Details coming in from the towns of Texas that bore the brunt of the hurricane that swept the gulf coast on Monday night do not lessen terror inspired by the first reports. ILoss of lite has been less, for the reason that warn- ings had been given in ample time, and people poon sought such shelter as was avaflable, but the damage to property is extensive, and the full extent is not yet known. The old experi- ence of the sparrow that built its nest in the spout is recalled by this tragic episode. No place in the world is immune from the mastery of the uncontrollable forces of nature. Hur- ricanes periodically sweep the Gulf of Mexico, laying waste the coastal country for may miles, and man returns, as soon as the storm subsides, to remew his habitation and his works, This process has been golng on during uncounted centuries, and will continue. The storm has no lesson for man, who dares mature in every clime, and is not discouraged when baffled by the manifestation of power he does not comprehend. This is the strife through which he has attained to his eminence In crea- tion, and out of which will come his greater triumph. Paste This in Your Hat. The tax levy just made for next year Is with- in a fraction of 100 mills on the dollar of as- sessed valuation of all taxable property in Omaha, which, at the one-fifth valuation, means two per cent of the full appraisement, and is the top-notch record for taxes in all the history of this city. In this connection let the property owner ponder carefully the following, and paste it in his hat for future reference when the tax bills come due: 1. The school tax of 25 mills is the maxi- mum permitted by law. Tt calls for at least $100,000 more than needs to be collected by taxes. The budget on which it is based ignores $26,000 of assured revenue from other sources, and includes $25,000 for school buildings for { which $1,000,000 of bonds have already been voted, to say nothing of numerous other items which could be readily dispensed with. 2. The Water board has insisted upon a tax levy to produce $148,000, presumably to pay for liydrant rental and fire protection, while it is boasting of the surplus it is piling up. . The Wa- tor board could have gotten along without any water fund tax whatever, and has no justifica- tion for increasing its $100,000 tax by 50 per cent. 3. The city council has exacted the maxi- mum rate for every division of the municipal government. Under the law permitting a spe- cial levy of “not to exceed one and one-half mills"” for new equipment for the fire depart- ment, it has demanded the full one and one- half mills,. Under the law providing for a bond redemption fund of “not less than $50,000 nor more than $160,000,” it is demanding the full amount of $160,000. For the library fund, whose Hmit was raised from $30,000 to $50,000, the maximum has been levied, being an increase ©* 66 per cent. The council has provided for the entire budget by a tax levy without refer- ence to increases in revenues from other sources, {'namely, the road fund apportfonment, interest earnings, permit and inspection fees, occupation taxes, subway taxes, etc, aggregating over $200,000. The city tax levy could easily have heen hold down $260,000, 4. The combined tax rate on Omaha property is easily 10 mills, or 10 per cent higher than the real requirements. Se—— The Lawyer and the Lady. The American Bar assoclation is facing a problem of conduct that is not going to be set~ tled according to precedent. It is the question of the admission of women to membership in the association, and can not be decided on pre- cedent. “It never has been done,” say the men who are on the inside, and the ladles, who are on the outside answer it will yet be done. The American Bar assoclation is one of the great or- ganizations of the country into which no men- ber of the fair sex has yet penetrated as a fel- low in good standing. Slowly but surely woman broke down the bars that kept her out of the learned professions, she vaulted lightly over the Cbstacles that might have stopped the way to comployment at the skilled trades, she has evinced her activity by taking up and practicing every art or ealling to which human energy or intellect is devoted. She does practice law at the bar and before the bench, and she is insistent in her assault upon the citadel that yet with- stands her. The lawyers might as well make up their minds to take their medicine, for they'll got no rest until they do, and may get none thereafter. Sm—— One Unanswerable Argument. Much of debate, academic, polemic, tech- nical, sentimental, idle and otherwise, has been engendered by the war, and the end is not yet. ‘The Teutonic allies, however, have one argu- wment that has so far proven irresistible, It has been presented on several occasions, and as yet none has arisen to completely answer it. It has been met by all the opposition the Triple Entente has been able to summon against it, but has 80 far proved triumphant whenever appealed to, Bo-called ‘‘impregnable” fortresses have gone down lnto dust before it, and cities that have never heard it have answered its appeal. The 42-centimeter gun urges its case with such impetuous ardor that ft is beyond with- #landing.

