Nebraska Road: A recent report of the federal department of roads placed Nebraska among the lowest of the slates in the number of miles of permanent sur- faced roads, but this condition promises to be changed if plans matured in various sections of the state are carried to fruition, seedling miles having been completed In several places, to which additions are to be made as funds are available. One thing which outsiders do not appreciate, however, in reaching conclusions concerning the roads of the state, is the natural eofl *drainage in most sections of Nebraska, which renders permanent surfacing less imper- ative than in most places. More significant by far of the prospective improvement of roads in general Is the way the smaller cities, villages ond rural communities are taking up the matter cf scientific construction of dirt roads. Outside of the funds created by taxation for road purposes hundreds of towns and rural com- munities are raising money by subseription for road work, sandy stretches are being graded and clayed, muddy and waterlogged portions also graded and drained, hills cut down and a general awakening manifest to the commercial value of better roads. It is nothing uncommon to find small towns subscribing from $1,000 to $3,000 | for alding country communities to improve the roads leading to the towns and what is more sig- nificant still as bearing on the results this work when undertaken by private funds is not done by the typical township road overseer and his wasteful methods and unsatisfactory results, but Ly skilled road builders who make that their business and provide themselves with the facil- ities for doing the work. Moreover, many coun- ties in Nebraska will in ten years, at the present 1ate of progress, have every trunk line road scientifically constructed. The automobile, espe- clally since the farmers have become extensive nwers of the machine, has been the most potent factor in bringing the people who most needed K0ood roads to a realization of their value and no longer Is the position of road overgeer looked upon as a joke or a sinecure for some man who simply needed the money or was greedy enough to grab for it. The major portion of Nebraska is still too sparsely settled and the traffic vol- ume too light to expect an extensive program of tullding permanent surface roads immediately, | but with the character of the soil as it is in most sections, it Is possible to have a system of dirt roads that will be the pride and joy of those vho travel them How Many War Viotims? The estimate of 5,000,000 men killed in the war put out by Colonel Heussler, the Swiss military statisticlan, exceeds every calculation of war losses hitherto published. General Greene, in a talk at West Point in September, placed the year's dead at 2,000,000, Up to October 11 the Rotterdam Courant computed the total casualties of Germany, Austria and ‘turkey at 5,000,000 men. British casualties for the same time, officially reported, totaled 493,- 204. French and Russian losses are unknown, but probably not less than the Teutonic loss. Assuming the correctness of the later estimates, Colonel Heussler's computation comes pretty close to a truthful measure of war's havoc to date. Booker T. Washington. In the death of Booker T. Washington a really towering figure hag disappeared from life’s activities. He has stood not only for the best ideals of his race, but what is of vastly more importance, he has worked along practical lines for the realization of those ideals, and his doath is not alone a distinctive loss to the col- ored race but to the white as well, for the prob- lems of the colored people are also the problems of the white in a large measure under our po- litical and Industrial system, Since the ending of slavery, two really strong men of the negro blood stand out. Not that the race has produced but two men of marked ability, but those who bave places fixed in history are Frederick Doug- lass and Booker T. Washington. The former performed a great service for his people in settling their political and civil status in the formative period following emancipation. His talents commanded the respect and attention of the white man at a time when it was absolutely essential if the problems following the changed conditions were to be solved, and in this respect the people of his race owe him a debt of per- petugl gratitude. Fully as commanding a figure is Booker Washington, though he addressed him- celf to a different problem—the economic and social uplift of his race. The great institution 8L Tuskegee stands as the most conspicuous mionument to his genius, and from that institu- tion and the teaching of Washington has ema- rated an influence sure to be permanent. Industry, thrift, education and character bullding have been the keynotes of Booker Washington's preachments. It was a herculean task which he set for himself, but, with the help of those whom he inspired, wonders have been accomplished. That the work is finished his most enthusiastic admirer would not assert, for that there yet remain too many, both of his own people and of the white race, who either do not understand or live up to the ideals which he taught, is too patent. Yet he accomplished won- ders and it will need be a large man who can step In and take up the work where he lald it down. Ain't It a Joke? The new principal of the High School of Commerce lets it be known that in writing recommendations for boys golng out of that school, he will include on the information card whether or not the boy smokes gigarettes. The High School of Commerce principal is a late- comer here and is doubtless ignorant of the fact that we have on the statute books of this state a luw which prohibits and penalizes the sale of cigarettes, not to boys alone, but to one and all. That law, however, as every one is aware, is as much of a dead letter as the wholly disregarded “no-treat” law, and as a consequence cigarettes are sold as freely to minors as to adults, because ‘t 18 no more of an offense. Yet the law-makers who pretend to take themselves seriously have ropeatedly refused to modify our anti-cigarette law, and make it enforceable against the sale to school-boys, where alone such sale might be tarmful. It certainly is a huge joke for a high' school principal to put a cigarette smoking item on a recommendation card in a state where cigarette selling without exception is illegal. — , One credit mark may be given the Bulgars. King Ferdinand does not attempt to hide or pai- liate the national appetite for territorial loot. THE BEE: Aimed at Omaha Nebraska City Press: The Lincoln Journal in de- ploring the fact that without an election this fall it will be necessary, on account of ballot congestion next year, either to revert to the annual election plan or make the ballot shorter, hits only haif the nall, Just as The Omaha Bee says. It is not necessary to | revert to the annual election plan to correct the evil | of congestion and bewilderment of the votes—which surely will be the case next year. We have too many elective offices In Nebraska. The Omana Bee 's a ploneer in this much-needed reform and the Press Is not far behind, having advocated this thing for several years. The short ballot is as necessary as any other reform we can think of at this particular moment. The less elective officials the lesa politics in public office holding: the more appointive officials, under proper civil service regulations, the more ef- ficlency and the more service for the money ex- pended. Let that glad day come. Norfolk Press: “Billy" Sunday's wholesale con- signment of Omaha citizens to the lower regions has at least had the effect of arousing the interest of citizens of the metropolis in that place of future | Abode, if one may judge from the columns of learned dissertations now appearing in the letter box col- umns of the newspapers of the city. Blue Springs Sentinel: That must be a viclous | atmosphere they have in Omaha that would cause Richard L. Metoalfe to turn against his bosom friend, W. J. Bryan, on account of the fact that Bryan would make the democracy of the state a practical political factor in its support of the prohibitory amendment. Humphrey Democrat: The political ring of Omaha s again putting itself on the map by trying to hold up Gene Melady, promoter of the Hussane-Stecher match, for the use of the Auditorfum in which to hold the match. Farmer Burns, S8andy Griswold and a number of the other sports of Omaha have lost quite & bunch of money betting against Stecher and ever #ince that they have been trying to make out that “Honest Joe" is a faker and a mediocre wreatler. The Omaha bunch may be able to keep Stecher from ap- pearing in Omaha, but in doing #o they will only hurt themselves, for Joe is too popular throughout the state to have anything the “Omaha knockers” may say about him, reduce his standing for honesty. Newman Grove Reporter: The editor of The Omaha Bee feels reileved because the war is not to increase the price of dlamonds. Nebraska City Press: Newlyweds in Omaha who have been deprived of their educational privileges before marriage need not be embarrassed or humili- | ated. The Board of Education has made it possible for young married people to attend night school to- gether and make up for what they missed in the grade schools. It is a unique plan and a good one, Lincoln Star: A woman writes to say that if Omaha would give as much money to a bunch of ®ood workers and let them hire a nurse to care for the sick and feed the poor, “they would Wive more church members at the end of a year than they will have after the meetings are over.” Undoubtedly this woman Is correct, but what of that? Omaha people wouldn't do such a thing. It takes Sunday and his religlous ragtime to dynamite the coln from the Omaha pocket. Twice Told Tales The Wrong House. Hard luck had struck Johnson a fearful blow. Ia @esperation he took on a job to sell books from door to door, All down one strest he went without making a .single sale. Then, turning the corner, he determined to try a new method. The first house he came to was large and shabby, and a frowsy female answered his knock. “Have you a Charles Dickens in your house?’ he asked politely. “No" snapped the female. ‘Or a Robert Louls Stevenson?" No!" 'Or Walter Scot! asked Johnson, hope dancing momentarily in his eyes. “No, we ain’t!” salg the woman sharply. “And, What's more, this ain't a boarding house. If you're looking for them fellers, you might try mnext door; they take lodgers!"—New York Times. No Question of It. A gentleman who was in France during the early stages of the war tells an amusing story of one of the hionable ladles who were among the nurses in the hospitals there. She saw a wounded man being carried into camp. ““Is that an officer or only a man?' she asked, pointing to the figure on the stretcher, One of the bearers answered: “Well, mum, he certainly ain't an officer, but 'e's been ‘it twice in the innard: nd we've dropped 'm three times and ‘e ain't squeaked yet, and if ‘e ain't & man I don't know what ‘e is."—London Tit-Bits, Kisses for Charity, Nearly all the youth of the nelghborhood attended the charity bazaar, and one by one they drifted to a Stall where a tiny, shapely, scented gray kid glove re. posed on a satin oushion. Attached to the cushion Was a notice, written in a delicate feminine hand, which ran: “‘The owner of this glove will, at 7:30 this even- ing, be pleased to kiss any person who purchases & ticket beforehand.” Tickets were purchased by the score, and at 7:30 & long row of young men assembled outside the stall, Then, punctual to the moment, old Tom Porson the local butcher, who weighs 200 pounds and is al. most as beautiful as a side of bacon, stepped to the front of the stall. longs to me.

