People who attended the auto races at the Omaha Speedway are not complaining that the exhibition was tame or that they were victims of a bunco game, They experienced the thrills that kill or, rather, the thrill produced by killing, namely two accidents with one fatality—and that seems to be the height of racing sport. It is a popular mania, perhaps not developed here more than elsewhere, to see daring men, as it were, toy their lives, The people want thrills and insist upon having them at any price and at any cost of life and limb, But, what's the good of it and what is ac- complished after it is all over? It is only a ques- tion of time when the law that put an end to dueling and to knockout prize fighting will inter- pose a restraining hand on the auto-speed maniacs. Water and the Thristy Corn Fields. Billions of cubic feet of water are impounded back of the Pathfinder dam; thousands of acres of corn in western Nebraska thirst for that water. To bring the two together means to turn the idle water into golden dollars. Why is it not done? Because the reclamation service of the United States has stored up the water and feels that it has a right to keep it. What for? To irrigate the dry lands of the semi-arid region it is in- tended to serve, Well, why doesn't the reclama- tion service let the water go to the corn fields that need it? Nobody outside of official Washing- ton seems to know. The Pathfinder dam was constructed to store up waters of the North Platte that ran away useless. Great ditches were built, and many acres of land were brought under cultivation, until the limit was reached. Further down the river are other acres of land, much needing irrigation, but now deprived of the water that is held idle by the Pathfinder, This isn't at all in keeping with the purposes of that dam. It may be that some red tape will have to be cut, and some technicalities overlooked, but the fields now drying up ought to have that water, It wouldn’t matter a great deal if the Pathfinder reservoir was emptied during the next six’ weeks, A lot more water will pour down from the mountains of Colrado and Wyoming and replenish the store, and the corn in the crib will look a lot better than idle water behind. the big dam. Democrats Dodge Child Labor. In making up its program of “imperative legis- Iation,” the democratic steering committee of the senate has decided to allow the Keating child labor bill to lie over until December, This meas- ure was passed by the house several months ago, and sent to the senate, where it has been held up by the influence of the southern cotton mill own- ers, who are the ones chiefly concerned in its de- feat. Although the platform adopted at St. Louis says, “we favor the speedy passage of an effective federal child labor law,” the dominant party pre- fers to exclude the measure from the list of things to be done, and will fritter away the rest of the present session of congress in debating the ship- ping bill, defeated at the last session, and almost as surely doomed to defeat in the present. The deliberate evasion of a real issue will not be over- looked by the voters, who can not be fooled again by the sham of a platform promise so openly ignored. ' The democrats prate loudly of their devotion to the reform involved in the Keating bill, but they dare not face the test of its passage, for fear of offending the cotton barons of the south, | Education and Farming. The criticism of farmers for haphazrd methods of horse raising uttered by Dr. C. W, McCamp- bell of the Kansas City Live Stock Registry board before the convention of Missouri Valley veterinarians, applies with equal force to nearly all branches of farm: production. A lack of in- telligent management is evident in many direc- tions. Waste of material and energy spring from attempting too much, resulting in little being well done. Intelligence applied to fewer things brings better and more satisfactory returns in the long run. In farming, as in all other activ- ities, knowledge makes for success, and the meas- ure of success is in proportion to the knowledge applied. A recent report on farm life in New York state shows that one farmer in three makes money and only one in twenty-eight makes $2,000 or more a year, That this poor showing is due to poverty of knowledge and shiftlessness is proven * by the fact that farmers with a high school education make double and college men treble the profits per acre than do the unschooled farmers. In the west the unschooled farmer; as a rule, won a competence through hard knocks, rich lands and the rising values of products and acres. The later- farmer. requires more capital, more knowledge of soils, and the indispensable headi- ness which converts raw material into the best paying marketable commodity. Today more than ever before the farm offers the greatest rewards for intelligent energy. No other occupation more surely guarantees independence. EETE——— Plea for Nonpartisan Support. In his speech at Detroit the ‘president pleads for “nonpartisan” support, urging that voters forget party and rally behind his pretensions to a second term. It is characteristic of democrats to resort to this sham patriotism whenever threat- ened by defeat, The hollowness of the maneuver, nor its exposure, is not sufficient to deter them from its practice. They are always “nonpartisan” when seeking for votes in republican states, but we yet have to hear the cry raised by them any- where in the sunny south, where democratic ma- jorities are reliable. But the democrats are never nonpartisan when making plans for government, or when carrying out duties devolving on them. The pregent administration, for example, has vio- lated the civil service law in letter and spirit, and has arbitrarily created 30,000 positions under the government to be filled by “deserving democrats.” Mr. Wilson may be a nonpartisan in Michigan, but he's a good democrat in Georgia. e— A British prize court solemnly vindicates the steamship Wilhelmina and orders payment for the'confiscated cargo. Even though vindication comes too late for Wilhelmina living, it is worth while knowing that she was built on the square and guiltless of wro Vale, Wilhelmina! Even if a state bank charter could be arbi- trarily refused, the way would remain open to secure a national bank charter, An over-supply of banking facilities in any community cannot be stopped 80 long as there is more than one source of bank charter wglg. 4 Small wonder that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, almost 86 years old, is reported eriti- cally ill. Many younger sovereigns of Europe are woefully sick of their surroundings. OMAHA, ODAY Thought Nugget for the Day.