Switehing a few millions from one potket to Tropical Hurricanes ' New York Tribune. The most terfible tempests known to man are thos~ which develop in greater or less abundance near the equator immediately after the hottest season of the year. Those with which Amerfcans are most familiar generally occur In August, September or October, and make their first appearance in or near the West Indies, At this perfod the trade winds have caused an accumulation of hot surface water at the western limit of the ocean in low latitudes, and out of this steaming caldron, whose temperature ranges from % to % de- grees, are generated storms like that which has just almost annihilated Galveston. These hurricanes show a disposition to follow a cer tain typical track. At first their movement is nearly westward, under the influence of the trade winds, but they seek to push rorthward, and, having dome so, they are caught by the great eastward apper current of atmosphers and turned in almost the opposite direc- tion. The curve described is a gentle one, and Js sharpest in about latitude 25 or 30 degrees. Sometimes the storm continues on its westward way until it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, but more orten it “re- curves” 0 as to follow the Atlantic coast from Florida to Hatteras. Thence, as a rule, it swings away toward northern Burope, following the gulf stream very closely. In exceptional cases these tropical hurricanes are diverted to the left hand sufficlently to be felt seri- ously on the New Jersey and Long Island coasts. Sometimes the center keeps just Inside the coast line Again, the recurvature may occur %0 far to the east- ward that the Bermudas suffer and the United States is entirely exempt. What was known as the “Nova Scotla cyclone,” and what Greely described as the most destructive storm of this type known to America, occurred in 187, and did practically no damage on land, but it destroyed no less than 1,223 vessels of dif- ferent kinds and caused the deaths of 600 people. The chief characteristic of tropical hurricanes is their high wing velocity. No storm of temperate lati- tudes ever develops such appalling fury. There a fow places in the interfor of the United states whero the wind ever blows more than forty or fifty miles an hour; but in a West Indian cyclone velocities of eighty, ninety and 100 miles are not uncommon, and in 1897, at Cape Lookout, N, C. the anemometer registered 138! At sea this means the destruction of small ves- sels and often proves fatal to large ones; on land it means the demolition of weak edifices and damage to crops; and where the contour of the shore favors such an operation continued gales of exceptional force bank up the sea five, ten and even fifteen feet higher than usual. During the early stages of their history tropical cyclones rarely advance more than eight or ten miles an hour. At that time their diameter ts small, gen- erally between 100 and 200 miles. After reaching higher latitudes and recurving they expand somewhat and their progress is more rapid. Bight full days elapsed after the recent hurricane was detected to the south of Porto Rico before Galveston felt it. Another pe- cullarity of this class of disturbances is the remark- able fall in the barometer that accompanies them. From the outside to the center “eye of the storm' the distance may not be more than fifty miles, and yet the barometer may fall during the passage of the hurricane over a given spot from the vicinity of % inches to 2.6, Greely mentions a case In which the barometer at Guadaloupe fell from 20.6 to 2.9 in seventy minutes. Much lower readings than this have been abserved, however. Few atorms of temperato latitudes ever affect the barometer to a greater extent than half an Inch, and even this change is far more gradual than with a hurricane, owing to the much groater breadth of northern depressions. Torrents of Taln, often amounting to three or four inches a day, and sometimes even more, usually fall while a tropical storm is prevailing. A West Indlan hurricane is circular In 1orm. Hence Piddington applled to them the name ‘“cyclone,” de- rived from the same root as that found in “bi-cycle.” Somo flerce discussion have been conducted over the direction of the wina with referénce to the center. Plddington and Redfield thought the wind blew In cir- cles around the latter. ' Bapey held that it almed straight for the center. The truth lies between the two suppositions. The air moves in an Inward spiral, and its course forms a considerable angle, with a tan- went to the circle. Ellot, who has carefully studied the storms of the Indian ocean, and Toynbee of the British naval service have made very careful computations of this angle. The typhoon of the orlent fs an own sister of the West Indlan cyclone. It is generated tn fow latitudes, late in the summer or early in the autumn, st the Wwestern edge of the Pacific, not far from the Philip- pines. It begine its career by moving westward, but in time returns to the coast of China and Japan, Storms of predisely the same character develop in the North Indian ocean and assail the eastern coast of Hindostan, often advancing up the Bay of Bengal to Calcutta. The southern hemisphere also has such dis turbances. They are rare or unknown in the South Atlantie, but are common in the South Indian ccean and South Pacifie. Their course is at first w stward, but in recurving to higher latitudes they swing around to the southeast, not the northeast. Again, in that part of the world it Is summer when this country is having winter. Hence tropical hurricanes there are most numerous in February and March, Twice Told Tales The Little Angel. “I was visiting my married siste: week," relates Buck Hawes, P .M‘;:: while I am fairly a wlum'hnlnhllynn.! rather dismayed, therefore, when my sster pnwo::: ith the child one afternoon.

