Icebergs uud Ocean Traffic. War on land and sea has not interfered with one of the most "interesting of international activities. This is ‘the patro] of the North At- lantic steamer laries by United States revenue ‘cutters for the purpose of locating and reporting on dm'eruul fce floes and icebergs. From Feb. ‘ruary to June cach year since 1912, when the Titanic went .down, this service has been con- tinuous, The dreadful disaster, when hundreds were drowned and-the mightiest of all modern ships was sunk, shocked mariners into a realiza- " tion of the fact that they had been dealing too lightly with the iceberg. Since the establishment of the patrol the habits of these vagrants of, the deep have been studied more closely, and what had' been ' looked upon‘as more annoying than | dangerous is now known to be the most serious menace to navigation in the waters concerned. Icebergs are not anly.awe-inspiring, but, they , are unstable apd erratic, and (difficult to locate ~at night or in a fog, :The temperature of the ‘ water or the ain is no indication of the immediate resence of ice, mor does sound give warning in time, td secure safety.. The knowledge that dan- . gerous ice exists in .certain - localities, and that ips must proceed with' caution through the af- ected zone, is the service afforded by the iceberg patrol. ' Wireless reports are made every day and hip masters are continually informed as to con- tions, and thus put on their guard are enabled to minimize if not entirely escape the floating thonsters that-have destroyed so many ships. ; One encouraging fact in connection with the ol is its cost is, prorated among the mari- ime nations of Europe and the United States, and however eagerly the belligerents may seek destruction of enemy shipping, they have not yet ~ proposed that.this service be abandoned or that 4w control be taken from the United States. ¢ 2 v Farmers and the Farm Loan Plan. The am‘lnce agent for the farm land bank board says the board wants to hear from the farmers in person, that it wants first-hand in- formation as to their experiences in borrowing money, and their views as to other matters of detail in connection with the project. It might not have been a bad idea to have gathered some of this information before enacting a law which has been found open ‘to so much adverse criti- cism from men who are familiar with the farm- er's actual needs. But it is better late than never, and the board has come to headquarters for needed knowledge at last. What the Nebraska pioneer, who has grown up with the state, doesn’t know about mortgage loans isn’t worth the time it would take to tell it. None is better qualified than the Nebraska farmer to give expert testimony from the bor- rower’s end of the game. He has run the gamut from the 2 per cent a month grasshopper period up to his present high prosperity, has experi- enced every form of shock and gouge known to the early day money-loaning fraternity, has won his way through all the multifarious forms, ex- change and commission on land and live stock, of harvests garnered and harvests prospective, and now finds himself generally in the position of being able to loan money. It may astonish as well as edify the land bank board to find out how much of commercial paper from the cities was carried by the country banks before the fed- eral reserve banks took the jobber and whole- saler out of the clutches of the merciless farmer. The excursions of the Nebraska farmer into the realm of mortgages covers about the whole field, and if he tells all he knows, the land bank board needs hardly look further for complete and exact information. A Volunteered Correction. The Bee hastens to make a correction of an article printed in these columns a few days ago calling attention to Mr. Bryan’s failure to include the railway wage force bill in his enumeration of the administration’s “ten great achievements.” The Bee's comment was based upon an advance publication of the article as furnished by Mr. Bryan to Edgar Howard under date of Alliance, Nebraska, September 5, as we said at the time, and printed in the Columbus Telegram, but in The Commoner, which is now out, the “ten wonders” have been expanded to eleven through an addi- tional paragraph commending the president’s ac- tion as being “on the side of the common man” and entitled to be approved by the country. The contradiction between this method of adjusting an industrial dispute without arbitration or in- vestigation and the method provided in his peace treaties for adjusting an international dispute by investigation and arbitration, which he extols still higher, is completely overlooked. It is only fair to Mr. Bryan, however, that his acquiescence in the force bill, despite his advoe cacy of arbitration in other fields, and the reason for his inconsistent attitude be stated, What the Soldier Does. When the Sabbath quiet of the country was disturbed by an unexpected order to mobhilize the National Guard most folks wondered what it was all aboul. Some still are mystified by the ex- planations offered by the president, but careful perusal of the advertising columns may throw a little light on the point. According to these in- formants, when thé soldier isn't “rolling his own,” he is chewing everlasting gum, and if he isn't do ing that he is taking a nerve tonic, or swallowing a fizzing drink, or one that doesn't fizz. Then he wears the kind that won't come off, and always carries with him' the pen that father used, but does umost of his writing, however, on the one that folds up. . His waking hours are filled with pleasant occupations df showing the world how good and useful are the things the American manufacturer provides for his fellow man, and his sluthbers are sweetened through the same means. Philosophers and statesmen may differ as to the utility of the soldier, but the advertiser knows ‘what he is