ThePees LeHer: Infantile Paralysis. Omaha, July 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: Called in medical language “Poliomye- litis snterior acuta,” was known and de- scribed by Hippocrates, a Greek physician, 400 B. C., also by Galen of Greece in 170 A. D. It was thoroughly described by many others since, as by Underwood in 1784, Shaw in 1822, Badham in 1835, Jacob Heine in 1840, Cornil in 1863, Provost and Vulpian in 1865, by Charcot, Sequin and many others since, to the present time. Its tissue changes in the spinal cord and the characteristic symptoms have been well described and everywhere known to scholarly men, yet the profession does not succeed well in the treatment of patients thus afflicted for the reason that they attempt to treat the disease instead of treating the patient. Their philosophy of life and disease, born out of the ignorance, error: d superstitions of a credulous age, are nof rmony with modern evolutionary -science, They are ob- sessed with ‘germophobia, and blinded by the financial rewards of the germ theory, as the fundamental, primary casuse of disease. They refuse to see the truth that chemical and biological factors in the blood stream are primary, and the presence of germs a secondary matter They do not see the truth that a relatively pure blood stream is ample protection against any germ and all forms of disease. So-called pathological germs cannot live and do harm in a pure blood stream. But when from violations of physiological laws and sanitary precautions the blood stream is impoverished and vital forces weakened for lack of proper and sufficient food, so often found among the poor in our cities, or among the wealthier class of people who are overfed with excesses of various kinds where elimination of waste matters is imperfect and hence there is an accumulation of chemical substances that impair tissue resistance and pollute the blood stream making & soil where the germ liferate and destroy the patient, then s produced. is no good remson whatever, for injecting millions of dead bacteria, or se- rums into & human body to kill pathological germs or to prevent disease when there is a far better way of purifying the blood stream 80 no germ can exist there and do harm. The medical profession is wrong in teaching people to look outside of them- selves for the causes of dis The truth build our own disea: by our in- verted functions, improper re to eliminate injurious chemical subs that strictly speaking, constitute a toxication. Germs exist everywhere in nature, in health and disease, and they can do no harm in a body pro- tected by a pure blood stream. Epidemics and endemics feed upon those who have a polsoned blood stream, and stop where there is no auto-intoxication. Disease cannot go from person to person when the life is properly lived and the blood stream relatively pure. The common teaching and beliefs of the medical profession are old superstitions unworthy of those who can and do think. Infantile paralysis is not to be handled with drugs, serums, or vaccines, but by sanitary conditions, right thinking, right living and a strong vital resistance reinforced by a relatively pure blood stream. The day is coming when people will be ashamed to be sick. The physician of the future will be a teacher rather than a dope giver. The so-called germ theory of dis- ease and the methods of treatment em- ployed by most physicians are, like vaccina- tion, an insult to my intelligence, and the common sense of thinking people. The troubles that you meet in life Are of your own design; They come and go according to The way that you incline. You must not blame the oil or lamp Or pumping wick between, The trouble is your own neglect, Your burner isn’t clean.—Bramleykite. DR. L. A. MERRIAM. [Rsiraiuni Delusions About the Lords. Benson, Neb., July 15.—To the Editor of The Bee: John Redmond’s denunciation of the marquis of Lansdowne's speech delivered in the House of Lords on Tuesday last pertaining to the provisional government of Ireland unti] a new government can be established, is preposterous. Far from being & detlaration of war on the people of Ire- land, it is a declaration of wisdom. The majority of the people of the United States labor under the delusion that the House of Lords is composed of & lot of boobs. They are mistaken. The marquis of Lansdowne, chairman of the House of Lords, is one of the shrewdest and most logical men in Great Britain. THOMAS HENRY WATKINS. Americanism First. Omaha, July 16.