"lnu ll:dy in the case ed as.a “village philosopher, even a8.. "m phy are capable of Omaha as a Farm Region Center. Omaha's claims for recognition as a proper lo- cation for a farm loan bank, under the new law, are ideally supported. Members of the newly named board suggest the appropriate qualification for location is proximity to farm region center, regardless of size of the community. And in this resides the advantage as well as the danger to Omaha's pretensions. Omaha is the center of the richest agricultural region in the world. A circle having a radius o 150 miles, with Omaha for its center, will en- close an area that annually sends to market more of the products of the soil than any other simi- larly sized area in the world, This is not guess work, but is based on facts. Omaha is the nat- ural market for this wonderful region, and is surely coming into its own, in spite of efforts of communities located around the edges of the rich- est farm region the sun shines on. This is the advantage of location. The danger that Omaha faces is in the person- nel of the board. Secretary McAdoo made no ef- fort to dissemble his personal prejudice against this city when the federal reserve banks were being located. The farm loan board has on it one Sioux City man, and a former resident of Sioux City; and one man from Great Bend, Kan, This accounts for four of the five members of the board as it stands, who will not ordinarily be especially favorable to Omaha’s selection. Only ignorance of the facts can prevent this city from getting the bank, if proximity to the farmer is to be the determining factor. Experi- ence with the location of the federal reserve banks shows that natural advantages do not always count in these matters, The Trouble With the Climate. Sunspots, electric disturbances, the war in Eu- rope, and all similar influences are discarded by the scientific sharps who dominate the weather bureau at Washington, for they have located the “Bermuda high,” and, therefore, the cause of all the trouble we have been having with our cli- mate lately, This, in simple words, is an unusual accumulation of air in the vicinity of the West Indies, following a mood of the atmosphere, on which all weather depends, and which is the most unstable of the elements. About the only conso- lation that can be gained from the knowledge is that the law of compensation must work, and the Bermuda high must submit to such distribution as will relieve the low pressure over the great cen- tral portion of the United States, which has been so generously scorched while the “high” was de- veloping.' Along with this distribution will come rains, and some of them will very likely come to the corn fields that now need moisture. The exasperating fact remains that, while man can tell why these “high” and “low” spots occur, he can never tell when nor where. Nor can he tyl with any exactitude just what will happen when the great mass of heaped-up atmosphere that makes a high gets topheavy and tumbles over into the depression that is mapped as a low, If he knew these two things, the job of forecasting the weather would be a veritable cinch. How Terribly Distressful! It seems that no matter what the republicans do in Nebraska, they cannot possibly escape the distressing sympathy of our amiable democratic contemporary which is so constantly fearful that republican mistakes may re-elect its chief owner to the United States senate, Because the republican primary, fought out free from factional slates, resulted in the nomi- nation of a majority of candidates residing in Omaha or Lincoln, it is tearfully salicitous for republicans in other parts of the state to correct the defects of the primary by voting the demo- cratic ticket. Because the former bull moosers are back in the party and are sharing with the regulars the management of the republican campaign, this democratic organ is shedding copious crocodile tears over the outrages perpetrated by the stand- patters, ’ Because the chairman of our recent republican state convention assailed the democratic record of “watchful wobbling” and showed up good and plenty the repudiation of democratic promises, he is subjected to personal ridicule and lampoon- ing, We know it is terribly distressing for the democrats to see the handwriting on the wall foreshadowing their certain defeat and we hardly expect them to be in jovial spirits about it, but they ought not to take it so hard at this early stage of the game, The President's Variable Mind, President Wilson's public advocacy of the Kea- ting child labor bill chiefly serves to draw atten- tion to the fact that a very short time ago he expresséd his'earnest opposition to this measure. Conditions which have arisen in the last few weeks have apparently convinced him that he made a serious blunder in his first stand on the bill, and he now hurries to its support, in the wake of the popular demand that it be made a law. Maybe he has received assurances from the south- ern cotton barons that he will get the vote of the solid south regardless, and that they will take their chances on evadiig the law, leaving him free to pretend to the labor vote of the north that he has been frlenaly all the time. This is not the first time the president ha given proof that he does not know just where his “single track” mind is leading him. He has re- versed himself on the Philippine question; on the matter of national defense he has made a com- plete about-face movement; his off-and-on policy with Mexico has witnessed so many changes and variations that it has come to be like the snake described in the “Bigelow Papers,” of which the observer was unable to say if it “was going south or coming back.” He changed his mind with re- gard to free trade, on the tariff commission and on other important issues. Not the least of these is the matter of running for a second term. His fellow countrymen have welcomed some of these reversals, and cheerfully accord to Mr. Wil- son the right to change his mind as often as he likes. But the voters have minds of their own and will soon let him know what they think of a president who is consistent only in his inconsist- ency. S— Another bank in Nebraska has de-nationalized and taken out a state charter and the last report shows a loss of more than forty to the national banking system throughout the country, so the reason must be sought not so much in the attrac- tions of the state law as in the new burdens or the | objectionable features which the present admin- istration has put into the national law. Incidentally, however, the reasons are just as strong for being humane and kind to animaly in the winter time as in the summer tine. B e PO S ‘ODAY. Thought Nugget for the Day. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There is nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. —Alice Carey. Eclipse of Moon Tonight—Not Visible Here. Tonight's eclipse of the moon will not be vis- ible in the United States, the central line being in the southern Pacific, crossing the islands of Aus- tralia and Tasmania. It will be an annular eclipse, that is an observer in the central line will see the moon projected on the sun, leaving an uneclipsed ring around it. One Year Ago Today in the War.

THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1916. The Leesy Lellor e Soaking It to Unimproved Land. Omeha, July 28.—To the Editor of The Bee: The increase of val ion, which is naturally followed by a raise in assessment on the unimproved city lots in Omaha of 48 per cent, or about 26 per cent more than the increase on improved lots, is nothing more or less than an outrageous socialistic measure. It is, in fact, one of the funda- mental principles of socialism—the viper eating at the heart of the nation. I admit that there are lots and tracts of land that are lying vacant, and in this condition are a drawback to the surrounding property and the city as a whole; but does our value-wise assessor (he who wears out his precious sole leather personaily sizing up every piece of real estute in the county) know that there are vacant lots in the original city owned by people who can neither sell them on ac- count of the depreciation of property in their immediate vicinity, or build upon them because they have not the means to do so: nor can some of them procure the means. Even those that are in a position to raise the money with which to build, cannot build for the very good resson that they can find no tenant for whom to build. If he is aware of the facts he does not seem to give them the consideration. Some of these lots are valued at from 65 to 80 per cent more than the price that they have been, and are now being offered for sale at. It is a fact and I have the proof. Now, Mr. Editor, just a request for a small correction: To my lettér of the 8th inst., published in the “Letter Box” of July 10, under your most appropriate title, “Likes and Dislikes of a Reader,” the lino- type (see, I am throwing the whole blame on the machine! It won't care), mis- spelled the writer's signature. My name should read Walund, not Wah- rend. It will most likely make no difference whatever to the most of The Bee's readers whether the writer's name is Jim or Jack, but as I touched upon the very vital ques- tion, that of the coming prohibition cam- paign, I would like to have the correction made by the publication of this letter, if for nothing else, for the benefit of your “prohib” readers whom I trust are not more numerous than the pesky musca domestica has been so far this torrid summer. A. H. WALUND. The Death Toll of Alcohol. Omaha, July 28.—Tto the Editor of The Bee: Your “Letter Box" has become the tail that flies the kite. It deals only in living in which all people are deeply interested: indeed it has become one of the most interesting departments of your valu- able paper. That column reflects public sentiment as no other department can; it throws light from all angles on local issues and helps to reach correct decisions. It is a | school of politics and morals and is really & benefaction to the community. Mr. High has been represented as over- stating the deaths from alcohol in placing it at 65,000 per annum, Great heavens! It was estimated at 100,000 forty years agol Mr. High is certainly under the mark, The fact is, there are no reliable statistics—not even the government's—on desths caused by aleohol. In the nature of the ecase, there cannot be; indirect deaths are mever traced, and direct ones are rarely reported. Thirty years ago I sat in the office of the leading physician of St. Paul, Minn. An undertaker stepped in and required a certificate of the cause of death. The physician seized a blank and promptly wrote, ‘Pneumonia.” When the undertaker had gone he said, “the man actually died of pneumonis, but it was brought on by alcoholism." “Why did you not say so?" “Do you suppose I'd be fool enough to do that?" Hoboes and social nobodies are correctly reported, when dying from alcoholism, but people of social standing, never. The same is true of accidents and in fatal surgleal operations, admissions to hospitals, asylums, prisons, poor houses, homicides, suicides. Three average citizens were killed at 10 a. m. in the heart of this city two years ago, and nobody knows to this day who killed them. If the police had asked certain sa- loon keepers, they would have found not who, but what killed them. Mr, High is too low in his estimate of deaths from alcohol. The estimate of prison wardens, superintendents of asylums, judges and physicians is that 76 per cent of deaths must be attributed directly or indirectly to aleohol. It will require a million more lives and billions more of dollars to conquer the cen- tral powers than it would have required if the archbishop of Canterbury and his clergy had given up their toddy as their king and cabinet requested. The drive, mow being made, would have been made a year sopner, if the inefficiency of alcohol had not delayed preparation. Alcohol wastes men and money. D. C. JOHN, AROUND THE CITIES. Elkhart, Ind, with four-fifths of its dwelling houses equipped with electricity, lays claim to the title of “the electric city.” Baltimore is advertising its industrial im- portance by the distribution of a million pamphlets entitled “Pied Pipers of Pros- perity.” Boston is exhibiting in the city parks and playgrounds a series of free motion pictures designated to teach hygiene and clean living.

Y., is building a 8,500, 000-gallon reservoir, which is to be en- tirely roofed over with concrete, so that the water supply will be protected from contamination at all times. The Historical society of Delaware pro- poses to buy the old Wilmingten city hall, built in 1798, restore it to its original shape and present it to the city on the condition that it shall be preserved. An American inventor has patented a life-saving suit for aeronauts involving a cushioned cap and back and front pads for the body, communicating so that they can be blown up by a tube extending to the mouth of the aviator, communicating pads being provided on opposite sides of the legs and yielding, spring-supported shoes being car- ried on the feet below the waist, so that in falling the person will full feet foremost.
