of genealogy, state reo- ords, family records and lists of soldiers and sallors who fought in the revolu- tionary war, compiled by the adjutant generals of the colonial states. In this room may also be found indexes to Amer- ican pedigrees and genealogical indexes. The patriotic socleties find these records very valuable in perfecting the genealo- &les of applicants for admission to their several socleties. The secretary of the Sons of the Amer- jcan Revolution will gladly furnish in- formation and assistance to those com- plling their genealogies, especially con- cerning the eariler military records, and how to consult them. The secretary will also furnish appll- cation papers for admission to the Ne- bragka soclety to all worthy citigsens having ancestors who fought in the revo- lutionary war, or had duties along other patriotie lines. EDWIN O. HALSTED, Secretary, P. O. Box 4%, Against Social Vengeanee. OMAHA, August 1.—To the BEditor of The Bee: Charles Becker, ex-police lleutenant of New York City, has paid the penalty decreed by soclety for the crime of murder, Now that Becker has atoned by the hands of the collectivity, I ask what satisfaction do we get except that of vengeance? A brute's desire. Charles Becker In tasting death suffered no pein, because it was painless, but Mre. Charles Becker will live an eternal death and his brothers will bear the stigma of his sup- posed crime placed there by society until death relleves them. Soclety has murd- ered this man and therefore has com- pounded murder. Society violates the laws of God and of decency and commits just as great a corime as Becker, when it takes a human life. I feel very deeply this crime com- mitted by soclety a member of which I Am ashamed to confess to. I sympathize very deeply with Mrs. Becker and with Mr. Becker's brothers. I also feel very sorry for Governor Whitman for being acessory to the murder of Beoker. “For- sive these people Oh Lord for they know not what they do.” JESSE T. BRILLHART, 2618 Parnam Street. International Fermation of Words. TILDEN, Neb., July 3L—To the Editor of The Bee: In the International lan- guage, Esperanto, there is a perfect dis- memberment of ideas into independent words with the roots, affixes as well as the grammatical terminations, 8o that all these have distinct meanings and are unchangeable words; that any one of them can be looked up in the dlctionary and thus analyze the word-combination Take for example the word “fratino,” which in reality haa three thoughts, frat, in, o. Frat, is the idea of offspring, in, the female, and o, existence, person or thing (noun). These three combined make “fratino,” sister. The first and the last, “frato,’ brother; “fratineto,” little sie- ter (et, is a diminutive suffix, eg, aug- mentative), then “fratego,” big brother; while “gefrataro” would be “‘association of brothers and sisters,” (ge, & prefix which signffies both sexes as “ladlies and gentlemen,” ‘“‘gesinjoro] and the addi- tional suffix, ar, signifies a group). See- ing the word “kateto” the student would at once divide the thoughts, kat-et-o, and knowing, or looking up o, find it & noun, et, a diminutive suffix modify- ! ing the root, and kat—the root is cat, therefore, a little cat. Bvery root, suffix, affix, or grammat- ical ending is unchangeable, and is found arbitrary grammatical forms do not ob- scure the words. CHARLES P. LANG. Demacratic Politieal Conundrum. WARNERVILLE, Neb, July 8.-To the Editor of The Bee: Those of ue i i O il commissioners all from the First con gressional distriet, the other five die tricts being ignored. In the recent shak- ing of the political bhsh two plums tell to Senator Hiteheock in the appoint- | ment of United ©tates marshal and col- lector of the port of Omaha; both of Omaha. The appointment of United States district attorney and collector of internal revenue fell to Mr. Bryan. The first is purely personal, while the sec- ond, doubtless, 1s in ald of Mr. Bryan's candidacy. Just how Governor More- head can expect to strengthen himself in the state by centralizing all his ap- pointments in the First congressional dis- trict is difficult for the average citizen to understand. Just why Senator Hitch- cock should take two men from Omaha is equally difficult to understand, unless in doing &0 he is endeavoring to placate certain interests. Many farmers in this community, who | think The Bee has been derelict in explaining the situation would like to know exactly what support Messers. Hitchcock, Morehead and Bryan are con- testing for. F. A. WARNER. It Stirs & Clyil War Veteran, BOONVILLE, Neb, July $~To the Editor of The Bee: Thinking you may not have seen the full text of the address of the president of the ‘“German-American Alliance” of this state. I enclose clipping trom the Utica Dally Press, which gives it in full, also a rejoinder from the Hon. Merwin K. Hart of Utlea which I wish could be read by every loyal American To an old soldler who served his coun- try from '61 to '65; the resolution adopted, and addresces made at Utica by members of sald alliance, is a remainder of “the fire in the rear” delivered by the copper- heads throughout our civi] war JOHN R. MANCHESTER l_Editoria,l Shrapnel Philadelphia Ledger: Tt ia doubtless a stroke of “‘amazing genius,” as military eoritics point out, for the Grand Duke Nicholas to conduct a retreat with his armies intact; but this is a dublous con- #olation for the fallure to win battles and drive back the invader. New York World: Four thousand five hundred students have so far registered for the mer session at Columbia uni- versity, against 3,600 for a similar pe- riod last year.

Baltimore American: The queen of Bweden desired her sympathies in the war to be announced to the whole world. They were announced, as directed, and the whole world went on turning on its axis without an extra tremor. This war Is going to make a great deal of differ- ence In the estimation of royalties as supermen and women. Indianapolls News: Premier Asquith's plea for thrift throughout the country te meet the expenses of the war may start something, but it is doubtful. Of course, if everybody In Great Britain were to save a shilling a day for this purpose the $16,00000 dally war expense would come pretty nearly being met; but there are a whole lot of people thers whe wouldn’t do anything of the kind and even more who couldn't. Boston Transcript: The attitude of the British government Is strikingly sug- @estive of indifference to the United Btates concealed under the terms of diplomatic courtesy. It is also suggestive of the belief of British statesmen that American opinion is so strongly in favor of the allies that they need expect noth- ing more than purely formal remon- strances, considerations of which they can defer until peace comes. Whatever the British belief, the duty of our gov- ernment is the same, nor need it depart from its neutrality in doing it. Protesting vigorously in behalf of the principle its protests will be directed allke to all belligerents.
