ST B S TS —_———— NOVEMBER CIROULATION, 53,716 Btate of Nebraska, County of Douglas, ss: THE “Omaha—A City of Opportunity.” ‘The hailing sign which welcomes the coming fuest to Omaha frames an impressive truth. Briefly and tersely it points out the destination for enterprise and energy, and backs up the as- surance of reward by past achievements. The opportunities seized in the past and developed than the opportunities the future hold. The men who projected the meat packing industry | thirty years ago had the courage of their fore- sight and achleved mighty results. In like manner the idea of “the market town" pro- claimed by A. B. Stickney rooted into fertile sofl and grew Into an expanding grain market, These are fundamental industries and markets spring- ing from the opportunities which farm products afford. In and about them are many opportuni- ties for converting raw material into manufac- tured products, effecting at the same time vast economies in bulk and enlarging the avenues of employment. The opportunities suggested to newcomers make & stronger appeal to the men on the ground. One of the greatest opportunities which has knocked at Omaha’s door for years past lles in the oil flelds of Wyoming. Ener- getic development of that region with a pipe line along the level Platte valley will solve the prob- lem of cheaper fuel for Omaha and intervening towns and give the needed economic impulse to old and new industries.

Again the Red Cross seals of the American Antl-Tuberculosis soclety are before the public, calling attentiop to the work this organization is carrying forward for the amelioration of a social condition that affects all. Whatever point of view one takes in connection with tuber- culosis, or disease of any kind, the great out- standing fact is that it is preventable. In the case of the ‘‘white plague” the facts are especially deplorable, because they have to do with the effects of poverty and carelessness; more the latter, for it is always possible to keep clean, no matter how poor. The combat against disease is a conflict with ignorance, to overcome ‘which is no easy task. Immunity means that age-old habits must be changed, and newer and better ways of doing things adopted. Those who have engaged In fighting the battle for health feel they are winning, but they know they must bave continuing support, or their efforts will be of no avail. The Red Cross seal s just an evidence that its user has a personal Interest in the work that is being carried on, and approves of its purpose. That is why hundreds of millions of letters and parcels will be deco- rated with these little reminders during the present holiday season as they have in the past. Sme——— Profit for the British Bondholder. While the flood of weturning American rities, to be loosened by the war and over- whelm the home market, did not materialize, now and then a little trickle indicates that such & flow is still poesible, although highly improba- ble. In referring to the conditions that now provail on the London market, the Times points out that it is not altogether patriotism that is Inducing Britons to part with thelr American stocks and bonds to invest in the British war loan issues. Bonds of American rallroads that sold years ago at a discount as low as 70 are now at par, or over, and ha therefore, yielded a very handsome profit. Their sale at this time, and the reinvestment of the money in British bonds insures & double profit, and enables the thritty British investor to turn a pretty penny, his only risk being against his own government. Hven this advantage has not so far proved so tempting as to bring out large quantities of American securities for conversion, Yankee stocks and bonds are gllt-edged anywhere just now, especially in Kurope, and their owners are not greatly inclined to sacrifi¢e material certainty, even under patriotic impulse, SEp— Pensions for Ministers, Bxecutive bodles of leading religious de- nominations are whipping into practical form plans for old-age pensions for their ministers. For years past the question has been under con- sideration and urgently pressed as a moral ob- ligation. Varfous methods, tested by results, depend for success on two sources of revenue-— an endowment fund large emough to meet the expected annual demands or a per capita an- nual contribution from each congregation, Actuaries estimate that $50,000,000 would be required to finance the several church pension systenis contemplated. The Methodists have raised $5,000,000 of the $15,000,000 necessary to insure permanency ©f their adopted system. A similar method tried by the New York Episcopal diocese and abandoned for the more feasible parfsh subscription plan. Under this method each parish is asked to contribute to the general fund a sum equal to 7 per cent of the pastor's annual salary. Separate accounts are kept of parish contributions and the total is avallable for the pastor and his family in event of death or disebility, or when the pastor reaches 68 years of age. The manner of ful- filling the obligation is not material so long as practical resul’s are reached. A worthy cause challenges conergetic co-operation among the laity. The work carries with it the stimulus of performing a duty the churches owe to thelr age-worn ministers. —_——— A small package of joykilling news breaks into the White House at the moment the glad hand reaches for congress.