good for. —— Bright Side of the Laundry Ticket. The federal census bureau wrests from the washtubs of power laundries columns of imposing figures which lend dignity and financial breadth to-the humble laundry ticket. That narrow strip of the social fabric, too often flouted singly, looms large collectively and forms an important part of the country's industrial literature. Two years ago the bureau checked up the coun- try's wash, or so much of it as goes through power driven machinery, and found the unassuming tick- et to be on jolly good terms with big piles of dol- lars. According to the footings $142,500,000 came out of the year's wash, or an average of $1.42 for each of Uncle Sam's 100,000,000 'family. The average is not an extravagant sum for clean clothes, rather penurious in fact, but the bureau forgot to mention that the original muscle power in the laundry line* continues business at the old stands, The human factor supplements power ma- chinery to a large extent, 150,000 people being employed in all the laundries under review. Bringing ‘an intimate subject nearer home the bureau shows that Nebraska, thirtieth in popula- tion; ranks twenty-ninth in laundry patronage and contributed in 1914 $1,517,924 to the country's to- tal. The season's affect the business materially, rising and falling as the mercury moves in the bulb, It is highest in June and July and lowest in'February, Throughout the year, however, the seventy-four plants average 1,303 employes, two- thirds of whom are wamen and girls. In the five-year period, from 1909 to 1914, the cash business gain in Nebraska amounted to $320,- 000, or 268 per cent. It is evident from this showing that while power laundries keep pace with .enerl;l growth, there is no immediate dan- ?;. o; machinery dethroning the old reliable wash- rd. How foolhardy for the World-Herald to bring up the question of salary-grabbing in congréss. Has it forgotten that when a roll call vote was had on whether senators should continue to draw mileage at the rate of 20 cents a mile, or be re- imbursed only actual traveling expenses, Sena- tor Hitchcock “ducked” and is recorded as “ab- sent and not voting,” by which performance he helped to keep the 20-cent graft going? With that record staring the senator in the face, he should muzzle his editor as to “salary grabs.” Census figures show that during the ten years between 1900 and 1910 the value of farm-lands in- creased from $13,058,000,000 to $28,476,000,000. A corresponding increase took place in the last five years. The uplift in both land and crops sug- gests that enlarged bank vaults would meet the situation quicker than land banks, \ ’ l | fHE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1916. S A RESULT of the republican primary in Il- linois, a number of men are coming to the front in whose personality much interest at- taches. The winner in the contest for the gov- errior ship nomination is Frank O. Lowden, who has a warm spot for Nebraskans dating back to the time when he was head of the Chicago llav'v' firm known as “Lowden, Estabrook & Davis. Both of the two junior members, Judge Her- bert J. Davis, who sat for a few years on our district bench, and Henry D. Estabrook, still a frequent visitor and with property interests here, having been formerly leading legal lights at our local Omaha bar, Colonel Lowden served in congress a succession of terms and wanted to run for governor in 1904 when, losing out, he was salved with the honor of the Illinois member- ship in the national committee. [ was associated with him in the management of the 1908 presi- dential campaign and we went through the 1912 convention preliminaries together and _need scarcely add that he has exceptional qualities of likeableness besides his fine legal talents and general political experience. When he becomes governor of Illinois, as he is certain ic be, he will make a most creditable state executive and, more than that, he will command respect and exert an influence that the governor of a great state like Illinois ought to have. Another winner in the Illinois primary, Medill McCormick, nominated for congressman-at-large, is puzzling to some people until they grasp Q\e’ explanation that, after the last census, 1llinois’ representation in the lower house was increased but the legislature did not see fit to rearrange the districts so that the two additional members ac- corded to the state have no district except the state as a whole in which they are chosen at large the same as United States senators. Young McCormick, named after his grandfather, Joseph Medill, he founder of the Chicago Tribunte, has been in Omaha several times and on one or two occasions with his wife, who is the daughter of the fate Mark Hanna. I remember particularly a arty which they once took west in a private car in which he had along with him as his guests Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Norman Hapgood and Charles Dana Gibson, when they all stopped. over here between trains on a sultry Sunday af- ternoon. He is a great admirer of Roosevelt and loyally went off with him as a bu]l moose but came back bravely in the big convention last June, in which he proclaimed himself, after the nomi- nation of Hughes, in a brief speech that was one of the most telling of all those delivered there. A 1ot of old familiar names may also be found in the returns of the Illinois primary: _Floor Leader Jim Mann was handsomely renominated without even coming home from Washington to show himself, and ex-Speaker Cannon, McKin- ley, Foss and Madden are’all kept in the running. Mr, Madden was on the subcommittee that drafted the republican national platform and was most helpful in securing the insertion of the declaration on citizenship and expatriation which 1 was personally looking after. Mr. McKinley has a large proprietary interest in our Ralston street railway and was here in person to buy it in when it was put up for sale by court order as well as than once since then, He told a good story on himself, growing out of his practice, since he has been in congress, of trying to see all of his con- stituents personally at least once between clec- tions. “I'm a very small man,” he said, “and 1 had two or three little formulas for people that I thought would please them. If I met a man of small stature, T would shake hands with him cor- dially and tell him how glad I was to meet a little fellow like myself, throwing in some casual re- mark, like:‘good things come in small packages.’ 