No one can truly say that the jitney ordi- b nance is guilty of overspeeding. Villa's troops have been outfitted with new uniforms. That's a sure sign of their degen- eracy. When “Billy” called Omaha & ‘“‘tightwad” he was really just daring us to bring out the money. To the eyes of the A. B. C's.

No difficulty will be experienced in raising the fund to bring the democratic national con- vention to Omaha. The task is simply one of determining the amount needed and passing the word to the state house and the Omaha city hall, It “Billy” could only be persuaded once to attend our beautiful Ak-Sar-Ben ball he might make a special exception to it in his denuncia- tion of dancing, card playing, theater-going and other worldly wickednesses taboo on his list of sinful pleagures.

The dip- lomatic refinement of language will not alter the purpose of the loan, but may soothe some who do not like to look at things in their bare- ness, There never was any question as to the loan being made. It is strictly a commercial transaction, The only negotiation has been over terms and amount and the division of the fat | promotion commission Is Our State Constitution Worn Out? The gathering at Lincoln of 'a group of self- invited citizens for the avowed purpose of set- ting in motion machinery that may ultimately | produce a constitutional convention deserves | at least passing consideration. Those present at the meeting were evidently convinced that our state constitution is completely worn out | and that we need an entirely new garment. The way to alter or amend the .constitution | #0 far has proven its value not only by the facil- ity with which amendment has been accom- plished, but by the security it he&s afforded | against the unwise schemes of pseudo-reformers | to engraft hobbies onto the document. In the forty years that have passed since the present constitution was framed, Nebraska has devel- oped wonderfully, but the ideals and aspirations | ombodied in the fundamental law of the state | are unchanged. The document has been several times amended, that it might more readily an- ‘ swer requirements of changing conditions, yet its foundation remains as broad and secure as When first lald. If the progress of the state— soclal, political and industrial-—has come to that point where a redraft, or & new draft, of the constitution is really desirable, the situation will be met as hi all other crises in the state's short history, with calm firmness. Though #wept by many political winds, Nebraska has | kept pretty close to safe anchorage, and its peo- ple, if given time for sober reflection, may always be counted on for a wise disposition of their own affairs, Dr. Dumba and Free Speech, Dr. Constantin Theodor Dumba, presently de- | parting ambassador from the imperial court of Vienna to the United States, by his appeal to the Wublie, supports and justifies the action taken by { the secretary of state in asking his government to recall him. It is hardly fair to suggest that Dr. Dumba has wilifully mistaken the limit of his privileges as ambassador, but he uses the right of free speech to criticise our government as freely as If he were a citizen here, instead of the representative of a friendly forelgn power. His tnsinuation that he has been treated unfairly by the American government {s unworthy of from making it at this time, when so many other (nfluences are at work seeking to disturb the tranquilifty of American affairs. Secretary Lansing's courteous expression in regard to Dr, Dumba's action fairly fits the case, but it might easily have been made more forceful without exceeding the bounds of propriety. | ——— Reminders for Letter Box Contributors.

He was a very unsophisti- cated old gentieman and rarely w suspicious of anyone. One day one of the deacons requested that prayers should be offered upon three successive Sundays tor Dora Gray, and it was accordingly done. On the fourth Sunday the deacon sought out Parson Barber just before the mcrning service and told him that the piayer need not be repeated. “Indeed?” queried the pastor, with an expression of anxiety, trust Dora's not dead?’ “Oh, ne, York Times.

American Momey for American Ene terprises, | OMAHA, Sept. 18.--To the Editor of The | Be: I am strongly impressed with the protest of Senator J. Hamliton Lews of 1llinols, against the proposition of loan- ing $1,000,000,000 of American money to enable the European nations to continue | their warfare. I am not opposed to this one European power, or to any comb.na- tion of European powers, but because it will withdraw from the available capital of this country this vast sum of money, | which in my judgment should remain at | home and be devoted to the upouilding | of American Interests. Not only that, but those who fear war, which I do not. must pause and consider what would be the result if this morey was withdrawn from our country, thereby lessening our resources in (imes of any great national emergoncy. The bankers who are proposing this loan are not to loan their own money. | Not one of them would invest one dol- lar of his private fortune In any such a venture. They propo the banks all over the (nited States the monies deposited there as the savings of the farmers, the wage earners and the small business enterprises of the country. They are negotlating this loan, not from any patriotic impulse, but simply to secure to themselves the un- doubtedly large bonus given by those for whom the loan is secured. 1 know of no reason in law, and per- haps mot In good conscience, why the American people may not loan their money to who.n they please, and without regard to the purpose. But as a matter of hgher moral ethics the American consclence must revolt from any such action on the part of our people. As I have already sald, we need this money | at home. We can use it to our own ad- vantage. It ls our safeguard in time of | troubie or distress, and as Mr. Lewis | so pertinently says, the chances are that Its withdrawal from our available, usable cash supply, might, and probably would bring on another great panic. To reduce our ney supply by the | withdrawal of $1.0%,00,00 would make | it more diffecult for every man in the | United States to borrow money from our | banks to be used in profitable business enterorises The president has no power to prevent this loan, but uniess he uses his mighty | Influence against it the time will come, and come quickly, when the administra- tion w.ll have only popular censure where it now has popular confidence. JOHN M, THURSTON, OMAHA, Sept. 18.—To the Editor of The Bee: The radical and uncalled for statement of Frank A. Harrison in the state press comes as a shock to the tem- perance forces of the state, though the charge contained therein borders on the ludicrous.
