Still, ~ on a pinch, a man fuming over a frac- - tured tire'is sure of a crowd of sym- pathetic advisers. Y While the sharks have materially diminished swimming at the Jersey beaches, bathing in the sand furnishes an abundance of the shapely scenery which draws the crowd. Canada, Russta and France are ne- gotiating for loans in this country. National trade combineg may be use- ful as a bluff, but the try control- ling essential goods is bound to get sthe business. The ‘national platform of the pro- Hibitionists declares unequivocally - fof 'a one-term presidency .and the prohibition candidate just dares the voters to put him to the test to prov that he means it.

And have not both of ‘them had a try for the governorship the interval? — } Now the discussion tenters on nicthods of discussing a settlement of . the disputed questions between the United States and Mexico. By the time the preliminaries are discussed to a finish, some Carranza knocker .~ will toss a bomb and disturb the or- derly current of debate. As a con- A way everybody un- derstands the war order business of _the country is immense. Scattering figures of isolated orders and esti- is with imposed secrecy. The Phila. delphia Ledger succeeded in lifting the veil and gathered from' authentic . sources a showing of staggering in- dustrial wealth flowing from Europe's struggle. The total of verified war orders placed in this country east of Chi- cago to date foots up $3,000,000,000. Besides munitions the figures include amachinery, locomotives, blankets and other products required in prosecute ing war, Twenty-four corporations account-for $1,000,000,000 of the ag- gregate orders placed up to February of this year, and five of them booked ders ranging from $100,000,000 to W The bureau of foreign ‘domestic commerce places the $446,000,000, which is only a starter,’ st orders of this clags are con- inuous, »:u calling for delivery as e ; Atimulus to our industries, The onition to put our house in order return to normal business condi- #4:not prematuge, . consumer i not in on the joyride, the | | And pray why should not “Brother of munition shipments to date’ Place for a Big Reform. The order for postoffice co-operation with the federal reserve banks in the new: check-clearing project suggests that there are other places in our government administration where an immense economy could be effected by taking full advan- tage of the postal facilities instead of adhering to costly old-fashioned methods merely because they have been inherited from times gone by. This is particuladly true in the mafter of “serving” papers connected with court processes, The federal reserve bank is going to let the postoffice make check collections ‘at points where there are no member banks to do the work and charge for the service the usual rates for postage, registry and money transmission, In federal bankruptcy cases, the mails are now employed to | give notice to creditors but in our state courts, | from top to bottom, we are still sending out bailiffs, constables and sheriffs to “serve” sub- poenas, citations and summonses and add ridicu- lous fees and mileage claims to inflated cost bills, outrageously loaded down in other items as well, This is what makes litigation so expensive as to become almost a denial of justice to the poor man and to make many people forego their legal rights rather than invoke their remedy at law. There is no good reason whatever why a subpoena or a summons or other ordinary legal paper should not be “served” by the letter carrier in his usual rounds at postage rates. The result- ant savings each year would mount into the mil- lions of dollars and the new way would be at least as efficient as the old. A far-reaching reform like this could not be accomplished without legislation nor without put- ting a lot of people out of their jobs and conse- quently arraying them against the needed legisla- tion. Naturally the various bar associations would be expected to take the initiative in bringing' antiquated court methods up to date, but, if the record of other reforms is”our guide, they will never do it until stirred to action from the out- side. A popular demand, however, can be made loud enough to secure an answer from those who are responsible. Blacklist a Boomerang. The flareback of the British blacklist for American firms is likely to do the cause of the Entente Allies infinitely more harm than will re- sult to American trade, Diplomats generally are amazed at the stupidity of the policy that per- mitted the announcement at a time when France is seeking a large loan in the United States. This is only one phase of the affair. Firms involved in the British boycott had long been aware of the displeasure under which they were resting, and publicity could not render their situation any more embarrassing. To notify Americans gen- erally that certain of their fellows had been pro- scribed is not at all likely to increase sympathy or support for the British, but will surely arouse resentment that must affect relations between the countries for many yéars. The fact that in some degree British action is predicated on knowledge gained from letters intercepted in passage on neutral ships will not improve the feeling. | American neutrality has been of immense service to the Entente Allies, and why it should be strained as it has been by the blacklist is beyond