The Battle of the Cornfields. While proceedings along the Somme, at Ver- dun, and on the Russian front hold a little more than casual interest for the reader, the real heart concern of the American public just now has to do with the Battle of the Cornfields. It is not a novelty, for it is repeated year after year, as regu- larly as the procession of the seasons, but it never loses its command of public attention. The battle has its regular stages, too, and through each the army of King Corn is accom- panied by the anxious hopes and fears of all.

Old Sol attacks him with a ferocity that is fiend- ish, and days see him shrivel under the relentless blaze that threatens to consume all. But night restores his vigor, and from the furnace of July and August, the army of King Corn emerges with waving plumes, and swelling ears. Another stage, the threat of early frost, will still hold the watch- ers anxious, but finally, under the golden sun of warm September, the battle of the cornfields must end in victory, and myriads of cribs and bins are filled with the spoils. No conflict staged by man surpasses this re- curring combat of Nature’s forces, for man at his best is yet an imitator, except on Omaha and eastern exchange, mnot accepted. —_— OFFICES.

Ad- dress will be changed as often as requested. P e The popularity of the swimming pool has been pretty well vindicated. Why Such Flagrant Falsehoods? The business that was of the most impor- tance was to go over the list of candidates and see that in every case where, in the primaries, candidates running on both tickets, the one having the most votes when the democratic and populist votes were added together, should go on the populist ticket. When it came to that of lieutenant governor, an entirely differ- ent situation was confronted. Edgar Howard had not filed on the people’s party ticket, and Mr, Pearson received all the populist votes cast—about 18, nd the old rule of honor which had been kept by both parties ever since there was fusion with the democratic li»rty did not apply. The convention concluded that as Mr. Howard had never asked for populist votes or subscribed to the principles of the party they could not place him on their ticket and Mr. Pearson will be the populist candidate for lieutenant governor.—Account of populist state convention in World-Herald. Why should the democratic senator's per sonal organ resort to such flagrant falsehood to justify the ditching of a fellow candidate .on the same ticket with him? The returns of the recent primary election in Nebraska happen to have been printed in offi- cial pamphlet form by the democratic secretary of state and the figures show that the total num- ber of populist ballots was not 18,000, but exactly 433. The official figures, moreover, show that for the nomination for lieutenant governor, Ed- gar Howard, running in the democratic primary alone, polled 35206 votes, as against Pearson's 20,006 democratic votes and 172 populist votes, totalling together 20,178, The declaration that the so-called “rule of honor” does not apply because Howard had never subscribed to the principles of the populist party is also a palpable falsehood. Edgar How- ard ran for congress as the populist nominee in this Second Nebraska district in the year 1900 and polled more populist votes in these three counties than Pearson ever had in the whole state, 3 Neither of the two reasons given, then, is the real reason, and unquestionably were conditions reversed so that Howard bad the populist nomi- nation, but not the democratic nomination, an exactly opposite decision would have been made to force a fusion on this office the same as on the rest of the ticket. In a word, Howard is ditched because he lined up with Bryan against the Hitchtock-Mullen-Fanning machine, which has acquired ownership of the remnants of the populist’ organization for just such purposes of manipulation. The distinction between “sizzling” and “swel- tering” is altogether too fine to quarrel over. , Our women golfers have at least shown the ; } - ability of the sex to mount superior to weather | conditions. *Why democrats are happy!” Perhaps the Jacksonians can tell—unless they have forfeited their standing as democrats. _ One of the Commercial club’s auto trips has been postponed, presumably because the heat in- terferes with the trade winds. With wheat yields in Nebraska breaking all records, our farmers are not especially worried m the boost in prices on the boards of trade. ‘With 56 per cent of its homes owned by the ts and $35,000,000 in savings deposits, Omaha has a right to sit up and say it is a thrifty village. ‘Whatever else it iu—:c;;mlhing. that Ger- submarine merchanttan is succeeding in seping a small fleet of enemy warships busy on Great Britain shows some signs of realizing hlund‘er of the blacklist, but has not rescinded yet.

