porlenco to tho benefit of tholr gov

popular thought, but It 1b qucstiona
bio whother tho pension should coma
from prlvato sources. It would bo
fnr nioro compatible with national
dlgintty to provide tho pension out
of tho public treasury.
Tho Bovcrnmont has several times
allowed widows of cx-presldents
$6,000 a year, so tho present sug
gestion violates no established
prlnclplo or polity. On tho other
hand, wo bellcvo It would prove
generally acceptable, for the convic
tion Is growing as a product of an
Intensely pragmatic ago, that tho
country should continue to havo nt
Its service the men It has exalted to
its highest office and that udequato
provision 'should bo mado to main
tain tho dignity of that offtco In

Tho history of tho United States

blight of adversity permitted to fall
upon an ex-president,, yhllq there

contingency, other cogent reasons
urge action. It Would bo entirely

spirit of a free nation to permit tho
pension to bo paid from the pro

Labor and Party Politics.
The effort to convert tho Amer

By a Vote of XU to 9)7 the. British
House of Commons, last Tuesday, adopted
the government's financial proposal for
Ireland under home rule, thereby rescind

week. The net result of the unionist
trick division Is a week's delay In reach
Ing a final vote on the measure. A elev-

But It threw a searchlight on the Intense

when obstructive tactics provoked a riot

viewed the affair with smug astonish

-featured by the record of achievements
the British liberal ministry affords a con
crete base for .the unshaken confidence
of t supporters. It has effected a
mighty constitutional change In limiting
the veto of the House of Lords, shitted

Street Car Nuisance.
OMAHA, Nov, -To the Editor of
The Bee: I am pleased to find that one
paper In Omaha has enough "spirit to at
tack one of Omaha's serious problems.
In the Sunday Issue of the Bee, W. W.
earnestly requests the publlo to heed
the old war cry; "Mova up In front!"
True, tho fault Is not all on tio part
of the street railway company. The habits
of many street car users do little to aid
the difficulty.
First, there Is the persop, he or she,
who cannot decide until the last moment
whether he wishes to get off or not. Then
he comes rushing over the corns of the
ether passengers. There Is also tho ono
who blockH the exit until the car comes
to a completo stop, allowing no one who
may be more nimble-legged to got off be
fore him.
There are also those who bring In large
suitcases and plant them In tho aisle
Alo the person who occupies the room
of two, and tho man who hastily seats
hlrasolf In the ptace vacated by a gentle
man for the benefit of a lady.
True, the cars should not bo so crowded
or so late, that it should be necossarj
to pass one up, but usually there is
another car within sight.
If the ventilation Is poor, as one reader
complains, the vontllatora can bo easily
ppened by any Intelligent passenger.
Owing to the length of our streot cars
you get oft In the middle of tho next
block If you uee the front exit. This Is
inconvenient when the streets are slushy.
as usually only the 'crossing are kept
clear. Terhaps this will explain the re
luctance of some to move up front Per
haps this Is an argument tor the car
stopping on the near aide.
The gentleman remarks that there IS
room for ten people to stand. Fine! Who
shall stand, a poor worklngman or girl
who has been on his or her foot all
day, or some shopper who has decided
to come home In the rush hour? Why
should anyone stand? We are not cattle
to be driven "up front" In order that the
least possible number' of cars may be
used by the street railway company. We
each pay S cents. Usually If there are
seats In the forward part of the car or
elsewhere, someone will find them.
Again W, W. may be a stockholder in
stead of a straphanger. C. P.
Pair Play for Bird.
BEATRICE, Neb.. Nov. a. To the
Editor of Tho Bee: Would you not give
this thought publicity through The Bee
regarding the useless destruction of what
little of th wild animals and birds we
have left in .Nebraska.
It I a known fact that If a strange
bird or rare animal of any kind is seen
at once a great crowd of men and boys
Join In the chase for Its extermination.
The local paper adds glory by publish
ing the name of the killer
Many years atro our state was famed
for our many wild animals and birds