PETER, Chairman. WALTER ROSICKY, Seeretary. Go to It, You Common People! CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—To the Editor of The Bee: President Wilson quotes six passages of scripture from Ezekial to prove that God, through the Bible, sanc- tions wai Billy Bryan quotes gente life and Jesus as against war. Now comes V. A. Bradshaw of North Platte justifylng “Billy” Sunday as against some anti-Sundayites. Setting aside the fact that there are reported to be 600 contending schisms in the Christian religion, these three con- tentions of present specific knowledge are sufficlent to prompt the Inqui y as to what the Christian religion is. Sure! The Christlan religlon is like other religions—it is a Jack-pot organiza- tion by the crafty few to control the minds of the many. This applies not only to religion and priests, but to political parties and politicians as well, and for what purposes of control, authority, government, and the pecuniary iInterests connected with it. As a political mountebank, Billy Bryan takes the lead . in this country (Roose- velt having subsided, but his photograph we still have with us). Contemplate a preacher as president of the United States, setting apart a day of universal prayer by the preachers of the same beseeching God to stop the war in Burope, and In the next breath quoting six passages of scripture to show that we should prepare to go into war ourselves. Most emphatically this does show that religion is the basis of political action by arbitrary power to control the minds and bodies of an unsuspecting people. Politicians who have been sitting on an office for the last fifteen or twenty years, like old hens on similar nests, should get off the perch or be boosted off. The country demands & change to the living trom the dead—that change of Wwhich Jefferson and Lincoln spoke. These things can be secured only by the com- mon people through direct action and & well defined purpose. Go to it, you common people! LUCIEN STEBBINS. | Editorial Siftings Boston Transcript: The Spanish budget for 1916 shows a deficit of $13,000,000. When did Spain go democratic? Cleveland Plain Dealer: The president’'s quotation of scripture as a basis for national defense is perhaps considered by Bryan as a blow at him below the belt. Philadelpbia Ledger: It is said that the president tried to get Mr. Bryan and Sonator Hitcheock to divide Nebraska's share of the spolls between them. The only difficulty in belleving the assertion is the fact that in a truly good reform administration there cannot Dbe any spolls. ' Indianapolis News: ‘““The board of in- ventors,” declares Prof. Taft, “is as Im practical as a board of opera singers. And perhaps it is; but war would have been a very different thing today if it had not been for the work of the in- ventors, however impractical it may ap- pear. Springfield Republican: A moving actors have been fined $% aplece at | Keeseville, N. Y., under the statute for- bidding cruelty to animals.

Ir exceeding 3,000,000,000 bushels, shows what a self-made crop can do against a world of trouble. Pittsburgh Dispatch: Thanks to the ex- ceptional October weather, which re- versed the pessimists, this year's corn crop is the most valuable the United States ever grew, practically a $2,000,000,00) crop. Only once has it been exceeded in size, three years ago, but it is 16 per cent larger than last year's and d4 per cent larger than the five-year average. W New York World: The November crop report adds the mere trifle of 64,000,000 bushels to the great corn crop as Indi- cated a month ago. It about $00,000,000 to the value of the prin- clpal crops this year over what was last year the record-breaking total of 5 000,000. This may help explain why the country has been able to take up a for elgn loan of $00,0000 without any ap- preciable cffort. Washington Post: No longer is the United States depending upon war orders from Europe for national prosperity. The purchasing of arms and ammunition, which undoubtedly gave the first impulse to prosperity, resulted in the expenditure of enormous sums of money in other in. dustries, and with a record-breaking crop in sight the railroads, barometers of pros- | perity, are at last working their way out of the financial desert. Crops rather than munitions of war are now the chlef basis for American prosperity, The prin- cipal farm crops this year are worth $5.500,000,000, exceeding by more than $300,- 000,000 their value in 1914, the previous banner value year in the country's crop history.
