Hughes Answers Secretary Redfield. Mr. Hughes’ reply to the demand of Secretary Redfield that he substantiate statements made at Detroit came very promptly, and quite pointkdly. The letter from fqrmer Director of the Census Durand is a flat statement that his resignation was asked for, Secretary Redfield wanting “to create a vacancy” to be filled by his own selection. The Tittman case is quite similar, only his suc- cessor as head of the geodetic survey was first o | made chief of the fish bureau, and then promoted THE OMAHA DAILY BEE FOUNDED BY EDWARD ROSEWATER VICTOR ROSEWATER, EDITOR THE BEE PUBLISHING OOMPANY, PROPRIETOR.

The sensational upward bound in the price of wheat, following the publication of the August crop estimate from the Department of Agricul- ture, deserves at least part of the attention it is sure to get. To begin with, it does not presage a famine. The United States has wheat in plenty to feed its people, and may have some left over. Last year's wheat crop throughout the world was above any known record. In the United States it amounted to a billion bushels, for the first time in history. The export demand was not so large as had been looked for, because the European countries also harvested bumper crops. The English crop was the greatest in many years, owing to the increased acreage, and this despite the war, Canada, Ttaly, Russia and France showed similar totals, while from India, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Chili yields exceeding any "former figures were reported. What was raised in Germany and Austria is not known, but the governments of those countries insist that wugricultural operations had not then been seri- ously interrupted by the war. This left the world at the beginning of 1916 with the largest surplus of wheat it had ever known. Much less wheat was planted in the United States this year, for the reason the farmers did not feel encouraged to increase the surplus. With the present estimated yield of wheat, all the nor- mal requirements of the United States will be met, and about 34,000,000 bushels left for export. How much of last year's crop is left in the coun- try is not exactly known, but it is a considerable quantity, and means that all anticipated demands for wheat and flour can readily be met. No one need go hungry in the United States because of scarcity of wheat from which to make flour, The rampant bulls may hoist the price even higher than it is, but sooner or later the presence of the actual wheat will be felt, and the market will respond to the law it cannot always evade, that of supply and demand.

Truth always hurts, — Italy’s victory at Gorizia, important as it ap- pears, pales besides the satisfying glory of the Turks getting back to Mush. —— From Detroit to Washington is some distance, but Candidate Hughes' artillery quickly found the range and sent the shots to the right spot. S— " Wonder if the “writers” who signed that round robin are pleased with the particulars they are getting? Mr, Hughes is specific enough. i Unless the Bremen puts in an appearance soon, people will class it with other unconfirmed umors, and turn their attention to something else. Tho;c man-eating sharks must have appeased " their hunger very easily, for they seem to have disappeared from all the Atlantic coast bathing resorts, S——— . As a mqasure of safety first, Secretary Red- field should stick closely to his role of prosperity booster and avoid monkeying with a presidential buzz-saw. 4 g | e— . Nebraska's crop, garnered and growing, looms _bigger than ever as the bulls toss the bears in the grain pits and the price keeps going upward, It is Nebraska's year, Fort Crook is to be used as a training ground for recruits, after all.

Confusion of an uncommon sort marks the closing days of the present congress. It has been in session since the first of December, and now finds its most important business heaped up to be disposed of under caucus rule in order that the members may get out in time to participate in the campaign, The democrats have adopted a pro- gram, convenient for their own purposes, to which the republicans have properly dectined to give as- sent. It should not be required of the minority that it partake of responsibility for mismanage- ment on part of the majority. The democrats con- trol congress in both houses, and in turn the ma- Jority is controlled by the caucus, so that all legis- lation is determined upon in its details behind closed doors, This fixes the responsibility abso- lutely, and if important legislation goes over as unfinished business to the next session, it will be because the democrats did not care to consider it. The waste of time and money by the present ses- sion is chargeable solely to the majority party, and it must take the blame. —— A. B, Stickney and Omaha, A. B. Stickney came to Omaha at an im- portant time in the history of the city. For several years sentiment had been slowly crystalizing on the topic of a grain market here, and Mr. Stick- ney's advent proved the reagent needed to fix opinion and beget action. He not only brought his railroad and his enthusiasm, but he invested money in the enterprise he championed, and he lived to see much of his prediction for Omaha’s future justified by events. The grain market was established and it has grown and ‘will grow, until it reaches the point that was set for it long ago by one of the greatest of all middle west grain nien, the late P, D. Armour, who said Omaha should be the greatest primary grain market in the world. Mr. Stickney backed his faith with works, and his example is still potent if kept in mind. Omaha won only part of its battle when the Great Western came to release the city from some of the shackles put upon it by the big Chicago lines, The future development of the grain market depends on whether the city will be able to overcome a tendency that still exists to drain its natural territory to enrich com- peting market towns. It is not likely another Stickney will arise to help win this further phase of the fight, so Omaha will have to depend on its own merits to make its victory in the market complete. But it has come a long way since A. B. Stickney gave his help and encour- agement, and it ought to be able to solve its problem for itself. See— Colonel Bryan stopped off in St. Louis be- tween chautauqua jumps long enough to tell re- porters that the ripping speeches of Candidate Hughes are “most wicked and unfair” to Presi- dent Wilson. He thinks “Roosevelt's speeches are mild in comparison.” As a critic of critics the colonel speaks as an expert. His experience in driving the Bryan dirk under democratic ribs in Washington and Nebraska gives his diagnosis of the hurt the weight of authority. ot S———— ' Some of those “new" citizens tested the qual- ity of life in the United States for quite a while before they could make up their minds as to for- swearing allegiance to a foreign potentate. We hope they are satisfied, and will never regret their choice. ; t is admittedly the _ The horrors of war are bound to be brightened if the prospect of restricted speechmaking in con- gress is realized. Besides conserving the supply of print paper it will relieve the congestion of canned wind in the cellars of the capitol. d T——— Suffragists unfurled their banner of purple, white and gold on the crest of Pike’s peak and saluted the morning sun with dedicatory speeches. The spectacle fittingly symbolized the advance of the cause to heights of glory and worry. " The soaring price of wheat presents a strong attraction to the venturesome, but nonprofes- slonals should keep in mind that every cent won on the board of trade is lost by somebody. It takes suckers to keep any game going lone. i —— It is good for the eyes, the heart and the lungs to get away from home occasionally. Even Ne- braska editors, though on the lookout all the time, manage to see new things when they cut Joose and circulate.