—To the Editor of The that there is being experi- e difficulty in deliver- been very much disappointed otherwise. The progressive party is made up of men who believe in something, and it is hard to de- liver that kind of men. And there is plenty of room for difference of opinion as to what progressives should do in the coming election. I, frankly, have doubts. I consider the present administra- tion about as uncertain, wabbly and ama- teurish as it is possible for a man of ability to make it, and t disgraceful as poss| intentions, but if I believed that the cham- pioning of Hughes by the hyphens meant the leaning of Hughes by the millionth part of an inch toward surrendering any part of his Independence to any foreign element, I would be for Wilson if he had_been wrong all of the time instead of only two-thirds of the time. ‘To me, there is just one question worth while before the American people today. That is, is there an American people? Are we a nation or just a jumble of discordant elements? Have we the courage of our con- victions, granting that we have any convie- tions, or are we so enamored of ease and prosperity and the full belly that we will submit to anything rather than fight? De ‘we want our boys brought up to take kicks and cuffs from every bully rather tnan come home with an occasional black eye? To me it seems patent that there is no measuring the harm that Wilson has done along this line. Hughes couldn't ba wor: therefore I am for Hughes, at the same ti granting Wilson all his good intentions. Ha Ing demoralized, with his false standards of courage, and his official recognition of flab- biness and slacking, the young men of the country, he now finds himself in a position where he must try to undo all this and, out of these same young men, build up an army. I have been for Roosevelt, I am still for Roosevelt, who created the issue of Ameri- canism, and who did the only sensible thing in refusing to accept a nomination on the third party ticket, after the nomination of Hughes. Hugh fter personal interviews, has been able to satisfy Roosevelt's rather too fervid patriotism and Amerieanism. If he is right on that issue, he is right for me. Other issues ean wait. Whether we have a country that is as good as it might be is of secondary importance to whether we have a country at all. Whether Nebraska shall be dry or wet is important; whether men shall have good or starvation wages is important; whether women and children shall work under healthful conditions or the reverse is important; whether officials shall be honest or dishonest is important; but all these can wait. The thing is to have a country of our own men and women of courage to assert their right to work them out without outside interference. Wil- son makes for flabbiness, vacillation and un- certainty. There is nothing in the history of Hughes to indicate such tendencies. Therefore I am for Hughes. H. W. MORROW. WHAT CITIES ARE DOING.

When the hair about the temples Starts to show the signs of gray And a_fellow realizes that he's wandering far away From the pleasures of his boyhood and his youth and nevermore Will Know the joy of laughter as he did in Aays of yore, Oh, It's then he starts to thinking of a stubby little lad With ‘n face as brown ds berries and a soul supremely glad. When a gray-haired dreamer wanders down the lanes of memory And forgets the living present for the time of ‘‘use-to-be,” He takes off his shoes and stockings, and he throws his coat away, And he's free from all rstrictions, save the rules of manly play, He may be In tattered garments, but bare- headed in the sun He forgets his proud successes and the.riches he has won. th. there's not a man that liveth but would give his all to be The stubby little fellow that in dreamland he can see, And the splendors that surround him and the joys about him spread { Only seem to rise and taunt him with the boyhood that has fled. When the hair about the temples begins to show time's silver stain, Then the richest man that's llving yearns to be a boy again. e e The Hotel Success of Chicago YOUR busy day in Chicago can best be ed from the New Kaiserhof.
