Receiving Foreitnt Gifts.
President Wilson has addressed a
letter to congress through Vico Presi
dent Marshall asking - permission,
which presumably will bo granted -as
a matter of course, to accept from
England a bust of William Pitt, the
older, the great British premier. If
as Btate, this Is the first such re
quest ever addressed to congress,
still it is not tho first timo wo have
been offered gifts by other nations,
as recall, among others, tho German
emperor's proffer of tho bust ot
Frederick tho Great to President
Roosovclt. Mr. Itoosovolt, who
.might have accepted It but for tho
friendly advice of oldor heads, how
ever, addressed no requests to con
gress ou tho subject.
Tho point may bo raised that tho
federal constitution forbids tho ac
ceptance of such gifts In this pro
scription: No person holding any office of profit
or trust under them (tho United States)
shall, without the consent of congress,
accept of any present, emolument, office
or title of any kind whatsoever from any
king, prince or foreign state.
Although tho president has laid
tho matter beforo congress, tho con
stitution rofera only to porsonal gifts,
and InBtead of thoso mado, such as
this would be, to tho government.
A bust of Pitt, tho groat commoner,
author of tho statement, "England
has no right under heaven to tax tho
colonists," would socm on general
principles a more fitting token to
this republic than tho busts of some
of his UlustrlouB contemporaries.

Army Graft In Germany.
Three lieutenants and four noncommis
sioned officers of the Germany army ar
on trial before a military court In Berlin
on the charge of revealing military' se
crets. The trial grew out of Dr. lleb
knecht's charge In the Itelchstar that
money was being used by the ICrupps,
famous manufacturers of armament, to
secure advance Information of German
! military and naval projects and In the
manufacture of war scares for business
results. The noted socialist leader forti
fied his charge of mercenary graft with
documents revealing such collusion that
the ministry .could not ignore thS gravity
of the accusations, and a public trial In
the result. The aooused officers, In their
testimony, admitted having given mili
tary Information to the resident agent
of the Krupps, because they believed th.i
Krupps were on such Intimate terms with
the government that no harm could, re
suit. Tho resident agent ot the gunmak
era Is a Jolly, genial fellow, as entertain

to champagne suppers frequently, and

that financial favors were pressed upon
him on the store of friendship. The rela

loquacious military men were of the

sides, and the details revealed at the
trial up far are filling the political maga
lines of tho socialists with high-grade
ammunition.

complained, waa simply a device to get

bill was to enable the government to

Temperance In .Ireland,
The cause of temperance Is making
steady, It not rapid, strides In Ireland,
and for the fret time since the days of
Father Matthew the people appear de
termined upon a concerted effort to rid
the country of the stigma of drunken
ness. In Monaghan, In the province of
Ulster, there was recently a very marked
and sympathetic demonstration In favor
of thla temperance movement and later
on Drogheda and other towns In the north
of' Ireland followed suit The size of the
meetings and the enthusiasm ot those

In their desire to rid Ireland forever pf
which, at one time, had become almost
a national disgrace. The cause or tem

The Fish In Carter Lake.
OMAHA, Aug. 7.-To the Editor .of The
Bee: I object to the seining of Carter
lake for the following reasons:
It is done under pretense ot setting
out the carp, but In reality to get n lot
ot game fish for thoso who have the
price to pay for what they want A oond
of $300 Is no protection for tho game fish
The carp Is sold to the poor man, and Is
Ihe poor man's fish, and Is as jood as
bass when properly cooked. Before tho
draining began fishing was good, if the
state game warden wants to do noma
good let him sclno out the baw. crapple
and other game minnows on the east
side of the lake on the park grounas.
Fifteen thousand same fish can be saved,
but In ten days they will bo dead. Don't

