Douglas county and yet to Saunders tounty trade, Ship Building in War Times. According to figures furnished by the De- partment of Commerce, the United States for the first time in half a century leads the world in merchant shipbuilding. Ordinarily this would be occasion for much satisfaction, but it is due to the employment of shipyards in foreign coun- tries for war purposes rather than to the unusual growth of American facilities. The returns from Lloyds indicate a decline in the world’s output of steel merchantmen from a gross tonnage of 3,332,882 in 1913 to 1,201,638 in 1915. The latter figures, necessarily, do not include any returns from Austria and Germany, which were 61,757 and 465,226 gross tons, respectively, in 1913, But British production has fallen from 1,932,153 in 1914 to 650,919 gross tons in 1915. It is esti- mated by Lloyds that the total decline in ship building from the beginning of the war in 1914 up to date is 3,500,000 gross tons. To this should be added an estimated total loss of ship- ping actually destroyed of 2,713,966 gross tons, or a total shortage of more than six million gross tons. For the current year ship builders in the United States estimate they will launch 351 steel ships, of a total tonnage of 672,106, This is more than three times the output of 1915, and only about half the actual tonnage on order books. The figures are interesting, as showing the pros- pects for a continuation of activity in shipyards, no matter when peace is declared, and also for the maintenance of ocean freights at a high figure. The restoration of the German merchant fleet to service will relieve the freight situation to some degree, as will the removal of war risk, but several years will be required to restore to the fleets of the world the tonnage lost through cessation of building and the havoc of war. A Big Job Waiting for Someone. Douglas county has more than sixty school districts outside of Omaha in each of which a school is being conducted under direction of a separate local board of trustees. In other words, we have more than sixty school centers in this county, outside of Omaha, with independent man- agement and no common bond except the super- "vision of the county superintendent and the col- lection of the school taxes by the county treas- urer. Of course all these little school districts are governed by the same state laws and are working along similar lines of child teaching and training, but in the very nature of the case there must be a tremendous lot of wastefulness and du- plication even without questioning the absolute honesty and good intent of the business manage- ment, Imagine Omaha with sixty public schdols con- ducted independently, each by its own board of managers! How long would the people rest satisfied with such a situation? A law was put on the statute books by the legislature not long ago supposed to make possible consolidation of the rural school districts in the county, yet no move has been made so far as we know to take ad- vantage of it. The job of consolidating and unify- ing the management of the rural schools of Doug- last county, is waiting for someone to tackle it. Buying the Danish West Indies. Negotiations for the purchase by the United States of the Danish West Indies have reached a point where the deal is practically consummated. This point has been approached several times in the past, but the actual purchase has invariably been blocked by the influence of some European power. The islands, which lie off Porto Rico, are of little value aside from their strategic im- portance. In the possession of a first-class Eu- ropean power, they would be a continual menace to our coast, permitting the establishment of a naval base from which operations against the United States would be easy. This fact has led to several unsuccessful efforts by our government to obtain possession of the islands. One point has been in our favor; while we have not been able to secure the group, we have been able to prevent one of the greater European powers from obtaining control. The turn in Danish affairs, resulting from the war, has again placed the United States in position to negotiate, and the bargain apparently has been struck. This group, with Porto Rico, will give United States much better standing at the en- trance to the Caribbean, where Great Britain and France now command. The strategical impor- tance of this is easily understood, particularly when the Panama canal is given its proper weight as a factor in war as well as peace. The main- tenance of our supremacy in American waters is paramount to other considerations, and the ac- quisition of the Danish West Indies is a move to accomplish that purpose the Where Instruction Is Needed. Much good advice is being given by authorities charged with looking after public health, inform- ing people as to how to combat not only the dreaded infantile paralysis, but also how to avoid contracting or spreading other diseases. This advice in the main takes the form of constant adjuration to cleanliness. People are urged to be ever zealously watchful that homes and home sur- roundings are kept clean, and police and other public. inspectors are warned to be vigilant in ‘oversight of all places where food and drink are dispensed, that no danger be permitted to lurk there, And always the people are advised to con- sult a physician at the first sign of sickness among children. Right here is the rub. Many poor persons are averse to consulting a physician because of the expense. They are inclined to rely on nature, or home remedies, rather than to incur a doctor’s bill. These people need to be instructed in how to secure the services of the various agencies that locally exist for furnishing medical advice and treatment without cost to those who are not able to pay. Omaha is not overburdened with dispengaries, and other places where assistance of this sort is given, but it has some, perhaps all that are needed. The poor ought to be taught how to reach them. The return of Warden Osborne to the manage- ment of Sing Sing prison was signalized by a con- vict celebration and the arrest in Baltimore of a former prisoner for forging the warden's name to a check. The coincidence is annoying, but not un- usual. Few flocks wholly escape the taint of black sheep. * The wheat and small grain harvest is assufed, but the corn crop is yet due for enough ups and downs to keep the board of trade margin specula- tors in the game. Purchasers of spring chicken at restaurant prices may get some consolation from the thought that Douglas county assesses them at 50 cents a head. il (ODAY Thought Nugget for the Day.