One of Australia’'s best landscape painters was out with his bag of tricks near Daylesford recently. Ho had pitched in front of an old two-roomed, wattle-and dab hut, softened with a erimson-flowered creeper, which he thought would make an excellent sketch. While he was working a tall, hairy man came out of the hut and regarded him with some misgiving. The hut dweller “Watcher doin', mister? he asked. “I'm painting your plcturesque dwelling," Petterson.

OMAHA, Aug. 18~To the Editor of The Bee: 1 notice In your soclety column a statement that a young Omaha man has lately ‘“‘graduated from the American Institute of Architects, carrying off the highest honors of the institute.” This is doubtless some one’s mistake for the ‘‘Massachusetts Institute of Technology,” which is quite a different thing—but the very mistake suggests a grave lack of information regarding one of our most important of national or- ganizations. The American Institute of Architects Is not “‘graduated from,” it is not a college nor a university. It is & body of leading practicing architects of America, an association for the advance- ment of good architecture in this coun- try, and which has among its many presidents the most distinguished names that ever adorned the American profes- slon—including the late Charles F. Me- Kirh, to whom more than any other the country is Indebted for splendid examples of architectural art. The institute corresponds somewhat to the famous Institut de France, which, of course, is not an educational institution, but an assembly of the learned and gifted men of that country. Many ‘“technology boys” indeed have Joined the institute, after having arrived at that stage of their professional career which qualifies them to apply for en- trance, e young man in question will doubt- less be surprised when he hears of his remarkable, mnot to say Impossible, achievement. T. B C H Behind the Near Side Stopping. OMAHA, Aug. 19.~To the Editor of The Bee. As a matter of Information we should appreciate it greatly if you will tell us why the street car company has been ordered by the ‘“‘powers that be” to stop on the near side of the street, after people voted some time ago to have the cars stop on the far side, as they have been doing for years past. A O C. Note by Editor—The near side ordinance was promoted chiefly by the auto owners, who are convinced it makes for safety for autos rounding corners. Heres' n Weather Prophet. NORTH LOUP, Neb., Aug. 17.—-To the Editor of The Bee: With the exceptions of frost and hall, the corn crop in Ne- braska in 1915 should be a bumper. A couple of weeks of dry weather in July gave it a magnificent start. In this part of the state we have had no rain since August 2, and this dry weather is the making of corn. The last week of July was so wet that small grain suffered greatly because of not being cut. I have heard many people say that corn would be a fallure this year, but I have told them that July and August would change the prospects. Another ten days will see plenty of roasting ears in the flelds, If the weather continues dry, the chances are for the best corn in many years. The race is not always to the swift. Drouth is what we most need. From August 17 to 25 will be a perfod in which hall may do more damage. This perfod may not bring an abundance of rain. About September 13 to 20 will he the most apt to frost. If the weather re- mains dry, frost will most likely be de- layed until most corn passes the danger period. T have not made a chart cover- ing magnoetie Influences for that period, but the principal changes would indicate such. WALTER JOHNSON. Twentleth Ce; ry Barbariem, OMAHA, Aug. 18, the Editor of The Bee: “For south is south and north s north and never the twain shall meet.” Can some doctor or alienist give an an- alysis of the heart and blood of the southerner? Why are they so different from the people of the north? Why do they hold human life so cheaply? Hardly & day passes that one or more negroes are not lynched for some petty crime. Even In today's lssue of The Bee there is & telegram report of the lynching of four negroes—and not one of them com- mitted a murder. Fifty years have elapsed since the northern states saw fit to interfere with the affairs of the south and set the negro free. In these fifty years the south has not yet learned our civililzed ways. Dally outrages are committed that were characteristic of the dark ages and would do the blood- thirsty Cossack credit. Is it any wonder that Georgla was capable of this recent heinous crime? It is because I know the south so well that I was less shocked than oth to learn that a white man, still suffering from wounds, and whose gullt was not Justly proven, was lynched and his body later mutilated. The Georgians cared not for the opinion of thousands of others, whether he was innocent or his guilt in doubt. The Georglan usually “gets” his vietim legally or otherwise, by fair means or foul. And when the officials, who are appointed to enforce the laws, indorse lynching, as the mayor of Atlanta has done, how can the blame fall entirely upon the mob? Even the fair-minded Juror dare not decide as his heart dic- tates him for he s often reminded of the “Klu-Clux-Clan and the NightwRiders Can not we stop this twentieth century harbarism? It was possible to accom- plish a far greater feat fifty years ago, 80 why not now? . A. D, Imwmigration an Asset or Liability. TILDEN, Neb., Aug. 12.