Speeding Up for Good Roads, | Those most vitally interested in good roads leading in and ovt of Omahs——and every one is interested in greater or less degree—are in- augurating a new movement for road improve- tient which we will be glad to help along. The only questions involved that may be subject to debate are, On how large a scale shall the pro- gram of road improvement be laid out? And by what methods and machinery shail the work be executed ? It must be remembered that we have had good roads propaganda before, and that Douglas county once voted $160,000 in bonds to pay for permanent roadways with the unfortunate ex- perience that the taxpayers are doubtful ‘whether they got their money’'s worth. We have also been spending year after year close to $200,- 000 aanually on the construction and mainte- nance of roads and bridges in this county, and we ought to have something to show for it more than we have. It must be remembered too that it is foolish, as well as useless, to build perma- nent roadways unless we are ready to maintain v‘ them constantly In good condition. Properly lald out and kept up, a tem of | permanent roads radiating from Omaha can caslly be a profitable investment. The move- | ment, however, to make headway, will have to proceed along distinctly practical lines, The War in Fiotioh. It would seem that with the rising tide of war fiction we have entered the second stage of the influence of the war on literature, The first eruption of Kuropean war books resembled the outpouring of heavy artillery—it surfeited us with ponderous and serious discus- sions of the causes of the war, with dissertations on the art of war-making, inquiries into the othics and psychology of war, and personal nar- ratives of the experiences of marooned Amer- fcan tourists or of special correspondents hover- ing around the edges of the war zone. But now we have the beginunings of a different type of war literature—fiction with a war background of ruin and carnage and stories built about the military hero. The war fietion, having first found its way into the magazines, is becoming pretentious enough now to take on book form. The theme, to be sure, is still too serious to per- mit of light treatment, and the humor must be carefully guarded. But the threads of love and danger, of courage and pathos are as readily woven on the framework of the present Euro- pean conflict as heretofore around our cam- paigns In the Philippines, and before that around our civil war eplsodes. The writer of fiction never had material of more absorbing human interest to work on than the ages are not soon molded from the outpour- ing of the battles’' fiery melting pot. egrr—— Film Trust Decision. In upholding the Sherman anti-trust law in the case against the so-called fllm trust, the federal court at Philadelphia restated the prinei- ple on which the.law turns. Monopoly in any- thing of public use, not under public control, leads to abuses that cannot be tolerated. The court goes a little further in this case, holding that the possession of patents covering the arti- cle in use 18 not sufficient cause for erecting and maintaining an oppressive operative agency. ‘What the final effect of this decision will be on the moving picture Industry cannot mow be even conjectured. The case will go to the su- preme court of the United States for review, and in the infervening time the owners of the several organizations involved will have opportunity to reconstruct thelr operating plans, The indus- try is of peculiar interest, for it touches the public much closer than any of the other great industrial or commercial organizgations brought to book by the trust law. Its wonderful growth within & very short time is a proof of the popu- larity of its product. Monopolistie control has worked hardship on exhibitors, not so much through the regula- tion of exhibits as the establishment of onerous conditions under which the little fellow might carry on his business. These are the ones who are most vitally concerned in the ultimate settle- 1 | ment. The public will still have its “movies,” and the big operators will continue to reap their profits, but the owner of a ‘“neighborhood theater” may yet escape some portion of the tribute hitherto exacted by the trust, and be per- mitted to retain a larger number of the nickels that come into his coffers, —— Some three months ago the kaiser was quoted as authority for the prophecy that the war would end in October. Ostober is here. If the physician has not established connections with fee-splitters and wishes to get a portion of the fee, he may tell his patient that he will find out who i the best man to operate on him. Meanwhile, he mas write for bids. The physiclan at home generally has @ suspiclon a8 to which oprators can safely be ap- proached on the proposition of splitting a fee. Should the patient learn the facts and ask the fee apiitting family physician to justify himself, the phys! clan would explain that he was underpald; that the operator was overpald, and that he had a right to & sufficlent portion of the fee to even up. His answer might satisfy a person easily satisfied. Furthermore, he would claim that the operator selected was comje- tent. To select any other would be bad business pol- jey. This answer appears sound, and it, no doubt, would satisfy a person easily satisfied Put let us Aig a little deeper and ses 17 the facts Aiaclosed by the digging help the fee-splitter. The immediate answer to the fee-splitter is this: If fee. splitting 18 a Justifiable transaction, then let those who practice it come right out in the open. Let the physiclan concerned tell the patient that the feo i3 to be split, and the basis on which it is split. The man who s cared for by the fee-aplitters doos not get a fair deal. That Is a part of the regson for this article. No physi fan can practice fee-aplitting without degenerating. Tn time he becomes known as a fee-splitter. That hurts his standing. It makes peo- ple suspicious of him, of his opinions and advice. Ac- cepting or paying secret commissions reacts on tue moral and mental tone of the physician Auk_nowled(v ing to himeelf that he get business because he pays for it he will not work as hard to perfe-t himselt, and | to keap abreast of the time, as he otherwise would. Fee- splitting 1s bad for the men who practice it. That is a part of the reason for this article. Twice Told Tales shrewd siother, A mother in Newcastle, Fngland, sent her little boy on an errand, and said: wflow. Harry, go to Smith, the grocer in thum; berland street, and get a pound of the best treacle,’ and she handed the young hopeful a couple of jugs. When the boy had gone, the vicar's wife sald: “You didn’t tell him to get anything in the other Jug. Is he going to leave it at the shop?* “No, ma'am, he's sannin’' to bring it back here axyne” ; “But why send two jugs to get a pound of treacle?” “Well, ye see, it's this way: If he hes a jug in each hand, he canno gan dippin’ his flntl"rl in the treacle and eatin’ it up as he cums hyme."—London Tit Bits. ke Time and Tide. Two Irishmen sallied forth one day in wearch cf They were armed with guns and huge game and as it was thelr first venture at shooting, they were tremendously keen. Suddenly Meehan spotted a bird, and, taking verv eareful alm, prepared to fire the fatal shot. Then Fergus selzed him by the arm frantically, crying: Fer th' mercy's sake, don't fire, Meehan! Shure an' ye've fergotten to load yer gun!" “That's as it may be, me lad," retored Meehau, “hut, fire I must! Begorrah, th' burrud won't wait.” ~New York Times. On the Water Wagon. The alfiafa delegate was paying his first visit to a city of any size. Standing on the sidewalk he chanced to see sprinkling cart coming down the street, and no sooner had he set eyes on the thing than he began to laugh like a boy at a minstrel show. “gay, 0ld pal,” he remarked hilariously, punchlag @ cop in the ribs, “don’t that just beat all?’ Don't what beat all?”’ responded the wonderimg cop. “What's the joke?” “Just look at that feller on that wagon!" replied the alfalfa party, pointing to the sprinkler. “That derned chump won't have a drop of water left by the time he gets home!"—New York Globe, Tull Speed Ahead. He was the slowest boy on earth, and haq Dbeen sacked at three places in two weeks, so his parents had apprenticed h'm to a haturalist. But even he found him slow.