Sir Horace Plunkett, in a statement cabled to America, expres view that has been held by many of the best posted friends of Ireland, that the present disturbance in Parliament will not seriously affect the home rule bill. The speech of Lord Landsdowne, expressing as it did the sen- timents of the opposition, was irritating in the lextreme, and came at a time when it was most embarrassing. Lloyd-George had outlined a plan on which order could be restored and peace con- served in Ireland, and this had the support of Carson and Redmond, leaders of the factions divided on home rule. That this agreement, so eminently satisfactory to all, at least as an ex- pedient to bridge over the crisis, should be halted by the utterance of a Tory extremist was disap- pointing as wel] as annoying. Remond's indignant outburst and Healy's fiery harangue were but natural expressions of zealous lrin_hmcn, who could scarcely have said less under the circum- stances. The work of Lloyd-George will stand, though, and Asquith’s great patience will prevail, to the end that a measure embodying the compromise agreement will appear in season, and the Irish question will be adjusted on a basis that will please all but the irreconcilables. E— Again the Crumbling State House. According to the report of the state engineer, who has just made another of his periodical ex- aminations of the structure, the condition of the capitol building has become much more serious, if not actually alarming. It is steadily crumbling away, and may become untenantable at any time. This means that the time has come when provi- sion must be made for a new building, and plans for a structure to accommodate the departments and offices of the state government therein housed can not be much longer delayed. The Bee has frequently urged this, not as a matter of ex- travagance, but of necessity. Nebraska deserves 2 better building than the one now falling to pieces ever was, and we venture to renew the sug- gestion, made over a year ago, that it be made a part of a comprehensive plan for a great state civic center at the capital city, one commensurate with the importance of Nebraska as a common- wealth, and in which its progressive und intelli- geat citizenship may have a proper pride. i - m——— ‘What's a few figures more or less among /| democrats?

Josephine Baker of the Bureau of Child Hygiene in New York, has fiupared a pamphlet based on the experiences of the epidemic. . In addition to cleanliness, dry, dustless clean- ing of houses, screening of windows against flies and the destruction of filth, garbage and vermin of every sort, the following suggestions are made: The early symptoms are usually fever, weak- ness, fretfulness or irritability and vomiting. If paralysis is to occur, it ulullf; appears from the second to the fifth d’ay after the sickness begins. Pay special attention to bodily cleanliness. Take a bath every day and see that all clothing which comes into contact with the skin is clean. Keep your children by themselves as much as possible. Children should not be kept in the house; they should be out of doors as much as possible, but not in active contact with other children of the ne|g|borhood. o not take your children with you when you go shopping. Do not allow your children to be kissed. It is perfectly safe to let ’onr children go to the parks and playgrounds if only two or three of them play together; they should not play in large groups, and you should not let them come ;:to icontm:t with children from other parts of e city. Give your children plain, wholesome food, in- cluding plenty of milk and vegetables. Keep the milk clean, covered and cold. Do not allow the milk or any other food té be exposed where flies may alight upon it. Wash well all food that is to be eaten raw. Remember that in hot weather children are apt to have stomach troubles. If your child is taken sick with loose movements of the bowels, or with vomiting, do not at once fear that it must be infantile paralysis; it may be simply degestive disturbance, Give the child a tablespoonful of castor oil and plenty of cool water to drink, and send for the doctor at once.