—To the Editor of The Bee: Kvery immigrant that lands upon American soil becomey an asset or & liabllity, for the Chinaman who re- tains the model of his “Celestia” in his ideals to the decree that his ashes must ke returned, should Charon get him ere his bag is filled, will never be an asset. But the decided immigrant who foreswears allegiance to his former realm and poten- tate, and pours his vitals into the gen- eral channels of American liberties, will never become a llability: for America is his land of promise, and he has left his Egypt behind. But the immigration of any people, no matter what their many virtues may be, who seek to set uwp miniature forms and socleties, patterned after their former kraals (which they have fled from) and now seek to concentrate into localities in order to develop the same conditions they fled from, domin- ste schools and other vital agencles of American liberties; presuming upon the enerousness of American hospitality, freedom of speech and press, to perpetu- ate peculiar that evi- e S ———— channels. But the unfortunates who thus incyst themselves, have really never ar- rived in America; for they are found in groups at the village postoffice, clan in busine and social affairs, bulld their own halls, ete. Eminent soclologists maintain that this is even the best means to permit such unworthies of true Ameri- can institutions to dispose of themselves, for not having enough vitality to get into the “American Weave,” thus keep them- selves in a leanto chamber. as an infirm member of this republic. But we pity the evolving generation from such “En- virons of Detention,” these poor children Are not taught to be Americans and neither are they real forelgners, very unhappily, hybrids, “habitants, without a country,” unless they leap the pal- isade that was to confine them and be Interwoven with the real American life. POLY GLOT. Have Charity for Georgia. EXETBR, Neb,, Aug. 19—To the Editor of The Bee: T regret to note a general disposition on the part of the newspapers to condemn the people of Georgia for the events culminating this week, in the Iynching of Leo M. Frank. A little char- ity ought to be exercised in this matter and a few points in history considered before a sweeping judgment is entered Massachusetts was settled in the seven- teenth century by the flower of Puritan blood; New York by sturdy Hollanders; Pennsylvania by the best blood of Fng- land and Germany, and into Virginla flowed some of the best (and worst) blood of old England. But how about Georgia? A well meaning, but impractical member of the English parliament, James Edward Oglethorpe, concelved the idea of reforming the criminal classes of Eng- land by transferring them to the new world and the colony of Georgia was the consequence. The first familles of that state are therefore the descendants of the slums and jalls of London, as those institutions existed in the first half of the eighteenth century. Why | Judge the descendants of these jallbirds and defectives by the same standard that you would the Puritan and the cavilier? The fault of the Frank lynch- ing is that of the well meaning but misguided Oglethorpe, but he has been dead so0 long that we can do nothing about it. W. J. WAITE. Lansing’s Note to Austria. OMAHA, Aug. 19.—-To the Editor of The Bee: One cannot but feel proud of Our secretary of state, who has so thoroughly answered the German and Austro-Hungarfan notes, Of all nations these have the least right to compiain. They mnot only furnished munitions to belligerents, but a petty German king furnished men as well, in our revolution- Ary war. Secretary Lansing has well replied, “Thou that sayest thou shalt not #teal, does thou steal? Men who have bearas in thelr own eyes should not try to pull motes out of others' eyes, They are apt to make a poor job of it. All that America hes to ®say to Austro-Hun. gary is Is “you're another.” But, crushing as Lansing’s argument is, it does not touch the ahstract question of the rigint of neutral nations to furnish arms and munitions to belligerents. If @ nation sincerely belleves in war, it has the right to furnish not only munitions and arms, but men and ships as well. If war is a good thing, do all you can to ald it; if it be an evil thing, do all you can to prevent it. A nation may sincerely become an ally, but it cannot aid both belligerents without hypoerisly. In the war now desolating Europe, we have absolutely no motive to sell arms and munitions but gain—gain by the daughters of men, the ruin of homes and the desolation of countries. Gain for whom? A few gordid corporations, who are willing to fatten on the misery of their fellow men and build their fortune on the ruin of nations. I am glad to kuow there are some corporations which have refused to redden their hands with innocent blood; all others shouldbe com- pelled to do 80 by an immediate embargo. Secretaty Lansing’s plea for the free sale and purchase of arms is a man of #traw. No nation should entrust its safety to arms and munitions manufactured by other nations. Suppose Germany and Austria had depended on forelgn supplies, Where would they be now? Russia relied on forelgn supplies and it Is Fétreating ‘before its enemies. Mngland has been long on the defensive for the same rea- sen.