The naturalist ran his fingers through his locks. “Well, Robert,’ he replied at lencth, “I think you might now take the tortolse out for a run.”’—Christlan Register.

All over the country the talk among republicans is, that they consider Elihu Root, as the one to lead us, and when the republican convention is held there may be a few votes cast for favorite sons, Cummins, Hadley, Snerman, Boerne, Borah and Fairbanks, but they will only be cast, awaiting the sreat rush that will set in to put at the head of this grand old republic the greatest intellect this age has produced, Elihu Root, with & platfrom having protection as its main Way upon which other planks less im- portant, but giving the peuple an idea of what we stand for, and what they may count upon If agin returned power, If I lived in Jowa I would not be wile Ing to fool away my vote for a favorite ®on when I knew he had no chance to to win. I would, if I could, put Towa on the firing line for Root. Then Towa would count as it did when Allison and Dolliver were leaders in the state, It then had men from Iowa and they were godones in the departments. It ocounted then. Why don't this, the great- est opportunity in its political life to lead, not follow. C. 8. HMAHMMOND, “Lest Ye Be Judged.” LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 2.-To the Editor of The Bee: The learned (?) Mr. Bradshaw of North Platte, Neb,, takes a slap at the traveling man through The Bee and no doubt feels quite well pleased Wwith the sound of his Iittle tack hammer. He says that 95 per cent of the artveling men are pure, unadulterated sinners. To this we ruply, ‘“Judge not lest ye be Judged.” But even at that most of us would pather be called sinners than fools. It is quite true that traveling men sometimes while away a few minutes with the “fifty-two pleces of polished card board but it is equally true that the ‘narrow guage, small bore pretenders of the Bradshaw type put in their spare time brow-beating their neighbors. We are not a perfect lot, but we deal from the top of the deck and we play the game on the square. As a class we are fully as much divided on the merits of “Billy" Sunday as are other inteiligent men. This writer does not know the wsaintly (?)

If I really thought that a man of education and average intelligence sent this letter I wouldn't take time to even think about this reply, but evidently he is some poor deluded simp from a small town and I will take it upon myself as my Christlan duty to diallusion his narrow mind. I will say for his benefit that there are just as many men on the road who are for “Billy” as are opposed to him. 1 enjoy reading his sermons in The Bee and I hope to read the rest of them. L B, Testim y from & Woman, NORFOLK, Neb., Oct 2~To the Editor of The Bee: In reply to V. A. Brad- shaw's letter wherein he so denounces the traveling men, I would like to say I have traveled a good deal with my two small children. I have always found the traveling man ready to lend a woman, be she old or young, assistance, and in a courteous and gentlemanly way. I was born In a small town myself and know those tobacco-chewing depot decorators, platform obstructors, that' loaf at the depot and taik about a type of men whose shoes they are not worthy to tle.

MRS, F. J. H. Not the Modern Traveling Man. OMAHA, Oct. 3.—To the Editor of The Bee: We notice in The Bee's letter box a letter from V. A. Bradshaw dated North Platte, Neb. Mr. Bradshaw serves to have a very poor opinion of traveling men In general, and is not at all back- ward_in expressing sald opinion, ‘We Just want to say that while it is scarcely necessary to defend the traveling man against & 1fbal of this sort. Yet we would like to set Mr. Bradshaw right on a few points for his own geod. The traveling man he refers to is a creature of the past some fifteen or twenty-five years In the past. The sales- man of the present day ranks in ablity and in morals, right up with any other profession Mr, Bradshaw to the contrary notwithstanding. The boose fighting, card-playing traveling man is so far in the minority that he doesn't count, these days, and thank goodness his shadow is growing beautifully less each year. Perhaps the average traveling man fsn't full of the long faced sour visaged religion that so many seem to be Bee: Hvery true American must re-| gard with satisfaction the action of the farmers congress, in sitting down good and proper on the “chronic kicker” from Silver Creek. 1 realize that we are en- Joying the blessed privilege of free speech and that best men have thelr friends and their enemies.

He ls denouncing the president for the unquestionably neutral stand on the Kuropean war and would, un. doubtedly condemn him with equal bitter- ness had he taken entirely opposite stand. It was high time that some one told him what his uncalled for criticlsm amounted to and I am glad it came from #such respectable body as the farmers congress. JOSEPH L. PADRNOS.