Omaha, July 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: The Wild West show seems to have stirred up considerable comment. The columns in the daily newspapers, after the various performances, were not calculated to attract the presence of people who like mod- erate and humane amusement. If a man chooses to run a gasoline car 118 miles an hour; shoot himself through a wooden fence and mash himself and kill his companion, it's pretty much his own affair, but that a group of dumb animals should be forced to go through a four-hour string of stunts and come out with broken legs and bleeding bodies, seems cruel and unnecessary. Men can choose what they want to do, but horses and steers can't. The frontier show was doubtless a money- maker, but not particularly creditable to the taste of the community. It would be so very comforting and satisfactory if the Ak- Sar-Ben governors would stage a Nebraska historical pageant next season, and just give the people a chance to demonstrate that they will patronize a different kind of a thing. If 3,000 spectators will gather at Percy Mackayes Bird masque, I'll venture to say that a vast audience would greet an elaborate pageant. We don't always have to stay wild and woolly, do we? MARY LEARNED. Stop the Killing of Doves. Scotts Bluffs, Neb., July 27.—To the Edi- tor of The Bee: I want to second Mr. Agnew's motion to repeal the open season on doves. The dove is the emblem of peace and innocence. The so-called sportsmen must shoot, why don’t they join the army, go to the border, shoot across the Rio Grande and hunt outlaws; that ought to quench their thirst for slaughter. Those who are in favor of saving this beautiful and innocent little bird from ex- tinction, should see to it that the state sen- ators and representatives they vote for next November are pledged to vote for a perma- nent closed season on doves. J.'F. WEYBRIGHT. Prohibition Puzzler's. Omaha, July 27.—To the Editor of The Bee:, On the bulletin board of a nearby church is a poster reading about as follows: “The liquor consumption of Kansas is only one-sixth the average of wet states, Pro- hibition prohibits.” Splendid! Say that again pleas But in 1910 there were seventy-six con- victions of murder in Kansas. In 1911 there were more divg¥ces granted on account of drunkenness than in twenty-five other states, only one state beat her in this line, it was the dry state of Maine. If there was a moral. gain we hoped to see it in divorces caused by d-unkenness. Now, if the lquor consumption is one-sixth of the other states, it must not be responsible for her eriminal record. Perhaps low have something to do with it. A Kansas subcommittee of the State Industrisl Welfare commission re- ports that of 564 women laundry workers checked up, 179 are receiving less than $6 a week, eighty-one less than $5 and some are receiving $3.50. ber but fifteen are paid more than week. Only 1.7 per cent of the whole labor popy- lace resides in Kansas, and the average sav- ings deposit is ohly half as high as the average of other state inhabitants. Well, there might be a reason. But .on the other hand, supposing this one-sixth alcohol consumption is like all other prohibition doetored statistics and that the alcohol consumption is higher there than here, for in twenty years alcoholic deaths increased 58 per cent in dry states, while they decreased 34 per cent in regulated states. Why do we need prohibition if it Out of the entire num- $10 a don't prohibit? Or even gets us from bad to worse. so-called moral ‘reasons resolve into financial reasons if you in- them close. This prohibition game has, during the last twenty years, changed from a temperance organization to a rivalry between two sets of business men. Although it changes a state from light drink to strong drink, because it is easier shipped, it is a benefit for some capitalist and there is rea. son for a state staying a dry one if it is under their rule. WILLIAM WRAGE. Let the Postoffice Do It. Omaha, July 26.—~To the Editor of The Bee: I liked your article about using the postoffice to serve legal papers and if your advice is not acted on by our lawmakers, it must be to keep men in useless soft jobs liv- ing on exactions from poor people, who can hardly support themselves. A neighbor of mine, a poor man who had misfortune of. sickness in his family, was sued for a bill the other day and the costs were almost as much as the bill, and more than half the costs were fees for lazy fellows for serving notices. When a postage stamp would have done just as well. It is harder on poor people who are dragged into court than on anyone else. J. H. B. Time To Drop Coarse Entertainments. Omaha, July 27.—To the Editor of The Bee: I was very glad indeed to read Miss Millard's letter in The Bee and feel that the community owes the women who have been stressing “kindness to animals” a debt. Miss Millard should be commended for her courageous stai Isn't it time that we abandon such coarse forms of entertainment? We are judged, and rightly, by how we spend our leisure, If this community is giving street fairs of the character of the past and frontier day attractions, we must all pay the penalty of such lowering of standards. Fancy visualiz- ing for our young people the brutality which breaks a young horse's leg. A pet that should be loved and cared for. Our city is harmed by the advertising it gets through such entertainment. Let us name ; there is the Fine Arts soclety and the Friend of Arts; there's Woman's elub and the Playground associa- tion; there's the Audubon society and the Drama league, and last, but not least, the Humane society. Why not consult with the heads of some of these s ies when Omaha is to be properly boosted? Why not,. “Grow with Growing Omaha? KATHERINE BAXTER.