OMAF DAY Bl Tooth Brush Controversy Literary Digest. HE STRIKING assertions that the tooth brush does more harm than good, that it not only does not clean the teeth, but itself serves as a dis- seminator of infection, have not been allowed to pass without denfal, though the denials admit that the brush should recelve a more thorough cleansing and circulated article contributed by Dr. man to oral hyglene, other dentists assure us, that the brush is all right, that it is easily sterilized, and that If properly used it is capable of doing precisely what we have been taught from childhood that it was intended to do. A number of these rejoinders to Dr. Feldman ap- | pear In the pages of the journal in which his own paper was printed. For Instance, Dr, W. H. Barth of Great Falls, Mont., writes in it as follows: ‘““The use of the tooth brush, either soft or medium, has caoused very little harm, if any, either to the teeth or the gums, and it has done a great deal to reduce Inflammation of the gums when used to brush them In place of using the forefinger to massage them. The use of the tooth brush has done more for the preservation of the teeth and the restoration of a healthy condition of the guma than anything else that hes come to our knowledge. “It |s safe to say that in 50 per cent of the cases of pyorrhea, the tooth brush is very spldom used, if At all. The proper use of the tooth brush is essential to the care of the teeth; there is no substitute. But that does not mean we should not use silk floss, for #ilk floss Is a very good adjunct. No dentist would dispute the statement that the mouth in which a tooth brush has been used is more clean and free from decay than one In which it had not been used. How many people will maseage thie gums, use silk floes, strips, etc.? The tooth brush is handier, and it can be made as clean and aseptic as the forefinger.” Dr. Benedict Furniss of New York, writing in the same paper, expresses his opinion that there is noth- Ing more menacing about the well-made tooth brush than there is about one's hair brush or one's sponge when a reasonable hygienic care is taken of all of them, and he goes on to say: “Besides the fact that the mouth that is cleaned once, twice, or three times a day cannot possibly supply bacteria in menacing numbers, it must be re- membered that the tooth-bristies, bathed and saturated so frequently with tooth-paste ingredients more or less antisceptic, furnish anything but a happy ablding-place for germ-pests, no matter how vital and resistant they may be. 8o that if we merely hang the tooth brush somewhere in the sunshine at decent intervals, we need not get gray worrying about virulent bacteri “If something more sanitiry than the modern tooth brush can bo devised and made adaptable not alone for the dentist's office, but for home use, let us give the fellows who are endeavoring to do It all the helpfulness we can. But while we're walting for them, it won't help them or ourselves to throw out the best thing we know about now." That proper use of the brush Involves motion in the direction of the tooth’s length and that the usual crosswise brushing may do injury, is hid by Dr, Jules J. Sarrasin of New Orleans, writing In The Medical and Surgical Journal of that ecity. Dr. Sarrazin does not belleve that the brush carries in- fection. "Of course, “If ten or 100 surgi- cally clean brushes sweep in as many flithy, septic mouths, and later, after a thorough rinsing in cold watdp. and drying (which Inhibit ‘bacterial growth), are used to Mmocul culture tubes, an abundant growth of pathogenic germs must surely result. Con- clusions drawn from such a procedure are strikingly unscientific because they take no account of the fact that vastly more infectious material will have been removed from the mouth than can possibly be left in the brush, because they do not duplicate conditions which obtain when truly germicidal dentifrices are employed, and because, even as mouth-infection is reduced by repeated brushings, it will continue to remain 80 far in excess of that in the brush as to render the latter insignificant. “Dentists who entertaln a sentimental or sensa- tional fear of the tooth brush would act more wisely by advising its immersion in an aqueous solution of fodin, followed by rinsing, after each mouth-cleansing, than by misleading the laity, decrying the brush without offering a real substitute for it. “Nelther the proper, root-to-biting surface, bru: motion, nor an efficlent polisher carried by it dry, has ever injured tooth-structure. It is the improper crosswise motion of bristles which wears transverse cervical grooves and Irritates gingival margins, quite regardiess of the dentrifice employed, unless it be gritty beyond reason. Bristles and water, or soap, and chalky impalpable dentrifices are unable to re- move completely septic flims from and develop the protecting polish on exposed surfaces of teeth, whila a waxed thread or tape is similarly inefficient in comparison with positive polishing powder applied by suitable agents In both instances. It has been proved that five years' dally polishing of natural testh with finely pulverized pumicestone resulted in perfect, lustrous dental surfaces.” Here, however, we are apparently touching a feature of the tooth-brush controversy that really divides the dental profession. Many dentists advo- cate the usual, or crosswise, brushing that Dr. Sar- razin condemns. In a symposium printed recently in Items of Interest, a New York dental journal, both methods are advised and both condemned. The editor's conclusion seems to be that the rotary method is to be preferred, but not when “limited to a single skirmish.” Repeated use of it not only removes invading parasites, but produces an influx of blood, exciting greater antiseptic activity of the whits corpuscles. It will be noted that the question of the use or nonuse of the brush did not enter into this controversy, all of the participants belleving in it as a valuable agent of mouth-hygies Twice Told Tales A new minister in & rural district who wished te make the acqualntance of the members of his con- gregation and also to discover whether they were pleased with his discourses, met an old farmer whose face he recognized as one who had attended the church the previous Sunday, and. stopping him, said “Mr. Brown, how did you like my sermon last Sunday?" “Well, parson.” replied the ¢'d man, “you see, 1 Aldn't have a falr chance to judge.