Washington Post: Senator Jim Ham Lewis has been slated to answer Mr. Hughes, and it must be admitted that he has as fine & set of 'em as can be found in cap- tivity. Baltimore American: Twenty-flve tons of note paper have been sent to the Mexican border for the use -of the National Guards- men., Many will be surprised to learn there is that much left in the country. Indianapolis News: Another thing that must be looked out for is'that the distribu- tion of federal highway money doesn't de- velop & lot of highwaymen. The political raw material is in ample supply for such a result. Boston Transeript: It hasn't been de- cided by President Wilson yet whether the Interstate Commerce commission will find the railroad strike deliberately unfriendly or in restraint of democratic election chances. Kansas City Times: If congress discon- tinues the practice of printing in the Con- gressional Record what isn't said on the floor it will accomplish a reform second only to that which would be accomplished if it ceased to print what is said. Philadelphia Ledger: It is grieving the o'd-line democratic newspspers very much to see how apt the Hughes women are at planning a campaign. The democrats fear for the fireside and the homes if this keeps up, but would see no menace if the women would only vote for Wilson and let the fire- side go hang. New York World: Banning’ the water- melon at El Paso to the troops because the army fly expert says the rind cannot be effectively burned or buried and so draws flies will seem to most people like sanitation gone mad. That soldiers eannot dig a trench deep enough to bury the rinds beyond the reach of flies only a so-called fly expert could believe, and to deprive the troops of the lusclous watermelon on such a pretext indicates that the better plan is to banish the fly expert. EDITORIAL SIFTINGS. Louisville Courier-Journal: Shoe dealers say we shall be paying $10 & pair for shoes next autumn. Then indeed will it be true that the melancholy days are come. Cleveland Plain Dealer: It is reported that Carransza will retire and seek vindica- tion at the polls. He must have the elee- tion machinery right where he can depend upon it. Washington Post: While nineteen out of twenty-seven presidents are reported to have been college men, George Washington and Abe Lincoln help powerfully to make up the shortage. Boston Transcript: Secretary McAdoo has so frightened democratic office holders by his orders to them to keep out of politics that it is feared large numbers will vote only once on November 7.

Baltimore American: The Deutschland has accomplished wonders, whether she fin- ishes her adventurous voyage or not. But cne error about her coming should be cor- rected. Baltimore was on the map long be- fore submarine voyages were thought of. Philadelphia Ledger: Democratic praise of Raymond Robins, former progressive cam- paign chairman, who was supposed to be heading their way, has now changed to abuse, sil he exhorts his followers to vote for Hugl and redeem the country. And yet Raymond is very much the same person today that he was yesterday. Baltimore American: Democrats propose to lower the exemptions of the income tax 80 ms to assess more people. A fine sample of democracy this which would further bur- den Americans and admit with little or no duty foreign products which come into com- petition with our own industries. Still, Eu- Tope first seems to be the demoeratic slogan. | New York World: Aristocratic govern- ments in Great Britain gave that empire a reputation throughout the world not unlike that which Englishmen of todsy would like to fasten upon Germany. In its dealings with the United States and Ireland the pres- ent coalition ministry in London seems to be running true to the form established by Lords North and Castlereagh many years ago. Springfield Republican: Mr. Liloyd- George's statement, reported by way of Paris, that the Byitish army was in sore straits for supplies on June 1, 1915, is a re- minder of & somewhat similar situation fac- ing the American troops in Cuba soon after the first landing and of conditions with which the confederate army were more than once beset during the eivil war, But an im- pressive front is part of the war game. It has its resemblance to poker.