comprehension, even of those who are most fa- miliar with the general course of British diplo- macy, " 4 S—— American History and the Schools, When General Leonard Wood went before the teachers assembled in New York at the conven- tion of the National Teachers’ association, he spoke very plainly on some matters that are close to army men, One of his pregnant points is thus reported in the New York Times: History is too superficially taught here, How many of our children leave school with a ge of the fact that we have never fought & war without aid when we engaged a first-class power? We have lllozetger too much of the Fourth of July style of oratory, ‘all too much of the type of man who speaks of & million springing to arms between sunrise and sunset. We have been sitting up nights for .three weeks, to see 30,000 men spring, and it is a very heavy spring. The truth of this observation is what makes it weighty. It is no credit to our intelligence that children, while at school, are given a distorted ides of what actually occurred, but it is a fact that only the most meager bits of our true history are furnished them. For example, almost every ‘child soon learns of the brave words: “Millions for defense, but not a cent for tributel” and "cherishes themalways as typical of American spirit. But how many of them, even after at- taining maturity, ever learn that when those words were uttered the congress had no money, and no means of getting any? How many of ‘them ever learn of the experiences of Franklin at Paris, of Adams in Holland and of Lee in Spain? They need to be taught this, and also to learn as much about the battle of Bladensburg as they do of the battle of New Orleans, Patriotism will not suffer if the child at school be taught the whole truth about his native coun- try, and it be impressed upon him that his first duty is always to his country, The liberty he lives under was bought by blood, and can not be maintained by words alone. L ] Scriptures as a Cipher Code. The convenience of the Bible is exhibited in its use as a cipher code, citations of passages be- ing adopted by missionaries in Turkey to convey information of their situation to their country- men in America, This is not the first time that Holy Writ has performed such service, its lan- guage frequently having served to carry secular as well as spiritual information. Had the Turks been as familiar with the Holy Scriptures as they are with the Koran, perhaps the news would have been held up. The episode has a peculiar inter- est in Omaha, for it recalls one witty passage at the Methodist General Conference here in 1892, Bishop Fowler, who was presiding, had some dif- ficulty in controlling Editor James M. Buckley, who was pressing his point with unusual vigor. Dr. Buckley finally emerged with a reference to the first part of the citation from the Psalm quoted by the missionaries. Like a flash, Bishop Fowler came back with the second clause, and the shout of laughter that went up from the delegates is still ringing through Methodist circles. Fa- miliarity with the Book of Books is serviceable elsewhere than in religious services, E— According to the superintendent of the New York Anti-Saloon league, $200,000 is being raised to promote the prohibition campaign in South Dakota this year. He does not give the figure of Nebraska's allotment, but, on a corresponding population basis, the prohibition campaigners in this state are entitled to at least $500,000, THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 23, Thought Nugget for the Day, A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content, And peace and enjoyment tomorrow; But a Sagbath profaned, whatever be gained, Is a certain forerunner of sorrow. —Anonymous.

T IS interesting to note that the competition for the nomination for president at the prohibi- tion national convention at St. Paul this last. week narrowed down between J. Frank Hanly and Will- iam Sulzer, the former having been once governor of Indiana by election as a republican, and the lat- ter having been governor of New York as a typi- cal Tammany democrat. Of course, a nomination on the prohibition ticket this year, as in other years, is for advertising purposes only, but it | 1s supposed to add to the prestige and stimulate the demand for the man as a public speaker. Governor Hanly is the orator I referred to in my convention reminiscences not long ago in connection with his speech putting Fairbanks in nomination for prtsi&fen! before the republican convention of 1908, when his characteristic ges- ture of bringing his palms together to emphasize the point was caught up by the assembled multi- tude for a resounding smack throughout the Coliseum every time he clapped his hands, with disastrous result§ to his composure and equa- nimity. Governor Hanly has been out here chau- talking, and is an engaging personality. On his last visit, Frank Gaines had him as his guest at a luncheon, their acquaintance dating back to when they were boys together in Illinois. I be- lieve it was developed there that Governor Han- ly's dry record is not a new acquisition. Not so, however, with Governor Sulzer who, too, has been a visitor to Omaha and spoken here at banquets which were the wettest of the wet. [ remember one in particular at which he was the star performer for a democratic feast given at the Paxton hotel, where a