G. BLESSING An Appreciation of Booker Washe ington. OMAHA, Dec. 5.—To the Editor of The Bee: I first saw Booker Washington at Lincoln, where he delivered the com- mencement address to the class of 1908 of the University of Nebraska. Approxi- mately 5,000 people had packed the Audi- torium, and his first utterance, I was born a slave,” was repeated in whispers all through the audiénce. It struck me as a tremendously impressive thing for the great cultured clesses to be doing homage to a black man who was born & slave. It presented to us the spectacle of a slave who had become a master—a master of a social condition and a leader of men. He told us the simple story of how he had gone into the black belt and started a farm and trade school on the red hills of Alabama. 1 became fired with the ambition to go down there and lend what assistance I could to such a deserving movement, and so a few years later, upon the recommendation of Dr. Sherman of the University of Nebraska, I was elected to an instructorship in English and American history, My close personal contact with Mr. Washington enabled me to learn many of his characteristics and the things he stood for, First of all, the doctrine of economy enters into his every act and thought and deed. Béoker Washington never wasted even words. It was always the other fellow who did the talking, and he was listening and thinking. He talked of nothing but business and his work, and all of such talk was either done from the platform or in a conference which had some specific object in view. As in most modern famil it devolved upon the wife to do the “small talk'” and the socializing for the family, which the amiable Mrs. Washington could do very creditably. 1 remember taking breakfast with Mr. and Mrs. Washington, together with & number of other teachers, one Sunday morning. We were there per- haps en hour and a half, and the most sald was the blessing. Yet the man- 'mer of the man seemed sufficlently cor~ dial as to not make one feel uricumfort- able, notwithstanding his amaszing few- ness of words. Booker was eminently fair with his teachers and students. He never took snap judgment on anyone's case, and equity ani justice was the basis of his every decision. When in 1904 the 1,500 students compla‘ned that the few hours on each of the five days given them to work at their trades was insufficient, he solved the difficulty by making Satur- day & school day, therety enabling the students to give three whole days a week to their trade and academic work, respectively. No student ever left Tus- kegee because of lack of money, and no student was ever prevented from coming there because of such lack. He never forgot that he swept his way through Hampton Institute, and the boy or girl who was willing to work at Tuskegee could be educated. It was a fixed custom of Mr. Washing- ton to give a Sunday evening talk to his students. This he did most earnestly, and the grandest lessons in thrift and economy were enunciated here. It s my recollecticn that he undertook to in- culcate in the minds of students the valte to the race of the ploneer, the necessity of starting at the bottom, and the fact that continuous effort along & direct line will surely bring success. Most Tuskegee graduates are prospering because of the example set and the les- wsona taught by their late principal. His talks were equally instructive to student and teacher. Booker Washington stood for simplicity. He never liked high-sounding words when simple English was adequate. He scorned extravagant dress and .had as much aversion to silk hats and canes as he had for the ragged negro man he told of seelng with a stick of peppermint candy. Pomp and ostentation among his people was a source of much regret and shame to him. ‘There is considerable speculation as to the probable successor of Booker Wash- | ington as principal of the Tuskegee In- stitute. It is generally conceded, how- | ever, that Mr. Emmet Scott, private | secretary to Mr. Washington, will be the next head of Tuskegee. Mr. Scott is a practical man, an executive of rare SON.

Here, the Secret is Out. NORTH LOUP, Neb., Dec. 1.—To the Editor of The Bee: The present writer has been studying mechanics and -gun equipment long before there was any de- mand for preparedness in this country. It is generally known that the allied powers have not been able to oppose the Germans on account of an inferior projec- |tile carrying an explosive not sufficlently powerful to do the proper work. The German projectile 1s a secret and known to a limited number of persons only. In working over this matter. I am fully convinced that I have found.the secret of the German projectile. As a matter of fact the public does not realize the effectiveness of that part of the German equipment. Preparedness could do the coast cities very little good, as now pro- posed. Any sort of a boat carrying those projectiles might approach within ten miles of a city and have it blown to kindling before daylight. A dozen of those shells would lay flat the busi- ness district of New York City. The guns on the Panama canal would not be worth that many pop-guns against those shells. Those inventions must be carried as a secret, and cannot be protected by patent right. If the English had the German projectile, they could capture Constantinople within ten days. The French could walk through Belgium within thirty days. A single shell shak- ing down everything on a forty-acre field is a marvel. WALTER JOHISON, LINES TO A SMILE.