OMAHA, Aug. &. To tho Editor nf The
Bee: I will believe that men are smurter
than women when I find ono voter In ten
who knows the, first principles of political
economy, and Is not Influenced In his
choice of candidates by his employer, his
Personal friends, his ambition for graft
ing or his desire for revenge. When men
vote for candidates who are noted for
their stern morality, their fitness and
willingness to do their duty; when men
refuse to support those whose desire for
office Is prompted by mean and despica
ble) motives. I will then believe that men
may, perhaps, be smarter than women.
When I hear men unholding the idea that!
whiskey, because It makes us feel old
when we drink It, will lengthen our lives
and restoro the vigor of youth; when thoy
tell me that midnight banquets, high
pressuro excitements and a ridiculous
display of club house Ignorance will make
a young man a gentleman, I pause and
reflect-that If men are smarter than
women, female Ignorance must Indeed be
deplorable. I will believe men are su
perior In Intellect when they can regulate
their conduct by the common dictates of
morality and experience; when they cease
to sacrifice Innocence and vlrtuo on the
altars of lust; when they can expel their
selfish and narrow sentiments and think
as rational creatures ought to thlnlc.
The way the political and social bal
ance now stands there Is not one iota of
evidence In favor of men being smarter
than women.
Truo wisdom Is nothing more .than pure
goodness of heart, and to compare men
and women by this standard of excel
lence would bo like comparing Belzebub
with St. Peter. Competition In the mar
riage, market has mado women more or
less a slave to the powder rag, but the
competition "of the Industrial world has
has made man, with all his self-rlteous-ness,
a buyer and seller of white slaves,
a parasite drawing his nourishment from
the body and blood of children, an in
ventor of wild-cat arguments by which
he overpowers his conscience, and a cir
culator of that extravagant piece of non-
sense that women are not sufficiently In
telligent to cast a sensible vote when a
city admits that prostitution Is necessary,
and the only question up for decision is
whether It shall be scattered or segre
gated, and when it is considered danger
ous to marry a man who cannot produc
a health certificate. It strikes me tha.
women, oven If they have nothing to
recommend them but virtue, might take
a hand In this wonderful science of poll
tics without Injuring the feelings of even
the most tender hearted1 man In the
country. It requires no more wisdom
to vote than It does td baltq a batch ot

Or turn from the plaint of my tender

Ere ever ye camo I was ancient,' and

The voice that Bhall lift In rapture when

SHERIDAN, Wyo Aug. 6,-To the
Editor of The Bee: The columns of The
Boe's Letter Box are still filled with .the
effusions ot "E. O. M." whose mind
seoms to be overflowing with the general
wickedness of humanity. It brings to
the reader's mind the question ot where
he spends his tlmo and what are his
principal associations that he so con
tinually harps on th evils he claims to
be everywhere oxlstent
There aro so many beautiful things in
Omaha, so many elevating Influences, so
many noble men and women, that B. O,
ItL should find his life too full ot all
that Is grand and good there for him to
let his brain emanations be so morbid.
We should Insist on his searching for
the cream of life and not be ever swim
ming In the iilth and scum of the cesspools.
His last diatribe Is upon the awtu
Influence ot that simple little picture.
'September Morn. It Is difficult to con
celve what evil thoughts could arise from
gating upon the apparently shivering
maiden tn that picture. The first thought
that came to the writer on seeing the
little lady was that she was sadly In
need of a warm suit of clothes. But E. O.
M. first sees In It that which woUid 'In
flame the sleeping passions of the com
mon, Ignorant roan." How does he know.
and on what personal feelings docs he
Judge?
He says that Mickey O'Rttey should be
prosecuted for placing It over his saloon
bar, and then adds this Incomprehensible,
addled, contusing sentence; "The pictures
of a female form hung In a studio are
sufficient to elevate tho soul to the high
est pitch of ecstacy and contemplation,
but suspend tho same picture on the
walls ot a dramshop and tho daughters
of poverty and the sons of the working
class are greatly hindered In their battle
against temptation." Will E. O. M. please
tell what he alms to convey to the reader,
and also tell us In what way a picture
hanging In a dramshop can hinder the
daughters of poverty and the sons of the
working class In their battle against
temptation? And will he also tell us how
anyone will find out these pictures are
hanging In the dramshops unless he fre
quents such places to such an extent
that he becomes a teacher on such sub
jects? And here Is another sentence that
Is a clincher: "Think not miserable
wretches, that your thoughts are thlr
thoughts; think not that whisky taken
through a straw Is Intoxicating, or that
the madness of a sick gentleman tor
mented by snakes and bobcats can be
compared to the Insanity ot a common
bum suffering from delirium tremens."
Again we cannot help exclaiming In an
outburst of agonised amaxement, what
and whsre have been K. O. M.'s associa
tions that his mind ts overflowing with
such thoughts? As a physician of ovei
thirty years' practice, the writer has
never seen or heard ot "a sick gentleman
tormented by snakes and bobcats," or
that whisky taken through a straw ma
not be Intoxicating. It Is surely another
proof thpt E. O. M. Is laboring under a
severe attack ot mental hallucinations
himself.
In c.oslng let us say that the readers of
The Bee's Letter Box may well hope that
E. O. M. may Improve In both his per
sonal associations and his panegyrics,