prediction that the headliner of the evening would some day as- Eire to be the prohibition standard-bearer would ave created a near-riot. I first heard Sulzer orate when I happened to be in New York as a boy at college, and he was running on the Tam- many ticket for assemblyman for his legislative district. Even then he affected to look like Henry Clay, whom he outwardly much resembles if one can judge bg the pictures. The last time 1 talked to hiin he had just been elected governor of New York and he gave me a cordial invitation to stop off at Albany and visit him. . The fact that Nebraska is to vote this year on rohibition amendment may make our state look ike good campaigning ground for the prohibition spell-binders, and it will not be surprising i have both Hanly and, Sulzer “in our midst” be- fore it is over. The fiftieth anniversary of the driving of the golden spike is to be suitably commemorated with a celebration reaching all the way from Omaha to San Francisco and centering at Salt Lake City, if plans in preparation are carried through, and the first step has been taken by the Utah senators securing official recognition for the event, While the driving of the golden spike marked the completion of the first great trans- continental railroad, it was no more important, in fact less important, than the orignll breaking of the ground which took place in- Omaha in De- cember, 1863, and which should have had ‘a semi- centennial anniversary observance here three years ago. The pages of history unfortunately cannot be turned back, but-I want to record it here that I tried at the time to inaugurate a move- ment for a grand celebration of that fifty-year date, and outlined a program in detail for par- ticipation by state antr city governments and our local civic and commercial organizations, in which I endeavored to interest the responsible people in the Union Pacific, naturally the chief beneficiary of auythm%:ttracting nation-wide attention to that road. rrit Fort, in charge of the passenger department, caught the point at once and seemed -enthusiastic fu:.it, and President Mohler also {;o.mlud a helping hand, but the interest of the nion Pacific soon suffered a sudden collapse which, I was told, was due to the cold reception accorded the suggestion by Chairman Lovett of the executive board, who was the real boss, with- out whose sanction nothing of this kind could be a go. So the semi-centennial of the ground- breaking, the tangible beginning of this wonder- ful achievement in railroad engineering and con- struction, which has revolutionized transporta- tion in a vast empire, thus opened up to settle- ment, passed by with no special attention except that accorded it by The Bee and other local newspapers that reviewed the epochal occasion for the information of their readers. Norman Wait Harris, the big Chicago financier who died a few days ago, counted friends all through this section, with many of whose pioneers he was closely associated in his numerous activi- ties. Although a plain spoken and plain living man, his special study was genealogy, and he was convinced he was able to trace a direct lineal descent to Emperor Charlemagne. I met Mr. Harris several times and once the conversation had a reference to that subject, and I find the he had gathered them with great re- [ and care, set out in his biography. It was Charlemagne who, starting out' as king of the Franks, captured the title of Roman emperor as an additional ornament and claimed to be ruler of all humankind, and by his wife, Hildegarde, founded this dynasty that is still going on and after translation to America had in Mr. Harris a representative in the thirty-ninth generation. His record notes, also, descent in the twenty-sixth generation from Counkess Adelicia, the Fair Maid of Brabant, daughter, of Godfrey I, who married Henry I, king of¥England, and whose second husband was William d'Albini, second earl of Sussex and Arundel; and also descent of the seventh generation from Thomas Harris of England, who settled in Massachusetts Bay col- “ony in 1630. The late Mr. Harris was intensely interested in the work of the Young Men's Chris- tian association, to which he contributed gener- ously. I am not sure that he is on the list of patrons of our Omalia Young Men's Christian association, but it is my impression that he helped this institution out in the early days when P, C. Himebaugh was its sponsor, The Panama-Pacific exposition has issued a handsomely gotten-up book which is called “The Legacy of the Exposition,” and explained as “the interpretation of the intellectual and moral heri- tage left to mankind by the world celebration at San Francisco in 1915.” It is a compilation of epitomized expressions by various distinguished visitors and guests as their testimonials to the fair and its accompanying congresses and what they achieved, It is indeed a very suggestive souvenir and makes one wish that some such volume had been prepared and published for our Omaha ex- position, which could easily have spread out equall! as many bouquets and compliments passed by men and women whose verdicts carry weight, The legacy of our Omaha exposition, however, was the unexampled record that added to its artistic success a financial success measured by the return to the stockholders of ninety per cent of their Subscriptions—which is a legacy that speaks for itself.