Letter From Dr. Wiley. Omaha, July 25.—To the Editor of The Bee: One does not like to hear the great initiative work that was accomplished by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley belittled. It took a brave man to be the father of pure food legislation in thi scountry and his “pernic- jous uctivity” cost him his position. In 1909 he brought about the celebrated hearing on “What Is Whisky?” and later he fought “the interests” concerning the adulteration of foods, with unnatural preservatives, such as boric and salicylic acids and benzoate of soda. He believed that tie housewife was right and that good natural vinegar and sugar were the more wholesome as preserva- tives and that the reason that the people preferred the handiwork of their mothers, rather than the grocery store, even if it did spoil once in a while, was that the latter took the short cut for commercial purposes and that the work of the housewife was not only more palatable but that a man had to be in good health and with the stomach of an ostrich to digest the other. In the Spanish-American war, we heard much of “embalmed meats”—that is meats that would keep all right in hot weather by being converted into a kind of leather, but they were “hell” on the stomachs of the soldiers. If you will notice the troops on the Mex- ican border now, you will see that that day is past. What is the matter with those who would make big profits that they must en- danger the lives of those who fight their battles? And send them flour as quinine as was done in the civil war. Even a big pickle and preserve man ad- vertises now that he can do without chem- jcals and if so that is the work of Dr. Wiley. It is this sort of thing that has brought us face to face with prohibition in this state. In 1908 there was a hearing before the royal commission in England on dis- tilled alcoholic liquors and the same at Washington in 1909. Being interested to get at the facts of the hearing and failing to get the book of the testimony from any other source, I appealed to Dr. Wiley and he sent me the only copy he had. It is a book of some 1,300 pages, mostly in fine print, and it has evidently been bought up and out of circulation. In this country only chemists, pharmacists, distillers and rectifying men testified, but in England they went into the medical end of it also, with physicians on the stand. There has never been a hearing in this country on the manufacture of beer o: wine or any other fermented liquors. The following shows how Dr. Wiley feels at present: Washington, July 19, 1916.—Dear Dr. Wilkinson: I thank you for sending me the clipping of your picnlc speech and your letter of July 12. I am glad to know that the work T did ‘.,\- tried to do to secure pure beverages of an alcoholic character is appreciated. I have only a few moments to answer vour letter and to say, that while T appre- ciate your courtesy I think you make a mistake in opposing state-wide prohibition. When 1 lost my fight for the purity of al- coholic beverages I realized that the only alternative to save the people from the woes of adulterated whisky, brandy, rum and beer was universal prohibition. T therefore am a moderate, consistent, but determined advocate of nation-wide prohibi- tion. I am, very truly, H. W. WILEY. I am sorry that I cannot agree with Dr. Wiley, for it was only of the manufacture that his great hearing dealt with, with here and there medical testimony from the Eng- lish commission. It seems foolish to me that I should be so radical in dealing with a great provision of a natural law. 1 believe that a proper legislature in this state can make progress, where Washington did not, rather than make the mistake this fall of prohibition and then have us all re- gret later that we did not educate a legisla- ture up to see that it was up to it to do the proper thing in this sovereign state. Such a bill can be drafted. GEORGE P. WILKINSON, M. D. But Would This Solve It? Omaha, July 24.—To the Editor of The Bee: The newspapers of the United States have carried through many great reforms by united effort; now let me suggest that, owing to the shortage of print paper, if for no other reason, the papers unite to clear their pages of the brain debauching, insane pictures that have been disfiguring their pages since Hearst first lowered the standard of the newspapers of this country. While you are about it you might also clean out the d. f. syndicated articles that give our intelligence the tired feeling. Clean out and clear up the newspapers of the United States. A. A. T, An Old Subscriber. No Rest for the Righteous. Omaha, July 24.—To the Editor of The Bee: I arrived in Omaha last Saturday evening and registered at a prominent hotel on Sixteenth street, anticipating a good night’s rest, but instead sleep was out of the question, as the night throughout was made hideous by the riotous and obscene language of drunken men and women on the street and in passing autos with cutouts open in many cases. A fitting climax occurred at 4:45 a. m. Sunday, when two drunken men and two women in like condition fought and used the vilest language for twenty minutes at the in- tersection of Sixteenth and Davenport streets. This was witnessed by the guests of the hotels and residents in the vicinity, who were awakened, also, by many newsboys and others, several hundred in all, and not a policeman in evidence. I have lived in Chicago for years and dur- ing its wicked period never saw or hesrd anything to equal conditions here at present. Unless conditions change materially the undersigned will register at a Council Bluffs hotel on next trip or take to the woods. “Safety first.” E. A. THURSTON. SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Cleveland Plain Dealer: A Minnesota minister says a man is on the downward path when he can no longer remember all the ten commandments. Is it necessary for a man to remember them in order to keep them? Philadelphia Record: The application to the churches of this centralizing tendency in schools is very directly promoted by the introduction of the automobile. The farm family wishes to go out on Sunday for a trip in the machine. A church within a mile or two is no sort of a destination. But if the church is about thirty miles distant, it is obvious that the spiritual needs and the desire for recreation can be combined. The family can have a spin of sixty miles in going to church, and the old habit and the new one fit together like hand and glove. The Kansas idea is to get a church about thirty miles away from everybody. There are possibilities of large congrega- tions in that. Baitimore American: The dead line in the churches ranges about forty to forty-five years of age, after which it is difficult for a minister to receive a call, yet there needs no argument to prove that in the case of every other type of brain worker and of every other class of administrator this age is the age of early matygity and of best service. Hence, the reflection is forced upon the mind that the churches deliberately cater to superficiality in ideas and effects rather than striving for the building up of the people in the manner they were cultured by the ministry of the last generation. There is no reason, therefore, to have sur- prise at the flippancy with which the church and its ministry are often spoken nor is there occasion for surprise that ofttimes there are heresy trials and other scandals growing out from the vealishness of the callow youths who in many instances affect all wisdom and all knowledge and disdain the landmarks that their fathers had set up. Let the young mAn have his chance, but let the church be foremost and sound doc- trine be preached.