competent ana confident, British re
actionaries buffet aa uselessly and break
as noisily aa angry waves on Britain'
rocky headlands.
Itepnbllc In JVante Only,
"China s a republic n name only,
The same force In control before the
change are In control now." Buch Is
the view expressed by J. O. P. Bland, an
Englishman, for many yeara an official
of the Chinese government nnd formerly
secretary of Sir Itobert Hart, ef the
Chinese maritime customs service. Mr,
Bland I n this country to deliver a ser
ies of lectures at the Lowell Institute In
Boston and at Cornell university, "The
nepublln of China as at present consti
tuted," eald Mr. Bland In an interview,
"Is merely the olfl dlspotlRm under a new
name, but It would smell as sweet under
any other dlelgnatlon. President Yuan, for
Instance, beheads his political enemies
without the slightest thought of grant
ing them a trall-a policy well ingrained
Into Chinese procedure, but In his caso
more despotically carried out than by
tho Manohus In their 'later years. The
Chlncso Btudents who are led to hopeful
forecasts for their country hopelessly
lose touch with tho deep-rooted customs
and beliefs which dominate their stay,
at-home countrymen, and these are what
dominate the government. They have
never thought of arr election, rcglstra.
tlon list, or a census of the country for
election purposes. The government body
at Peking Is composed merely of an Irre
sponsible nnd self-elected group of polltl
cal adventurers, and their position has
never been regularised by the usual pro
cesses of popular elections. The so-called
courts of Juitlo alleged to have been
Inaugurated recently exist only on paper,
and their code Is constructed of the samo
material.
First Aids for Illiterate.
The Russian government could hardly
be convicted on the charge of educa-,
Uonal cramming. Enlightenment of the.
masses might prove annoying, If not
dangerous, to the ruling system, and 1st
therefore restricted to a small percent
age of the population. But the benevo
lent powers that be provide a system Of
educational signs which are readily
grasped by tho multitude of Illiterates.
By painted pictures of the wares In the,
shop the Russian peasant knows where
he Is at. Printed signs are useless, re
lates tho Oriental lleview. The baker
displays counterfeit presentments of hla
rolls, loaves and cakes; the fish dealer
presents likenesses of tho denizens of the
deep, and the tea seller hangs up a picture
of teacups and saucers. The care of the
sophisticated city dweller for his less
favored brother docs not stop here. In
order to make It easer for him to find
his way about, the houses are painted in
various bright colors. When he wants to
go home he need not attempt to solve
the puzzlo of the timetables. A simple
system of bells does away with all this
troube. When one bell rlpgs he stll has
fifteen minutes to wait. When two are
sounded he has only five minutes, and
when three, peal forth his train starts.
Does ho recelvo a lotter which he wshea
deciphered? The payment of 2 cents to
a man at the postofflce does the busi
ness. Would he send a post card to
someone? It can be done for IH cents.
A long letter will coat him 6 cents. The
addressing of a letter Is half a cent.
Where shall he mall It? Over there where
he sees a picture of a post card or of a
letter. .
but wlpod out of existence until now a
mink or otter or beaver In our creeks

Month OnmUn'A Plaint.
SOUTH OMAHA. Nov. 21. To tho
Editor of The Bee: I notice In the even
Ing Bee "More Care for Omahu." Let us,
as citizens of South Omaha, change this
to "More Cars for Bouth Omaha."
I talked with a man today who informed
me he lived In South Omaha and worked
in Omaha, in order to be at work on
time he had to get up at 3:30 a. m. and
walk. There are others who do the same
thing. Many others are obliged to walk
to their homes In South Omaha after
cars have.' stopped runlnc, or wait for the
morning cars.
Wouldn't tt be fair to give Bouth
Omaha a car once each hour after mid
ntght. It sems to me there would be no
mopey lost by the street car company
and would be a grand, good thing for the
South Omaha citizens.
Rent Is tnuoh .cheaper tn Bouth Omaha
and this would afford apportunlty for
people to live In South Omaha and work
tn Omaha. It this matter Is looked Into

The Woman Makes the Home
She makes it best who, looking
after the culinary department,
turns her back resolutely upon
unhealthful, or even suspicious,
food accessories. She is econom
ical; she knows that true economy
does not consist in the use of
inferior meat, flour, or baking
powder. She is an earnest advo
cate of home made, home baked
food, and has proved the truth of
the statements of the experts that
the best cooking in the world
today is done with Royal Baking
Powder.

HIS GLORIOUS END.

Beside hi bed at night they stood ari l

They thanked tho Lord, upon their knec.
because he waa their very own,
With freedttn from deformities and sound
In mind and flesh and bone.
His childhood eagerly they sought tc

dcretand.
They guided him through boyhood's wa s
and smoothed his path as best they
could;
They cheered him with their earnest
praise and taught him to be strong
and good;
They learned In fancy to behold tho glory
that should bo his right
When they were bent and gray and old;
'twas he that made their future
bright.
Today they sit beside his bed; tholr
hearts are sad, their eyes are dim)
The splendid hope they bad are dead
and others pity them and him;
But, though he ne'er shall walk again,
why should they hopelessly repine?
Hla alma mater triumphed when lie
pushed tho ball across the line.

Clever
Milkman
writes us that he warms his
milk-wagon on cold days
with a Perfection Oil
Heater.
He makes his rounds
in comfort. Zero weath

This milkman has
adapted this wonderful
little heater to his own
particular needs.
You may not drive a
milk-wagon, but there are
countless ways in which
one of these heaters would
be a convenience and
comfort to you in your
home. You can adapt it to
your own requirements.