1f I‘camie across a great big man, I would draw back to take him in from head to foot an claim, ‘Well, is that all there is of you?’ “Well the last time I was making my rounds, I came across a veritable young giant and, after introducing myself, stepped away and recited my jece, whereupon he said, “Isn’t that queer, Mr. cKinley? \xlhy, when you met me before you used those very same words.'” ex- Announcement has come that ex-President Taft is to go on a speaking tour of the Middle West which will probably include Omaha. I saw. Mr. Tait in Chicago where he was attending the meeting of the American Bar Association about three weeks ago, in fact, had the privilege of dining with him as guests of Mr. and Mrs. How- ard H. Baldrige. e was in a jovial mood and looking fine, resembling, with his reduced weight, the pictures we have all seen of him taken in his early manhood. What I mean to say is that he looks twenty years younger than he did when he was in the White House and acts and talks as if he enjoyed being care-free. The conversation turned largely upon Yale, of which he is now a part of the institution, and about his son “Robert” and Baldrige’s son “Mac,” who as classmates and fraternity men belong to.the same crowd there. I think it will be no breach of decorum to repeat the retort gallant which Mr. Taft delivered at parting, in response to his host's warm assurance of appreciation of having him with us, “Oh, no,” said he, “the obligation is mine, 1 know of no greater honor and privilege than of dining with the father ;and mother of ‘Mac’ Baldrige.” . | I am pleased to note the elevation of my friend, C. D. Traphagen, to the presidency of the United Typothetae of America, which is the top rung of the ladder for the boss of a job printing establishment. Mr. Traphagen was one of my colleagues on the Workmen's Compensation com- mittee and_he is a worker and level headed all the time. The Typothetae people will know that he is president.

Aunt Polly did not care to mix politics with business, and her ex- ample may be profitable to some per- sistent talkers during the coming cam- paign. She was milking in the cow lot, and her politically excited son found her there. “Maw, you're a democrat, ain't you?" he asked. She made no answer, but he persisted: “Say, maw, ain't you a good demo- crat?" Finally she sald, emphatically: “I hain’t nothin’. I'm a woman milkin’ | a cow. You go in the house and shut up!''—Ladies’ Home Journal. AROUND THE CJTIES. Sioux City's high school opened with an enrollment of 1,300 pupils. Cleveland reports a large shortage of school room. The superintendent says 263 more rooms are needed to meet present demand. New Orleans policemen have been noti- fled to quit wearing gawdy neckties.

The increase will do away with part time in many schools. A tired cloud of mist sat down on Min- neapolis last Tuesday morning and stretched the night into noonday. Night lights flickered in vain and - pedestrians groped their way to shop and office. It was the thickest wet fog on record and heldup men pulled off numerous profitable jobs and quickly loat themseclves in the darkness. The new police commission of St. Joseph, appointed by acting Governor Painter, has clamped the lid on various unseemly actions in town. Gambling is to be suppressed, red lighters banished, wine rooms in connection with saloons closed, and slot machines sent to the junk pile. The old town of the Roubidoux must be good if the police club can make it so. SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT. Houston Post: ever pick at the enemy who hates you, a Cleveland minister. No, indeed; either on him with a piece of lead pipe or let a county separate you from him. Philadelphia _Ledger: The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked has been refused reinstate- ment in his San Francisco church upon his return from the Ford embassy. Peace hath her penalties. Washington Post: A Baptist preacher in Reedsville, Wis., saved the local brewery by turning in the fire alarm; this certainly should insure his early call to a prominent Milwaukee pastorate. Springfield Republican: “Billy” Sunday thinks $1,000,000 would be about right as a sum to provide for his proposed bout with the devil in New York next winter or spring, Evidently he doesn’t propose to meet |/ Dowies' fate by lack of preparedness. St. Louis Republic: When experienced ob- servers of Chinese life see a native man and woman moving along the road side by side, instead of the woman behind the man, they conclude: “That's a Christian Chinaman and he's probably been in America.” When #0 conservative a Christian communion as the Protestant Episcopal church proposes formally to recognize that the marriage re- lation is essentially one of eompanionship and not of agreed subordination of one of the to the other, it but logically registers within Christendom an observed social revolution wrought by Christian teach- ing outside of Christendom’s borders. That is the meaning of the proposed change in the marriage ritual, so that both the man and the woman shall pledge faith to each other in identical words—so that the woman shall no longer be required to give a special pledge to “obey” the man, and so that each shall equally vow to “love, honor and keep™ the other.
